You were there on pirate night? I don't even understand that comment as we were paged to go get DD before the dessert was served and unfortunately had to leave early.So, you were the couple behind us at Palo? What a coincidence.Your DH would NOT shut up with the server and let her do her job!
Yes it takes a very "Disney-person" to say such a thing.
It was our fault that not once were our drink orders waiting for us when we sat down.
This was my 20th cruise - 4th with DCL, and I also noticed that the drinks weren't waiting when we arrived. But then I noticed that we all seemed to change our drink orders each night. I wondered if they had encouraged the asst servers NOT to place the drinks ahead of time. It really was nice to be able to change my mind each night. If it had been important to me, I would've advised the asst server.
We thought DCL would offer so much more but for us it just worth the extra. Sure there were highlights, but never has a vacation fallen so far from the mark as far as expectations. That must be our fault too.
Tina was still trying to get me to go on the one in September but the only thing that is available right now is a CAT 9 and it's almost 50% more than what we payed on this one. Actually, truth be told, we're toying around with the idea of postponing a cruise next year (even though we absolutely LOVED this last one and loved even MORE all of you guys that would actually say 'hi' and get involved with other DISers) and we're thinking of moving to Orlando and working for Disney. We both are both in denial and wishing we were down there so much, plus the perks of being a cast member is too much for us. Cast members get to take cruises for $60 a night!!WITH A VERANDAH!!!
You drop more money than that at a dinner somewhere. So, here's hoping that we can decide what to do.
Watching my daughter's face light up with the appearance of each character was such a delight. I know this cruise was really for her. The last night, she turned and Stitch was right there and I thought she would explode from happiness.
How can you be "depressed" about this cruise after this statement???
One thing we (DH and I) missed was the doting attention every server and ever other cruise line employee has bestowed on our daughter and the pampering we have felt on every other cruise line.
No they were not. The only thing on our dresser was the cruise line book. We never had dinner tickets in our stateroom, but you must have visited our stateroom to know better.
Nope no signs on our doors I made two huge Mickey and Minnie's to put on our window so when we got off the ship we could see which room was ours but since I left all of our door stuff at home I put them on the door to our rooms but my minnie somehow grew legs and walked off.
During the meet the boys had just gotten out of the pool so naturally they were starving, they ate at the table a few feet away from everyone, I snuck off for a bit and grabbed our lanyards. I am sure we crossed each other at some time or another but since we don't know what each other looks like it kinda makes it hard to tell...
During the group pic we were in line to see mickey and when we finished y'all were finished.
I've been trying to convince Jim to do this for more than 25 years. We were hooked after our very first visit to WDW. He's never been interested until now. After the cruise we went to PO Riverside for a few days. While we were there, he suddenly asked me how long it is until I can retire (5 more years!). He wants to know how I would feel if we moved to Orlando and work for Disney. Friends of ours are doing that next year (they already have jobs lined up!), and our DS is being considered for a dispatching job at the Reedy Creek Fire District headquarters, so the whole family would be together. Hmm, now that he thinks it's his idea, I guess we'll be CM's in about five years, less if I can take an early buyout at the end of my current contract, which is three more years!
Amber--it's funny that you mentioned this. I've often wondered why there are no flies at the buffet, and so few insects anywhere on the island! We so some huge dragonflies at the beach, but they're the only insects we saw. We did see a lot of fish in the water, including some really pretty ones that were actually jumping out of the water around our feet.
I forgot that we need to go to New York as soon as my work lets me, so we are crossing our fingers for september!
The Diser's taking over Disney!!!! BTW...Thank you soooo much again for the fonts!!!!! I haven't been able to put them on my computer yet because Robby has been downloading all our pictures onto the computer, but when I do, it will be AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Wouldn't that be so cool if we all worked together!!!!!!
The best cast member offers are if you leave in very short notice, so unless i get "sick" we just get 15% off, because my office is so strict about vacation time. So us cruising again later this year depends on luck and lots of wedding present money hopefully
I am still not unpacked from the trip which is a bit embarrassing...but i still have to finish my holiday shopping!
rbennet: I want to move to Orlando too! There really are alot of opportunities there, in Tampa my option was answering calls or emails. PM me if you are thinking of applying, i can give you my personel number...disney likes referals.
O.k....maybe i should be unpacking.....but that means the vacation is officially over
Something about paying off bills or something like that. I don't see a problem!!! ) We will definately look you guys up when we go to casting and apply. If we don't get to go on the cruise in September 
, I'm trying to talk him into taking a short trip to WDW to go to casting. Wish us luck!!!!
I was wearing a green shirt and a green lanyard...does that help at all??
I wish you well as well. Enjoy your upcoming trips, see you on Cruise Critic boards.
Yikes!!!
I have to drop off DS's Pasta Vodka for his Christmas party at Vocational School.... Back Later
Vodka for a school party? Wow, our school parties were not nearly that much fun way back then!
