And we have told everyone in earshot that this was the BEST vacation ever, and the best of the 4 Disney cruises we've done! Wasn't that weather great? And that last day at CC was glorious! Hi to all those we met, and sorry we didn't get to meet everyone. DD Kelsey had a blast with her new friends Maddie and Bethany! Did everyone re-book on board? Can you believe this: we met another couple on board with 2 small children who seemed to be having fun. This was their second DCL cruise. They actually told me that they were looking forward to coming home and preparing their own food and watching TV! The father said "you know what I mean?" and I said "Uh....let me think....NO!". Is he crazy (must be, because he said they were never cruising again.) We were looking for places to hide on the ship so that we could stowaway on the next cruise!

Welcome home! Why cat 4s? Why not 2 lower cats? We usually do 2 conn 10s or a 6 and an 11 across the hall...way cheaper than a 4....


PS what happened to our tag? I placed it on Judys door the very first day and never saw it again?

Amanda- I don't think I can book 2 cabins without another adult to go on the res for cabin #2. I would do that if I could because I'm cheap. Even though 13 is charged as an adult price, I don't think they can legally put her as the main person on the ressie- it'd be 4 of us in one, and her in the other. Maybe I could talk another dupe-- I mean a kind, nuturing adult-- to come with us...

Hi all,

I am so sad that this trip is over. We had such a great time. Met many of you but not all. Amanda you are welcome any time. It is so hot here I think you still have many weeks to plan a trip to the beach. We just got home. I am on my second load of laundry. We spent yesterday in Tallahasse with the boys. The football game was so hot. I was so depressed taht jst 24 hours earlier I was floating in Serinity Bay. It was hotter in Tallahassee. It was nice to see this kids. Had lunch with them today and then on to home.

Happy laundry every one, the floor still seems like it is moving. I surane don't want to go to work tomorrow.

Can you guys who took pictures at brunch please send them to me?

Joanne

Hello everyone! We made it home several hours ago, but I have been busy unpacking, doing laundry and supervising the finishing touches to homework assignments. I was so glad that I got to meet so many of you. I didn't get to talk to you guys as much as I had wanted. I brought all my quaters back with me, and we never did meet for those drinks at the deck 4 comfy chairs. Oh well, sounds like a good excuse for another trip.

I'm going to try my best to do a trip report this coming weekend. We really did have a great time. We probably spent our week in a totally different way than any of you, but we had a wonderful time and wouldn't change a thing, but maybe tried to see some of you more. Just in case I don't get to that trip report for a while, let me tell you guys about dining at Topsiders. I asked the service team about how the menu is determined. They told me that they are closed during dinner on the first and last nights because Disney wants everyone to meet their service team in the rotational restaurants and then again on the last night so that everyone can pay the tips. Topsiders menu for Sunday is the same as Lumiere's reg menu. Monday is Animator's menu. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday is the same as the rotational restaurants. We ate diner there every night but one. I am going to look the menus up on the Dis to see they were right, but I am sure they are.

Well, I guess I'd better get some work done here at the house (which isn't much thanks to the excellent job of my cleaning lady) because once I go back to the office tomorrow, I will have late hours every night this week trying to get caught up. My secretary told me on Wednesday afternoon that my mail tray was full and she had started putting my mail to be reviewed in stacks based on how important she felt they were so that I can review the things that need immediate attention first. Sounds like I have a fun week ahead of me.

Everyone keep in touch.

 

[seashells]

I find my self thinking about what I would have been doing if I was on the ship. Like right now I would be at Lumiere's for dinner. Ah well, the memories will have to do for now. I do find it nice to be reading your posts after getting to know "yall" (thank you for the slang princess!)

 

[GaCruisers]

We are back at home now, DW says she will unpack tommorrow while i'm at work
It was so great to meet everyone, it was such a MAGICAL vacation. Thanks so much for everyones tips before we left, you had us feeling like old timers We had so much fun and loved the sea days that me and the DW booked the 14 night "bringing the magic home" cruise for next August, we will be leaving the kids at home
But now the DW does not want to wait till '08 to take the kids back on another cruise so first thing in the morning i'll have to start buying some lottery tickets I'll try to post some of our trip report this week.
Hope to sail with you DIS'ers real soon

Hello everyone...

Glad to see that everyone has made it home ok. We had such a great time as well.

Amanda we miss you as well. I hope you are feeling better. I just got home from the hospital. Jeff was not feeling well this afternoon and waiting until 7:30pm to take him to the hospital. Our reg dr. thinks it phenumon but one of the drs. in the ER department didn't want to rule our Congestive Heart Failure. The 3rd dr. came in an said he was almost certain it was phenumon because he had the high fever and his white blood count was way high. They finally admitted him at 1am and when he got to his floor it was the last room, (sharing with another sicky who was snoring very very bad) and they had no pillows left and asked jeff if he could bare it for one night. Well need less to say he checked himself out. We have to follow up with his reg doctor tomorrow so it looks like I wont be at work tomorrow. I'm going to hit the hay now have to be up early tomorrow to have him looked at. I'll keep in touch and hope everyone is feeling fine. They think he picked it up from someone on the Cruise. But wouldn't change the week for nothing. Had lots of fun.

Have a great day everyone.

Kathy

OMG Kathy I hope Jeff is ok! And just as Amanda said I too need an email address. Keep us updated!

Well we got home yesterday and it was so hard to watch that last show of wishes on Sat. night knowing it might be at least 2 years before I get to see it again. I cried at the end of it. Eric and I had such a great trip and meeting all of you was just the cherry on top! Drinking coffee at Starbucks just isn't the same as the Cove! We are planning a Sept 08 cruise so anyone who wants to come with is welcome! Amanda and Steve are coming, Steve already said yes and he can't take that back!

Oh my DSIL told me a funny story, my DMIL was at church yesterday and they were asking if anyone needed prayers. She said that we were on our way back from a Disney cruise and they she wanted prayers for our safe trip home and that she hoped we brought home a "little souviner!" So yesterday while we were on the plane a whole church full of people were praying for a "souviner" for my DMIL. Of course she swears all she wanted was a t-shirt!

 

[ericamanda01]

Hey this time difference sucks! I am still on ECT! I woke up at 4:15 am! And someone took the room service button off my phone!!!!

PS what happened to our tag? I placed it on Judys door the very first day and never saw it again?

Amanda, we got the tag and tagged Stargater. They had several tags on their door, so they ran around tagging a bunch of people. I never got tagged again, so I can't say what happened to it.

But it sure was fun to be FIRST!

As I am sitting here at my desk at work, it feels like the building is swaying. Did anyone else feel all the movement on the ship around 4:30am Saturday morning coming back into port? What was that all about? I thought I was going to roll right out of bed!

 

[JOANNEL]

OMG, tell Jeff we hope he is ok. I woke up this am with a sore throat. I hope it passes quickly. I just had such a hard time going to work today. I did see the sunrise over the beach so that was pretty.

I am still feeling the ship move. The rolling ship Sat morning was when we stopped to let the port pilot on. We came to a dead stop and that little boat pulled up next to us.

Have a good monday!!!

 

[Nette]

But it sure was fun to be FIRST!

You were first merely by chance. I couldn't find my list and so we went looking for a door sign we recognized.

On Thursday night we went looking for the green mickey and couldn't find him, we walked ALL of the decks.

Who has him? I'd love to see a picture!

Amanda- I don't think I can book 2 cabins without another adult to go on the res for cabin #2. I would do that if I could because I'm cheap. Even though 13 is charged as an adult price, I don't think they can legally put her as the main person on the ressie- it'd be 4 of us in one, and her in the other. Maybe I could talk another dupe-- I mean a kind, nuturing adult-- to come with us...

Julie

I am a kind nurturing adult who does not mind sharing rooms with children - and I am a certified teacher so I have passed background and other such tests!

 

[seashells]

Jeff I do hope you feel better soon and that it is not something serious!

 

[skoi]

Sorry to hear about Jeff. Hope he's doing better soon. Dh, ds, and older dd have all come down with something as well-- coughing, lethargic, sore throat, etc. So possibly it was something from the ship.

I see I have lots of takers for our 4 possible 4 day misadventure. Have to call the travel agent and see if I can work things out.
