I am not sure. I had only been on the Wonder, and I know that stateroom had a huge trunk at the foot of the bed and had absolutely no room underneath the bed for storage. I kind of thought the room on the Dream was better. Not sure of the dimensions though.

The very crowded pool. Don't even get me started on the hot tubs.

One of my favorites! My "happiest" moment from our last cruise was when Ducky Williams came over to our table at dinner and asked Dustin if he could draw him a picture!! OMG I will treasure it always!

Grand Floridian Spa to close for 18 months during DVC construction
The spa at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa will close for 18 months starting September 19, according to the Orlando Sentinel. The closing is the next step in the construction of what is expected to be a Disney Vacation Club resort at the Grand Floridian, which we're referring to as the Grand Floridian Villas. The 18-month timeframe would seem to indicate that the major exterior construction of the new building will be completed in that time, though it's expected that the interior furnishing of the resort will extend beyond that time. This will disappoint those who booked Walt Disney World's most luxurious resort, with the highest per-room prices (starting at $440 per night and going up from there) for the Walt Disney World Marathon weekend, expecting to use the spa facilities after their races. Until the Grand Floridian's spa reopens, the only remaining Disney spa is the one at the Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. There is also the Mandara Spa at the Swan and Dolphin Resort, and the spa at the Buena Vista Palace Hotel & Spa on Hotel Plaza Boulevard near Downtown Disney.

Tyler's brother, Matt currently is with Memphis (AAA affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals) playing 3rd base and was called up earlier this season for a short time with the parent club. (In other words, he got the call to the show for a cup of coffee. )

If you guys can get out and see the Cyclones, please get a couple of pictures of Tyler for me.

Thanks!
