[TIGGERmetoo]

Jennifer - So sorry to hear of everything that went wrong. Here's some
to help you feel better soon.

 

[calypso726]

Did everyone get this? We didn't.

Yes, I believe so. They came in this box

 

[calypso726]

Speaking of getting out of comfort zones. Here's Wally who is allergic to alcohol but decided to got to both Mixology seminars anyway ...

He did wind up doing a little tasting ... and here's what happened next

 

[TIGGERmetoo]

Yes, I believe so. They came in this box

Thanks Terrie. I'll look through our stuff - maybe we did get them and I just don't remember.

 

[Luckymomoftwo]

Thanks Terrie. I'll look through our stuff - maybe we did get them and I just don't remember.

Terri - those were in our room the very last night...we got the wine glasses earlier in the day and we got these pins when they did turn-down while we were at dinner. I hope you got them! If not...I'd be calling DVC in the morning!!!

I just wanted to say

so much for all the wonderful planning all the Dispeeps did, it was such an awesomesauce experience, one I'll never ever forget.

I've been pretty sick since I got back:
I developed a bad cold last Wednesday while on the cruise. Then female mother nature crept in, she really does have a sense of humour. Rained on us while at MK, then at Epcot, rode Test Track (LOVED IT ).

The CM at TT said, get the "orange ticket" at Mission Space...well...Saw the "little bags" in the ride for undigested food, thought uh-oh....As soon as the ride started, my eyes started spinning. I seriously was looking for the EJECT button, no go... Ride stopped, sat down and drank some water.

Walked to Le Cellier, couldn't even eat a grain of rice. Allen had to wheelchair me because I was soooo sick.

Got back to BWV, not even 10 minutes into sleeptime, the Fire Alarm started to go off. I couldn't get up, I was that sick. Allen checked it out, said it was a test. Then it went off AGAIN, and AGAIN, and AGAIN. By the fourth time Allen went down to the desk to make a formal compaint. While he was there, the alarm went off again, by this time the pitch was so painful, I walked outside and laid down on one of the recliners by the pool. Lucky it was close by...Then....wait for it..

It started to rain on me.
Long story short, Disney magic worked it's way, yet again, and was able to comp us for one night.

I'm going to crawl back in bed now. Didn't want my Dispeeps to think that
you were forgotten.
At least I don't have to hide the thread anymore. Francesca says hello to everyone.

Hi Cali,
Feel better soon, it is never good when a nurse needs a nurse.

 

[friends with mickey]

Did someone say incriminating photos????

The infamous ... THONG!!!!

Allen & I tried to plunder and pillage the thong from Junior with our swords

To no avail

Wally tried to shoot Junior's thong

Ian showed Junior & Wally a "special tree" where they might be able to lay the thong to rest in an appropriate spot for a thong

Mary Poppins said that was not allowed

So Junior decide to wear the thong and shake his money maker

Sereiously, I totally agree with Junior. You guys made this cruise worth it. I got out of my comfort zone. I am actually fairly antisocial but you guys, I like so I got to be sociable, make new friends and never felt uncomfortable at all

Terrie,
Thanks for posting the photos, Debbie and I are trying our best to explain all of this to our daughter and laughing our butz off in the process Can't wait to run into all our new Dispeep friends somewhere down the road

 

[friends with mickey]

Reallity is here, it has set in and it sucks! Last week it was freedom, sunshine and palm trees. Now it's back to work, rain and falling leaves. I had a blast on vacation. I did things that were waaaaaay out of my comfort zone and I'm sure there are plenty of incriminating photos to prove it. You guys turned an underwealming and overpriced cruise into one that was worth ten times more!! I thank you all for it!

You are so right. It was all the folks from this thread that made the cruise great and Junior, you and Debbie were a big part of that. Hang in there January is coming!

 

[Luckymomoftwo]

Hi John - glad to hear you made it home safely without incident. I went to my Dr today. I have 2 compression fractures in my back. Now I know I had a good reason for my back to hurt. I'll be fine in 6-8 weeks, just in time for our next trip to the world!

I sure hope you feel better in six weeks rather than eight weeks!

DISmeet went well (autocorrect )

Made it back to Indiana late last night. No (new) issues with the Navigator. Got a free new tire replacement from our dealer. And if I would have kept what was left of the old tire, we could have gotten damage to the side of the truck fixed too.

Yea, where were you Andy? We didn't have time to talk much before the Muster Drill, but I was sure we'd run into each other somewhere. I kept asking people about you and even tried calling your cabin once. Hope you were out having fun and not nursing a sore knee.

Sue, I really wanted to make it up for the Sunrise Coffee Club at least once, but there were just too many late nights. Glad we met at the Off-site DISmeet and again at the beach. It was cool when Dustin came past us Tuesday night at the Wine Club with a cutie (girl #2 I think, the dark haired one) and yelled out, "Hi John." He took her out for ice cream.

I had a great time at Vicki's Offsite DISmeet at Fishlips and at Mickey's Wine club. Sorry Lara couldn't make either one, but it was for the same reason. She is 8 months pregnant and we were really worried she wouldn't be let on the ship so we were keeping that on the down low. Remember at the beginning of the year when Andy posted that it was probably too late, but not to get pregnant right now. It was too late, and I hadn't done the math (plus I hate to pass up the opportunity ).

Thanks to Dan & Sue we had a great time on the pontoon Illuminations Cruise and for the First Annual Vacation Ending Bash. Our Captain offered to cut the cruise short due to the rain, but thanks to Tim for insisting we take the whole tour. She had a lot of interesting trivia along the route, and the resorts look beautiful at night from the water. Terri, I hope your back starts feeling better. Please give us an update when you're back up to speed. Terrie, I enjoyed one of each of your drinks plus Dan's Chartruse (sp?) from France. The Red Velvet cake drink was the most interesting mixed drink and the icing on the rim was perfect.

It was great meeting everyone at the various gatherings. We ran into friends everywhere we went. I dashed down from the Wine Club around midnight to see if guest services knew anything about the traditional group photo the next day and there was Ian and Laura!

And once again, the DIS portion of the cruise was more enjoyable for all of us thanks to Milford, Wally & Terrie, Debbie, Terri, Andy, and Mike. All who worked hard on various voluntary tasks.

John - sorry about the tire problems but glad you got it all resolved.

CONGRATS on the upcoming addition to your family!!! When we went on the 2003 member cruise, I was in my 25th week of pregnancy...so I, too, fibbed to DCL about my pregnancy. I'm sure people do it all the time. You will have to post pictures when the time comes!

Jen - I'm so sorry you are "under the weather". (yes...pun intended). Seriously, though, I hope you feel better soon! That's not fair that you did so much planning to make it such a special vacation for your family and then you got sick! Tell the family Junior and I said hello.

You are so right. It was all the folks from this thread that made the cruise great and Junior, you and Debbie were a big part of that. Hang in there January is coming!

We never have so much fun with anyone anywhere as we do with our DISPEEPS...whether it be in Indy, Chicago, DCL, or WDW. Are you guys going on the January cruise too?!

I wish we could. We have a trip planned to WDW January 22-27, so January is the month we are all waiting for.

OH MY GOD IM KILLING MYSELF LAFFING AT THE PHOTO OF US AT A CERTAIN TREE.

 

[Truffle]

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the warm well wishes for Abbie. I hope she does well on her Disney phone interview, she'll be right in the Magic when it happens.​

I will show Abbie all the postings when we are on the ship.
See ya'll on the Dream tomorrow!

We never heard how it went! I bet that I'm not the only one who wants to find out... Hope it went verry well, and that she will be a cast member soon!

Wow! I have much to say, and it is far too late for me to be starting now. Glad everybody made it home safely! What an amazing 10 days! All y'alls are the BEST! I will write more tomorrow, but Sue will kill me if I don't make it to bed fast!

 

[calypso726]

Terrie,

It was SO great meeting you and Debbie! I will be posting more photos. Don;t forget there is a photobucket account that Debbie made where we can all share our pics. I've got pver 180 in there.

OH MY GOD IM KILLING MYSELF LAFFING AT THE PHOTO OF US AT A CERTAIN TREE.

I thought it was hilarious that we went to go ride the Buzz Lightyear AND look for yor tree there and then VOILA we ran into you and Laura right there

 

[Luckymomoftwo]

Good morning to all of my DIS friends! How is everyone today?
Andy-how's the knee?
Terri-how's the back?
Jennifer-are you feeling any better today?
And all of you with the sinus issues, I hope you're all feeling better.

Have a great day!

I know you are all tire of seeing this, but I think it was Stacey (Mrs. Happycamper) who told me Virginia belongs with the south. And that made the regional totals more interesting.
