11/11/06 Double Dip - Short Report & Pics

[Wojo]

Hi all! We just returned from our first cruise, and what a great cruise it was! We cannot say enough about Disney Cruise Lines, and how well they treat their guests.

The cruisers were: Me (Dave), Shelly (DW), Mike (Oldest DS), Kyle (Youngest DS), Bob (good friend), Melanie (good friend & Bob's DW), Katie (Bob & Melanie's DD)

I'm not much for posting, so you won't be getting a lengthy trip report outta me...sorry. Just wanted to say that these first timers had a blast, and are now hooked. We rebooked for the 12/1/07 western.

Here are the pics that were mentioned in the title. 11/11/06 Double Dip Pics (best viewed by clicking on "Slideshow")

was that your room with the mickey ears on the door number? I thought that was the most clever of all the decorations I saw.

Dave
Great Photos. It looks like you guys had a great time. I wish that we had actually met while on board. It is cold in Florida today (feels like the 30's with the wind) I wish we were back on the Magic!!!!!

We had three rooms decorated with the Mickey ears. This was all done by DW, and I'm sure she'd say that she "borrowed" the idea from somebody on these boards.

We really enjoyed Paradise Beach. The only disappointment was the snorkeling. The hurricane pretty much destroyed the area for any snorkeling from the beach. Kyle (DS) and I went on the 2 hour snorkeling excursion right from Paradise Beach. It took us out to Palancar and Columbia reefs. AMAZING!!!

you guys had Adrian! did you like him? we thought he did a great job...I just plunked him into my trip report today...along with his Fiance! very cool! Thanks for sharing the pics.

We had Adrian at Topsiders as well and loved him!!! I wish he had been our regular server.

My DH and DS8 paid for the iceberg/tramp use and me and DH15 went on a wave runner, and DH had a massage which he really enjoyed. We had Freddi as a server and we kept him running that's for sure. We had the amazing quesadillias and I loved the pico!!!

Hey we were neighbors! My family and I were in rooms 2601, 2605 and 2606. WE saw those cute ears and I thought- genius! We had door signs too but I was so stupid and forgot to take a picture of them. Mine was just a scapbook page that said "What a Bunch of Characters" and then it had mickeys and minnie with our names under them. It also said"Disney Magic welcomes the Nyquist Family". I think I saw you in the halls- many times while I was trying to wrestle my boys back into the stateroom to go to bed. They didn't want to give it up every night!
It was really a wondrful trip- MAGICAL in every way!

We loved Adrian and Aditya. They were the reason our teens came to dinner each night! We plan on requesting Adrian next year. Aditya will be home in India finishing school.

You had a stroller, right? Wrestling the boys to bed, heehee, I remember those days! Now they are teens and are learning the consequences of staying up too late. I do remember the signs on the doors but couldn't put them together with names from here. Hope our boys did not snore too loudly for you.

Our trip was "Magical" enough that we are rebooked for 12/1/07!

Yes, that was my sister in law- she had her two small boys with her and I had my boys with me so we had staterooms full of testosterone Did you have Reeda as your stateroom steward? She was wonderful! I am so mad at myself for not rebooking- did you rebook?

Shelly & Dave (Bob & Melanie too)! You guys were the first cruisers we ran into on our vacation (enjoying what looked like some very yummy drinks at the bar at the Residence Inn). It was fun meeting you guys. Your photos look great! I knew you'd find DCL addictive!
