Pre-Cruise
Mom is a snow bird so they were already in Florida. They went over Wed 11/19 and stayed at a studio at the Wilderness Lodge on our points. The other 6 of us flew in on Thursday night after work & school, luckily uneventful and even early on Delta, straight thru flight. We arrived right before 9 pm. Went down to find our driver (your ride) and suprise the girls with the limo and to see if all our luggage made it. I booked a stretch limo for this leg of the trip only, the rest will be in a van. We couldn't find our driver so we headed over to baggage claim and while the other 5 kept getting luggage off, I kept a lookout for our driver and tried to call the company but the cell phone kept hanging up in baggage claim. 4 kids, especially 2 teen have alot of luggage for 11 days! It was all there. A nice porter offered to help and when we said we had a driver, he ran right over, picked him out immediately and hooked us up so we gave him our business. We did get down there earlier than expected and our luggage came really quickly. We were on our way in the limo within minutes. Although not as appreciative as I thought they should be, all 4 girls and even hubby had a great time in the limo drinking cokes out of the minibar and playing Disney trivia with the driver. He was great, wish he could be our driver the rest of the trip but he only does limo's. I think the teens were always expecting a limo from that point out but they were wrong. Mom had already checked into our 2 bedroom at the Beach Club, room 154, loved it! She was waiting downstairs as our limo pulled up. The 6 of us were hungry so we headed down to Beaches & Cream. I only like their icecream but they were about the only thing open. I should have just gotten icecream. Vince and Michaela had the hot dog and loved it. Sierra just wanted Strawberry Shortcake but didn't make a dent in it, it was huge! I didn't like my turkey sandwich. We walked around and then went to bed.
Friday - Went to Fresh Mediterranian Market at the Dolphin for Breakfast. This is one of the best meals we had the whole trip. everyone, even my picky mother absolutely loved it. We then went back so the girls could go swimming at Storm Along Bay. We stayed there until time to get ready for dinner at Trails End at Fort Wilderness and the movie at the Campground, Jungle Book. Dinner was very good. The teens took the boat over to Contemperary and road the monorail and did the arcade and met us back after the movie.
Saturday (We are going to the boat!) - We woke up early and had breakfast at Kona Cafe at the Poly. It was the most dissapointing meal of the trip. Ok, but nothing special and the service was horrible, but since we had 8, she got her tip no matter what. We headed back to the Beach Club to call the bell hop and meet our driver. He was waiting for us even before bell services got up to our room. It worried us because it was Alladin tours and not Your ride but he knew alot of info so we got in. Your ride had farmed out this leg(and the other 2) and they were great but it would be nice to know. Mom thought they were stealing us away from Your ride. We were at the port in no time and I was feeling very sick. I was so scared I was going to throw up in the terminal and be sent home. Mom gave me some kind of gum and I felt better just as we got out of the van. Traffic was bad getting in but once we were in the Disney lot, we got right in. The teens took the little ones to watch TV and see Max while the grownups checked in. Got checked in in no time! Walked right on the ship. I headed to get our Brunch ressies with no problem, and the others headed to the room. We met our room steward, Samuel from Costa Rica and he was absolutely the best! We changed into bathing suits and mom headed to fix one of her shore excursions and me, Vince and the 2 little ones headed to lunch. The teens left us for the trip and we barely saw them again. Mom and Len joined us very shortly. I wanted Parrot Cay but by this time it was after 2pm and it was closed. The embarktation buffet on the Wonder was really bad when we went but this was great. The desserts were very good as well. We then took the girls to the Mickey pool until the drill. Drill went very quickly, we were outside and then we headed to the Sail Away. I had some unpacking to do so I met mom and the girls there. My girls hate loud music so I was very suprised to find them in the midst of all of it on the dance floor. Then we went back to the Mickey Pool until time to get ready for dinner in Parrot Cay. This was the dinner I had been waiting for, I love their ribs. Overall, the Magic's food seemed to be alittle under par from the Wonders but it could be because of all our anticipation of our favorites. I also had the Chicken wings, excellent as usual and the Sweet Onion soup was fabulous. The girls fell asleep at the table so we didn't get to do Sierra's birthday cake, they told me they would do it Sunday. Mom had the Kentucky bourbon pecan pie and is still talking about it. If it was a dessert with liquor in it, it became mom's best friend but this was by far her fav. Len had the lemon meringe pie and said it was wonderful and Vince had the Creme brulee as usual. I had left and brought the girls up to the room and the teens left as soon as they ate their main course to get up to the teen club. Navneet from India was our main server and he was nice enough to send up 2 banana cupcakes for me & Sierra after dinner. This was Sierra's fav last time and mine too(it is on the kids menu) but this time they were horrible, very dry. Mom & Len explored, we lounged in the room with the girls and the teens lived at the stack.
Both rooms had towels and pins for the Castaway Cay Club and we had the photo book package from our ta.
This was moms, Lens and Brittany's first cruise. Girls came in around midnight I think. luckily they ended up in moms room so she had the pleasure of making sure they were in every night. Very calm seas so far!

Sorry to hear about your dad, our prayers are with him and your family.
Not sure as a mom I am too thrilled with that!
