Thank you for the WDW portion of your trip report. I could not believe how much I missed going to WDW before the cruise. At least seeing the pictures I can pretend I was there. I love the narrative you put into your pictures.

Loved your TR! We were on the ship the week before you. It was nice to see pictures of the cruise director, Rachel. And we had Marco when DH and I had our adults dinner (although DH kept saying "Marco! Palo!".)

Lisa,

After all these weeks I finally got around to reading your GREAT trip report. Awesome job and your photos are fantastic. You covered everything so well, I really didn't need to take any pics. May I copy some of yours ? Those discs Angie sent weren't that great, so don't even waste your time with them. Thank you so much for everything, and for all of your hard work on behalf of the GP.

Dennis

The pier was blocked when we returned due to a rope that was securing the ship fraying. The crew brought out an axe and chopped thru the remaining cords.

The rope fell, we cheered, and boarded our ship to get something to eat. It had been quite a while since most of us had eaten. We sat around the pool talking about the day’s events while the kids watched Cinderella on the Dumbotron.

Dinner that night in Lumiere’s was fun. After requesting a basket of banana bread from PC the first night of the cruise in Lumiere’s we received a basket of warm bread every night.

DD got her picture taken with Sorcerer Mickey and this was the night that Max appeared in the Atrium.

We also saw Princess Minnie appear in front of the tree. I quickly rounded up the kiddos to go get pictures since this was a first for us.

The show tonight was Twice Charmed. This has to be our favorite. Last year we attended the matinee performance as well as the regular evening show. DD and I listen to the soundtrack at least twice a week. I fully expected her to belt out the songs right along with the cast, however she was mesmerized once again and sat with her jaw near the floor the entire show.

After the show we went to the Atrium to tell Cinderella herself how much we enjoyed her performance and waited for Mrs. Clause to read a story.

We knew to look for this event from our cruise last December. DS was over tired and was taken to the room before this began. The effect of this action was lessened by the fact that there was a note in the stateroom waiting for DS from the staff and crew of The Magic with a $10 arcade card inside. When we first checked out our stateroom he had found two brass ships with pencil sharpeners on the bottom. He was sad that the kids who were there last week had lost them because he wouldn’t want to lose a toy he bought on the ship. I told him that we could take them to Guest Services to be put in lost and found so that they could be returned to the owners. We hadn’t remembered to have them with us until that afternoon after the tour. He took them to GS and explained the situation to the CM there. I asked if they could mail them to the children since I know that I would not have called DCL to inquire about something so small being left behind. She confirmed that they would be sent out to them after the ship docked Saturday morning and commended DS for being so thoughtful. The characters appeared briefly after the reading and the DD and friends enjoyed giving them more hugs.

DS was already sleeping when DD and I returned to the stateroom after saying good night to our friends.

I can't see them. Could repost them.
