2 DISNEY ships together in 1 PORT!... PIRATE NIGHT w/pictures!

[Disneygrl36]

Lynn you guys looked great. Were those the dresses you made????? WOW!!!!
We did Palo on formal night so we didn't get to see the Animators Palate show this time.........I can't believe we missed Sorcerer Mickey, but dinner at Palo was soooo good.

 

[dizzi]

I made DD dress but not mine.

 

[Disneygrl36]

Well it's beautiful. When did you wear the Mickey dresses?????
Also, I remember one thing you did between Palo & Formal night......scrapbook swap. :

Well we all went to the Charcter Breakfast. It ws in Parrot CAY our favorite restaurant!

I liked sitting down to have breakfast with out new Dis Buddies.

BUT i was not totally impressed with the Character Breakfast ...CHARATER PART! We have been to several Character Dinners, AND we were aware that they WOULD NOT BE COMING TO OUR TABLE..........And at first i thought NO BIG DEAl......Well it was a big deal for me. Maybe not for the kids.

MOST of the interaction was with the characters was in themiddle of the room, in which we could not even see form our tables, the kids woudl get up and do different dances with the characters, while their breakfast got cold.....not that i care about cold food for kids...they are kids after al....i just like the simple quiet interaction with the character at the table MUCH BETTER///////////////////ALTHOUGH I WOULD choose to go again, and hopefully be sat in a different spot so that i could see better!

The Servers were really good to make it fun even when the characters were not out!

QUICK GLANCE AT MICKEY!!

We had a good morning ................
BUT CAN WE GET OFF THIS SHIP ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dizzi]

Even though i was not as SICK and DIZZI as i had been , i have to say i was still wanting to get off the boat, even at this time i was still saying......I dont think we will ever do this again.
Nothing was wrong it just didnt seem right yet.
I was still a bit dizzi when enclosed, and that means even if i ws in my room with a verandah. I had to be out on deck 9 to be completly DIZZI FREE.......

BUT ALAS i still had the rest of the day to get through!

NEXt up....
DUCKY WILLIAMS
and
DIS TRICK OR TREAT!!!!!!!!!

[Disneygrl36]

Lynn.......thanks for the character breakfast photo's. We didn't make it to that as I was going to the DIS ladies brunch at 10:30. Cute bows

 

[dizzi]

Even though i still wasnt feeling the best, I so much wanted to go to the DUCKY WILLIAMS talk.

I had heard it was very good.

I also had an idea it would be very boring and that i woudl wish half way through that i had not gone into that concealed room!

I have to say it was well worth getting dizzy for and a little tiny bit seasick for!!!!

His story is AWESOME i wont give away ANy details just in case anyone gets the chance to go for the first time.......He is a GREAT STORY TELLER! And his TRUE story is AWESOME!

And the whole time he is telling the story he is drawing pictures.

And then he has a drawing at the end to give out all the pictures he has drown, unfortunatley we did ot get one.......... Maybe next time!

Ducky getting ready to draw

These are all things he had drawn at one time or another


We saw Ducky several times after wards......
Once he was on the same tour as us
and
one other time Dh was looking at this HUGE group of people in a picture at shutters, he took it down and said wow this is one huge group of people and then he said WOW it has DUCKy in it.and then he said he flet soemone lookign at him, and it was DUCKy himself........Ducky said, i just wondered who was looking at my picture.....and they talked for a minute,,,,
Just a really great, cool guy!

We had the great fortune of having a wonderful lady organize our our dis board trick or treat.
It was done in the form of a scavenger hunt and she joined like age groups together and had wonderful clues made up to find or head in the direction of the next clue and so on until we got to the last clue which led us back to the start where they had GREAT BIG HUGE bags of candy and treats ready for each child!!!!!!!!!
There were a couple of obstacles in our way like too many men drinking where we wanted to start and a wedding going on where we wanted to end but we OVERCAME and the kids had a great time!
DEFINITLEY a highlight for MY DD!!!!!!

I wish i had taken more pictures of this..but i was having so much fun i forgot toooo

Kids getting arranged into groups

Kids getting one of the clues!!!!!

This night we saw the show Twice Charmed and once again that theatre makes me very dizzi and a bit sea sick.
I decide this will be my last show for the cruise.

It was normal dinner night and both kids decided they would stay in the kids club for dinner,which was kind of nice to have dinner with no kids!
BUT NOT NICE ENOUGH FOR ME TO SAY I WOULD EVER DO THIS AGAIN

It just didnt seem right, my head was always a bit dizzi and i guess i just couldnt find my sea legs.... my sea head.... or my sea stomach!
Maybe this just wasnt for me after all!


NEXT UP:
WHAT FINALLY MADE IT ALL WORTH WHILE!!!!!!!!!

 

[Babs417]

Tell mt now Lynn Im going Down to Cape May for the weekend. Ihave to know what made you feel so good about the trip. I was lucky and didnt get dizzy only if I drank alot. so I just slowed down. I cant wait for the next trip, but it will have to be in the summer because of school for the grandkids.

My kids loved the scavenger hunt! Too bad about the wedding in Sessions. The kids were looking forward to spending some time with the kids in their groups. That's me giving out the clues - I was originally supposed to be on the sports deck, but it was closed because of the wind and weather - so it was moved to the elevator lobby of the Stack. But I still had to go outside because most didn't know where the 'Stack' was. Thanks again for all the organized - only if the weather cooperated! (and those people didn't get married!) lol

 

[fairfax]

Great TR and pictures! I'm looking forward to more!

 

[TotallyAngelic]

HI
This is a great trip report! fantastic pictures! I am so sorry that you were troubled with all that sea-sickness! I am a bit worried about that myself for next year. I will have to take every remedy known to man with me just in case!

 

[dizzi]

Well, It was finally the day.........The day i coudl get off the boat!

WOOHOO i could hardly wait!!!!!

I woke up early early before the sun was up and went to get some coffee and sat on the VERANDAH...........

I was so happy that we were going to be able to be on land for awhile, I wanted us to be up and ready for the day as soon as possible our time to meet for our 2 flags tour was 8;30 so i had a litle quiet time on the VERANDAH before i had to wake the kids..............and then it happened,

I know for some of you this will be silly.....................................
But for me this was the most awesome event of the cruise..........

I saw it for the first time ever.................................................
REMEMBER I am a FIRST TIME CRUISER......................................

i saw an island.....................................................................
and then a mountain coming up out of the water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was amazing to me..............................................................
The beauty i had only seen in books and on tv right there in front of my eyes, real time!

The majesty of the sea, meeting right up with those huge mountains, like God hand just plopped a mound of dirt right down in the middle of the water.

i cried like a baby, and i do mean cried.tears flowing could hardly breath crying.........

Those little houses on the side of the mountains, were real peoples houses living so differently than we live.............................

I know i know.I am weird and i am a freak............i cried when i saw the EEIFEL TOWER TOO!

The vastness of our world amazes me.........

And it was just me on the verandah looking at the world that we take for granted and i was humbled!
And i was blessed and i was appreciative that i was able to see this for myself.

yes call me weird i am ready for the comments. NO it wasnt Mickey kissing my Dd it wasnt dancing with my DS it was these pictures that made it all worth it for me!!!!

 

[Disney owl]

thanks for sharing

 

[Disneygrl36]

Great Lynn!!!!!!!!! I am glad you shared that with us. It is a beautiful sight when you see the islands.........I don't think you are weird at all. I didn't cry til the end of the cruise, but man did I make up for it that night.

 

[LovableGluttons]

Well, I must be weird too then! I cry over that stuff too!

When we were in Hawaii in Sept 2006, seeing Diamondhead made me cry.

Oh and the chickens on Kauai, Tunnels Beach, sunsets, all of it.

I think the realization of how truly blessed my life is hits me during times like those.

I am accustomed to working so hard, sleeping so little, that vacations mean the world to me.
Plus, I figure I'm sneaking special memories into my children's heads. Ssshhh! Don't tell them!
I want them to grow up and feel fortunate about their childhoods so little things don't bother them as much. Make sense?

(((hugs)))) Lynn

 

[dizzi]

yes that is exactly how i feel!!!!

 

[Babs417]

I dont think your weird either Lynn. Great reporting
