Hi Bob and Lee,

We like Whispering Canyon too, as well as Boma for breakfast, at the AKL, at DD we love Planet Hollywood and the one that looks like a boat. Great seafood! We also like O'hana at the Poly and Olivia's at Old Key West.

The food court at Port Orleans is really good. I love their philly cheese steak sandwiches, and Eric loves their ribs. Of course, beignets are the yummiest dessert!

Off property, we love Joe's crab shack and Macaroni grill, they're just up Apopka-Vineland from DTD and easy to get to. We also go to the chain stores, but Cracker Barrel is one of our favorites there!

hope that helps!

the one that looks like a boat.

Fulton's!!!! Oh yeah, wonderful food!

Joe's Crab Shack and Cracker Barrel are awesome in any state!!! I won a Tshirt at the one outside WDW, though! It has a special place in my heart!!!

Off to work, first day of spring with 10 inches of snow!! Welcome to Wonderful Wyoming!!!

Got a question for all of you.....
What is your favorite place to eat at WDW area? Trying to get ideas for vacation.

Have a great week!

Hi Bob! Now that we're back , we want to go again... especially with the 85 degree weather!

Joe + I love Jiko and Boma. This trip we ate at Living Seas and The Brown Derby, both were wonderful. Artist Point is great too. We took the Keys of the Kingdom MK Tour and had lunch at the Harbor House. Our sandwiches were good. Of course, in EPCOT there's the Cheddar Cheese Soup in Canada! Downtown there's The Earl of Sandwich. Joe wants to try the Noodle Station in MK the next time we go down.

Gee, it sounds like all we do at WDW is eat!

Have a GREAT TRIP!

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE MAGIC
STAYS ON THE MAGIC....

Let's see.............where is that Gloria Gaynor pic when I need it???????????

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

WE'RE HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​

We had such a blast on our cruise with Leslie & Joe.....

First...who would have "thunk" that booking late would get us rooms side by side....as Scott would say....TOO KEWL

The weather was incredible...every day sunshine and high 80's....and I actually have the sunburn to prove that I was in the Quiet Cove pool and Serenity Bay.....not to mention the sunburn on the tops of my feet from walking on the beach at Serenity Bay (ouch!!)....we arrived home tonight to 28ºF

It was sooooo much fun to be recognized by staff and crew as being Panama Canal cruisers...but it was very strange to walk down the hall or look to the next table in the dining room and NOT see "lanyard people"

For anyone cruising on the Magic in the near future.....you will LOVE the changes....the new couples villas at the spa are so luxurious.....and the new workout area is super KEWL....all the treadmills face the windows and they all have their own TV's....and yes Kelli...."Mr. Whiteshirt" was there and yes...he remembered me....scary!!!!!

The Dive-in theatre (or Dumbotron, as some call it)....is the best....DCL played Pirates in the Caribbean on it after the Pirates party and I thought how much fun it would have been to have had the "big" screen on the Panama Canal cruise....

The food was incredible.......I think the shows were too but we didn't see any of them because we were too busy relaxing by the pool!!!!!

Let's see...what am I forgetting to tell you guys??????? oh yeah...some embarrassing stories...but as Leslie says.....

WHAT HAPPENS ON THE MAGIC....STAYS ON THE MAGIC!!!!!

Welcome back. Surely there's something you can share with us.

Welcome back. Surely there's something you can share with us.

Welllllllll maybe.......I'm uploading my pictures now.....I'll see if there is ANYTHING I can post!!!!!!!

P.S. Bob....I heard Pluto was sending postcards from Castaway Cay to some of his pals and I happened to hear that there was a postcard whose destination was somewhere in Indiana...

Hi Everyone!

Thought you might like to see what we've been busy with and I've been complaining about for the past 7 months! We're finally done! Hooray!
The production photos are up on the www.proactionphoto.com and the password is laguna. My DD is the Little Mermaid Sister in the red costume w/ a tiara and son is a clownfish (farthest on the right of the front page photo).

Enjoy!

Kendra

ps. International Housewares show in Chicago was amazing too! My feet hurt for days after all the walking. Nothing really too unique or new that caught my eye though. Maybe just Rocco from "The Restaraunt" selling his new pots and pans and 5 spice assortment.

 

[cotomom]

This looks like it maybe an intresting Tv show

You think? I know all too well about this show........... These are the kinds of gals I run into at my kids' school, grocery store, mall, etc. I live in their community! But I assure you, I am the 'white trash' of the area!

I hope yours makes it ... I had one sent to Tippy From his Mom and Dad (like it was from the may repo ) and it did not make it either... and I know this person mailed it..

Hello everyone!
I have kind of fallen off of the planet after working nights! I have finally reoriented myself to sleeping at night and I am finally getting everything together.

I am getting excited for DCL to announce their new plans for 2007 tomorrow. I tried getting my sister to go to Epcot tomorrow to hear the announcement, but currently they only have one car- and her husband needs it for work. However, I am going to make her watch the local TV stations around the time of the announcement and make her call me if there is any news. I'm super excited...I feel like a little kid.


I completed my first outside run yesterday- which was a 5K run/walk in Chicago. I did okay and met my goal. I am looking forward for it to get warmer here so I can do more running outside. I should actually say walking- as I only run part of the time. I met some people from the arthritis foundation that did the WDW half marathon this past January- it was fun to talk to them. Has anyone other than me signed up? I think Ken and Shari have, right? Anyone else?

Currently I am on "spring break" which translates into house cleaning after finals. I start school again next Monday with physiology and palliative care. Physiology will be really hard and I am not looking forward to it as I perceive this as the class that will kill my GPA.




Kendra- you pictures were really cute! No wonder you have been so busy!

Elaine- I missed all of your posts while you were gone. I was really hoping that we would hear more from you guys. Looking forward to the pictures!

Renae- My sis went to the ward on Sunday and didn't see you in RS- were you there?

Kelli- I was up in Burlington a lot this past weekend and even stayed in Waterford. Robb is playing in the band for the Catholic HS production of West Side Story that will be starting this weekend. I kept on thinking of Etta and you. Robb and I will be having dinner in Burlington tomorrow night as he has a rehearsal and I have a meeting at Aurora at 6pm.

Scott- Did you start back at work with light duty?

Steve- MORE BABY PICTURES!


TTFN!

Elaine......... behave yourself... I have bathing suit photos........

Hey Celeste.. you didn't hear from us because Joe and Mom banned us from getting the internet package... they figured we'd be online constantly... and they are probably right... the internet cafe and Cove Cafe stations were almost always empty. We lucked out and found a mexican internet place in Costa Maya... and snuck in there to post. Too bad most of the computers were not working and the foreign keyboard freaked us out!!
I'm sure Elaine will give a nice trip report... I stopped writing in my book sometime during day 2..... I was too busy drinking flammable beverages........
The Dumbotron is fabulous... they changed the Pirate Deck party a bit too because of it and it's great. New bandannas!!! The spa villas are incredible... but $$$$$$$$$ Great offer on first day during the tour though if you're wanting to try them. New fitness area is very very nice... although I doubt the officers on the bridge enjoy the noise overhead. I actually pedaled some miles a few days before retiring to the rainforest room. Rainforest Room 6 out of the 7 days! Now THAT'S a relaxing cruise!!!

Kendra- WOW that looks like a great show and a major production! Very cute pics!!

 

[Mickey&JoshNut]

Elaine......... behave yourself... I have bathing suit photos........

uh oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Scott H]

Georgie, we did the Noodle Station and it was rather good, portions were really big, well to me they were. Lynn and I had a tough time sharing.

Elaine, yes Way KEWL having rooms next door. Remember what stays with lanyard people , well you get the idea. It was great to hear about you all being remembered by the crew. Yes photos please.

Kendra , thanks for sharing.

Celeste, yep back to work, they are being great, I have plenty to do so am not bored at all. Did my first Phys Therapy today, passive and it really felt good to get out of the sling and swath. If ya need help with the supraspinatus muscle stuff for physiologypart let me know. LOL . Maybe that is more anatomy, but I am learning how that puppy works.

 

[Scott H]

I was too busy drinking flammable beverages.......

Leslie that sounds dangerous to me.

 

[auntrenae]

Does anybody know what time the announcement will be made tomorrow??????
