[disgal1]

just finished posting what I could, don't have a scanner for the 4 disposable underwater pictures I took, most of those were coz.

Can;t find the formal night pictures, think I must have lost that roll of 35 mm somewhere, we didn't buy any either

the after cruise let down is always bad for me. We have spent 2 years waiting for the cruise and soooo much time on these boards getting to know people and learning tips and now reality sets in.

I enjoy seeing everyone else's pictures here--if I knew how to post a link to ours i would--

It was a white tote bag, one per stateroom. No pins or lanyards.

I know what you mean....the only thing that keeps me from getting blue is planning the next one!!

June 08 4 day bahama for niece graduation...

then an 11 day southern in either sept 08 with Disney or......march with Royal Caribbean ...I seem to be the only one that doesn't worry about hurricanes, but DH is standing firm on not going in sept.

Why can't Disney send just 1 in april to the Southern Caribbean....

Hey everyone. I was just dealing with work and thought I would check the boards . I see that we have moved to page 2 so I had to fix that. I agree with BethA on the Post Disney Blues (PDB). We booked our cruise 2 years ago and I slowly worked on getting ready for it and now that it is gone I feel that I have nothing to do. We also rebooked before we left but I am afraid that if we don't have the same group going it won't be as much fun. When people ask me what was the best part about the cruise I always say hanging out with the crew from the DisBoards. This was the first time our kids weren't hanging on us and we had some adult time . Now if they would just do that at home.

I'm a DCL snob!!! and I am spoiled cause it's the only place we want to go, all 3 of us!!!

I have been adamant about not cruising again, after cruise 1, after cruise 2 after cruise 3 and before cruise 4.

Hmmmmmm, I can not seem to break my habit!! Thinking about an Eastern in mid June 2008. We'll have to see!!!!

To be honest, even though the cruise seems expensive, when I tried to find a vacation that was similiar-other lines, all-inclusive resorts, all the basic quotes were the same as a DCL 7 night. Plus, some would be more with added airfare. Even just going some place really cool gets expensive when you add in activities and food and more food.

Page 2 Oh NO NO. Ok so for all you experienced travelers- we are booked for March 31,2006 Eastern but would love to do the douple dip again in 2008. What would you all reccomend ?
Has anyone done both to give me a comparison? And dont say do both cruises I dont think we could swing that. Or could we???HMMM Anyone else interested in either of those cruises? I agree w/ Susan meeting the Disers was a great part. If we did the douple dip again I'd choose the same week again it was nice way to start off summer and am petrified of hurricanes later in the season.

Hey everyone- Did anyone get a postcard about a survey concerning our cruise? I did. I just finished it. It was a little more detailed than the one we fill out onboard. You were able to explain yourself a little more in this one.

Personally, I loved going to Castaway Cay twice, but I did not like the Mexican ports. I have always gone on the Eastern to St. Maarten and St. Thomas. I liked those ports 100 times better than Costa Maya and Cozumel. I would go to Castaway Cay only once, instead of twice, as long as we went to the Eastern port instead of the Western ones. I also like the extra day at sea on the Eastern. Teri

Teri-I did get the postcard but havent answered yet. Why didnt you like the Mexican ports. I liked them but then again I have no comparison. Why do you prefer the Eastern?

 

[BethA]

we didn't get one---

 

[1happyfam]

Beth I didnt forget about the picture,I just havent had Joe send it yet-sorry.
Susan and Carole- I have a cute one of the girls at the beach if either of you would like it pm me with e-mail address' to send it.
Hope everyone is good, if you remember from before the trip, I had health scare well I am still going for tests,next one is this Monday hoping to get all answers soon. Keep me in prayers!!

 

[carole88]

LeeAnne - I would love to get a copy of the picture. I will send you a pm with my email. Tessa would also like to email Maria. Talk to you soon!

 

[SuJo]

We didn't get a post card either. You would think with all the times we have been to Disney and the cruise they would want to find out our opinion.

1happyfam - I will send you my email and would love to get the pictures. Here is some for your tests tomorrow, I hope everything turns out OK.

Carole88 - Tell Tesse that Katherine has not forgotten her, she is just really busy with camp. I took their braids out tonight, I guess the vacation is officially over and done. I still have mine in and I am going to keep them until the depression is gone (I might still have them in on the 2008 trip )

Susan

 

[1happyfam]

Thanks for all the good wishes. I'll let you know when I know anything.

Susan and Carole-I'll have Joe E-mail the pics since I dont know how.

Susan what 2008 are you doing?

 

[BethA]

Lee Anne,
Hope everything turns out okay.

I am still in denial that the cruise is over!!!!
Our wiater, Romeo, told us he had worked on a cruise that went around the world. Most guests were on for about 130 days!! Who wants to go around the world on the Magic with me? I'll have to study up on how to take over a ship--Does that involve seeing the POC movie repeatedly?

I didn't get one either......

We liked the Eastern ports much better than CM and Coz. Although I think we got cheated with the amount of time in Coz. And the tendering while not horrible, was not exactly hopping off the ship and walking down the pier. We always like to get cleaned up after our activity and then go shopping. We had no desire to go back to the ship, eat, get cleaned up and then go back on the tenders. We simply didn't have enough time.

Perhaps Coz would be better to visit when the piers are fixed and we don't have to leave early...maybe.

We are definitely looking into an Eastern 2008 in mid to late June. We could do a DD reunion!!!! It might not be a dd, but it would be fun knowing lots of people ahead of time even better!!!

 

[1happyfam]

So far all reports point to a benign tumor in the milk duct I will have it removed the end of Aug b/c the doc is on vaca prior to that. So thanks for the prayers and keep them up!!

Beth-I'm definitely having post cruise blues- it was nice to start summer that way but now no trip to look foward to. I totally understand now how people do so many Dis cruises. I can't wait to decide on our next.

 

[BethA]

We usually do a small trip at the end of July/early August using our DVC points, but none this year with college starting Aug18th--then i'll be double depressed!!

Also knowing the Magic will be in Europe next year makes next year's vacation up in the air. We do have cabins booked on a European sailing, but I think without winning the lottery we will stat here and cruise---gasp--RCL.

Glad things are okay LeeAnne.

 

[musicgirl]

Lee Anne, pixie dust for you!

Well, how about it folks, who is up to planning for an Eastern in mid to late June 2008????

Jillpie and I are ready to go!!!! Darn, why didn't I just book a cruise so I could get the on board credit?????? I've done it everytime!!! I swear I'm not going to cruise again, I get home and a month later, I can't wait for the dates to come out so I can book!!!!!!

 

[BethA]

For the first time I got DCL mail today--no survey, but did get the shoreside survival kit.
