I wanted to crawl under the table, but Jesse really ate it up. what is really funny is that there was a couple at the table with us that we had never seen before and then ran into them later in the cruise and THEN we stayed at the Boardwalk for a couple days and ran into them at the Big River Grille.

We had a great time too! DS loved all his gifts. When he got the Goofy, he looked at me and asked what I told all of you about him! It did take us a minute to figure out what the glow sticks were. At first we thought they were some kind of candy but I then I figured it out. We missed most of the pirate party because we didn't finish dinner until 10:30! Our servers were wonderful but very slow that night. We finally had to ask them to stop doing puzzles with the kids and serve dessert so we could get out of there.

Oh and I loved Clayton too! He is hilarious! I was actually in the shower one afternoon when he came on the intercom and I did the dance right there in the shower, just like he said.

Well, back to the real world. At least my laundry is finally done!

Luv2boys, Just asked DH, he was your DH's dive buddy for the second dive. Apparently, my DH wanted to buddy with him for the first dive, but got someone else (who apparently ran out of air during the dive!), but got to dive with him on the second one! Too bad we didn't get to meet too!

We got back late Saturday night. We stayed at the Beach Club Villas for a few days after the cruise.

Thanks so much to misseualie for organizing the gift exchange. We had so much fun putting the bags together and hope everyone enjoyed getting them. Unfortunately, the only family I got to meet was VegasPixie, but we had fun talking to them.

We also booked another cruise while onboard...just barely...we literally were walking through the Atrium on our way off the ship, when DJ said..."Let's go talk to them about another cruise." We ended up picking a "dummy" date in December 2009 as a place holder. It will most likely be sometime in the spring of 2010, but we get to keep all of the incentives.

Thanks for cruising with us!! Now to really start planning for our October WDW trip!!

It was great to meet you (and keep bumping into you) too! And thanks to everyone for the wonderful gifts! My boys loved them, and I loved visiting the different parts of the ship to deliver ours.

We also picked a "dummy" cruise at the last minute, like about 10 minutes before midnight on Wednesday night after we finished packing and all. I'd love to believe we could do it (a 7-night Western Carribean next August) but we more likely will move it to 2010. We really want to spend 2 weeks at WDW next year (the most time we've ever spent was 4 days).

I was sooooo bummed because we didn't get a Double Dip pin! I didn't want to make any purchases on CC until the end of the day when we were leaving; unfortunately they were sold out!! (Although the gal in the shop actually told me that there were "no more" of those pins, as in EVER, and told me I needed to go to Ebay to purchase one; that seemed kind of strange to me since the DD itinerary just got started for the summer. Oh well. )

Toy Story was fun; I actually liked Disney Dreams a little better (it was my first time seeing it, as we skipped it our last cruise).

After the cruise we were at AKV for 2 nights, which was spectacular (our first visit)! We got to do the Hoop-De-Doo Review, Star Wars Weekends, and my very favorite, EPCOT! And we also got to ride Midway Mania (100 minute wait, but nobody minded, I think we needed the rest)! We got home late Saturday night but I'm just now re-adjusted back to PST!

In all, it was an amazing vacation! I cannot wait to board another Disney ship again! Thank YOU ALL for being part of making the cruise so special!

It was great to meet you (and keep bumping into you) too! And thanks t2 o everyone for the wonderful gifts! My boys loved them, and I loved visiting the different parts of the ship to deliver ours.

I was going to tell you that we saw you and family again at EPCOT that weekend...on Saturday, I think. We were having lunch at Morocco and saw you guys walk by. Hope you had as much fun as we did. The World Showcase is one of our favorite places to wander.

Oh well.

I have an extra DD pin that I would love to share with you. Just send me a PM with a snail mail address and I'll get it out to you. I actually got off the ship early on Wednesday morning with that specific mission in mind. We had a 9:30 brunch at Palo, so I waited in line to be one of the first off so I could run to the shop, get a few pins, mail my postcards and get back for brunch. Kinda crazy, but it was fun.

How funny that you saw us at EPCOT! Back on the ship after we kept bumping into you my husband was like, I hope they don't think we're following them or something! Yes, we had a great time at EPCOT, and I was so glad we went to EPCOT because our original plan was to go to Animal Kingdom but the kids, to my surprise, insisted on EPCOT.

Hi Everyone!
We just got home last night, spent 9 nights in Orlando after the cruise. I hope all of you had as great a time as we did on the cruise...sounds like you did!
Shane and Jenna wanted me to thank all of you for the gifts, they really had a great time with that and they had a lot of fun helping me deliver ours.
Sorry we didn't get to meet up with everyone, we had some shuttle issues getting to the port, and didn't get there when we had hoped.

Hey!!

We just got back today. We did a back to back. We really appreciated the gifts for the kids and they enjoyed finding goodies in our bag.

I was rather peeved about Pirate night being on the second night instead of the third night, but other than that, had a great cruise!!!

So, when anyone hears "It's not unusual" are they going to do the Happy Dance!!!

HA! A few times when we were stuck in a slow moving attraction line we would break out into the "Happy Dance" and laugh at the reactions of the folks around us.

What was your favorite part of your trip?
My kids said it was snorkeling at Castaway Cay, but my favorite was getting up before the rest, getting a cup of coffee and sitting on the deck and watching the sun rise every morning.

Thanks again everyone for making our cruise so much fun.

AHHH! the juggler's show at Wavebands...the adults only...that was My Jesse with the stupid blue wig saying "Your'e the Man" and of course that was me beside him.

That was you???!!

How funny and what a small world....

 

[luv2boys]

yep, that was us...he had the blue wig and I had the red face !!!
