[cakesnjammom]

Ursala- THANK YOU so much for posting dh's video! He has been dying to see it.

Lori- Sorry your girls are sick! And yes we bought the CD too. Feel so guilty for spending the money but we just could not pick!

Gretchen- Sending HUGS and pixie dust your way. You are so sweet and do not deserve any stress...I hope your dd have a change of heart. Belle and Sophie are adorable.

Lizzy's Mom is still on the Magic...they HAD to add a B2B because her dd had an ear infection too bad to travel home. Pros and cons to this one...I hope her dd is feeling better everyday.

We SO enjoyed meeting everyone we got to meet. Wish we would have met the whole gang...I swear time SPEEDS up on the MAGIC!

I just finished watching the Queen Puppet video and halfway through I was OMG! thats Heather! He is my sister's friend and was in our travelling party. She was vacationing without her family and she's a pretty hot ticket. She was definitely out to have some fun on the cruise.

Yes I too gained about 5 lbs. I had been doing lots of walking and drinking of water until about halfway through the trip, then I threw my diet overboard. I drank lots of those calories, but too much food and snacking was involved too. I accept responsibility for my actions and loved every minute of it.

Is everyone feeling as depressed and homesick as I am??? I can't stand it! I want to be back there so bad... the week went to dang fast! I'll get my pics uploaded soon and will let you know the link when I do! Hey Ken, what was Terry's twitter link again?

during the show they asked her what her favorite smell was and she said rasberry vodka and the hypnotist told her everytime he snapped she would smell it greater and greater with each snap...it was funny...she asked him if he had a drink for her after so many snaps.

Was she alone, or with her DH? She looked like someone we were in the hot tub one afternoon. She told her her kids were at home and she and Dh were on their honeymoon. Also that her son was autistic.

We had a fantastic time at Rocking D Bar and enjoyed BeyondKen performing a great Karaoke song.

Magical Tink, you made my day. I am suffering tremendous Disney withdrawal, and am looking for an anti-dote.

Terry is "Tcdisney" on Twitter.

Hi all, It was so great to meet you all, we had a smooth trip back to Spain. I loved all the FE gifts we got, thanks so much. Now, look at my signature!! We rebooked while on board and will be on the 10 night Mediterranean cruise that sets sail on September 8th , the 20% discount plus $400 offer was SO tempting

Looking forward to seeing some of the pictures you folks took during our trip, I will post some of my pictures as soon as I can.

More knome pictures up in the 2009 cruise album plus some over in our Epcot album. Went to F&W yesterday and he went along also.

Now what you've all been waiting for. JJ's wonderful Queen-puppet experience.
plus alittle "cookie" at the end.

I was so thrilled to see this. I'm the lady in the black sleevless evening gown all the way to the left in the video. I've heard I did a mead air guitar that night and would love to see the entire show. It was a hoot! If anyone has any video of the family night 8:30 show I'd love to see that one! My daughter made for an awsome Hannah Montana! Not to mention I think she's still finding little napkins and hording them.

Paige, just a side note to let you know I got my cookies (and then some) when I got home. I'm sure that was TMI for many.

I'm already starting to plan the next trip.

Enchanted - my husband and I talked to you later in the week. It was funny to hear that you didn't even know your hair could bounce like that. Checking for more video now.

 

[disneyfinatics]

Gretchen, I'm so sorry about your family issues. I will keep you in my prayers.
Does anyone know of a way to get one of the Cozumel pins? They ran out on the ship. I wish I there had been more time to get to know you guys on board.

Heather was solo on this trip, she has a workaholic Dh and 1 son, so you may have been in the hottub with someone else. I sent the video link to her, we'll see if she remembers any of it

Weird thing for me is that the week seemed to go by slowly. I did a lot of stuff- Martini, tequila and Congnac tastings, Surrogates movie, Palo for Brunch, Dinner AND high tea, excursions at most ports. I have no idea how I got it all in.

the things I missed... Soft serve ice cream, Paninis/Wraps from Goofy's, getting a mickey bar. Oh well, next time

We made it back safe and sound; our luggage was delayed, but hey Southwest gave us a $50 voucher to come by and pick up the bags the next day. Tony said that was no brainer cuz after church we were going to Costco (his favorite place in the world aside from Disney) to fill up the car and get a few things. I'm already using the voucher to fly down to D-Land for a birthday party in November.

Thank you one and all for the wonderful FE gifts. It was so fun. I wish we could have met more people, but sounds like I'm not alone on that one.

Lori--Hope the girls are feeling better. I still have my throat thing going on. I will always remember the iphone hijacking. Hee hee.

Shelly--I will keep a look out for Pluto pins for you. PM me with your e-mail addy.

Jan--I am so glad I got to see you on Friday at the pool. I saw you so much on the first day and then nothing all week; go figure and we were right down the hall.

Kim--I met you once real quick. We are on the TA as well so see you over on that thread!!

Holly and Steven--Miss you tons already. Good luck with the job hunts. See ya on FB.

Paige--I don't think I would recogize your husband without his mouse ears on.

Hi Sandy, it was so great to meet you. Thanks so much for the pins for the girls, they really liked them. Unfortunately, Cassidy is still not feeling better,whatever she has it is really taking a lot out of her. I will have to look for you on FB. Let me know next time you are in WDW, maybe my iphone plot can be successful the next time. LOL

Enchanted: DH and I spoke to you after your "performance"; that was a great guitar solo! It seemed like it was very out of character for you too. You mentioned your daughter was hypnotized previously but we did not see that. I think we did spend a few minutes talking to her in line getting photographed with Capt Jack Sparrow then at the Rocking D...she seemed to have a really good time.
Beyond Ken, Dave and Ian: sure wished we had met to plan some drinks together. I do regret not meeting all the great people posting and wish I knew a better way to get together. The planned meets just did not work with our schedule.
Still cruising in my mind even though temps have fallen and jackets have to come out of closet. Arg!!!

 

[texasbloke]

Just got back from our vacation last night at 10:30 pm.

We really enjoyed our week at WDW before the cruise. We had good weather and no long lines.

We were very glad we did the parks before the cruise. We were wiped out when we got on the cruise.

My DS had a bad cough and cold the day we got on the cruise. They had us got to a room a the terminal that no one else was in, so the doctor could check him out. After about 40 minutes of waiting, we finally got clearance to board the ship. With all that excitement I forgot to find out about upgrading, I was just glad we got to get on the ship.

My DH got the head cold on the cruise too. Then my DD got it then I got it.

We enjoyed the cruise, but it seems there are just not enough hours in the day, to do everything. We really enjoyed meeting everyone we got a chance to meet. We did not make it to any of the meets, because our schedule was busier than planned.

The kids loved the kids clubs. And thanks to everyone for the FE gifts, they were great. My kids loved seeing what was in their pockets each day.

Hannahguad- I will post some of our Gnome pictures when I get a chance, my DS loved that challenge.

When we got off the boat Saturday, we headed to CBR for 2 nights, when we went to check in we had been informed that we had been upgraded to GF! We got really spoiled.

Welcome home and wish everybody a great day!

So, apparently a week in the Caribbean thinned my blood! We had a 30 degree temperature drop overnight and I'm FREEZING!!! I used to love the fall weather, but I think I got a bit spoiled! Wishing everyone warm, Caribbean memories!

I posted some pictures on the yahoo groups site. I wanted to post more on flickr, but I don't have a premium account so I'm out of space. Someone going on the Oct. 10 cruise has offered to look for my Cozumel pin for me. I now know to buy them on the first day. I'm hoping we can save up to cruise on one of the new ships when they come out. Does anyone know if there's another photo hosting site where you can upload more than 100 mb a month? I had thought about doing a trip report, but it would take forever w/ all the pictures I have.
How's everyone feeling? I'm hoping better.
