Hated missing CC, but a day with Disney is always better than a day at work! We had a blast! We loved meeting all of you and are still overwhelmed at the generosity and creativity in the FE gifts - thank you all so much!!!! We rebooked for 9/25 on the Dream and are hoping that is when my fall break is next year. I will probably post some pictures on the Facebook site tomorrow. Must get things ready for work tomorrow.

Bill and I are still moping around the house because we are back to reality!

I ditto everyone...it was soooooo GREAT meeting all of you! I'm just now really doing through some of the FE gifts (wanted to save them just as got them so my daughter's could see everyone's creativity!). They are sooo awesome! Bill kept teasing me about doing the FE exchange but HE was the one RUNNING down to the room to see what we got! We were both thrilled with EVERYTHING!

We are cruising on the Dream in April (7th thru the 10th) for Spring Break. Come one...come all!!!!!!

A big congrats to Kamy, Steve, Mimi & Mack for winning BINGO!!! Sooo cool! You guys are such a hoot!

If you are ever in Indy for a race or whatever else...feel free to come see us!

Sadly...back to the daily grind of work and teenagers!

Adios...

In my defense (in case video is later streamed) it was the first time I had ever played, and the machine did not switch to BINGO until the dude was about to pull the next number. We would have missed out if that had happened. I was very excited - to say the least.

Don, we thoroughly enjoyed you and your lovely wife! We were not booking but then when we won Bingo, we decided to put the deposit down - hoping it isn't a dummy date but the real thing! I'm all for keeping in touch. I already posted on the thread for that cruise too! I'll start saving the pixie dust after I send some to Kamy for her dog - he is at the emergency vet right now.

Well everyone, it is cold and rainy in PA. Even though we didn't hit CC, I am grateful for the new friends I made. I am amazed at the creativity of many of you with the FE gifts, they were amazing. I think that was one of my kids favorite things....they would run off the elevator and swing the corner to look for gifts in the "hanging thing" as they called it.

We did not re-book as I need to say....we were just not wowed by the ship. I don't think the CC issue had anything to do with it. We both felt it was quite comparable to both the RC and Carnival cruise we did in the past. I am shocked I am saying this since, I am such a Disney girl. Anyway, for the $$$, we just didn't think it was worth it. Looking at doing the Oasis of the Seas next year. I would do Disney with a good sale if that ever happens and that would be just do to the Dis! My oldest LOVED the teen club and the freedom he got.

We went to the Hard Rock prior to cruise. We scored a double upgrade....kids suite with club access. The kids suite was an error, I believe, as the manager told me we were upgraded to club and then I inquired if the room would hold 5 like the one I reserved....he went...UUHHMMM, let me see...thus the kids suite. Club was nice, we took soda's with us to the park versus buying there (I can't believe that they allow this however, the club lady told us to take them along). Harry Potter was packed. My oldest went on the new ride, I did not for fear of motion sickness. Butterbeer rocked!!!

After cruise, checked in for 3 days at AKV. Got a great 1 bedroom on the sunset savannah. 4th floor, close to the lobby (for the life of me, I cant remember the room number). Giraffe's, zebra's and birds were right outside. It was fascinating. On the 1st, my husband was on tram to get car as I and the rest of the family took boat to Wilderness lodge for dinner plans. When he showed up at WL, he had 7 tix to the halloween party. 7....I was psyched. We were a party of 8, as we met friends at Disney, so we split the price of one ticket. Kids loved it however; on way home, we got caught speeding. Police officer gave us a warning ticket.....Oh, and my daughter peed on Ken's foot about 5 seconds after saying she needed to go to the bathroom. I am not making any of this up......Ken said he was going to tell officer the entire story to help get out of ticket however; it was not necessary.

On Sunday, as we were leaving, we saw some Dis'ers at AKV. Can't remember screen name however; they are from Michigan and on a 3 week vacation!! Venice, cruise and AKV. They were great.....it was so cool to feel like we knew someone while away.

Anyway....back to reality. It was great meeting you all, thanks again for the amazing gifts!

We had a great time meeting all of you, and we all loved the FE gifts, thank you. The wife and I decided to rebook for the 9/25/2011 Disney Dream. Can anyone say AQUA DUCK.. Hope everyone made it home safe. The Goofy Bunch

Hey everyone! Just a quick note to say hello! Thanks to everyone for all the great FE gifts. Sorry we couldn't deliver our things the way we had planned. When I hurt my leg, it put me out of commission one of the nights. It is still sore but I am hoping to avoid going to the doctor!
We rebooked for 9/25/11 and are really excited!
Overall, loved the cruise and time with friends and meeting new people. Hated missing CC...I just got spoiled having never missed it on 9 previous cruises I guess.
Gotta run for now, gonna go give my sick doggy some meds and cuddle with him!

Thanks again and loved meeting you guys!

 

[tikimimi]

Yay! We have quite a few people from this cruise on the 9/25 next year! C'mon Bill and TJ!

Enjoyed meeting you but next time we'll have to find adjacent seats at the pool so we can talk more. I had 5 pages left in my book when we got home so I finished it before going to bed.

Looking forward to next year and to staying in touch on the new thread - I have to go find that new thread....

It was really nice meeting you guys. Thanks for the wonderful FE gifts.We got home today,and first thing my girls ask for were the gifts they received from their new friends,lol.
I hope Jen and Webmeister had better luck than us getting on CC since they are doing the B2B.

Hey guys! Yes we finally got to Castaway Cay but Victoria was sick so we only were out for about 30 minutes. It is really nice and I hope to see more of it when I go back. Not sure when that will be but I have 2 cruises booked which I will use as dummy cruises until I know the best time of year I can leave my business. It was so much fun meeting you all! Husurdady....dear, I didnt have your room number and I never saw you again on the boat!!

We had a similar issue on the second ofour B2B cruise when we upgraded. It was challenging to get our new room# out to the FE group and their wireless internet is so slow it is almost non-existent.

I wonder if the kind folks at DCL would start coordinating with Dis'ers to maintain an FE list. Maybe not something in their computer, but maybe just be the 'keepers of the list' at the front desk.
Then, if an FE participant needed a copy of the list they could just provide their room# and after validating that their room is a participant, they could get the list from them. That way, all of the room #s would always be up to date.

Just a thought....

No, can't say AQUA DUCK real fast..........But, I can say WHITE HONDA VAN,w/ a window sticker. You guys made it home OK? with no Love bug???? I think we should name the cruise in 9/25/11 the Breezin' To The Bahama's PART TWO, with you guys joining on, I think their is four familys going now.Did you guys go to that page and join in yet? Did you guys stop at Disney on the way home.We stopped there one day and flew home Friday.
