I was just looking over my work schedule and I realized that I don't have a single day off between now and when we leave. I guess it will make the time go by faster.

8 DAYS!!!

Only 8 days!! How unbelievably exciting!!

I really can't wait for you to get back and write the TR. I'm so anxious to read one about a cruise!

Eek on the no days off, but like you said - hopefully it'll make the time fly.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

So I want some opinions on how I should go about my TR when I get back from the trip. I have three options:

1) Traditional TR where I start from the beginning and go in chronological order. I would have the WDW TR and the cruise TR all in one thread here on the WDW TR boards.

2) Still go in chronological order but have separate threads, one here on the WDW boards and the cruise TR over on the cruise TR boards

3) Have the WDW TR and the cruise TR going on at the same time, each with its own thread on the respective boards.

The only reason I am thinking of doing the cruise TR right away is that our sailing is only the second one to go to Tortola and there are a lot of people on future sailings who are looking for feedback and it does not seem that anybody from the first sailing is doing a TR and I don't think anybody from my sailing group is doing one either.

So what do you all think? How would you all like to see it done? Would it be too chaotic/confusing for my readers to be reading the two reports at the same time?

My suggestion would be to do your main TR here on the TR board including the cruise. And also do just a cruise TR on the cruise board that you can start at the same time. Then you can just include that TR in your main TR. Does that make sense?

That way people on the main TR board can read your trip from start to finish including the cruise, but those on the cruise board don't have to wait and can start reading about your cruise right away.

Good idea!

Yes...or you can do your TR here and copy the cruise section on the cruise thread

 

[MaryAz]

I agree. I want to read BOTH reports as many here probably do. Cruise board may just want the cruise part....

 

[englishrose47]

Sounds good to me !! Lessa will have some pix of me maybe long before I figure out how to post them!!!

No worries, I am going to do what Car suggested and write my whole TR here in chronological order and include WDW and the cruise but I am also going to start a cruise only report on the cruise boards as soon as I get back so that future Tortola sailings can get my feedback. So basically if you want a sneak peek at the cruise you can hunt me down on the cruise boards but if you want to wait it will also get posted here but not until the WDW portion is complete. Make sense?

Rosie, I will definitely have pictures of you posted very soon after I get back as we are meeting the first day!

Can't wait to read both reports!!

I can't wait to read the TR. I don't care how you do it. Do what is easiest for you and don't get burnt out. It's a lot of work to do just one.

May 21st - Epcot

Our second Epcot day. Usually I would not schedule two full days at Epcot but with the Flower and Garden Festival going on I want to make sure that we don't miss anything. The day will be spent fitting in whatever we didn't get done earlier in the week and undoubtedly I will spend the majority of my time taking pictures.

We are planning on one of our meals being at Beaches and Cream, yum yum! I am looking forward to this as their burgers are delicious and I have been dying to try the No Way Jose sundae.

I was also toying with the idea of a water park this day if we end up not going to Epcot or maybe doing a halfday at the water park and then over to Epcot. We'll just see where the day takes us. Dinner will most likely be off-property.

Off to bed early this night as we will want to be well rested as we will be waking up super early and tackling the crowds at Star Wars Weekend!
