And now it's time to say goodbye

[FirstTimer]

After all the planning and excitement, it's over, back home in NJ. But boy did I have a blast . Now for what I would have done differently:

Here's the basics: Disneyworld 9/7-9/11 Cruise 9/11-9/15

Land:
1) Would have bought the 3 day hopper pass instead of the 4 day, ended up spending a day at Seaworld so lost a day at disney, therefore have 1 day left on an expired ticket.
2) Would NEVER let anyone talk me into sitting through a timeshare presentation, no matter how great the reward. It takes up too much time and I'm on vacation to relax!

Cruise:
1) Would have taken that dag on motion sickness medicine MUCH earlier. First night, the water was so rough, I asked myself why did I push so much for this cruise. Hardly ate any dinner and afterward I took the pills and was out for the rest of the night Which brings me to my next regret

2) Sleep! I definitely did tooo much of this on the cruise. I think because I used up most of my energy on the land part of the trip, by the time the cruise came I simply had nothing left to give. As such I basically went to sleep everynight after dinner. Darn it! I even missed the chocolate sweets night and I was really looking forward to that! DH was knocked out with me but didn't seem to care. The only person that didn't sleep was DD, spending most of her time in the kids club bouncing off of walls.

3) Did not pack the corkscrew! Wasted a whole bottle of wine cause couldn't open it! DH wasted about 4 coronas cause he couldn't finish them. (Special shout out to Shirley from the perfect gift, DH and DD were thoroughly pleased with the gifts, and mine was a most welcome surprise)

4)Not so much a regret but a surprise, didn't eat as much as I thought I would.

5) Would not bother to go to the beach at the bahamas. It was too far away and the beach at Castaway Cay was muuuuuuch nicer/calmer. If I did go to the beach at the Bahamas WOULD NOT TAKE A FERRY THERE! The ferry drops you off at a spot that takes another 10 mins. to walk to the beach, for a dollar more you can take a cab right there (and not get lost walking like a certain family )

And that's about it, my list isn't too long and we all had a great time. GOOOOOO Disney!

Yeah, I mean I still had a good time regardless, just putting up some things I would do differently for others to see (like take the 7 day cruise and forget about wdw next time
