Cast: Me-LeiLani(40), DH-Rich(41), DD-Brittany(15), DD's friend-Brittney (15), & DD-Alyssa(8). Cabin 8030 Walt's Suite. Our 4th cruise, Brittney's 1st cruise.

Also joining us are: FIL-Charles(PaPa) & MIL-Pat(Nanny). Cabin 6048 and their 1st DCL cruise.

I am not a great writer because I tend to babble and I will don't think I will get on the boards everyday, so I am going to do these in summary trip reports instead of day to day.

After flying into MCO on Friday, we all went to dinner at Victoria and Albert's in the GF where I had the chance to meet breifly with Melissa(Neverlandclub) and her husband Shawn. Alyssa spent the time in the Neverland Club at the Poly.

The weather was great as we awoke on Saturday and we preceeded to catch our limo I had booked through Happy Limo. We surprised the girls with the Hummerzine which was awesome. It is so big I don't know how they drive it.

After check-in we boarded the ship around noon and proceeded to Sessions to meet with the concierge team. We have Luciana & Theirrey(sp?) and they have been great so far. We went to lunch at Parrot Cay and finally had a chance to check out our room. The Walt Suite is AWESOME!!!! It is so big and beautiful I think we are now spoiled by this room and it will be hard to cruise in anything else. (One change we noticed from previous cruises. We could always run down and put carryons in our cabin before 1:30, but this time they actually had the hallways roped off.)

We met up with other DISers at the sailaway party which included: Denvick, KennyK, Beachbum3, goodeguys, mouseclick1, and neverlandclub. We had late seating for dinner and it was in Animators Palate and our servers are Iso from Croatia, and Roger from Jamacia. They are really good.

Alyssa played in the Lab until midnight and the teenagers came in around 3am. We are all looking forward to KW on Sunday.

Thoughts about the room and Concierge.
The Walt Suite is beautiful. It has a big master bedroom, a library which has a full size murphy bed, a large sitting area, a dinning area, and a second bedroom with twin beds and murphy beds that pull down from the wall. It also has a large walk-in closet. Both rooms have big bathrooms which included jetted tubs. There is a separate bar area and an additional half-bath near the door. We received a fruit bowl, sodas and water upon embarkation.

I will post the next report later.

<font color=darkviolet>Sounds as though you made the right choice to switch your cruise dates :teeth: . Wonderful suite and hopefully better weather than we ended up having for the 3/20 cruise. I look forward to reading more about your week, smooth sailing :wave2: </font>
 
Wow, your room sounds phenomenal!! Have fun!
 

Wow, do you have to book far in advance to get that suite? My first cruise I had a port hole room so I am just excited to have a Cat. 5 with a verandah this time. This is my first Disney cruise (4/17 this weekend I am so excited!) I look forward to more of your reports, it sounds like you are actually on the ship still? :)
 
Hi! So glad you're having a wonderful time and the Cat. 1 sounds amazing! Bet the Hummerzine was great - not having all the luggage inside, etc.

Know you'll be sad to leave that paradise........have a safe trip home! Keep the trip reports coming! ::yes::
