Kathy-
How in the world do you do it??? Just reading your post made me want to go take a nap! I have most of the laundry done. Haven't even thought about the grocery store yet. I went and got DS at Grandma's today so now we are all home. He starts school on Wednesday.

Thanks everyone who made this cruise wonderful. We had an awesome time but probably won't do the cruise again without our DS. He had a great time at Grandma's.

We rebooked for a date in 2007 but are planning on moving it once the 2008 dates come out. We are sailing again in November 2007.

Anyway, I need to go get DS some shoes for school so I will talk to you later.

Hey Marcie that would be great about the photos. I only took 400. David isn't that interesting to photograph HAHA

Mary,

What kind of deal did you get on rebooking? I didn't get to talk to the girl about it long enough to get any prices out of her. I did ask about booking in '08, and she gave me a list of dates in '07. We just never made it back to get a price quote. Needless to say, I'm bummed. I've already started adding my points up for the Disney Vacation Club so we will probably do a week at a resort in May '07, then cruise in '08.

Got 60 of our 220 pics developed today. I have them all downloaded, but had 1 hour developing at Sam's Club, and it took forever to send them over. A real pain. Snapfish is easier, but I wanted them right away. We are having issues w/ our discs from our camcorder. Hitachi says we shouldn't have used whatever discs we used, but on the back of the case it says compatable w/ Hitachi. I'm not too happy right now. We had the Pirate night, sail away parties, etc. on it. I'm sure we'll figure something out.

Of course right now, we are watching some sort of Disney video. We've created a little monster!!

Carol,

You sound like you had the same night we had that last night. Where was your room? We were in 6515. Kids running up and down the hall around 2. One of our tablemates said she had a roomful of teenagers next to her that were very loud around 2. Ava also threw up that last night.

Our room number was 6042 & yes the kids were very load & also kept us up. The last night in general was not a very good night. Dont get me wrong though we loved the trip. Just wish the walls were a little more sound proof. We had boys next to us -- behind the bed who would rough house late at night & first thing in the morning. Just screaming... My older dtr (6) was also feverious & I had a sinus infection. BOO Who..
We have not booked another trip but hope to convince my sp within the next year. Wish me some motivated buyers & great listings ...

We must of hit it just right on deck 7, we had NO noise in our hallway at night. I heard a little while getting ready to go to dinner, but that was all.

Has everyone recovered from returning from their cruise yet? I'm still getting caught up. Now I'm just trying to sell a few houses to get caught up on the bills! We really didn't spend that much money aside from the cruise itself, but whew, it's starting to take it's toll! But, we're already starting to plan our next trip to Disney. It'll probably be in early May. Aug. was just too hot, and too crowded. That's the great thing about not having anyone in school yet. I want to hear from everyone!

Hi Tara,
yep we are all recovered here. Marie and the grandkids just left yesterday for Oregon. We had an awesome trip too. If you ever just come to WDW for a few days let me know and I'll try to pop over and say HI!!
If you ever stay at the Caribbean beach resort I have a son who is a manager there you can say Hi to.
well now we are watching Ernesto and wondering??? I feel badly for the cruisers on the Wonder on thursday they must be so upset not knowing if their flights will be cancelled or re routed and if the ship will be at port canaveral or diverted to another port. They have done that a couple times during hurricanes for safety.

Weather in May is usually beautiful!! it is in the med 70's but just starting to head up to the 80's but NO humidity yet. June can be pretty hot, so try for the first part of May. April is even better for weather.

I read your report and enjoyed it very much,
keep in touch,
Kathy

Hey gang-
It is great to hear that everyone is doing well. I am now on a mission to get both the April and now August DCL scrapbooks done. That might help with the cruise depression. I just love cruising and coming back to reality is hard after such a great time.
Well we might becoming to WDW earlier than I thought. David is thinking of running the Disney Marathon in January. We would be there Thurs-Mon but that would be ok with us.
Tara, we cruised in April and loved the weather. It was picture perfect IMHO. Our next cruise is going to be in November, so who knows what that weather might be (ok Marie you would know). I wish in a way we were going back in April but I would like to see the ship decorated for the holidays. Unfortuantly we will have to take DS out of school a day or two before the holiday but I think that will be ok.
Once the 2008 dates are released we will switch the cruise we booked while on board to one of those dates. I can't wait to see what DCL has up their sleeves for the 10 year anniversary. I hope it is good!
Well I will talk to you guys later.

Hi everyone! We aren't going to be cruising in 2007 but if they do something special in 2008 we may cruise then. We may take a different vacation next year. Mary, we cruised in November last year and the water was so smooth. I would do that again, Thanksgiving was nice on the ship and all the decorations. The only thing was the water was a little cold. But, it was so nice, getting on the ship it was cold but we woke up the next morning and it was so warm on the verandah! I hate cold weather so I was loving it. Glad to see everyone is doing good.
