Jen, LOVE these questions!!!
Favorite thing to do at Castaway Cay - Run the 5k, then.....FLOAT all day!!! It's the most relaxing day(s) of the cruise for me.

Off to take DD to cheer practice, pick up DS from football and then head to a meeting at the armory tonight. have a great night everyone!

I think DS and I will go parasailing again! We had a blast doing it last time. Good thing we double dipped then, cause they cancelled our parasailing the first day and rescheduled it for the 2nd stop. I'm glad it worked out for us to do it. I also want to do some snorkeling and check out the water slides.

Looks like alot of us have been married for awhile!

How many cruises? This will be our 5th and 4th for DS. DH and I have been on 4 (1 Carnival without DS). Wonder and Magic- once each, and this summer we tried RCI, Freedom of the Seas. We loved the Freedom, there was lots to do. DS liked the flowrider! Of course, we love Disney, but we would also sail in RCI again. DS wants to try the Oasis! If only I had tons of money I would cruise more often! and buy more DVC points!!!!
I was behind, but I think I'm caught up now! I hope everyone had a great Labor Day!

SNORKELING! Last time we were there, Mickey was being refurbed so I didn't get to see him - looking forward to finally getting my underwater pic with the Mick!

me too! I missed him last time!
Congrats on getting to sleep in a bit with the job change. I'm sure your DS is glad not to have to get up so early!
I'm not a moring person!

well we are getting another puppy Jay is only 2 weeks old but when we get some photos I;ll post them.

Can't wait to see photos of the new puppy!

Jet Skiing and Parasailing. I always leave time for Serenity Bay!

I have thought about the jet skiing - I know that DH and DS would love it!

Glad you like the questions Jude! I think they are a fun way to help us pass the time. Looks like we are planning the same sort of days at Castaway Cay again! At least this time I will be able to keep up with you during the 5K. I am totally planning on floating all day with you guys again!

I think DS and I will go parasailing again! We had a blast doing it last time. Good thing we double dipped then, cause they cancelled our parasailing the first day and rescheduled it for the 2nd stop. I'm glad it worked out for us to do it. I also want to do some snorkeling and check out the water slides.

I hear that people really like the parasailing. Hopefully this time we will not have to cancel any of them.

Good Luck getting your photo with Mickey! Our first time to Castaway Cay we tried to find Mickey and went way out to the end only to discover that he is much closer...just to the side. I don't really snorkel though because I don't like the fish!

Hope all the kiddos had a great first day of school today!

I'm TOTALLY not a morning person and i teach high school !!!
When i told Jordan that she didn't have to get up at 6am anymore, her eyes bugged out of her head, she raised her arms and exclaimed "THANK GOD!"

guess we'll have to take each other's pics when we get to Mickey

I think he gets bored staying in one spot and moves around

Sorry, I said DS...I couldn't remember what I had read and then I couldn't find your post!
Glad to see I'm not the only non morning person! I would've had the same reaction as your daughter!
We will have to take each other's pic, cause I will probably be by myself! Last time DS wasn't too excited about snorkeling, it was our first time. I'm not very good at it! LOL! I couldn't find Mickey! I don't think DH has a preference about snorkeling, but since DS wasn't into it...well I'm sure you can guess...they left me to snorkel alone!

I hope the first day of school went well for everyone! DS started on Aug.25, so he's sort of getting in the groove!

Terri, I'm glad your hand is better.

Jordan is a little fish, but didn't like it too much because she kept going too deep and filling her tube with water- LOL

Hi everyone!

We are cruising with all of you as well. We are doing a BTB starting on August 12, 2011. We are so excited! We booked this cruise last year too, but have tried not to think about it too much since it was so far away. 9 nights will be perfect. We have 3 rooms, and are traveling with our kids (3 of them), 2 of their friends and my in laws!
So looking forward to relaxing and enjoying The Dream.

Today marks the 11 months out mark for our Dream WDW and Cruise Vacation!!!! We booked the first 7 nights of our DVC pre-cruise trip this morning! Check in August 8 at the Animal Kingdom Villas Jambo house!!! Still have to call back tomorrow morning for night 8...

Our friends just booked our cruise... the lowest category for them was a cabin 4A. They are also going to WDW with us! Can't wait!

Just noticed my ticker is off a day since we decided to add on 1 more night to wdw since our local airport (which is so convenient) doesn't offer flights down on Tuesday!

Thanks for all the happy healing thoughts for my hand. Looks like i missed alot on here. For the Q.O.t.W. I can't wait to go snorkeling with my kids and hubby. My son was to freaked out to snorkel last time because they wouldn't let him take the float past the rope so I've had him practicing snorkeling in the pool all summer long and he is alot more sure of himself now. My Daughter is a fish and I think snorkeling is her favorite thing too. My Hubby would rather lay in a hammock with a beer in his hand.
I can't wait to see picts of the new puppy!!! Post them soon please.

Watching my kids play in the water and on the floats (& taking pictures of it all). Love the laziness of CC.

Dh and I celebrated our 10th anniversary on Saturday.
We all slept in, had a great diner breakfast then did a 7.5mile bike ride (even the 4.5yo on his training wheels!), rounding out the day w/ a trip to DQ for Blizzards, dinner out and then a movie w/ popcorn back at home (because there wasn't anything kid friendly playing in the theaters!).

All in all a great day on Saturday with a full day yesterday at the PA Renaissance Faire. Lots of ladies, knights, pirates and wenches! I need a few days at work just to recover!

Sounds like a wonderful day!! Congrats.
