[Princess Runner]

Princess Runner,

I noticed your avatar is a pic of a firehouse? My eyes are getting bad so maybe I'm wrong. Any firefighters in the family? Sorry, just curious, I'm in a related career.

Your friends will know next time. There are... maybe... 3800 others on the ship that are not participating in the FE exchange? No biggie, everyone will have a great time anyway.

Be sure to attend the meet on the first day, introduce yourselves and get to know others. It's all good!

Yes, my DH is a firefighter paramedic, way back in the chat I asked if someone else was in a related career, so we could exchange tshirts, patches...sorry you missed it, but if you are still interested let me know, you can send me a pm if you like. You are no telling me what is your career but I know my DH will be super happy to share with you and your experiences! loooking forward to meet you

Our plane leaves at 3 pm today. Have a little bit more packing this morning then arrange the packing cubes goblin the luggage and we see how many baggage fees we have to pay.

Nail salon is hopeful for today. Bills. House cleaning.

Well we made it with only 3 checked bags. We are at the airport waiting for boarding to start. DS has on his Captain Mickey ears. In a few more hours we will be in Orlando and heading to POFQ via Magical Express. Safe travels everyone! .

WE did go to HP, we ate at three broomsticks for lunch ( it was good and they gave a AAA discount!), tried both Butterbeers ( we liked the frozen better! But both were good), rode flight of the hippogRAF. DS rode dragon challenge. We are going to go back and ride Fj and look around some more tomorrow or Sun. We aren't huge HP fans but everything looks really cool! The crowds were not bad today! I think the wait for FJ was only 45 minutes at around 1:30 pm.

Thanks for the tip. I never noticed that button before. We are huge HP fans, I'm glad you had a good time. We will try to make it one of these days.

We leave in 13 hrs

As many times as my kids will let me.

New Question - Where is the first place you will go once you board the ship?

To try to get Palo Brunch reservations! Then to guest services to sign up for all those drink tastings!

Which tasting or tastings are you signing up for?

 

[lovesDCL]

Which tasting or tastings are you signing up for?

Martini, Wine, Tequila, Champagne, & Mixology

Wow...I just realized that's a lot of tastings...

We normally don't drink too much but really enjoy the tastings onboard because we get to try things we normally wouldn't

What a great job your husband has!

Reminds me of an old joke...What do firemen and policemen have in common? They both wanted to be firemen! Too late to get any stuff to swap. But, it will be a pleasure to cruise with you guys.

Well after all that worry we made it to Lorton in less than 3 hrs!!
We ate lunch at zPizza in the strip mall near the station. Surprisingly good for non NY/Philly pizza!
Heading over to the station to check in!

We ate at the same place yesterday! Not too bad either

Spent a wonderful day at the BLT pool. We are still a bit tired from a rough night of sleep on that train.

Met Laura, Marco, Helen, and Dave at the Poly earlier this evening. Yes, Marco had a Grumpy shirt on

We did the Spirit of Aloha dinner show tonight. Food - not too bad, not the greatest. The show was entertaining.

Travel day recap:

Got up at 4 AM, got to Newark Airport at 6:30, flight left on time at 8 AM.

There was a lot of turbulence, but it was still a pretty good flight. Southern Elegance got us over to CIS by Universal by a a little after 12.

Spent the day at Islands of Adventure, had a good time, but like Harry said a little tired from traveling so we at dinner at TGIFs and are now back at CIS showered and relaxing watching the Disney Channel.

An early breakfast at CIS tomorrow morning and then off to Universal Studios for the day.

I will see you in the guest services line. Although I will be alone since I am sure my husband and kids will be heading straight to aquaduck.

BTW, don't put crocs in the dryer. My DD's accidentally were put in tonight. So, I just got back from the store with a new pair to replace her old ones which now fit my 1 year old. They shrunk alot!

Hey All!

Spent a great night with family last night in Orlando. We made it down to Vero Beach this afternoon-- too late for the meet, but if we see any green lanyards around we'll say hi! The weather is great, and Vero is so nice! Can't wait to enjoy the pool and beach tomorrow!

Safe travels everyone who is currently on your way!

Me too re the brunch ressies! After that, we'll take the girls up to the pools, watch the girls splash around until we get hungry!

And in terms of the drinks: I'm all for having something with an umbrella in it.
