I JUST realized that I never printed out the FE list of rooms and members before I left home. Can anyone bring an extra copy for me? Otherwise, I will copy by hand sometime tomorrow! I got to know where to deliver to, right?




We will bring extra copies of the FE list. I can give it to you with your bracelets!

THANKS so much!!! Saves me time having to sit here on the computer and copy everything by hand! I have to re-pack tonight.

Greetings from the Hyatt MCO!!! Can't wait to get on the ship tomorrow!

I have just finished packing and re-packing to arrive at the ship tomorrow. I can't believe that Spencer has no idea that we are going on a cruise tomorrow. It has been hard to keep it a secret and there have been a few slips along the way. He is asleep now and thinks that we are heading home tomorrow. Wait until we arrive at the port and he sees the ship.
Everyone have a safe trip to the port and we will see you on deck 9 at 3:00

Watch his expression if hes paying attention. About 15 minutes before you get to the port, you can see all of the ships at their piers. Its after you turn towards the right, going past the KSC, and the road will straighten out and will go over several bridges and hills. The first hill provides the best view as the closer you get, the lower the hills and bridges.(Were leaving sun on the Wonder. Coming in though to spend the night at the Country Inn)

I'm on the beach at WL waiting for the shuttle launch! I'm so excited!

 

[gottolovedisney]

Just saw the launch - very cool, then come back to our room and watched over and over News13. DS doing better with his ears. Less then 12 hrs to our own "shuttle" to the Magic!

How was your view?

We are at AKV, and a CM suggested DTD next to Once Upon a Toy! It was a good view!

Everyone staying at the port tonight must have gotten a great show!

 

[Pixiedustdawn]

We watched the launch from the ship. It was pretty exciting here. I think everyone was at the front of the ship on deck 10!

Can't wait to meet everyone tomorrow.

Safe travels to everyone!

There are dark circles under my eyes this morning! We stayed up to watch the shuttle. It was so cool to see! The way the sky lit up, I felt like we were watching it in slow motion as it moved across the night sky.

Ours bags are ready for DCL! The car service picks us and Mojodisney up at 10. We should be to the port early after our liquor run!

See ya in a couple of of hours!

Saw the shuttle as we walked through England on our way back from Epcot to the Yacht club. How amazing.
Getting picked up at 11:30. Can't wait to meet everyone.

Checking out in a few minutes, and we are headed to the Cape! See everyone at 3!

 

[TVEPFOX]

We're back! Let the posting begin!

 

[TVEPFOX]

The weather gods have spoken. MCO shutdown by lightning.I should have stayed on that boat!

 

[truck1]

Went out on the Wonder the following day,and had dinner at Rustys the night before. Snapped this shot of the Magic leaving.

 

[TVEPFOX]

The Bakers are home. Big deal!!! We made it safe but soggy.

You might recall I posted there's always a black cloud over my head when we fly... well... a storm rolled into MCO just as we were supposed to board. The airport was shut down because of it.

Who's luggage sat on the runway during the bibical rains??? MINE and a few other families.

We could see our bags out there and the airport employees standing around doing nothing. When the storm cleared they finally put our bags on the plane.

When we arrived in Albany the baggage handlers were laughing their butts off taking our bags off the plane. They were soaked. My sweet reward, 6 bags dry at 47 pounds each. Wet they had to weigh 80! LOL!!!

I sat on the floor of the airport ringing out our stuff. Shoes, purses, clothing, gifts... everything drenched. I complained to SWA and of course got the stupid girl! Fought with her and her dumb manager over my wet crap. I was so mad a sheriff's deputy showed up... luckily he recognized my husband and I or I would probably be posting from jail. He even told the SWA guy he was stupid! Love it!

DH and I just finished laying out everything to dry. My house looks like a hillibillie yard sale!

SWA is going to get a piece of my mind when the corporate offices open on Tuesday. God forbid they work on Monday, Labor Day.

Enough venting!

Need sleep after two longs weeks with the mouse!

Welcome Home All!

Hope everyone loved the cruise as much as I did! Whatever family was in 8076 or thereabouts, - the "parents" magnet done in villain persona - brilliant!

The only downside - what WAS with that "see & sea" excursion? Two unidentified fish later, my kids were actually begging to return to the clubs.

Thanks, Cigy for the bracelets - they really confused the rest of the (non-Dis) passengers. That alone was worth the $4.

See y'all in Europe.
