I think it's time to do a little happy dancing before the next update. This time in two weeks I'll be leaving work and heading to the airport for my Orlando trip!
Pretty much the same here as Oz, I'd suspect.I don't know if it is the same for Canadians, but I just don't think Australians have that same level of unbreakable patriotism that Americans seem to have.
That's okay. You can make it up to me by commenting profusely on the new TR.My apologies. See not commenting on your TR made me forget they were from your Key West detour

I somehow think the flight will be shorter this time around than when you fly from Australia. Just a hunch.
Won't be long.I you build it I will come.
Careful what you wish for... You haven't read my first chapter yet.I certainly hope so. Although I haven't paid for the @pkondz vip transportation package so who knows!
And, dare I say, into a dream?So, I headed through the giant mickey ears and onto the Dream.
After entering the atrium and being announced (I love that Disney touch)
Oh! Nice!I had booked a balcony room.
That looks really cozy! I like it!
Hope this doesn't come off as weird...
Well, you were wearing toe socks.I was feeling like a toddler that day and ate chicken fingers!
I know what that is!After that I headed back to my room to set up for my Fish Exchange.
I like it!And I also loved online how everyone decorated their room door, so I’d brought a whole bunch of magnets with me as well.
Heard of it... I think it's such a cool idea.I love the theming in here – the walls are all screens and they rotate every thirty or so minutes to the skyline of one of the worlds biggest cities
Well, that's not good.I ordered the ‘1914’ off the Chicago menu which was Absolut Vanilla, Absolut Kurant, Fresh Blackberries, Raspberries and Sugar Syrup. Everything sounded great but in reality, I really didn’t like the drink – it just tasted like booze – and I left most of it behind!
That's the first time anyone's said that.Tables are allocated in advance and I just happened to be seated with someone who I really didn’t get along with
Yuck.came off as a little pushy and were way too keen to get to know me and spend time with me too quickly.
Sure. Let's go with that.As well as my towel animal which I’m going to guess was a dog.
Awww... Long day.And with that I hit the hay – I’d had a long day – I’d run a race, got on a cruise ship and was now out to sea – and I closed my eyes and dreamed a little dream in peace.

I glanced at the photo as I scrolled and... stopped.
"What is wrong with her foot??"
The straps of your shoes/sandals in my mind got translated to you wearing blue and white striped socks... but I couldn't figure out
what kind of socks you could have that left the toes poking out. Then I thought you had these:
But your toes didn't look... thick enough?
Finally it clicked. (Okay, it took maybe 5 seconds to go through all that in my head, but still... )
I know what that is!
I had no idea until another DISer explained it to me, but...
I like it!
Is the top one... one? Or three separate ones?
Well, that's not good.
I think I would've had the exact same experience as you did.
Would've ordered it, based on description, and left it if it tasted too boozy.
That's the first time anyone's said that.
Usually it's (at worst), "our tablemates weren't very interesting", or something like that.
Yuck.
Was it "Hey! We need to hang out!"
Awww... Long day.
Yeah, but... you were just you. Ergo... cozy.It was fine for one or two people but I would have struggled with a family of four. With the couch folded out as a bed you would lose basically any floor space you had.
Toasty tootsies.Although I have in my life owned those types of socks...
Hadn't thought of the stress part.It was fun but I don't think I'd do it again. One it was kind of expensive. Two it took up a lot of room in my luggage. Three it was just a lot of added stress as well.
I've come to that point in my life where if I don't like it, I'm not going to choke it down.I hate wasting drinks, especially at Disney prices, but sometimes you have to just throw in the towel when it doesn't taste good.
Ew.I think it's because we were both travelling solo and there was no one else at our table. Or he was just socially awkward/agressive but I felt really uncomfortable and tried my hardest to avoid him the rest of the cruise.
I don't seem to be able to have any other kind of day on vacation

The cost? I guess it depends on how much fun I thought it'd be.

(Unless it would be insulting to my host, or something like that.)
Got it.True. Was just trying to warn others who may actually have friends and family to travel with
Why did you move to Denver???? Arizona gets much less snow.I need a pair today - we got another almost 8 inches of snow overnight.
And a lot of room!I think if you have a smallish group the cost is manageable but ours was almost 20 so that was a lot of stuff to get.
even though I’d done a 5k the day before I was getting ready to do another run this morning.
Pretty sunrise.
That sounds a whole lot better than a parking lot.You run all the way around the island and out on the runaway and I’d highly recommend it if you’re into running.
Nice view!I took this pic from my balcony before heading out.
Good to know.I was worried that there would not be enough seats seeing as I hadn’t gone first thing in the morning, but Disney provides plenty.
I spent a few hours relaxing on the beach and enjoying a few cocktails – I mean who could blame me with that view.
No socks?
Check. Soggy socks.But it was a little cold for swimming in November, so I dipped my toes in and that was it.
And... Am I seeing a Hydro box... in your back yard???
You just ate!I still had a few hours before dinner and was starting to get a little bit peckish,
Oh! I thought all cruises were like that.(unlike other cruise lines in room dining on Disney is free other than gratuities).
Oh, yum. Probably exactly what I'd order.I ordered the cheese plate and the key lime pie.
there’s nothing better than a cheese plate on a balcony overlooking the ocean.
Didn't know that. Knew of it... not that it was the less formal one.Palo is one of the two specialty restaurants on board but the less formal of the two.
The entire meal sounds wonderful... but I want this.This was followed by a palate cleanser of lemon sorbet.
I just realized it'd be like a double show with them reflecting off the water, wouldn't it?After dinner it was pirate night, so I headed upstairs to the top deck to watch the only fireworks at sea. It was really cool to be able to see them in the middle of the ocean!
Dinosaur?
The box at the back left in the yard. Is that a box that's owned by the utility company? Maybe has a warning sign on it perhaps?I don't know what a hydro box is

Also good to know since I'm sailing with Holland America...

Okay, that's what I was wondering.Ah ok. The huge one is an electricity one. The two round posts next to it are phone and internet. And it sucks having them in our backyard as I have random utility employees walking around every so often as its for the whole street
