The cruise was amazing. I was so sad to see it come to an end. I wish I could have met more of you, but I really appreciate akk of the wonderful FE gifts and the secret Mickey gift as well. It all made the trip even more special. I am not sure how in the world I am going to survive having to wait until Dec 1st next year to get on the Fantasy!

Amazing trip and amazing new friends.
We are at r

The Wilderness Lodge Villas, had a great dinner at Artist Point, working on laundry :and will head to Epcot in the morning for another fun filled day. Wish all of you were with me so we could continue the fun, especially Steve and Jody (private Joke with Kevin and Joan).


Ian, please post pictures of your Dudley, he is so cute.

Truly loved the FE gifts, this was the best exchange ever, my Secret Mickey gift was so me. I can hardly wait to get home to play. The sugar free candy was wonderful. It is hard to get good sugar free chocolate but this WAS so delicious.
I am really sorry that my daughters' secret person did not give her a gift. It was disappointing but did not spoil our trip.

I will miss all of you . Hope to keep in touch. It will take forever until April comes.

Weird question, could there have been a mix up?? We got an anonymous gift left at our door on monday with all kinds of stuff my daughter loved. I didn't participate in the FE or secret Santa Exchange though so I'm not sure how anyone would have known our room number, plus our room was really out of the way and kind of hard to stumble upon. We did love everything in the bag, so thank you to whoever left it!

I hope everyone had a FANTASTIC trip. We did. Wish I could have met more of yall at the meet. We are at WDW enjoying the parks until monday, then its back to regular life.

It's possible even though sure I'm waaaay older than you're daughter. What room number were you in? We were directly midship in 8574. If you did get my gift, then I'm happy your daughter enjoyed it! If you didn't get a Christmas card revealing your gift giver though, it may not have been my present. Maybe someone just knew your daughter deserved some cruising goodies!

Hi, was it in a red Disney Cruise Line bag by any chance?

MAYBE I CAN STALK BETH AND JIM, OUR GREAT TABLE MATES.

We kept our eyes out for stalkers, but I guess we were just in different places at different times! We loved Old Key West and can't wait to go back there again, even if we didn't run into you and Laura!

We had an awesome cruise. We and our tablemates had a great time together, and that definitely made for a lot of fun.

We loved running into fellow DIS'ers everywhere we went. Jim now believes that DIS'ers may not be the axe murderers he expected!

We just got home late last night and are still unpacking. Once I have my feet back on the ground, I have pictures to post (of course), along with a back-to-back comparison of Magic and Dream. We decided that we really like both ships, although for completely different reasons.

We were in 6683, the very last room in the middle hallway at the aft of Deck 6. I only know of one person who knew our room number and she had already left another goody bag for us (thanks again Tessasmom!! You are so sweet to think of us!) and said this one wasn't from her family. Hmmm. It's a mystery! Had to be someone from this thread as there was a neat picture frame that had our cruise logo in the photo area. Thank you, mystery person!

Nope, it was in a Christmas gift bag that said Happy Holidays.


We just got home this afternoon. We had a blast at Disney World. We just went this past March and it's amazing how different it was for my daughter in just a short period of time. She was so much more interactive with the characters and was exactly tall enough to ride the 40" rides. I don't care what anyone says - she may not remember any part of this trip when she's older, but it was not a waste of money because we have the best memories of it! We agreed this was our favorite trip we've ever taken! My daughter told me earlier that she doesn't want to go to school tomorrow, she wants to go back to live at the Princess Castle. If her father & I had our way, we'd live on the ship, but to each their own...I think her priorities are a little different

 

[tessasmom]

Oh no! I'm so sorry Sistert didn't receive her Secret Mickey gift!!! That's terrible.

I just wanted to THANK everyone for the amazing FE gifts and Secret Mickey gifts!! DH, DD and I were overwhelmed with everything!! It was a great experience and my only regret is that I didn't get to meet everyone in our group...apparently there were more of us in D Lounge that I didn't get to talk with.

Jennybinflorida, we received a gift in a red DCL bag. Was that in error???

 

[tessasmom]

I am organizing a last minute Holiday Card Exchange. I have already started it on our FB page, but remembered some of you are not on FB. If you are interested, please email me your name and address and I will make a master list for everyone to use. I'm going to make the deadline this Friday, Dec 16.

Mom and I are in if it's not too late (we got home last night). PM'd you just now.

hi we just got home late last night. A very windy flight and landing in buffalo. Did anyone else here anything about the duck breaking. We were at the grand floridian, and a cm at the dvc booth told me they had trucks with carpet for the ship that the duck broke just after our cruise. We will do the card exchange also. We live in canada so i m not sure if they will make it by christmas.

I have been back since Monday, but I have been busy trying to catch up with all my real world responsibilities and haven't had time to get on the boards.

I want to thank each of you for the wonderful FE goodies. They far surpassed our expectations--especially those of you who made hand-crafted items. I can't believe how much time you put into everything! It was so much fun getting all the surprises--right up to the last day.

I wish all of you very happy holidays and wonderful memories of our dream cruise. Maybe we'll see you again next year!

Yay! I'm so happy you liked your gift. I saw that yarn at my LYS and knew it was for you. Isn't it super soft!?!

The book is one I picked up on BookCrossing.com and held it for far too long without reading. It sounded great but if you could see "To Be Read Mountain"... you'd understand why I felt it only right to pass it on to you.

Take care and hope to run into you on another cruise one day!

Hi!!!

We are so delighted to have met the two of you and look forward to seeing you again on a future cruise. Staying in touch is a definite. We'll be seeing your counterparts in a few days and can't wait to tell them how much fun they had.

Take care and stay warm.

I'm still diving into all of my FE stuff! Each day I take a few more things out and really look at it. It was all so overwhelming on the cruise to REALLY see everything!! I listened to my CD's yesterday while trimming the Christmas tree and it just made me remember all of the great memories. THANK YOU!! I still can't believe I didn't get to meet so many of you! That's my biggest regret! That, and it was way too short! We are planning on moving our dummy date to the Fantasy in 2013, probably in December again so if anyone else is interested...maybe I'll see ya real soon! Thanks again to everyone for all of their generosity!!

Eh, it happens. It was disappointing but it definitely didn't stop my enjoyment of the cruise or the FE exchange fun.

Thanks everyone for our FE gifts the kids thought it was Christmas every day. Finally got a look at our FE extenders they sure would have looked better on the ship than on my door here at home.
