Angie I am pooh sized I am what I am and I am putting my suit on!! I love the water.

Didn't get the opportunity to meet any one at CI&S but have spoken to a lot of patrons who are joining us!! Even a sales rep who works at my hospital!

Don't catch the scuttle for an hour and a half.

Thank you.

I Get home later this evening and this will be my first thing to do. Much like disneyfool_1202 my dad is crazy when it comes to packing and he almost threw them out but I was able to snatch them back up first. So, I should be able to have them up between 10 - 11PM.

I'm with you! We were packing last night , and I had all the navigators for the week in a drawer... Opened it up and they were gone..asked my wife and she said whe thew them out in the morning while cleaning

We had a great rime delivering gifts...hope everyone enjoyed them! We love the gifts as well! The boys would run to the room each time we went back to see what they found! So many amazing and thoughtful gifts! Thanks to everyone!

We had a wonderful time. This being our first cruise we weren't exactly sure how things would go. I was the only one in my family who got seasick. My seabands were a life saver for me! I only got to meet a couple people from the board. CrazyboutDisney (Beth), ABCangie (Angie), and Virginia. It was great to meet you. I did see a few people wearing the wristbands or the lanyard but didn't get a chance to say hi.

We decided not to book another cruise. We had a great time, the boys loved loved loved the kid's club. Of course, Castaway Cay was fantastic, but we are content with just this one for now. We will wait until the prices come down a lot.

I hope everyone made it home safely. It has been great to talk to everyone these last 9 months. Hopefully we will cruise together again in the future.

I am sitting on the magical express getting ready to go to the airport


I'd much rather still be cruising and getting to spend more time meeting or hanging with u all! I'll post more when we get home (and plan on doing a trip report) but did want to say what fun the FE was and what a blessings making new disfriends has been! I hope we can keep in touch....because I alwayssay u can't have too many friends!

Safe travels home and let's all help each other fight the post vaca blues

 

[CruiseTink]

What a great cruise!

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in the FE exchange! We had a lot of fun making our deliveries and my kids were beyond excited with all of the fun and thoughtful surprises!

Although we really enjoyed and appreciated all of the gifts I need to send out a special thank you to the folks in stateroom 10570 for the paint brush. My son used it faithfully to keep the sand off of his feet (so much better than tracking sand back into our stateroom) AND it saved my camera too! After I used my underwater camera during our swim with the stingrays it had sand in the area around the power button and the camera would not turn back on. My husband used the brush to clean the sand out of the camera and it worked perfectly. Very clever gift!

We hope everyone had a great time on their cruise and a safe trip home. You all are very talented and thoughtful and we really appreciate all that you did to make our trip even more special!

I'm joining here a bit late, but my family was in 7178 during this cruise. It was the third Disney cruise for my sister and me and the first for my parents. I can't imagine how the weather could have been any better, and I really don't think I have ever seen so much crystal in my entire life! I don't know if any of you got to see the ventriloquist, but he was amazing. He sang "Grazing in the Grass" as a trio - himself and two puppets. I could hear gasps coming from the audience and this was the adult show in Evolution! We were going to get off in Nassau, but we decided to stay onboard and enjoy the Dream (but we got off just to take pictures of the bow). We re-booked for next year, but I just wanted to secure the onboard credit and discount - we'll probably move the date.

I was on the AquaDuck a total of 10 times - how about the rest of you?

By the way, did any of you have the chocolate decadence on the last night's dessert menu? I overheard that it involved 11 different chocolates.

I hope all of you got home safe.

Thanks all. Sounds like you had a great double dip experience. Looking forward to posted Navigators.

I had the chocolate decadence and I would say it was "okay". It really wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I only went on the AquaDuck 1 time. My DH and 7 yr old went twice. I kept meaning to go back and just never made it back on it. We were in room 7172 so practically neighbors.

 

[disneyfool_1202]

I want to go back NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Not months or years from now but NOW!!!!

We had such an amazing and exhausting time. I slept 13hrs last night - makes up for waking up at 4:30 am every day - if anyone wondered who the loon on deck 11 was drinking coffee at 5:15am reading a book all by myself it was ME!!! I loved my quiet time and that was the ONLY time I could get it.
The kids loved the kids club- loved the aquaduck - loved the island.... they had such a great time that it made DH's and my time that much more enjoyable.

I didn't get to meet all of you and did meet some of you - seems we'd run into the same people over and over and over again!!

Donna, Beth, Michelle & Angie it was WONDERFUL having martini's with you - and you got to meet Juan, um.... John......

Seriously - if I had to pick a favorite moment of the whole cruise it would have been late afternoon on CC day #1 when my husband said to me "why does everyone ask me if I"m "Denise's husband" or say "wow you DO look like Juan Valdez?" I had to tell him why and I then got "the look" like "you did it to me again didn't you...". Mr super shy married me - HIS mistake!!!

 

[domiii]

We had a fantastic time!! Thank you so much for all the amazing goodies we found outside our door. The conceirge staff labeled us the "fun" family because if that.

I regret not meeting most of you during the trip. We ran into Virginia last night at Fantasmic!! That was fun.

My mother has the distinct honor of being the oldest women to ride the aquaduck twice!! Rachel even gave her a certificate and a mention at the last show!!! Pretty cool for 85!

We flew into KC yesterday afternoon (yeah for nonstop flights that children sleep on!). Rented a van (and barely fit all the luggage for the six of us. Apparently I need the packing Nazi to visit here on the next trip!).

An hour from home, Brooke got sick! Thank God for ziploc bags being available-- no mess in the van. She was in the back and I think between sinus drainage, exhaustion, and a bit of car sickness, it just did her in. She seems fine this morning!

We pulled into the driveway about 8p.m. By 10p.m. I had all the suitcases emptied, and 75% of the stuff put away. We did laundry at Saratoga, so I only have one load of laundry to do! I just need to find a new home for all the fun FE stuff!

By 1030p.m. I had downloaded my pictures. I haven't had a chance to edit more than a handful of them, but wanted to share what I think might be my favorite one from the whole batch!
