[PizzieDuster]

Yeah, another trip report from DMMarla! I loved your last report.
Can't wait for pictures and more detailed information! And where were all the fun people?

 

[DMMarla07860]

I'll try to get my trip report started sometime next week just haven't got all my pictures up and much easier to get them all up before I start

 

[DMMarla07860]

I'll be starting this really soon. Almost got all my pictures up

 

[DMMarla07860]

Woke up around 4:00am since I couldn't sleep anymore and needed to be up by 5:00am anyway. Turned on the Disney Channel and watched some Recess(which I haven't watched since it was on One Saturday Morning) and got dressed. My dad and I left the house at about 5:00am. Drove to Newark airport, parked the car and caught the bus to the terminals. Went through security and went to mcdonalds for breakfast. After eating went to the gate and waited to board the plane. Boarded the plane and left a little late, but got to Orlando pretty much on time. Got the luggage and then went to catch the bus that goes to the car rental place. Dad got the rental car and we headed to Downtown Disney for lunch at Earl Of Sandwhich. I got ham and swiss cheese sandwhich

and dad got this.

After lunch walked around Downtown Disney for a while and did a little shopping

Went back to the car and headed over to check in at the hotel. We stayed at All-Star Sports Hotel this time. Checked in and found out we were in the Hoops building. So went to park the car near there and went to the room since it was ready.

After resting for a while we headed to catch a bus to Magic Kingdom

Got to Magic Kingdom

Once in the park we went on Pirates Of The Caribbean and Haunted Mansion. We then got a Dole Whip float. Then we split up for a while and I went to see the parade then did a little shopping and rode the train.

I don't know what my dad did, but here are some pictures he took.

After I rode the train around the Magic Kingdom one time it was closed because it started raining, so met up with my dad and we got a bus back to the hotel. Got back to the hotel and headed to the room and took some pictures while heading back

Next Up: Epcot for dinner and fireworks

 

[ArmandXG]

Great start... Love the pics!

 

[DMMarla07860]

After resting in the room for a while, we headed to catch the bus for Epcot. The bus came and we were on the way to Epcot. Got to Epcot and got into the park. Walked around for a while and headed to Japan area for some dinner, it was packed inside so we had to sit outside in the rain. After dinner took some pictures.

Went shopping in a store in Japan and bought some candy. Walked around somemore and went to the American section and watch a show. Then we went and found ad spot to sit and watch the fireworks. My dad talked to a couple that was sitting next to us and they talked about DCL since that came up. Took a picture of the ball while waiting for the fireworks to start.

Fireworks started so we watched them for a while. Left before they were over so we wouldn't have to wait long for a bus. Got the bus back to the hotel and went to the room. While going back to the room found out the pool was packed still so we went and took a little swim in the pool since it was 10:00pm or so and we weren't going to sleep yet. After swimming dad went and got us a couple drinks of soda with our cups and we headed back to the room. When we got back to the room I took a shower and then watched some tv. Dad went to sleep and I watched tv a while longer and then tried to go to sleep, but couldn't so was up till about 2:00am.

Next Up: Hotel, Port, and Wonder

 

[DMMarla07860]

Woke up around 6:00am. I couldn't sleep since I was so excited. Watched tv and got ready for the day. Dad was out taking pictures around the hotel already.

Dad came back to the room and we watched tv and got our stuff all together then we headed to get some breakfast. I had a mickey waffle and bacon.

After breakfast I wanted to check out some more of the hotel I had not looked at yet. So we did that.

While we were walking around we saw a armadillo, yup that's right a armadillo in Orlando.

Went to the food court at the hotel again and bought a drink so I could have something to drink at port and went back to the room and got our stuff and headed to the car. Left the hotel at about 8:15am and were on our way to port.

Next Up: Port and Disney Wonder

 

[TotallyAngelic]

Brilliant start to your report Julia - I am really enjoying it - some great photos as ever, especially the ones where the place is empty. Can't wait to hear about your cruise adventures and all that partying!

 

[DMMarla07860]

So we left All-Star Sports hotel at 8:15am and drove to port. This was our first time not taking DCL bus. Got to port around 9:50am and parked the car and walked into the terminal and didn't have to wait in any big lines. Looked around the terminal and took some pictures.

A line started to begin so we got in line for check in and waited. While in line they handed out boarding number cards. We got number

The CM's came out to start checking people in after a while. Once we were all set and got our pictures, dad went and looked around the terminal.

I sat and relaxed and people watched.

They started boarding at about 11:35am or so I want to say. They said number 2 group could board, so we got up and headed to board to Wonder. Got our picture taken

[LD NURSE]

You're killin' me!! I need more! I hope they play Bon Jovi on our cruise. Give us some more PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

 

[DMMarla07860]

So after we boarded the ship we went to Parrot Cay for our first lunch on the ship.

After lunch we went up to deck 9 and got our first drinks of the cruise. Bahama Mama's. Love It! After that I went and changed while dad went and sat down. Met up with my dad and I headed to take a dip in the Goofy Pool while he went to the adult pool Quiet Cove Pool and took a dip. I could have gone, but I went to the Goofy Pool because The Lion King was going to be playing on the Ariel View Television and I wanted to watch it. So I watched The Lion King and took a picture with my cell phone.

Got another Bahama Mama, yeah life is good. Watched the rest of the movie and then relaxed by the pool. Dad met up with me after a few hours and we headed down to the stateroom which was aft on deck 5 this time. Dropped some of my stuff off and left my dad to go walk around the ship some more. Headed up to deck 9 and got a soda and then went back over to the Goofy Pool and watched some stuff happening there. Pikey and DJ Frankie were there hosting Pool Side Jams. Said Hey to Pikey and he remembered me since I have met him on 5 other cruises. Met Frankie for the first time and he is a awesome dude and a Yankees fan so got to like him. After that went back down to the stateroom and got ready for the lifeboat drill.

For the drill our station was in Animator's Palate(I guess they want to feed us if the boat starts going down). After the drill headed back to the stateroom and dropped off the life jackets and I left my dad and headed up to Adventures Away.

After Adventures Away was over went down to deck 4 and watched us sailaway and ran into my dad who was down there.

Left my dad and headed back to the stateroom to get ready for dinner.

Dinner tonight was in Animator's Palate and it was great like every other cruise. Met tablemates who were all nice and Servers Sutas and Aiko who were great. Saw the show and I have to say like it better on the Magic, was great on the Wonder as well though.

After dinner walked around the ship a while since there was time before The Golden Mickeys started.

Went to see The Golden Mickeys, which was great seeing once again. After that headed to the stateroom and drop off some things and then went to Wavebands where Pikey and Frankie were hosting The Feud game, so watched that. After that was Match Your Mate, not as funny as it was on the Magic last time, but still funny. After that was Rock and Country Hour, so got up and danced for that because the cruise staff is great at getting people up and dancing. After that DJ Frankie played some music till 1:30am. Left Wavebands around 1:15am and headed to the stateroom for the night.

I woke up around 6:30am-7:00am, yeah can't sleep in late on the Wonder or Magic. Dad was out taking pictures on deck.

While he was doing that, I got ready for the day and watched some tv in the stateroom. Dad got back and a little bit later we headed up to Beach Blanket Buffet for breakfast. After breakfast I left my dad and went and took some pictures on deck 10.

Dad came and joined me

we talked for a while and he took some pictures of me.

Left my dad and went and took some more pictures on deck 10.

Headed down to deck 5 and sat in my favorite spot to relax for a while. Went down to deck 4 and outside and watched us pull into Nassau some.
