ROTFL!!!! My son was in here when I was reading this, and he read your comment about Brittany. He literally LOL and nodded! LOL!! I guess he's been chatting with her.I'm so glad they all became such good friends.
Ummmmmmmmm yeah. That would be him. 
Is that bad??????????
It feels so weird not having it on my finger!
AQW: Ditto about the 3-4 year old Club! I think we're done with Disney after this latest bit of insanity at the Oceaneer's Club. Fiona was hurt by counselors TWICE and not one of them said anything. I went to check Fiona in after swimming one morning and was told she had gotten into TWO FIGHTS. Ya think they coulda said something when she was picked up or maybe PAGED US????
DCL People overall were great, but I think we're done. I'm still deciding on cancelling the 2009 double dip, but that ship isn't getting any younger.

You Fish Extender crazies: HOLY COW you guys are amazing!!! Fiona was LOVING all the gifts! She loved to make "lists" with the notebooks, and was ecstatic over all the candy and toys! THANK YOU!!!
No, not at all.. But she talks to and about "Jared" ALOT so I assumed that was him..
Jared has kept pretty quiet about things on the ship (what happens down in Mexico, stays in Mexico, I guess .....), but has a very cute (guilty) grin when he does mention his "friends" on the boat. 
The kids' club incident...
So anyway, a long story to say our experience with the youth activities was very uneven. Dexter would live in the Club/Lab if he could, and after the incident Celeste had to be bribed to set foot in the Club again. (They arranged a private audience with Mickey in order to entice her to come play again). If we were cruising again tomorrow (don't I wish!) I would still let Dexter enjoy the programs as much as he wanted, but I wouldn't take Celeste in there at all. She's still traumatized - she keeps making me promise that I won't make her go in there again "because nobody would help me, Mommy"Not the lasting memory I want my 3yo to have of the Disney cruise, kwim?
Luckily, she has plenty of other wonderful memories to counteract the incident - she had a blast at the Mickey pool, going down the slide, chasing bubbles on Castaway Cay with "Miss Heather and her pirate boy" (I have no idea why she remembers him as a pirate!), meeting so many characters, developing her first crush (on "Mr. Lazslo" our assistant server). She cried getting off the ship, so even with all the trauma and drama, she still loves the Mickey boat.
There were literally 200 kids in there. He was in the 3-4 yr old group. Every time we left him we were paged except twice (Cozumel we left him on the boat and Palo night) Anyway, this was a time I was paged and went to find him and he was nowhere. I checked all the areas and finally asked a counselor. She couldn't find him and made an announcement for him to come up to the stage, he did not and she checked the boys bathroom and no luck there. I was beginning to get a little panicked at this point. He finally emerged from behind somewhere and he too had been hiding because he did not like the club. I felt really bad for him and annoyed too that the main reason we cruise is so the whole family can have a much needed break ocassionally. We don't just dump him in the kids club but want him to enjoy his vacation with other kids since he is an "only" I was not at all impressed with the kids club but just assumed it was because Disney has so many kids on their boats. I am probably going to get kicked off the boards but think we will go back to Royal Carribean next year.
My 12 year old LOVED it and stayed in there as much as he possibly could. My kids are content without a ton of structure, though.
Oh my goodness. That is so so so very sad to me. No child...NO child should go through that. I hope that she can recover easily and only focus on the good memories as the days ahead pass. Hugs for her and for you.
My 3 yo dd just bawled when we had to say good bye to Snow White. She was the most *wonderful* character with kids. She was so nurturing and loving, and my daughter fell in love with her (and I HATE the story of Snow White ....
Yeah, exactly!!! Fiona doesn't fight. We've never gotten that feedback from 3+ years of day care, and the kid doesn't hit us, no matter how frustrated we've made her!
Yeah, we'll see.
I may have been a spit-fire, I was never a trouble-maker. 
Maybe I can get the rest in 2 more loads. We'll see.
They really did pick the perfect one. Jaydin didn't know who she was, either - other than knowing the differences in the princesses. The first time we saw her, she stopped in the middle of the hall, took my dd by the hand, moved to the side, stooped down to Jaydin's level, and talked only to her. It was a very magical moment, and we will cherish it forever. She was just awesome. All of the CMs and photographers agreed, too. They said that she's the best.
Laundry .... I'm on the 5th load, I think.
I am just now washing the autographed pillowcases. I think I have done 10 loads of laundry.
We are home also in chilly PA. MNSSHP was great! Already planning on going next year. Now back to reality. Wash
Also, when we got to our house Kristen's car had a flat tire so we had to deal with that turns out it is not her tire at all but her rim is bad so being the good mommy I gave her my car and will deal with getting her car fixed tomorrow. Guess the wash might have to wait

One last post before I turn in. Please pray for our safe driving tomorrow. We are leaving FL and heading back to NC. We have been staying with relatives since the cruise and head out early in the AM
We also have the crud. Started getting it early in the cruise Tuesday and Wednesday being the worst. Yesterday, Sunday, we were just wiped out and spent as much of the day as possible resting/sleeping.
Sorry to hear so many of us got the crud. Maybe we should tell Disney there was an outbreak and we want a do-over cruise. LOL
Dear Aunt let us do many loads of
Going back to work Wed. after about a 12 hr drive tomorrow.
