As far as my room and limit experience goes .... All is *wonderful*. I noticed yesterday that they were having a little problem with the Mickey pool. They filled it, emptied it, filled it again .... Not sure what was up with that.

Everything is looking great - I love the new furniture in the Cove, I haven't had a lot of time to spend up there yet but look forward to some relaxing reading! I am getting ready to update my trip report so there will be more info over there too.

Life is *good*.

Hey DIS Double Dippers----

Well it's Friday night and we're all aboard the ship right now enjoying our final night aboard the Magic....a bittersweet moment for us all, I'm sure.

I just wanted to make a post that everyone would get when they signed onto the boards upon getting home to say:

WELCOME HOME!! And thank you to everyone who made this cruise yet another magical amazing wonderful experience for Jason and I. All the fantastic fish extender gifts...the secret mickey treasures...the smiles and "hello"'s in the halls and at the pool....the group picture....it was all so amazing and we're glad we got to meet everyone!

 

[alleluia5]

Hi all - just wanted to second the thank you's - the F/E gifts were amazing! The gifts so far exceeded my expectations. I had the best Secret Mickey in the world and this was an amazing cruise. Even though I am sad we are sitting here on the last night, all of you were a piece of an incredible memory for DH and I. Wishing you all the best and safe travels as you head home!

 

[Epperbiker]

Ugh... We're home. What a bummer! But we had a great time!!! More later!

 

[jenn&nelsonrego]

Welcome Home!

Tell us all about it!

I noticed yesterday that they were having a little problem with the Mickey pool. They filled it, emptied it, filled it again .... Not sure what was up with that.

Finally home after a 're-routed' trip to Epcot. I too wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the wonderful FE gifts...my little guy was so excited to wake every morning to see if our 'Mickey Friends' left any 'mail' in our FE.

Wonderful cruise, again, my only complaint was those pesky parents that let their tots in the Mickey pool with swim diapers ...not sure they realized their 'harmless' act of selfishness led to MANY hours of that pool having to be drained, filled, drained and filled only to be (yes, you guessed it) drained and filled again....not to mention all the little sad faces (and angry parents) that were sitting on the sidelines waiting for the all clear. After the fourth time, I found myself playing 'lifeguard' on the lookout for those pesky offenders.......

Hope everyone had a safe trip home!

BTW - Anyone else book while onboard?

Overall a good cruise. Would have liked more sun. Visible improvements to the ship were few and far between. No new furniture around adult pool, new tvs in the rooms, food was better this year than last, new carpeting. Will post more later. We rebooked for next August.

Hey everyone! Wanted to pop on and thank everyone for such a great trip!!! My last cruises have always been with family and we traveled in packs of at least 15 so this cruise was going to be a little different with just 4 of us. But both my Mom and I felt like we were still traveling with lots of extended family. Everyone was so friendly and chatty even on board. We had a fabulous time! Thanks to everyone that participated in the fish extenders. We loved everything! Even though I was an adult, I still loved coming back to the room and finding little gifts.

Hope everyone had a safe trip home and all have arrived to their appropriate destinations!

We did! Twice.....

Welcome home everyone! We got in this afternoon after a little shopping. The dog was VERY excited to see us again. It was so wonderful to meet so many of you! Sorry we had to miss the group photo, we had our brunch scheduled RIGHT THEN, figures! I can't wait to see it though.

And I didn't get to see my secret mickey much at all, but I want to tell her THANKS SO MUCH! Lionel is absolutely beside himself over his shirt, and I loved mine as well. I'll post a picture of the best drink glass in the world later on my TR, promise

Looking forward to all the TR's, and hearing from everyone.

Welcome home everybody! I can't believe that it's all over!!!! It was an amazing cruise and I will cruise again soon!!!

Thank you all for the fish extender gifts! I haven't opened that suitcase, but I'm excited to show my family all of the goodies!

Miss so many of you guys already!

We got home so early! We made it to MCO by 10am - were able to change our 6pm flight to an 11:05am flight and were on Long Island by 1:10pm.

We had such a great time. It was so great having some one on one time with our daughter. She loved (and we loved) the F/E gifts - that was just so much fun! We loved walking the ship twice handing out ours and had a blast getting gifts for our Secret Mickey family.

I think the best part of walking the ship was seeing how creative all of you were with your door decor - we got so many great ideas for our next cruise!!

WE LOVED the gift our Secret Mickey gave us - it was so perfect because I snorkeled for the absolute first time and loved it!! Our gift was a statue of Mickey in his snorkel gear.

We were going to book onboard - but everytime we went to the desk, there was a line of people and our rservation is so complicated because we're bringing everyone along next time - We're either doing the 8/22/09 or 8/29/09 cruise.

Anyway - the cruise was fabulous - it was great meeting so many of you. I really, really, really wish they'd do more two-stoppers at Castaway - that was just FABULOUS!!

All the future Double Dippers - You're in for such a treat - even with the rainy weather - it was beautiful and fun and the castmembers were great (except for Miss Grumpy at the soft serve ice cream place by the BBQ - she was the grumpiest castmember we've ever seen ever).

Our server, Hemant, was incredible!!! Gosh - I just want to go back. Right now.

We are home too.

Thanks to everyone for the awesome f/e gifts! the kids had so much fun checking it daily for suprises!!

we booked twice too.
Oct 3 Western.

It was great meeting everyone!! We had an awesome time.

anyone else in shock from the temp changes? It is 50 degrees here, supposed to be 39 tonight.

 

[zweihund]

Oh, I almost forgot.......I didn't label my FE gifts, can anyone guess which ones were from me? I'll give you a hint:

QUACK! Arrrrrrr.......

Just got home a few minutes ago. Landed at Newark NJ and took the AirTrain to the NJ Transit Station and the train to South Amboy NJ. Not a bad experience. DH picked me up at 8PM at the train station.
I was travelling with Pfishgirl and family, but they are not returning until Sunday night... We had a blast.
I also booked another cruise while on board.
I'm taking DH on the land/sea next September.

I got home about 2 hours ago and just made a run to the grocery store. I'm off to bed soon. For those of you who didn't run into me mid to late week, I got quite sick. When we got to Cozumel, we found a pharmacy to buy Zithromax (since you don't need a prescription there). I cannot stop coughing now even with meds.

Anywhooooooo.....Epperbiker! Your mom likely has my mom's luggage! Isn't that a coincidence! The porter who helped us put one of your DM's luggage with ours. As I was waiting for my DM to bring back a rental car, I was taking the Tinkerbell luggage tags off, and found we had a piece of your DM's luggage that has the 98% exact same tapestry fabric as my DM's. I called and left vmails to the number on her luggage tag, which I'm quite certain was her home phone number as a answering machine picked it up. I took your DM's luggage back into the port.

Well, I'm off to bed. I literally have 42 pages to catch up on from the past 2 weeks!

Hope you all had a wonderful trip, and other than saying I was so thrilled to meet most of you, I'll comment more later!

GN!

Hi friends! We made it home this evening too...after a day at EPCOT where we were all excited to be there but seriously dragging!

Thank you EVERYONE for the FE gifts. Reese was SO delighted to come back to fun things in our FE.

And thanks SO much for stopping by to put a star on our US map! We had 49 people put stars on our map, and Reese was excited to come back and find out what was added new each time.

I'm about to fall over tired...Reese's fish died while we were gone, so that was a bummer to come home to.

Did anyone sign up for the Sept. 19th, 2009 sailing? We'll be there!
