Great start Pam.
I wish we had been able to do the LTT dinner with you guys.....darn later flight.
Taylor is too cute.......especially that picture when you told her about the verandah!!!!!!!!!!
My Mom was worried about us because of the weather & called DCL a few times to make sure we were ok & she said the only thing they would tell her was that the ship was safe....didn't feel too safe Thursday & Friday night did it????????
Keep up the good work.

Day 1 Continued:

So we get on board, they announce our name wrong, WHO CARES we are finally here!! We get to TopSiders for some lunch and DH can't find his sunglasses?? OH NO HE MUST HAVE LEFT THEM WHEN WE HAD OUR EMBARKMENT PHOTO TAKEN??? DD and I stay at Topsiders while DH gets permission to head off-board and look for his glasses........HMM..seems the CM remembers him taking them off but they are gone now...WHERE'S MY DISNEY MAGIC??? DH fills out a lost and found report and heads back to Topsiders feeling betrayed....They were expensive Oakley sunglasses,ones DH uses for work, and now he would be in the Caribbean sun without them....
PIXIE DUST/MAGICAL MOMENT #2 YES ladies and gentleman you need not fear, DH's glasses were turned in about an hour later!!! Now that's some awesome Disney Magic for ya... So after lunch we head down to the Goofy pool to secure a good spot for our DIS meet. My DD had been emailing with another DIS'ers DD for months and they were so excited to meet each other all DD kept asking was WHERE IS M.E.
PIXIE DUST/MAGICAL MOMENT #3

M.E.'s mom finds me in my Lime Green and we exchange smiles and talk about how are daughters are looking forward to meeting each other and low and behold we spot them inline BEHIND EACH OTHER for the Mickey slide, we are screaming like idiots Taylor that's M.E. M.E. that's Taylor, pointing and laughing at the coincidence of them being right next to each other and not knowing it!!!
Down the slide they go and we are finally able to get them to realize who each other is

Day One Continues:
We had a wonderful time at our Dis meet and it was so much fun swapping bracelets for door signs and picking up Fish Extender lists. BUT before long it was time to go to our staterooms and get ready for the attack of the little round orange people

 

[DreamCruiser100]

OUR STATEROOM #8502 VERY FORWARD!!

 

[DreamCruiser100]

After the "How many passengers can we squeeze into one small area under a life boat drill" was over we headed back to the pool to swim and then explore the ship. The time flew by so fast that we even missed the first show, and we have LATE seating. We make it to dinner at Luminere's ( we had LAPL) and already TWO of our tablemates were in their rooms fighting sea sickness. DD got bored and headed to the kid's club before her meal arrived. We had a table for 10, ALL DIS'ers.

DIZZI Family: Lynn and Mike, Joe and Allie - We had an absolute blast with our new Dis friends and our girls became cruise buddies!!

GIZIMOTO Family: Linda and Evan, our excursion buddies and fellow pin trader. A wonderful duo, we enjoyed spending time with!!

Chesire Figment: a Fine Gentleman, knowledgable of all things Disney and very fun to chat with!!

After Dinner Mike and my DH discovered the Cognac and Cigar club on deck 9, and DD discovered you can SWIM till MIDNIGHT!!! all in all it was a VERY BUSY FIRST DAY, and we learned what several experienced DIS'ers had told us YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT ALL!!!

I GOT SICK Sea Sick that is, YEP I HURLED........right at the top of the steps on deck 7 EEEEWWWWW!!! and there were CM's Everywhere making sure I was not SICK SICK, they were polite but definately concerned!!! So I missed the Martini/Scrapbook swap with my DIS pals, and sent DH to drop off my goodies while I laid in the rocking bed....My Room steward was sooo sweet and brought me a fan to put in my face, he said it would help and he was right. I slept from about 4pm till the next morning and was ALL BETTER!!! So as for Day 2 you would have to ask DH cause I was BED BOUND

 

[Babs417]

I felt so bad for you. You did so much

 

[purplepeg]

you poor thing, how unfortunate. I hope it only bothered you that one day keep the updates coming

 

[DreamCruiser100]

Monday!! DAY #2 and boy did I feel better!!! I got up and went up to Topsiders to bring back a good breakfast for DD and thank goodness I was HUNGRY!! all ate breakfast on the verandah and then went to soak up some rays NOT ( the clouds were among us ) and watch DD swim for awhile. DH came to releave me from my parental duties so I could get ready for our DIS T and T. I met up with Kimmie and we got a porter to take all of the treats to Diversions in a LAUNDRY CART!!! yes, we had sooo many treats that we filled the cart LOL, Kimmie bought these great pirate bags for everyone and we along with Kimberly (kchartsf) filled them. The CM's in the bar traded us beverages for candy LOL and we were happy to oblige. I wish I could say that I took pictures but I didn't take a single one It worked out very well and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves ( other than trying to find my room the first few days because the stateroom number changed 3 times
More to come have to go to work
