LOL, I know what that is like

where is the privacy curtain in this room????

All the differently arranged staterooms that I have seen don't have privacy curtains.

Only 12 times

Everybody was going on the Aquaduck



Really? You had time to ride? Looks like you spent your whole time taking pictures and videos to share!! Was it really a longer ride for single riders (from one of your pictures of the sign)? I will be travelling with my 2 dd's and would like to go back to back. Thanks by the way for the awesome report! It has been sooooo helpful!

I got the video but I can't see it, was there a part that tells you how to get the plug in to see it on a mac?

Yes, I had some time to enjoy myself The two times I rode (CC day and Pirate Night) there were only a few other people riding so I don't really know if it's longer for single riders during the busy times.

We lowly Canucks don't have 4G yet...think Telus just rolled it out down east but I am way over here in the west by the Rockies

I know someone who can help you out with that cruise

Once you cruise though....a WDW trip will never be enough

Properly warned, ye be, says I

Wow. Just fabulous photos. Thanks so much for sharing all of them. I've been motivated to do nothing else since I found this great thread!

Of all your photos, is there any chance that you got pictures of the queue that leads up to the Aquaduck ... that has those 4 or 5 cartoon art panels of Donald's nephews building the Aquaduck? I'm trying to find some good, straight ahead/forward facing photos (photos taken from directly straight in front of) of those cartoons. I'd love see them if you got any!!!

Thanks again for the great pictures!

Cass - Thanks a million for all of the great photos and the video. My daughter (10) watched your video with me last night. We are both even more excited about our upcoming cruise than ever.

Thanks again!

 

[ashman]

Thank you for the video! I watched it with my family yesterday. When it started and the Dream was on the screen my girls they gasped a the same time. One said, "It's soooo beautiful!" At the same time, the other one said, "That's OUR ship!" Good times, much thanks.

Sorry, I didn't The only time I was up there was to actually ride the AD and I did not have my camera for obvious reasons. When it's not operating, they have a gate at the bottom of the stairs so it wouldn't be an easy photo to get. They were cute little cartoons though

Awww what a great moment Glad you all enjoyed seeing "your ship"

 

[jenseib]

Are you allowed to take a waterproof camera on the aqua duck?

 

[disneychic]

Amazing review/TR! Thank you for putting so much time into it, it was FANTASTIC!

 

[Crustysgirl]

Okay, so I am finally finishing reading your trip report sorry I'm so slow... Anyways Castaway Cay looks beautiful I so want to go there.

Those cabanas look awesome too, but I doubt I would ever pay $499! That's outrageous! But similar to the Grand Wailea and cabanas at nice hotels in vegas.

I cannot not believe those trainer women in the cabanas! Some people are so thick! I also cannot believe that she was such a b&%#h to you. I can't imagine posting a picture of random person on the internet after they asked me not to. How rude!!

 

[Crustysgirl]

I love the princesses!! I would love to do that job, hug all the little kids with their enamoured little faces, let little ones grab my ****s... It would be awesome!

I can totally see why you missed Kira so much, she would have loved to have all those princesses in one place at the same time!
