Bye everyone! The long journey from California to Florida starts in just an hour. It'll be the longest flight of my life!

See you all in 48 hours!

We leave first thing in the morning, so this will probably be my last post for a while. I wanted to share with you all our door signs, so you'll recognize our room if you pass it by.

Have a safe trip and see you all on Saturday!

It is not a banana hammock! It was more of a grape smuggler....

Wow, I thought I was the only one still here! It is nice to see I am not the only one not on vacation yet.

I have one suitcase packed and one more to go but I think that will will go much easier.

It's a little late for this cruise but the AAA magazine I got this week had a
Cruiser garment bag for $99.95. I went to get it today and it is nice! It held 10 ladies shirts, 6 men's shirts, his suit, my suit, 4 pairs of shoes and my over the door hanger and still has room! I am waiting to see how much fits in the other suticase before I put more in it. I feel like it is a bargain, it is one wheels and has a tall handle. I am old enough that my last garment bag is too short and has to be carried!

I just can't stand for us to drop off the second page but I know we will, another era over...

Hi Everyone,,


We just got back this morning to good old Fort Lauderdale/Miami. I am sooo missing the Magic. It was great meeting some of you all. Now that we are home, we are pleasantly exhausted and just looking at each other and doing that .....sigh. I will check in later and give my little detailed report.

Is anybody doing a trip report? It'll be fun to hear how everyone's experience went. I'm thinking of doing one.....I'm not sure if I should do it as a daily blog, or just a rundown of what was awesome and what wasn't. We had a blast!

Gosh, Emily, you are on here quick! You must have had a long trip home, how was your flight? I am thinking of a TR but there are so many great ones I am feeling the pressure not to because I can't write like they do.

I'll bet I was the first one home, would you believe we made it here at 10 AM?!

Disney has the quickest and best debarkation procedure I have ever seen. We had breakfast at Lumiere's, bathroom break and we were on the road! And can I tell you if you drive to the port the parking is the closest ever too! We were sorry for it to end, but if it had to it is nice that the process was not prolonged!

I've actually started a trip report. I can't figure out the posting of photos yet though. Anyone know how? My trip report is in the "trip reports" of course, under april 28th-may5th.

Hello to everyone we met. We arrived home today after spending Saturday at MGM and DTD and Sunday morning at EPCOT (just had to see the NEMO ride). I am in a state of shock to be home. We booked this cruise 18 months ago and I can't believe it is over. I so want to book another, I even had my kids telling their daddy that they wanted to go another cruise.

It was so nice to meet everyone and put faces with the screen names.

Now onto the laundry.....

You would need to upload the photos to a photo-hosting site like photobucket.com. Then you can create the links to your photos in your TR.

I've read so many great TRs that I don't feel worthy to write one (or two, if I do one for our Western in March) of my own.

Everything went smoothly for us, too, until the road part...

Yes, that's our bus on the side of the highway. Fortunately, Disney sent another, and that's DS and DW walking the the second bus. All's well that ends well!

We made it home late last night (Sat)....I will never fly back on the day we get back...that was a mistake! We were so exhausted from the trip and then to drive directly to the airport (get lost on those darn toll roads and spend an extra $7.00), get on the plane with 2 whinning little children and then get to LAX to find out that our carseat had not arrived. This happened 2 years ago with American but this time, they didn't have a loner for us. They kids were starving because they didn't have lunch and now it was dinner time and we couldn't go anywhere. I was so ticked that I told American to go to Target and buy us a darn carseat. We tried going back through security to get something to eat (can you imagine..the kids ate on the ship for breakfast which was very little and then only snacky sugary things on the plane). It was 5:30pm our time (which was really 8:30) and we still hadn't eatten. My 20 month old was on a sugar high and 5 hours on the plane seemed like 20!

Anyways, we made it home with a loner carseat (which was the wrong kind but we took it anyway) that just happened to show up around 7pm. They delivered our real one today.

I don't know about you guys, but are you swaying? I've never been like this before but I can't get myself straight! I think the boat swayed more this time than ever before. What do you guys think?

I will post more later on...I'm trying to do laundry.

I am so upset that I didn't get to meet DeloreanGirl and Julia&Nicks mom! Someone said you were on the top deck but we had to run off the early dinner at 5:30. I'm glad I made my rounds during the party!

Oh my goodness! We passed this bus! Oh, I'm sorry it had to be your bus!
