[DisneyJenn23]

I love reading your report!! It makes me want to be back on the ship! Sara and I had such a great time!

I love the pic of all the DIS friends! We really had some nice people on the ship with us! It was great to be able to see people different places and hang out!

Sounds like a great last day, looks like you and Bobby both got some sun that day!

Also glad to hear your WDW trip was great, looking forward to that TR.

thanks for reading! yes we did end up getting a lot of sun, maybe a little too much!

the alarm went off WAY too early, but luckily since Disney basically forces you to pack the night before, it didn't take us long. I was petrified of forgetting to have clothes to wear the next day so i checked 3 times to make sure I had clothes.
breakfast was very early, so we headed to animators half asleep!

breakfast was pretty fast, felt kind of rushed, so we ate, walked to the lobby and were kind of like..."ok...I guess we get off now..." lol! It was sort of odd! the banner made me sad

I was honestly dreading getting off the boat. The only other cruise I have taken was carnival and we stood in line FOREVER trying to get off the boat and through customs, so I was VERY shocked when t was SO EASY! we told the luggage guy what section our stuff was in, he got it, dad and I got the car, and we were out! wow all in under 15 minutes, loved it! Gold start for Disney on that one!

As we left the lot, I was sad, but at the same time, I knew we still had two nights at the Wilderness lodge on the concierge floor so i was excited for that! We waved bye bye to the mickey boat until next year

I have a few pictures/stories from our 2 nights at WL, should I just tack them on to the end of this report right here?

[Cheryl726]

Ok so we were so happy with the debarking process, so smooth! we drove BACK to DIsneyworld for our 2 nights at the Wilderness Lodge. My parents stayed here last December, but I never had so I was excited to try somewhere new!

When we got to WL we figured our rooms wouldnt be ready, it was only 8:45 or 9:00, but it was! they ahd us in conencting rooms which was nice. we got our luggage out of the car and brought it up!

our view

it was still so early, guess what we did?
Ate breakfast, again, in the concierge lounge lol!

i'm not sure lol

views from the lounge

after breakfast, we took the boat to the Magic Kingdom!

 

[heatherlynn444]

[heatherlynn444]

we got to the MK and it was really really hot outside!

you can see the sweat on my poor dad's shirt

It was also kinda crowded. We rode a couple of ride, haunted mansion, pirates, maybe a couple others, and got some lunch at Cosmic Rays which was packed! We were eating, and we were so tired form the cruise we decided to go back to the hotel.
look at this giant dark cloud that came up!

we knew a big summer storm was coming up by the looks of the radar on my iphone, a bad one, with a lot of red on the radar! We decided it was time to ehad to the boat. We go to get in line and there are a million people in line! Then it started to pour, so we couldn't go to the busses, we were stuck waiting for the boat!
There was a ton of lightning and wind, it was pretty scary!
we finally get on the boat and bobby is against the side and I am next to him with someone next to me. well, I picked a bad row because we were right where the dip in the roof of the boat/fabic is and the water was POURING in on us. At first it was just plain miserable but then it was just so awful it was comical and we were laughing hysterically and everyone on the boat was laughing at us! my cheeks were hurting so bad we were laughing so hard!
don't know if you can tell but we are soaked!

we finally turned and it wasn't as bad but damage was done, we were soaked. We got back to WL and then had to run all the way back to the building in the rain. We grabbed some towels from the pool and went in a side door
HAHAHA

up next....one more day at WL

 

[Cheryl726]

We stayed at WL for our first family trip in '04-loved it! Nice continuation of your TR and great pics!

Awesome TR!!!! We're staying at POR before a 5 night double dip in December so this was really helpful!!!!

Could you explain how you made those great shirts you wore on the day you got on the ship? I am craft-challenged. I would love to try to make some for my kids!

I had someone form the design board make our names into the characters, then I printed them on iron on transfer paper from my printer, then ironed them onto white shirts, wala! so easy! they usually come with directios or you can find some on the design board!
