Excuse me, you'll need to see security. What has Mickeystoontown done? Update 3/25x2

[MEK]

All caught up on pictures and updates!

Yeah for arriving and being on the cruise. Too bad the first meal was underwhelming. I hope it gets better fast. Did Hunter ride the aquaduck?

Can't wait to see your room and looking forward to the sail away party!

How does that redneck b-day song go again?

There’s the pelican!

This picture has inspired me to share my very favorite limerick (at least my favorite that I can post on a family board...)

A wondrous bird, the pelican
His beak holds more than his belly can
He holds in his beak
Enough food for a week
I don't know how the hell he can

Welcome aboard!!! Love your pictures of the ship so far. The Disney touches are awesome- the entryway, the bathroom mirrors, the elevator lever.

We sailed out of Port Canaveral once, but I didn't see any of the Nasa buildings. That's cool!

 

[Coconuts]

T-Rex looks mouth watering! We'll have to try for an ADR on our next trip. Glad to finally hear about your cruise. I can't wait to hear the details since we'll be on our first cruise in a very short time.

 

[RachVH]

Yay you are on the ship! Can't wait to hear all about it!

 

[francis6306]

I can't wait to go on a cruise!!!!!!!! One day!!!

Sorry the first meal was less than wonderful… But I like the little spot you had to sit and chill. Can't wait for more!!

 

[oopsiDAISY]

OMGoodness, Lisa...I am bouncing around in my desk chair just as excited as you were to be boarding that ship! I want to take a cruise so badly!One of these days...

More, bring us more Dream, bring us more food, bring us more ocean views....MORE!!!!!

 

[MissLiz]

I love the pics of the ship from the highway and the terminal! I can't wait to hear more!!

We are booked on the Fantasy for spring break next year and I'm going to be the one who breaks into all out sobs when we walk on that ship. I've been wanting to go on a Disney cruise for years.

Sorry you weren't impressed with the buffet food. I find that I'm never really excited with the food on the buffets on our cruises. It doesn't matter which cruise line we are on.

 

[Caretames1]

Florida tolls are ridiculous (and I thought Illinois was bad!)

Illinois are bad! I have a big baggie of change every time I go to visit my sister. I think I'll leave the driving to Disney!





YAY, you're on the ship! I would look all "country come to town" myself! Just slack-jawed and staring.

Sorry the food wasn't all that, but good desert trumps all!


Love the pelican, when Kadence was little, (littler than she is now) she called them PAL-icans. It was so cute

I got behind - I think disboards was not sending me out any messages! I am going to have to put T-rex on our list for next trip.

I am excited that you started the cruise part of the trip! I hate that you found the food to be lacking - but the night dinners are always the best! Breakfast and lunch I have usually found lacking. I can't wait to read more!!

 

[Darragh]

When we did our cruise/land trip in '06, I remember also being underwhelmed by the buffets but the sit-down restaurants more than made up for it. OMG! So good! And if you didn't like your first choice, they'd bring you something different. This redneck from Ohio isn't used to kinda service. Usually, it's "slap a plate on your table, mumble something incoherent and then never be heard from or seen again". Or not seen until you've been done with your food for a half hour and had to flag down your server three times to get your bill.

 

[Curiouser&curiouser!]

Oh! You are finally on the boat! Yippee! I can't wait to hear more and let's hope the food reviews get better!

 

[Urugami]

Fast forward to May 24, 2012, and we were about to give toll roads another try. Would we somehow take a wrong exit and then end up in Timbuktu or would we make it to Port Canaveral A-Okay? We’d soon see.

OK; I'm still reading this update, but if you got lost on the Bee Line, I'm going to make you turn in your RCA card, y'hear?

ETA: Whew! Good, I didn't think it was possible for anybody to get lost on a straight line drive.

 

[PittypatBR]

I am so excited to hear about the ship! On our HAL cruise to Alaska, the buffet was not the strong suit, but the sit-down restaurant was scrumptious! With a heavy full breakfast from the buffet, and a large dinner at night, we ate very lightly at lunch from the buffet. It was okay, but we didn't want THREE big meals in one day, anyway. The desserts were always good, though, and the bread pudding was to die for! Hope the rest of the meals were better.

 

[AvasMommy526]

Pulling into the terminal is soooo exciting!! Cant wait to hear about the cruise! that stinks about the food though! When we cruised (not on Disney though) the food was excellent, like perfect, so I hope it got better for you!

I hate toll roads, ughhhh, never did that one but we drove down to Maryland and the tolls in Jersey are annoying, on one we kept throwing money in the basket and it wouldn't register it, I must have thrown $5 in a .35 toll lol, people were beeping and I said forget it and just went

 

[jenseib]

T-rex looked great. I am excited to give it a try! Still 4 months to go!

I love the cruise terminal. It's so pretty. Did you visit the bathroom in there? not so magical compared to the rest of the place.

I loved the welcome aboard buffet. It sounds like I had different food than you did though. But as for the shrimp....I have never heard of peel and eat shrimp having spices....so that must be a Louisianna thing. Or those of us in Ohio are just boring. My Mom had that same icecream and she still talks about how good it was. I tried the cookies and cream in Aug and it was really good too.
So the important question needs to be asked.....Did you have a chocolate Chip cookie. If you say you didn't like it...I might have to come there and strangle you! I think I could live on a diet of just those on the ship.

Those coastal people put spices on EVERYTHING!! Cajun seasoning is on a lot of tables right next to the salt and pepper! Eggs… biscuits and gravy… fried chicken… mashed potatoes…

 

[racefanof88]

YAY, We're on the cruise, we're on the cruise . The ship really is pretty!! I can hear Dale now "This place is to fru fru for me"...............

 

[brookelizabeth]

I'm finally caught up! Loving it all of course, and very curious about that trip report title...!

And you say, this is when the underwhelmed feelings started? Does that mean there are more? I hope not!

 

[MrsB1228]

Lovin' your trip report, can't wait for more!
