Good Morning All,
Two days!!!!!!!! The weather is looking up Iam not sure who is more excited the kids or me??? See you all on deck . D&A

 

[MickeyMagic]

Ready to go!!!! I spent last night packing and sure hope I have everything. Suitcases are plumb full!! What are we going to do if we buy anything?

Work got crazy busy this week, which always seems to happen when I am leaving on a trip and have a ton of things to get done.

We are heading to WDW tonight. Working another 3.5 hours and then off to pick up my DD16 at school and head to the airport.

Of course, we are supposed to get snow today and we are racing the weather to get out of here. The snow is supposed to start between 2 and 3 and our flight isn't until 5, so I hope the snow stalls a bit and we get out of here!!! We connect in Chicago and they are supposed to get snow tonight. That airport doesn't seem to do well with snow.

Please send pixie dust that we make it to Orlando in spite of the forecasts!

Planning a day at Epcot tomorrow and then Sunday, off to our WONDERful cruise!!! See you all there!

 

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

We're a little fearful of getting out of Ohio...we're suppoed to get 3-5 inches tomorrow morning, and our flight leaves at 11:00 a.m.!

JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE!

 

[PenguinsFeather]

I'm sure everyone else is at WDW, on their way or in bed! I am almost done packing. Can't wait to get there! See everyone on Sunday afternoon by the pool.

 

[BrettySpaghetti]

It's 12:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. I'm in the Wonder's internet center. Where is everybody?!!!!!

Just got home...left 80 degrees in Florida to come home to a 45 degree house. ACK!

at least my sister came to turn the heat up, but it wasn't getting warm fast enough. I didn't care, I had a burst of energy and got me and the kids unpacked. THen I passed out cold. The bad part is that I had to get up early! Tom had work and the kids had school!
Poor Jason has a head cold. He had a HORRIBLE flight home. He is so miserable right now. I know Ron is feeling pretty bad too.
I still feel the swaying of the ship now and then....lol.
I have all my laundry almost done. All my goodies from the trip are all sorted and put away...waiting to go into the scrapbook.
I'm waiting for Tom to get my pics off the laptop and onto my computer so I can start sorting through them.
I have all of Sue's pics and I checked out the photopass pics too! COOL!!!
I"m going to be scrapbooking this trip FOREVER!!! It will take me that long to recover.
I loved the whole experience, even though at times it did seem overwhelming.
I was really surprised at how small the rooms were. But we managed. Once we got everything unpacked, it was fine. Bringing the stroller was a waste, but we had no choice. We needed it for the parks anyway.
Sad we never managed to meet up with everyone from the disboards. Never even got one pic of the ones we did meet..
I guess that just means we have to do it again....someday....!!!!

Bringing the stroller was a waste, but we had no choice. We needed it for the parks anyway.

If you do this over again, and I daresay you will ... you might consider simply renting strollers at the park.

Just got home...left 80 degrees in Florida to come home to a 45 degree house. ACK!

House was fine when I got home...but my bedroom was cold! Had my cleaning lady come and take care of the house when I was gone....have one to many cats and didn't want to find small surprises everywhere.

She is here today cleaning up and doing my laundry....I'm too tired to do anything.

I went to work yesterday....walked in to get a voice mail from my boss saying she is very happy I'm back and she really missed me.....was very nice!

The cruise was wonderful.....but a little overwhelming.....kids are already nagging me when are we booking the next cruise...LOL.

I do want to go back.....and there are a few things that I will do differently....like not going out drinking with Wendy and Ron the day before we hit Castaway Cay. However, I wasn't impressed with CC anyway.

 

[SCQ86]

Just looked at the bounceback offer.....I'm ready to book.....anyone else joining me????

 

[Alice_on_WONDERland]

Yep, we're "bouncing back"! Can't wait. We're thinking of going in August for our son's birthday.

How can I get the cleaning-lady hook up?!

Sue, you weren't impressed with CC???!!! Why? Please tell!

 

[disneydarling07]

She couldn't enjoy it cuz Ron tried to kill her with one hell of a Bahama Mama the night before!

I would like to do just the cruise but DH is really pushing to do the parks again too. I would love to go back to the parks too, but I would rather separate them and have more energy to enjoy the cruise.

We have a month to decide....but it looks like we are sold too!

 

[MickeyMagic]

Got home with about a 3 hour delay due to a snowstorm in MN. It had hardly snowed at all for about the past month and then it snowed the day we left and the day we came back!

We are looking at doing the $99 bounceback cruise either August 27 or early November. August would probably work out better schedule-wise, but it is in prime hurricane season! I don't know about getting insurance; it will probably cost more than the cruise!

THANKS ALL for the FE gifts!!! It was our first time doing an FE and we really enjoyed it! So much fun coming back to the room and finding goodies in our FE. Thanks also for the special birthday presents for DD17!!

Sorry, I didn't make it to the 2nd meet. I totally forgot about it! After the pirate party, I hit the sack! I don't know what it is about cruises, but I am pretty much shot after about 10:30. Nice meeting some of the DISers at the first meet at the sailaway party!

 

[SCQ86]

She couldn't enjoy it cuz Ron tried to kill her with one hell of a Bahama Mama the night before!

Yep....I blame Ron too. I was literally face down on the beach....first open spot on the beach and I laid my big **** face down!!! Didn't move at all, maybe just to get a sip from my water.

Did decide after 2 hours that I had enough sun and it was back on the boat. However....I was never a beach person....never been, never will be. Now give me splash mountain in the middle of CC and now you are talking my language.

Kids want to do the cruise again....of course with Wendy & Ron's family. But hey if any one else would like join us again....I'd welcome the crowd!!!

On a different note....did anyone else order water when they came on board....did you get charge for your water????

 

[D&Asailtoday]

Thank you all for all the gifts. Sorry we did't make the meet's .We arrived late to the port ate,than it was time for the drill. Hope everyone had a great time and returned home safe.Our Grandkids left last night we are wiped out.2 weeks till more company.hope you liked our gifts? D&A

 

[disneydarling07]

I loved everything in the FE's. I loved coming back to the room and finding a new surprise. The kids loved it too!
The hardest part was finding room in the suitcases to bring it all home...lol.
