February 5, 2011 Western Carribean **Cruise Meet **

[Geodoc]

We are approx 24 from GO time. Chicago looks like it's back in business so hopefully flights go as planned.
Safe travels to everyone .......see you on board the Magic!!!

 

[DVCkidsMOM]

We are in Cape Canaveral. We used the alternate route as recommended here and it worked just great. We're at the Country Inn & Suites and are booked on the 10 a.m. shuttle to the port. WooHooo.
We're so glad we added a space themed "field trip" onto this cruise so we left before the crazy weather in time to see Stennis and Kennedy space centers. SAFE TRAVELS to all.
Didn't get the lime green decoration onto the visors I was going to force the family to wear. They bought Perry the Platypus T's on sale just before we left so we'll be the family in bright teal - 3 with platypus faces and me in similar color. Someone might be escorting my parents on the ship tour but most of us plan to make the meet. (Parents first ocean cruise since before I was born...)
Geodoc, DH of Purplepeg - I tried to send a PM asking if there is a group going geocaching?
less than 40 hours!!!

We have printed ad loaded a lot of caches in our gps. We will be boarding in about an hour. Can't believe the cruise is finally happening.

Been home since 10:00 and I still feel the swaying of the boat. What an amazing trip. Glad we booked our next cruise. 363 days until we are back on board!

Cuban refugees!!

Great Fe exchange!

 

[ltzol]

We are still feeling the boat too.

What a wonderful trip. Perfect weather - we couldn't have asked for more.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the FE - my kids loved their gifts!

 

[Lake_Mary]

Anyone else rebook onboard?

 

[Mommy Poppins]

I dropped a card in the box at the end of the cruise for a quote/more info but did not actually book yet.

Thank you everyone for all of the great FE gifts and awesome magnets. We had a great time with our group of 42 and it was nice meeting some super nice Disers as well!

Anyone else rebook onboard?

Were there any discounts for doing that on board?

 

[CanadianDisneyDad]

g'day!!!

Been home now just over 24 hours and missing it A TON. Waited for our servers last nigth and nothing...this morngin i was the stateroom boy....not liking that!!

Was a fantastic trip!!! tons of pictures and more memories to look back on. We just talked this morning and we totally forgot to rebook onboard so we will lose the onboard discount but however more discounts avaiabvle.

cheers and was great to meet you all

 

[Mommy Poppins]

Were there any discounts for doing that on board?

I believe the onboard booking discount is 10%, plus a $200 stateroom credit and you only have to pay 50% of the normal deposit.

 

[ltzol]

We didn't rebook on board - so sorry now that we didn't.

Now that PCD (post cruise depression) is setting in, I need a new trip to plan!

I'm with you!!!!!! We spend so much time planning the cruise, excursions, magnets then a fabulous week aboard the ship, well for us it was booked 2 years ago but had to shift due to another cruise so have been looking forward to this for a year and then all of a sudden BOOM its over...........

It definately is a hard comedown (for me)..........but tons of memories.......

cheers

 

[Mommy Poppins]

Don't you hate when you get home and realize that you didn't actually buy what you thought you bought in the shops. I was positive I bought a sweatshirt but obviously did not!!!!

 

[Geodoc]

Yep it's hard being back in the real world.....I miss my bacon and eggs for breakfast!!!! This morning my youngest asked if we were going to the pool this afternoon like we did every day on the ship!!!

Thanks to everyone for the Dis meet, the FE exchanges and the magnet exchange.

We had a blast on this voyage and will for sure do it again......sadly we didn't book the next one on board either.

Until next time!!

Geodoc and Purplepeg

Hi everyone, I know this is a long shot, but i figured it couldnt hurt to ask... we just returned from disney last night, and i think someone accidently grabed our bag by mistake after getting off of our parking shuttle. Can you please ask any of your friends if they fit the bill..... they would have flown into pittsburgh leaving orlando at 8:20pm last night feb 13th. it was our 4 year old daughters bag with all of the souviners she bought with her own money.... im devistated, and trying not to tell her just yet....

thanks

Hi! I know this is a long shot but it is worth a try! There was a family of about 5-7 people on a Charlie Brown Shuttle with us last night on our return flight from Disney.... I think they accidently grabed one of our bags. They had disney dream inagural hoddies on there was a young boy about 8 or 9 (who got sick when the plane landed) a daughter, their mom, and some other older family memebers. the flight was from 8:20 out of orlando to pittsburgh. I had a disney duffel bag that was the promotional item with our daughters souviners in it.... and it is missing. it made it on to the shuttle with us, and not into our truck. I know this is a super long shot, but i figured it didnt hurt to try, just incase they were DIS members.... please let me know if anyone knows of a pittsburgh family that came home late last night!

Thanks

Natalie

Omg!

I can't believe its all over all ready. Planned this cruise for a year and now its all done. Definately the most enjoyable holiday/cruise we have ever had. Already planning for next year. Feb 5th was our first Disney Cruise but will definately NOT be our last. We have all just arrived back in Ireland today, so glad we had those extra days in Universal Studios to help with the 'Post Disney Cruise Blues'.
Looking forward to next years cruise. Planning to have a bigger group with us then.

 

[paceyswife]

omg...I think you were sitting in front of us at the theater waiting for the tender to Grand Cayman. We chatted a bit. I was with my husband and two boys. Of course, I could be wrong.

Hope that you enjoyed your trip and congrats on your next booking. Although my husband enjoyed himself, I think one DCL cruise was enough for him! The kids and I will definately be working on him though!!

 

[Muskegon78]

Is anyone planning on doing a trip report from our cruise?
