Rob I love that at 11:18 am you were home and starting to unpack. At that time I'm pretty sure we were stopping for our first fill up at the gas station. I'm looking at the mountain of luggage and my poor minivan is in desperate need of a cleaning.

I hope everyone had a great cruise. I know we sure did.

I had a wonderful cruise also! Wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all who participated in the FE!! It was so much fun...even as an adult!!!

I wish I was back on the Dream right now!!!! Anyone else head over to Serenity Bay on Castaway Cay?? It was paradise!!!! Our servers in the dining room were also wonderful and our stateroom attendant was great too! We had an incredible brunch at Palo...A...M...A....Z...I...N....G!! Did anyone see Trevor in the adult only areas?? What a hoot! He was on our Magic cruise in 2010 and were glad to see he moved to the Dream.

 

[SoCaOC-Mom]

I just wanted to thank everyone who also participated in the FE gift exchange. The kids (mine and my friends) really enjoyed it. I think I met Caribear and her daughter when they were handing out a frame

It was nice to meet those of you I did; I wish I had a chance to meet more of you.

I plan to write a trip report when the room stops spinning. After getting off the boat a whole day of travel has it us hard (port to the air port, a 5 hour plane ride across the country and over an hour from LAX to our home in Orange County) . I hope I get my land legs back soon so I can start to unpack.

 

[lianne_0325]

I had a great time with the FE. Wish I would have got to meet some of you but the kids kept bugging me to deliver the items so we ended up delivering our bags during the meet time.

The kids kept getting up and checking the FE. They really enjoyed it. I love all of the items we received.

I hope everyone's key fob's fit them fine. My mom had to sew them for me along with the trim on the totes since I don't have crafty skills. The original directions we found online really made some small ones. So she kept going by judgement on sizes. So we have some that are about an inch smaller than others. I noticed some were pretty loose. I have a thirty-one key fob and seeing on Etsy ones selling for several dollars made me think of the idea of doing that for the exchange. Unfortunately, we are not professionals (we couldn't even find the right size cotton ribbing it called for for the inside) so there were slight differences in the sizes.

Hope everyone enjoyed their vacation as much as we did. I <3'd the character interactions. Running around the parks yesterday and today was difficult after getting off the wonderful vacation we had.

Hey all! Again it was so nice to meet a bunch of you!! We had dinner with Pete and Walter the other night and he will be posting our blog/review on the dis boards. If it is ok with some of you we would like to mention your dis boards names, please let me know if this would be ok? We really did meet a lot of great people!!

It's one of the perks to living in cocoa. Lol.

You can mention me and my companions by either our DIS name or real names
I am looking forward to reading your blog.

 

[lianne_0325]

I'll be interested in reading the blog too. I'd give permission to use our names but we didn't meet anyone so I doubt you need it from us. Man those four nights just flew by. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves.

Our kids loved it and are now looking forward to their next sailing December of 2013. Although I'm sure they would love something sooner. Pesky school interfering with vacation ambitions.

I feel like doing the parks again will be such a pain compared to how relaxing and enjoyable the cruise was. I didn't have the patience for the pushiness of the people in the parks after the cruise. It wasn't as enjoyable as it normally was after the cruise for me anyways.

Hi, we've just got back home.
Thank you for all the cute FE gifts, it was the cruise highlight for our daughter, when she called my mother from Frankfurt airport the first thing she told her was, that she should start buying FE gifts for our 02/13 cruise .
Unfortunately I was was too tired for the meet, I barely made it to the end of the show.
Has anybody of you been to the champagne tasting??? We arrived last and couldn't find our tickets so my husband had to run to guest services to get new ones, maybe somebody noticed us .
We had quite an eventful vacation, first our daughter caught an awful cold on the ship so that we had to go to the doctor on board (very nice, very reassuring, and the medication was really cheap).
And when we went to WDW after the cruise my husband bumped into another car, so we got to meet a sheriff and a state trooper, it was pretty cool, usually we see sheriffs only on TV. Thankfully I'm an insurance freak, so it doesn't cost us anything, neither the accident nor the doctor .

 

[SoCaOC-Mom]

I remember a few people came in a couple minutes late, but the only folks I can say I noticed were the ladies in the wide brim hats because they were sitting kind of close to me.

I can't beleive I missed you. I was wearing black capri pants with a white shirt and red sweater, I also think I was wearing a black fedora.
