I was wondering that too. I overheard someone say that they felt so sorry for that girl....never heard what actually happened though.

I'm still rocking as well.....guess I should start drinking again.

Thanks everyone for the great magnets. It was a blast doing that. Thanks also to the great fish extender people. Some great stuff (especially the rum. )

I'm home and the good thing is that it is making the cruise seem that much warmer now. Raining and dreary here.... and still cold. ugh. I did not see the helicopter. You are right if they flew someone out it must be serious. I am so not able to work.

I need my land legs back as well. I still feel a bit like this....

I am at the 100 day window to the next cruise!! Just had to say that to rub it in.

I saw that too and thought it very odd (but I couldn't read the name on it). Hope who ever that was is OK.

Hi everyone!

We got back last night. (Sun) Saturday we did a whirlwind tour of WDW. Managed to hit my son's favorites in 3 of the parks before the 10:00 closing of MK!

Thanks for the variety of magnets! That was a lot of fun.

Who ended up with the traveling MICKEY? There were only 3 cabins left when we got it, so hopefully he got to visit everyone. PLEASE post a picture!

Hope to see you again on another cruise. How many of you booked while on board? We did a 7 day for next January and hope to use our $99 voucher in August right before the kids go back to school.

I AM SCHEDULED FOR THE HALF DAY SNORKEL AND BEACH TRIP IN ST. CROIX AND THE CARAMBOLA BEACH BREAK IS OPEN AGAIN, IT HAD BEEN FULL. I CAN'T BOOK BOTH AS THEY OVERLAP. I HEAD THE CARAMBOLA WAS GREAT BUT HAVE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT THE OTHER. I THINK IT WAS CANCELLED THE FIRST ST CROIX GO AROUND. DID ANYONE DO EITHER OF THESE? CAN YOU HELP?
THANS SO MUCH AND I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL TIME!

 

[bwcb4]

We're going to try for the August 13 cruise too! So YES I'll meet you for martini time again!

I checked the DIS thread for the Wonder 8-13-09 sailing and discovered that date is the 10th anniversary of the WONDER. I hope that doesn't make it harder to book. That's the only cruise during the promotion when my older son (in college) could come too. Since he KNEW what he was missing, he was not happy about having to be a good boy and stay in school. We told him to study hard, get a job, save his money and then he can book DCL too!

Hi everyone,

Welcome back!

The traveling Mickey head got to our room just before dinner on Friday night. We signed it but did not get to pass it on to the last room (my sister's family).

We had intended to hand it over on the Saturday morning breakfast but forgot in the commotion of debarking.

I might just mail it to her to complete.

 

[gmark2000]

Wow. The silence is deafening in here.

 

[jezebella]

.......depression...........

Wow. The silence is deafening in here.

Hi there... I guess we're all too tired to write trip reports just yet.
It's really hard to get back to work and "normal" living.
It sucks having to cook, and clean, and punch a clock again.

By the way... think I saw your cabins on the ship.... lots of great magnets!
I did count 3 - 4 of the "taken her to St. Croix" magnets that I got to help develop.

Another downer,... I dropped my digital camera while trying to take a picture of the Welcome Home sign in the atrium! It bounced a half dozen times on the hard floor and refused to work anymore. At least it happened AFTER I took all those 1200+ photos hey!?

 

[CanadianDisneyDad]

just a very depressing time....coming of the cruise and having to make your own bed and cook your own dinner..... /sigh

I miss the Oceaneer Club!!!! (and the servers, room stewards, pool, sun, entertainment, should I go on) We had such a wonderful trip and can't wait to plan another one -- who know when, though.

HI All!! Just wanted to say Thank you for all the great magnets and all the special Birthday magnets for Josh. He was very happy to see them and now he rearranges them every day on our frig. Also a special thank you for the good bag and Birthday gift that so very kind of you! Josh really had a special cruise and Birthday! Mickey kissed Josh 5 times on his head the day of his Birthday his face was priceless. That alone paid for the cruise....and he have a picture of it.
It was great meeting some of you at the Dis meet.....sorry I didn't get to meet all. Did anyone book again on the cruise? We did!! 1/30/2010, but I think we may bump it out. Anyone taking advantage of the 3 day offer? $99 cruise is working for us!! We're planning for December 09 we'll do a few days at Disney then the cruise for 3 it'll be a nice vaca. before the holidays.
Thanks again everyone! It was a blast!
