We had a blast on this cruise! Woo hoo! What great weather and a terrific sailing!

Realize I never really checked in that we were home. We are! No time for a real trip report but here are some of my favorite moments from the cruise:

• Seeing the Main Street Electrical Parade again (ok not really cruise related but it was great to see).
• Breakfast at Grills Sunday morning...what a great way to start the cruise.
• The wedding...just beautiful.
• The reception at Outlook Cafe - what a beautiful room.
• The couples spa villa and our hot stone massage. Bliss!
• Adding on 100 points at Aulani...can't wait to stay there.
• Winning a $300 OBC at the DVC presentation on Nassau day.
• Palo dinner with our awesome server Julia!
• Palo brunch with the gang...thanks Virgil!
• The group picture in the atrium...always a favorite DIS activity.
• The wine/cheese party in the Walt Suite. Nice!
• Being the first ones in the water at Serenity Bay and snorkeling with Mark and Frances.

Of course we had a great time doing many other things like our nightly dinners, my morning tea time with Jim and Garry, and getting to see both Toy Story 3 and The Sorcerer's Apprentice. All in all a really great cruise!

I think Virgil summed it up nicely, "Thanks to all the DISers who made this special".

The cruise was fun, but the people made it great.

Amazing cruise ! Had a blast ! Thanks to everyone who did the fish extenders - it was our first time doing them and our DD loved it !

Another Diser asked me what day and time the CClub party was....does anyone remember?

I'm home....seems odd for now. My pain is a lot less intense than it had been, hoping it will get better and better every day. I didn't take any meds yesterday (until bedtime) at all and found out just how bad it can get without them. I wish it hadn't happened, but I still had a good time, and am so glad I got to spend time with all of my old and new friends!

We had a Castaway Cay Party? We did? Really? When???

Stacey - sorry that you are not feeling well....take care of yourself.

Gotta love this....Virgil has that look "I really want to cry, but people are looking at me!"

I was trying so hard not to cry - somebody yelled "Don't cry Virgil" and it made me chuckle and helped me get through it....

Just got home last night (from Florida) and had one hell of a "welcome back" from work today Oh well! It was worth it! Thank you all for making this such a memorable cruise! It was the most amazing time! I enjoyed EVERYTHING! One of my favorite times was meeting all of you. You guys are a GREAT group! I would love to keep in touch! I didn't have time to pick up a copy of the group photo from Shutters so if anyone would be willing to email me a copy I would greatly appreciate it. I had NO IDEA how hectic the last 12 hours on the ship are! So little time! We manage to fit 10 pounds of s#!t in a 5 pound bag in record time so that we could catch the Dreams show. I had a hard time taking that last step off the ship on Friday. Not ready to give it up but so incredibly exhausted. We looked like 3 zombies on the shuttle to the rental car! Bet they see that a lot!
Stacey ~ hope you are feeling better. I am sorry you had to go through that. Alexa sends hugs and Christian's autograph! Not the last part - I don't think you could pry that away from her!but she does send hugs!

What happened with your flights?

 

[MarkRG]

What happened with your flights?

They both got delayed by the weather that was all over the eastern half of the US.

I guess I got out in the nick of time. My only flight delay was one hour in Dallas because they switched us from a larger plane to a smaller one, and had to ask for volunteers to be bumped.

 

[WVMD]

What happened with your flights?

Yea - we got home at 130am.... Since we both worked in the morning... it wasn't a pretty sight. Our flight was actually delayed because a plane had a maintenance issue early in the day and it moved everything else around,.... Oh well....

We had such a blast on this cruise. Here are a few photos:

Thanks to Suzanne (kaizen) for taking this photo for me.

I'm like a walking zombie, too. I'm glad to be home and not pushing myself any more. The pain is only there when I don't take the Vicodin.

Tell Alexa she can always photocopy that autograph for me. KIDDING! But you can tease her by telling her that Christiaan came to talk to me at my dinner table one night!

 

[ldalvarado]

Christian... he was funny. "We just do that to confuse you."

My DDs and I didn't get to hang with the DIS board crew as much as I would have liked, but you guys definitely made the trip fun. This was our first FE and the girls couldn't get enough of it. They especially enjoyed the delivering part of it.

It was hard for us to leave. My little one cried. But we headed to the WDW area for two nights and that helped a bit. This was after we stopped and got new glasses for my oldest after I managed to lose her paid on CC By the time we came home on Sunday, we were ready to be back in Houston.
