July 30, 2010 Mickey's Adventures England to Espana Cruise

..i'm not sure , we like too, we want too, & we have


..2 rooms,.......& others are likely to join us.. :flower3:

[ there's 5 of us]..foremost..my lil'cutie~:angel: , & she is in charge
of all the arrangments....it would be "mutiny"..if i even try...


even hinted ...any suggestions, :rolleyes1 . she is very endearing, and
has lots of friends...& very busy. however, she does not post., no matter
how i try to redirect. then we have 2 college kids. & ...a lil' princess:

.. yes, with the big~age differences~:rolleyes1

..the pc cruise was our 6th. & the first time..i interacted with those

..on the site. we had late seating, with a fellow dis~couple...,

and met alot neat people thru-out the cruise. "we had the time "

of our lives...pixiedust:

* in fact, we would do another in a second!

[ my biggest disappointment...was not finding enough..time to
have met all those great people on the cruise site. * we did
disneyland the day before + time changes..did us in. for the first
3 - days, we slept ..alot. well... ate, alot, too~ :rolleyes1 ]

simply put~ we love what we get out of doing disney cruises!

europe..haven't been since i backpacked & used the youth hostels.
the only fast train i took..was between paris & brussels. "trains"
used to be the best way..to experience europe. if memory serves
me right, one used to be able..to pull the seats.."together"...
a great way..to travel @ night. :thumbsup2


Welcome:dance3: Would you like me to add you all to the list on the 1st page?
 
Yes, Andrew come along. We were yr neighbors on the PC - you had Aly & Aj on one side, and us on the other...Remember, when you apologized (no need) for yr kids being talky one day, we were the family that said we enjoy the accents!
 
Hi all! Just got back from the Western cruise and booked onboard for the 8 night repo. We're trying to decide if we're going to stick with this one or do the 11 night med...or the 11 night southern caribbean christmas cruise. This itinerary does seem very exciting, so we'll see!

I'm a 28 yr old teacher turned stay at home mom to Emilia (4) and Peyton (soon to be 7) and my husband is co-owner of a computer store in our small little town in Western Maryland. I've seen a few others from MD on here...exciting!! :) This 2010 will be our 3rd Dis Cruise so we're still new to everything.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you!! Have a great day!

Welcome! This itinerary is very unusual and interesting, but your other possibilities are good too. You should do a little more research on the ports involved for all 3 cruises you are thinking about and decide which is best for your family. You can't go wrong with a DCL cruise at any rate!

:flower3: to disney fans. sorry, for taking soo long.

..we have went on every cruise we 've booked~sans the

..dummy bookings, :rolleyes1 . so most likely we are going,

:yay: . [ not sure..of the final count..as we have 2 rooms

so far.] so i be "honor" to be included in your lil'group,
except remember..it's my wife..calling the shots, :laughing:

...and...:yay: :thumbsup2 :yay: , be prefect..if we are

lucky enugh...to have andrew..going with us. [ he was on the
pc cruise....and while we didn't get to meet in person, it were
his contributions..on the site...that helped us the most. ]


as for us?....me & my wife..are similar to the dyanmic duo,
trouble..has a way of "funding us"...which sorta goes a long
way..of explaining our kids. :rolleyes1

in real life...she does nuclear med ...& i do mental health. funny
thing, those doing this work..are usually left alone. :laughing:

in reality.., those neglecting their mental~health needs....are
missing out..on alot wonderful things..in life. also alot
of dangerous people..are escaping..detection..by hiding behind
silly acting people.

[ fyi~..on the pc cruise...there were alot..blaming directed @ the
teenagers...i strongly suspected...a few adults. ]

..i was forced..into this line of work..liked 17 years ago. the most
shocking thing...i discovered...how much...the dynamics..enriched
and better my own life. mental issues are in~deeds very concrete
& easy to understand. our profession are trying to reach out into
the community..because quite frankly, our school systems are
failing.


the most shocking..things on the pc cruise..weren't the kids..but
th adults. i couldn't believe..it..when andrew..was "pinned"..by
the walt disney's threater's doors..by the rushing crowds. or a
father..."dunking" his son..@ castaway cay..and nobody helped.

i :love: ..my work. interacting..with others, is what i do. there were
quite a few..comments..made about how som women dressed, and
other intrusive remarks. some saw me as the beast. in reality, they
do not want someone.."pointing out" their true intentions. iam not
very big [ though my 2 sons..are 6'-5 & 6-6, 250lbers. ], and
look like..a cream puff. looks are deceiving. personally, i have
a low tolerance..for those who think they have the right..to hurt
others. some on the pc cruise....:teacher: , the hard ways.


..however, i think...dcl cruises ...are alot fun. and we have never
regretted..a single one. i just don't see the fun...in hurting others.
in fact, those we see often...are putting others down..to feel good
about themselves.

i could be wrong..but i feel one of the most important factor, making up
a sucessful cruise..is not experiencing major problems with transportation.
table mates...can help or hurt the over all experience. [ we prefer
late..& on dcl, that's an advantage]. doing dcl...it pays to pay attention.
..& interact with the crew. there seem to be alot debates..over
dcl's children clubs. "hiding violations and prevention issues". * on the
pc cruise, one guest...was being too intrusive ..toward our daughter.
i used simple limit setting but we did not let her stay or used the clubs,
after that.


we also done..the 11 nighter, southern cruise, 2006. it was a beaute!

..we always enjoyed the disney's production shows. * ya kno?..the
cast..sometimes...like..mingling wth the guests? :hug:

..we are not drinkers..but will sample. we like interacting, and making
new friends. then there's the bonus baby. my wife, :thumbsup2
she's amazing.., since we met..everyone/anyone..meeting her ,
would like to be her friend..then there's me..., lil'grumpy. ha! someone
..has to carry~on..the tradition, by walt ?

....*one of my favorite memory..cam from a table..with a young couple,
new to dcl cruising. if one paid attention, one could "see"..they wanted
to join..in. they were delightful...and had 2 beautiful kids.

...we met..another family..that had too many daughters..& wasn't
able to get those disney's stars [ ally & pj ] 's autopgraphs....for our
daughter, it was about the interacting..so we used guest services
to delivered ..ours. the father..was soo thrilled, he took the time to
track us down...to thanks us. to us, that 's the type od stuff..making
our cruise.

..i had a "nightly routine"...& one night...2 young ladies..stopped
me, " who's after you?!"....they joined me ..in my "pizza raid",
...something,i never got around telling the miss lil'cutie.

* a dcl cruise...to me..isn't about a "must ~do"...everything. rather,
"what are we going to discover this time?"....i've read..to many..doing
things..just to brag..rather than enjoy. some [as noted] to seek
out..and rain..on others' parades. [ ha! i hate working..on vacation..but
...i will]...some like andrew..are sincere and provide outstanding insights,
..& never think twice..helping anyone. i like..meeting those types!

...oh, we think..one of the funnier things..is "dressing up". i may be older,
and smell like "ben gay"...& needing spectales..but , fully~
functioning. & it's neat to show...apprication..to the one..thats been
sharing..my life with . [ not only..is snow white..her favorite..she
could been her. & while...i try to warn..the guests services' supervisor,
she still was :sad: ...when the ship snow white did a special
"meeting+greet"..and hand delivered...(the gift..that had to be delivered
by the wonder)..the day before, pixiedust: . she told..her....i saw the
picture..of you on your pony, your husband right . ]. in the begining,
...she was under the impression.,..that we were meeting her for my
daughter...that snow white, had to pull her aside...& whispered she was
wanting to meet her. when it hit her, let just say..she shocked everyone
around. :goodvibes

what a beast! &..i can growl/sneer too, :cool1:



anyway..those are pretty good examples..how we do dcl cruises,
and how we feel about them. pretty scary, huh? so d.fans?..you might
want..to reconsider adding..our names..is under-stand-able.]

cheers toward..any dcl cruise!
 
'lil grumpy' - I/ we were on PC cruise and didn't notice any of the stuff you are talking about. I did know, bcs my son was in the age group of the trouble makers, that some of the kids were acting up. He told me what they did, and we saw some first hand. Some were out of control, but nothing alarming or unexpected when you take kids 12-14 who have been on this boat quite a few times, make them best friends over night!

Anyway, I am glad I didn't know about the stuff about clothes, or too much intrusiveness, etc. For our family, it was without a doubt the best 2 weeks of our life - I bet these cruises will be great too.

You know, sometimes, for me, its better not to notice things and walk around in a blissful ignorant state. Easy to do on the Magic, not in real life.

I think the staff were unbelievable on that cruise.

There will be less sea days, so less time for mischief from all age groups.

I was on the PC Cruise as well and had a terrific time except for the $$$$ spent at various ports:headache:

At this moment Andrew is not on this cruise unless he changed his mind (It could happen)

But as it is fairly port intensive I have to agree to alot less mischief!

Of Course saying that I am sure that most teens will be up burning the midnight oil, only to awakened in the mornings by there parents for shore excursions!:lmao: :rotfl:

I can hear the screaming now at about 7 or 8 up and down the ship, WAKE UP YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OUT SO LATE!:rotfl: :rotfl: :lmao: :lmao:
 
Rjayl - I am going to start practicing my "WAKE UP YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OUT SO LATE"

Does anyone remember the kids sleeping on the deck early am morning of the PC transit...pretty funny.

My kids were sleeping in our cabin while I was out on the veranda trying to get a picture taken -- which was NOT so funny to me!!!!! They eventually convinced me that our pictures taken by DCL on our veranda would not have been so good -- but I was not happy at the time!;)

Are you talking about when we were going through the Panama Canal?

I had to wake up everyone sometime after 10 made them go out on the Veranda & we got our picture taken from below by the DCL shutters team!
Actualy came out okay though all the kids were in there PJ's!:lmao:

yeah, the photogs were out on the port side early, before the Miraflores locks, maybe 8 or so, and i couldn't get my girls up in time for a picture! Maybe I missed the 10 AM slot or maybe you were starboard????
 
..i hope..i didn't leave he wrong impression. we're still glowing
from..the pc cruise....& all the magic/memories. actually, many of
the comments..were made by others....& did not involved us.

except..2 lil'problems. [ we played it safe, keeping our daughter

...with us].

dear rjayl, ha!..unfor..i kno how you feel....this was the first cruise ,
that we spent over the orginal costs. i don't kno if i saw you, but
i did see alot of the guests having fun..in the adult pool, tossing a ball
and showing..off ,for the ladies...that reminded me..of my younger
days..& i thought pretty :cool2:

* i probably didn't see you..busy making friends..in the "hot tubs".
:thumbsup2

...we had soooo many , great times. it begun with our tablemates &
servers..then "budding up" with next table. they had this darling lil'girl,
...she looked like a princess: ..but "all tomboy!".

..some things..i did..was when i saw..a diser + a clipboard, to write
a greeting, :hippie: . it wasn't until recently..did i hear about som
writing.."nasty-grams". some made complaints..about lack of bathing
suits?..i didn't see, dwats..always..in the wrong place,:laughing: .
but i got to say...after meeting our cpt. jack + wife..i thought were a
very nice couple.

did you guys?...see?...the size..of the croc?...@ the begining of
the canal? :scared1:

do anyone think..ducky williams will do this cruise? * i hope sooo,
he made the cruise..by inspiration!

as a family vacation....we will always cherish..the pc cruise. but i
think...this one is going be just as special.
