[Luvin all Disney]

Well I guess it's back to reality We had a great time. Thanks everyone for the great Fish Extender gifts. I will set up a photobucket account for us tomorrow so we could share our pictures. It was nice meeting you all. Hey Marie...how ya feeling

Feeling human again today!! There's nothing like a killer hangover at sea! Now it's on to the laundry.

We had a FABULOUS TIME!! Thanks again to everyone for EVERYTHING!!



Brooklyn: Last night, the song in my head which would NOT go away:

B 11, BB 11 . . . ..

Did anyone go on the Outdoor Adventure in PV? 2 of my kids went but I didn't get any pictures!

We had a super time on our cruise. I didn't get to meet anyone but I was so busy! It was all just magical!

We didnt meet anyone either. We had the intention of doing so, but it never happpened.

The only exception was Brooklyn...nice to meet you and Brooklyn. Thanks for the use of your extra FE. I think I will be asking my mother-in-law to make a few. Maybe even on ebay!

Anyone else besides us book their next cruise while on board?

Hi Everyone! It was so great meeting all of you. We had an INCREDIBLE time.

We booked on board hoping for the Med in 2010. I have been so sad. I miss the ship sooooo much! Brooklyn cried when leaving. Def makes it worth spending all the money to see a reaction like that!!!

Marie, we had such a good time on the last night. I am surprised I was not more hung over. I drank so much in such a short amount of time. It was AWESOME!!!

I just can't wait till the 2010 dates come out!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all of the great gifts from everyone. It was so fun coming back to the room and having full fish extenders each day!!!!

Hi Everybody,
We're back home in Ohio after the red-eye from LAX. We had the most wonderful vacation, and I really want to thank all of you for the amazing fish extender gifts. Our kids were absolutely delighted, and it was so fun to see the creativity and thought that went into the project. We all had such fun with it.

I hope you all had as much fun as we did. I was the one crying in Parrot Cay at late breakfast Sunday... I really want to go back!!!

Cheers, everybody!
Cari

Thanks everyone for adding to our magical memories. The FE gifts were so fun and enjoyed by all. It was wonderful to meet soooo many diser's and to have dinner each night with Brooklyn and her family. Reality hit quickly as we drove home to 100 degree temps and a broken A.C. in the house. My parents had been staying there and just thought there was a problem with the reset and shut it off and opened the windows. We walked into a 92 degree home downstairs For those who don't know, I have M.S. and heat freaks my body out so all I could do for two days was sit in the coolest room until it got fixed. The heat rewires my nerve patterns and my walking abilty gets really bad so going out anywhere was really difficult. I went back to work today but with really numb feet. Hopefully by Thursday I will be back to norm.

Sorcerer Mom DD had a ball with your DD daughter. When it cools down in Vegas, we may have to schedule a shopping trip! Let us know when the photo bucket account is up.

Thanks again everyone. It really was terrific to be part of such a great group!

HI EVERYONE!!!

Getting ready to go back to work tomorrow but wishing I was going to bed being welcomed by a towel animal and reading a navigator then waking up to Brendt telling me what a fantastic day was in store for us! It was truly a magical vacation for my family...thanks in part to all of you. Christine and Joey's surprise was worth waiting for...the look on my kids' and husband's face was priceless. Brooklyn - perhaps he was still in shock at brunch...he really does talk! Thanks to everyone for the wonderful fish extender gifts...it was great getting gifts from your home states and the personalized gifts were so special...we've been enjoying going thru all our loot since we're home. Even tho we were on the ship for 7 days, it sure was hard to fit everything in. I was torn between wanting to be lazy by the pool and going to activities...I have to admit..lazy by the pool won out most times.

Marie! Glad you're on the mend...I feel your pain girlfriend - have been there many times Hope we can get to see you during a trip to Vegas. BTW, DS's pic is in the group photo taken in The Stack on homecoming looking very handsome!

Brooklyn - GREAT to meet you and your family! Anyone who can do shots of Jager on the ocean and live to tell about it is a-okay in my book! Loved seeing Brooklyn in the talent show..she is destined for great things . Be sure to keep us posted on what she's doing okay?! Next time, I don't care if I'm falling asleep at dinner, I am not missing the first night and Magic Quest. I'll have to get Joey to re-enact that one - Christine, break out the yellow shoes! Riiiigggghhhhht!

Dana - I still owe you that drink...sorry we never got to sit, relax and visit...maybe next time or hopefully in Vegas! The invitation is always open! It would be great if you guys could make the trip! Thanks for everything you did. I missed seeing DS4..he is a doll, DS14 is a super kid - you must be so proud of him and we've decided to adopt DD! Hope you're cooling off and feeling better. We were shocked at how hot it was driving home in 109 degree heat. You really feel like you're in another world on the boat.

To all our other DIS friends that we met, even briefly, thanks for making our first DC so special. We booked another on board and I think even my DH is hooked (& that's not easy to do!). Dana, you were right...he's yelling at me to say hello to this one and that one as I'm typing...now he understands why these boards are so addictive.

I got teary taking one last look at the lobby before we stepped outside on Sunday but it was a teeny bit easier leaving knowing we'd be back.

Looking forward to seeing some pics from everyone!

Oh...and a big thanks to the person or people who mentioned bathroom suction hooks! They were so useful! I passed them in Target and bought 4 the night before the cruise.

 

[lvstitch]

OK, our photobucket account is up and running:

Username: portdwellers
password:6152008

I have broken it down by day so it's easy for us the find pictures. I have started coping some of mine. It's real easy if you already have them loaded into your personal account just copy the direct link into the Web URL.

Hi Everyone,

It's Jannine, AirTita's sister.

Thank you ALL so much for making our very first Disney cruise so MAGICAL! My DH John and my DD Liliana had a WONDERFUL time!

It was great to meet so many of you in line at the terminal, smiling and waving around the ship, etc...

Special "hi" to LVStitch and DH! We had a blast swinging through the PV Canopy treetops! Hearing each other scream while we zipped around and surviving the bumpy 1 hour ride each way was a bonding experience!

The FE gifts were so much fun! You all are so GENEROUS! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We hope to sail again...Disney all the way!

 

[AirTita]

OK - kinda computer illiterate but how do you view and or add to photo bucket?
We really enjoyed meeting everyone and wish we could have spent more time together! There was soooo much to do and not enough time!
We didn't book another cruise while on board but....DH is convinced that it is a GREAT cruise and has said that we will be on another Disney Cruise soon; I've even started to browsing for DS's winter and spring breaks next year but the destinations aren't anything new. Want to either do St. Croix or Tortola but the dates aren't working out yet!
Is anyone interested in keeping this thread going as a way to
"check in" with each other? I'll try to log on and see what's going on with you all! Have to say, this was the BEST cruise we've been on and we've done 6 in 3 years so that says something!!!

I think that is a great idea!

 

[gundo870]

I think that is a great idea!

Ditto!

Lets keep this going. I'm sure we all are going on another cruise in the next few years.

Just checking in...I still have company...Mom & DN left to go back to Hawaii on Friday ...I have a cold and DH's favorite cousin and family are coming in today from New Jersey!

I have photo's and will try to upload/add to photobucket hopefully sometime this week!

I cannot say enough how much we enjoyed this cruise and chatting with everyone even if we didn't meet up as much as I would have liked. I think the FE's were a great way to get you caught up in the magic

BTW - the Travel Channel had a special on the Disney Cruise Line and our own dear Cruise Director Brent was on it! I also swear I saw our asst. waiter Kendell as well! Can't believe it's been a week since we left our ship!

Have a great week and a safe 4th!!!

 

[gundo870]

I am uploading a few photos now. I have to sort through 600 pics I took on the cruise.

 

[lvstitch]

Hey everyone I just added to bunch of pictures to each day
