New role starts Monday morning bright and early...lol. Our new place is actually right across from Universal (I know the horror, it's not Mickey) but we are about 8 miles to WDW which is great! We moved the DVDs, photos, pins, playstation, etc...tomorrow we move the not so fun stuff, clothes, bathroom stuff, kitchen things, etc.

 

[Tink rules]

New digs and a new role????

Hope it's great!!! Will you be out where we can visit????

Great TR!!! Would love to take the kids in my family but there are 5 of them and they are stretched out all over the country right now...

It's the Big Day!

"Wake up it's time to cruise" I yelled through the house as I woke up to my alarm and went running around like a kid in a candy store. The kiddos were still sleeping and wanted nothing to do with showering and getting ready infact both of them had stayed up till 3am (maybe later, this is when I fell asleep) and now were paying the price with an 8am wake up call.

As I went back into the room to get ready I heard a bang and lost power in my bedroom. But when I went out to the living room the lights were on but I noticed the A/C was off. Weird. So no lights in the bedroom, no A/C, but hey the computer works...lol. Then panic set in... I had yet to pack. Yes people call me Mrs. Procrastination! If there were an award I swear I'd be a repeat winner of said award. So there I am with a flashlight packing my stuff with one hand and talking to the power company on the phone with the other hand. Just as I finished up the power clicked back on "hooray" John shouted as he would be staying home this time and was not looking forward to spending anytime in the heat and without tv whilst we sipped Mojito's and relaxed by the pool. Poor guy.

9:30am rolled around and we headed out. Jen would drop me off first and then follow a bit later. We arrived and happily found out even though it was only 9:45am I was able to check my bags. Yahoo! I headed in and started my day patiently (yeah right) waiting for J & T and the kids to join me. First Jen needed to run to Circuit City to pick up a new 2g SD card so I could take loads and loads of photos, for the DISboards of course. =o)

They showed up around 11:30am or so and quickly checked in and got the kiddos their pagers and bracelets and boarded the ship just past 11:45am. Sadly I couldn't join them till later but I gave them some hints on what to do and we would meet up around 3pm to take an embarkation photo together.

The day needless to say went very slow but three rolled around and off I went, bidding farewell to John and promising to email him each night I headed off to the Wonder. Jacob meet me in the gangway and we took a few photos together before running up to BBB for some lunch.

This would be my second time in BBB, as normally I would go to PC but since it was pretty late BBB was the place to go.

Even though everyone else had eaten lunch already they joined me, hey "why not" it's free, right?!?!

Jacob at BBB, looks thrilled doesn't he?

Jen, Terry and Ana...

I ended up being too excited to eat so I snacked on a few shrimp and a bite of veal before heading out to grab our lifejackets.

We lucked out and had asembly station R which was located inside Animator's Palate, inside = a/c = happy people = no screaming babies...lol. I took Ana and Jacob down while J&T got changed and we planned on meeting up there.

Ana at her first lifeboat drill...

Jacob and Ana, can we go swim yet?

Aunt Dee and Ana hanging out being silly waiting for J&T.

J&T acting silly...

TBC...

I take it that Jacob is in that 'tween stage where it looks cool to look too serious????

Just wait... years from now... he's still remember the trip more than the pics!!!

Great TR!!!

 

[CruisinEars]

Yay! you're back. Enjoyed your last report and am glad I just found this one. Looking forward to more.

Good Luck with the move and new job (err, um..role )

Yes, couldn't be more true. I guess since the last time I went on a long vacation with him he's grown up a bit... No photos sis, no excitement at the shows (atleast that he would admit too), too cool to hang with me (the lab was way cooler), etc. And thanks, I hope you enjoy the rest of our merry adventure.

Thank You! I'm very excited about my new role but also very sad to leave all the great people I worked with. Glad your enjoyed my last one, hope this one lives up to the "hype"...lol. It's taking me awhile due to the move and well I took over 800 photos and videos, so I've got lots of uploading to do.

totally like me, I made a trip report and I didn't finish it because I took a lot of pictures 1000 or something so putting them on photobucket is all I have been doing really

 

[disneypoor]

New role? I must have missed something somewhere. I will definitely miss seeing you at the port. Whatever your new role is--I wish you all the best!

 

[2angelsinheaven]

Promise I'll post some more tomorrow night (Monday), tell then here is a teaser photo....

The second new thing I experienced on my fourth Disney Cruise...=o)

 

[CRSNDSNY]

SUBSCRIBING!!!!

Woo hoo!

 

[mruhaak]

Subscribing! Enjoyed your last trip report!

 

[nanatink]

waiting eagerly for next installment.

 

[mormadsmom]

I can't believe it's been almost 6 months since our cruise on the Magic! At least I get to read these trip reports!

 

[2Princes_&_1Princess]

Reading your TR to get me through until we board in like 5 days!

 

[MB MinnieGirl]

Hey you

So glad I found your TR!! And even more happy that it sounds as though you had a fantastic time on this cruise too!!!!

We have to touch base and catch up. I knew you were moving but leaving the terminal/port! NO NO NO NO.....See I knew WDW would be our choice for next year. No Darlene - no cruise - that's it.

I can't wait to see your pics/videos and read the TR. As crazy as it has been here for me lately and with you moving/unpacking - maybe we will both be finished with our TR's by the holidays.

So glad you had a great time Darlene - NOBODY deserves it better than you!!
