March 13th 2011 Fiesta time on the Wonder!

[Euphscott]

I met your wife Dave!
We saw those outfit and recall them!

 

[Euphscott]

We booked for the same cruise, can't wait to see the Fantasy decked out with Christmas decorations. We did the Magic the week after Thanksgiving in 2009 and they really go all out with Christmas decoration.

FYI there is already a thread started for the November 24, 2012 Fantasy Cruise.

We recall hearing you talk about that on the Buccaneer Queen. We were a little surprised to see that it was priced less than the week before Thanksgiving. So we booked it. Not sure how committed we are to keeping it depending on the Magic location, but it does sound like a wonderful trip (and a good time to get some unique Christmas shopping done in Caribbean!).

It was nice to meet a couple of you. I wish I could have met you all, but the family was too excited to sacrifice "Exploration time" in the lounge meeting people.

This was my family, "patiently" waiting to board.

We have not even made it home yet! Our flight out of Burbank was cancelled last night and the earliest any airline out of any of the S. Cal. Airports could get us to Tulsa was late Tuesday night. So, we are in the process of driving cross country. We are currently between Flagstaff and New Mexico. We have had some rough weather for the drive.

Got home yesterday with loads of travel drama. Due to late arrival and color tag snafus with DCL, we missed our time to get our bag checked with airline. So we were faced with decision of abandon bag, or wait for later flights. Sara suggested Ifly home with my daughter so she coudl be in school today.

Sadly - Sara missed 13 flights on standby until finally getting on a flight about an hour ago. What a miserable end to her cruise -I feel horrible and did not sleep throughout the night as I watched her (lack of) progress.

Beyond that - the cruise was wonderful - outstanding memories made and another cruise booked for week following Thanksgiving in 2012 on Fantasy!

Scott, at LAX in the AA gates We heard you and Brooke's name being called over the intercom...but not Sara's so we thought Uh Oh...somethings wrong. Michael and the kids ran into her at the airport a little later and she explained the problems. I never expected her to have to wait through 13 flights though! That is terrible! We loved your family!!! What an ordeal there at the end!

I'm still feeling a little land-sick today. Having it be really windy out doesn't help, since the trees are all moving, too.

That is a cute candid of my hubby and sweet son. I like the impatient look on DH's face and his casual but protective arm around DS.

It was a great cruise huh!!! I wasn't feeling any after effects...and then at work this afternoon looking at my computer monitor I felt the whole room start swaying back and forth. Wierd.

Boy were we tired at work and school today!!

Wow it really sounds like that storm we picked up in the ocean we all followed home. We just got home but we are only 4 hours late from our original time home. We had a great cruise and I want to send an extra special THANK YOU to the Aqua FE group, we really enjoyed all our treasures. We booked the DREAM for next spring break, DH says I can't start counting down but we can't wait. Disney knows how to cruise first class. I need to do trip report because we truly had an amazing cruise and we've cruise on other lines 12 other times. Thank you all for suggestion on this board and sharing your knowledge of Disney cruises. Miss the boat already.

Thank you all for an amazing trip! The crew and guests were all fantastic and I really did have the time of my life. I wish you all the best and hope to see you at sea again soon

Dave! I never even met you one time Bummer.... So glad you all had a great time! Thanks for making the magnets for me

 

[melsherard]

Well, we are one tired bunch, thanks goodness the kids did not have school today. We did not get home till after 3 this morning, as our flight out of LA was 2.5 hours delayed! Thanks goodness we were able to hang out with melsherard's family, since we were on the same flight.

Had a GREAT cruise and our next one can't come fast enough! Maiden Christmas decorated cruise on the Fantasy, November 2012!!

It was great to meet so many of you all!

We had a great time traveling with you guys! How late did you sleep on Monday??? We were in bed until 11am

 

[melsherard]

Ok, worse trip yet.

Our Delta flight boarded, then made an announcement that a part was broken on the plane and they needed us to get off. Ok, so we will wait.....they can't get the part in, and all flits are overbooked for the rest of the day...
Oh no! We won't make our connection! They put us in a cab and an hour and a half later we are at the Rochester airport. Flight to Chicago at 7 pm, then our flight to LA at 9 pm. That means we get in at midnight

That is IF we make our flights tonight....
So we have been out since 8 am and have not flown yet.
Kids have been amazing, but I am losing my patience.
I need a little Mickey Mouse.....
Hope we get there tomorrow!

Did you make it????

 

[scott_twinsmom]

We had a great time traveling with you guys! How late did you sleep on Monday??? We were in bed until 11am

Myself (Chris) had an eye appointment at 9:30 so I was up at 9. Teresa got up while I was gone and went to work about 10:30. Trent and Tagen got up about the time Teresa left and Tory slept till 12:30! Would of loved to sleep in more but it helped to get back on a schedule and not sleep too much.

So did you make it to the zoo?

 

[hopelea]

Wish we could have slept in Monday. Our flight left LAX monday morning at 7:30 AM. We were up at 4:30 AM getting ourselfs to the airport. But we did go to bed really early Sunday night. My dd was asleep in the hotel at 6 PM!!!

Today we are all back on schedule and really tired. I just got home from work and took a 15 minute power nap before my DH gets home from work!

 

[son3disfan]

Did you make it????

Yes!
By the skin of our teeth....
We arrived early Sunday morning.
We had so many "almost" trip nightmares this cruise including ALMOST missing the last tender in Cabo on Friday. Did you hear they left 6 family members behind? We were with the wife and her young baby. So sad. But Disney did not wait. We came within minutes of missing it ourselves.
But it was still an amazing time.
We are on the plane right now back to Buffalo, then over the border to Canada.
we spent 2days at the GC resort in Disney and visited the parks. What horrible weather on Sunday!
I was sorry I didn't get to meet everyone. Meridith, it was great to meet you and share the excursion with you and your family. For those that were held up by our late arrival, I apologize!!

Besides Nov. Did anyone book for next march? We did ( for now) but might move it to new years 2012.

 

[hopelea]

Okay so who was at the 8:15 show when the chairs fell into the audience?? We went to the earlier show. What happened?? I wasn't thrilled with the entertainment this trip. I LOVED Alfred & Seymour!! But the man & woman jugggling duo & German group....didn't like them at all!

I didn't hear anything about anyone being left behind.......give details....son3disfan.....why were you almost late? Was it the 1st stop at Cabo or the 2nd? Glad you made it onboard!!


Off to do more laundry!

We went for a couple of hours... a promise is a promise... lol!!!

We did. We booked for March 11, 2012...next year's Spring Break. MR again on the Wonder. Wanted to do E. Carrib on Magic but the MR was a MUCH better value. Think we'll keep it. We'll just pick different excursions this time. I also have a dummy date already through my prev travel agent. If Galveston comes out...may use the dummy for that...when the remainder of the Wonder and Magic's intineraries and dates are released (Hoping for Galveston)

Also...THANK YOU for all the DISBoarders out there writing Trip Reports. LOVING Them!!!

I'm so glad you made it! Someone had told me that you didn't get on the ship at all

The chairs fell into the audience and hit a woman that I work with... I didn't even know she was on the cruise until we met on the airplane heading home. Her leg was all bruised from the chairs, she was just happy they didn't hit her 5 year old grandaughter who was sitting beside her. She was being transported in both airports by wheelchair.

Thank you to everyone in the Yellow fish extender group, we loved all the treats and gifts. It was such a treat to come back to little treasures every time. DS loved running down the hall to check on the status of his pocket!

We were at the show. We enjoyed the shows except the guys with the chairs. Really not funny. I'm glad that lady is okay.

We too loved doing the Yellow FE. What a cute idea. Thanks for squeezing us in the group.

I plan to do a trip report at some point. We had a horrible return trip. Long story short, rented a car, returned it at Burbank for our flight, 30 mins. before they tell us it is cancelled. Called to rebook, told nothing till Tuesday.

That was not going to work for many reasons. We looked at every option including flying out of or into other airports. No go. Decided to look at a rental car. Rented one, one way, $1200 airline tickets (for 6 of us for that leg of our trip) and $344 car rental plus $300 in gas and 24 hour drive....straight through, we got home to Texas at 9:30pm last night.
