We're heading over now. DFiance' is in jeans and grey shirt, I'm in jean capri's and red shirt that says "Besitos". Hope to see you all there, this will be our first try at Grill's. If you see us come over and say "hello".

I will have my lime green Verandah Man DISboards t-shirt on, my DW and Dmom will be wearing matching t-shirts like mine. We should be easy to spot!!! LOL!!!

Hi Again D,

It was nice meeting you this evening at Grills, we will be looking for you tomorrow at the teminal. Tomorrow, we actually sail away tomorrow. My mom just gave me our documents, I had better get busy and get them filled so I can get to bed early, yea right, like that is going to happen!!!

"DrCavin" with his family along with "arndtge" and her family met my family at Grills for our mini DISmeet this evening. We all had a nice time meeting and sharing our evening meal. Everyone is so excited about the cruise tomorrow. Sorry, but I didn't get any photos this evening.

I've got to crackin' and get our docs filled out, tomorrow morning will be here before we know it.

Well, here I thought I was ahead of the game...laundry done, packing almost done. Then DH starts packing and can't find his good black slacks. Finally found them...still in his suitcase unwashed from our last cruise. The suitcase is black and he said he couldn't see them because they blended in. I think it's time for someone to get new glasses. So here I am doing one more load of laundry.

Can't wait to meet everyone at the Mickey Pool tomorrow!

Just wanted to wish you all a magical cruise! Here's to great weather and lots of pixie dust it seems like you have a great group going and some very active DISer's... wow over 1,000 posts in a cruise meets thread that's amazing! Have fun everyone can't wait to hear how it all goes. =o)

And to Andy's Mom and Goddaughter Happy Birthday!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

It's here!!!

The day has arrived!!!

We sail away TODAY!!!

 

[ragdoll]

Finally, it's here! Of course I didn't sleep a wink last night and am up super early. Too much excitement and pre travel jitters have set in. DH thinks I'm crazy but I always get nervous before we go on vacation. Once we are in the air I will relax and feel that we are officially on vacation.

Hey Andy, just in case we should be delayed and miss the DIS Meet our room number is 2060. Please give us a call so we can meet you and your family. We should be there but you never know. Our flight may be delayed or the brush fires might delay us.

I am just so happy to be going on my very favorite vacation!

Look forward to meeting everyone.

My mom and I just returned from watching the Magic sail up the Port Canaveral channel. Here is one pic, of many, that I took this morning. I'm so pumped about getting back on the Magic today, I can't even put it into words!!!

Disney Magic Saturday May 13, 2006 5:15am Port Canaveral, Florida

Have a "Magic"al Cruise!

Andy looking forward to seeing your group again if you get the chance.

 

[Verandah Man]

Hi D,

It was fun meeting up with you as well!!! I hope we have the pleasure of meeting again on a future cruise with DCL!!!

My family did have an adventure Saturday morning at the terminal, didn't we??? I'm just so glad I can laugh about it now!!!

It was nice getting to meet many of you before and during the cruise. We arrived home at 10:15 this morning and are still coming to grips that our evening meal was not delivered to our table, and that our drinks were not waiting for us, what's the deal with that anyway???

We had a great week on the Magic, but it is nice to be back on the old "Home Sweet Home" abode!!!

Incase anyone is interested I entered the last entry into My Blog this afternoon.

Now it's time for us to get ready to go back to work/school Monday morning.

Hi everyone! We got home about 5:00pm yesterday and I have been chomping at the bit to get online. I don't know how every DCL cruise can top the previous one but it always does. Number nine was the best yet! Sure was nice getting to meet the DISer's that we met. What a great group of people! It's fun seeing familiar faces throughout the week. Well, back to reality. Wishing everyone a good week filled with great DCL memories.

First of all...We would like to thank all the staff onboard for their kindness and help...specially Roberto & Edgar & Danny our housekeeper. (YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!) and you can bet if you two are available we will request you again on the next cruise. I really enjoyed being with my family and specially with our granddaughters. I guess I will come out of retirement and work on the next cruise as I always say..Thats Classified! LOL...also was a pleasure in meeting all those we met. Also want to thank the Captain for the tour of the bridge that was awsome. Take care all and we wish you all the best.

Well, we missed most of you on the cruise. We arrived home Sat. at 8:00 PM it was a long day of travel and yesterday celebrated our sons 1st communion

We met Hanover, Aquagirl and Jodifla - thats it! Andy, I saw Hazel a couple of times never able to stop and introduce myself always thinking I will see them later somewhere but no luck!

Sarah (Aqualgirl) I think was one of the pictures in the final video! If I am not mistaken she was with her DH! Sarah if you read this was I right?

Its been fun planning with all of you, now off to plan the next trip

We went to MGM after getting off the ship for Star Wars weekend. Us and everyone else! It seemed like a holiday it was so crowded. We ended up going back to the hotel midday for naps and returning for dinner and a cooler evening. We got home yesterday afternoon in time to run and buy cupcakes and head to ds9's elementary school graduation party at the YMCA. Back to the busyness. The boys each have a baseball game tonight so I don't know when we'll get our 11 suitcases unpacked! I think I may just go to a laundramat! I ended up with just over 2,000 digital pictures of our trip (I didn't take any flash pictures during the evening shows....I agree that was annoying Andy).

It was really nice meeting everyone. I can't remember a couple of screen names of some people I met at the Dismeet at the Mickey pool, but I did meet Ragdoll, Verandah Man and Hazel, Cali-mouse, Jodifla, BPD196, Fairy G and another family with 4 kids (sorry I forgot your screen name!). Through out the week we caught up with Hooksenemy, Aquagirl, Littlebunny, Nutz4disney, Dr. Cavin and Huey, Duey and Luey. It was really nice to finally get to put names and faces together. I hope everyone had as good of a time on the cruise as we did. We rebooked for 12/1/2007.

It was great meeting you and your wonderful family, give a big thanks to your mom and dad for the bottle of wine!!! Somehow, I think it got left behind at my mom's house when we dropped her off on Saturday. I'm sure it will still be there the next time we visit her in a few months!!!

I missed it!!! We did not go to the final show, but our table mates said that they saw our pic. I wish we saw the show!!! I think that we bought the picture that they had up during the show. Our table mates said that it was a pirate picture. I will post it later.

It was very nice meeting everyone. I met hooksenemy, hanover, and captain hook. I'm sorry that I missed the dismeet!

 

[hooksenemy]

Sarah,
I think it was the picture of you in front of the white background? It seems to long ago now but I was pretty sure it was you!

Have a good one.

 

[mommom&poppop0304]

I think that sitting out on the Verandah for so long I think I will change my name to Verandah Man 2....LOL....

 

[mommom&poppop0304]

Well I'm already looking into the next cruise for next year. First step for me is the passports in which I will get ASAP! Hey Teri...we haven't heard from you yet...LOL...my daughter must be worn out.
