May 2, 2009~~~Magical MAYniacs!~~~ 7 day Western....Updated, April 3,2009!!

OMG Darlene
That IS my DW, DD, and my bald spot. I can't believe your flash didn't reflect off my head. LOL.
:lmao:

Randy,you are too funny!!!:lmao: Did they have dessert night on the wonder ship? I am doing a 4 night cruise in April. Are most the activities the same like pirate night, etc.? Thanks for your help.:thumbsup2
~Darlene~:dance3:
 
Dave and Beth- We will be at Saratoga Springs July 19-29th. In December we will be at the Animal Kingdom Villas December 20 - Jan.2nd. I would loved to meet up in July!!!!:banana:
Lisa- I saw your husband in the show when he turned into a rabbit. It was so funny!!!!:lmao:
Candis- your photos are amazing. What camera do you use?
There were many people on our ship who did not know there was a dessert night at Lumiere's. Apparently when I spoke to Christian there seemed to be a mistake in the navigator and they forgot to mention it. For those who missed it I am including some photos from that night. Randy, I think I can spot your lovely family in these pictures.:goodvibes

I can't believe I missed this... :( Thanks for sharing the photos, they are the best I've ever seen of the buffet.

Thanks for your compliments (and everyone else's) on my photos. I use a Nikon D90 SLR camera. Its a bit heavy to carry around on vacation but the results are worth it.
 
I have some pictures that I took at the meet-up on the first day. Haven't grabbed them from the camera yet.

For those of you who were there, do you want me to post a link once I get the pix up? Or post a few on this list?

I always worry about privacy on the internet, and personal pictures.

let me know what you all think.

Thanks!

Nice camera, but camera alone does not a photographer make. Your photos are fantastic. Great choice of subject matter and composition!

Fluffycat,

Thank you so much for putting the photos of the dessert buffet ! That night, I was tired, my daugther was already asleep and my husband decided to go and do laudry :confused3 That doesn't happen very often at home, so I asked him why he was deciding at 9:30 at night to do so. He told me that he did not want to fall asleep before the dessert buffet at 11:15pm !!! Our waiter had told us about it. I told him to take the camera and he said no, that he would look like a tourist ! I told him that everybody on the ship was a tourist :rotfl: Anyway, when he came back he said that the camera would not of done it justice. I can see now just how much dessert there was !

Candis, looking at your pictures has me wanting to go back to Grand Cayman Island :cloud9: I am glad that you recognized me and that we got to talk a little ! Your pictures are just gorgeous !:thumbsup2

:yay::dance3::banana::banana:::dance3::yay: HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY DANCE!!! Yes, Yes, we MUST get together for at least a little bit in July! Maybe we could do a character meal or an ice cream sundae or something? Sunday the 26th is Dave's birthday, so we'll be doing something special for that, just not sure what. Know what's really funny? We're at AKL in July and SSR in Dec!!

The photos are awesome! Is there anyone that I can print some? All of my photos have kids making goofy faces....I forgot to stop and take actual photos of the islands and ship. I will make certain to give you credit...actually, it would not be difficult as no one would ever believe that I took the photos myself! No kids in the photos make bunny ears behind someone's head!!!!

My family has no class!:confused3

I just replied to your email... Yes, you can use any of my photos you like :)

Thanks,

Hi everyone! We are finally back home after our week of WDW. I just wanted to say it was a pleasure meetng and cruising with all of you. I also wanted to say thank you for all of the thoughtful fish extender gifts. Amazing stuff! I think that was the highlight of the cruise for my kids. They loved checking it every day. I hope everyone had a wonderful trip!
 
OMG-I am both so glad and so sad I missed the dessert buffet!! It looks beautiful!! I'm sure had I went, I would have brought back an "extra" few items that I wouldn't want!;)

Welcome home Ashlotte! Hope your stay at WDW was wonderful!:woohoo:

I think I have finally gotten my land legs back. I was so glad to read that other people were taking a little while to re-adjust too. For a bit I thought I might be imagining things! I really do miss my sea legs and stopping in different ports and having dinner prepped and served to me and meeting great new people and I think everyone else can fill in several more blanks!!:goodvibes
 
Oh, I forgot! During the Rockin Bar D performance of the ventriliquist (sp?), my DH was chosen to be the dummy, but I missed the whole thing because it was my turn to stay in the room with the sleeping kids. If anyone went and happened to take any pictures, could you please, please post them for me? Thanks! I know it is a long shot, but I thought I'd ask. ;)
 
It's kind of sad our little group is slowing down...:sad2:
Guess that happens when we have to get caught up from vacation!

I wanted to ask if anyone has ever been on one of the Adventures by Disney tours, more specifically the Southwest Splendors tour? Don really wants to try it, and I'm sure since Disney does it it would be nothing short of awesome.

By the way, during my "research" I found out that Disney is having some fantastic incentives for people thinking about joining/upgrading the Disney Vacation Club. I don't know all of the incentives, but I do know they can go up to 2 free Adventures by Disney trips. Just thought I'd pass that along for anyone considering it.:confused3

Hope everyone is doing great and maybe has time for a few posts (hey, what can I say? I hate to see a great thing end! :grouphug:)

Haven't done one, but in 4 years it will be DS's turn for a special trip, and I know that he and his father are thinking about a safari. I know Disney does one, so it might be in our (well, really their) future.

Don't know if you're part of the DVC but we love it, love it, love it. :love: I was strongly considering adding on points at AKV on the cruise, but needing to pay for law school first kept me back. (Can't wait until I graduate ;)) The incentives are good right now, and the benefits are wonderful!

We had a family picture viewing today. What a great trip it was! They all want to go on it now. I even think DH may be interested. :faint:

Adventurelover, it was great meeting you that first day. Wish we'd run into you more. Best wishes to everyone in the group. :grouphug: I hope to see all of you again at Disney or beyond. :thumbsup2
 
Pink elephants-
The African safari looks wonderful, and I also hope to do that one day. Disney just offers so many awesome things to do, it makes it hard to decide!
Hopefully your DH will join you on a cruise one day. Don recently admitted he really didn't want to come on this cruise and was pleasantly surprised that this turned out to be his favorite vacation!:idea:

It was great to meet you too! It added a lot for me to meet all of the great people from the board, almost like getting to know your neighbors!

Best of luck to you finishing school!:wizard:

My DH admitted that it was a hard vacation to beat !! That is what he is saying to everyone !! He is trying to get everyone to go on a Disney Cruise !!! He was ready to book on the ship and I should of let him, now he is saying that he doesn't know if he wants to spend all that money again ! I have a few months to do reverse psychology on him before the next March Break :rotfl:

FANTASTIC BETH!!!!:cool1::banana::dance3: We will definately meet up with you one of those days. My birthday is July 15 and my husband's is the 7th so we need to celebrate with Dave!!! :bday: Email me what day would be good.:grouphug:
I have photos of some of the people from the first day we all met. Should I email the ones in the photos or post?
For anyone thinking about a disney timeshare, I too LOVE having the disney timeshare. It is AWESOME!!! Did anyone read about Disney coming to Maryland? Here is the link... http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2009/...ts-magic-wand-bringing-jobs-and-tourism-doll/

YEAH!! Right here in our neck of the woods! It's all over the local news--I've heard it mentioned 3 days in a row, now. They keep comparing it to the new resort Disney is building in Hawaii, which will include DVC villas. Makes me wonder if the new place in MD will have a DVC area, as well. Sure would make it a lot easier on DVCers to come visit Washington, DC!

That's great that he enjoyed the cruise so much! Just keep showing him those pictures and he'll book it!! :rolleyes1
I don't know when we'll cruise again, but I'm pretty sure Don will want to go with Disney. He's telling everyone about it, too!pirate:
