Welcome home, Patty! I hope you had worlds of at WDW. I've never read a WDW trip report. Will that part be in your trip report? Did you get any of the rain on Friday? It poured buckets minutes after we got home. How are you dogs? I bet you were really happy to see them.
Hayley, we thought we were going to spend time at the adult pool but we didn't. It turned out there were too many other things we wanted to do, and I also think the experience we had on the first day (right after boarding) tainted our enthusiasm for the "Quiet" Cove. We went up to the adult pool to relax but right after we got there a loud party of adults (it was mostly one man in particular) arrived and kind of dominated the pool (not hard since it's so small) and the surrounding space (by way of shouting everything they had to say and making it impossible not to eavesdrop, read or relax). I hope you found the pool area at its more peaceful moments.
Warren said he'd write a trip report for us. He's uploaded the pictures, and now I'm waiting for him to find his Muse. Thanks to Patty, we have pictures of us, instead of me or him but not both, that weren't too bad.
This morning, I took our onboard reservation over to AAA to transfer it to them, and my agent told me I couldn't. (WHAT??) When I expressed my doubt about that since I've done it before and lots of people here have done it as recently as last week, she changed her answer to most of the cruise lines don't allow that but she'd call
DCL and find out. The transfer, of course, is allowable, and the total onboard credit for the two rooms will be 700.00 (200 each room from DCL and 150 each room from AAA). Looks like we have the tips covered.
I really, really loved this cruise. The best part was being totally free to do whatever we wanted and eat anything we wanted to and not have to plan it, implement it, or clean up after it! Second to that but barely less important were dinner (excellent tablemates, great serving team, desert after abstaining from sweets for the past 3 months or so) ,the wonderful time we had at Serenity Bay, seeing both of Michael Harrison's acts (adult and family), being out on the ocean, going scuba diving (Warren) and snorkeling (me) in Nassau, the FE exchange, and especially having brunch with and hanging out with Dale and Patty. Those of the ones I can think of.
to all the new people here. I have been out of the loop a bit as I have been on the Magic for the last 5 days. Despite some quite rough seas at times and a missed Castaway Cay stop, we had a wonderful time. I can't wait to get on the Wonder tomorrow.
I can understand the half way house comment. At least you have another cruise lined up to look forward to though. I really wish we could go next year but we are going to my brother's for Christmas and that will take all our extra money. He lives in Houston and just got pounded by Ike. He is ok though and except for a leak in the roof his house made it out ok. I got little sleep last night because I was very worried about him. He has five dogs and two of them do not get along so they must always be seperated. They have broken out four windows in his home fighting through the windows and he hasn't been able to replace them yet. All I could think of was the wind coming through those broken windows and lifting the roof right off of his house. He said one of his neighbors had a tree go right through the roof of their house and he doesn't know how to get ahold of them since they evcauated. Anyway, enough of that. I haven't unpacked yet either. I slept alot yesterday. I was just so tired. I wrote out a trip report that took me a few hours but just as I was ready to submit it my computer shut down and I lost it. 
My mother was very generous and took all our clothes to wash them so all I have to unpack is FE gifts and bathroom stuff. I'll have to live vicarously through you and your next cruise. hehe It hasn't rained on our side of the coast. Usually with a hurricane close by it sucks all the moisture away. I hope they have good weather. It has been really REALLY hot! Which reminds me, my mother wants to do a DCL cruise over Christmas since it would not be over hurricane season (which I don't mind) and the weather would be nice. I can only imagine how expensive that would be! I am sure it would be very very fun though!
There are a few we don't know who they're from though!!
I can't tell you how many times I heard "Have you seen Hayley"?? 
I'm sorry we missed meeting you but glad you had a fantastic time! Thank you for all of our FE gifts! I'll be glad to hear about your move! Do you like your new home? Excited?
Then we celebrated with champagne in Mizner's Lounge and a Wishes Cruise - it was a really nice day!
. Around 12:15 +/-. As Patty has already said, we are a little beat (but who wasn't). She more then me. I got to go back to bed after i fed the dogs this AM while she stayed up. First i'd like to say i'm sorry we did not get to meet (in alphabetical order) Haley and Els, Tanae and family and Tony and family (sorry if i missed anybody elses name). And "Shout outs" to the following (in alphabetical order) Corrina and Graham, Dawn and family, Karen and family and last but NOT least Monica and Warren(sorry if i missed anybody elses name). You all helped in your own way to make this a VERY memorable cruise and Wedding Vow Renewal
. I trust fun was had by one and all. Patty and i are planning on doing a his and her trip report to give you all both our versions of the same (?) thing. Mine will be more entertaining (hers will probably be more accurate). As a teaser there will be a "Bong" 
and "Dusting" involved
Get your mind right. It's not what you think. 
and strap in for a ride.
. Until then think return trip.
