Love them!
See, you don't have fireworks either. Why'd they take away the fireworks?!?

Oh well, I guess the important part is that it says "it's time!"
This is too cute! I think I need this when I cruise!
My sister found bugs in her DD5's bed this morning.
That totally sounds like something I would do with my mom.I kept thanking mom for such a great trip that hadn't even begun yet.
Just curious, did sea sickness get to you? It really got to me after CC.Port Arrival!
(March 13, 2017)
*Happy Saturday friends!! Feeling a little blue today...my sister/bff, plus my roommate, and friend are all on cruises right now and I'm not! My sister found bugs in her DD5's bed this morning. DCL did a great guest recovery..helped move their luggage, laundered everything that might be contaminated and upgraded their 2 rooms which were standard inside rooms to cat. 7A rooms! They also sent a gift package to the room. I can't imagine it being my first DCL cruise and have this! I told her if she does a TR it needs to be called, "The April Fools Joke that was NO Joke!!" Anyways..happy weekend everyone!!!*
The alarms were set for 6:45am! I had not slept hardly at all. Turns out sleeping on a cloud the night before a cruise is not so magical after all. By 6:30am, I gave up and got up to shower. Mom got up shortly after I was done. We had decided before bed that we didn't want breakfast at the CSR food court so we chose POP instead!
By 7:50am, we were showered, packed, and ready to go! We almost forgot to attach the DCL tags before we put the bags in the car. We left the resort right on time! We got to POP and decided on Mickey Waffles. I thought I had taken a pic but I guess not...
Around 8:30-8:40am, we were ready to hit the road!
The drive to PC was easy and not a lot of traffic..I was thankful for that! Before too long, we were getting close!!
I literally cried as we got closer! I kept thanking mom for such a great trip that hadn't even begun yet. Don't get me wrong, its wonderful living in Orlando and having the theme parks in your back yard but that becomes your vacations quite often too! I was so excited to be getting away with the same level of service!
We pulled up to find no line at all and were directed to #5. There were several shuttles dropping off so we had to wait a few mins for a porter to take our bags and then we were on the way!
We pre-paid parking, it was quick and easy and parked on level 3. I re-parked the car 3x bc I kept thinking I was too close to the car next to me.haahaa!!!
The line hadn't opened yet but wasn't long either. Around 10:15am, the line opened and we were on our way!
We got in the terminal and there was no line for the CC check-in. We were given our boarding number...2!!!!!, our room keys, lanyards (mom's first official CC one!) and the Navigator. We also got our dining rotation which was..ERRA. I had requested EAAR but this was close enough! Now the wait to see who we'd be dining with!!!
After a potty stop, we got in line for Mickey! We chatted up the mother-daughter duo in front of us. The little girl asked if I wanted a pic of her magic band! Out of curiosity, I wondered what their dining rotation was..it wasn't ours but how funny had it been and if they had bene our tablemates!
The pic was our top 3 fav of the trip and we bought it!
After the Mickey pic, we walked towards the penny machines to get my niece pressed pennies since they were cruising out of Miami...(she's the poor little one with the bugs in her bed this morning!)
We then decided to walk outside to get some pics. It was getting super busy and people were smoking so we snapped pics quickly and went back inside.
Back inside the crowds had formed. The kids club line was past the bathroom area but they were close to boarding time.
We stood near the roped off area and I asked mom to take a pic of me with the ears in the background. The CM lifted the gate and told us to come in for a pic. Apparently it's rare that they do that unless your family of the day. We weren't family of the day but we were special!
Finally at 11:20am they began boarding! The mom and her daughter were in group 2 as well so we chatted some more! They were in front of us to board. We did the arrival pic without a wait and then made our way onto the beautiful Disney Dream! By 11:30am we were on the ship!!!
VACATION HAS BEGUN!!!!
Eeek I would freak if I found bugs in my dd's bed. Glad DCL made it right though! Enjoying your TR!
That totally sounds like something I would do with my mom.
Wow nice and early! What was your PAT?
Just curious, did sea sickness get to you
Just curious, did sea sickness get to you? It really got to me after CC.
It's a true sit down meal and we found it very relaxing. Glad the rest of the boarding period went well though.I think next time I'd like to try EG though for a change.
