Sorry guys, did not want to hijack your thread. Appreciate the help from the previous cruisers. 
We ALL had a "Wonder"ful cruise.
It was great seeing the Abbotts and Grandpa throughout the ship. And waving to all the other disers on the cruise.
We won one trophy and medallions for all including Duffy. We were "Duffy's Dude & Dudettes" for one of the contests.
We made sure we did things on the cruise that we hadn't done before.
Diversions was our "go to place". CM Gilbert played "monster" janga with our girls and we all had fun watching the HUGE blocks fall with the smaller janga blocks on the top.
The duo NOT TO MISS was MIDTOWN in the promenade lounge. We danced with them almost every night. The girls loved dancing with their daddy. I loved watching it all.
I hope your cruise was just as "Wonder"ful as ours.
. I think he will join the DIS now too.
We like getting out of town in the dead of winter, so our next trip is Feb 1, 2013- less than a year ! I got mildly sea sick the first night, then just had a "sea-sensation" the rest of the time, until the last night, when it returned to sea-sick. We want to do a longer cruise, but I'm a little nervous about the motion sickness, so we decided to just add one day and see how it goes. I was surprised that Mackenzie didn't really like the clubs as much as we had hoped. The first day ruined it I think. She enjoyed the Club, but not the Lab, and when secured ended for the club they sent her over to the lab. She was not amused. After that she only went to the club when there was something she really wanted to, Do-Si-Do with Snow Whit, and her favorite, the Royal Ball. She spent most of the time in the pool, which was fine by me, I just wanted to sun bath anyway. She isn't a napper anymore, she is almost 8, but we found that having lunch, then going to the room to "rest" every afternoon made her a happier girl at night. She slept every afternoon for about an hour, and most times I did too! She was in bed by 10pm everynight, which made it hard for DH and I to do adult night activities, so we both usually went to bed by 10 also. We're early risers anyway, so it worked out. Elijah is 11 (12 on Friday) and he loved the Edge. The only time I ever saw him was at breakfast and dinner. As for the teens, I was worried they wouldn't enjoy thier club, but the twins (14.5) loved it so much!!!! Caelan who is 1 month from being 17, liked it, but he liked just sun bathing too. He did join in on many of the Vibe things. His complaint was that at his age, he was too old to be swimming in the "kid soup" pool, but not old enough for the adult pool. I completly understand his problem. One afternoon a CM told him to go swim in the adult pool, and he was in heaven! I know this is not the norm, but he was very happy. We are usually pretty strict with curfew, but we let the older kids have some freedom, and they would come in about 1am every night...sometimes they even took their little brother with them, and I love when they do that. I think my kids bonded with each other more on this trip than any other family vacation. We asked the them the last day if they wanted to go to WDW or cruise next year and they all want to cruise again, so I guess it was a success!
: fever, stomach issues and just yucky feeling. 
"Did you go to the club?" 
She freakin woke me up....I got up and shut the sliding door, then I thought of my neighbors and got up and brought her in.... so sorry! I politely just said don't do that again...I like my sleep! LOL 
I, myself, want to put each and every one of them in a keep sake glass cabinet on display forever! Like my Oscar, my Emmy, my Golden Globe or my MTV Spaceman!
I'm working on my DH to go on an Alaskan cruise. The moment I said that, my DS18 yelled "No, that's my college fund". Details, smeashtails. Such a debbie downer. College. I always forget. All you ones with small ones, enjoy. He's my second going off next year so I guess I'm going to look for more KIDS SAIL FREE deals in the future!
