My Cruise was in Feb 2003.....but the pictures are still worth looking at!

Hello All!

Our family vacation was February 15-22, 2003 on the Magic Western Cruise.

From about this time a year ago up until the day we left, I frequented these boards daily.

I posted my vacation pictures on Sony's ImageStation site

If you have just returned from your trip or if you are goin in the few months, look through these pictures. For me they bring back wonderful memories and a yearning to go again soon.

We will hit WDW this February and maybe do the Cruise again in 2005. I don't know how some of these Dis'ers do it going every year or even twice a year in some cases. It took us a long time to save for the one we went on. But now that we know what to expect, we want to go back even more than ever.

Please view the pictures, I think you will appreciate them.

Teri, just do the registration, it's like 6 fill-ins and a couple check-off boxes, and it's free. No biggie.

Sorry Guys,

I should have mentioned that you need to register. But DMS_cruisers04 is right; it is just a few simple questions to get a user name.

Thanks Again!

Thanks for the pictures. They were great. And, I enjoyed your sense of humor. You are almost as funny as me!

I thought your little girl in the tropical outfit was adorable. The grass skirt was a great idea. Did your wife think of grass skirt? You know, she is one smart lady. But, I bet you already knew that!

Joe,
I really enjoyed looking at your pictures. I have been on 5 Disney cruises and still can't get enough. Glad to see you all had such a good time. I hope they have the celebration dessert when we go, it looked sooooo good.

Hey, great pictures. We're getting closer to our first ever cruise -- Disney Wonder on Feb 12th -- 2004 after 5 nights at the Beach Club Villas.

This will be our first ever visit to FLA in February. Just wondering about what kinds of crowds you had at WDW -- but more importantly -- what about the weather? Looks like it was warm enough to swim on Castaway Cay?

I loved looking at your pictures! Your kids are adorable and look like they had such an amazing time. I'm still shocked that your daughter held a snake around her neck! She is very brave!

Wow!

So many answers to respond to! Thanks to everyone who posted a comment. I will try to answer all your questions here:

takemeaway: The grass skirt was indeed my wife's idea. In fact we also bought our matching hawaiian shirt/dress from a web site out of Hawaii. My wife is very smart and I am glad she was able to make all of these decisions or I would have worn jean shorts to dinner every night.

apulk: We weren't at WDW for very long when we went in February. We went for one day before the cruise and one day after the cruise. We had no issues with crowds when we went, but then we were looking to do only specific attractions, if there was a line we didn't wait. Also, as far as the weather was concerned, we couldn't have had better weather. 90 degrees plus everyday. No fear at all about swimming whether it be at Castaway Cay (which was gorgeous) or Grand Cayman or Cozumél. The great weather was only capped off by the fact that back in Boston they got 22 inches of snow the week we were gone! Woo Hoo!

CRSNDSNY: My daughter is an animal freak. I meant what I said; she would have held more animals but the guy ran out. We suspect she will be the female answer to the Crocodile Hunter when she gets bigger.

CaliforniaDreaming: We used a limo from our home to the airport, so it was a local service in a great big Excursion. Very good service.

Thanks for everyone.
