Buuuuuwwaahhhhahahahahahaha...

It's mine, all mine.......

The thread that is - everyone else is gone and I get to clean up, oh well, such is life.

Life of the party that is!

Hope everyone has a safe trip, I've got tons of green beads, so I can hand them out at the party or at the 3:00 meet if I get there in time.

Sea ya real soon!

We're still here, too, but not for much longer!!! Last minute shopping is done, last minute packing (more like organizing at this point) still to be done. I'm so glad we took the day off today!!!

I hope your red-eye is nice and quiet so you can get some sleep on your way!

Can't wait!!!We are so excited!!!

Safe travels everyone!

DD and I both woke up with really bad head colds. I feel crappy so I know she does too. I'm dreading the plane ride this afternoon already! I think we may have to take the Benedryl route with her today Ordinarily, I wouldn't but I can feel pressure in my ears already so I'm pretty sure she will be hurting on the plane.

What a way to start a vacation.

And, I completely forgot to get beads!

Ok, back to packing! Yep, we leave at 12:30 and I still have to finish! Did I mention I'm a big procrastinator?

The whole family is kind of congested too. Good drugs for everyone, and get those earplanes!

I bought a dozen beads, so i'll have extras.

We're almost done packing, then off to school to pick up the kids. Our flight's about 6 tonight. I can't wait! It's so cold here. See everyone tomorrow.

I have changed my carryon 3 times! I was trying to get away small without any luck. Now I am in a true rolling carryon and hoping that regulations on size have not changed. I am so jealous of everyone that is already on their way. I just had my toes done with a mickey head on the big toe and HATE it.
It wouldn't be so bad if they were both white but one looks grey and the other is pure white. I need to find time to get back over there and get it taken off! ICK.
I really want to try get the kids in bed around 7. Yeah.....righto!

BTW my DH has not packed at all. I will definately need to be around to make sure he brings enough!

We had a safe trip home, but we are all sad! Hope everyone made it home safe. It was great to meet you all.

Woody

We are doing the same!

I miss concierge! It will be hard to travel again without concierge services.

But, what a fun time we had. Hope eevryone else did too!

 

[buf68]

hey everyone!

It was great to meet a lot of you. We had a wonderful time (DH even said he'd love to go again on day when we can afford it , and with all the "NOOOOOOs" coming out of him before we left that was a big feat! I've got a lot of pictures off my camera, but i still need to get the last few days. DH also got a video that i'll probably take some clips off of to share in my trip report We had a great time and I sincerely hope that we can go again sooner rather than later.

 

[yndygo]

We're back too...

It was great to meet those of you I got to meet! Sorry I missed so many - it just went so fast!!!

Thanks again for the wine reception Beentomarceline & family threw, that was a fabulous way to meet you guys!!

I'm still stuck in the land of persistant swaying - my mind knows I'm on dry land, my inner ear still isn't convinced... mostly, I'm sure, due to the head cold I seemed to have picked up on Friday. I'm vertigo woman! Have been lying down all day so that I don't 'fall off' of my own feet!

Still, I'd do it all again!!!!

Hope everyone has made or will make it home safe and sound!

Does anyone know why we stopped by San Salvador the first day at sea? I'm still wondering what the medical emergency was.

Wondering who is going to come in and turn down my bed and make towel animals tonight... lol!

 

[buf68]

We asked our waiter if he knew what the medical emergency was and he said all they tell the crew is what they told us "medical emergency"...sadly i'm not sure if that was the truth or not Maybe someone else had better luck with a castmember

 

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Hi gang! We had a safe trip home saturday after noon. My mom had plan us a welcome home party diner I wasn't sure if I wanted to or

I still feels like i'm still on the ship I as have to hold on to my kitchen sink often!!!!!!

Was wonderfull to meet some of you, first TwoKings at the Hyatt, then PurplePrincess and also Buf68 and an other family that I don't remember the names

Hope to have the chance to meet you again soon!!!!

Our flight got in real late last night/early this morning. We we suspsosed to arrive at 12:00 midnight which was late enough, but the flight was delayed. We arrived around 2:40am this morning. We got to bed around 3:30am. Unfortunetly Arianna had to go back to school since she has already missed a lot of days. Appendix and then the cruise. The alarm went off at 5:30am. I'm not certain how long I will last. I will most likely leave early. The crusie was awesome. We booked the same cruise for next year. 11/8/2008. Did anybody else book this cruise? WDW was also great. We went to 3 out of the 4 parks on Saturday(no EPCOT) to see how they are decorated for Christmas. The castle was amazing!!! and the Osborne light festival. Yesterday we did our Christmas shopping in downtown disney.

I too am still swaying. My body definetly still thinks it is on the ship.

It was great meeting so many of you. I'm am so glad I joined the Disboards.

 

[jajsmom]

Welcome back everyone! We are all unpacked and clothes all washed.
Somehow I caught a cold Friday or Sat. and can't seem to shake it. At least it was at the end of the cruise.

Every so often I feel movement of the ship but not so bad.

We ended up with someone's piece of luggage. I think the luggage guy accidentally picked up someone's luggage while putting ours on the cart. Disney will have it picked up. I feel bad for the owners.

So, who rebooked onboard? I did but dh doesn't know. I may have to cancel since his job is on the rocks and may no be able to afford it right now. Bummer.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Welcome home everyone! We got back last night to 37 degree weather We all had a great time.

I can't believe I missed all the meets! I was really looking forward to meeting everyone. My Dsis was amazed at a little mini-meet at the Philly airport She thought it was great.

We did enjoy playing the DIS fairy game. I went around 3 times delivering stuff and got quite the workout We gave out 2 things, my DSis gave out 2-3 and parents gave out stuff too. Hope everyone enjoyed them! I know we really did

We did rebook onboard and my parents decided to join us as DVC members too and purchased onboard.

Sorry we didn't get to meet, but I was the one who had the mini-meet with your Dsis in the Philly airport. I guess it was destined, because with Southwest's new boarding numbers, our families numbers got meshed together.

We got home late Saturday night, and the only positive was not having to climb on furniture to pass each other . I can't believe all the work there is to do here. I finished laundry and grocery shopping yesterday, and then the family actually wanted me to make dinner.

We're all still swaying a bit here...you should have seen me driving my shopping cart yesterday . The whole family keeps breaking out into song, "Remember the Magic."

We didn't rebook onboard , but we have a trip planned to DL over spring break. We're trying RCL next year over Thanksgiving.

It snowed here today. I do not like being home .

I got one on Friday as well and it seems to have turned into a sinus infection - the swaying has finally stopped, but I have serious vertigo from the cold/infection - so bad I couldn't drive to go to the dr's today
Hope it goes away soon!!

I can't believe you missed us too!! I kept telling DH that there were supposed to be so many more DISers than I saw!
Sorry you missed the to-do at Beentomarceline's - they were such amazing hosts and the Roy suite is gorgeous!! I would've been seething with envy if they weren't such wonderful people that I just felt like they deserved it!
And the wine was amazing too!
Next time you'd better show up!

I did like doing the DISfairy thing too - was fun to see everyone's doors!

We rebooked early - but it's currently a phantom date for 12/6/08... I don't know if we'll keep it or not - waiting to see what the 09 itins look like.

DD keeps telling me that she prefers the Wonder over the Magic!!
I suspect it's due to the fact that she had more fun in the oceaneer's club on the wonder and that Ariel was on that ship.
Not as many princess sightings this time out.

But we'll be back again and again... I'm hooked

Hi everyone! We just got back this evening! We had a few extra magical days at WDW. I just sorted all the laundry - OH my.... SIX people times 10 days!!! I've never seen sooo many dirty clothes!!!

We too were soooo bummed to miss the get together in the Roy Suite! That was the time of my "alone time spa massage/facial" which even by that day I REALLY needed! I actually headed up there thinking I'd pop in a "bit late"...but as I was heading down the hall I realized i was more than just a "bit" late - it was actually three hours after the start time! OOOPS! Needless to say we had a little difficulty adjusting to the time change - my three kiddos were a bit messed up too...so we had some stressful moments and yet some wonderful moments! My DH and I laugh saying that the highs were very high and the lows were REALLY low with our kids!!! There were some very embarrassing temper tantrums that each of my kids threw! But the good news is that no one seemed to care on board...gotta love Disney!

We all were so impressed with how spoiled we were! I too wanna know where my towel animal and milk and cookies are! We got so spoiled!!!

And thank you to all the wonderful Disfairies! My kids LOVED checking their "mailboxes" and felt so special! And all the fun gifts were so thoughtful!! Thank you to all who participated!!

Hannah loved meeting some of the girls from the boards. I enjoyed getting to meet some of you as well. Sorry I couldn't chat more - I'm looking forward to going back when my kids (the triplets) are a bit older and my DH and I can actually enjoy more of "our time" on DCL.

But all of the info I gained here was so helpful!!! What am I gonna do now without all my disboard time????
