[Octoberbride03]

I caught James coming down Pelican plunge

Renee waving after a trip down

And here is Rich getting rained on

Once the downpour ended, at least hte first 1, we just walked through the rain and I did some browsing in the shops. Then we headed over to Serenity Bay.

What do you see?

Its a Sting ray.

He stopped for a bit before swimming off

No word if he escaped from Castaway Ray's

Awesome pics Maureen. Thanks for the pics of the DW and James. Vanna White has nothing on you.

After hitting the shops we heading over to DW Happy spots and we had a very bad surprise. DCL has removed the hammocks by the Heads Up Bar for a shed. She was upset. Fortunately Madalyn and family saved the day and let up camp out with them over on the family beach area that had a free hammock. THANKS Madalyn !!!!!

Glad you GOT a hammock and we loved seeing y'all! That was weird indeed! We had heard there were tons of hammocks, but as we were walking, ds and dd said they didn't see any free ones. We happened to head toward the Pelican Plunge stop and spotted those three. Unfortunately.. with the inlaws and dh and dd coming and going, I never got a chance to enjoy one! However, I noticed my young professionals 'camped' out most of the day there..Life's hard for my two oldest.. Next time?I'm gonna be like Renee and make one my 'happy spot'.

We next had to hit Pelican Plunge

and had to crash the CC wedding. Congrats to Beth and thanks for letting us crash. Got to love the backdrop.

The rains came right after the wedding and we had to take cover for an hour. After lunch we went over to Spring a Leak.

Thought Spring a Leak was too cool! (Never got to enjoy that one either..but next time!) Love y'alls pics..too fun! We absolutely LOVED CC and now understand when cruisers are 'diverted' due to weather, WHY they hate missing it. I could've stayed there at least 2 days. Enjoyed it way more than St Thomas for sure! Next time!

After hitting Spring a Leak we headed back to the family beach for some swimming.

Had to get some final pics of the Magic before heading back to the ship

We stopped for a pic at Mt Rustmore.

The Activites area

Then over the bridge and the CC goodbye sign

Off to the final dinner where we said goodbye to our servers as we were going to Topsiders in the morning.

The kids with our assistant server Alex and server Alvin.

After dinner we headed over to the atrium and got some last pics in front of helmsman Mickey

We next headed back to the room to pack up. After that I headed over to Till We Meet Again and met up with Maureen.

Looks like we were almost directly across from you on the 'til we meet again goodbye!

Looking forward to my next cruise with DH in Feb, but the meet just isn't the same without all of you!! You all made the days go by so fast, and were great to get to know!! Thank you all!!

 

[TIGGER/POOH4]

The Welcome Home Navigator even though we went to Topsiders along with a bunch of other DISsers. We like topsiders better as we are not rushed and can eat as much as we want.

The DCL Terminal as we were docking

The saddest sight. The See You Real Soon flag as you exit the ship

One last pic as we on the DCL bus heading back to MCO for our flight home

And now it's time to put a wrap on this cruise. We had a great time and I want to thank all the great Magic in Paradise crew and especially Maureen and Rich. Your gifts and warm welcomes all during the cruise were greatly appreciated. I have been on 6 previous cruises and none come close to this group! Hopefully we will all get to cruise again together. I will add to my bucket list to cruise with everyone again.

To quote Mickey for the final goodbye.

Now its time to say goodbye to all our company.

M-I-C
Spoken:
see you real soon
K-E-Y
Spoken:
why? because we like you
M-O-U-S-E.

bump. My pictures are back. I guess too many DISsers downloaded the navigators and overdid my bandwith. It's back now.

I just pmd you too. I would love a copy of the navigators. Thanks!!
