Thank you, everyone, for the warm welcome!!! I'm beyond excited for the cruise but I swear, I can't even figure out how my dining rotation works or how I'm ever going to get a Palo ressie!!!
Everyone's pictures are great, by the way!

Man you people post alot .... intros Kala Baby girl 11 3rd Disney cruise, Nannette ?? ( won't tell age ) 3rd disney cruise and official source for everything lost, so if ya lose something on the cruise just look for her ( cute little blond, but I am biased) and she'll know where it is . Finally the Old Man Tim 36 , 3rd Disney cruise BTW still lookin for help on the magic kingdom just a few suggestions would really be a big help
Oh yeah Be sure and turn the breaker OFF if ya have an Electric water heater or you'll burn out the elements in it.

Go ahead and ask away about WDW. There are some real experts here. I've only been once but I researched the crud out of it and can probably answer a few.

I can't remember if Dining rotation is listed on your final cruise docs or assigned at the Port. Either way you will need to wait a while for it. I emailed my TA who put in a request for me, I wanted APL. As far as Palo goes. Relax a bit, if you can get to the port early, and get onboard early, then you can make that ressie onboard. The online ressies are almost all gone. Remember, Disney only releases 50% of the ressies to online. The rest are avail onboard. That's how I am planning to get my Palos Sunday Brunch.

Steve, did you request early or late APL? We requested early APL.

Unless things have changed, I think we find out when we checkin. It's printed on our KTTW cards. Sure would make life easier if they'd let us know sooner!

Karen--Great pics--looks like y'all had a great time!

Robin and Cinnamike--Beautiful family! Baby Addison is precious! I can see the pride in y'all's faces when y'all took the family pic. Robin, you look like you're in heaven, figuratively speaking. It's great when the whole family is together, epecially for such a happy occasion--Happy Birthday, Baby Addison!

Have a great night y'all!

Rob and I are off to buy a new camcorder tomorrow. He is off again tomorrow--our tax dollars at work, folks!

Well - just scanned a few past pages.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE! Hope you had a fun day! And thanks to Robin for posting the family pics. That Addison sure is a cutie! She looks big for being 1! Love the hair!

Karen - the photos look great. Looks like you all had a fun time. I agree - that one photo looks blurred!

Nancy - are you really into packing already? My goodness, I probably won't even start until a week or so prior. We are thinking of shipping our formal stuff down ahead of time to John's parents. Less to pack & lug around through the airports!

Nancy - Jeff was partically right with 'Beyond the Sea' but the singer was Will Young. He won the first Pop Idol over here. So many people have recorded this song. It's on the soundtrack for Finding Nemo and the singer is Robbie Williams.

Heather

Maybe, maybe not...see below.

Thanks Heather. It'll be on my iPod by tonight.

The song was originally done by Bobby Darin though back in the 50's I think. That is what I was referring to. The one singing in the video clip is definitely not Bobby Darin.

There was a movie out a year or so ago about Bobby Darin, starring Kevin Spacey. I think the name of it was Beyond the Sea.

Hi Jeff,

Welcome back. Did you have a nice trip.

Hi Jeff,

Welcome back. Did you have a nice trip.

Robin

Excellent of course. Thanks for asking.

You need to tell Mike I was thinking of him over the weekend. It was on Pirates when they have the wench auction. All the men yelling, "we wants the redhead".

 

[JLDSMD]

It rained every afternoon while we were there, but Saturday was the worse. It was a huge downpour while we were in Epcot. I think my shoes are still wet.

Pirate and Princess Party was good, but very dead - walked on every ride. Not many people in costumes.

The special fireworks were great - Pirates "blew up" the castle. I have pics, I'll have to try to see if any turned out really good.

 

[JLDSMD]

Back from WDW fo?

I'm sure I'll have to listen to him every time we see it now.

Jeff,

It's hard to keep track of everyone. Are you going to WDW around cruise time also?

 

[JLDSMD]

I'm leaving for DC in the morning--am scared to see how many pages I will have to read when I come back on Monday!!

I was gone for almost 5 days and there were less than 50 pages. Not as bad as I thought. I was thinking 100 pages for sure.

Don't worry Danielle, you'll be able to get a Palo ressie once you board. I didn't get either the brunch or the dinner when I tried during our first cruise either and got exactly the times and days I wanted once we boarded. And if I've forgotten to welcome you and your family, please let me do it now.

WELCOME!!!

Hi Tina! Yes, Chuck and I did a little packing today. We only have our junk stuff packed though. The clothes are all still in the front closet. I would love to send all our luggage down there and just walk in with my camera and a bag.


Robin and Mike...great pictures of Addison. What a cutie she is.

And Welcome home Jeff!!I hope you had a fun trip. Was DS surprised at all? You and Suz are good secret keepers. I would've blabbed to my kids.

Jeff,

Sorry Robin, I'm reading back, so I only see new posts when I post one.

Anyhow, we would have gone to WDW if MNSSHP was on the 19th, but since that is the ONLY friday night they are NOT doing it, we will be just going to the coast when we get in (except for maybe a trip to Downtown Disney the night before).

Would love to go back again that soon, but won't be able too.

 

[JLDSMD]

I'm sure I'll have to listen to him every time we see it now.

I tried to take a picture, but I think it came out blurry. I will look at them this week and if it is good, I'll post it.

I should have used the video feature on the camera instead.

We actually thought about hitting Downtown Disney before we head over to the Raddison on Fri., but haven't made up our minds yet.

Thanks Nancy.

The weekend was great. DS was surprised. He thought we were taking him to the Ortho for an appointment Thur afternoon. He wanted to know why Suz was going, but we just told him she wanted to go to the appt.

He didn't know about the trip until we got to the airport and didn't know it was WDW until we got to the signs (we lead him to believe we might be going somewhere else in FL).

Funny thing though, I had to throw a cap in the trunk before I took DS to school and lifted the trunk more 3 inches and he said, "why are there suitcases in there?" I had to cover on that one.

As for keeping secrets, this October is the only one he knows/knew about. We keep it from him everytime, otherwise he'll get excited. We'll see how bad the week we leave is.

I'll try to put a report up within a few days.
