October 7, 2007 Wonder

...lime green Mickey heads. These are just paint chips that you get from Home Depot.

That is such a good/cute/neat/cool idea! I'm going there tomorrow!!! My girls always LOVE to get those paint chips to play with anyway!

The color on the chip is actually called "Alien Green".

Speaking of green, I'm going to print out our door sign on a bright-ish green paper. I don't have a color ink cartridge thing anyway, so this way, it'll be "colored" but not "in color". I have to make them tonight so that dh can laminate them at his work tomorrow! He's a guidance counselor at a school.

This may be my last time to post here because I'll be soooo busy tomorrow packing and stuff. (SO much stuff) So, thanks to all here! I'll be back with helpful tips for future sailers/cruisers/what do you call them. Maybe I'll see some green paint chips Sunday!!!

Now back to packing............

See you all soon!

Hi all 10/7/07 cruisers - sorry I didn't get to meet most of you on board. I was at the pool at 3:00 but it was so crowded I didn't see anyone with green mickey ears on their carry-ons. I did get to meet glass slipper.

Wasn't the weather great? We were so lucky. We had a great time and hope everyone else did also. We booked a 7 night for Nov. of 2008. Will start counting the days!!!!

I was there but I did not see anyone either. I metJulieJulieJulie in the terminal, but that was it.

We had a blast hope to go back in 2010.

Hi everyone! I looked and looked, but couldn't find anyone either. I even doubted myself about the time and looked again at 3:30. Oh well, maybe next time, right?

We had a great time too. However, my husband and son got seasick the first night and missed dinner. They didn't get sick the first time last year. I just don't understand it.

While the Wonder was great, I have to say my heart is still on the Magic and the seven day cruise. The ship just didn't seem quite as pristine. I also felt like I never was able to just let go and relax. Everything seemed rushed. I didn't want to get off that boat Thursday morning for sure! We spent the day at WDW, so at least that softened the blow.

I can't wait until next October! I have had that cruise booked for a year now. I just have to pray that they don't mess with the school calendar, and I have to start really saving those nickels and dimes!

Hope to see you guys on another cruise someday!

Hi everyone,
The same thing happened to me. I wondered if I was the only one that didn't meet the group. It was really crowded around the Mickey pool and I only met one family with 2 daughters--sorry I don't remember the name. I had already been to my stateroom and left my bag, so I didn't have anything with me that had my green Mickey ears to identify me as a diser. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the great weather and being together as a family. The shows were SO GOOD! MY DGS5 sat on the edge of his seat watching every one of them. Castaway Cay was beautiful. We snorkeled and rode bikes along with meeting characters and just laying around in the sun. We were able to find the Mickey statue under the water while snorkling. Every day there was just so much to do. We all loved it!
We also had a great time at MNSSHP. I think my favorite part was the parade! All the villians in the parade had such an "aire" about them. Such a great family vacation!

We lost track of time and didn't get to the pool until 3:30. We didn't see anyone there either. Haley did get to meet Taryn b/c she was in a room just down from ours...so that was good! We also had a "WONDERful" time! I never imagined I would love cruising so much. Next time, I think I'd like to do a 7 day and skip the land part. Disney World was great, but very hot, crowded, and hectic. The cruise was more relaxing! Also, I will definitely let Haley bring a friend along next time. She wasn't too keen on going to the Oceaneer's Lab since she didn't know anyone so DH and I ended up cancelling our Palo reservations and we didn't get any alone time at the quiet pool or anything. Live and learn! Glad everyone had a good time!

Hi everyone. My Dh and I also looked around pool but saw no one. I had my LG Mickey on my lanyard and Tiara in my hair. First part of land trip was HOTTTTTTTTTT but after cruise it was nice and comfortable. I suspect that we had disers down hall from our state room but I never actually had chance to ask.

I am posting pictures of our door and my parent's door. I had a lot of fun decorating the doors.

I was beginning to think I was the only one who missed the meet. I am glad I was not the only one.

 

[glassslipper2004]

Hi all. We were at the meet at 3:00 and met Sue, as well as Rosie and Taryn. Sue, I wanted to let you know we found your door, by all the great signs - the kids really enjoyed them!

Rachel (DD9) and Taryn had a lot of fun together. It was definitely a great idea to have the girls e-mail before the cruise. Now I'm hoping Rosie will send me some pictures...

We enjoyed the cruise immensely. I want to do another, and would really like a Mexico stop (Cozumel? other east cost stops). I haven't started to figure out when it would be, though. It will be harder for us to take off during school next year, since DD9 will be in middle school and I hear it is really discouraged.

Keep in touch.

Thanks Sandy - I had fun making them and received many compliments on them - our steward loved them. Several people asked me what Dis.com was. I was disappointed that there were very few door signs however.

where did everybody go?

 

[GGBacha]

We're all back in the cruel, cruel world of reality!! I want to go back to the Disney Cruise!!!!

Hi Everyone!!!

We were at the pool right around 3pm but did not see anyone wearing the lime green Mickey's. I guess we all just missed each other. We had an absolute blast on the cruise. Best family vacation ever!!!!! The clubs, the food, the entertainment, the service it was all stellar!!! My kids were actually crying when we were leaving the ship on Thursday morning. They have not stopped talking about the vacation since we got home. They keep asking when can we go on the Disney Cruise again. We will definitely plan another Disney cruise in the future. Maybe a 7 day...that would be wonderful. I would love to cruise on the new ships coming out in 2011...my kids can not wait that long.

Hope everyone had a teriffic time!!!

Don't know if anyone is still out there, but I have finally posted the first part of my trip report on my blog. http://myspace.com/eyesing2

Terri - I'm still here, and enjoyed reading your blog. We were supposed to go to Palo on Monday night, but wound up skipping it because we couldn't figure out how to satisfy my girls' desire to dress up and have a nice dinner and not miss a show, etc. Anyway, it turned out fine.

Please let us know when you post more - I am curious about your emergency medical trip - doesn't sound good...
