Plankton and the Mason's "Magic"-al vacation!

[goofyfreak]

That happened to me too Karen! I flashed one of the other KK husbands, actually. I was so embarassed! I don't remember who it was--I think it was one of the Scotts. If I had known that was going to happen, I would've worn nicer undies......

Fab report, girl! Keep it coming..........

It was definitely my Scott. He has wonderful memories of the cruise on Pirate Night!!!

 

[goofyfreak]

Is this a Paige's undies FO?

 

[goofyfreak]

I think he had a video camera. Are my britches headed for youtube?

You are safe.........I have seen the video and we only have you from the waist up. But we have several views of you doing something crazy with your tongue to my husband. Maybe the pantie sighting wasn't such an accident!!!!

 

[goofyfreak]

Cass - heres the photo I mentioned

What a beautiful family photo.

I am just thankful he didn't throw himself over the side after that sight!

You see, rednecks have talents, too!

You know, I will have to see that video at some point....I swear I had maybe 3 drinks that night but I think with the rocking of the boat, they hit me hard....

scared you didnt i?

Yes!

Karen, you have found the key to a successful trippie--PICTURES! They're great! I keep remembering back to before our first Disney cruise, and how I scoured the boards for pics to be as well informed as possible. So, you see, not only is your report entertaining, but you are also helping out potential cruisers. Way to go!

I just love photos - mine are being printed as we speak - I COLLECT THEM TODAY - all 500 of them - and thats me being choosy - I could have had hundreds more

But we have several views of you doing something crazy with your tongue to my husband.

- I want to see this video

We were just about to destroy the castle

here they go

On the way back to family beach we stopped off to take some photos

We got back to family beach and we all had another swim and chatted.

Before long it was time for me to write those postcards

I sat under the shade and quickly wrote them.

We then had to pack up and go back to the ship

I really didnt want to leave. It had been a georgous day and I didnt want it to end.

We called back into the shop on the way back to the ship and then found out the post office was already shut


Back on board it was time for


MANIC PANIC!

We still had to

get ready for that evening,
pack
have our photos taken with a white background in the lobby
fetch other photos from shutters
go to the onboard shop and buy the mini mickey statue from the lobby

etc etc etc


Time flew by in the room, and I knew I didnt have time to go back on deck and watch us sailaway from Castaway Cay, so I sent Neil up to get some photos while I bathed Ellis and started the rest of the packing.

 

[Karen Mouse]

I hear mutterings amongst the readers...........



Where's Planky?





Did she leave him onboard?




Absolutely not!




He didnt fancy parasailing - he's too light, so he chose to go diving with Nancy and co.

and then headed to the adult beach to pick up some chicks

After a while he headed back to the ship early

and then he bumped into Mike - aka Underdog

so Planky decided to put his outfit on too

then he left Mike cos he had an appointment with the Captain

The Captain had offered to let Planky "drive the ship"

So Planky put on his Captain uniform and went to meet him.

By now everyone was back onboard ship so Planky knew it was time to play Trick or treat and get everyones candy

Thanks for the bucket Cheryl!


Then Planky went back to our stateroom and packed his suitcase

We said goodbye to Planky - it was hugs and kisses all round - I was gonna miss that little guy and Neil took him to Auntie Goose - aka Nancy where he was spending his last night onboard.

Goodbye Little Planky

 

[Karen Mouse]

The rest of the evening went by sooooo fast.

We got our photos taken on the white background,

had dinner

, said goodbye to our servers,

and our friends

Met the chef

Took one last look outside

dropped Ellis into the club, got the cases out into the corridor ready, went to the shop and bought a few more things, picked up photos from shutters, met Jeff and Suz in in Sessions for our last drinks together. Neil had put our disney park passesd "somewhere safe" (just like I did with the Halloween passes - still havent found them by the way!) and we could not find them anywhere in the cabin. Also with the passes was the photopass with all our photos on it from the previous week. I was determined not to cry or let it spoil our last day. I knew Neil felt awful about it but we were just hoping they had got packed by mistake.


We fetched Ellis from kids club and returned the pager, watched the farewell show in the lobby

and then fetched the last photos from shutters then went to bed and ordered cookies and drinks from room service.

Saturday 27th October - aka Getting off Day

We were up at 6am and ready and dressed by 6.30am.

Our brekkie was at 6.45am so we wandered out on deck to have a look out at the dock.

there was another ship in too - the Carnival Glory.

This is our "we dont wanna leave" photo

Berkkie opened at Parrot Cay and in we went. Considering it was realy early and we were departing I was still in a really good mood. I ordered the full works for brekkie but Neil just had cereal and toast and so did Ellis.


Heres Shane with his lovely present for Ellis - thank you Shane

I love this photo

Our last brekkie together with some of our friends

and then it was time to get off.

We joined the small queue in the lobby and off we went

and then we were back in the terminal

We found our luggage immediately, grabbed a porter and were through in less then 5 minute and at our car.

It was raining as we took our last shots of the Magic

The drive back to Orlando was uneventful. We first called in at Ron Jon's and bought a few presents for our family and then drove back to Fairfield Inn, Lake Buena Vista - our home for the next 3 1/2 days.

Ellis slept the whole way back. It was too early to check in, we hadnt found our park passes, so we (once again) went to the Malls. Neil had ordered some trainers so we went to collect them from Florida Mall, then went to Belz and spent another few hundred$$$. Then we went to DTD and Ellis got to build his lightsaber - a darth Maul double ended one - its enormous but luckily it comes apart to fit in the suitcase.

By now our room was ready so we checked in and unpacked.

Guess what was tucked inside one of the Navigators - yep! - the park passes and photopass. - Phew!

Neil went out to get essential supplies for our last 3 dys - wine, beer, chocolate milk and cheesecakes while I finished off unpacking.

I was almost done when the phone rang - it was Neil's parents - they had flown in that day and were popping in on their way to St Petes. They were there in 30 minutes and so we opened some wine and beer and had a nice long chat telling them all about the cruise. Ellis was really pleased to see them.

Once Nanny and Grandad had left we went to Bahama Breeze for dinner - one of my favourite restaurants. The music playing was Jimmy Buffets "Margaritaville" - we smiled at each other - it was the same cd as was playing in Key West when we'd stopped for a beer. We decided to buy the cd the next day - happy memories - its actually playing now as I type this!

We went back to the hotel, got tea and coffee from the lobby and had cheesecake in bed.

It was only 9pm but we were all exhausted and needed an early night.

Tomorrow - MGM

Sunday 28th October - aka MGM DAY!

We were up at 7.45am, had brekkie in the hotel (I want a waffle maker!) and off to MGM. We did the RocknRollercoaster, Star Tours three times , the Muppet show, the stunt show and had our photos taken with some characters

We did the Animation drawing thingy

and watched the parade

then it was straight to Lone star for dinner - georgous filet mignon

Dessert in bed - my usual cheesecake and a glass of merlot then it was off to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[cntkg1]

He didnt fancy parasailing - he's too light, so he chose to go diving with Nancy and co.

Actually Karen, Plankie decided to be the watch dog of all our stuff and remained quietly in his chair. Or did he? Hey! Where did our Konked Koolers go? A quick breathalizer test on the Plankster and I had my answer. He downed two Konked Koolers and got punished by being banned from the adult beach.

and then headed to the adult beach to pick up some chicks

Not the look of someone who just got bawled out is it? He looks a little too happy here. I think he was looking for the infamous BigRed.



Another great update Karen. Thanks for all the laughs.

I love all the pictures from MNSSHP, it looks like they have different/more decorations this year, they look great but they're making me want to go to Disney World right now Oh and yes I am still hummimg the "Boo to you" tune, I love it! Thanks for picking up the CD for me

We had a great time. It wasnt too busy, the candy lines were short and I managed to get the cd's that 2 fellow cruisers wanted - (Hi Cheryl and Lindy Loo - hope you're not still humming that "Boo to you" tune )
