Sept 4-8 2005 Wonder S.S. Member Cruise! Part 3

Yeah, going fast is right. Especially when it's flushed down one of the DCL toilets!! Going REALLY fast!

The first day, Walker would flush. But after that, he wouldn't anymore. He'd drop down the seat and run out of the bathroom as fast as he could -- without even attempting to flush. I think he thought it would do it on its own -- Mickey Magic or something.

Hi everyone!

Finally done unpacking and most of the stuff has found a place in this messy home.

It was fun to see John and Gail again yesterday - hope the bags really were yours Gail - LOL. I was a bit fanatical about everything getting back to Michigan safe and sound.

Guess we'll be busy sharing ideas for next years cruise - hopefully all will go well for those of us who want to cruise again.

Glad we got to cruise when we did - seems there's some storms a brewing out there and they don't look too friendly.

Yes and Thank You again for bringing it all home - there is no way we would have been able to fly home with it. It was so cool going through all the pins and things - just like reliving the trip.

Oh, I hope you don't mind Mary but I must comment on your DISNEY house. She doesn't just have a Disney Room but a whole Disney House. Very, Very Cool!!!! It would take days just to see everything!!!

While we were on the cruise, we did buy more points - 200. I am very excited about that especially since our use year is Oct - we get those 200 points now & then 200 more in Oct. We are going to be taking the Disneyland Trip - for those of you who don't know - you get hotel & park passes for 5 days/4nights.

Lisa - I haven't read further than your post and wanted to make sure you knew that you need to call ASAP to bank the points into 2005 as they are not automatically doing that and when I spoke to my guide he said something about "two weeks".

We also added on, but only 100. Congrats!

Whew finally caught up after being gone all weekend.

Bus - we also stopped, however, the driver did not make an announcement as to how long so we got off, went to the bathroom, bought some pop and were right back on only to sit there for a bit. I'd have voted for no stop personally. Our driver was ok, however, when we stopped he started smoking while on the bus - um HI I'M ALLERGIC - thanks.

We were shocked to see some coming off the buses about 1 - 2 hours after we arrived at BCV - did some take the long way or is that just due to late seating? Wild.

I think we need photos of Mark and Mary's Disney house!

We had early seating and arrived at WL at 2:30. Yes, 5 1/2 hours of my life were spent on that bus. We were also on the direct to WDW bus. For our bus WL was the 7th stop. It took us well over an hour from our first stop at SSR to the 7th stop of WL. I know we arrived at WL after people who got driven to the port and picked up cars.

Oops, I meant Mary (iluvdisney). I haven't seen Mark and Mary's house, but I'm sure it has its fair share of Disney things!!!!

I could be wrong but I think Gail was referring to iluvdisney Mary's home??

I didn't realize you were the 7th stop.

I am ever so grateful that we were 1st. No only for the time involved in the rest of the stops, but I know Walker wouldn't have been able to hold out that long.

Yikes - 5 1/2 hours! We got to the port around noon then headed over to VWL, but stopped at Wal Mart to meet up with Mary & John to give them our stuff that they were taking home. I think we were still at VWL sometime before 2:00. Just think you didn't have to deal with the rain at PC and trying to get your luggage out to the car...........but 5 1/2 hours on a bus

I'll bring my camera and take a couple of shots. After all, I was gracious enough to let Mary take a couple of me that I hadn't planned on.

Yup....we saw many resorts that day.....SSR, OKW, CBR, BW, BC, POR, POFQ at WL. There were 4 people left on the bus when we got off.....God only knows where they were staying!

And you have to remember.....Dan likes a clean bus....so we didn't have water or snacks!

That is if you will be able to drag yourself away from the smoothie machine

Maybe the smoothie machine is Disney!!

Although he did let us bring stuff on from the rest stop.

Or at least he didn't stop me from bringing our drinks.

I'm sorry for you guys not getting any snacks, but I have to laugh everytime I read "Dan likes a clean bus"! We all ate on our bus and it was still clean.....even that minty fresh smelling bathroom!

You know what cracks me up about all of this. If I understood this correctly, the driver's aren't even responsible for cleaning up the bus.....someone else has that job.

So, what would it have mattered.

Isn't there a Mickey smoothie machine. I thought I saw one and wanted to buy it, but John looked at me like I had two heads - must be because I already have a regular one that I just got for my birthday

That's why I keep writing it....it just cracks me up!!

I'm being mean...he didn't stop us from taking stuff back on after the rest stop....but my coke from burger king didn't last the 5 1/2 hours!!

Ah, yes. Reminds me of our 10 day cruise when we were driving and another DISer was flying. Seems he had no way to get his 2 foot tall Spode Christmas tree home in his luggage so we drove it home for him (we're in OH, he's in WV)

FINALLY, last month, we got together and he paid me the ransom for his Christmas tree!!
