[Tiffa]

Hi Everyone!! This is Mikem861 posting from inside Disneyquest at 1:45 the day of the meet...we'll see everyone real soon!!!!

 

[WDWLVR]

It was great seeing everyone at the meet. Too bad the rain had to spoil it for us!

Off to a great day cruising tomorrow.

Special thanks to Cindy & Gary for being our transportation!

Shortcut to page 2 of the trip report(click)!
And, one thing I didn't include, is today we delivered her box back to Cindy. Actually Cindy, Gary & co went way out of their way to shuttle us to and from Downtown Disney, we owe them big time! Especially coming back, I was VERY wore out from the whole day after Comedy Warehouse and was going to head back to our room, ride or no ride and that made it so much easier. Got back to here and conked out for at least an hour.

But we had a slight surprise with the return of the mystery box:

Lippinacious! No, the box certainly didn't look like that when we got it from her

Andy - thanks for all the great screen captures!

 

[Verandah Man]

Your welcome Mary, I had trouble getting a screen capture off the Key West site, so I took a picture of my monitor with my digital camera and posted it, I think it turned out OK.

Enjoy the rest of your cruise!!!

Ok guys - I've been in tears twice this cruise. Once when I opened an envelope on Sunday and again today when I opened the card you all sent. Thank you so much from both Mark and I for the very generous stateroom credit!

We do this for fun and to bring everyone together. I think we've had plenty of that on this cruise.

Now who's in for 2006?

 

[MarkRG]

Remember that I've posted trip reports in this thread: Live from the SS Member Cruise

Have to thank Cheryl and Todd for wrangling us into the Walt Suite, awesome of you two!

And of course, as I threatened, I just HAVE TO post this pic...

And WE'RE the rowdy table Karen??

Mark and Mary, you two are the most giving people we've (cheryl and I) met from online and giving back to you like that was just fantastic, we're always there for you guys!!!

Now who's in for 2006?

Whoot!!!! (read as: I'm in!!!!)

It is Wednesday night. The bags are all packed, the pictures are all bought and the cruise is coming to an end.

This cruise has been fantastic thanks in part to a wonderful group of DIS'ers! You guys are the best!

Special thanks to our dinner partners: Mary, John, Gail, John, Steve, Coleen, Dale and Karen. You guys are fantastic. I have never laughed so hard at dinner in any of my other cruises. And to the rowdies at the next table (the Ohio Mouse family) we've enjoyed having you so close.

Most of all it has been fun walking around and always having someone to stop and talk to or to share an event with. Truly Members Are Magical!

 

[WDWLVR]

Greetings all. Hope everyone got back to the airport, port or hotels safely.

We had a very uneventful trip on our bus. Checked into Boardwalk and crashed for a while. Then spent a wonderful evening at Epcot with Robin (TN Robin and her DH Mike).

Well, by now we have all reached our post ship destinations. Yesterday was a day of SHIP- BUSES- TRAMS- PLANES AND CARS for us!

Through it all everything went smoothly and I must commend the entire DCL organization for the soup to nuts planning of our disembarkation change of plans. Looking at Ophelia, she seems to be lingering and I am glad Capt. Henry made the decision he did.
(Note to those who name hurricanes--stay away from Shakespearean charachter names!)

It seems that I didn't meet half the people who I though I would have. I seemed to run on the same schedule as Cindy, Diana, Jeff and Tamika.
How wonderful Mark and Mary got to meet Jim lewis. did you suggest that instead of all the stuff they should give away points?(just kidding-sort of)

All in all it was a great trip and it seems everyone had a WONDERful time.

DVC really outdid themselves-now what am I going to do w/ 5 Mickey Clocks? I guess if anything we won't be seeing any Capt. Hooks with all of these tick-tock clocks.
I already used several of the "Secret" DDVC bags to get all of the other stuff home!

Safe home to those of you who are still around the World!

Now I must try to get the kids out of bed for SCHOOL! At least it is a later time than for our 7:15 breakfast yesterday.

Thanks to all for adding to a spectacular experience! You Disers are the BEST!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone on this thread. You are all the best. We had a great first cruise and you all helped so much. We will be on the cruise next year. I can't wait to go back. We are going to bring our dd's next year and they are so excited.

I still cannot believe all the great stuff DVC had planned for us. My dh said we can only go on DVC cruises from now on. I just want to thank everyone for all the special DIS treats. I just have to think of something to do next year for everyone.

Mark you might want to check you countdown timer on the website. I think it is wrong. It should be more like 408 days and it says 347 days or does that mean that we are having a really long vacation before the actual cruise date? Works for me.

We checked it on our end and it appears to be right. What date does you computer show - since the countdown works on that?

We had a great time as well. It has been a wonderful two days after still meeting up with cruise friends. TNRobin and her family yesterday and Cindy and her family tonight! Everyone we've spoken to is looking forward to 2006.

Hey everyone!!! Thanks for such an AWESOME cruise!!! I couldn't have asked for a better vacation. My door received so many DIS goodies over the course of the trip that it was covered by the end. My suitcases are still full, but I'll be unpacking tonight and tomorrow.

I enjoyed meeting SO many of you, and I know that there's TONS that I didn't personally meet either!!! I guess there's always NEXT year!!!

We're back too! Wow Amy, it was just 12 hours ago that we were watching Playhouse Disney! Bruce was so nice, we got home and he went right upstairs to plug everything back in so I can come here. Now that he's met all you guys, I think he approves of my DIS habit!

Night everyone! I have ALOT of catching up to do!
