donnica: don't be sad. we're no replacement for your beloved J&J but christine and i will have dinner with you and help you cope with perky people! plus with J&J in florida, i see MAJOR self party posse reunions in the works. miss you guys!

i did not get a survey. wish i did because i have a lot more comments for them. i thought of a few things when i got home, not necessarily bad, just ideas. besides hannacanna and i love to fill out surveys.

[mom+3girls]

I didn't get a survey, I have some ideas. stina I love filling those out to. Loved my cruise, sorry didn't get to meet alot of you, way too much to do and with the 3 girls. Go here, go there, hurry up, I'm hungry. I need another cruise alone to really enjoy myself.
Maybe next year, I do a 3 day with a friend.

Jenn how is the job search going?

Well, I'm still waiting to hear back form Hilton. (Everyone keep those fingers crossed for me!) If I get Hilton, I could be gone in two weeks! Otherwise, I'll keep posting for other places and I'll get something eventually!

 

[fltink]

Stina, I swear you and I are like the same person! I freakin' LOVE surveys! The longer, the better! I LOVE to answer questions and give my opinion (if you couldn't tell!)

Mom+3girls, we seem to run into you alot, your girls are very nice and polite. There must be 3 or 4 of each of you in the wedding party and posse because you guys seemed to be everywhere (good not bad). We never got to meet our next door neighbor (6092 - Daisy). Daisy you said you were quiet, you were right, but what was with the do not disturb sign out so much. We had a great time, still going through pictures, hope to have some up here soon.

 

[fltink]

Well, all of us wedding party peeps like to be social and be seen everywhere! ) Where there's fun, we'll be there!

 

[hannacanna]

bobbybear, that's hilarious that you saw us everywhere! why is it that there are 3 of me on vacation, but when i'm at work there's only 1 of me??? why can't i be everywhere at once and get so much stuff done at work? i feel like on the trip i did a million things every day. i got so much done!

donnica, you now have an excuse for almost missing the boat...one of your clones was at carlos n charlies for 4 hours, not you!!!

hey jenn...good luck with the hilton...that would be awesome! let us know what happens. i'm trying to look on the bright side and realize that if you move to FL we can go visit you AND david!

 

[Donnica]

Oh see I knew it!!!!!! Thanks Hanna I knew it couldn't POSSIBLY been MOI at C 'n C's for 4 hours. I might have popped in to see what all that noice could possibly be about! As I am a quiet sort, but evil twin/clone surely isn't.

There were more then 3 or 4 of us wasn't there? Oh wait... that are on the boards. Lets see... Me, Jenn, Jay, Christine, Christina and David. Ok there are 6 of us. What we lack in size we make up for in volume!

One of these days I will figure out how to pictures and stuff on here.... or then again... not LOL

For those who spent some extra time in C & C's or Frog's....this is what the Magic looked like docked in Cozumel!

Well, all of us wedding party peeps like to be social and be seen everywhere! )

I can second that because it seems like I saw y'all everywhere! I mean, so much so that I thought - these people are going to think I'm following them! I mean how is it that with 2600 people on one ship and you see the same few people everywhere??? There was also one punk kid that I wanted to pound on a little bit that first day so naturally I saw him everywhere, too.

UH OH!! I'll just bet that kid you wanted to pound on was mine! I think everybody who saw him wanted to pound on him! But I swear to everybody, after about a week of being back home and him getting his normal long nights of sleep and long naps in the afternoon, he's his normal happy and well-behaved self once again. Hopefully, being a year older on our cruise next September will help his tolerance level!

 

[fltink]

Isn't it wierd??? You end up seeing the people the you stood in line with on the very first day just about EVERYWHERE!!! And likewise, you can make it through a whole cruise, see someone really wierd that stands out on your very last day and wonder how you made it through a cruise without noticing them.

 

[hannacanna]

Hi Holly! I remember seeing you and your cute son at Shutters, and other places too but I really clearly remember you two at Shutters. Such a cute kid you have. I hope you had a great time!

I think Donna is on to something--with a volume like ours, you're bound to see us everywhere. I mean, when we sit around the ship we really sit AROUND the ship (boom-boom-crash......silence....crickets chirping in the distance).

Did everybody else see the Power Hair Trio everywhere, too? The older guys...one of them had longer blond hair, had a Sorcerer Mickey tatoo. One of them had a shaved head but a little tuft of hair like where the hole on a baseball cap is...the other had a long ponytail with rubber bands up it like every 2 inches. I saw them EVERYWHERE. They were together sometimes.

This time 3 weeks ago we were having a day at sea...Stina and I need to plan something fun this weekend to relive some of the Magic. I have a feeling Konk Koolers will be involved.Maybe we should mix up a batch and smuggle them into the gym's steam room. We could relive the weather of Cozumel while drinking the official drink of Castaway Cay.

 

[kellyb2000]

UH OH!! I'll just bet that kid you wanted to pound on was mine!

No, No!! This was an older kid and believe it or not it was because of what...his lack of elevator etiquette!!!!!! And his mom just sitting there letting him talk to an adult like he knew what he was doing.
Dare I ask what happened with your son? The first time my son went was 2 years ago so he was 9 months old and it was so awful. It took me back to the days he had colic. This time, it was my sister's son who is a year and a half and he just had a bad time, too. He cried more this trip than he ever has.

 

[fltink]

If you want the TRUE effect, you'd have to have Konk Koolers in a large, very hot tanning both where you'd get truly toasted!

Kelly: My son was just off his normal schedule. He sleeps A LOT, 11-12 hours at night PLUS a 3-4 hour nap in the afternoon. On the cruise, he was getting about 7 hours of sleep a night and NO nap, so he was seriously sleep deprived! I had a couple of breakdowns because he was really clingy and wouldn't go to the kids' club until the 4th day. But after day 4 things improved because he went to the club each day for 1-2 hours. That was enough for me to relax and re-energize! Next time, maybe he won't still be needing naps and things will be easier. He'll be just over 4 at that time, so I'm sure we'll have a less stressful time.

Hi Holly! I remember seeing you and your cute son at Shutters, and other places too but I really clearly remember you two at Shutters. Such a cute kid you have. I hope you had a great time!

Actually, despite having to chase Tyler down the hallway a few times when he ran out of the restaurant at dinner, we did manage to have fun! I think it would be impossible NOT to have fun on a Disney cruise!

 

[hannacanna]

whoops, i got holly and kelly and their sons confused! i remember Kelly at Shutters and Holly, i remember you from the promenade lounge! we had a good conversation about tyler and his friend at the club and how he wanted to go play with her.

good to see you both again on the DIS.
