Two Weeks of fun! - POFQ, BLT & DCL

We checked in and made sure we had Annie Marie as our waitress. If you are on the Magic you should see if she is still on the ship! She was sooo great!

I'm loving your TR! The pictures are fabulous! That pasta that you had on the first night just so happens to be something I've been thinking about since returning from our Alaska cruise.:lmao: That stuff was GOOD! It was definitely my favorite food during our cruise! Can't wait to read more!

Just found your report, loving it! The kids are too cute. Can't wait to meet them!
 


I went to write an update last night and I found out I need to loan up more pictures!!! I will try to work on it this weekend. We leave for our next vacation in 32 days and I must be finished this by then!!!:rotfl2:
 
I am loving your trip report and your niece and nephew are just precious! Seeing all of your pictures and hearing your excitement I can hardly wait to go on our first Disney cruise next April. We are going on the Fantasy April 21-28, 2012! :cool1:

We are booked on the fantasy for August 18 2012 and are still in the stages of planning where to stay and for how long before and after the cruise, blt looks beautiful may have to try it in a future trip :thumbsup2
 


Really enjoying your report, I have to go back and read the Disney World portion too. My family and I are doing BLT followed by the 7 night Western this November so your trip report is like a preview of my trip! I can't wait!
 
So since my husband is in India and I am stuck here I am going to get this Trip Report finished! I have to, we leave for our next vacation in 9 days!

January 12, 2011 ~ Day 10

Today was our Cozumel Beach day. We had made reservations are Nachi Cocom. It is a private Beach club that only allows 100 people a day to use it. It was raining when we got off the ship, but we still had to go or they would charge my credit card. One thing I didn't like was that they will only charge your credit card if you don't show up, if you do show up you have to pay cash.

We got off the boat and made our way to the taxi stop. It was a huge long line and I can only imagine how long it would be if it was not raining. We got a taxi and made the 30 minute drive to Nachi Cocom. Our drive was uneventful. Alyssa was so excited about her beach day!

We got there and checked in and discovered my sister didn't read her emails and didn't bring enough money. We begged them to just charge the card on file and they wouldn't. UGH! So Alyssa had to go to the bathroom and we made plans to just head back to the ship. Well a very nice couple who was on our ship offered to lend my sister the money. We accepted and felt like fools but tried to enjoy the rest of our day!

It was so pretty! We sat on the beach some. Alyssa loves the beach!

6068247324_1cdfe51429_z.jpg


We went up to the cafe area and ordered lunch. The electricity kept flashing on and off.

Here is a pitcure of my Pretty sister and my nephew.

6066294105_01795b9c42_z.jpg


After lunch we got back in the hot tub. It was too cold to get into the pool. It was all so beautiful. I would go back again for sure.

Alyssa showed off her swimming skills.

6066301541_8f76e1931c_z.jpg


I would have enjoyed laying here reading my book for hours.

6066309007_e94046cc8b_z.jpg


After enjoying some drinks and some more time in the hot tub we headed back to the ship.

There was a band in the market place playing music and we stopped and listened for a while. The tile floor of the marketplace was sooo slippery. We made out way carefully to the boat and went to shower and all before dinner.

This little cutie came over and spent some time with us.

6066854622_5f8f8cd100_z.jpg


Tonight was pirate night. Would I get to see the fireworks? I hope so.

6066856514_14bf003555_z.jpg


Alyssa was a bit scared of Captian Hook, but she can't wait to meet him this cruise. Thank you Jake and the neverland pirates!

6066316547_c4faf3f481_z.jpg


After showering Pete and I headed up to the DVC office. We did it. We bought Disney Vacation Club. Bay Lake Towers!!

6066328293_18cecef346_z.jpg


We went to dinner afterwards so excited!

Dinner was good.

Alyssa was all decked out in her Pirate outfit. She was excited about the party.

6066878494_7afe637367_z.jpg


After a fast desert we headed up to the party.

6066336771_05cff9ef2d_z.jpg


6066880240_20d69bc562_z.jpg


Laura took the baby to their room and I took Alyssa to the top deck to get seats for the party. Pete and Brandon went with us. They were looking at the waves on the side of the ship. It was INSANE. The water was all coming out of the pools, the decks were soaked. We were rocking like no other cruise I have ever been on. Then it happened...the worst! Alyssa coughed twice then threw up all over me and all over the poor unsuspecting people below us! OMG was it a mess. I called to Brandon who took her and went to shower, Pete and I went another way to our cabin. I got in the shower myself and my sister collected my clothes to go wash them.

I got out of the shower and got my Pj's on. Then I heard a little knock on my door. It was Alyssa. She came in and told me she was sorry she "Frowed up" on me! I asked if she felt sick and she said no the wind just got stuck in her throat. She was coughing and she does have the weakest gag reflex ever! So I don't think it was sea sickness. I do however wish she had eaten less for dinner and maybe skipped desert! LOL She asked me if I would come lay with her and read her a book. I went into my sisters room and climbed into bed with Alyssa. We read one book then she snuggled up to me and fell fast asleep.

Pete and Brandon went to the movies and after about an hour of snuggling I went back to my room! I have never felt a ship move like it did that night!
 
Nachi Cocom looks beautiful!!! But that's odd that they can charge a credit card if you don't show up, but not if you do... Makes no sense to me... But glad the couple lent your sister the money so you could all enjoy the beach...

Bummer about Alyssa getting sick all over everyone... Not a very magical way to end the day...

Since you're now DVC, are you heading to BLT in 9 days???
 
So much to do on this Monday morning. What got done first...reading your trip report. Cant wait to read more...maybe after I get something off my to do list.:banana::banana:
 
NancyLuvsMickey - It was so nice of them. They reconized us from the ship. Disney people are the best! My sister got the money right back to them as soon as she got back on the ship. She also bought their little boy a pin as a Thank you!

I wish we were heading to BLT (my favorite hotel ever), but we are doing 2 nights at the Animal Kingdom Lodge (I didn't want the kids to be sad seeing the Magic Kingdom when we arn't visiting it), then a 3 night/4 night Back to back followed by 2 nights at the Wilderness Lodge!

I can not wait. My sister and kids will be with us for the 1st half of the B2B then my husband and I will have our very first cruise alone! LOL

LuvEyore - I am so glad to start your Monday off right!!
 
Ok...I gotta get this done. We are heading back to WDW in only 19 days and I really want this Trip Report AND September's (yet to be started) done before we travel again!

Sooo where did I leave off.........
 
January 13, 2011 ~ Day 11

We started today off with a little princess Meet and Greet!!!

6066898918_4587efce96_z.jpg


We walked around the ship for a while and then Pete and I settled into some chairs waiting for our Tea Party with Alice. We were lucky. We had the sweetest princess going with us.

6066919744_11a66d1f2b_z.jpg


The Tea Party was fun even if we did have bad seats. This tea party started a love of Alice for Miss Alyssa.

Today was pretty low key. It was nice, they had a Matinee showing of Disney Dreams. We didn't make it to that show, but were ready at 6:00pm for your show.

6066430853_a182ec69eb_z.jpg


After the show, Pete and I ran back to our room to get dressed for dinner.

6067000668_5c4ff00fcf_z.jpg

6066995196_337ca2c12c_z.jpg


Dinner was stressful. Poor Alyssa was over tired, Brandon was sick and Laura was handling it all by herself. After a threat of going to Bed Alyssa was in much better spirits.

6066987034_bfe1f4875c_z.jpg

6066989192_70f457a698_z.jpg


Austin was in a great mood during dinner!

6066989192_70f457a698_z.jpg

6066449883_de963c6f32_z.jpg


After dinner Pete and I took a stroll on Deck 4. My favorite place for quiet!

6066996042_2b831433d5_z.jpg


We ended the day with a movie. I can not remember which one.

6066452127_dc9e7f7c2f_z.jpg


We headed to bed, a big was up for tomorrow...Castaway Cay!
 
Day 12 - January 14, 2011 - Castaway Cay

Today is our last day of the cruise!!! Sooo sad, it's almost over! Today was the day we were heading to Castaway Cay.

A little over two years before this day we were here.....

3061403736_b77e76e4c8_z.jpg


Everytime I visit Castaway Cay I replay my wedding day in my head. Best day of my life!!!

We had breakfast and then we were ready to head to the beach! Sadly it was very cool and very over cast.

We made the best of it. On our way to the gangway we ran into these guys!

6066456501_96e732db5b_z.jpg


Once we got off the ship we saw a beautiful bride. Ahhh what I wouldn't give to relive this day!

6066457327_44f072ae38_z.jpg


We also ran into this guy. I love when we see Captain Jack. He is always so funny. Disney does a great job casting.

6066458127_7758852a96_z.jpg


You can see in this picture the overcast. One of the risks of cruising in a low crowd, low cost season!

6066462901_c204da7c83_z.jpg


We only had a few minutes to wait for a tram to head to the family beach.

We boarded the tram and I tried to get the kids to pose for a few pictures. LOL
6067008734_5a92ff335e_z.jpg

6067008990_0b44d451b6_z.jpg


We were heading to our seats, near the slides and saw this.
6066468701_dfdb0bf0ff_z.jpg


I love the aisle. Look at this....Ahhhh...memories....
3061400834_0ea7be7228.jpg


Ok OK...Back to the trip report.

We set up our stuff in a good location. It was way to chilly to go swimming. Alyssa did not even have an interest in it. So we hung out, listened to music, read a bit and played.

6066470953_7173c355f0_z.jpg


We got lunch from Cookies Too....It was good as always.

6067040350_1d5bdcd136_z.jpg


We headed over to take a picture in the spot we said "I DO"

6067042964_2a6f9fc4a8_z.jpg

3061395266_a9bd404cf5_z.jpg


Ok, I slipped another one in. I can't help it. This is what I do the whole time I am on the island.

6066501459_321cba0fe4_z.jpg


My sister recreated my walk down the aisle.

6067050744_713f765791_z.jpg


Austin didn't want to take part in the reenactment.

6067175724_5941551543_z.jpg


6067048304_e19294604c_z.jpg


My sister decided the kids needed a nap. So Pete and I headed to the Adult Only beach when the rest of the family went back tot he ship.

I laid on the hammock a while, but the skies were getting darker and darker.

6067187816_038d1f8fc0_z.jpg


We were the only people on the beach. It was dark and chilly!

6067190278_415cda5fec_z.jpg


We hopped a tram back to the ship. Two last pictures before we got back onboard for our last night.

Day 12 - January 14, 2011 - Castaway Cay, Part 2

We got back on the ship and got ready for our last night. My sister and family attended the show. Pete and I did not.

Alyssa spent lots of time in our room. We loved having the little visitor.

6067197602_8315374f25_z.jpg


Before dinner these two were out posing for pictures.

6066658309_2d7d9ee9fd_z.jpg

6067208044_856017c56e_z.jpg


Dinner was casual tonight. Thank goodness since we had packed up almost everything to put outside our room.

6066665577_8f1815a483_z.jpg


6067210766_647b34ddec_z.jpg


Orange Roughy, best meal I had all week in the regular dining rooms (not including Palo)

6066667777_b3e654cb03_z.jpg


6066669659_327e4d1cb3_z.jpg


The farewell is always so much fun. We rushed around to get final character pictures before I got a good spot in the balcony to get the group picture!!

My first visit with Princess Tianna. I love her!

6067230012_3beb6326bc_z.jpg


Alyssa collected lots of Mickey Confetti.

6067246284_c0a7c3a4fb_z.jpg


We were greeted with these little guys. What a nice surprise for our last night.

6067250192_9d0efa483c_z.jpg


We had a visitor before bed.

6067250420_71e7a5a4d5_z.jpg


She came bearing gifts...

6066706475_80907e0b2e_z.jpg


We ordered room service for the last time. I had cruises all week without a Mickey Bar. I wanted one before I got off the ship.

6067251812_be3c47762e_z.jpg

6066707741_73deaf66e6_z.jpg


We headed to bed. Tomorrow was the day we were heading home.
 
Day 13 - January 15, 2011

Today we got up and had breakfast in Triton's and headed off the ship. We almost missed our flight and got the last 5 seats on the plane. It was stressful to say the least. I have No pictures from today!

Once we got home we all crashed!

It was a great vacation and made me sure that a week was the way to go!
 
I needed to. I wanted to start the next one.
