Was Live Now Great Memories from the DVC Member Cruise

[WDWLVR]

In past years we've enjoyed doing live reports from the DVC Member Cruise and plan to do the same this year.

Our trip starts Thursday with the drive down. We should arrive on Friday afternoon. Saturday we have a DIS meet planned at the Beach Club and then Sunday we cruise. Looking forward to all that DVC has in store for us and in getting back on the Wonder.

I'll change the title once we get on the ship.

Mary,

I love your "live" threads! Will be in WDW so I'll have to read all about it after I return home!

Just wanted to wish you and Mark a safe, magical trip. Bon Voyage!


I can't wait to hear about the *gifts*. I have faith this trip will be back to the original spirit of the Member Cruise, and not a "sales pitch"! Enjoy!

Subscribing. You know I want to hear all about it!

Hey, would you mind picking something up for me while you're onboard? We can either pay for you to ship it or we'll get it the next time we see you. That ok?

No problem. Would you like a creme brulee to go with that?

Actually, I know they are serving it in the other restaurant. Can I get it from there?

Day 1 is finished!

Got up at 4 am and the weather forcast didn't look as bad as we thought so we hit the road. As we were approaching the tollway we saw traffic standing still. Not a good sign at that hour. So we bypassed it and took another road and turned on a local radio station. Turns out there was a major accident right where we were going to get on. All lanes of traffic stopped for close to 2 hours. Good thing we bypassed it. About 1/2 hour in the rain got heavier and we heard that the area we were heading was under a tornado watch. Oh fun! Some nasty bits of rain but only for a few hours. Rest of the trip was in great weather. Got to the hotel in Dalton, GA around 4:30 Central, 5:30 Eastern. Checked in, then headed out to grab some dinner. We are now back chilling in the room. Heading off to bed soon as tomorrow is going to be another early day and looks like we might have some more rain.

Thanks to all who are keeping us in your thoughts. You know who you are and it is much appreciated!

This time tomorrow we should be in Epcot or maybe back in the room at Boardwalk depending on how wiped we are.

 

[justmestace]

AWESOME!! Have fun at EPCOT!!

 

[ohiominnie]

ugh. That Chicago traffic is a killer!
Glad you missed the worst of the weather.
I'm at KT's HSM rehearsal but I'd rather be on my way to the member cruise.

Cool! TOP!!

Good morning everyone! Ready to hit the road this morning. More storms in our way so keep us in your thougts. Thanks!

I don't know where Dalton is, but I hope you have better weather than we are getting....

 

[RachelTori]

I don't know where Dalton is, but I hope you have better weather than we are getting....

Dalton is north of Atlanta - it's the "Carpet Capitol of the World"!!

We're having spotty showers in Georgia - the drought continues. Sorry about all the violent weather y'all are having. Actually, your storms are preventing our area from getting the rain we need. Something about "closing off the gulf moisture flow" to Georgia. (we'd appreciate it if you'd stop that!!!JK)

 

[JOANNEL]

I would love for it to stop. I am sitting at my desk just watching it pour. I want to be out of here by 1. But I am not getting much done.
