Way Early I know but anyone going on Eastern May 1-8 2004?

[jrydberg]

I keep checking, but I'm in that post-cruise low

Of course, Alyssa wants to go on another cruise immediately. Actually, so do I, but there is that little matter of paying the bill She had so much fun yesterday evening telling all her friends about the cruise and showing them her shirt signed by all the characters.

Funny, it turns out one of her best friends at daycare did a 4 night cruise last year. Definitely gonna have to do another one, but I just don't think a 3/4 nighter would be enough!

I'm with ya'll. I am having serious withdrawals. Not only are we stuck back in the real world, we are pulling away from posting.

My kids loved the lab and the club so much that they usually didn't even eat with us. They wanted to go straight to the club. Jonathon thought he was so big being able to check himself in and out and I felt good giving him a little bit of freedom in a controlled setting. Did I say controlled?!? I just remembered that I met a lot of you!

The highlight of my trip was when my daughter got to go on stage with Snow White in the Golden Mickeys. She made the cutest little dwarf. When I asked her which one she was, she was quick to tell me that she was the BOSS!

Our dining room experience was fabulous. You guys can say what you want, but our waiters, Carlos and Glen, were the greatest. We even ended up tipping the waiter for the next table a little bit because he was great entertainment! HIs name was Adrian.

Well, I will post more later, but I guess I need to do a LITTLE work.

Count me in the PDCD group too! Perhaps we should form a support group. Hmmm... where would be a central location for all of us... Kansas City? Nebraska? No, no, no... How about the Disney Magic?!

I have to say that I also miss all of you guys. It was always so much fun running into all of you in the halls and clubs; sailing on the Golden Eagle with Joe, Jen, Ted, Bill and Billy; hiking up a mountain (well, ok, a hill) with Brenda, Bob, Ted, Bill, and Billy while Thunderhawk talked about St. John; and looking forward to dinner each night with Conny and Silke. (BTW, Guavaberry Liquor does weigh a ton, doesn't it? )

I've been trying to re-capture some of the Disney Magic in subtle little ways. For instance, I tried to force Travis to pull back the bed, dim the lights, and fold towel animals for me but he refuses.

I have most of you guys on my Dis "Buddy List" and I keep finding myself checking to see if you all are on the boards or not. And, of course, I keep checking the thread.

I wish I could take you all back on the Magic with us on our Back-to-Backs! If I had the moola that Bill Gates has I would! (Hey, it's the thought that count's right?! )


Julie--

Our thread not on the first page of the Cruise Meets forum?!?!?! It cannot be! Here comes another bout of the PDCD! you guys rebooked onboard, right? you'll have to start a thread for that cruise. Go forth Disney Magic May 1st Cruiser and show them how it's done!


Jen--

Make sure you and your husband get back on the Magic sometime soon. I mean, I'm good but I need someone to help me out with all that Fairy Tale Cuvee.


Jeff--

I really admire the way Alyssa thinks. No worries (about bills), be happy!

What a magical sentiment Jason!!!!!

If we ever hit our state lottery up here, we'll book a cruise for us all, you can count on it!!! Course don't hold your breath on that., but we can all dream or wish.

Also, Jason I saw your coming soon on the threeCircles site. We are soooo jealous!!! Hope you have a great time on that cruise as well!!!!

Jeff -- I agree!!! I was on a 3 day wonder cruise and man is it short! It's over before it starts. Which is why we decided to book the 7 night this time.

So glad to see that i am not alone in my depression!! I have been working on my trip report (been posting it one day at a time) and looking through all of our pictures. Joe doesn't usually get too hyped up about vacations, but you would not believe the funk he is in right now! He is moping around the house and surfing the 'net trying to plan a way to get us on another DCL cruise. And i have to say that each day i think back "Last week at this time i was .... laying out on deck 10 or walking through the buffet line or flying along on the Golden Eagle Catamaran."

WAAAAAAAA .... I WANT TO GO BACK!


And i agree ... knowing each other via this thread really made the whole cruise more fun!

Can we go again? Pretty please?

[ScrapHappyMama]

Hey everyone, count us in the post cruise depressed group too!!! We had an absolutely wonderful time, and cannot wait to go back again (even though Robbie did bring home a nasty stomach virus with him.... but symptoms didn't start til we were safely back at our own house, so at least he didn't suffer on the cruise!!! and he is almost better now, so it's all good)

My only regret is that I didn't get to meet more of you!!!

Hi guys.

It sucks being back in reality.Workload is already really heavy,no weekend for me.And opn top of that the MRT showed that I have a subtotal rupture in my knee and might need surgery.Great,can I go back and do the rehab on the MAgic?If yes,the thought of surgery doesn´t sound so bad.Over here it´s so cold and rainy,I wanna go back.
I managed to bring my films to have them developted nd was shocked to see I had taken 12 rolls and over 150 on digital.It will take ages to ge3t them organised.
an´t wait to read some trip reports,I´ll hope I find some time to write one on my own,but seriously doubt it.

Take care everybody
Conny
PS:Jason,I miss my Fairy tale cuvee!!!!!!!!!

 

[hannahandkatesmommy]

I think I have you all beat! My family thought I was hired as the ships photographer, our friends thought I was nuts. I took over 600 digital pictures, and not great ones that I want to share. Yes, there is the typical one of my husband fondeling the towel monkey after a long day of cocktails....(that sounds bad, but I guess it would sound worse if you didn't know there were true towel monkeys in our room....) and me flashing my B%$bs at the RCCL Mariner as we passed but most are of the girls with their smiles from ear to ear and I can't have enough of those..... sadly, there are a few of me in my bathing suit....those must be destroyed...

[hannahandkatesmommy]

Oh- I forgot ...Jenn Lynn, I need scrapbook lessons/motivation. I bought the Cruise Line scrapbook and intend(key word) to start it soon. Any advice? I know you are only 2 hours away, how bout some private lessons....

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

PhillyJen,

I need to see a post from Headgear, we are tired of him Lurking. Anyone who can make a lime martini as good as he can should be able to learn how to post. I also love the fact that my boy left his mark on A1A, I have never been so proud of someone on his birthday, way to go HG Pat. BLUE, YOUR MY BOY!!!!!!

Also, remember next time you call Sean Hannity, you need to use the name PhillyJen from Syracuse, so that I know it is you. BTW I owe your husband at least one bottle of Vanilla Stoli's, thanks for the great last night in the party cabin, maybe next time we go we could return the favor.

Tom

P.S. come on Pat you don't need to post your picture.

 

[DisneyJam]

Oh- I forgot ...Jenn Lynn, I need scrapbook lessons/motivation. I bought the Cruise Line scrapbook and intend(key word) to start it soon. Any advice?

Uh oh... be carefull what you wish for. We have an entire room of our house dedicated to scrapbook supplies...

I know you are only 2 hours away, how bout some private lessons....

Whoa, are we still talking about scrapbooking??

Tell you what Philly Jen, You and HeadGear Pat make your way to our neck of the woods and we will steam up the shrimp and broil the crab cakes, if Head gear brings suppiles for a lime martini... Didn't get to try one on board but Tom keeps raving about them.

Oh and love the fact that pics of you in a bathing suit must be destoryed, but pics of you flashing your B%$bs at the RCCL Mariner are ok.

Sorry, I missed that!

BowTie Joe

 

[hannahandkatesmommy]

Bow Tie Joe and Jenn, you just name the date and we will be there. Have kids, will travel!!! We go to syracuse for the night(4 hrs) all the time...


Headgear will be posting shortly.......stay tuned

 

[hannahandkatesmommy]

We are in the process of booking the RCCL Mariner for next spring so I hope they don't have hidden cameras or something that would prevent me from boarding! You know, some kind of Maritime Anti Breast Treaty or something.....

[Philly Jen]

Hi all, just decided to change my "handle"! Actually, since HG Pat decided to FINALLY get in the swing of things, I was logged off and can't for the life of me remember my password. Damn him. Anyway, he will be posting shortly. American Idol is coming so we must get the kids in jammies.

Bowtie, Joe- we are serious about the crab cakes if you were..... I'll bring my...er.... scrapbook

 

[Belle and Rella's Dad]

Hey I want to go, Maryland Crab Cakes, Shrimp Boil, and Head Gear Pats Lime Martinis, THAT DOESN"T SUCK!!!

BLUE, where are you?

 

[monkeyboysmith]

Stop being pansies!!! Just kidding, I just love to say pansy!!!

I've been trying to get back into work, I put in a whole 6 hours today. Most of which I spent chatting with Heidi and talking about BS with my co-workers. Fortunatel the boss left early to golf and I just "had" to get out.

I do have some lovely shots of Orient Beach, but I'm not sure I got to Philly Jen's coconuts.

I have made a twist one of the drinkd we had on the Pirate ship, the banana bender, we named it the "Sponge Bob" because it has pineapple juice. mmm tasty... Recipe: 4 parts pineapple juice, 1 part orange juice 2 parts Coconut Rum and 1 part Dark Rum... Guaranteed to put you back on island time!!!!

We miss you all!!! The longer I'm away the more good stuff I remember.

[Philly Jen]

More like Kiwi's

 

[DisneyJam]

Man still one nutty crowd!!!

Philly Jen -- Absolutely serious!! Fired you with a PM with contact info and a possible date. Don't let hubby lock you out of the account again.

Big Tom -- You all MI natives are more then welcome.. might be quite the drive for you though. I will shoot you an e-mail just in case you can somehow swing it.

Gonna try the recipe right now MonkeyBoy! May call it a "Return to the Magic" drink.

Seriously, missing you all!!

Hi All

We're also suffering from post disney depression! I head off to work tomorrow. Bill's been back since Monday. We got used to being treated like kings.
It was nice to meet Jason, Travis, Conny & Silke. Sorry about not getting to meet the rest of you.
We did get a nice call the night before we left Old Key West. They had upgraded us to a catogory 6 - veranda! SO that was a nice suprise.
Conny, Feel better soon!

Talk to you all later

[CM_Mom]

We're back in Texas. It's 10:30 pm. We had a truly Magical Time and enjoyed meeting all of you. Then we had 4 days at WDW and enjoyed that too (but not as much as the ship). I don't have time to read 4 pages of new posts tonight since I "acquired" a sore throat and stopped up head yesterday and I have to be at work at 8:00 am tomorrow.

Heard from DS that there's a new worm on the net so I may walk into a mess at work. Oh well, at least no one e-mailed me at home so it's probably under control without me.

I'll catch up with everyone tomorrow night.
