We had the screen right at the end of our table on our Animator's Palette night. I do have pictures and video of Crush talking to Baylor. First though I need to get it all off my phone and on photo bucket!!!
Thank goodness Jen is writing most of the trip report, hopefully I'll be able to get the cruise part completed!!!
Hmmmm, that black bag, you haven't mentioned if it showed up yet.
I can remember that sail away party being a warm experience!
Oh the table next to us he was talking with them, we could hear and see pretty well, but that was still plenty fun just being in there! Kinda like a fish tank!
I can't wait to see your photos, I have to confess I was so busy with the kids I took fewer pics with them and us on the ship
, but hope to make that up in November. It is going to appear in the next post you'll see!!!
And yes, it was hot on deck!! They were better after they had come downstairs and cooled off and rinsed off.
I just started reading your TR and I must say that the one night in the tent is what convinced me to read
Can't wait to hear how that went!
The Dream looks amazing.
Well you seem to be an old pro at Ft. Wilderness! Cabins? We just wanted to try, it, more on that towards the end of the TR!!!!!
I am glad you are here reading along! I have better pics of the ship on my February TR, so if you want to see more of the ship, check that one!
I would say I am kid-proofed as they come. I will enjoy talking with your boys and seeing all of their fun energy when the time comes that we do meet them.
Next trip, I want to see video of Matt rockin' out to this parade, k?
DEAL!!!!!
I am sure you are very kid proof, teaching 2nd grade?? OMG. Not me thank you very much, I love them, and kids this age but I would be too stressed to be in charge of their learning at this age!!!!
But I bet your kids just love you because you make learning fun!!! You and Anita, I can only imagine!!!
You will meet them at some point I am sure!
This seems just a tiny bit crowded for one who is clasutrophobic. I'd have to watch from an upper deck, I think. I know a cruise would be fun and relaxing, but I have too many worries about the closed in spaces and a crowd like this. I wish they would give tours of the ship, though, because I would love to see it.
They do give tours of the boat, when you are on the cruise, but you can do that virtual tour on the cruise site! They have lots of cool images and floor plans!! It really doesn't feel claustrophobic, it is massive! Big crowds at the shows, and on the decks at time, but not always, and there are so many places to slip away and grab some personal space! I saw lots of the ship not being used!!!
Okay, at least Matt was able to check the car before the ship left, but where is the bag??? I would be majorly panicked about the medication AND the shoes!
Fun Sail Away party and dinner! Did you have the first dinner seating? My head always swims when I look at all the options for dinner seatings and shows. Which did you go with?
Okay, it will make it's appearance in the next post, don't worry!!!
The Sail Away party and Animator's made the first night so much fun!!! We did 2nd seating on our own. We did 1st seating with the kids. We are stuck with 2nd seating with the kids in Nov... I may try to get it for 1st seating. My take? With yours? GO for 2nd seating. You end up with a little more time to hang out daily... you can always get something to snack on before the show, then have dinner... it is later, not sure if you usually eat that late? But in the summer, I just felt we could have spent more time hanging out, vs. getting ready for dinner by 4:45 -- if you say an hour before (it didn't take us always that long, but just for an average example, let's say. ) So in my mind, with older kids, I would do the 2nd seating. You go see the show at 6:30, then have less than an hour before dinner, to see the sun setting, etc... and then after, there are tons of things going on , live stuff, movies, etc. So you are breaking up your evening more.... otherwise it is dinner then go go go .... KWIM?
And for some of the shows they do more than the two shows so you can do one earlier than the official seating for 2nd or 1st dinner seating. If that makes sense....
Your boys are just adorable~~ and ALWAYS so perfectly dressed!! I think I read your trip reports just to get a glimpse of their fashion.
Thankyou!! Well, I try not to be too matchy-matchy with them, people think they are twins sometimes b/c one is barely bigger than the other, but they are starting to get picky about clothes, so who knows they may not look as together as they do when am the one laying out the clothes!!!!
Of course, with all that food you were about to eat that cholesterol med was going to have to work overtime!
I'm especially excited to hear about Vero since we'll be going for the first time in May 2012 
FOUR months from today we head off on our Thanksgiving cruise!! 7 nights in the caribbean! I can't wait! Granted we will be on the Magic, not the Dream, but we thought the Wonder was, well, wonderful, so I am sure the Magic will be magical... 
Having the first dining rotation means that there is still considerable daylight when you leave the dining room, so we took advantage of the location, and strolled on deck 4 outside, and then up to deck 8 and our room.... here is what was waiting for us, including chocolates on our pillows!!! Which in this photo have mysteriously disappeared.....
