Our Wonderful Disney Cruise: How I See it All Unfolding

An Essay

At 7 a.m., Dad awakes us, saying "WE ONLY HAVE 5 HOURS TO GET YOU THERE! GET UP!" even though it's only a 2-hour drive, tops. Ah, Dad yelling at get me up. Just like the old days. I sure hope he's forgotten about the turn-on-the-lights-in-the-bedroom-that'll-wake-your-a**-up trick.

As we travel towards Port Canaveral with Mom and Dad, we cross over the massive 1A bridge and behold the beauty of the Disney Magic. In the back seat, Bill and I become giddy and giggle like school children, making Dad gun it, just to get us the "heck" of out of the car. Hugs and good-byes, "have a nice trip", and we're off to check in.

As we go into the terminal, the fresh smell of alcohol and dead crawfish lingers. We know that Mike and Wendy have dutifully arrived before us.

So much to look at, so many to see ... we look for green shirts. We see one! We consult the cruisemate list ... is it? Yes! That's her! We grab that person from behind, whip her around, and realize that we have no idea who she is. The front of the shirt says, "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine." Drat! A crummy commercial! We apologize profusely to the frightened unidentified co-cruiser, making note to avoid her throughout the rest of the trip, and head towards the ship.

After the initial running around, eating, etc., we make our way to the Family Meet with regional gift in hand. I wonder how my tiara will look over my tuque? I think it will work.

Every member of the crew knows Kathy and Greg on a first-name basis. Jeff sits at the bar buying drinks for ... just about everyone at this point (Go Browns!). Steve thanks me again for Pat's makeover, Stephen curses me for it. Bob resigns himself to the fact that he cannot get the captain to change the ship's horn to the Dukes of Hazzard theme. From across the room, I see a vision ... yes, it's Dream Boat Wally . I run to get my hug, but find that I have to stand in line for my turn.

And that's just some of how I see it all unfolding.

That's awesome Shell

Family voted against the green shirts but we will be wearing the Home Depot paint samples with our names on them so please keep an eye out for us Foxes!

Maybe we can make it into a TV mini-series!

Casting could be interesting!

UMMMM very interesting.....who would you cast for "Tiara Bob"? Actually if Seinfield was a series I think that this would make for a good movie....Lets write to Larry David and see what he thinks.....!!!!!

My personal goal today is to reach 100 posts total (Man I'm such a newbie)

But it won't be this morning. We're off to rehearsal for the Nutcracker! Apparently Patrick is given a headless teddy bear in the ballet, and has to burst into tears. I wouldn't want to be the one to decapitate that poor bear

We are going to such a sight at the airport !! Tomorrow I am off to Mall ( shocker for me right) but I haven't been there in 2 weeks to get a few presents that I forgot and my Mani and Pedi. Well let me go because DH just said that his parents are here !!!

Good afternoon all!

- Josh
P.S. Who thinks we can make it to 6000 before we leave? That's really stretching it, but that'd be sweet!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Kelly for DS!!

Shell,
love the story, I am waiting to hear about the rest of the week now??

Josh,
If we post as good this week as last week, we night make 6000.
But you and your mom have to post twice a day to help out.
Even if you just say hello, I'm off to school and hello I'm home from school. That will help.

I finished buying what we needed for the cruise today. So we are good to go now.

Keep up all the post guys, Josh has challenged us to hit 6000
Plus this is the lat week for Bananas. I will be counting them up to early Friday morning and then I wont be near a computer, so have your all posted by then.

Kathy
P.S. Am I the only one to think how quiet and boring our lives are gonna be after the cruise?? No thread to post on or read for a good laugh each day
I think we all need to rebook another cruise on board together
Some how it just wont be the same.

 

[woogal]

I have a song request for Tiara Bob and the Dream Boats: Rubberband Man by The Spinners.

 

[woogal]

Maybe we can make it into a TV mini-series!

Casting could be interesting!

I think Catherine Zeta-Jones should play me. Or Kathy Bates.

 

[Dixielady908]

I think Catherine Zeta-Jones should play me. Or Kathy Bates.

Shell I was actually thinking for your part Michelle Peiffer...
Tiara Bob: Jim Bulushi
Dreamboat Wally : Toby Keith

Good afternoon bannana heads
We got our door signs done finally. My kids made 3 and I made 1. Today I am going to get some more packing done.

Lynn to DH

Kelly you sound like me buying all of those things to try to stay healthy. I bought airborne to. I am going to take it before we fly. My oldest daughter is complaining of a sore throat She took 2 vitamins today. I will keep thinking positive thougts. We won't get sick we won't get sick

[woogal]

Jeff ... did you hear that? It was me, screaming in agony on that last play of the game . Bottoms up!

 

[Dixielady908]

I finished packing....I finished packing..

Ok all the clothes are done.....all I have left is all the last minue things we will use in the morning before we leave.....Wally cant believe it....he keeps saying..are you sure you have everything? Well if I dont too bad, just have to wear the same clothes a few times......

I had all this stuff in my DD room and what a mess, now the room is semi clean....once I get all the luggage out, I can dust and get the rest of her room in order.....

I wasnt feeling well friday and yesterday...so I took some of the airborne and actually I feel better today. Now just my back is bothering me, with all the packing, bending and picking up of heavy luggage.

Well going to sit and chill for awhile then get dinner or supper started.

Later
Denise

[disneediva]

OK today has been a horrible day at work...

Shell, you told me no crawfish so that won't be what you're smelling

Have to get back to work, I'll check in when I get home

 

[ICEMANPAD]

Hey Tonya, Trey and the rest of the bananas... We are on the Magic this week and posting live on the trip reports board. I cannot guarantee that we will disembark on saturday to let ya'all board!!!

Lisa

 

[dreamboatwally]

Hi all I ,myself cannot wait to meet you all It's a few days away. so my new friends see you soon. Shell, no waiting in line for you, just as you see the line to Dreamboat Wally, just walk around it, and come to to the front of the line. You are number ONE.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Lisa,
They will have to let our group on board because we have a new musical group to perform called Tiara Bob and the Dreamboats! They are the 8th wonder of the world and a part of our group!!
If y'all dont get off, all the women will riot and cause a scene. They have been promised front row seats at their debut performance, an dyou know how violent women can get about their idols!!

So for your own safety I suggest you disembark on time or you may be hurt in the stampede or blamed for the riot at the terminal.
