FYI...we've been at DCA for a bit less than 3 hours and Kimberly has already made me snap roughly 250 photos. Help!

It's all for a good cause.

Hey everyone. We had a great trip. I plan on starting the report in a few days as we are still unwinding. The link will be enclosed here soon after. Even though I planned on taking a DIS break for the trip, I had no idea that I would have no choice. Just before leaving the house, my iPhone fell into the toilet. It was in my back pocket, because I planned on playing with it the entire car ride. I gave it plenty of time to dry, but it never re-started. We are going to look into fixing it tomorrow, since we got back so late last night. Crap has an iPhone and iPad but barely allowed me to touch either the entire trip for fear I may break them. He stole the laptop at night to work, so I guess that was justified.

Awesome Finish! I love the pic of Connor with Chip. That is so sweet. I teared up a little when I read that Xander cried when it was time to go. That is the sign of a great trip! Thanks for the tip on the quick service breakfast. We are not big breakfast people anyway, and the thought of a 6am breakfast on our last day was not really exciting me, lol. Where was the Quick Service breakfast? Cabanas???

Have a MAGICAL time in Disneyland, and give Connor lots of hugs and kisses from all of your "imaginary Disney friends" (That is what my husband and kids call my DIS friends)

Thanks. I love that picture too. Xander's reaction to leaving surprised me, because he had never reacted to leaving a trip that way. After this Disneyland trip, he has now reacted that way twice. He never cried when we left Disneyworld though. Go figure. I believe Cabanas and other places on the ship had quick service breakfast. The places and times available will be listed in your navigator that your steward delivers everyday.

We had a great time. Thanks. I think Connor was showered with lots of hugs. He had a big group there for him. Imaginary Disney friends is a good one.

Have a great time at DLR and I hope everything works out with the celebration!

Thanks for sharing your trip.

Thanks. It was a great trip.

You're welcome. I enjoyed sharing it.

I call them "Friends-in-a-Box" or my 2D friends. It's hard to think of my Dis friends as Imaginary!

I stole that term from you.

Well I finally got caught up and you're all done! At least you followed the unwritten rule of finishing a trip report before you start another trip! Sounds like you had a great time. I'll be looking forward to hearing about your Disneyland experience, and especially food porn from the Carthay Circle Restaurant.

I go to a salon and my haircuts are $10, I have to tip the guy $10 just to not feel guilty about how little he charges me.

I tried to get it all done before we left. It is easier to switch gears when one is all finished. The food at Carthay Circle was devine.

If he charges you $10 at a salon, he is giving you a great deal. I pay more than that to get the Xander's haircuts at a kiddie haircut place. He has to be grateful for the 100% tip though.

Great trip report! Glad to hear you and your family had such a great time!

Thank you. We really did have a great time and cannot wait to do it again.

FYI...we've been at DCA for a bit less than 3 hours and Kimberly has already made me snap roughly 250 photos. Help!

It would be nice if I did not have to remind you to take them though. I would also like it if you did not get mad when I asked you too. Having no phone to take backup pictures either meant our pics were entirely up to you. Thanks for taking on the burden.

Make sure you keep the camera battery charged so we can see the food porn from the Carthay Circle!

We did forget some meal pictures, but I am certain we got all of those. I think I even got a shot of the secret entrance to your club. When Connor would not sit still at the table, I walked with him in the hallway and kept seeing people coming out of the wall (or a door hidden in the wall).

It's not like she didn't warn you...

The TR readers need the photos Crap. You're taking one for the team!

Have a great trip!!

He really did take one for the team. With the loss of my phone, I relied on him to take the majority of the pictures.

I agree, keep snapping!

Great TR I really enjoyed reading along, looking forward to the next one!

I think we got most of the important shots. I know we did not have any days like our first MK day last trip where he barely took any photos.

Thank you.

Crap, you're making a lot of Disers very happy!




Happy 1st Birthday Connor!

Yes, he was unhappy about it at times, but he got a lot of great shots.

Thank you. Connor had a great birthday.

It's all for a good cause.

I thought of you whenever Crap complained about taking pictures knowing that you would have taken 10 for every 1 he took. Your reports always have such wonderful photos.

Nice shot. Please remember to give me the pictures from your cell phone this time. Thanks.

yay! I can't wait to hear all about it! Cars land looks great.

Pictures do not even do Cars Land justice. It is so beautiful in person. Disney really did a great job with it.

Looking forward to hearing all about your trip.

It was a great trip, and I am excited to share.

Carsland looks great!! Hope to make it there one day!

I hope you do too. Logan would probably love it. He only needs to be 40" to ride the biggest ride, so he is probably already there. You are about to go to WDW, so I think he will be okay until he gets to Cars Land.

Welcome back! I can't wait to hear all about it!

So sorry about your phone, that really sucks.

Thanks.

I am nervous to see what the phone ordeal is going to cost. It would have been nicer if it did not happen right before vacation. Knowing it would be expensive, I bought the boys less souvernirs than I wanted to.

So if it makes you feel better, I lost my work Blackberry in the toilet too. At least I got an Iphone out of the deal.

Sorry about yout iphone!

Thanks for the Cars Land pic, CrapBag!

I can't wait to read that report!

I had a Blackberry before my iPhone and thought I would never go back. I had a loaner Blackberry for this trip, since I did not have enough time to go get a new phone or dry this one out to get it fixed before the trip. More than ever, I never want to own another Blackberry. If your work did not charge you for the borken phone, I think it was a win/win for you. You got rid of the Blackberry and picked up a free iPhone!

 

[kmedina]

Sorry about yout iphone!

Thanks for the Cars Land pic, CrapBag!

I can't wait to read that report!

Yeah. It was a sad day when my phone failed to restart.

Crap had to take the iPhone photos, since he would not let me use his.

I am excited to sahre it.

I let you use it a few times...when you were far away from bodies of water.

 

[kmedina]

Exactly, you hovered over me the few times you allowed me to touch it and demanded it right back. I was never able to take any pictures with it. You even asked me not to drop it into the water glass at dinner the first night. I would much rather my phone fall into a water glass than a toilet by the way.

I am a little late in getting back....thank yo for the wonderful cruise TR! You inspired us!

You're weclome. It really was an easy, relaxing, fun vacation. We cannot wait to do it again.

 

[CandleontheWater]

Welcome back! I'm glad to hear that your trip went well, but I'm sorry about the Iphone. I hope it is back up and running soon!

Looking forward to the TR!

Thanks. The trip was awesome. Crap is taking the phone to a Genius tonight. We'll see how it goes. After all, Sheldon Cooper does question why they are called Geniuses.

I hope to have the report up and running in 2-3 days.

I don't know how, but I lost my subscription to this thread. Glad you haven't posted the link to the new TR yet.
