The Godfather's Live Trip Report, photopass added post #442

[wayneg]

Thank you sooo much for your live TR.

May I ask you something? How would you rate the new Star Tours as a non Star Wars Fan? We like Star Wars and 10 years ago I also thought that Star Tours 1 was a great attraction. We are thinking of heading to Star Tours right after rope drop.

Today I eventually rode the Harry Potter ride at Universal(couldn't do it last year but they have now added larger seats) with Virtual rides like this I will probably never do Star Tours again.

hi Wayne!!! how fun to meet you, Karen and Matt the other day!!!!

by the way, the tall guy is my husband, the tall blonde is my daughter and the short dark guy is my son-in-law.....
and the tall guy with the beard is my son, and the very very very very short girl is my daughter in law...

and of course, me, the nutty person running around looking for my family at toy story mania - acting appropriately manic!

i hope you're having a grand time on your cruise!!!

Hi Wayne, glad I met you in the ABC commisary, but so sorry we already had commiments for the Dis meet, on a downer at the mo as was straghit back to work on nights the day we landed back, jut looking through our photo`s on the PC, glad your all having a great time still with your family and god daughter, now the planning begins again for us but will be at least 2013 for our next visit unfortunately. enjoy the rest of your stay.

Great to meet both of you, shame it was only briefly.

Spoilt for choice.Between yours and Matts blog I have a good insight into DDream now. Was suprised there was no where for you guys to have a quiet beer on an evening Like you we like to have a night cap and a bit of peace before bed but at least we know not to go hunting for somewhere. A warm fleece and a baileys on deck I think
Cant believe your time has gone so quick. PLanning for next trip I presume now

After finding our cabin we went to the DISmeet at 2:30pm, I started the meet thread about 18 months ago when we booked the cruise. 4pm lifeboat drill, 5pm sailaway party, rushed back to the cabin so we could all shower for eve meal at 5:45pm. 1st evening was in Animators Palate.

Dizzy getting ready for sailaway party.

Plates

Chairs

All around are screens Crush comes to each area to talk to diners, just like at Epcot but a lot smaller audience.

The food. If anyone wants to know what anything is I will find out.

Dizzy trying a cocktail.

Show that evening was the Golden Mickey's

The food looks amazing - definitely makes me want to go next year

I watched the ship go off last week, but you werent waving

 

[Cyrano]

looking forward to hearing more about the DISmeet

Sounds like you are all having a great cruise. Matt has been giving a good account of the differences of the new cruise ship

 

[Tink2312]

The food looks wonderful - that beef dish looked a bit like a roast dinner minus the yorkshire pud
I'm really looking forward to our first cruise next year - can't wait to step aboard the Dream!
I did notice one thing though - I do hope Dizzy's drink was a mocktail!
