...not that anyone missed me though bear_laugh

WOW

Is about all I can say right now. We just returned from the most magical vacation ever bear_wub This vacation surpassed all our expectations.

I took over 730 photos.
We swam with sting rays.
Danced with the Disney characters.
Watched the only fireworks allowed on any cruise ship on "Pirate Night".
and saw the most fantastical shows where it even snowed real snow inside the theater.

I can't even begin to describe all the Disney wonder and magic of this vacation. I know it sounds corny but it's true. From the moment we set foot on board and they announced, " The Disney Ship Wonder welcomes THE PAUL FAMILY!!!" over loud speaker and were applauded, to the time we left...the magic never stopped. All I can say right now is that we loved it so much that we booked another cruise for next July. And this time we are signing up to swim with dolphins in the Bahamas. :dance: :dance: :dance:

I am still unpacking and will post photos later. Don't worry, I won't post them all! Maybe I could do a reporting live story. We haven't had one in a while.

I spent my 18th birthday in Disneyland Paris, so I can only imagine what this trip would have been like! Did they have any of the human characters, or just the 'suited and booted' guys?

Wow... so tempted by something like that... I can't wait to see your photos!

Ooh post pictures soon Judi. I do think ships spoil you for any other holiday, we have been on 4 and everything else dosen't compare now. We was on the Norweigen Sky a couple of years back and were docked in Nassau and one of the Disney Ships was docked right next to our ship and it looked huge, we could see on the deck and you could almost feel the party atmosphere on there, I would love to go on sometime. Maybe next year!

Judi, I've wanted to do the Disney cruise for years!! I can't wait to show your photos to my boys. Neither have been on a plane or a ship so they are a little leary of the idea. I'm so glad you had a great time!

Chloe, yes there were 'people' characters too. All the princesses, Belle, Snow White, Ariel, Cinderella. Then the Simba and Nala from The Lion King characters were more human in African costumes with mains. Pumba and Timone were the full body characters. And of course there was Mickey and Minnie in dressed up outfits one night, then Cruise Ship Captains attire, and beach outifts .

Tami, take your boys ! Flying is the safest way to travel and on the ship you feel no movement at all. It's really smooth.

Check out "Reporting Live" I have just posted day two in the Bahamas, swimming with stingrays and photos of Mickey and Minnie.
