Disney Cruisin’ – Day 5 – At Sea

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Ahhh…a day to relax at sea! Or at least what passes for us as “relaxing”. I’m not sure I like the late dinner thing — we don’t get out of dinner until 10:30, and then we’re too full to go right to bed…but going to bed late means missing out on being out and about … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’ – Day 5 – At Sea"

Disney Cruisin’ – Day 4, Key West

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
An absolutely beautiful day today! Blue sky and highs in the 70s. We were still at sea when we woke up this morning — we weren’t due to dock in Key West until about noon. There was a DVC Members’ Get Together at 9:00, so we went to that, though we could only stay for … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’ – Day 4, Key West"

Disney Cruisin’ – Day 3

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
First thing’s first – we’re on the ship! And quite nicely settled in our cabin, but I’ll write more about that later. It’s been a great day. (This entry will be a bit light on photos since I’m trying to get it finished up in time!) They told us at the Cruise desk at Animal … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’ – Day 3"

Disney Cruisin’ – Day 1 and 2

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
We’re not actually cruising yet, but we are at least in Florida, so we are that much closer! We left San Diego this morning at the very civilized hour of 9:30. We usually have crack of dawn flights which require us to get up at 4 a.m. – instead we got up at our usual … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’ – Day 1 and 2"

Disney Cruisin’

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Last July Lee and I were invited on a media tour of the Disney Magic cruise ship during the time it was out here doing west coast cruises. (My blog entry about that is HERE.) And of course that made us want to do a Disney cruise. 🙂 We talked about it, and several of … Continue reading "Disney Cruisin’"

Holidaze at WDW – Day 6

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Tuesday – departure day for me. No Mousefest or RADP events on the schedule, either. I packed and did a little email and got my boarding passes at Lobby Concierge on my way out to the car. I left for Animal Kingdom around 10:00. I was still able to park in the last row of … Continue reading "Holidaze at WDW – Day 6"

Holidaze at WDW – Day 5

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Monday – Studios Day for the RADP group – most of my AllEars team mates have left or are going home today. Jack’s still around though, since he’s very involved in the RADP community, too. I actually got a full night’s sleep (which I really needed!) last night and got up around 8:00. Had a … Continue reading "Holidaze at WDW – Day 5"

Holidaze at WDW – Day 4

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Sunday – Magic Kingdom Day for RADP/Mousefest. It was a very late night for me, so I wasn’t up very early – 8:30. Left the room about 9:30 and waited less than 5 minutes for the bus to the Magic Kingdom. It went straight to the MK without stopping at the Swan and Dolphin, which … Continue reading "Holidaze at WDW – Day 4"

Holidaze at WDW – Day 3

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Saturday – the day of the Mega Mouse Meet, and lots of other meets too. It was a long and very busy day, but fun, too! The Mousefest Mega Mouse Meet (MMM) was held in the Yacht and Beach Convention Center this year. This is the first time I’ve been to Mousefest, so it was … Continue reading "Holidaze at WDW – Day 3"

Holidaze at WDW – Day 2

Posted on by Laura Gilbreath
Today was Animal Kingdom day. And it was pretty chilly – only in the 50s at 9:00 in the morning – brrr!!! It was a brisk walk in from the parking lot. 🙂 It never did warm up very much (only about 63, and that’s cold by California standards!), but at least the sun came … Continue reading "Holidaze at WDW – Day 2"
