Hey everyone we are back!!!
Here's some highlights for Day 1 and 2.
April 17, 2009 The limo arrived at 4am to take us over to the airport.
We arrived at MCO by 10am and off to Cocoa Beach for the night!
A few pics of the family at the hotel and around town...
Here us waiting to check out luggage with the porter...
At about 9:45am the girls, my aunt and I were the first ones through to the terminal While Tim, his dad and my dad waited with the luggage...I wanted an upgrade really bad!!!
Around 10:15 we checked in and asked about upgrades, we were told that they had quite a few We recieved a boarding card #2...Tim went over to the upgrade line to wait while I finished checking in. We found out a cat 9 was about $400 more and a balcony was $861 more...I said lets go for the balcony...The women told us to hold on and spoke with her supervisor and upgraded us to a cat 4 family suite for the price of a balcony room....We were so thankful to her!!! We now had a room on deck 8 with a balcony....Considering we booked a cat 12 gty, I think we were doing great!
After finishing up with the upgrade we went over to take our pictures for homeland security...It's something new to us, but it was fast and simple. We then went over to the couches and waited for the characters for pics!
Back of our shirts
After the pics we had met a few people that we were talking to and next thing we know its boarding time!!!
After boarding Tim and I headed to deck 3 to add my aunt to our Palo brunch ressie while the kids, my aunt and the grandpas went to deck 9 for food and swimming!
My father being a goof brought his squirrel ornaments with..
At 1:30 we went to check out our rooms!
We walked in to a nice fruit basket and a note from
Disney Cruise Line....
That night the ship was rocking really bad, and I wasnt feeling well, so I skipped dinner, but then went down about halfway through to see how everyone else was doing...We had 10 at our table, Tim, myself, the 3 girls, my aunt, my dad, Tim's dad, and our friends the newlyweds from England Jonathan and Kirsty.
I have some pictures from Disney that we purchased that I have to scan in...They will be here soon!
They had a deal on board for the Premear of Earth all your pre-printed pics from the cruise for $229...of course this didnt include wedding pics from the ceremony, but thats ok...We took over 200 pics...It was a great deal for us!
