I agree wholeheartedly on both points! I don't know if this happens to anyone else when they use their iPads to read on here but sometimes the pictures get mixed up. So I am reading your captions and they are not lining up with the pictures at all. It's actually kind of funny but once I read through the post I am able to figure what pictures went where. For example, you wrote something about watering the bushes and I am looking at a picture of an empty plate...I'm like what???

Thanks for the pictures, everything looks delicious even if some things were only 'so-so'. No trip planned, but maybe I'll finally make it back to F & W next year.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful vacation with us. It was truly a pleasure to follow along with you. And it just makes me want to book a Disney cruise that much more!

What a great trip report! I knew there were DCL cruises leaving from NYC this summer but I didn't really take note of them. Now we have had all these great cruise reports...I want to go!! I wonder if they are planning any NYC cruises next year? It would make it so much more affordable if we didn't have to buy five plane tickets. Oh, and I like the Patriots shirts :)

This picture reminds me of The Little Mermaid! And I have to say the girls were rockin' it with the underwater camera, you guys not so much....sorry!

Very nice trip report. I enjoyed the pictures of Roger Williams Park, we used to bring the kids there when they were little to visit the zoo. We should really go again, it's such a nice park. And I just recently went to Waterfire, very cool. Your cabin looked fun, very rustic! Thanks again for sharing.

I'm going out on a limb and saying your favorite is the Hall of Presidents.

I too hate the duck face! Fortunately my girls hate it too and make fun of their friends when they post pictures of their stupid duck faces. I like your POV pictures, I almost feel like I am there .

Okay, it has taken me an hour but I am finally caught up...I will tell my family you are the reason dinner is not even started yet! I love all the food pics, excellent job with those. I also like that DCL let's you bring your own wine to dinner. Your pictures after the wine were too funny. And thank you, thank you, thank you for explaining the Snow White animosity. I would come across references to your issues with her, even in other TRs andi didn't get it. Glad to see you settled your differences . In reference to the crew members work schedules, they do work super hard. But if you ever read

We really liked the Keys to the Kingdom tour and even though we went backstage it didn't ruin the magic. I thought it was cool, especially being underneath Main Street and hearing the horse drawn carriage go by above our heads! It had a lot of cool trivia and stories about Walt and the construction of WDW.

What was the name of the YES class your daughter did? We have done Ocean Discoveries with our younger daughter while our older two did Marine Careers, both at the Living Seas. They would like the one on animation but I am interested in any at the Magic Kingdom as well. The YES program is great though. We saved literally hundreds on our park tickets and it gave the kids some cool behind the scenes perspectives. It also eases the conscience a bit because we usually pull them out of school for a few days on our trips...at least I feel they are getting something educational (not that Epcot isn'

You can use points for the cruise but from my understanding it's not the best use of points. But I think if we ever were to go we would have do part cash, part points, because we don't have enough cash or enough points, but maybe put together we can do something! Can't wait to hear how your girls enjoyed the trip. We took our girls on Royal Caribbean last year and they loved it. But of course, they long for a Disney cruise, like their mother

Looking forward to reading more!

I am enjoying your TR, you are off to a great start. And awesome job on capturing so many oddities in the backgrounds of your pictures!

How exciting! I love hearing about surprise trips, we have only been able to pull off one, I either crack and tell them or they figure it out. Cannot wait to hear about your cruise, I really want to try DCL someday.

It is a quote from Dr. Seuss. I say it to my kids and yes, they too get annoyed. Thank you for the time you took on this report, enjoyed it as usual. Where else can you get a photo tour of the bus stops? How about a tour of the comfort stations next time (and please, don't include any astronomy pictures i.e. Uranus).

I loved your report! We tent camp on occasion and I could relate to your experience...I have learned a lot on how to be successful at it. Sorry the experience with your vegetarian friends didn't go quite as planned but I could relate to that too!

This is why I love your trip reports. You observe the most minute details that I would never ever notice.

I am arriving late to this party as we were on vacation...glad to see I didn't miss the whole thing! I believe the picture above is the moon and Uranus. (I'm sorry for that, in our house one cannot pass up the opportunity for a Uranus joke). I agree on everything that has been said about the Four Seasons going up. What a shame. But I have to ask, do you think they will have a lazy river? Oh and I vote for BM (see Uranus reference above).

Thanks Stefa70 and TCD. My oldest and I are the early risers in our family and we love sneaking out before anyone else is up and wandering whatever resort we are staying at. I particularly loved that morning, it was so deserted and quiet.

Wow, thank you for such a great report. I always feel like I've finished a good book when I finish one of your TRs. Now I just need to go figure out a way to budget a DCL cruise...

I am disappointed you won your medal for drinking a mojito. You should have gotten it for drinking your pink drink. But it appears you were wearing a pink shirt, so close enough.

Just catching up. Very, very cool visit to the Christmas Story museum.

Wow, beautiful pictures. It's great you could enjoy one morning with the ship to yourself. I wanted to ask, do the Disney ships have the cabins for families of five? It sounds like you had separate cabins. We had to get connecting rooms on Royal Caribbean which actually worked out pretty well because then we had two bathrooms. But I seem to recall reading that Disney has bigger cabins and am wondering how good the deals are on them as opposed to getting the two cabins.

I vote tighty. Someone mentioned that they are not really tight but in comparison to boxers, they are. I love that you are posting the menus from each night. It inspires me to make some exotic dinner for my family. On the other hand I'll probably just go with mac and cheese.
