Skip decided to go ride Gemini. Claire and I went to the Camp Snoopy Area. I pointed out all the rides to Claire and she said no to everything…she was still on a game kick…but I told her no. So we kept walking. We made the decision to go on the paddle boat. We licked out and were the last two let on the boat. It has been a VERY long time since I have rode this. It was nice and relaxing, but nothing great. Claire on the other hand LOVED this ride. I think she really thought all the little characters along the way were real and she talked about them a LOT! Claire loved the ride…so much so that we rode it twice in a row. And the 2nd time we again were the last 2 on the boat. It was good fun, with lots of corny jokes along the way. As we were about half way through the 2nd trip, Skip called and asked where we were. I told him and he headed over in that direction and took a seat and waited for us. As soon as we were off Claire wanted to ride AGAIN! So Skip took her this time around and I sat down and waited…and took some pictures as well. Here they come! We decided to work our way back up front. Claire still wanted to play some games, and I think Skip was caving. -
I forgot to mention…while Mom and Claire were getting breakfast, they also stopped at Guest Services to find out if they could get another light up Tink. Mom said they went looking for one and basically found the last one on the ship. LOL! Claire got a new cup along with a replacement Tink. She was very happy! Back to Castaway Cay! Those girls were on a mission to get to the beach. But I strolled leisurely. Then my memory card ran out and I had to change once again. This had me worried. At this point and time I have taken 6G’s of pictures. I only had 2G’s left and 3 ½ full days. I decided I was going have to either buy an new CF card somewhere, or get the pictures I had transferred to CDs. I didn’t worry too much at that point and time though. I knew I could make it till we got off the ship. I was going for artsy here…focusing on the weeds. We spotted an Island Native. We could already tell this was going to be a HOT day. The sun was really shining and we were working up a little sweat with our walk. We came across Minnie and got in line. And the ships photographer. Just down the way we spotted Goofy, so we got in line. And I took a few pictures while waiting. After a few minutes of waiting, Mickey strolled by. Goofy and Mickey were swapping out. We decided to just wait for Mickey then. Mickey and Goofy hugged and played a bit before Mickey got to signing. The line moved fast and soon it was our turn to meet Beach Mickey. The ships photographers. My camera started going a little crazy at this point and time….well not the camera, but the lens. I only brought one lens on the island with me, and it’s one I had had trouble with in the past, but so far the whole cruise it had been working fine. It will do this thing where it can’t find a focus and just goes in and out and makes noises. I took it off and cleaned the contact points, which helps sometimes, but the other cure is rest for it. It would work on and off for me, but it became frustrating. I also had my point and shoot. I can’t remember how many pictures I took with that, as those are on the lost card…but I still got a fair amount with the Big camera, I just had to fight it at times. We then came upon the gift Shop, She Sells Sea Shells. Mom wanted to get a hat because it was so sunny, so we looked around. Mom got a big white sunhat. It was really cute and she got so many comments and compliments on it throughout the rest of the trip. I browsed as well. I debated on a blue Castaway Cay tank top. I really liked it, but in tank top terms it was expensive. I buy mine at Old Navy for not more than $8. But usually look for the $5 sales. I finally just got it. I really liked it and I knew that I couldn’t buy it on the ship. This was exclusive to the island. If I waited, I might forget to come back or they could be sold out of my size and then I might regret it. With our purchases in hand, (And I think we actually escaped without buying Claire something?.....but maybe Mom bought her something small, but I don’t remember what it was if she did) we headed off to the beach. I wanted a picture of Claire in the Hammock. All the hammocks had things on them, but no one around. So I just took some things off for a few minutes, had her hop in, which was funny as she really had a heck of a time, and instead of helping, we laughed, LOL, and she finally got situated as best she could. I tried to get her to pose, but I think she was just to worried she was gonna fall off, so these were the best I could get. After that, I quickly put the other peoples stuff back on and we headed off to find ourselves some chairs. Claire spotted the tubes right away. I told her not right now, but if she still wanted one when we came back after the Aqua Duck she could get one. Claire and I headed off to the water, while Mom sat with our stuff. I also made the switch to waterproof camera. We got in the water and it was cold! I wasn’t going much further than my ankles! It appears I have some sort of water blur on the lens of this camera as most are fuzzy on the one side……oh well, at least it was waterproof! After a bit of playing, Claire and I went back to take some of her new found shells to our chair. Mom went back to the water with Claire for a few more minutes. We had planned to leave soon to get back to the Aqua Duck. The back of my chair. They weren’t in the water long and were back. I took a picture of my sandy feet. Claire was intrigued by this and of course wanted one of hers too. The decision was made to head back to the ship. I got out a paint brush I had brought and we all started brushing the sand off our feet to get clean and comfy for our shoes. Claire loved this. She then proceeded to get sandy again so she could brush off again, and then one more time…but this time she did her whole body. I wasn’t too happy with that, and I think we actually ran back to the water to get most of the sand off and then rebrushed her again. We made our way off the beach. I took a quick shot of this flower. We spotted Goofy, so since it was still just after 11, we decided to get in line for him. He was having a lot of fun. While in line, I took a few random shots. I was playing with different focus points here. We were getting pretty close now. Goofy was playing with this boy’s towel and it was funny. But I only got 1 picture of it. My camera lens started going berserk again. We were next. And my camera was still not cooperating. The only way I got it to work was with the flash…..which made for AWFUL pictures! Claire’s body practically disappeared from most of the pictures. And the ships photographers pictures.

Somewhere along the way we had stopped for the smoke break and continued on through Frontier land. They seemed to be on a mission to get somewhere, but I have no clue where…nor did they I think. LOL! I stopped to take pictures of the Mill. They just looked back at me like I was crazy and kept going. As we walked through, I did ask Claire if she wanted to pet the animals in the farm area and she said no, and then I asked her if she wanted to make a candle, which used to be a favorite of mine, and again she said no. What to do next? We talked about a few options, but Claire didn’t want to do any of them. She was on the games kick again. I told her there was no way we were heading back to the front for games, or that I would be spending money on any, so to get over it. She did some pouting and basically didn’t want to ride anything then. -

While Claire and Skip waited in a very slow line for the Wild Cat, I sat on a bench and took a few pictures. I got bored quickly and set off for a walk. One thing that struck me weird …walking through Frontier land and seeing a PF Changs’s? (I think it was one, or some other Chinese food chain) They kind of lost the idea of sticking with the theming back there over the years. I decided it was time for another snack…yes mostly what I did this day was eat! LOL! I walked into the icecream store and the fudge store, but neither was really calling me. I spotted a cart outside selling those glazed roasted almonds and decided on those. They were good, but not great. They were kind of soft, and I like them a bit crunchier. I ate about half, saving the rest for Skip and Claire. I walked back towards the Wild Cat to see if they were done yet. I found them still in line and they still had a ways to go. I handed over the nuts to them and they finished them off. After talking to them a bit, I went back over to a bench and took more pictures while I waited. I kept watching and watching and they never seemed to be on the ride…had I missed them? Then finally I see a familiar face! The exited and Skip was ready for a smoke break so we headed off the nearest spot. I took pictures along the way. Skip was trying to jump in this one. He thinks he is so funny. And we stopped for these…but Claire refused to get one. -
I'm only about half way through! LOL! The ship part is close to over, but we also went to Magic Kingdom, Sea World and Epcot. I will be going to Disney in August for a Travel Agent education Program. This will be me alone. (no family at all) I can't wait. I try to post to facebook when I am down there, but my phone is a bit tricky at time...well for me it is! LOL

When we got into the gift shop, Claire discovered the “fake” characters and wanted a picture with each. They had every character as a plush. They were so cute. There was one I almost bought for myself. He was so cute…he looked like a chubby Snoopy, but I think his name was Olef? I do not remember him from Peanuts at all. I used to be a big Fan of Peanuts too. Snoopy and Winnie the Pooh were always my favorites as a kid. When a “special” would come on…yes I grew up before cable and cartons 24 hours a day, so we got our dose of this through “specials” a few times a year…I would be so excited and watch them. But I don’t remember Olef…..I’m assuming he is a cousin of Snoopy’s. Here’s Peppermint Patty. And I don’t get the pink shirt? I’m pretty sure she always wears green. We walked out the front door to the main thoroughfare and debated on going on the old fashion cars.. I wanted to, but Claire didn’t. I even told her she could drive, but she still said no. We called Skip and he was on his way to meet up with us, so we just waited a few minutes in the area for him. They decided to ride the Matterhorn. The line was very long. I, of course went on to take pictures while I waited. Again, I wasn’t up for spinning in a circle. I decided on a snack while they were in line. I got the Mini Donuts. I can’t remember the price, but it was not cheap and you got very few donuts. I ate half and saved the rest for Claire and Skip. Claire and Skip finally make it on. I try top shoot a few pictures of them…and notice Skips finger. He’s such a FUNNY guy. He was trying to make it look like he was picking his nose. Yes! I married a very classy guy! He was trying to pretend like he didn’t see me too. My choice was next…whether my family wanted to let me or not! LOL! They insisted on Wild Cat, but I insisted on Iron Dragon…I won! Of course I took pictures while waiting in line. I rode by myself and Claire and Skip rode together. Once we got going , I did worry a little. This was a bit faster than I remembered and I hoped that Claire would be OK with it. I think I actually rode one car before them, so I got off and waited outside the area. I saw this guy. I have never seen him here before. I’m not sure if he is new…or if I am just not observant. They met up with me, and Claire did mention that is was too fast, but she did OK. They headed off to Wild Cat…I don’t mind this ride, but my neck and back had been really bothering me lately, and that ride does a LOT of jerking, so I pass on it and went to the bathrooms. Let’s just say, they are not very “magical”. I think Cedar Point forgot to clean all the bathrooms before they opened this year. I never found a single “clean” one. For that matter, it looks like much of the park was in need of paint or small repairs, and were not done either. -

Thanks. I was trying to pan along with the ride to get the ride, but blur in the background. I thought I did a pretty decent try at it. Great TR - as always! The purpose of panning is to make the background blurry and the moving subject not blurry - and you have an excellent, excellent - EXCELLENT I TELL YA - example of it! I have tried with my 7D, (not too hard) and just have not accomplished it like that! >:O I am starting to miss my D90. I feel like I suck with it. I know I shouldn't say that... so hopefully time will fix this. Now that I finally got to the end of what you have posted here, I am back off to try and finish the Dream thread. I got so busy, I couldn't keep up! I didn't see the next post email either. I must have deleted it somewhere along the line. I am so far behind! LOL. It is a continuous reminder that I need to get back to my trip reports too... I still haven't caught up! I now go to Florida in three weeks. Ut ohs! lol Thanks. I like that shot too. I went from a Canon Rebel to a 50D and when I first got the 50d, I wasn't impressed. It took some time to get used to it. So keep at it and you will master yours! -
While several of us were up on the forward deck, chanting, one guy saw a bird on the other side of the clear divider. We had no clue how he got there. Was he taking a break from flying and catching a free ride to his next destination? Or was he injured? After a little while a CM walked near him on the other side of the plexiglass and he took off flying, so I guess if he was injured, it didn’t affect his flying ability. I chatted some more with the other guests and took more random pictures as we talked. I got to talking to one gal particularly. After a few minutes of chatting she asked me if I am on Passporters…..I think I gave her the deer in the headlights look! LOL!!! It took a minute to click.. “Oh, yes, I do post there.” And she asked if I was from Ohio…again, I said yes…. And then she asked… Your husband couldn’t make it right? So your Mom came?....ah yes… And you are Jen, right?...yes. She introduced herself as Wendy. She told me she had read my PTR and that we had a lot in common and posted back and forth…..OK, I must’ve not had my brain working very well at that time, because I only vaguely remembered her…… But after about 5 more minutes of talking,…it totally clicked. I guess when I wake up at 5:30 AM, my brain is still sleep for a few more hours. LOL! She has like 12 kids….LOL! Just kidding, she has 4, if I remember right. And her youngest is close to Claires age and we were on the same deck…not to far from each other. I must say Wendy and her DH were VERY nice and friendly and we talked for a bit more. Another girl had joined in the conversation as well, but I never got her name, or saw her again the rest of the trip, but she too was very nice. I stupidly never thought about asking someone to get a picture of us together. I need to get that thought in my brain. I met a few people this trip and not a single picture with any of them! I am still amazed that she figured out who I was in just the little bit of conversation we had had. As Wendy and I talked, we both still would take pictures here and there. See that very large Palm tree sticking out. I believe that is a cell phone tower. How pretty it is to see the sun rise over Castaway Cay. The ship started to turn around now, so it could back into Castaway Cay. Wendy and I said our goodbyes. I thought I would head down to see if the family was awake yet….Then I thought better of it. It was only around 7:15, so I’m sure they were still sleeping. I decided to head to the back of the boat and watch us back in. I was standing by the miniature golf area, so I took a few shots of that too. Back to pictures of CC! The closer we got to the dock, the more birds we saw…mainly the “mine mines”…seagulls as the common folks call them. I decided it was my mission to capture one in flight. Let me tell you that this was really hard. I had a hard time actually getting my camera to focus on one, and then to capture the shot without a blur…or even to get the bird in the picture. Most of my pictures turned out to be just blank…with water or island in the background! LOL! They didn’t seem to understand that they were supposed to stop and pose for me. Here is a shot I tried….but I kept at it. And Skip would not feel homesick at all on CC. They have tractors and gators! And here she is in all her glory! Such a beautiful island! And another attempt at the Mine mine! This was an awful shot, but I thought it almost looked angelic. And then I got it!!! The perfect shot…well as close to perfect as I was going to get! I thought these rocks were so pretty. At some point and time the ship sounded her horn too. I just LOVE hearing it. It makes me feel so special! I was starting to get hungry, so I headed off to Cabanas to get something to eat. I was going to take it to the room, but then after I got it, I decided just to stay there and eat. I asked where to sit, and told me to just get any empty table. I then went back down to the room and Mom was up, looking at the beautiful view from our balcony. Our room was facing the island side. We got Claire up and dressed and she and Mom went up for a quick breakfast, while I got freshened up and ready for the day. The original plan was that I would go onshore for a bit and come back and get them after I took some pictures. But since Mom was up and Claire got right up, we decided to all go onshore together and then return around 11 so we could ride the Aquaduck. I took my SLR for this part of the day, since it was going to be more of a picture taking trip for me. I also told Mom that I would be walking to the beach, rather than taking the tram, so I didn’t miss anything, but she decided to walk as well. We stopped for a few in front of the ship too. As we made our way to the Post office, we found our first character on the Island. Daisy was standing by the Post Office. And this is what the ships photographer took. We then made our way towards the beach and I snapped pictures again along the way. We got to this guy and then had some taken by a ship photographer
-
I continued taking pictures and just touring the ship. A peek through a window into Royal Palace. A sneak peak into Animators Palete. I then hopped in an elevator and went up to Deck 11 to see the daylight and also to see if I could see land yet. A walk through Cabanas Drink station near the pools. And what is that in the distance…Could it be? I decided to make my way towards the front of the ship to see us approach Castaway Cay. I took a few shots of the adult area on the way. And then I tried to shoot the sunrise. While shooting, I started to talk to other guests in the area. Lots of us were excited to see Castaway Cay. I was also amazed at how much nicer it was at the front of the ship today. The day before I was practically blown away, but today you could actually stand there comfortably.

I took a few pictures of the area while Claire tried to figure out what to ride next. We rode the jeeps next. I had to sit in the backseat…..and of course no picture taking. Claire decided to do some space shooting. While Claire was ridding the galaxy of Aliens, which by the way are Peanuts Character Aliens, so probably talk like this…...mwah mwah, mwah mwah mwah, mwah mwah ,mwah waaaaah! I took a few other shots. Claires next choice was the Balloons. The guy in the background looks like he is doing some kind of Praying Mantis move….LOL! I know he’s just putting his backpack on, but it looks kind of funny. And while I waited, another angle of the Ferris Wheel and a few other random shots. Claires ride was finishing up then. We decided to head out of that area and take a look in the Snoopy Gift shop near by. -

Yes, I have always liked Disney, but over the years I am just loving it more and more. Especially now that my youngest loves it so much too. Yes the carousel was a bit overkill. But oh well. -
Day 4 ~ April 2nd, Saturday I slept GREAT that night again. The bed was so Comfy!!! I awoke on Sat. around 5:30 AM…yes…I said it…5:30! But I did lay in bed till 6..trying to force myself back to sleep. It didn’t work. I got dressed and decided to make the morning rounds. Let’s see what my buddies up on deck were cleaning this morning! Before I go on, I’ll post the Navigators of the day so I don’t forget to later. I started my morning journey by looking for the laundry room. Mom and I had talked of doing a load at some point, so I went to check it out. I wandered a little bit indoors then. This is one of the pictures that would just randomly start doing something. I think Alice falls down a rabbit hole in this one. Cabanas is very empty this early in the morning. It was still pretty dark, but very peaceful. And busy. It’s amazing how many guys are out cleaning. Nemo’s Reef. The CM’s were all so nice and friendly and would say hi as I passed by.

They boarded and then I had to wait again for a really long time. This is the slowest ride ever! Up they went…well just far enough to let the next group on. Finally they got to spin around one full turn! LOL! And then stopped for more loading and unloading. I kept waving and trying to get Claire to wave back. I don’t know if she couldn’t hear me, or if she was ignoring the crazy lady with a camera! I’m sure Skip heard me though, with that smirk on his face. I gave up on them and saw these guys climbing. That looked scary to me. Finally Skip and Claire were done. Claire was hungry, so we went and got her a corndog (which can be hard to eat when you are missing your 2 front teeth) . Skip went and got a burger. Skip decided he was going to go and ride the blue streak. Claire wanted to play games. We played one, the kind where you shoot the water in a hole and race…we played against each other and she won…a nice fluffy pink snake. Of course she wanted to do more, but we headed over to the kiddie rides…most of which she had no desire to ride on. We got in like for the carrousel. While in line I took a shot of the needle/pencil…what ever you call it. I know there is a real name but we have always called it pencil or needle. LOL Our turn…Claire chose a rabbit to ride. And then I had to put the camera away. I guess Cedar Point does not allow cameras out on rides. I know in years past I have taken pictures while riding, but I guess the new…or newer rule is no picture taking and no cell phones. Not very Disney like….Wait! This isn’t Disney! LOL Claire looked at the rides in the area, and didn’t care to ride anymore of them. We headed off to the Snoopy area then. Again, she seemed less than thrilled with the rides there as well. Her mind was on games though, and I told her I refused to play any. We decided to get on one…of course it’s a spinner…kind of like a mini tea cup. I hate to spin, but I said I would ride if we didn’t spin too much. Claire had the DEVIL possess her on the ride though and tried to spin it as much as she could. I was trying to hold it still. She would laugh and keep going. I was not feeling the best after that ride! -

Thanks so much. It is nice to hear it. It is a fun place, I am just not so much a fun trhill ride person anymore, but I did have a good time. -
During dinner, I had secured the Light up Tink onto my camera bag so we wouldn’t lose her. I leave you with that to ponder on….. LOL! When we left Royal Palace, Claire and I jumped in another line for more Pirate pictures. This time the girl we liked was taking them. I asked if she could do the Captain Hook one that I had seen on the boards, but she gave her Tink instead. And then I got in for a few After we were done we noticed Pirate Minnie was still out for Pictures, so we jumped in a short line. It was cut off shortly after that, so we had just made it! Minnie seemed a little puzzled She called the CM over. The CM said that our last signature was from Minnie. I said, Yes we saw her earlier that day in her Princess outfit. So the CM wanted to know if we still wanted her signature. Now I thought this was a dumb question. Why would we have brought our book up there if we didn’t? I told her yes, so they flipped the book back a few pages so the signatures wouldn’t be back to back. We met back up with Mom, actually I think she came back out to check on us, and we headed over to the shops. Claire went off with Mom. I think she thought she had a better chance of mom buying her something than me! LOL! I looked around and picked several things up, but in the end put it all back. I was debating on another sweatshirt, but none of them just appealed to me the same way. I needed it to say Dream, or DCL cruise line and they were too generic. Mom picked out a Dooney wristlet for her friend and then she said I could pick one too. YIPPEE! My FIRST Disney Dooney and Bourke! Mom ended up getting Claire a hat. It was cute, basic white. What was weird was the logo said WDW. You would think it would’ve said DCL. After our purchase we headed up for the Buccaneer Blast, which is the fireworks show. I mistakenly kept calling the earlier show that when in REALITY that was the “Pirates IN the Caribbean” party. We went up to deck 12 on the starboard side. We went up in FRONT of the funnel that has the big screen on it. I don’t recommend doing this. They had the deck blocked off at one part, so we couldn’t work our way over to see the screen or stage. We knew we could see the fireworks there though, and many other were also standing in that area. BUT we could not see the little show that went with the fireworks, nor could hear it very well. I have heard Captain Jack Sparrow ziplines down, but I never saw it….and at that point I had yet to find the dear Captain. I had even asked earlier in the day where he would be…after all it was pirate night, but we found he wasn’t listed for an appearance that night for pictures, but he would be at Castaway Cay the next day. Anyways…. We stood and waited for the fireworks. We could hear the show going on, but again, hard to make heads or tales of it really without watching it. Then the fireworks started. I had mixed feelings. They were wonderful and very exciting. Who would think you would see fireworks while on a cruise ship in the ocean…but they were smaller than I thought they would be. As they went on, they did get bigger and better. It kind of started small and slow. By the end I was loving it. I have not mastered the fireworks shots yet…basically haven’t even tried to…..plus I don’t bring along my tripod on trips, so that makes it next to impossible to get a good shot. I should practice this summer with 4th of July shots and see if I can get it down. After the fireworks ended, we exited the area with about 5 million others. There was a dance party going on after, but I don’t think many people stayed. We took the stairs down because it was next to impossible to even get close to the elevators. We headed back to the room. I had asked earlier that evening what time the Aqua Duck was closing and they told me 11:45. We got back to the room about 10:45ish. We found this guy on our bed. We made a stop at Shutters and checked out all the new pictures taken that evening. When we got back to the room I realized that glowing Tink was no longer on my bag! UGH! Claire wasn’t too happy with me, but I told her that I would ask about it tomorrow and see if we could get another one. I was hoping they would give us one, but even if I had to pay I would. I’m not sure exactly what else we did, but I know we (Claire and I) changed into our suits and headed to the Aqua Duck, but it was 11:30 by the time we got there. So we must’ve just done it slowly. We went to get in line and the CM informed us that it was no longer open! WHAT?????? I had asked earlier and they said 11:45! I guess they close the line off early though so they can get the riders through by closing time….Would’ve been nice to know that ahead of time. We walked away with my little girl in tears. I told her that when we got back to the room we would see what time it opened tomorrow and we would go on it as soon as it did. The Pirate dance Party was wrapping up too. I’m sure we walked through Cabanas, but I don’t remember seeing the buffet, so it must’ve closed up too. I have read that it is NOT open very long on pirate night. I think a lot of people are not even aware it is, and are to full to even go anyways. If it was right on deck there I think some people would make an effort to get a bit of this or that, but when you have to walk a little ways they just forget about it. We headed back to the room and changed in to our PJ’s. Claire did some more crying and I found out the Aqua Duck was to open at 11 AM the next day. We told her we would probably go on the island for a bit and then come back for the opening of it. But NOT to worry, we would ride it! I did make one last walk down to the Atrium and prepurchased the CD of pictures. I went and put some more money on my ship account at Guest services. I also asked about getting a replacement Tink and they said they would leave a note for the Royal Palace and they would get back to me in the morning after it opened. I think Claire fell asleep with in 2 seconds of lying down. It had been a VERY busy and long day. We still had one more to go! I started to write down some of the days activities, but I think I gave it up after 2 minutes myself. The lack of sleep was catching up to me….It was after midnight and I was beat and my body was sore. The stairs and the all day walking were starting to take a toll on my out of shape body!

Thanks. I was trying to pan along with the ride to get the ride, but blur in the background. I thought I did a pretty decent try at it. -

It was fun taking shots, but I sure didn’t get the same warm fuzzy feeling I get when I do it at Disney. I believe that worker in the window is posing for me! LOL! Finally it was their turn to ride! When Skip got off he told me he could tell he hadn’t been “thrilled” in awhile. LOL! I replied….thanks….. We saw that Disaster Transport was now open, so we headed in that direction. The line was actually kind of long. It seemed everyone in the area had headed there as well. A few shots while in line. How she got him to carry her, I do not know…or why he did it. She is NOT light anymore. The ride was fun! I also could tell I hadn’t been “thrilled” in awhile. Claire and Skip decided on the Ferris Wheel next. Nope, not me. Toooooo high! I stopped and got a cheese on a stick to snack on. MMMM! Nothing like junky crappy amusement park food! So while they waited in line I took a zillion pictures of the same area again! LOOK! They are next in line.
