Welcome home! (Although I think you'd rather still be there!)
That is an accurate assessment of our state of mind. Leaving the ship was hardest thing we did. Not only did we meet great people and had fun, but it is such a amazing ship, the amenities, the dining rooms and bar areas, everything was just amazing and difficult to walk away from. If anyone is thinking of a Disney Cruise and tossing up between that or a park visit, forego the parks, at least once. Try the Fantasy or Dream if you can, but the other 2 are also wonderful. I know Beth, Sandie and Barry & Narelle will agree and anyone else who have done one. My father told me I need to try another cruise line at least once, but I don't want to, because I know I will be disappointed after being on DCL.

Spring in Orlando is a great time of year. I think March would be slightly better, as they wouldn't get the odd oppressive day of heat which we got, but it wasn't humid which helped coping. The gardens though in all the resorts and parks were beautiful. The gardens in Disneyland were in full bloom too, but were still affected a little by the cool weather, but WDW gardens were something else. Last time we were glad to be home, this time, not so much.

We managed to get some views over the fence of Carsland and that is going to be a very special place. It will be exactly like stepping into the movie, the main street is a replica of Radiator Springs, the rock work in the mountains are stunning and the rides look cool as well. I wish we could have seen it, so Keith, we will need lots of detail, photos and maybe video. I'll try and post some of the shots I took later, and I took a photo of everything in the Blue Sky room, but it will be amazing.

Thanks everyone for the welcome home and following us on the trip. I love writing about things as we do them, as most of you do, and its better when people who understand read them. Now to start planning .....

Exactly! I'm actually feeling this for you at the moment Anthony - I know what you guys are going through.

But as always, I find the best remedy is to begin planning the next trip right away!

You're right with the Disney depression. We all go through it and we're no exception either. Making the meeting is difficult, we don't get home from netball till after 5 and are spent, plus tomorrow I have to leave home at 6 for more netball, so sorry for not coming.

We heard tonight how the girls received fastpasses from some strange man who turned out to be Barry - what are the chances?
