PLAY-DOUGH: The "Dream" was just a dream and then the dream came true!!

     Our original cruise scheduled for May 27th had been booked and anticipated for over a year. It was canceled due to the illness and death of our father, father-in-law, grandfather, and great grandfather. With much maneuvering, rescheduling, rebooking and a little luck, we were able to set sail on July 22nd.
     All ten of us drove down as far as St. Augustine on the day before. After some swimming, go-carts and relaxing we were ready for the 2 hr. drive to Port Canaveral for boarding.
     The children were immediately overwhelmed with soooo much "Disney" to see and do. Disney characters were around every corner. We all ate dinner and attended the live shows together nitely. The rest of our days were spent sunning, swimming, tubing, dancing, partying, meeting characters, watching movies, and even having milk and cookies from room service. A beach day was enjoyed while docked at beautiful "Castaway Cay".
     After disembarkation, we all headed home.   As we were driving north, we were still sort of in the "Dream" dream when we received a call that our beach condo had been flooded due to a broken overhead water pipe. So the dream suddenly changed to reality and we were back in the real world!!
