Day One

We arrive at Port Canaveral to the wonderful site of the Disney Wonder.
We park and check in and are on board by 12:30. We head to lunch at Parrot Cay and have the buffet. We then head out to look around and then it is time to get to our room. We have an upgrade to a Navigator’s Veranda. The room is very nice and we enjoy it for a little while. We then head up on deck for the sail away party. We go on deck 10 and count down 3, 2, 1 then that wonderful horn…….
We dance for a while then head back to the room to get ready for dinner.
Dinner is at Parrot Cay and as we sit down I take out the video camera and ask Sherrie to get a battery out of the case. She knows I don’t need a battery and opens it up and I have a box inside. She says it is a treasure chest. Inside it is a diamond ring for our anniversary- a little early but do you know how hard it is to hide a ring? After that we had the lump crab meat in cheese sauce for appetizer. We then had the mixed grill, Lamb, Steak, shrimp, sausage and potatoes…. Very good. For desert I had lemon meringue pie and Sherrie had cream brulee cheesecake.
We now head back to the room and find a towel dog on the bed with my sunglasses on it. He also had some chocolates. I typed this and could really feel the ship moving…. I don’t know about others but I felt it. I should also say that we are really moving…. We passed the Carnival ship while we were eating…. We could see it in the windows and they left at 4:00. We also passed the Norwegian ship as we were finishing eating so we are really moving….. A quick check of the ship TV channel says we are moving at 18 knots.
We head down to watch the show which is The Golden Mickey’s. Very nice show lots of things going on. Afterwards we bring our matting down to guest services so the characters can sign it. The CM says WOW this is a big one. OK we did fit it in our suit case………
We then stop by Diversions and have a drink and catch part of the baseball game. I have some wings and chips.
Back to the room for the night as we have a big day tomorrow at Castaway Cay……..

You did see me on the beach waving, didn't you? I was to the right when you went thru the channel leaving Port Canaveral :D
It sounds like the trip got off to a great start, that was a wonderful surprise for Sherrie - you do have a soft side, Bret :hug:

Way to go Bret.....thanks for putting pressure on the rest of the guys here on Intercot with the diamond ring for your wife.:D
I guess that I'll have to try and keep my DW away from the Trip Reports!
I don't want her to get any crazy ideas you know!

Hmmm...if I pm you my phone number would you call and tell my dh what you did with the ring? We're going to Disneyworld for our anniverary in November and a ring would be nice!!! :D Sounds like you are off to a wonderful and magical start! But the ship was speeding? Didn't they know that they had Sgt. Tigger on board?

Bret!! I can't believe you got Sherrie a ring and didn't even drop a hint to me or any of us. You must have been bursting inside. Can't wait to see the ring and to read more :minnie:

15 Years.... at 10 years I gave her a necklace the had the past present and future diamonds....
So I got the ring to match.... we have been together for 26 years ever since high school.....

Can you believe she has not killed me yet????:funny:

Congrats to you!!:party: 15 years is a long time! I know...we just celebrated our 15th as well on June 12th. I didn't get diamonds, but that's okay! :mickey: Actually, this year I got a termite free house. We had $2000 worth of termite damage that popped up right before we were making plans to do a Disney Cruise for our 15th. That sort of killed the cruising plans temporarily. So when we were at Disney World just a couple of weeks before our anniversary, we bought the DVC and told each other that was our anniversary present. I'm totally fine with that!!:cloud9: And by the way, glad to know Sherrie hasn't killed you yet. Maybe she's keeping you around for the diamonds.;) Just kidding!:D

Wow, what a great day! Ok, so I'm always emotional but the ring thing gave me goosebumps. ou're a lot like Bruce ;) My ex had hawked my deceased sisters ring and I went to go get it after we split and it was gone, on our first trip to WDW Bruce gave me a bag of postcards (romantic huh?) but my sisters ring was around the pen in the bag. :cloud9: I know, not the same but it reminded me of it. Off to read more.
