not on your cruise.. but we are on the double dip right after... so we will be watching your thread. SInce you all will be on after the dry dock.. you will have to spill the dirt.. maybe a couple LIVE trip reports since we get on when you all get off :)

Enjoy!

[Sabor]

We are .

We are doing Back 2 Backs - originally on the Special Western Double dip and decide this was a great opportunity for 10 nights on the Magic.

[ashleylovesthebeach]

Wow! I wish we were doing the 10 nights on the Magic!
Last year I did my first "Disney" cruise on the Wonder and I am excited to see the Magic!


anewmac-- We will have to see about getting the info for you! Can't wait to see for myself how nice and spiffy the ship should be after dry dock! :rotfl:

[KristineN]

My hubby & I will be on this cruise!

[KristineN]

anyone else?

[ashleylovesthebeach]

I keep checking online and things are starting to book up so there has to be others right?! LOL
I am very excited as this will be my second "Disney" cruise and my first on the Magic!

:banana:

[KristineN]

same here....2nd Disney Cruise...1st time on Magic. Although this time it will be just the two of us :banana:

That will be neat. My friend and I are doing a "Girls Only" cruise and leaving everyone else at home! No husbands, children or pets to pick up after! Just ourselves! :rotfl: We are very excited and although she has been on the Magic I am very looking forward to see the ship!

[KristineN]

Working on some door magnets for this cruise...

what do yo think?

[KristineN]

If anyone would like me to make them a magnet for this cruise...let me know

[robind]

I will be there - this is my 10 cruise but first on DCL so I'm really looking forward to it.

I haven't decided if I'm going down early and hitting the parks before the cruise or staying after. Guess I better hurry up and decide so I can book room and some flights.

[robind]

Just booked my Palo, spa and shore excursions this morning. :cool1:

[ashleylovesthebeach]

Ohhh! You will love Palo!
I do! :lovestruc

[mickeymom923]

We might be joining you. I started a thread on this and had no replies so I'm glad I saw this one. My DD 21st bday is on the 26th and 3 years ago we said we were going on DCL every year for our bdays. Mine is the 23rd. Checking the prices of other cruise lines :confused3 that are less $$$$ but I feel like I'd be throwing out the money on the other cruise because "it isn't Disney". :banana: Just trying to get all the little things planned :surfweb: like the airfare and doing MNSSH Happening on the 23rd. If it works out, we'll be joining you.

Bev

[ashleylovesthebeach]

We will also being going to MNSSH on the 23rd! :rotfl:
My friend and her husband have gone before but I have never been.
I have heard it should be neat!
Which shore exursions are you guys doing?

[mickeymom923]

:dance3: :dance3: We are officially doing this cruise. I booked it earlier today. No excursions for us. This will be our 8th Disney Cruise. My daughter will be 21 on the 26th; her boyfriend's bday is on the 11th; my boyfriend's bday is the 19th and mine is the 23rd. I'll be 21 again along with my daughter. :lmao: Lots of celebrating :drinking1 :rainbow: party: :bday: :bday: :bday: I figured we'd go to The Atlantic for a little while to see the aquarium and gamble. We'll enjoy Serenity Bay. We want to celebrate her 21st birthday with the mouse. As of now, there's 6 of us going.

We did MNSSH 2 years ago. It was awesome. We're flying into Orlando on the 23rd to do it before the cruise and on the 27th , after the cruise, we'll probably do Universal's Halloween :scared1: Horror Nights.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Bev,
We are also from the Phila area. We live about 5 minutes from DE. We will be flying down on the 23rd also, but late in the day. We are doing a B2B on the Magic so we will be doing MNSSH on Oct 5th.

We are also thinking about doing Atlantis.

Maureen

[ashleylovesthebeach]

Atlantis is one of the things I have not yet done. We are going to go that morning and take a look around!
Can't wait! :upsidedow

[mickeymom923]

The Atlantis is a beautiful resort. They have the aquarium that is interesting and I know my son enjoyed playing poker when we were there 4 years ago - when he was 18. The 4 of us have been there but the other 2 haven't so I figured we'd check it out. I purchased our MNSSH tickets today. Booked accommodations for the 23rd but not the 27th yet. Booked the airfare so slowly it's coming together.

Bev

[kugalbelle]

Hi everyone,
Was going to start a thread - but glad I found this one!!!!!
We'll be sailing with you too. DH, DD21 and I had already been booked on the first Magic cruise out of dry-dock, the 7-night Cruise to Costa Maya with two stops at Castaway Cay which was then changed from Costa Maya to Grand Cayman. When the new 3-night special cruise was announced, we booked immediately, but since DD has recently started her first job and can't get more time off the 3-night cruise will be DH and I on our own - our first cruise as a couple - Yippee!!! Will be strange only the two of us - but we're really looking forward to cruising alone. DD will still be joining us aboard for the 7-night cruise on the 27th.
Did anyone manage to book anything above a Cat 6?
Have flights booked as well as pre-stay in WDW from the 20th. Will also be staying one night after the 7-night too.
Looking forward to sailing with everyone.

Oh Bev how wonderful to be celebrating so much - Congratulations to all. My DD celebrated her 21st last year on the Magic, we celebrated 25 years of marriage 20 days later also aboard the Magic and a month belated graduation for DD snuck in between too. We had a wonderful or should I say "Magical" time aboard. DCL and all the CM were phenomenal and really made our celebrations extra special.

Congrats again,
Charmaine

[kugalbelle]

Can't wait! :upsidedow

Which Atlantis excursion are you thinking of doing? I did the Discover Atlantis in 2006 with my DBF and really enjoyed it. DH hasn't done this yet. We have Scuba Diving booked at the moment but may change to Discover Atlantis since we're diving on 7-night.

We're also thinking of doing the MNSSHP on the 23rd! Need to look at booking that soon.

[mickeymom923]

DVC offers a discounted price on the MNSSH tickets. We're staying at SSR the night before and I guess Pop Century on the 27th. I don't have enough points for 2 studios on the 27th.

We live in Northeast Philly. It's not that far from Delaware. Can't wait.

My DBF that is going is planning it. We aren't actually doing an excursion. She has been many times and loves to plan our trips so I am letting her handle this! I think we are just going to take the water taxi over, have a look around, maybe play a few machines and then head over to senior frogs! :woohoo:

[Mariatia3]

Hey fellow cruisers! I will be joining this cruise with my DBF, some of you may already know her, because she is all over this board! (i am finally able to post Ashley!) Yes, me and Ashleylovesthebeach will be setting sail on the special 3 day Magic cruise!!:goodvibes This is our 2nd annual girls cruise!! Looking forward to getting to know everyone here over the next 68 days until Boarding Day! Good times!!:banana:

[ashleylovesthebeach]

Hey Maria! I am so glad you got your dis fixed! :jumping1: I am so excited and can't wait till we leave and head south! :drive: I think we should leave at 2 am :scared1: so we can hang by the pool before we begin our wonderful Disney things Tuesday! :dance3:

LOL Glad you are here now!

Can't wait for all of us to reach our Magical date and begin our wonderful vacations! :mickeyjum

[robind]

I am actually taking a full two week vacation - my first ever :banana:

I think I am coming down on Monday and staying through the following Friday. Going to do Universal before we sail and WDW after.

Wow! That will be very nice! I am hoping to book a seven day while we are onboard. I have done several 4-5 days but not the 7 day. I just have to talk the husband into it! :thumbsup2

[mickeymom923]

Two months from today, we'll be on this cruise. :dance3: :banana: Can't wait.

I have a 4 night booked in May - the Podcast cruise and I'm hoping I can get a better deal w/ the on board booking. I hear that's the way to get the best discount.

[Bradintx]

Howdy! We'll be on the 3 night on Magic, this is my 7th cruise, first on Disney and am excited! We are going to be at DisneyWorld the four nights prior to the cruise.

[ashleylovesthebeach]

Are you guys going to MNSSHP at Epcot?
We are going the night before our cruise. I have never gone but my friend and her husband have gone and she says it is a lot of fun! :yay:

[robind]

I have been to MNSSHP and it is great fun. I am going to go - but I haven't decided if I am going to do it the Tuesday before the cruise or the Sunday after the cruise. I'm arriving in Orlando on Monday and I may be renting a car and doing Universal for a few days prior to the cruise and WDW after.

[Bradintx]

So this it the Halloween party, right, sorry newbie here. So it is fun and worth the extra money? We are going to arrive on Saturday before the cruise.

[ashleylovesthebeach]

We are going to do the Halloween party the Tuesday before the cruise and do the food and wine festival the Saturday after the cruise! :dance3:
I am very excited as both of these will be new for me. I am also excited to have something to look forward to after the cruise. Hopefully this means I won't get the bad awful "back to the real world" feeling Saturday morning when I wake up! :rotfl:

[robind]

So this it the Halloween party, right, sorry newbie here. So it is fun and worth the extra money? We are going to arrive on Saturday before the cruise.

IMHO - yes it is definately worth the money. The parade w/ the headless horseman is awesome, the fireworks were really good. And I got a ton of candy - which I so did not need.

[Bradintx]

That is what i am scared of...getting too much candy!!

[Bradintx]

Is there anyway to know ahead of time which restaurant you will be eating at on which night of the cruise? We want to go to Palo but don't want to miss Animators Palate.

[robind]

I had the same fear, and I have not found any way to know ahead of time. I went ahead and booked my palo dinner early, so I could enjoy the view. Then if that happens to be my Animators Palate night, my first choice will be to try to change it and if I can't change it, since I have the late dinner seating, I'll just go to the dinning room after Palo's and have a drink and watch the show.

Good idea I think we will do the same thing, we will book Palo and then if it is the night we are supposed to b ein Animators Palate, we will try and change it. We also have the late seating.

[mickeymom923]

The MNSSH is awesome. It's at the Magic Kingdom. It's a separate admission and I think definitely worth it. DD and I went last year and had a blast. :banana: They empty out the park by 7 but we were allowed in at 5. They give you a wristband and we were able to go on all the attractions without any waiting lines. The parade, fireworks etc were fantastic.:yay: Not to mention all the chocolate candies we received. 5 of us are going on the 23rd (my bday) then driving to the ship early on the 24th. If you are a DVC member, you receive a discount on the tickets. Doing either Universal or MGM after the cruise. DD wants to go to Universal's Halloween Horror Night the day we get off the ship. I'm a chicken and don't want to go. :scared1:

I can't wait to do the cruise. Although for us it'll be a tease after doing the Transatlantic one for 14 days last year. My feeling - 3 days on a Disney Cruise is better than no days on a Disney cruise:thumbsup2

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Bev

[robind]

I want to go, but I'm not sure if I want to go alone. I went a long time ago, with my mom and she really did not like all the "scary characters" coming up to you. I don't like that either but I was okay with it with my mother there (and I'm not a kid - at the time I was in my 30's and she was in her 50's :rotfl: )
I don't like the haunted houses - but I do like the shows, I have a feeling I will chicken out.

[DMMarla07860]

so, My Dad and I will be on this cruise. My aunt and uncle wanted to cruise again and want some alone time away from my cousins, so we are going to be watching my cousins when my aunt and uncle do diff stuff. can't wait I'll actually get paid by my aunt and uncle for watching my cousins which means more money to go towards my back to back cruise on the magic feb 21st-march 7th, 2009(back to back will be a early 21st birthday present)

can't wait to get on the magic again was just on the Magic July 13th-July 20th and had the best time ever:cool1:

[EyeDisneyCruise]

We are also on the special 3 day cruise back to back with the 7 day! We can't wait!

Is anybody doing fish extenders for the cruise on the 24th??

[KristineN]

We are...

[mickeymom923]

My DD has no idea that we are all going on this cruise. We were originally booked on 9/1/08 but things came up. In the past, we've started a tradition of doing the Disney Cruise for our birthdays (9/23 and 9/26). She knew the Magic was in dry dock and the Wonder was too much $$. She thinks she's only :rotfl2: going to DisneyWorld with her boyfriend :love2: and doesn't know the Magic is doing this 3 day cruise and so are we. Boy will she be surprised. :banana:

Is there a list for Fish Extenders ?

My family will be there. I booked last night. We're going to surprise the kiddies.

I'd be interested. I'm going solo so it's just me.

I was thinking the same thing. I remember about 3+ years ago my girlfriend went on a cruise that was first offered to Disney employees and families first I wonder if this is the same??:confused3 :confused3

[cathicool]

we have reservations for this cruise too! we HAD reservations for the 9/27 sailing, but my parents bailed on us and so we cancelled....then i saw this and have a tentative ressie! this would be our 4th or 5th cruise.

we are a family of 5....me, DH, DD8, DS6, DD4 (9/16 b-day) from Long Island, NY.
we also have ressies for SSR 9/27-9/30 and AKV 9/30-10/4. We are doing MNSSHP on 9/30 or 10/2 (we are DVC members).

the only "issue" we have is.....I broke my ankle (in 3 places!) on 6/29 and I am still in a boot and can't walk (yet!/still!). so i am very concerned about the WDW part of our trip. sure wish i hadn't cancelled the 9/27 sailing!

anyway, count us in for the fish extenders....it is alot of fun!

We are doing a B2B with the 27th double dip it is a shame you had to cancel. We are going to do the FE on the 27th cruise just couldn't fit all that stuff in our luggage for two FE exchanges.

So sorry:headache: :headache: to hear about you ankle hopefully by mid Sept you will be able to move around alittle. You could always get a wheelchair in the parks to get around

We are also DVC members SSR is our home

Where on LI are you from? I lived in Glen Cove until 1971

So sorry to hear about your ankle. Hope it's better in a few weeks. I am doing the opposite of your trip, I am at AKV 9/27 - 28 and then to SSR through Oct 3. I am also planning on doing MNSSHP on the 30th or 2nd. I'm waiting until it gets closer to decide - want to see how the weather is. Both are DVC discount dates so that's good. I'm heading down on Monday but I haven't booked a room yet, I can't decide if I want to stay on site or stay closer to Universal, I'm planning on doing Universal / Island of Adventures on Mon and Tues before the cruise.

I haven't booked my flight yet either, I guess I need to get on the ball.

[ashleylovesthebeach]

Hey Everyone!
Glad to see so many people on board. Not much longer and we will all be setting sail! I can't wait! :banana:
I may have mentioned this but we are staying at AKL the night before the cruise and doing MNSSHP and then the Saturday after the cruise we are staying at CBR and doing parks and HDR! I am glad to have an extra day at disney and I am hoping to be able to get off the ship with out that sad heavy feeling in my heart! :rotfl:

[mickeymom923]

One month from today, I will be one year older as I celebrate my birthday on the 23rd.

My exciting news is I'm engaged :bride: and we are getting married :lovestruc :love: :cloud9: on the WONDER in May of 09. I can't wait.

Bev

[Bradintx]

Can't wait...less than a month for our Disney Vacation, we arrive at Disney on 9/20 and then we take this cruise. It is going to be a fun trip!

[KristineN]

Would everyone please PM me their first names and stateroom numbers....I'd like to finish setting things up...time is moving quickly now! :)

[jenn&nelsonrego]

I am a lurker ... coming out of hiding.... ;)

DH and I are going on the 10/25 DD and are really interested in the changes after dry dock... Anyone doing a TR??? :confused3

Thank you!

[mickeymom923]

I'm leaving early tomorrow to go to Vegas and I haven't packed yet. I can't readily locate the cabin numbers right now. I'll be back on Friday and will PM you the info.

Bev

[KristineN]

sounds good Bev...have a good trip

[jenn&nelsonrego]

You guys must be getting so excited!!!!

[kugalbelle]

Hi everyone,
I know I haven't been on the boards in a very long time.
I have been going through a traumatic personal crisis and have had to cancel our cruise/cruises.
Hope you all have a wonderful cruise.
Regards
Charmaine

[lauraguags]

My husband and I are taking our girls, ages 11 and 6 on for our second cruise ( first was on the Wonder in June 2007). All but the 11 year old are really looking forward to it. Looking forward to traveling on the Magic. Any other helpful hints out there....

[mickeymom923]

Heard this ship is definitely not filled up since it was last minute that they announced this special 3 day. Sounds good to me.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Will get my cabin numbers out; been busy - got engaged; went to Vegas; tomorrow back to work. Just have to get my papers together.

[klsdisney]

I was wondering why the Magic was doing a 3 day cruise. Now I know why because it's in drydock and we will be the first ones to experience the new upgrades! I just read that the adult pool will be getting waterfalls that cascade from the hottubs and cushy deck chairs. Also, each stateroom will be given 22 inch flatscreen tv's on rotatable arms for easier viewing. Awesome. I have been on the Wonder twice and this will be my fourth time on the Magic. See you all there! Oh and are any of you Cast Members? I am!:) :) :) :)

[mickeymom923]

Hi everyone,

For some reason, I got really excited today about doing this cruise. I'm always excited about Disney but I really can't wait.

IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN DOING A DISMEET? I was thinking maybe the secret deck 7 around 3pm. Let me know what everyone thinks.

Can't wait to meet everyone.


Bev:love:

[KristineN]

Bev....we'd be interested!

[klsdisney]

that loos awesome! How do you make your own magnet?

[cathicool]

i'm not a cast member, but i am a travel agent....and a house builder (apparently). i just got finished building my own home ( i was the GC). wow is it a lot of work! actually, that's how i broke my ankle!
physical therapy is helping alot and i am now able to stand and "bear weight with some forward motion", so i am hopeful that i can "walk" by cruisetime.

we are also going to WDW for a week after the cruise- 3 nights at BCV and 4 nights at AKV. we are going to do MNSSHP on 9/30 or 10/2. don't even ask how i am going to get thru the parks!

we are a family of five...me, DH and DD 8, DS 6.5 and DD 4 (9/16 b-day). we are on a GTY verandah status...so 2 cabins....cat 7,or 6,or 5 for us! when we find out, i'll let you know!

anyone know the shows on board? i was told we would see toy story, twice charmed and the golden mickeys. but i posted this on another thread and was told i was misinformed. i really wanted to see toy story!

[klsdisney]

Oh I'm sorry to hear about your ankle. But I'm sure you know how accomidating Disney is if you have to use a Wheelchair. You'll have fun no matter what! Your trip sounds awesome! This is justa quick one for us. We are flying in and just doing one day at the parks before the cruise. My best friend is getting married so this is kind of a bachlorette party at sea. Plus, the 25th is my sister's 35th birthday! It's going to be a blast. We don't know what are stateroom number is yet either.
From what I was reading, Toy Story is only on the Wonder. The Magic never does 3 day sailings so they don't really have a normal itinerary for the shows. Just another excuse to go again To see Toy Story!

[Pirates16103]

Woo Hoo!!!! :banana: I just booked today for this cruise and I'm totally psyched! I can't wait to see what the difference is between the Magic and the Wonder. I've been on the Wonder 3 times so far so this will be a treat! I can't wait, only 3 weeks left. :banana: :cool1:

[klsdisney]

Okay, I don't want to sound stupid but could somebody please give me the meanings to all the codes you use? I am new to the boards and am getting a little confused. Thanks alot!

[ashleylovesthebeach]

We are interested in the Dis meet!
Not much longer now! I am very excited!

[Bradintx]

can't wait!! Only two weeks. I have to say that I have been reading some negative comments on the boards about the ship not being ready for our cruise from dry dock, which I have faith in Disney that they will be on schedule. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!

[ashleylovesthebeach]

So what would they do if it weren't ready?
I surely hope that doesn't happen!

[Bradintx]

Ashley have you looked at any of the other boards, why are people so negative!! They are saying that they most likely will have to cancel this cruise because the ship won't be ready. I don't believe it, we have to think positive thoughts so we will be on the ship on 9/24!!

[Kphelps16]

My parents, myself and my younger sister will most likely be on this cruise.
I only say "most likely" because we haven't booked it yet...i think my mom is while i'm writing this....lol.
anyways my mom and I were watching "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" together when we realized the new spin-off series "The Suite Life on Deck" would be premiering this month. I jokingly mentioned that the cruise would probably have some sort of celebration since it is an Original Series (OS) and the first OS on a cruise ship... when i looked up the premier date its set for September 24th!
We'd already been looking at this cruise because it's fresh out of dry-dock, its in an impossibly perfect time period for our family... I was wondering why noone's brought it up already and what anyone else thought might happen in regards to it..

[KristineN]

If anyone else wants to join in on the Fish Extender Exchange....please PM me ASAP.

Since this is such a small group, I was going to PM a list to everyone that had the names and stateroom numbers on it.

If anyone thinks I should set it up differently, please let me me know sooner than later....

[Kphelps16]

nothing better but to show my non-understanding of the DISBoards but to ask what is the Fish Extender Exchange?
And i'm still waiting impatiently for my mom to get it all booked...she keeps going back and forth between really wanting it and wondering what else we can do...

[lauraguags]

Kristen -

We are interested in Fish Extender program - just incase my PM doesn't work...please email me at laura@guags.com and I will provide appropriate info. We are interested in cruise meet too!!!

Thanks

ok so not to sound mean or anything but 1. nobody cares about The suite life thats why nobodys brought it up.. and no there wont be any celebration for it. 1. it doesnt take place on a REAL cruise ship. 2. yes it is an original series but that doesnt mean anything. the only thing that they might do is show it on the big screen by the pool like they do with everything else.. since they keep the disney channel on just like they have the disney channel in the cabins.. and same thing with HSM and Cheetah girls. they dont do anything special cuz theres no reason to.

so i hope you dont have your hopes up expecting something thats not happening.

[KristineN]

well, that's a little harsh....

I know my kids would care about something like that....although we are sailing solo this time.

However, Kphelps16, they actually did do something on a previous sailing of the Wonder....so you are right, the did do something!...just on an earlier sailing. I have included the press release:

It’s a “Suite Life” on the Disney Wonder with Disney Channel World-Premiere Event
CELEBRATION, Fla. (Aug. 26, 2008) – Disney Cruise Line will host a red-carpet, world-premiere event for the new Disney Channel original series “The Suite Life on Deck,” a spin-off of the Emmy-nominated “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” on the Disney Wonder cruise ship Aug. 28-31.

During this special premiere at sea, guests sailing will experience a Hollywood-style, red-carpet arrival of some of Disney Channel’s hottest stars, an exclusive sneak-peek of the first episode of “The Suite Life on Deck” and an opportunity to participate in a Question & Answer session with stars of the show. Cast members from “The Suite Life on Deck” scheduled to appear include Cole Sprouse (Cody Martin), Dylan Sprouse (Zack Martin), Brenda Song (London Tipton), Phill Lewis (Mr. Moseby) and Debby Ryan (Bailey Pickett). All events will take place on decks 9 and 10 of the Disney Wonder on Friday, Aug. 29, at the family-friendly Goofy Pool.

“The popularity of Disney Channel shows and stars are at an all-time high,” said Disney Cruise Line President Tom McAlpin. “We’re pleased to partner with Disney Channel for this world-premiere event and share some of the red-carpet excitement with our guests, showcasing that Disney difference only Disney Cruise Line can offer.”

“We’re thrilled to give “The Suite Life on Deck” a fabulous bon voyage celebration aboard the Disney Wonder. The cruise ship setting of the series made the Disney Wonder a great fit to host this event,” said Adam Sanderson, Senior Vice President, Brand Marketing, Disney ABC Networks Group. A day after the world-premiere, and following a day of fun-and-sun on Disney’s private island Castaway Cay, another Disney Channel star will take the stage. Mitchel Musso, star of Disney Channel’s “Hannah Montana” and “Phineas and Ferb” will perform a mini-concert at the Goofy Pool. At the concert’s end, Musso will spend a few minutes answering questions from the audience.

This marks the first time Disney Cruise Line and Disney Channel have partnered together to develop a multi-day event. It should prove to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for fans of the Disney Channel sailing on the sold-out voyage.


ok so not to sound mean or anything but 1. nobody cares about The suite life thats why nobodys brought it up.. and no there wont be any celebration for it. 1. it doesnt take place on a REAL cruise ship. 2. yes it is an original series but that doesnt mean anything. the only thing that they might do is show it on the big screen by the pool like they do with everything else.. since they keep the disney channel on just like they have the disney channel in the cabins.. and same thing with HSM and Cheetah girls. they dont do anything special cuz theres no reason to.

Works for me - how many do we have set up so far, I need to start some shopping !!!

[KristineN]

It was 15...but now it has jumped to 21 people...so I may need divide it up so people aren't buying 63 items....

Works for me - how many do we have set up so far, I need to start some shopping !!!

[ashleylovesthebeach]

I also agree that was a little harsh. Although this time is a "Girls Only" trip my children love "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and if they were saililng and something was taking place they would make that a must see for us! :yay:

Not much longer guys! Oh, and I looked on Ebay and the fish extenders I saw were being sold for around $45.00. I can't sew my own but don't see spending that money on one either. Any other ideas on something we could us?
Thanks!

[robind]

I haven't gotten a fish extender yet either. I'm still looking - I may make an attempt at making one. I saw the instructions on a thread, I'm not one to sew but it looked like you could use iron-on interfacing to put it together. Or I may find some thing else to hang out - I heard someone mention finding something in the children's area - a closet organizer type thing.

I'm going shopping this week - I'm on a mission :rotfl:

[KristineN]

Ashley....

I have seen many people with this kind...

I heard someway say they also found something similar at the dollar store...

I think you may be out of time ordering from this vendor....

Also, I have seen people just hang a small canvas bag as well...you could get that at a craft store and just decorate it...

[Kphelps16]

Thanks for the info about the premiere thing. I just couldn't believe that Disney wouldn't do something to take advantage of a money op....lol.
it would've been great to be on that one too, huh?

Edit:
I also just remembered that I figured out how to make these pretty cool name-plate type things. They'd be great for door decorations.
I can put any characters or pictures or anything in any name if anyone wants one.... i'll try to finish up ours and give you guys some idea's for what it looks like....

[klsdisney]

Oh thats's cool! I would love to see what you have created for your door. I'm still trying to think of stuff to do for mine. It's my sisters B-day and I really want to make it special. Has your mom booked the cruise yet? I thought I read that she still wasn't sure. I hope she does. It will be a blast!!

[Kphelps16]

my mom is now beginning to rock back and forth between this one and the thanksgiving one....
the rest of my family just wants to be on the boat!
i really want to do this one so that i can meet all of you guys and feel like a cruise reviewer...it'll be good practice writing a trip report about this one since its fresh out of dry-dock! everyone on the next one will want a day-by-day update...starting with the initial refurbishments that are most appealing!
plus we've only been on the Magic once...not that they're much different but the Magic always feels more...dare i say it...MAGICal than the WONDERful Wonder....lol

[klsdisney]

I couldn't agree more! I really love the Wonder but there is something really special about the Magic. Maybe because it's the first one or something. I really can't wait for the two new ships. I wonder what they'll name them. They should do a contest or something. That would be fun.

[Kphelps16]

lol.
i think that started some intense discussion in my family when they first announced it.
i thought thay'd come up with a new "theme", magic and wonder seem to go together to me now... but i think pretty much everyone else thought it'd be something similar...i guess we'll just have to wait and see.
The one thing that there is absolutely no doubt about is that they will be some of the best ships on the sea...hands down.

[klsdisney]

That's awesome and never happens to me! How did you find out??

[KristineN]

I was looking at my reservation online...and I started freaking out when I saw the my stateroom number changed....finally I figured it out

That's awesome and never happens to me! How did you find out??

[Kphelps16]

that's awesome!
i wish we'd get an upgrade...which reminds me...
WE'RE BOOKED!
i'll send the stateroom number so we can join the FE....man..sorry it took so long....

[KristineN]

WE'RE BOOKED!

[Kphelps16]

AHHHHHh.
it said i haven't made enough posts...i need four more. x.x...
but i also wanted to say that.. I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT YOU WERE THE SAME AS WHO MAKES THE AWESOME DOOR MAGNETS!
I'm just a little slow, but i just joined. THATS INCREDIBLE! I like to make my own but when you see it can you give me some pointers? You're so amazing..i'm really glad i get to meet you!

[KristineN]

I use photoimpact...often they have free trial versions available to download...but I have been doing this a number of years...so don't get frustrated. It takes a while to master these graphic programs...and I still don't have it 100% down.

if you wanted me to make a design for you...I'd be happy to do it...but pick a design soon...


AHHHHHh.

[Kphelps16]

Thanks but i think i'm gonna make this one...i just have to find out what i want exactly...i think i'm gonna make a family one and then name things with favorite characters or something in them...that'll be fun and time consuming...lol i pretty much have nothing else to do...

[klsdisney]

This may sound dumb but once you have the graphic, how do you actually make it a magnet? I feel like a dope for asking that!!

[KristineN]

they sell magnetic paper at the office supply store

This may sound dumb but once you have the graphic, how do you actually make it a magnet? I feel like a dope for asking that!!

[Mariatia3]

:cool1: Just read Kristine's post about her upgrade and thought, hmmm, better check on our ressies and guess what? We were upgraded too! We were orginially booked in Category 10 - secret porthole room - but now hello verandah - category 7!! This is my 7th Disney Cruise since 2004 but my 1st time being upgraded!

Go check out your ressies, maybe everyone got an upgrade! I think this must have something to do with the low number of bookings and maybe the work be completed in these areas during dry dock not being completed. But either way, it works for us! :banana:

Ashleylovesthebeach (Ashley) and I are looking foward to our Girl's Cruise, our DisMeet at 3 p.m. and and the Fish Exchange! WooHoo...:cool1: :cool1:

[cathicool]

hi!
we got our cabin assignment......and documents today via UPS.
we are a family of five, me, DH, DD8, DS6, DD3, but turning 4 on 9/16.
we are in 7528 and 7530. :cool1:

count us in for FE!

thanks!

[pit303]

No upgrade for us maybe they are still working on them keeping my fingers crossed

[KristineN]

we were neighbors originally....what stateroom do you have now? we are 6136

[Bradintx]

We also got an upgrade. We got a Cat 9 from a Cat 12 we were excited to see that we have an outside, that is great. Thanks again KristineN for the door magnet they are so great!

[KristineN]

it looks like I am going to have to redo this FE list....everyone throw out the last couple of PMS from me...I will wait a day or so and the re pm the info out again...

[KristineN]

sure thing! let me know your new stateroom number

We also got an upgrade. We got a Cat 9 from a Cat 12 we were excited to see that we have an outside, that is great. Thanks again KristineN for the door magnet they are so great!

[klsdisney]

All I want IS a stateroom number! I still don't know where I'll be staying. My Rez still says GTY. Ah well, it will be a surprise I quess!

[ashleylovesthebeach]

:woohoo: As Mariatia3 said we have been upgraded to a balcony! I am so excited! :banana: :dance3:

Not much longer and we will all be onboard!
I hope this Disney "Magic" keeps up on the "Magic" and we have great weather!

[KristineN]

Brad...I need your stateroom number

[Bradintx]

We are in the stateroom number that I had provided, sorry for the confusion!

[Bradintx]

Well we finally got our all our docs today!! and Hurricane Ike is just a couple hundred miles off the coast of Houston. We are hoping that we don't have any damage since we leave next Sat for our vacation. The news is making it sounds like there could be some major damage in Houston. We are crossing our fingers!

[Mariatia3]

Brad - Our prayers are with you and your family during this storm. Hope you escape with no damage to your home and neighborhood! Best of luck! :scared: :grouphug: Keep us posted when you can! My sister-in-law lives in Houston and she just emailed us and said she was staying put in her home and was not worried about the storm :confused3 Hopefully, everything will be fine!

Thank you. Definitely ready for Ike to come and go. :yay: I appreciate the thoughts. We are lucky since we are not near the water or a bayou here in Houston. It is already getting windy and there is reports on the news of water coming over the roads in Galveston and other parts of Houston and the storm is 15-20+ hours away. Will keep you updated!

[KristineN]

OK....anyone have any other changes?

I'd like to get this list out tomorrow since I am heading out of town soon

[Emilysmom]

Hello! We are sailing on the 9/27 Magic cruise. Since we are flying in from quite a distance, we are trying to limit how much stuff we bring. So, I just thought that I would check and see if any of you guys are planning to leave behind sand toys when you debark. If so, could you let me know? Thanks so much!

[mickeymom923]

Hi everyone,

4 of us (Bev & Lou, and Lindsay & Brian) were upgraded to balconies (gty) so we do not have our cabin assignments yet. I was told we would get them when we get to the port. If we get them ahead of time, I will post it here. If not, I'll let people know at our DIS meet on the secret deck 7 at 3 pm.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Bev

[KristineN]

Today is the day....the final list needs to go out....

if there are any changes please let me know ASAP

Bev & Lou, & Lindsay & Brian have not been assigned rooms....hopefully everyone can stop by at 3 pm on secret deck 7 for a dis meet and we can let you know the stateroom numbers at that point

I need info from Cathicool....

[ashleylovesthebeach]

I know our ship doesn't leave until Wed but we are leaving SC on Tuesday so one more week! :rotfl: We have decided with gas prices that we are going to fly and we booked our flights yesterday. This actually will cost us less than driving! :cool1:
Mariatia3 flew last year to Europe but she is still a little nervous. I flew once when I was five and don't really remember so I am very excited but also very nervous. Our flight down has a stop so for the first leg we are flying on a very small plane. A crop duster they called it! :upsidedow But I am still excited!
Hope everyone is getting in the "Disney Mood" :wizard: as we don't have much longer left!

[klsdisney]

You will be fine on the small plane and if you get nervous, just picture yourself on the beach at CC with the drink of the day in your hand and it will all seem worth it! :beach:

[ashleylovesthebeach]

You will be fine on the small plane and if you get nervous, just picture yourself on the beach at CC with the drink of the day in your hand and it will all seem worth it! :beach:

That very thought is what is getting me through the days this week! Last time I was on CC I discovered a drink at Heads Up called "Under the Sea".. I can just taste it now!! :banana:

Are you guys going on Tuesday? We are and I am very excited! What a way to start our vacations! :woohoo:

[robind]

So, we are at the one week mark :banana: :banana:

Someone needs to spill the beans - where is the secret deck 7 :confused3

[KristineN]

try looking at

remove all the spaces...It wouldn't let me post the link

So, we are at the one week mark :banana: :banana:

Someone needs to spill the beans - where is the secret deck 7 :confused3

[klsdisney]

We were on deck 7 my last cruise and only two staterooms away from the secret deck and it was wonderful! It's so nice and quiet that we sat out there alot. Of course, it won't be so quiet next Wed. at 3pm!! I look forward to meeting you all! :goodvibes

[Bradintx]

Can't wait to meet you all next week! After we survived Ike here in Houston we are so ready for this vacation and can't wait!

[klsdisney]

Glad you made it through the storm ok! Those pictures on the news are just devastating. I guess after going through something like that, this trip couldn't of come at a better time.

[ashleylovesthebeach]

Is everyone as excited as I am? :dance3: Only three days till we fly down and only four days till we set sail on the Magic! :banana: I think I will start my packing today!
Oh and we got all of our FE gifts! Go Gamecocks! :rotfl:

[robind]

I leave for the airport in 12 hours - yes, I was stupid enough to book a 6am flight - which I am now regretting, but I wanted to have plenty of time to go to Universal tomorrow.

Oh well, I've been upgraded on both flights, so hopefully I can sleep the entire time down to Orlando. I'm all packed except for my "purse" which is really a big tote back which will have some of my fish extender gifts since they wouldn't all fit in the luggage and what seems like 10K charger cords - who would have thought that you had to carry so much electrical equipment for a vacation.:confused3

I think I have everything I need - except for markers for my pillowcases to get signed - which I figure I will pick up when I get to Orlando.

[mickeymom923]

Hi everyone who is still here. We received our cabin assignments. Bev & Lou are in #6646 and Lindsay & Brian are in #6122. Esther & Harley are in #6647. Looking forward to meeting everyone at 3pm at secret deck 7.

Wishing everyone a safe trip.

Don't know how the connection will be from the ship, but I have started a trip report. The link is in my signature.

Please take pictures of all the new upgrades for us. I'm so excited to see what they did in drydock. Thanks. :flower3:

Just a note to all who participated in the Fish Extender group. We loved all the wonderful items. They were simply great surprises when we returned to the room. We loved our trip and hope all of you did as well!!!

Thanks again.....

I second that! We enjoyed the great surprises when we got back to the rooms as well. Jack and I had such a great time and appreciate all the great gifts.

Hope everyone made it home safely. Thank you everyone for the great F.E. gifts. It was great meeting people on deck 7 and around the ship. We had a fantastic time but it was way tooooo short. Going from a 14 day Disney Cruise to a 3 day Disney Cruise was definitely not long enough. Can't wait until May for my wedding on the Wonder.
