My hubby and I leave the 29th and drive down from RI. We are so excited and counting the days, we are staying near the port and driving over. We will be celebrating 35 years of marriage, while on board the ship. After the cruise we go to Disney and then Universal for three and two days. What a trip to look forward too. This is our third Disney Cruise and 14th trip to Disney. Last year was 9/11 and we checked out quick and drove home. Home you all have a safe trip to Florida.

:smooth:

[npall]

I am getting excited, I need this cruise now more than ever! I just started my own business in the last month!


We live in Orlando, so it is just a short trip to the port. It will be me, dh, ds(2) and my mom.

We went on the 4 day Wonder last year and fell in love with DCL!

[4crusinransiers]

Well, we leave on the 21st for 6 days of disneyworld and then 4 days on the space coast. Then off to the Magic!~ See you all on board!

[winnyis]

going to the TA tomorrow to pick up documents. We will be at the Radisson the night of the 30th - anyone else??

Cant wait - 4 more weeks and it will be our turn. Its me, DH, DD(7) and DS(4)

Ginny

[4crusinransiers]

We will be staying at AKL for a week, then to Port Canaveral at the Royal Mansions for 4 days from Aug 27th to Aug 31!!!!

[Sheila Walas]

Ginny,
Hubby and I will be at the Radisson on the 30th also. We are driving down on the 29th. Called on the $59.00 special and was able to get it. Thanks to all the info from DIS. Have a safe trip.

Sheila:Pinkbounc :bounce:

[sumfun]

only got one set of docs so far but we will be there family of 6 & my dad . we'll also be at the raddison on the 30th.hope to meet you , you'll find us by the pool.:cool:

[wjbc]

:Pinkbounc We are going too! Four of us...2 DDs (5 & 8). We are going to Beach Club for 3 days then off to the Port on Sat. morn. DDs would like to meet some others their age prior to going to the club. Anyone interested in meeting up on day 1?

We are looking forward to the cruise.

Joe and Wendy & DDs (Brandie & Courtney)

[winnyis]

My daughter also Courtney is 7 and would love to meet up with some other kids her own age to play with. We will be hanging out at the mickey pool as soon as we get on board. Look for us - my kids will be the two wild ones with blonde hair and great tans.

Ginny

[4crusinransiers]

Is anyone going to be sporting lime green ribbons so we all know were from the Dis?

[sumfun]

wjbc, i have a 5 year old daughter who would love to meet and be friends with yours. her name is robyn.

[wjbc]

Thanks winnyis and sumfun. I told my girls and they were excited. My younger daughter is Courtney - she always thinks it's neat when someone has her same name. I think I will be keeping my older daughter in the 5-7 group with my younger one - she just turned 8 in June so don't think she would be too out of place.

The last time we were on the Magic, Courtney did not care too much for the club - she even had her same-age cousin along with her. DH and I don't want to force the girls to go to the club if they don't like it, but we at least want a couple of nights to get to Palos or the nightclubs.

What time is everyone planning on getting to the Port? I think we'll try to get there by 10:30. I like to get on early and unpack so we can relax the rest of the day. Ginny - I'm sure we'll also be at the Mickey pool shortly after boarding, as that's what we've done on past cruises. If I see anyone matching the description you gave of your kids, I'll try to trace them back to you and introduce ourselves.

Wendy

[sumfun]

we will be staying at the radisson the night before and driving ourself to the port so we will try to be there around 10:30 as well

Has everyone already figured out what night to do Palo's ? I need some help from you cruisin' buddies.

It will be my, dh, ds(2) and my mom.

I would love a romantic dinner just the two of us one night at Palos and another night just mom & daughter night at Palos. I know we can only make one reservation which would you do ? Also what night should I make it ? I don't know about everyone but all these menus have me a bit overwhelmed.

The other thing is that I want to do brunch but Flounders is not open for those times, so one of us will miss it so the other two go. WHat should I do ?

I haven't even began thinking about packing. My dh took off the Friday before so I guess I will do a shopping marathon that day to get everything I need.

BTW we are in room #7104. Come by and say HI!!!!!!!!!

Naomi

[hazmat1212]

Naomi, we're kinda waiting to see what our dinner rotation is ---
we'll find that out @ check-in, i believe

being kid-less we are expecting to start @ luminere --- we're late seating

we would prefer to do Paolo on a SEA day

also, i think there are 'stand-bys' --- when people cancel or are no-shows --- if u r stuck ...

if you have early seating you can snack with your family and still go to Paolo, i've heard ...

can't wait! 15 days!

Hi! We are so excited! This is our first cruise (well, DH went with his ex fiance, but we won't go there). My kids can't believe there is a special place for them to hang out. All they can talk about is making gooze and having a slumber party with Goofy. DD is almost 5 and DS just turned 6.

If we meet someone here on the board, can we try and get seated with them? That's what I was hoping. We will be at the Raddison on the 30th after visiting the inlaws in Tampa.

Have a swell day! See you all soon!
Kitty

[winnyis]

I have a DS (4-1/2) and a DD (7-1/2).

Cant miss my kids, both blonde, great tans and skinny. Their names are Courtney and Connor.

We will be by the pool all day

Ginny

[hazmat1212]

KITTY ---
to change seat location/table would mean, upon arrival on the ship, you would need to change entire party with Head of Dining
---
(happens all the time, i'm sure)
don't think you can do that without everyone's ressie numbers before the sailing --- if it's even do-able (?) before.
rotation assignments are either in your stateroom or @ check in (someone else may know better)
3 dining rooms means 3 diff rotations
Animator, Luminere, Parrot

ex: could be any of these three

Ginny,
I'm sure my kids will find your kids easily.

I too am quite easy to spot in a crowd. I have red bangs and long black hair. I may look "different" but I am quite friendly and don't bite. My hubby is Mr. Clean Cut. We look so funny together!

What are you doing with your kids in the different ports? I heard that there is a place that the younger kids can go touch the stingrays when they take a glass bottom boat ride at Cayman. Is there anywhere else that does this?

While I'm on a roll.....I read that there are bat caves on Cozumel. Where can I find more info on this? I have searched and couldn't find anything.

Thanks for your help!
Kitty

[4crusinransiers]

Were getting closer everyone!? Anyone know how late you can make palo reservations. Is it best to make it on formal or semi formal nights??? Kinda wanted to eat formal with my boys though... they even have tuxes!
See you all soon! Anyone know if we are on a full boat???

[hazmat1212]

when having problems w/our CAT 6 we were told there were only 4 cabins left in CAT 6 --- surprising. not sure whether that has ANY relevance to rest of ship ???

[winnyis]

at the hotel. We did it last year and it was pretty good and very convenient. I think my kids were even free (if not they were extemely cheap).

Cant wait 2 weeks from today we will be on our way.

Ginny

[lindystar]

Only two weeks from tomorrow! Setting sail with Mom and my two sisters. One of my sisters is a travel agent, any other agents going to be onboard? I'm new to this forum thing, do ya'll hook up during the week? We did the eastern the same week last year and had the calmest seas possible. I make more waves in my tub. We've always had the best luck with any Disney vacation, we call it being in the "Disney bubble".

[winnyis]

cruise the same week last year (only last year it was the 9/1 Magic) - wasnt that the best weather. I hope we are as lucky this year - cant wait.


Ginny

[hazmat1212]

4cruisinrainsers brought up lime green ribbons (?)

late seating, we hope

many will be @ Radisson on 8/30

We'll be there on the 31st & are SO ready for this cruise.

We'll be poolside as soon as we board I'm sure. Look for my dd(just turned 8) and ds (almost 6) going down the Mickey slide over and over and over again!!
Hubbie & I will be poolside sipping some tropical drink & with big, relaxed smiles!!

Just a few more days now...see you then!

[dgsnj]

I'll be on the Western sailing of the Magic on August 31, 2002. On board with me will be DD 13 and DS 16 (and possibly DS's 16 year old friend).

Any other teens sailing that date? Perhaps you can get to know each other in cyberspace before meeting at Common Grounds!

See you all soon!
