Who's sailing Jan 17, 2004 seven day Magic?

[Gretel]

I can't stand the wait!

[MNmom]

Hey Gretel!!!!

I can't believe we will be on the same cruise again! I think albiats is also registered for this one too!!

I just got home last night from a Royal Caribbean (Voyager) cruise with my husband;) and all I could think about was our cruise next year with the kids on the MAGIC!!! So I decided to check the DIS for the first time in a while and I find you...again!! i guess this cold mn weather is getting to all of us!!

My DH and DS (4) will be joining us this time as well as my mother and DDs (10 and 7).

How in the world are we going to get through the next 10 months??:rolleyes:

Happy Cruisin' MNmom:jester:

[Gretel]

I have seen names listed on the unoffical list Cass has. And I am booked thru DU and it says 13 families are on the Jan 17th cruise so I know you guys are out there!!!

Can't wait MNmom!

[steveandtonya]

My family will be coming off the Magic as you are coming on. We sail on 1/10/04 the Eastern Magic. Enjoy, only about 45 weeks to go.

[singitalto]

We're going on the Jan 17,2004 Magic too!!

So do you guys have kids and if you do what are their ages.
My DD will be 12 on Jan 17,2004 and my DS will be 10 by the time the cruise comes. I can't wait- it's too far away. I hate wishing my life away so we can go on this cruise- my familys 1st Disney cruise
(Me and hubby went on one for our honeymoon 13 years ago)

MaryAnne

[mark & sandra]

We're going too!!! Our 1st cruise. Me, DH, DD(11),and DS(9) As you may have noticed, I started a thread to let others know of a deal with another TA that was much less then I'd seen elsewhere, and it has snowballed into so much more. Is this the start of some sort of Dis Meet?

[singitalto]

Mark & Sandra- So happy to see other kids my kids ages from the DIS boards will be on the cruise!!!!
We will have to compare notes as the time drags till then!!! We got a great deal with Costco otherwise AllSeasons was looking good too.

[Gretel]

I will be sailing with my DH, and daughters Caitlin 15, and Emilee 13. AAAAaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh I just realized they will both be teenagers when we sail!! Guess I wont be seeing much of them!

[mark & sandra]

Hello singitalto- We're also neighbors. We're in Ronkonkoma. DH used to work in Deer Park, on Brook ave. off Bayshore rd. Are you flying out of MacArthur ? We haven't decided if we will fly in on Sat. and go to the Port or fly in on Fri. and get a room near the Port. The weather in Jan. is so unpredictable that I don't want to risk missing our cruise.

[singitalto]

Wow- What a small world. Right now we haven't made our flight plans(which is kinda ok with me cause I really don't like flying any way) But we will definately be flying out of MacArthur- so much easier that the other two airports. I am hoping that we can spend some time at WDW- like 3 days before the cruise and then move over to a hotel the night before.

I agree about the weather- I don't want to take a chance either, better to be safe then sorry.

I soooooooo can't wait, if you guys don't mind me asking where are your rooms? We are on Deck 6- room 6548.(A realllllll Splurge for us):Pinkbounc

[mark & sandra]

I quess we're still neighbors. Also Deck 6- rm 6106, about 30 cabins away on the other side of the ship.

[Gretel]

we are in 6610!

[singitalto]

Wow- when we booked back in November I figured mid/forward ship was best???? I have been torn about changing it to an aft room(was looking at 6108 back then) Aft rooms are so much closer to pool, Topsiders etc. I just hope I don't regret picking the room I did.

[dan and scott]

We are also on this cruise! Looking forward to it, we have a secret porthole room booked.

Dan

[mark & sandra]

Before we booked with AllSeasons we had a quote from DreamsUnlimited and the room they held for us was 6108. We thought it would be a good location, so we asked AllSeasons for a room close to it and they gave us the room next door.

[MNmom]

We decided to go toward the aft too. Just switched our connecting rooms to 6604 and 6606. I think we will put grandma and the kids (DS3, DD7,DD11) in the one that sleeps 4 and leave the other one for DH and myself;)

Can't wait!!

Happy Cruisin' MNmom:jester:

[tmli]

We will also be on that cruise. Will be booking this week. Myself and ds(7).

I've cruised a few times before it's the first for my ds. Hubby doesn't travel! DS thinks he's getting all day massages, LOL.

[carolsherman]

one of the du families here DH, DS8, DS11 and myself our first 7 day disney cruise can't wait we also have a secret porthole room booked

[carolsherman]

bump

any others

[kelly alvermann]

Our family will be first time cruisers on the 1/17/04 7 day western cruise. I just discovered this discussion website and am already gaining a ton of knowledge. My husband and I will be travelling with our four sons (5,7,9,10), our neice (8) and my Mom. We booked Category 11 rooms 6055 and 6053. We are not planning on being in our rooms too much, so hopefully won't be regretting booking a higher category. CAn't wait!!!:bounce:

[tmli]

Welcome to the Dis boards, I always book a less expensive category when I cruise, I spend very little time in the cabin.

[PAGirl]

I've been watching and waiting for our date to show up on a thread!

We're on Jan 17th. First timers!

We have two DS (4 and 6). I cannot wait! This winter in PA has been simply awful! Too much snow and not enough warmth.

DCL here we come...
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[steveandtonya]

My family and I will be getting off the Eastern cruise when you are getting on. Where from Pennsylvania are you from?

[PAGirl]

We're from the currently cold and still-snow covered part of Harrisburg! Although I consider Lancaster home for me....that's where I grew up. Are you from PA??

Yesterday and today are finally getting spring like. If next winter is like this one, I'm sure I'll try to talk my DH into another cruise REAL SOON!!!

[mark & sandra]

Hi again Gretel- I just read your post that you're on the Jan. 3rd-10th cruise. Then I remembered this post of yours that says your cruising on Jan. 17th-24th. All I can say is WOW!!
Sandra

[Gretel]

we switched our dates to the 17th.................we are not going on the 3rd................how i wish!!!!

[albiats]

Hi everyone -

My DW and I are booked for this cruise too, we'll be celebrating our 34th Wedding Anniversary on the 20th while onboard.

We are having second thoughts about it though. Along with several others here, we were on the 1/19/02 Eastern Cruise and we both really really enjoyed it. We both liked the days at Sea and we enjoyed St Martin and St Thomas very much.

Before DCL announced they were going to start doing a Western route, we went on a Western Caribbean cruise aboard a Carnival Fun Ship in early 2001. The ship wasn't nearly as enjoyable as the Magic but the destinations were the same, in most cases, and we enjoyed them.

Since either route would technically be a repeat cruise for us, I'm starting to lean towards repeating the eastern route first, which would require us to change the date we cruise.

For now, we're still planning to enjoy the Western cruise on 1/17/04.

P.S. - Oh yeah, no grand kids or DD or SIL this time, just us.

[Robert and Kelley]

We will also be on the cruise. Our kids will be 12 and 11 for this one. Lets hope for great weather. We are in cabin 6054.

[mark & sandra]

[jmunutt]

Gretel, MNmom and Albiats,

We are going to be on this cruise too! I still remember the last Jan. cruise we went on and had such a blast! I can't wait and I'll be looking for you all at the meet on board!

Debby


:bounce:

[MNmom]

Hey jmunutt-- that is great!!! Can't wait to hook up with everyone again.

I hope everyone is getting excited!! 8 MONTHS FROM TODAY!!!

Is there such a thing as an 8 month happy dance;)

I also wanted to remind everyone to sign-up on the Unofficial Cruise List. I think it is at the top of this board listed as "who's sailing with us". We are getting quite a group together. Should make for a fun DIS meet and lots of laughs around the ship. I promise I won't get suckered into the Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive" lip sync contest:eek: (It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't met all the DISers at the meet- otherwise I wouldn't have known anyone in the audience.) Needless to say, I heard about my second place finish the rest of the week.

I am new to this board but love it already! Just booked the Jan. 17th cruise--DH & DD 9 and DD 7 (she will turn 8 on the cruise). We are all very excited and can't wait for January!

[MNmom]

Hi everyone!!

I just wanted to let everyone know that the Radisson has opened their dates for Jan. I have been checking their website for quite a while and they were not taking ressies yet. Last night I got on and booked a 1 bedroom whirlpool suite for 119.00 the night before our cruise. I think this is pretty good since we have 3 adults and 3 kids and we were planning on booking 2 rooms. However, this suite sleeps 6!! We saved a whole room!!! I also think they have a AAA rate of 109.00 for this room too!! SOrry I don't know the rate for the standard rooms.

Would love to meet up with some of you the night before the cruise at the pool!! We did this on our last cruise and had a great time. The infamous Shirley from The Perfect Gift even came to meet us!! Thanx for the treats, SHirley;)

This is a great way to start a fantastic cruise week. It is nice to meet some people before and put faces to all the screen names!!

[carolsherman]

Any Newcomers to the 1/17/04 cruise my boys age 8 and 11 are looking for friends to play/meet up with

[MNmom]

200 DAYS TO GO!!!! Let's do the happy dance:Pinkbounc

Hey everyone--my counter says 199 cuz we are going the night before!!

We are starting to hit the summer sales for cruise wear!! I just got my DD a white prom dress on the clearance rack for 12.97 marked down from 109.00!!! SHe will look so nice on formal night!! If only she would wear it:confused:

PS- We just had another family join our cruise. They will be a lot of fun and this will be the first cruise for their kids (DS-8) and (DD-5).

[mark & sandra]

Hi MNmom- Thanks for the heads up at the Radisson. I've been waiting for them too. I booked the 2 kingbed bedroom with AAA disc. for 109.00. Any one else spending the night before at the Radisson? Pre-Cruise Dis pool meet?? We'll be there.
Sandra

[Degaf]

Another Pennsylvania family (outside Pittsburgh) getting away from the cold and snow! Second cruise for us, did the Eastern 7 day in Aug. 2001. Sailing will be my DS (I assume that is son) 13, and DD 9. As a special surprise I booked a cabin for my parents who are in their mid 70's. Will be my dad's first cruise! We have two cabins on deck 7 ( I don't have the room numbers availble). Will be coming in a day early so if there is a "get together" at the Radisson, let me know. Also, if there are any teens or kids around 9 for my daughter to hang out with, let me know!

[MNmom]

Hey everyone!!

Just wondering if anyone noticed that we have less than 6 months to go!!!!

Hope you are all enjoying your summer.

[FabFam4]

We are booked on this cruise. We have two daughters, one will turn 7 on the cruise and the other will be 10. This will be our third Disney Cruise but our first Western.

We plan to arrive in Orlando a day early. I noticed some comments about the Radison. Is it recommended?

[MNmom]

Hey FabFam4-

My DDs are 7 and 10 too!! We have been on the Magic once in 2002 with just the girs (Nana too) and this time we are bringing my DH and DS (4). We should definitely hook up.

I have stayed at the Radisson twice and are planning on staying there again this Jan. It has a great pool/hot tub area and it is always nice to meet others headed for the Magic the night before the cruise. We had about 15 of us last time and even had the pleasure of meeting Shirley from "THe Perfect Gift". The standard rooms are very basic but the 1 Bedroom Jacuzzi Suites are very nice. There are 2 king beds and a corner Jacuzzi in the bedroom and a nice sitting area with a kitchenette (micro/fridge/sink/table). We were so glad to have these rooms sleep 6 so we didn't have to book 2 rooms. We also got this room for only 119.00. I have heard others getting it for 109.00 with AAA. Not bad.

I am sure a group of us from this thread will be getting together the night before and you are welcome to join us. It is always nice for the kids to meet and then see some familiar faces once they are on the ship!

Have fun planning... I know we are:cool:

[MickeyMagic]

Every so often I see this thread pop up for the 1-17-04 cruise with so many familiar names. I justed wanted to say "Hi" to MNmom, gretel, albiats, and jmunutt who we cruised with back in January 02. I'd love to be sailing with you guys again, but we are booked for 3-20-04 over spring break (Magic - Eastern).

Sounds like you already have a great group of DISers on your 1-17-04 cruise! I'm sure you'll have a great time!!!!!



:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

[Towncrier]

Not us. :(

Sure would love to cruise with all you folks again. I've really got a bad case of DCL fever. Hope you all have a great time. If the itinerary takes you to St. Maarten, have a Guavaberry Colada for me. :)

[Boomdocker]

:wave: Greetings from the UK :wave:

My friend and I are sailing on the Magic on this date. This will be our first time on Magic having sailed on the Wonder Jan 03 and 02. Very much looking forward to the ports of call that we have never done before: Key West, Cayman and Cozumel.

Can't wait........less than 6 months to go. Woo Hoo!!!:)

[MNmom]

Hey fellow 1/17 cruisers!!

There are some newcomers to our cruise that I wanted to connect to our group. I am sure most of us are very busy with our summer schedules and some of you may even be getting ready to get the kids back to school soon. But this cruise is coming up very fast!!! In a few days we will be under 5 months to go. Sounds like a long time but with school starting and then the holidays it will be here before you know it.

Welcome new 2/17 cruisers. Please introduce yourselves.

We should start thinking about meeting up at the Radisson the night of the 16th and one or two times while we are on board. Any thoughts on that??!

Vicki
Rich
Nana
DD (10.5)
DD (7)
DS ( turning 4 on cruise!!)

[carolsherman]

Don't you mean 1/17/04???

[MNmom]

YES!!:rolleyes:

I meant to welcome the newcomers to the 1/17/04 cruise!!

Boy wouldn't it be nice to do the 1/17 and the 2/17??!??

I was just trying to get everyone over to this thread for this cruise. Hope it works.

[FabFam4]

Which Radisson is everyone staying at?

[carolsherman]

I hear you to do both 1 and 2/17 would be awesome, Can't wait to meet all the people going I know my kids are excited and hoping to get penpals beforehand so far doesn't seem like anyone is interested

[klineyqueen]

I finally found you!!!! I have searched and searched and even started a new thread (oops)...but I am so excited to say we are going with everyone!!!!!!!!
My DH, DS (7.5 months at cruise time), DParents, and DFriends will be cruising with us. We are all staying in category 11 rooms...we are in 6321. My DFriends have 3 daughters 12, 9, and 3.
This is our second Disney cruise...the other being only 3 days..but it is our friends first Disney cruise. We are all so excited!!!
I used priceline and got 2 rooms for 50 bucks each...but they aren't at the radisson...I am so bummed out! They are for Holiday Inn Ocean Front in Cocoa Beach.

I am relatively new to the board but I am thrilled to be here now! This will be a great crusie...I am happy to get out of Pennsylvania in winter!

[MNmom]

FabFam4- I think we have 5 or 6 families staying at the Radisson at the Port. It is in Port Canaveral and has a nice pool area to concregate the night before. SHould be a lot of fun for the kids and for the adults too!! THere is also a free shuttle to the ship in the morning. We have stayed there twice before and it has always been very nice.

carolsherman- My DD(10.5) would love to get some emails going with other kids going on this cruise. Maybe they could start their own thread?

We are starting to think about our transportation to the port and our excursions. THis is soooo much fun!!!

[carolsherman]

Sounds great to my son he is looking forward to hearing from her our e mail is cshermi69@cox.net

[carolsherman]

bump

[mark & sandra]

Hi carolsherman- My DD (11), and DS (8) would be interested too. I'll PM you an address.

[MNmom]

WE ARE LEAVING 5MOS FROM TODAY!!!! But who's counting??

carolsherman-- my DD sent an email out tonight to your DS. She was very excited to talk to someone else about the cruise besides her nutty DMom!!!

mark and sandra-send me your DDs and DSs email too!! I guess the excitement isn't just for the adults:p

[carolsherman]

I agree with you there I am hoping even mom here makes a few dis friends I agree my kids are tired of hearing mom being so excited it will nice for them to have friends that know a little about them beforehand and maybe make a few penpals along the way

[carolsherman]

mn mom I just sent you a PM


Also Kelly Avermann I sent you a PM also a few days ago

[klineyqueen]

Is anyone planning on getting the lime green paint swatches to identify each other as Disers? Just wondering.

Brandi

[MNmom]

Brandi-

We picked up our paint swatches a few months ago but I didn't know which color to get....so I got both!!! We have Sonic Boom and Gamma Sector Green. I have heard people making name tags by writing their names on the swatches and them have them laminated. I don't know if I am that "crafty" so we will probably just put holes into them and tie them to our luggage and carry ons.

Does anyone else have any suggestions for these very cute Mickey-head paint swatches (available at Home Depot!!) ?

[mark & sandra]

MNmom- just sent you a PM, I know it seems foolish to post this, it's like calling someone after sending a fax.:o

[BAKAROMA]

How awesome to hook up with all of you. The anticipation is incredible. My wife and I have three daughters and they will be 5, 6, 8. We are SO excited. What do you experienced winter cruisers think about water and air temps especially at Cataway Cay? I will be asking many questions soon to come. I have been visiting the Passporters boards, but this one is much more active.

[FabFam4]

We have done a December and a January cruise. The weather was excellent both times. The water on Castaway Cay was a little on the chilly side for me but, after I got use to it, no problem.

[mark & sandra]

Hello BAKAROMA- Welcome to the Disboards. I've found this board to be very helpful for info and the people are the best. Don't forget to add you name on the unofficial cruise list www.casshew.com/cruisebydate.htm

[BAKAROMA]

Currently we are booked to stay in Orlando on the night of the 16th and then taking a tiffany limo to the Port on the 17th. Should we just go to a motel on the Port the night before? What is so special about the Raddison? What other hotels are close and good?

[mark & sandra]

Since it's our first cruise, I can't tell you why the Radisson is so appealing other then meeting up with some fellow cruisers the night before. It seems nice to be able to recognize some faces on the ship during your cruise, and to have the kids make a few friends before the cruise so they can already have some friends in the kids clubs.

[MNmom]

I totally agree with mark & sandra!! It is great to meet fellow cruisers the night before. It is kind of like starting your vacation a day earlier and it is so nice to bump into each other on the ship and see a familiar face.

I also think it depends on what time you are arriving in Orlando. If you have a late flight(after dinner) then I thing getting to a hotel close by the airport for a good night sleep is a good idea. But if you are coming in earlier in the day then making the drive to the port and enjoying Cocoa Beach/ Ron Jon's/ or the Radisson pool is very nice too.

The Radisson is only about 1mile from the ship and has complimentary van service. There are some other threads on these boards about the Radisson (some good and some bad). We have stayed there twice and have had great rooms (2 kings and a jacuzzi in the bedroom and a pull out couch in the living room) and we love to hang out at the pool the night before and meet others headed to the cruise the next morning!!

GRETEL--where are you??? Have you taken the summer off?? We hope to hear from you soon. The kids will be back to school in a week and then it is time to start some serious planning!!!


****If anyone has a 9-13 year old that is interested in emailing my DD please PM me. She has sent out a few emails(carolsherman/mark&sandra) and would love to get to know other pre-teens going on our cruise.

[FabFam4]

MN Mom,

Please have your DDs e-mail my DDs at debbies@megsinet.net

Thanks

[5DisneyDiggers]

Hi all!
We are newbies to the DISboards. We are the friends of KlineyQueen. We have 3 DDs, DD3, DD8 and DD11. We have been on other cruises but this will be our first Disney cruise. We are all excited! We never expected to book a cruise this year - funny what happens at music lessons sometimes (right KlineyQueen)! Our girls would love to hear from other DDs that will be joining us on the cruise. We'll be staying at the Wyndham Orlando Resort the night before. Anyone have any feedback on this property? Look forward to hearing from y'all.

[mickeyfan4444]

Our family is also going 1-17-04 on our second disney cruise. I am really enjoying reading all the info on this board. Our group consists of myself, my DH, DS13, DD12, DS9, DD7, my mom, my best friend and her mom. Last time we all went except this is the first time for my friend's mom. I agree that it would be nice if the kids would meet new friends online before the cruise. An e-mail pen pal would only add to the excitement.

Is anyone staying on Disney property before leaving? We are staying at Carribbean Beach Resort. Thought that would make us feel like we were already on the cruise!

Can't Wait To Go.:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

[klineyqueen]

Hi Diggers...Glad to see you found the Disboards. They are a very informative place to surf! Music lessons can be very MAGICAL!!!!

[BAKAROMA]

I am so excited to know many of you have kids that are our kids names. In our neighborhood we have many kids that are the same age as our kids. The exception is for our dd who will turn five 1/2/04. How many of you have dd's or ds's that age? Our dd 5 never seems to get to have "her own friends."

[carolsherman]

This is so great my kids are so excited that they will be knowing quite a few of you all before the cruise. If anyone else is interested in either e mailing my boys 8 and 11 or even mom just pm me Its to bad we won't get to meet many of you till the day of the cruise we will be staying at the hyatt at the airport this time our flight doesn't arrive until after 9 pm I have yet to get my lime green swatches yet 4 more months guys but whos counting LOL

[BAKAROMA]

I am so excited to know many of you have kids that are our kids ages(yes I miss typed names instead of ages last time. No wonder no one replied). In our neighborhood we have many kids that are the same age as our kids. The exception is for our dd who will turn five 1/2/04. How many of you have dd's or ds's that age? Our dd 5 never seems to get to have "her own friends."

[mark & sandra]

Hey MNmom and carolsherman- I'm surprised at you. Are you shirking your duties? Weren't you supposed to announce how long until our cruise? Today is the 17th (hint, hint). lol Hope all is well with all.
Sandy

[MNmom]

Hi guys--

So sorry I missed the 4 month "HAPPY DANCE":Pinkbounc

I am at the hospital with my best friend who has asked me to participate in the birth of her 3rd baby!!! We have been here most of the evening and still have a few hours to go! I have been thinking about the cruise all day and just found the computer in the Family Waiting Lounge. So here I am.....

We booked Captain Marvins Stingray City Tour --the 11:15 trip. Anyone else book any excursions yet??

We're getting close!!!

[mark & sandra]

If any of our shipmates are flying to Orlando using Southwest, they finally opened their dates to include our travel dates.
Sandy

[BAKAROMA]

I sure hope the price I got on Continental is at least close to SWA's out of SLC.

[mark & sandra]

For those who booked quickly, they were offering 57.00 each way.

[MNmom]

Hi Folks-

I don't know about yours but our family is getting very excited for this cruise. My girls made a paper chain with 100 rings on it and they are going to start today taking one ring off each day. THat means we have 100 DAYS until we leave for our cruise!!!

Where is everybody?? We have 21 families signed up for this cruise through the DIS (one of the largest!!). I have been seeing a lot of posts from the 1/10 and the 1/24 cruises and think it is our turn to get excited

We are still debating the Dolphin Swim vs. the Encounter through Disney but we have already booked the Stingray City Trip with Captain Marvin. Anyone have any suggestions for Key West?? My DH thinks we should just stay on the ship and enjoy a relaxing day:rolleyes: But I think since we are there we should go do and see!!

Well-- I think I need to hit the summer clearance racks and buy some sandals and bathing suits for my kids now because there is a very good chance they will outgrow the ones they wore all summer:teeth:

Happy Shopping!

[BAKAROMA]

:bounce: It is great to be looking at double digit numbers starting tomorrow! Where is everybody is a good question. I think it is time to share itinerary ideas. a friend borrowed all my infor so i do not have it handy. I will post what excursions we are thinking about and what onboard ressies we are considering in hopes of getting everybodt's feedback. we are still looking for someone with a DD or ds to hook up with our DD who will be five 1/02/04. She will be missing her sisters who will be with kids there own age. If we could tell her we have found her a friend before we even cruise she would think she is pretty neat. We are flying in so late we will stay in Orlando at the hampton Inn airport and then take a limo early Saturday moring. If there is a small family three or four maybe we could split the limo w reserved. Let's stay active and share ideas as a group!!! Any lime green ideas?

[carolsherman]

yea ha almost the double digits dance time. I went today and walmart was having a great sale bought shorts for the boys at $5 a piece and summer t shirts for $3 a piece not bad got 6 outfits for less than $50 not bad!! I have e mailed a few of the dis moms so far only one response and my kids have also e mailed no response lately lets get this group a rocking :wave: :wave:

[BAKAROMA]

Wal~Mart bargains hurray1 We got snorkel, mask, and fins for under $10 a set on close outs. We are still looking for close outs on suits. Any other news on the World According to Jim?

[carolsherman]

BAKORAMA I sent you a pm

[BAKAROMA]

Sorry, I never got it. Try bakaroma@sisna.com or keith.klein@besd.net

[carolsherman]

sent the email

OK guys almost double digits after today for me


Lets hope we have nice weather.

Lets see the kids and I are doing the horseback riding in Grand Cayman, Possible the jeep tour in Cozumel, renting bikes on Castaway Cay (its awesome we did it in February of this year), and Buying trolley tickets online to just kick around key west. Anybody else !!!!!

As far as lime green ideas we already have our Disney lime green swatches from Home Depot they are so cute in the shape of Mickeys Head

[BAKAROMA]

I got some lime green ribbon today!! What are we going to do without dueling piano's???? I will have a bit of a crisis w/o ESPN box too. I gave friend our itinerary to look at so I will post our excursions and ressie plans as soon as I get it back from him.

[MNmom]

Let me get this straight...

ESPN---becoming a teen hangout.

Uncommon Grounds--becoming a coffee house (This could be dangerous.....I usually just bring a bunch of International Delights and mix it in my regular coffee:rolleyes: )

Dueling Pianos (can't remember the real name)-- sports bar??

I think we should also see the new show "Golden Mickeys". I've read that this is fantastic!!!

Am I missing anything?? Can't wait to hear the scoop after dry dock.

[MNmom]

hey carolsherman---

I picked up my Mickey Head green swatches from Home Depot tonight. What are you going to do with them??

I have heard some people make buttons or name tags from them but I am not that crafty:rolleyes:

Any ideas??

[BAKAROMA]

does anyone know how a DISer get together gets organized on ship? I saw something about DISer shirts being ordered. Does anyone know about that? Count'em down!

[klineyqueen]

:Pinkbounc I am so excited!!!! My whole family is ready for a vacation!! My husband and I are doing the jeep tour in Cozumel. My baby is spending that day with his Grammy and Pappy. Our other excursion are baby friendly - - we are touring the other two throught Disney! Train in Key West and Bus tour in Grand Cayman.
We got the baby some really cool cruise wear on the bargin racks!
We had a bib made for him for christmas...it says My First MAGICAL Cruise. It has the date of sailing and a mickey. We know a lady who does that machine stitching. It is so cute!

[BAKAROMA]

Following are our tentative plans
Palo Late dinner Day 2 Key West, so we can see the sunset before dinner
High Tea Day 3 @ sea
brunch Day 6 @ sea
Excursions
Key West- play it by ear
Grand Cayman- 1/2 Captain Marvin (booked it), seven mile beach and/or shopping
Cozumel-Chankanaab or Mr. Sanchos, Sally's mini golf, and shop (whew that might be too much)
Castaway- nothing too expensive water temps will determine a lot on this day

[klineyqueen]

Your trip itinerary sounds like so much fun!!! You have no idea how excited we are all becoming as this trip approaches. With the holidays coming...we will be so busy that it will help to speed the time until we sail!

[MNmom]

IT"S THE THREE MONTH HAPPY DANCE:Pinkbounc :bounce:

I almost forgot. We are leaving tomorrow for a 3 day trip down into the Grand Canyon!!! I am a little nervous for all of the hiking 7miles down the rim and 10 miles back up!!!! Once we get home next week then it will be serious cruise count down!!!

My girls have been swamped with school work this year but once we are back from this trip they will try to get in touch with some of your kids too.

I am a little jealous that you are so organized with your planning already. Your itinerary looks great. We will be with Captain Marvin too, except we are on the 1100 tour. We are also planning Chakanaab and Minigolf too!!

WOW---I still can't believe it is 3 months away!!!

I'll check back in when I return next Friday!!!:wave2:

[BAKAROMA]

MNmom,

I will be intersted to see how busy things were at the Grand Canyon. It is a Utah holidaay this week and many head that way. We are in Northern Utah. My wife is from Apple Valley and I am originally from Northern Idaho. Count'en down.

[BAKAROMA]

Hey, what do we need to do to get everyone chatting on the cruise meets page?

[MNmom]

I am back from my Grand Canyon trip:D It was fantastic and a great experience to hike all the way to the bottom...and back!! Please PM me if you have any questions about it. I encourage everyone to make this trip and not to just go LOOK at the canyon!!

But now it is time to get serious about cruise planning!!!
Where is everyone? I wonder if some of you are emailing each other and not making it to the boards. Come back...we miss you and we are getting so excited:Pinkbounc :bounce:

Has anyone every heard of Cartier Towncar company? We have 10 people and would like to ride together in a van. This is my cruise planning activity for the week.

[Freelion]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the boards and was very excited to find this thread!:Pinkbounc

This will be our first ever cruise. We love the idea of meeting up with DIS folks. We will be at the Radisson on the 16th too, so count us in on any pre cruise or cruise meetups.

Let me introduce our families.

My family: Me, 43; DH 41; DD 6

Friend's Family FF, Her DH, DD 6 and DD 3

We will be celebrating our 20th anniversary, my birthday (2 weeks before we sail) and dd's birthday (2 weeks after).

Someone on here was asking about friends for her daughter who will turn 5. Both our girls are 6 but I'm sure they would love to email her and know they have a "club buddy" ::MinnieMo before we leave.

How do I add that countdown thing to my messages?

Can't wait to cruise!
Freelion

[BAKAROMA]

Freelion,

I have the dd who will turn 5 1/04. Looking at the age breaks she will have her sister with her who is 7. Our soon to be 5 year old is always the odd one out so if I could tell her I have already found her some friends she will think she is cool. You could sen me an e-mail at bakaroma@sisna.com or a pm through the boards. I could send you a photo so agian she would feel pretty cool. She is a pretty funny kids bewteen her facial expressions, vocabulary she's trying to grow into, and her square body.

Keith

We look forward to getting to know everyone in advance of the trip. The countdown continues. I am wondering if there will be any other educators playing hooky on our trip. I am a principal and my wife is a teacher. This date was just about the only week we had no conflicts all year.

[Freelion]

Keith,

My daughter loves the idea. I tried to send you an email last night but it bounced back. So I sent you a pm with more info. The girls would love to exchange photos and maybe notes or drawings or such.

Freelion

[BAKAROMA]

Freelion,
I have not gotten a pm for so long I can't figure out how to get it and can't find directions in the FAQ. Anyway, pictures will be a snap. We could do snail mail pen pals too.

[BAKAROMA]

There is as much as a seven day difference in the counters all of you are using. What is upo with that? How many of you have cruised DCL in January? I am curious about your weather experiences.

[klineyqueen]

I have not cruised in January, but I have searched the web for weather. The average temps. are rather warm. From what I have read that other people said...it can be anywhere from really warm to cold!! I guess it is a lot of luck. I can bet that the nights will be rather cool... when we cruised in August...it was cool outside at night. I am hoping for the best!

[BAKAROMA]

Hurray!!! We got our excursion stuff today. Another thrill on the way to our cruise. Too bad there isn't anything in there I didn't already know thanks to the boards.

[mark & sandra]

O.K. all, tomorrow is the 2 month countdown. Can you feel the excitment building yet?
Sandra

[5DisneyDiggers]

Yes, we are getting closer, aren't we! Our cruise will be here before you know it! We are driving to Florida on January 14th (and into the 15th), so we're under 2 months already. We plan on hitting the Parks on the 15th and 16th before heading to the Magic on the 17th. Anyone else doing this? We're getting new park-hoppers before this trip, so we'll have a few days left on them after this trip - sounds like another Disneyworld vacation in the near future! Our DDs are getting excited! I think they have an idea of what it will be like, but I'm guessing we're all in for some GREAT surprises!

The 5DisneyDiggers

[mark & sandra]

We also plan to get there a day early, not taking any chances with a New York winter storm, we plan on going to Universal on the 16th (renewing our annual passes for 99.00) then driving over to the port and spending the night before at the Radisson.

[Thumper7796]

hello! We are new here...this is our first cruise ever...1/17/04...Can't wait! 6 of us going...my husband, 2 daughters (ages 6 & 11), and my parents. Any suggestions for shore excursions or any tips you have please post for me oe e-mail! Thank you so much! By the way, We are flying out of Philadelphia 1/16/04 and we'll be on Deck 6 for the cruise! We are soo excited. Hope to talk to you all soon! :earsgirl:

[albiats]

Unfortunately, my DW and I had to cancel our cruise for this year, primarily for economic reasons.

We wish all of you a good sailing and we'll look for you next time.

Al Biats

[5DisneyDiggers]

Thumper7796 -
We're from the Pottsville, PA area. We're also on deck 6 (forward), and we have 2 inside cabins. We have 3 daughters (ages 11, 8, and 3). We've cruised before, but this is our first Disney cruise. So if you have any non-Disney cruise questions, we'd be glad to help. You can email us at clauser@evenlink.com.
Since there are 5 of us, and since the cost of the cruise is fairly substantial (esp. with 2 cabins!), we'll be going light on the excursions. We're thinking of hitting the beaches at every stop, and doing minigolf on Cozumel.

5DisneyDiggers

[mark & sandra]

Hello Thumper7796- Welcome aboard. It's our 1st cruise too. Our kids are 11 yr. old daughter, and 9 yr. old son. We are also on deck 6- rm 6106. Where are you staying the night before? We booked a room at the Radisson at the port for the evening before the cruise, I think there are a few others here doing it too.

albiats- so sorry about your cancellation, we'll toast one for you for your 34th anniversary.

[MNmom]

This is the official 2 month HAPPY DANCE:Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

It was so great to see some activity on our thread. I am sure everyone is starting to get excited. We have made our final payments and made some decisions about excursions. Now it is time to start getting organized:rolleyes:

AL-- SO sorry you won't be joining us AGAIN ( we were on the 1/19/01 Magic with you!!). Maybe next time!!! Hey Gretel!! Are you still with us on this one??

Welcome Thumper-- We are also on deck 6--6066 and 6064. I have two DDs (almost 11 and one that turned 7 yesterday!!). We should definitely have them meet on the ship.

I tried to get my DD10 to exchange emails with a few other kids going on this cruise. She sent out a few intro email but there wasn't much interest, probably because it was so far away. Maybe now we should get the kids to try and connect again.
( Her email is ......Tshap10@yahoo.com)

We have sailed twice in January and twice in Feb. and the weather has been fantastic every time.:cool:

We are also staying at the Radisson the night before and once I finish a big work project next week I will have some time to put together a list of all of us staying there!! It will be so great to meet everyone and put some faces to your names--screen names that is!!

Any ideas for a DIS meet on board??::yes::

[MNmom]

Hello.....where is everybody??!!!

I have just finished creating a list of everyone that has posted that they are going to be on this cruise!! It is very impressive and I can't wait to put some faces to your names!!

I will try to organize it a bit better and then email it to those of you that are interested. Please post or email (vicshap@aol.com)me your names, hometown, stateroom, early/late seating and the names and/or ages of your kids and anything else that might be interesting!! (Gretel did this last time for our cruise and it was great to have--thanks gretel!!) We have over 20 families so far!!!

I am also making a list of those of us staying at the Radisson. Please let me know if you are planning to stay there and would like to meet at the pool the night before!! Should be a great time.

I am getting sooooooo excited for this trip. The weather man just forecast 6-12 inches of snow for this weekend...ugh:(

[mark & sandra]

Hello again MNmom- We're here, we're here. I guess you don't realize how busy life is until you try and find time to answer posts or e-mail about your vacation. DH saw the new commercial for DCL and says that is exactly what he hopes to do on board and on shore, REST. As long as he doesn't mind me roaming the ship and shore with credit card in hand and without his voice of reason behind me, then it's o.k. with me. As I posted somewhere before it will be me Sandra, DH Mark, DD 11, and DS 9, stateroom 6106, early seating, staying at Radisson. We're from Long Island, N.Y. and would be interested in a meet by the pool and maybe one on ship for those not staying at the Radisson. Please e-mail me your list when completed. I'll try to get on my kids to start e-mailing again.

[MNmom]

Has anyone heard about the filming of a sitcom on our cruise?????

I just got an email from Dreams Unlimited that stated they have been informed from DCL that a nationally televised ABC sitcom will be shooting on the 1/17 Magic sailing:jester:

They go on to say that they will do their absolute best to keep the disruption to a minimum for their guests.....yada, yada.

We think this is very exciting and can't wait to find out what show it is and who will be on the ship with us!!! We are not ones to be inconvenienced by something like this and think it will just add to our adventure. The kids might even get a kick out of the production of a show like this. Should be very interesting to see.

[DizC1288]

I will also be cruising Jan. 17th.

2 Years ago we did the 7 day Eastern in January.....Gretal and family were with us! They were suppose to go with us again this year....but they are not....We will sure miss them!!!!

Anyways...it will be me (Cyndi) my DH was suppose to go but can't get out of work. So my friend and her DD will be traveling with us this time. Both of our DD's will be turning 16 during the cruise!

MNmom....I am from MN. as well! I did meet a few Disers with Gretal...but I didn't correspond with anyone.

Is there anyone that is going have older children?
We will be staying at the Radisson the night befor...let me know if there is a meet. We won't be getting there until later. Our flight comes in at 7:00pm

Looking forward to our cruise...hope to meet some of you *Ü*

Cyndi

[jmunutt]

I haven't been checking the boards often because of my hectic fall schedule, but now it's time to start thinking about my cruise! I've sent my info to MNMom, and I can't wait to see you all on the Magic. I have a DD, 10, and she'd love to email someone beforehand. Just send a pm or email jmunutt@aol.com.

Maybe we should try meeting on deck 7 aft sometime, that worked for us last time.

I'll be checking in later!

Debby:boat:

[Gretel]

Hey MnMom!!!

Sorry we won't be making the cruise this time. We had such a blast last time on the Golden Eagle Catamaran!!!! My girls still talk about it!

We bought a new house about a year ago, and financially just can't afford to go............we are hoping for Dec 2005 over xmas break.............My oldest will be a senior in high school then and I asked her if she wanted to go to Hawaii or on the Magic, and since she is not a good flyer she chose the seven day Western.

Everyone have a rip roaring time and I will be thinking about you!!!

Lisa aka Gretel

[disneynut02]

Hello,

My family will be on this cruise, our 2nd Disney cruise!! My DD will almost be (2 weeks shy) 13. My DS will be 11. We will also be staying at the Radison on the 16th. Same thought about the weather, we are coming from Maryland.

Please let me know if you are all getting together that night. It would be nice to meet some people before the cruise starts.

Janet princess:

DD:Pinkbounc

[MNmom]

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend:jester:

Gretel- I am soooo sorry you had to cancel this cruise. Congrats on the new house. We will miss you:(

DizC1288- Hello fellow MNan!! Looking forward to a little warm sunshine on my bones. My kids have been sledding all week but I just haven't gotten into it yet this year...maybe after the cruise!!

Disneynut02- We have about 8 families staying at the Radisson. We will definitely plan to meet at the pool the night before. It is a great area to hang out and meet!!

I have been collecting the names of everyone that has contacted me. We have quite a list --but keep the info coming!! I will take names and other info for about one more week before I put it all together and send it out. Please post or email me(vicshap@aol.com) your names, ages, where you are from, early or late seating, and if you are at the Radisson on the 16th.

Our family booked the 1020 Dolphin Encounter through DCL and are very excited to be going
:Pinkbounc Anyone else?? Actually, my DH and DD(10) are going on the Royal Swim through Dolphin Discovery and the rest of us are on the Encounter. We will then spend the day at Chakanaab. I can't wait!!

Any ideas for a meet on the ship??? I think deck 7 is a great idea but I don't know when:confused:

[klineyqueen]

Hi Thumper!!! We are flying out of Harrisburg with a layover in Philadelphia (it was actually cheaper than flying directly from Philadelphia - -who knew!!). We are leaving on the 15th.

We have all of our excursions scheduled. My husband is looking forward to the Jeep thing in Cozumel. I can't wait for Key West...oh hey...I can't wait for it all!!!!!

With the Holiday season upon us...it will be mid January before you can even say...DISNEY MAGIC!!!

[dskittles]

Just wanted to let you know that our family of 4 (DH & twin DD's almost 13) will be on the Jan 17th cruise. We are very excited as this is our 3rd Disney cruise and we feel so at home on the ships. I'm hoping that our girls will be allowed into stacks as they were bored in the 10-12 activities last year. If not - they love the ship and will find plenty to do. If anyone else has a daughter the same age let me know!:wave:

[julie junebug]

Hi Everyone!
We will be sailing with you as well! I haven't done much planning so far, but am starting to get excited. It will be myself, DH, DD(turning 9 on the cruise), and DS(3).

We're not planning many excursions because our 3 yr. old isn't old enough yet, and it doesn't look like he'll have the bathroom training down by the time we go in order to stay in the club.
I think we'll just do some beach activities. We might try Stingray City and take turns getting in the water and watching the kids on the boat. DH and I went snorkling and scuba diving there 10 years ago and it was fantastic. We'd love to do it again!

We sailed the same week two years ago on the Eastern, probably with many of you. I was just so overwhelmed with everything I didn't take time to correspond or get together with anyone. This time I'd like to attent a meet and get to know some friendly faces!

I'll send my info to MNmom (we're from Minnesota too!). I think we'll be at the airport Hyatt the night before since we arrive late.

I haven't been on the boards much lately, but it's very addictive so I will probably be learning lots of great tips from everyone!

Thanks!

[MNmom]

We got our dolphin swim times!!!

I am so excited that it all worked out. I am doing the DCL encounter with my DD7 and DS3 and my mother. My DH got the Royal Swim at noon with my DD10. We will all meet at Chakanaab after our adventure and spend the afternoon. My girls are soooo excited.

Anyone else doing this excursion in Cozumel???

I am still working on the list. IT seems I keep getting more and more each day. YEAH:Pinkbounc

Please let me know if you would like a copy OR if you would NOT like your information to be sent out via email. I will send copies to everyone that has contacted me with their emails so keep them coming. I will finish everything up by next week as we are taking the obligatory visit to the in-laws during winter break:rolleyes:

[Boomdocker]

Hi everyone!

My friend Allison (Allie) and I are on this cruise. This is our first time on Magic and we are very excited.

We have sailed Wonder twice and loved it.

We did WDW in 1997 for the holiday of a lifetime and we are so hooked. This will be our 5th trip stateside, we don't want to go anywhere else as we love everything Disney.

We are staying at AKL for 1 week before cruising. :boat:


Elaine & Allison. UK :jumping1:

[BAKAROMA]

We want a copy and you can publish all our info.

[dskittles]

We would like a copy too. I'm confused as to how this works - I'm not very computer savy - how do I e-mail MNMom? Can't wait for the cruise! I just made our WDW reservations for before the cruise and put on courtesy hold the Radisson Resort at the port for the night before. Hope all of you have a great Holiday season and look forward to seeing you on the Magic!

[MNmom]

Hi there!!

dskittles- Welcome fellow Minnesotan!!! I sure can't wait to get some sunshine on my bones!!! You can email me at Vicshap@aol.com or just post your information here and I will put it into the list. I didn't quite get if you are staying at the Radisson on the 16th or not. We have 8 families so far and should have quite a pool party!!

No plans for an onboard meet yet! I have heard that Deck 7 is a great place but have no idea about when. :crazy:

We are getting closer.......:Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

[dskittles]

Thanks for your reply MNMom - I usually just read everyone elses posts - so I'm not sure how all this works. We are staying at the All Star Movies (hopefully in the Mighty Ducks as my girls play hockey and love that movie!) the week before the cruise and then the night before (Jan 16th) I have a courtesy hold on 2 different hotels. We have always stayed at the Holiday Inn on Cocoa Beach past cruises but now I would love to meet all of you at the Radisson. My husband is in Germany until December 12th so I just blocked them both thinking that we'll prob go with the Radisson. On the cruise we are in room 7003. If there is any other info I should be including let me know. Everyone sounds so nice can't wait to meet some of you.

Take care:wave:

[MNmom]

We got our documents today:Pinkbounc :bounce:

I was totally not expecting them this soon but there they were inside my screen door when I got home from work!!

My kids are starting to get excited now!!! The 10 inches of snow we got yesterday sure made us think about Castaway Cay!!!

Won't be long now:wave:

[DizC1288]

NO FAIR.....I am just down the road from you....and I didn't get mine yet!!!! I am glad you got your docs already....please bring me mine *Ü*

Cyndi

[BAKAROMA]

I can't believe you got your docs!!!!!!!!!!!! How did they come? Did you book through DCL? What an incredible milestone.

[BAKAROMA]

I thought I had better check out the scene on our front porh and what do you know if I didn't find OUR CRUISE DOCS!!!!!! I am sure I'll have questions as I work through them.

Keith

[Freelion]

I just got a call from my AAA travel agent this afternoon saying ours had arrived in her office and we could stop by and pick them up. I'm very surprised that they are here so early also (but pleased!). I plan to go get them tomorrow afternoon.

Bakaroma, just wanted to let you know my dd got your dd's email, but has been sick this week with an intestinal bug. She plans to write back as soon as she's feeling better.

Has anyone heard any more about the ABC show filiming on our cruise? I did some brief searching on the internet yesterday hoping for a rumor or hint or anything, but no luck.

:earsgirl: :earsboy: :Pinkbounc

[julie junebug]

:hyper: :hyper: We received our documents this week too! Several large boxes were delivered from UPS for our business, and mixed in with them was this small one from Disney Cruise Line! I wasn't even thinking they would arrive this soon, but it was exciting. We reserved through Dreams Unlimited. We used them last time (2 years ago) and the price of our cruise went down two times during our reservation period last time. No such luck this time, but that's OK. We're just excited to be going!

[mark & sandra]

Well were almost there. I expect MNMom to toast the countdown. We are arriving a day early to hedge against a winter storm. We plan to rent a car from MCO and visit Universal for the day and renew our annual passes for 99.00, then drive over to the Radisson at the port. How do some of you plan on returning to the airport after the cruise? Does anyone share rides back to the airport? What are some ways those that have cruised before returned to MCO? How about a lime green DIS-bus to transport us to and from airport?

[Freelion]

Our kids have 1/26 off from school as well as 1/19 so we're not flying home until the 26th. We're going to rent two cars (there are two familes in our party) and our friends will go visit relatives in Orlando and we're planning to head to WDW. We're picking up the cars at Budget near the port. How many are in your party? Maybe we could give you a lift to the airport??

Not sure where we'll stay at WDW yet or which parks we'll see. My DH and I have been to WDW several times but my DD has not been there yet. Any recommedations on WDW hotels, sights or non WDW stuff??

[Freelion]

I'm still curious about the ABC sitcom that will be filming on our cruise. I checked out the ABC website and according to it, they currently have 10 sitcoms on their schedule. They are:

8 Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter
According to Jim
George Lopez
Hope & Faith
I'm With Her
It's All Relative
Less Than Perfect
Life with Bonnie
Married to the Kellys
My Wife & Kids

I haven't really watched any of these so I'm completely clueless. Does anyone have any guesses as to which one it will be?

[disneynut02]

Since we are staying at the Radisson at the Port the night before and we will be bringing our luggage with us. Last time we took the Disney Bus and we didn't get our luggage in our room until around 5:30. Please tell me that they don't take it from us and then we have to wait again.

Also, my friends who are also going on the cruise got their documents on Thursday. I still don't have mine yet.

We are soooo excited!! I wish the next month would be over and the 7 days in Paradise would take a month to end!!

Our kids also do not have school on the 26th, so we are spending 2 nights at WL and 3 days in the Parks!! :Pinkbounc :earsgirl:

Janet

[BAKAROMA]

I read several times it will be According to Jim with Jim Belushi. Since then we have watched the show a few times and find it to be at lease clean and funny. I think part of the reason people believe it to be According to Jim is because the kids have a lot of Disney items as props in the show.

[MNmom]

This is my official 1month Happy Dance:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :bounce: :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

I can't believe it is coming so quickly!!

I have also heard it is According to Jim with Jim B. !! Should be fun to see some of the stars.:jester:

I have finished the list of names/where from/kids ages/ deck/ seating list. If anyone else would like me to send them a copy please let me know. I got info from a few people but don't have email addresses. If you were expecting a copy and didn't get one, you were one of these people.Just let me know your email address or I could fax it or send it in the mail. Just let me know!! I am sure there will be a few revisions but we sure have a great group going on this cruise.

[disneynut02]

I had a phone call last night from Disney Weddings, they wanted us to know that According to Jim would be taping on the cruise. I think it is exciting, I just hope that it won't be a hassle.

My kids think this means that Jim is coming to the Vow Renewal, I think that would be great. We have watched the show every week since it started. I know back to reality...I have to get ready for work!!

Not much longer to wait!!

:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

Janet

[mark & sandra]

hooray, horray, our Docs arrived today; or is it hiho hiho its off to cruise we go. Either way I guess this means that we're really going.

MNMom- Did you send out that info yet, because I haven't gotten any thing. Hope all is well and look forward to meeting all of you on our cruise

[Degaf]

OK, so when do you start worrying about not receiving the cruise docs? 25 days before cruise and niether myself who booked thru DVC or my parents who I booked through DU have received ours?

[DizC1288]

I haven't received our docs either.....I need them for a Christmas present for my daughter and her friend!!!!

Okay....I am panicking....I have 2 days left to get them *Ü*

I am patiently waiting...can you tell??????

hope they come soon
Cyndi

[BAKAROMA]

We booked a year ago DCL and got our docs a week ago. How long ago did you book?

[DizC1288]

I booked this cruise in January 2003. I have used DU the past 2 cruises and always got our doc. earlier in December. This trip I went with a different travel company....that others on this board have used....but the docs are not here yet......1 more day to go...hopefully then will arrive today....I will let you know *Ü*

Cyndi

[BAKAROMA]

Cyndi,

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kind of a bummer not to have them if they don't show in time. Can you all believe it is only 3weeks (plus 3 days)? I just want heat a CC and my trip will be complete.

[mark & sandra]

We booked with All Seasons Travel and were told that they are late in sending out docs, we did receive them on this past Fri. Just a note, they were left by my door in a Fedex box, no one had signed for them, seems strange that important papers would be left in that manner for anyone to have access to and for me not to be alerted to look for a package. I think you should contact your TA and ask if your docs are in or if they've been sent.

[DizC1288]

I also, booked with All Seasons Travel. I had called there last Friday and they said it was too early to send them out....I had told her that we have always gotten them in plenty of time for Christmas in the past with other TA~DU. She went and checked and said~OOPS they were fed exed on Thursday. Well, as tonight 12-23 I have not received them. I did call today and asked for a tracking number so I could see where they are......and he told me they were mailed for a 2 day delivery, that they would come in with the reg. mail...but with the holiday, give it a extra day. I told him....it has already been extra days if it were mailed on Thursday!

So, I don't know who to believe...if they were really mailed or not! I will see if they come tomarrow...and I am going to call them again tomarrow!

Mark....I am glad you got your docs!!!

It is getting so close...I can't wait to be in the warmth of Florida!!!!

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas *Ü*
Cyndi

[mark & sandra]

When we called last week we too were told that they would be mailed out on Thur. Yours should have also arrived by now. Did you receive a tracking # ? If not call and get one and call Fed Ex yourself to track your package. As for the extra day nonsense, 2 day is still 2 day, your package is too late to be considered late due to holiday volume. Hope you resolve this for Christmas.

[DizC1288]

Okay, today is SAT 12-27-03~~We finally recieved our documents.

They have a postal stamp on them...12/18/03 from Florida and they were sent FED EX....but they had the wrong zip code on them...so this must be why they took so long to get them!!!

I know they have my correct zipcode since they have sent me other stuff. I can't believe they wrote it wrong on the package!!!

Atleast I have them in my hand....we are all excited about the trip!

3 weeks today and we leave *Ü*

thanks for listening to me complaining....hope to meet you guys!

[Robert and Kelley]

The TV show is definately According to Jim. We just got a newsletter yesterday. It is for a 2 part episonde airing the end of Feb and first of March. I guess the family gets selected for a DCL commercial but they later replace Jim with an actor.

[BAKAROMA]

Robert and Kelley, We will all get that newsletter or do you belong to some group that sends it to you? I am so curious about the impact the show will have on us??

[Robert and Kelley]

Its a newsletter that comes with the billing for the Disney Credit Card (not the Visa)

[BAKAROMA]

We will be going to chankanaab and there are five of us. Anyone want to share a taxi van or let one of us slide in with you?

[mark & sandra]

For any late planners like me or for those who might think of changing their plans, I just booked a car rental from Orlando Airport to the Port from Budget for a full size 1 way 1 day rental for 26.90 all fees and taxes included and for the return full size 1 day 1 way rental 44.66 including all fees and taxes.

Bakaroma- Do you know how many fit in the taxi van and what the rate is? We haven't planned our day yet and thought of going to the chakanaab park also, btw, there's 4 of us.

[mickeymom30]

we are going on this sailing also. Myself, husband and 2 girls age 4 and 6. Anyone else have kids this age. See you soon. What does it mean when someone said there will be a meeting on board?princess:

[jmunutt]

What does it mean when someone said there will be a meeting on board?


People from the DIS boards usually try to meet onboard sometime during the cruise. We have discussed meeting, but have not set a time or a place. The secret deck on 7 aft has been discussed, but no time has been set. A day at sea is nice, as is during the sail away party. We need to decide soon, the time is drawing near!

Also, don't forget to have your lime green paint swatch or ribbon somewhere visible in the terminal, you might just meet someone before you board!

Debby:bounce:

[BAKAROMA]

We have dd's 5 (her 5th birthday istoday so she is barely five), 6, and 8. Can't wait to meet fellow Disers.

[KevnLisa]

We'll be joining you on the 1/17 Magic. Looking forward to meeting y'all! Also looking for friends for our DSs, one recently turned 7 and another soon to turn 9, since they'll be in separate clubs. Won't be long!

KevnLisa

[BAKAROMA]

OK it is time to start planning a meet! I think after the sail away may be a time freest of conflicts what do all of you think? Sally says taxi vans hold ten to twelve. If the weather is pretty warm in Cozumel my wife is lobbying for Paradise beach anyone want to share? What I would really like to do is golf, shop back to the ship go get free lunch on board, then get the taxi van back to the beach for about five hours any tkaers for that with a shared ride?

[FRED INTERTHAL]

[Boomdocker]

Hello everyone :wave:

Not long to go now!! My friend, Allie and I are spending a week at the AKL before joinging this cruise.

:jumping1: We are sooooo excited!!! :jumping1:

[klineyqueen]

The wait is KILLING ME!!!!!!

[hobart]

We're going too!

Me, my DH, my DS (7) and my DD (10)

Can't wait!!!

[MNmom]

I'm back:wave:

WOW! You go out of town for a while and a ton of families join our cruise list. That is fantastic!! We are going to have a great week:sunny:

hobart- I have a DD(10) too!! She has been emailing a few kids going on this cruise and would love to connect with your DD too!! I think it will help them feel comfortable if they have a connection with a few kids in the clubs. You can email me at vicshap@aol.com if your DD is interested and I will forward it to my DD.

BAKAROMA- The DIS meet on the ship sounds great. How much time is there between the sail away party and the mandatory emergency drill? Are you still planning on Chakanaab? My DH and DD(10) will be taking a taxi over there around 1030. If you are still interested in sharing a cab, we could work something out.

We spent most of the day cleaning out closets and trying on shorts and swim suits:eek: The kids are 90% packed with all of their dinner clothes, shorts and Ts, swimwear and sweatshirts all squished in ziplock bags. I LOVE THOSE THINGS!!!

Considering the high today was around 5 degrees, it wasn't such a bad day!!!!

[mark & sandra]

Hello All- We're almost there!
MNMom did you send out your list of people yet? I didn't get anything yet and was wondering. Since this is our first trip, we seem to be going with the flow, does anyone recommend the Chankanaab Park for the day? Is a taxi the best way to go? All info is welcomed. Sandra

[awatt]

I'm so excited its all I can think about!

The Watt family will be on the 1/17 Magic-That's me,DH and DD 4 and 6. Look forward to seeing you there!:bounce:

[BAKAROMA]

Which is first sail away or boat drill? I thought the drill was. If the drill is first I though after the sail away would work.

[MNmom]

I did some searching and I think we are OK with the DIS meet after the sailaway party. The Emergency Drill is at 4pm and the Sailaway party at 4:30.

I have been having a trouble finding the current show schedule too. With the addition of Golden Mickeys, I can't seem to figure it out. We are trying to find the best night for Palo. Any suggestions??

I have heard great things about Chankanaab Park and we are planning to do the dolphin encounter and then spend the rest of the afternoon there. There is a website my DD(10) found at http://www.cozumelparks.com.mx/chankanaab/nuevo.htm SHe speaks fluent spanish and had to translate most of it for me but it has some great pictures and a map.

I can't wait!!!:sunny:

[BAKAROMA]

We will be on our way in ten days!!!!! The Chankanaab Park has an English Language icon to click so you won't have to have an interpreter. I like after the sail away party. Someone posted the current show schedule and I belive it to be accurate. Remember your lime green. I got a lime fanny pack and two water wallets from the DIS store. I also have a long roll of plastic flagging to tie on to anything. Can't wait to see you all. It looks like we have a lot of Minnesota folks running from the cold.

[BAKAROMA]

Wel we have two itinerary's we are considering in Coz and I am looking for any advice or tag-a-longs.
Plan A
Sally's plan "I would start out at minigolf, then shop you way back to the waterfront, grab a cab to Dzul Ha for snorkeling and then spend the afternoon at Paradise Beach." Depending on the amount of snorkeling we do in Cayman we may opt for Paradise without Dzul Ha. We are also planning to get to the waterfront to reboard the ship for lunch.

Plan B

Chankanaab till threeish then minigolf and back to the boat for dinner (we have ealy seating).

Any advice?

[mark & sandra]

Hello Fellow Cruisers
I'm sitting here at just past 11 pm, while Sandy is freaking out about having to gather things for the cruise. Earlier she made the kids try on all the clothes she bought over the past year for them to wear on the cruise, of course my daughter hated everything and now wants to go cruise wear shopping, my son couldn't care less as long as he can wear his baggie shorts alot. There a cold front coming in tonight and temps are going down to 5 degrees tonight and its supposed to stay with us for a few days. I've spent the better park of the past 8 months lurking here and following Sandy's ranting about the cruise and it's starting to get to me too. I just read the entire thread and I guess its finally here. Alot of you also seem to be coming from some northern climates and I'll bet you're all just as anxious to get to some warmer weather. It seems that my kids did not keep in contact with the few other kids that they started e-mailing, like everything else they promise to keep up with. Is there a time set for a meet at the Radisson yet? What about onboard? We are first time cruisers so please give a place easily found. Believe it or not now Sandy is crying wondering if we should go on the cruise and if the kids will be safe, and if it will be safe in the water at the ports, etc... Did anyone else ever get cruise jitters?

[mickeymom30]

Hi Sandy and Mark,
This is our third Disney Cruise. We have dd' 4 and 6. We never had a safety concern while on board. Everyone is checked before getting on and all the bags go through some type of screening. I am sure security will even be tighter seeing that According to Jim will be filming!! I don't remember the age of your children but the clubs run a tight ship also. I never had a concern leaving my children there. I always felt confident they were well taken care of and I also new by the number of times that my pager went off if the kids ever wanted me they do not hesitate to call you. The first few times I was paged by the time I got there the kids were into something new and then did not want to leave! Both trips were 4 night vacation and we have always had such and outstanding time we opted for the 7 night this year and are already planning for next year. Stop worrying and enjoy yourself! We are from CT and like you can't wait to get out of the cold. Let me know if you have any other questions. See you in 9 days!princess:

[julie junebug]

Hi Mark and Sandy!

Don't worry, the security will be fine and I think you'll feel better once you get there and see what it's really like. The kids will be fine in the club because their security is very good. On our previous trip, we were paged for our daughter, and since I'd never had a pager I kept wondering what the "strange noise" in our cabin was! They paged me again and by the time I figured out what it was, we raced to the club only to find that everything was fine and she wanted to stay longer!

This is a time of lots of anxiety, when all the planning we've done is finally coming to an end and it's really time to go. Sometimes we start second guessing ourselves at the last minute because we want everything to be just right, and see all the best sights, wear the right clothes, and have the best time possible. Even if you stay on the ship the entire time and your kids wear the same clothes every day, you'll have a wonderful vacation!

Having said that, I've been shopping for clothes like crazy the past few days, re-thinking our excursion choices, worrying about a snowstorm delaying our trip, and having general anxiety about all the details! I'm the planner and packer in our family, so I feel overwhelmed most times before we leave on a trip. I want it to go well because I've invested so much time and energy into the planning and am afraid I've forgotten something or made the wrong choices.

So I understand your anxiety and I think all the details are getting to you, but you really don't have to worry about security.
The kids will be fine too. My daughter didn't spend to much time in the club before and was with us most of the time and we had a really fun time together as a family. She will turn 9 on the trip this time, and I think she's looking forward to making some friends and spending more time in the club (now that she's more "mature"). She says she wants to eat with the kids from the club at the buffet every night. We might not see as much of her this time!

Also, you will have lots of support from all the members on this board, so try and relax and have fun. We hope to meet you on board!

[jmunutt]

MNMom,

I was looking through the thread and saw that you are booked for the 11:15 Captain Marvin's stingray city tour. We are too! It should be a blast. I can't wait for Friday when we leave!

Debby:bounce:

[MNmom]

Hi Debby-
That is sooooo great:Pinkbounc :bounce:

My DH and I were on the same trip last Feb. and loved it so much we wanted to take the kids. I hope they like it as much as we did. Right now they are a little freaked out about the rays....my mother is the worst. She will probably not even get in the water:rolleyes: My DD(10) is a pretty good snorkeler (sp?) so I hope she really likes this excursion too!!

DIS Meets!!

Radisson- My group of 10 is planning to hang out around the pool for most of the later afternoon with a break for dinner. Then we are planning to come back to the pool for the "official" meet around 7:30. There are a few families that aren't checking in until 7-8pm so we thought we would have the official meet a little later. But anyone who wants to find us we will be there from about 4pm on. Let's just hope for some warm weather or else we will ALL be in the hot tub;)

Magic- I think the decision was to meet up after the Sailaway Party. I'm not sure where?? Anybody?

Don't forget your lime green ribbon or swatches. My DDs wrote our names on the Home Depot paint swatches and had them laminated at school. We will use them for our carry-ons, they are very cute!!!

Mark and Sandra- Pre cruise worries are very common. I find myself second guessing all of my reservations and plans. I also find myself on these boards more in the pre cruise days. I just think about it all too much!! We try to make all of the planning and packing fun but sometimes it does get overwhelming. The only thing that seems to make me feel better is planning the NEXT vacation:teeth:

[DizC1288]

Our flight doesn't get in until 7:30pm....then I think we are going to head over to Downtown Disney (my DD needs her carmel apple first) before heading over to the Radisson.
I will look for anyone at the pool area when we get there.
We will be on the 10:30 shuttle to the port in the morning (already reserved)

I can't wait....this MN weather has just been way too cold!!!!

Cyndi

ONE WEEK HAPPY DANCE:Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

THe reports from this past Western cruise had fantastic weather!! Best day at Castaway Cay in 6 weeks!!

[mark & sandra]

Has anyone been chcking the weather for our cruise? Key West should be about 75 and cozumel about 82. Here on Long Island it's 9 degrees with a wind chill of - 15. I could enjoy a 97 degree change in the weather!! Hows the weather for all of you?

[BAKAROMA]

Yes. weather.com and I have seen a lot of each other. I have the same forecsts. I am still nervous about cc. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's get's a hard place and time for a meet.

[MNmom]

Wow! Found this thread on page 2!! Everyone must be busy packing:confused:

I have been reading the past trip reports and it sure sounds like they had a great time. I am getting soooooo excited.

I also checked out weather.com and it looks like 60s for Friday at the Radisson:( That may be a little cold for the pool. You may have to look for us in the hot tub or at the bar;) I have also seen rain predicted for Key West:mad: Either way you may find us at the bar:crazy: We are going to have a great week no matter what happens 'cuz we are on the Magic:earsboy:

[dkgreen]

I called the toll-free 800 number yesterday to find out the movies on the Magic next week when ALL OF US are on the cruise. I was told the following movies (subject to change):

Chicago.....................................Lizzie McGuire
Spy Kids 3D: Game Over...............Finding Nemo
Pirates of the Caribbean...............Freaky Friday
Cold Creek Manor........................Under the Tuscan Sun
Veronica Guerin..........................Brother Bear
Haunted Mansion........................Calendar Girls

Hmmmmm There’s a couple I may want to see if I’m not too busy enjoying the pool :cool: or sun :sunny:


Just checking, the "button/ribbon" is lime green ::yes::, correct??

THANKS,
Keith

[Freelion]

Thanks for posting the information about the shows. Several look interesting to us. It's been so long since I've been to a movie, I can't remember the last time. I've been meaning to post but have been overwhelmed here with the holidays, work, the flu (everyone here got it--both the intestinal and respiratory types), trying to pack for the cruise and yesterday there was a main water break in front of our house so the city is out there right now trying to fix it and since I can't do laundry I had 5 minutes to sit down and read the boards and post.

Magic, take me away!:crazy:

For those of you staying at the Radisson the night before, we'll be there too. There are 7 of us, but our flight doesn't get into Orlando until about 6:30. So I guess it will be close to 8 or so before we arrive. We'll look for folks around the pool area. I got our green mickeys last week and was preparing name and luggage tags when the 3 girls decided to help decorate them. The next thing I knew they had completely crayoned over them with purple, orange and some shade of hot pink. If I don't get a chance to drop by Home Depot before Friday, we'll be the ones at the pool with the psychedelic mickeys!:jumping1:

[Freelion]

I second Bakaroma's request to get a definite time and place for the Dis meet on the ship.

MNMom, you said you did some research and found that the emergency drill is scheduled for 4 pm and the sailaway party at 4:30. Should we meet as soon as the sailaway party is over? Would that be around 4:45 pm or 5:00? I'd suggest a meeting place but as this is our first cruise, I'm clueless. Any ideas anyone?

Also, now that I've had some time to go back and read the boards I wanted to let MnMom and JMNutt know that our families are also scheduled for the 11:15 Stingray Tour with Capt. Marvin. Is anyone else signed up for that one? We'll have 3 girls with us, ages 6,6 and 3.

I am getting so excited!:cool1:

[mark & sandra]

Does someone have a # for Capt. Marvins? How about our onboard meet, anyone have any ideas for a location and time. The Weather channel is calling for some wintery weather for the next few days, I hope everyone has planned some extra time for delays. Hope to see you all soon, safe travels to everyone.

[Freelion]

Captain Marvin's has a toll free # 1-866-978-0022 which is staffed Monday thru Friday from 10 am to 3 pm EST. I called last week to make our reservations and the operator was very courteous, friendly and informative. They also have a web site at www.captainmarvins.com

[MickeyMagic]

Gretel, MNMom, albiats, and jmunutt and all other 1-17-04 cruisers -- Have a great cruise!!

Wish we could join you....it would be fun to see some of the 1-19-02 cruise gang again! :wave:

We are doing the Eastern again during Spring Break 3-20-04. :sunny:

[smacky1]

This is my first time on this board. My husband and I will be on the 1/17/04 cruise. This is our 3rd Disney Cruise and we cant wait. We have no kids....yet. Any other couples out there with out kids on this cruise?

[jdmom]

Hi, Freelion, we are with Captain Marvin 11:15, Have 2 girls, 6 and 3!

[MNmom]

I just got home from work and now I am on VACATION:jester:

Looks like we have quite a group going on Capt. Marvins at 11:15. It will be all DISers and a great group!! If I figure right I think we have about 30 people on this trip!!

Freelion- we will look for you at the Radisson too!! We have 2 DD(10 and 7) and DS3. Look for us in the hot tub!!!:teeth:

I am still at a loss for the DIS Meet:confused: I asked on the general board where and when others met for their meets. They recommended not having a meet outside as it is windy and could rain and the first day is too crazy to try to get everyone together. I guess I don't want to set the time and place and then have it not work out for our schedule. WHat about the first day at sea??? Someone else suggested 1pm was a good time to meet. WHat do you think? Help...someone make a decision:crazy:

MickeyMagic-- I can't believe it was 2 years ago. Thanks for your thoughts and well wishes. We will miss you this year!!

smacky1-- Welcome to the 1/17 group. I was on the Wonder last year without kids and had a fantastic time.

I better finish my packing:rolleyes:

[mark & sandra]

I second the idea for the onboard Dis meet to be on the first day at sea. This way us newbies can get a feel for the ship and maybe bump into a couple of our fellow Disers first and then be pleasantly surprised to find out we are fellow Dis board members. I guess picking someplace away from bad weather is a good idea and maybe someplace where they serve drinks for us suffering from PVS ( pre- vacation syndrone), but someplace that allows kids so that they too can meet some friends.

We also are going on the Capt. Marvins excursion.

The weather here is supposed to bottom out at a whopping wind chill of -25, Do you have any idea how good 80+ degree temps sound!!! Even the temps at the Port of mid 70's sound downright tropical.

Well I've finished packing, finally. Yeah Right! I'm looking over my lists and realizing that I'm not finished yet. I hope I don't forget anything, but then again I hope I don't overpack things we might still need. If you see a group boarding in their robes and pajamas you'll know it's me and what I did!

How did you find out the movies? I hope they don't change, Pirates of the Caribbean is a great movie! I would love to see it again. Finding Nemo too.

[BAKAROMA]

We are doing Marvins half day from 10-1. And the place for the meet is..........

[Freelion]

Here's a suggestion for a DIS meet up. How about 5:15 pm in the Promenade lounge on Deck 3?

According to Passporter's Guide, the sail away party usually begins between 4:30 and 4:45 pm and lasts about 1/2 an hour. The book also describes the Promenade lounge as the most family friendly on board.

Also, according to Jennifer & Dave's latest newsletter, it was remodeled during drydock and now has better traffic flow and a new look. It is located between Lumiere's and Parrot Cay and only one deck away from Animator's Palate...convenient for those with early dining.

[BAKAROMA]

I second the motion!

[azreial]

ok so I am the only one who hasn't even thought about packing?

I am so bad, we are leaving the house at 3:30AM tomorrow and I still haven't dug DS' summer clothes out :earseek: I did collect his swim trunks and formal night outfit, so I have the important things ;) there's just something so cute about little guys in ties

I'm off to start collecting things and trying to find a suitcase.... I'll proably be running around town at midnight begging people for a suitcase. Last year I was packed a week before we we're leaving, oh well!


Azreial

[MNmom]

5:15 at the Promanade Lounge sounds great. It may have to be a quick meet-and-greet because we have early dinner, but it will be great to meet all of you. Don't forget your LIME GREEN ribbon or swatch:sunny:

See some of you tomorrow and the rest of you on Sat:Pinkbounc :bounce:

[Carbomommy]

I don't know about my hubby, but Me (Ranchdavis) will be there!

Linda Davis
Colorado

[Freelion]

We're leaving at noon today.

Just wanted to wish everyone a safe journey.


See you on the Magic!:cool1:

[mark & sandra]

I hope everyone that was on our cruise had a great time and by now the floor has stopped swaying. Did anyone else rebook again? Are any of those who had to cancel going to rebook the same cruise for next year?
