Right now we were having our first Sailaway Party with all our Disfriends in May. Remember the blowing bubble machine Jeff brought?

Anyway, Ship of Fools-have a great time bringing the Magic home safely, eat plenty of shrimp for me and enjoy your day long deck bbq party on Panama Canal day!

Hi everyone! Finally got on the wireless. It works pretty well. Even on deck 6 in our stateroom we got a low signal strength. Says excellent up here by Quiet Cove. Very hard to take pictures today. Everyone was hugging me! We got a blanket for our CC gift, plus some fruit from Dreams Unlimited (Thanks!!!!). We have met so many DISers, but it's surprising how many more we have yet to meet! We know it's gonna be a lot of fun!! I'll take lots of pictures at the sailaway and upload them shortly. Rachel is telling us about the safety drill now, so I should get running. Will post again soon!!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. We're having a great time so far and from the looks of it, it will be a great cruise!!!

Hi everyone. Today is our first beautiful day at sea! We are getting ready for Palo brunch this morning and then a DIS meet in Rockin’ Bar D. They even have the meet on the Navigator. We’re eating dinner with Mom2Belle&PeterPan and DenverVal. The linked late diners are seated in tables starting right next to us. We skipped the welcome aboard show. We were just so tired yesterday. I’m typing this in advance of going online and seeing what everyone is saying because of the time involved with typing. Don’t want to use up my package too quick.

Movies for the first week are Pooh’s Heffalump Movie, Ice Princess, Snow White, The Incredibles, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Pacified, Peter Pan, Monster in Law, National Treasure, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, A Lot Like Love, Finding Nemo, Guess Who, Dark Water, Herbie Fully Loaded, Racing Stripes, Sky High and Fever Pitch.

Today we also have the Cabin Tour. We’ll be looking at all but Cat 2.

For Entertainment, we have been told we will have Art Imitating Art and Acrobatic Adventure, the Magic and Illusion of Mike Super, The Golden Mickeys, Los Caporales Festival Folklorico, Who Wants to be a Mouseketeer (with Joey Fatone), Ken Block, Dangerous Comedy of Wilde & Haines, Movie Night, Twice Charmed, Mark Curry with Kermit the Frog and Friends, Disney Dreams and Remember the Magic. There will be a Murder Mystery, Mexicali-frajelistic deck party, Pirates IN the Caribbean.

We are only allowed one reservation at Palo for each type of meal and they are cross referencing all cabin numbers. So if you are a guest of someones, you won’t be able to go on your own.

I didn’t get great pictures yesterday, so I'm not wasting time to post them now. The others posted were better.

As for the wireless, we have our own laptop. Today we could not get access in our room, probably was reflection off the terminal yesterday. I just went down to deck 5 in the atrium today. Not a problem with the speed at all.

How many kids are aboard and are they mostly preschoolers? I know most schools are back . We are still out but my kids keep seeing on the weather channel how many states are back? We go back Sept 12, this would have been perfect for us, but husband afraid of length of cruise. I would have loved it :love:

Update from the Ship...

and Tracy Says She will post about the Surprise for the kids... :Pinkbounc


Tracy

What was the surprise for the kids????

and have they said anything about a concert onboard????

I think Mark Curry is so funny (if it's the same Mark Curry from Hangin' with Mr. Cooper fame). A good replacement for Bob Saget...who is currently here in town with his show and the ad actually says "this is an adult show...not suitable for younger audiences"!!!!!!!

Great pics GG!! Thanks for posting them!! We stationed ourselves down by the helipad and shot some video and still photos from there, don't know if I have the time or computer ability to post them :sad2:

Met two very nice families who sailed on the first Mexico cruise after we delivered the Magic to Southern CA and had a wonderful time swapping stories waiting for the Magic to cast off!!! Did anyone else see the cool GOOD LUCK Rainbow Cast in front of the ship by the fire boat?


The Magic was so beautiful and majestic as she sailed by!!!

I tried to get images of Mickey waving goodbye to us, but they did not come out.

Thanks to the LAFD for leading the Magic out to Sea!!

All the families in our group are lining up now for the 2007 Alaska :boat:

Enjoy every moment....and looking forward to your photos and stories!

Bringing the Magic Home - Hope you all have an enjoyable cruise, we were just on the 7/30 Magic cruise and met the most awesome people on these boards. We hope you have as great a time as we did. We spent the week together and our planning to sail together again in 2007. Also, rumors when we were onboard were of a Mediterranean cruise in 2007 (or maybe Alaska), please keep us posted if anyone hears anything. Again, may you have beautiful, sunny weather and calm seas on your journey home. Enjoy!!!

Bring home the MAGIC....
If anyone sees DARLENE .. "SANDYGIRL" or GINNY "WINNYIS" from the DIS boards... tell them DOREEN back home tells them hello and I wish I was with them.. I was with them both last yearin August during Hurricaine Frances DCL cruise and we will sail again next AUGUST on a DOUBLE DIP to Castaway Cay...

It sounds like the party has just started and DIS'ers are ruling the ship if they got their name in the NAVIGATOR too!! WTG :goodvibes

Hi everyone. What happened to my camera? I still haven’t taken many pictures LOL. We had a very busy day today. Brunch in the morning, straight from brunch to the DISmeet, straight from there to the cabin tour. We got to see the Walt Suite, cat 2-11, including a sideways cabin, secret porthole room and a handicapped room. The seas have not been too bad at all. Hurricane Hilary is going to miss us, but we might have some adverse weather in Cabo. We are missing the show because we were up talking at the pool too much. Everywhere you go you know someone! It’s so much fun!

As for the pins, we have an order sheet in our room. We can order one set per guest.

Still haven’t met all the DISers. We will meet many more at the wine tasting on Tuesday. How come my room has been deemed the party room? I guess we’re having a party here one night. Our cabin steward is Donovan. He is the best! I can’t remember who our waitstaff is (too tired last night!). But we did have Sasha from Croatia at Palo this morning. I told him I heard he was the Croatian Sensation. He blushed!

One of these days I’ll take pictures, ok :)

TOP TEN WAYS THE AUGUST REPO CRUISE IS WORKING OUT TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THE MAY REPO CRUISE

as of 8/21/05

10. Pins for everybody!
9. They’re so busy they don’t have time to post photos from their own laptops.
8. Mazatlan, where’s that?
7. Maybe the milk onboard won’t go bad by September 1st.
6. Who’s running bingo?
5. It’s a long way to Castaway Cay.
4. Miraflores, Pedro Miguel, Gatun
3. The letters “DIS” appear in the Navigator without being followed by “embarkation”
2. 400 more children.
1. No sign of Bob Saget.

Bstsuda, WOW! I didn't expect Don to be on the ship right now. We have seen him on both of our cruises. We were in 7010 on the first & around the corner in 7503 on the last. The kids always had to go say hello to him. He is such a kind person! Did he happen to mention if he is a daddy yet? He just found out on the last day of our 12/4/04 cruise that they were expecting.

Bstsuda, WOW! I didn't expect Don to be on the ship right now. We have seen him on both of our cruises. We were in 7010 on the first & around the corner in 7503 on the last. The kids always had to go say hello to him. He is such a kind person! Did he happen to mention if he is a daddy yet? He just found out on the last day of our 12/4/04 cruise that they were expecting.
hi Lisa - yes he is a terrific guy, but no he didn't mention the baby....oh i wish i had known they were expecting....i sure would have found out...

howdy all, enjoy the leisurely trip back home, we'll be waiting in cocoa beach for you to get back so we can board and take her back on her regular schedule. if any of you is in 7050, give us a report on the room, that's where we are staying.

hoping that hillary will blow on out in the pacific and leave ya'll alone, sounds like she is moving out pretty fast.

let me know what time youare due back to pc, maybe i'll get myself up and try to see you come by.

Great Video GoofyGuy777, thanks!!!

If anyone runs into JiminyC_fan (Sandy) tell her that her daughter says hi and that I miss her already. My mom and dad had a very rough start to the cruise so I hope everything got settled. Also if you run into any of the DisneyDudettes and/or Denine tell them that Heidi says hi and to tell them to tell my parents hi. Thanks.

The ship as it is leaving San Pedro


Hey thanks for the AWESOME photos Mary Jo, especially of the ship as it left the breakwater!! How did you guys get from point A to point B so fast??

Was that banner hanging from Deck 9 or 10 a Dis Board Banner?, I did not notice it as the ship sailed by our vantage point!!

As you all may have heard the Magic has been rerouted to Manzanillo due to 15 ft waves in Cabo. Our captiain decided that with the tendering it would be too dangerous to stop. Therefore we are on another sea day and will hit Manzanillo Tuesday where we get to dock (Yeah!). Captian Tom has assured us that as we proceed further south we will smaller and smaller waves/swells. Anyway, just wanted to write since I hadn't seen anything yet. Quite possible might be something on another thread but haven't heard of any injuries although the ship was rocking and rolling from the night before. For those of you back there, maybe this will make you feel better about being on land. Right now although the swells are getting better, my stomach wishes it was back on land.

ALso, have taken lots of pixs but haven't been able to download with our laptop. If anyone has seen pixs please pm me and let me know who's doing it. Would love to learn how they did it. Wasn't sure if it was us or the system. Others seem to be having the same problem. Gotta go the line for the computers is getting long again.

We have more, but I'll post them when I can upload them :)

The yellow banner is indeed a DIS banner, and there were DISers around it, too. We could barely read it from our vantage point (next to the Acapulco Restaurant), and then as soon as the ship passed us, we jumped in the car & took Pacific St. all the way to the end to the overlook they have there. :sunny:

Hi Laura,

I met you on our July 23 cruise. I am so glad that you are giving us your reports and I hope you have an awsome time! I was just wondering how its going to work with excursions now that you are being rerouted to Manzanillo?
Will you still be able to do excursions through DCL or is everyone on their own? My DH has been to Manzanillo and he says it is absolutely beautiful. I am sure you will have a great time no matter what you do. Keep us posted!

We have enjoyed seeing the video! My husband and I watched it last night. I watched it with my son today. The song choice was great.
Does everyone see the Pinnacle logo- or was that just me?

We would love to see the high res copy- it gets me even more excited for the 11 night cruise in Sept. 06. (You shoud go- you'll love it)

Thank you for your time and hard work!

Just checked the NOAA site and Hillary is heading pretty much due west and you guys are heading southeast so each mile puts more distance between you and the storm.

Hope the seas quiet down and you have a fantastic time in port tomorrow. I bet DCL has excursions figured out by the time you make port.

Don't you wish you were south right now...... think this teleporter will work? :teleport:

Give Noah a hug......


I wish the teleporter would work....I would love to be there now- but maybe after the 15 foot waves are gone.

Hey Kelli....I thought you were baking cookies!!!!!!!!!

Cookies and travelling with the Magic as it comes home ...what a great idea!!

I tried 3 times to see the video and it won't work. I'll just close my eyes and remember how it was on the ship on 5/28 as we took the very first trip out of the port of LA. That was awesome!! Heck, I'll even pull out my pictures and look at them again.

Goofydad - your daughter is beautiful! Congratulations. I think it is time to upgrade my computerso I can see this video everyone is raving about.

I thought Roberto was from Panama too. Hi Kelli - remember the PRC!

Hi, Sandy!!! :flower3: You sure pop up when I least expect it!!!!!! Thanks for word on Putra, and how he is doing! The hardest part about going on the Wonder in Jan is all "my" servers won't be there!!! :rolleyes2 (Btw, Alvaro is from Panama! And a GREAT guy he is!!! Roberto held the very first shirt race in Acapulco!!!)

Elaine, cookies are done......:cheer2: Yeah........

Celeste, I will tell her....she was so surprised that another "local" was cruising with us!! She's visited Burlington a couple times since the cruise, but nothing serious....her granddaughter isn't doing well, though and she's pretty devastated about that....

To kinda try to keep this on topic, even though most of the cruisers must be having fun, and NOT using the internet.......Alvaro is a great pilot if you get him....but be sure to watch on deck 4 aft under the lifeboats for an "official" looking person, and its probably one of your pilots. They love to answer questions....can't wait to hear if you all get a book, and all about the goodies you get.

GG777-Thanks for the wonderful video. We are on the Magic and I finally got time to get logged on. I was so hoping there would be video and there it was. Also to all those who took photos THANKS a million, as well. I am outside the Cove Cafe and it is still windy but getting better. They had barf bags in the Walt Disney theater when we went in this afternoon to hear about Manzanillo. Apparently there is only one cast member on the entire ship that has been to Mananillo so they asked for our patience as they couldn't answer all our questions. I was disappointed that we couldn't stop in Cabo but there are certainly worse places to be during a hurricane than the Magic. The sun peaked through a little around 4:00 PM and seas were at 17-20 feet 3 hours ago down from 30 this AM. They did a good job of last minute planning for us today and all in all I can't complain a bit. They are offering 5 excursions for tomorrow, one sold out quite quickly but I was amazed they could do what they did for a port no one has been to. Our wine tasting had to be moved and we even got personal invitations tonight. Poor Tracy having to rearrange all that. Went to the cruise sales pitch today and still no word on 2007 cruises but she said they were told they would definitely be announced in October. She mentioned the Mediterranean, Alaska and back to California but didn't commit to any. They are offering a $500 credit for the 10 night only next September which may be what they've been offering but I hadn't seen that anywhere. Thanks to all for the good wishes.

Wow! That's pretty good, they announced the 10 and 11 nights on my cruise on August 5th and they weren't offering $500 then! So that sounds pretty good!!!!

Have fun!!! Sorry you missed Cabo!

I do know they had them set up, but dont know what they are..
one was a 4 hour island tour ???

Also here is some verbage from another Person on the Magic..

" HELLO CABO!!!!!
GOOD BYE CABO!!!!


Well at 5:45am we passed Cabo, Hurricane Hillary did not want us to visit the island and for the safety and security of the ship, crew members and guests we are heading away from the island. Yep that’s correct we have missed our first port. Tomorrow we will be going to Manzanillo instead. The mood on the ship is no longer exciting as many people are upset that our visit to Cabo is now cancelled. Also I know that some guests boarded the ship without their luggage and the luggage was being shipped to Cabo-I feel bad for those people! "

On the May repo cruise, the sailaway was delayed for up to an hour waiting for a white truck full of luggage that did arrive.

I'm sorry you missed Cabo but glad you are safe. I wonder if they will make a pin for Manzanillo and send it later.

Have a safe trip.

I found a website that lists what port (Puerto de Manzanillo) the ship will pulling in.

Link To Website (http://www.apimanzanillo.com.mx/asp/serviciosclientes/informesreportes.asp)

Click on the Excel file: "Bitacora de Entrada y Salida de Buques 230805 08:30 "

If anyone can translate, this would help.

Rachel just got back to the ship after being off all summer. I believe she got back on August 6th.

Entrance and exit of ships into the port. If you click on the link it is a detailed log of the ships that are entering and exiting Manzanillo as of 8:30 a.m. 8/23/05. If you click on the link it gives the time each ship has entered and the stats on the ship and then the time it leaves the port. I haven't found a live link though that shows the current ships in port, but I'll keep looking.

Here's pixie dust :wizard: that the rest will be smooth sailing...should be. As someone mentioned before, you've probably hit the worst of it. The hurricane is headed west, and you're headed southeast. So good luck! :goodvibes

So Rachel...is she on the Magic for good now since she's back? We were on the Wonder back in '03, and she was our cruise director. We LOVED her! We were hoping that she would be on the Magic next month (9/17) for our Eastern! Sounds like chances are good! :cheer2:
