The McSparklesons Sail the Magic... AGAIN! $500 Potato Chips! 3/13

[tony64]

Keep this up and you'd have ploughed the whole field.

 

[karajeboo]

Tony, you are right! We could have plowed the whole field this night. It was a very LOOOOOONG night!

We were up on deck 10 looking down on the action, and the girls were front and center for the pirate party....

Looks like they needed to keep the plow in the ground, too. It had been a long day for everyone....

Still plowing.....

It quickly filled up below and we were ready to GOOOOO!

Hey look! It's the wench that stole Ally's beads!!!

After all those bad pirates, here comes Mickey to save the day! This is my FAVORITE part of pirate party! I jump up and down and clap and cheer just like a kid! I love it! Or maybe it was just all day in Cozumel catching up with me....

Now usually, this is when the fireworks start.... but they didn't. There was a "technical malfunction."

So we danced some more!!!

Including Darren McBlarneystone. Breakin it down! He was REALLY moving!!!!

And then it was time for the only fireworks at sea!!!!

We saw McBlarneystone right after the party and Jeff just looked at him and clapped. Poor McBlarneystone said, "Not too shabby for an old man, huh?"

We stopped and grabbed some munchies and snuggled up to watch all of 5 minutes of POTC while we ate....

Just a "little" snack.....

Soon it was time for the best sight of the day.....

But we still had to wait up for Ally, the pirate party animal. That child NEVER came in before midnight!!!!

I love the mickey saving the day part!!!! I get all giddy, too!!!

Very proud of you and all that farm labor! I personally love it when you put the plow in the ground- lol....

 

[tokyodisneydad]

Maybe you already said, but I missed it. What is that chocolate looking drink that keeps showing up? Did it have Kahlua in it?

 

[tony64]

Now I can't wait for the next instalment; I'm wondering if you had a sore head the next morning? Sometimes you can get a really bad headache when you have been ploughing all day under a hot sun.

They were chocolate martinis.... not in martini glasses, but yes, there was kahlua, and chocolate, and other stuff that kept my eyes WIDE open all night long! No headache the next day and I was a little surprised actually..... But we didn't see Tammi until sometime after lunch. In fact, I have a video that Jeff took of us singing and dancing to Pirate party , but I wouldn't dare show it. Tammi would have my butt in a sling!!! It was pretty entertaining and I'm sure it explains just how hard we "plowed" all night long!!!

 

[anewmac]

I love that Tori is all into the dancing at dinner!

Those plowing drinks looks delish!

Thats what I love about disney they do know how to throw a party!

 

[jenseib]

We saw that wench on the ship last week....shes really nice though. Lo e your pirate pictures.

 

[Beth D]

Wow, I think I've been off the DIS boards even longer than you! Glad I didn't miss a whole lot!

The stop at Cozumel looks great! I love the pay one price for all day kind of excursions! You know exactly how much you're on the hook for! We did an all-inclusive 2 years ago south of Playa Del Carmen, and they had a bar with those rope swings, right on the beach. AHH... swinging and drinking cocktails at 10 AM!

Hope your poison ivy is better finally! I've never had it (fingers crossed) so no 2 cents from me on cures!

When we were on the Magic last year, our dinner server said that during the day she works in the food office, making sure that the meals for the day are OK for all those with special needs (allergies, kosher, diabetic, etc...) Most other servers we would see at breakfast or lunch. It's amazing how many people they have watching out for those special needs. But I guess they really have to be careful, as an allergic reaction far from shore could be super dangerous!

 

[nkochrn]

LOVE LOVE LOVE hearing all about your trip! Hope I can talk the hubs into lots more cruises after we go on ours in January, ecspecially while the Magic is in Galveston, it's soooo much closer for us to drive there!

 

[kgoldenh]

Love reliving each day. SOOOO wish there was a cruise in our near future.

we ended up on deck early at one of the tables near the main stage - it was great til things got rocking. We ended up right up the back stairs facing the stage. It was wo wonderful to see Mickey save the day. My kids are somewhat embarrassed by me being a kid but... isn't that what we parents live for? It was a great show and the fireworks - just WOW!.

We did not even see the buffet -well other than being set up. One of these trips though....

ok Kara -we need more!!

There must be an issue with it. I went today to get some photos and they were not there. I looked and looked and they were not there, so uploaded again and then they appeared after I uploaded.

 

[brookelizabeth]

How in the world did you keep going?! I would have been snoozin' in a lounge chair before the party.

Love the Cozumel excursion, I'm going to keep that one in mind for my next trip back there...whenever that may be!

 

[karajeboo]

I'm here I'm here I'm here!!!!! Just got totally caught up in this game of Life. Oh, wait, it's not a game? You mean this is REAL?????? I'll be back soon with an update. Promise.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Yep. A real reality show....

 

[violetmonarch]

Just discovered this TR and I love it! I have just caught up reading the whole thing took me 2 evenings to complete but worth it...laughed so hard! Literally crying. I am going on the Magic in less than 2 months and you gave me great insight since I have never traveled anywhere ever. Can't wait to read and see more from you and your travels
