We got to be Family of the Day on the Oct. 13, 2012, Magic cruise out of Galveston! It was our 1st cruise. We were stopped right outside the sign up place for the kids' clubs. We had on matching red Disney shirts (just the park style, not cruise specific). A CM asked me a few questions...

FWIW, I read somewhere (possibly here) that Disney is really cracking down on nonlicensed items being sold on other sites (Ebay, Etsy, etc). The thought was that it was due to Frozen stuff being so popular, but I have no idea if that is true, or not. As long as you go through a licensed...

We booked both our cruises THE day they opened, and both were 540+ days out, so about 18 months. Good luck waiting, it's TOUGH!!!!

We are having the opposite issue. My kids LOVED the Kid's Club and Lab! They have NO urge to go to the EDGE. Literally, NONE. Whatsoever. DD will turn 13, 6 weeks BEFORE our next cruise, and has short term memory loss and severe anxiety. DS will turn 11, 3 weeks AFTER the cruise. I don't...

We paid $400.00+ for a 7 night on the Magic with CD and all printed photos in 2012.

The absence issue is more district to district than grade/age level. Our district is fine with it as long as they are not excessive and a note is sent. The district we border send parents to court after 5 absences, if dr.s notes are not received. I don't know of anyone who has been fined for...

We're coming, too!!!! This will be our 2nd DCL cruise. 1st was Oct., 2012, also out of Galveston. It will hubby, me, daughter, newly 13 , and son, not quite 11 (ages at time of travel). We will be celebrating my 50th birthday (about 6 months late, but whatever) and 15th anniversary (a...

We had 6560 on the Magic in 2012. Loved it so much, we booked same cabin on Wonder for Nov. 2015. Right off elevators toward front part of midship. Stairs very handy, Not too far to walk up to top deck or down to lower decks. Balcony faced docks when in port. On the magic it is right over...

We are on the 11/27/15 out of Galveston, as well! Told the TA to not even bother looking at Thanksgiving because I knew it would be out of our price range. We debated 11/13 vs 11/27 and the less days out of school PLUS longer time at Castaway Cay were the selling points for us. Sooooo...

We leave the port in EXACTLY 48 hours! Your TR is making me sooo hyper!!! I may not sleep until I get on the boat! Awesome pics!!!

I agree! The only thing I will get done this week is PACKING!!! No productive work from me! Wanted to let you know absolutely NO chance of rain (so far) on Saturday according to multiple meteorologists in the area. High of 90 so it will be warm, but hopefully, also DRY! COME ON...

Something very fishy is going on! I recommended the Galveston Park'n'Cruise parking because they are so convenient to Terminal 2, where DCL docks. Someone reported they were sold out for Spring 2013. I thought to myself "Huh?!?!They are huge! All one story buildings, but several warehouses...

This is directly across from the terminal and (I believe) very reasonably priced. It has both covered and outdoor parking and looks like they have the new dates for DCL on their calendars. www.galvestonparkncruise.com/ We are using them this Saturday so will try to report back when we get...

I am watching the Magic leave port on the webcam. Can y'all believe that the next time she does that WE WILL BE ON IT?!?!?!?!?! Just one more week for the kids NOT to find out. It is getting HARD!!!!

We leave ONE WEEK from today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited I can hardly stand it! How was embarkation? We have the 11-11:30 check in time but plan to get there early, just to soak it all in. Our kids still have not found out, so only 7 more days to keep it all in. Just give us any tidbits...

We were there too! We were the 4 in the red Disney shirts. EVERYBODY asked if we were going on the cruise! The kids would say 'no..." and look pitiful then I would say "Some day, hopefully" and mouth 'in three weeks!!!" behind there heads and everybody would say "OH! I do hope you get to go...

So are we!!!! How crazy is that!

HEY! We are from Katy, as well ('new' Katy, so Harris Co. part. Cy-Fair school district). We have a 7 1/2 year old son and a 'turning 10 on the cruise' daughter that plans to spend a lot of time in the clubs - or that is what they said last time we watched a show about the ships. As for...

Wondering if anyone else is dealing with this issue. DH is kind of freaking out. Not about hurricanes, not about seasickness, not about being bored, not even about the surprise being ruined (so far the kids STILL know nothing!:thumbsup2) What he is obsessing about is bedbugs!!! Somehow...
