Cool Pic! Does Magic have a water slide like this? If so, what is the age / height requirement?

Welcome purplepaula!!!
Pic-of-the-day time!!!!
Boy, I need this vacation so bad, the past two weeks have been the worst ever. My husband's grandpa passed away on Jan. 4 and then my grandpa passed away yesterday. I'm just plain exhausted and tired of crying and need to get away so badly. I am so thankful for something happy to look forward to and distract me a little.
I was originally booked for the 1 Feb 13 sailing and only found out about the change in Oct because my travel agent forgot to tell me At first I was upset but now think this itinerary is so much better for the kids (and I always wanted to go to CC)
There are eight of us going, myself, DH, 3DS (17, 14, and 7) DD (2) and my mother and mother-in-law.
This thread is great, thanks for all the tips
On carnival there is a place online to say whether you want beds together or apart. Is there anything like that on dcl or do i call? I was reading another persons experience and it sounded like it took them the whole first day to get the beds pulled apart and made.

Natalie - This IS the Magic (or the Wonder, they look the same) so the kids can swim/slide here in 29 days!! The slide is for kids ages 4-14 with a minimum height of 38" and maximum 64". The Mickey Pool is the Kid pool and is only 2-feet deep, which makes it perfect for the little ones. The water is very warm due to the shallowness (and...well...let's not think of why else a kiddie pool would be warm, shall we? ) so even the little ones like it. Plus, it's usually less crowded than the family pool in the middle of the ship (mainly b/c the adults can't really "swim" in this one).

I knew I wasn't crazy because I found that Disney Cruise folder and then I couldn't find it again later for the life of me. I'll have to go look some more to make sure I got everything I wanted.

I can't speak for the Magic, as we have not been on her yet, but I'm pretty sure the Mickey slide on the Wonder ends in the Mickey pool. It is not next -to-it-but-separate, like the one in the picture.
On our Wonder cruise, there were plenty of parents in the Mickey pool, most with their little ones, but some not. In fact, when we first got on the ship there was on couple in the Mickey pool that seemed to think they were on the Love Boat. Definitely was not a "family friendly" scene.
Fatfish..We had similar experience at Coronado hotel at DW...MUCH worse though..there was a college spring break party at pool and hot tub...some had to get carried away in wheel chairs. I was once on an NCL cruise like that as well. NCL took appropriate measures to resolve our unhappiness...When I wrote a letter to Disney they said sorry and that was all. :-( I still love Disney though.
Hopefully this cruise will be free if these shenanigans. haha
fatfish said:I pointed the couple out to several cast members, but they did nothing. I honestly think they did not know what to do. So, I got in the pool while dd went down the Mickey slide. I ran back and forth across the pool splashing and yelling to dd. I did my best to make the pool as unromantic as possible. Luckily, other ppassengers were joining us at the pool at the time, and were equally rambunctious. It didn't take long after that for the couple to leave.

Don't want to alarm anyone, but anyone travelling via their own air the last day of the cruise might want to check that their trip insurance covers "missed connections".
We're not affected because we fly out the next day.
Pic-of-the-day!!! I'm surprised no one else has jumped in yet. The other cruise meets I've done have always done a count down with daily photos to drive us mad with anticipation... Please feel free to share your Disney pics!

Ok, I'll jump on the bandwagon. All my pics have people in them though and the last time we sailed was on the Dream so it's a little different but still makes me want to be back onboard NOW!
Gotta love Animator's Palette! And no, we do not make a habit of letting our children jump on their chairs during dinner, I promise. This was during the show and they told everyone to do it!

Y'all, Texas winter weather is very unpredictable. We can have 80 degrees and fog one day, and 33 degrees and sleet the next. While it is rare for Galveston to get as low as 33, its been about that overnight all week in Houston, which is where the airports are. Dallas was shut down by freezing rain earlier in the week. February is usually nicer weather than January, but the fog happens in warmer weather, not the cold weather. Many days the weather is beautiful 60 - 70 degrees, but anything is possible. I'm just saying to be prepared for any type of weather, and any complications it could cause. And bring your coats.
