Actually, this cruise was only booked about a month ago for us...we were going to go on April 8..and then we realized Delanie wouldn't be old enough, so we pushed it back to the 15th..and then my DH couldn't get that week off. (We work in the hospitality industry, and that was too close to Easter crowds!)...so, we pushed it back another week, and here we are!
We're also celebrating b-days on the ship...DH and DS Alex. Really looking forward to it!
We're still on board. My days are spent dreaming of warm tropical breezes. I just cannot wait 5 more weeks.
Anyone have a feeling one way or another if we're going to Cozumel or Costa Maya? Personally, I'm hoping for Costa Maya. What does everyone else think?
If you haven't already heard, The Travel Channel will be airing it's show on the Disney Magic this week. I belive it is Tuesday night at 10pm.
A huge group of us our going on the 4/22 cruise to celebrate my husband and my 10th anniversary. Normally we do a walk for the national multiple sclerosis society on that weekend. We have decided to do the walk anyway on the ship. ON Monday @ 11am we will all be meeting to walk around the ship on deck 4 to honor our tradition. For those of you who may be interested in walking with us please let me know. There is a website with the MS society where you can officially sign up and make your donations directly or you can raise money on your own and give it to me on the ship. I can assure you that this is a great cause and 100 % of the money will get to the society. you will need to go to the national ms society website to sign up. i cant post the url

our code # is NJMWHORC01
I am so excited! We just booked our cruise for April 22! This is our first cruise and will be fun - my husband is overseas with his job in a hostile enviroment and he will be home for 11 days and we are splurging and going on the cruise for most of it so he can relax without hearing bombs and military stuff all the time!
We have 2 children - Aaron will be 9 (he turns 9 on April 21st!) and a daughter Ashlyn who is 11.
We have a category 11 room on deck 6 and we are doing the Romance Package!
Hello - my children, Ashlyn age 11 and Aaron age 8 (will be 9 day before cruise) would like to know if any of the other kids their age would like to become Pen Pals and write to each other before the cruise? Even if it is via email. email me privately and I will email you our snail mail address. She is really excited about meeting some "new" friends who will be on the cruise.
Did I mention I am really excited about this cruise???!!!!
I saw someone mention about the "gifts" and I went and ordered some cool totebags filled with gifts - candy, snacks, Dr. Pepper (their favorite - not sure if it is served on the cruise), water bottles w/holders, binoculars, glow sticks AND they will have beach towels in them IF they can come up with a Pluto one. My son's favorite character - my daughters is Tinkerbell - so her bag and stuff is tink orinated!
I will then have them tied together with Happy Birthday Baloons! Her birthday was the first part of March so this is for both of them!
I'm PM'ing you with my children's email addresses! My DD is 11, and would love to meet someone! Her interests right now are Neopets, Pokemon, and the Sims! My DS is 13, but because he and his sister are just about best friends, and because he's slightly special needs, he tends to hang with kids a couple of years younger than him. He loves Star Wars, Bionicle, Science (Chemistry) and anything Spy related. He's also an accomplished Boy Scout. Here's hoping they'll find some common ground!
I'd love to make some new friends too! I'm 34, mother of 4...into Scrapbooking, and so in love with the mouse, I had to move to Orlando to get my fix! Looking forward to chatting with you!
I went to the PO this weekend and got an idea for something for the kids. The PO had mailing envelopes with Disney theme on them.
I think I am going to buy one for each child and mail them together in a package along with things like floats for the beach, sand toys, etc. - I will then have them "delivered" to the kids during the cruise. I might just mail them there - but they will already have their gift totes waiting on them - I think it would be more fun for them to get gifts during the week in anticipation of things to come the next day (like the floats and toys for the beach at CC)
I am going to put my thinking cap on to make this be magical for them.
And I am trying to come up with things to do for my hubby since he has not seen us for over 2 months!
Hey is there anyway to get another Roll Call of who is going on this cruise? I am really excited (first cruise) and it is cool "meeting" others who will be on the cruise! I love meeting new people!

Just a heads up if you give blood on a regular basis
from Red Cross site
Travel Outside of U.S., Immigration
Wait 12 months after travel in an area where malaria is found. Wait 3 years after living in a country where malaria is found.
We got back from the 2/25-3/4 western that visited Costa Maya.
And my brother-in-law went to give blood & was told Costa Maya is on that list. [Cozumel wasn't]
My sister does platlets [spelling?] and she can't donate for a year either.
They say Malaria can be transfered just being in the warm water...
If you donate regular, I wouldn't get off in that port.
