Finally getting around to sharing our Magic cruise trip report. I enjoyed writing reports from our previous cruises (Konked Kruisers and B.O.B.) (see links) and now its time to tell of our adventures of our 7 night Eastern Caribbean cruise.
Cast of characters includes myself AKA Underdog and my lovely bride of 36 years Robin AKA dis name Tart Annihilator or as i like to call her "Sweet Polly".
This would be our 7th Disney cruise.
waiting at the airport in Akron.
Also joining us were several great friends we've met on previous cruises and trips, Chuck and Nancy from WI, Heather and her neice Wendy from the UK, Becky, Sean and Sarah for CA, Kathy from NJ as well as many more "new characters we met on our Dis "Parley" cruise thread.
Early on during the booking process we had to decide between whether to cruise the Magic again or do B2B (a 3 nt and a 4 nt) Disney Dream cruises like several of our previous cruisemates had decided to do.
While we understood the novelty of the new ship was intriguing, for us the choice was easy as the Magic will always hold a special place in our hearts. We've made many lifelong friends on that ship and couldnt pass up the chance to sail on her once again. 
I'm sure if we still had kids of age, the Aqua Duck would have altered our decision.
Also in the mix was the B2B would include 2 different stops at Nassau..We've been there before and really had no desire to go back. But thats just us. There is no right or wrong choice..Disney Cruise Line is all we've known so far and we're not ready to "test the waters" elsewhere at this time...so "bring on the Magic" !!
As Dr. Doofenshmirtz would say, "back story" done.

), but more importantly that i purchase the trip insurance. While i've never been a fan of purchasing the trip insurance ( to me they're selling fear
So as the time got closer to cruise, i just ignored the situation hoping Robin wouldnt mention it.
There must have been an unbelievable amount of panic on my face because she right away said "YOU DIDNT GET THE INSURANCE??".
Time to go on vacation! Robin had worked extra hrs for a week so that she could get an extra day off and we could fly out Thursday. Plane left Akron at 4 pm and the plan was to get to Florida in time and head to Epcot for Illuminations. (one of our favs)
