Jeff

Tell me about it! We're now down to 7 luggages instead of 10, one of them are shoes -- her shoes .

Monstro,

We may be joining Shellback in Latin dancing at 4:30, but this depends on our grandchildren and their activities.

I pack in short bursts, since I have been working all weekend and am working all week. Shirts today. Socks yesterday. The only real danger of this is I may forget an entire category. They guy with no pants or no underwear...that'll be me! Wish me luck. Maybe a check list..........

Hello all,

Interestd in the cabin tour? I propose we do it at 4:10 on Monday. The Navigator has the following activiteis listed for that time.

3:30 Family Animation with Don Ducky Williams.
4:00 Informal Basketball play for families.
4:30 Latin Dancing.

for those of you interested in catching Do Williams, I'd erecommend the 11:00 Presentation of behind the scenes.

Any thoughts on 4:10 Monday? I'll work up the meeting time and the path we'll take. My goal is to hold this to 30 minutes.

Jeff

Thanks Jeff for organizing this. You know, I may try to get Tim go to the Latin dancing, sounds like fun! Can we make it a bit earlier? Perhaps 3:15 or 3:30? 30 minutes sounds great!

Thanks,
Tami

Cabin tour at 3:30 - 4:00 sounds good to me too!

Will anyone care about missing Bingo? Bingo is from 3:30 to 4:00. It's the only form of gambling on the Magic.

I can't wait to see you do that hot latin dance shellback. I'll bring the video camera.

Missing BINGO early in the cruise is just fine. I think I might wait until the end to play this trip. With a full ship the last BINGO should be a real good one.

Why is it there is never enough time. I was in Puerto Rico last week and I just started packing some tonight. Have to pack for my son too. We leave Wed Morning for LA. Looks like an all nighter on Tue. We have to drive to Atlanta to catch our flight and will spend a few days in LA. Going to Disney on Friday. Is anyone else going that day. I think Dawn from Hawaii is planning on being there. Everyone have a safe trip and we'll see "you all" on Saturday.

Question; Are any of the teens wearing tuxes. I have gotten my son one in the past, but this year, the stores seem to want an unreasonable amount to rent. I'm running out of time!

 

[Dawnee]

It's almost midnight Hawaii time, am leaving in the morning and am still packing!! So why am I on the boards you ask? Just had to take a break, thought I could get away with 3 suitcases, am now up to 4 fully stuffed suitcases, and am thinking about bringing another one! YIKES!

This should be the last post for me before leaving. Monstro, whatever time you plan it will be fine, though I too am interested in the Latin Dancing.

Yes,bfayne, Lkohawaii (Sherri), Grandma Debby, and I will be at Disneyland on Friday. We're meeting on Thursday at Club Libby Lu 1pm.

Until we all meet on board - 3:15 in the Promenade Lounge - or at the terminal - everyone wearing their lime green shirts??

I just called Monday AM to order tux's for Tim (DH) and Keegan (DS-14.5), they were pretty darn accomodating. It's worth a try, if you're into it. I think it's fun to get all dress-up, our son's never worn a tux, so it will be fun for him. Oh, I called the cruiseline formal wear that came with our docs. They originally say 2 weeks, but the gal said they can do it much closer on the Magic.

OK. 3:30 it is. I'll have it lined out at the meet.

[Monstro]

Hey!

We're next on the Magic. Eveyone travel safe. We'll see you at the cruise meet.

We're not leaving until Friday.,... Packing tonigt

[JanetMB]

We finally received Natalie and Sophie's passports so now we can get excited!!! I was imagining having to spend half the day at the county registrar's office to get new birth certificates.

Can someone remind me of the meet schedule? We may have to miss the initial meet because I think we have to go to a seminar on food allergies (Natalie is allergic to peanuts). Wasn't there a second meet during the sail away party?

We tried to find things for the girls to trade but didn't have much luck. They found some light up rings they just had to have and give away. I was hoping to find time to go to the seashell shop but doubt that will happen.

See you soon!

Hey!
We just got through packing. It is 8 hours before our flight. It might sound last minute, but it is probably a record for us. I think we may be near the weight limit on our bags. Every time you turn around you see something else you think you might need.

Ya'll be careful on the way down. We will see you Saturday.

[bfayne]

Its almost 2am on Wed and we are still (or should I say I) packing. Leaving for Atlanta at 7:30 to catch a 1:45 flight to LAX. We will see ya'll on the ship on Saturday.

[CruisingCA2005]

Have a fun trip aboard the Magic!

My family & I went to the port today to see the Magic leave San Pedro but we forgot our camera!! We were waving to everyone & wishing we could be onboard too. See you at the port on Saturday morning....

 

[lkohawaii]

Probably because we were all so busy making noise onboard.

I just wanted to thank all of you for the truly magical time I had onboard. My expectaions when I booked this cruise was just not to have to chase characters around the park. I thought I would be sick of them by the time I got off the ship. Well, my character chasing is not cured but I got so much more out of the cruise because of all of you that I met here. Even got to tour a 2 bedroom cabin suite...hmmm wonder how that hapened? When I would read about Pixie dust and Magic on the threads I would think oh, they must be Disney fanatics. Well, now because of all of you I have experienced this magic and pixie dust for myself. It's kind of sad to be home but I know I have the memories.

I hope everyone has arrived home safely....oh, and after my family heard about the wonderful time we had aboard their question was why didn't we rebook for all of them with Danielle. So, I guess I really am going to be on the Magic again...or maybe the Wonder this time.

Some of us wanted e mails so we could keep in touch with our new friends. If you PM me your email I'll put together a database (on windows this time...right Jeff). and I'll e mail it to everyone once we get most of the addresses.

P.S. Did you know that Barry won a sketch from Stecia ( I know that's not how you spell it) and Deb was sitting with her the whole week at dinner and they each got sketches as a goodbye gift. Too bad it wasn't any of us who won that jackpot bingo huh!!!

So, until we meet again it's Hope, dreams, and pixie dust ( I can't remember the first 2 I just remember the pixie dust...someone correct me). A big thanks to Jeff and Deb who wouldn't let our thread die....without their persistance we wouldn't have had all the fun we did.

Oh, and somone who has a picture of us that we took on at the stairs after our cabin tour...can you e mail it to me. I'd love to have a copy to remember us all by.

Yes, we definately had a better time since we got to meet everyone there on board. It made everything just more special. We loved bumping into everyone every few hours or so and comparing what we had been doing. One of the best times we had on board was the cabin tour set up by Monstro! That was a blast! The only thing that could have made the cruise better, was sunnier weather! It was nice to come home to blue skies and warmth! I am still rocking though so I have those memories still. We took 1003 pictures, so plan to go thru them this weekend and relive the days!
Keep in touch everyone. I will PM Sherrie with email address.
