Brenda,

Don't forget the Disney Character that will call you from the "ship" before you leave. I forgot all about it till I came across the conformation sheet I printed off.

See you on the Magic, Paul

Hi, Paul.

Thanks. The call is actually going to my DH. I can't wait to see what he has to say about that when he gets the call.

See you soon.

Wow, can it actually only be 9 more days and a Wake up!! UNBELIEVEABLE!

I've got the call going to DH as well. Now the trick is to make sure he answers the phone.

Anyone done one of these before? Little concerned about "the having to push 1" part. Will he be prompted to do this from the message, or will I have to tell him?

Anybody at the airport Hyatt on 10/22? If so, perhaps we'll run into each other. We're considering wearing our lime green Mickey t-shirts from a past cruise on the 23rd. Look for us bright and early in Hemisphere, eating breakfast before catching ME. She's 5'3", with long brown hair. I'm 6', with a goatee.

We're not staying at the Hyatt but we are planning to be on the 1st DCL bus to the port! Maybe we'll see you - me: 5'3" with brown hair & eyes (may or not have long/thick hair up and may or may not be wearing glasses ) & DH blonde with blue eyes - he will prob be wearing his Mickey Ears Top Hat (we refuse to pack it!)

Does anyone know from experience when the 1st DCL bus leaves MCO?

 

[TorontoGirl]

Sad...I think it's great

GOOOO PHILLIES!!!!

LOL - Like all Toronto sports fan I am a glutton for punishment and actually like the Jays

Wishing Doc could have stayed in T.O. but I understand why he left - love him anyway!

When did you get these pics? I would love to get some of the empty decks/areas!

i was just reading your 'tickers' and looks like Chaz is doing the Alaskan cruise - that is SOOOO COOL!!! so wish we were going!

Yes - it was his idea to go to Alasks and he wanted Shannon and I to go as well. Well we were so lucky to see that DCL was going there next summer and pitched the idea to him - he was pretty cool about.

He's VERY excited to go as he has always wanted to see Alaska.

Had to go back and look at the image details. I took them on Castaway Cay morning. I think around 9am or so. Time stamp is a bit off.

Hi Friends!!!

I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!! You'd think this seasoned DCL cruiser would not be so excited, but before and during each cruise I'm just as excited as I was the first time I boarded the Magic for a 4 day Bahamas cruise in July 1999. I feel truly blessed to be able to cruise with all of you on such a beautiful ship.

The cruise is on my mind, now, full-time! It occupies my thoughts at work and it helps me get through my hectic, fast-paced job.

Carla, my cruise buddy and my DD's m-i-l, is so looking forward to our 2nd girls' DCL cruise as she had a rough year battling breast cancer and the effects of chemo.

I'm about done packing -- will finish up this weekend. The key to my packing is to keep it light and simple. Less is better works for me.

And, I just received cruise docs for our November 18 and 21, 2010 Wonder cruises. We're cruising with 4 of our 6 grandkids and their parents. So, I'll only have about 3 weeks between cruises.

See you in a few wake ups!

I have 6 of them - ages 4 through 8, but I always have room for a few extra! I also have a teeanger (almost 14 years old) in my life, Alyssa, who has Down Syndrome. She is my "adopted" 7th grandchild and she's been on 2 Disney Wonder cruises with me. Grandma4ever has heard me brag about her! I am calling DVC following this cruise and booking a Dream cruise in 2012 for Alyssa, her mom, DH and me. The November double dip is all on DVC points, too. Two of the staterooms are SPH. Thank you DVC!
