2/28/04 Magic Western...anyone onboard?

[CB4U]

Plutospup,

I knew it was your family. I remembered reading a post way back when from you regarding the system of getting back to the Radisson.

Anyway, have a wonderful time and let us know how everything is on the Magic. By the way, we're renting from Budget this year!!

Smooth sailing.......

 

[plutospup]

Thanks CB4U! It's great hearing from you!

Well, the bags are packed, and some have even made it to the van. DD6 is sound asleep dreaming of Mickey Ice Cream bars. Time to relax. Tomorrow we leave for Mickey's Boat!!!

BTW...we booked our own air so we could leisurely travel the day before the cruise. My cousin's family booked their air through Disney. Their flight from Harrisburg leaves at 6 am, Saturday! They'll be falling asleep at dinner (early seating)!

HI! This is Yamahaboy's mom. He's been bugging me to post so here I am. I've been reading all the posts but I guess it's time to quit lurking and post. Tomorrow is our last day at home and I'm sure we'll be busy all day--cleaning house, finishing up laundry, last minute packing. We've all had haircuts, been shopping for weeks for new clothes, shoes, etc. We need to get on the ship already so we can stop spending so much MONEY!!
We can't wait to be there!! I'm sure everyone is as excited as we are!! Looking forward to meeting everyone on Sunday.

And you have a great mature "kid" who's a great part of this trip! (but you know that...)

 

[plutospup]

We've been waiting for this day for a long time! We'll see you onboard. Safe travels everyone.

[smchan]

VM, Thanks for the photos!

So... now I'm on the 2nd leg of my trip - The Yacht Club at WDW.

Seas were very rough the first night but settled down afterwards. Couldn't have asked for better weather overall.

And I booked on board to go again - 4/30/2005 Eastern.

[macker]

just wanted to say to all how sorry I am I missed the dis. meeting on Sunday in Promenade lounge. I was chilling out after a shop talk meeting when along came my 20 y/o grandson asking to go to bingo with him. So off I went. It would have been so great to meet all. jbix00 did make it, however, and said how great it was to meet everyone we had been talking with all year. In spite of the high winds and rough seas, we all had a great cruise. flights home were good also. Left my eyeglasses behind so hopefully my cabin steward found them and turned them in. I have e-mailed the cruiseline. Oh Well. Hope everyone had a great cruise and a safe trip home.

 

[jbix00]

Hi everyone!!! We had a great time on the cruise (our first) and had a blast meeting everyone!

We were on the road by 8:30 AM & proceded to drive straight thru to home - 868 miles! Man - what a drive.

Hope everyone made it home OK.

I'll be posting a trip report for the board sometime this week.

What is ur daughters name? i meet alot of ppl in the stack and wasnt shure if she was one of them lol.

We made it!

Hi everybody, yes we made it back to Montana. It was a long trip, but the cruise made it worth every second. We had to wait at the ticket counter for half an hour while they checked us out. Apparently our names matched someone on a "suspicious" list and they had to check us out. Right. They stop everyone coming through the airport with the surname of "Clark". No wonder the line moved so slowly. The flight from Orlando sat on the runway for 50 minutes while they were waiting for the "log book". We ended up missing our connection to Spokane and having to take a later flight. We landed in Spokane at midnight, and crashed at the motel at 1:00 am. We woke at 8ish and drove home arriving at 1:00 pm today. The house is still rocking, and my ears have finally quit popping from the planes, but I'm feeling great.

Tuesday will be different, I have to go back to work.

It was really fun meeting everyone.

Verandah man-thanks for the pictures.

Mailman and family, I think you guys were following us . It was kind of fun to "know" people on the cruise. Your Alex is such a cutie.

Mississaguamom, Sammy is still talking about you guys . She's planning to tell her class about her friend Lara from Canada.

We are beginning to plan another cruise, it was so much fun, but we didn't book on board. It will have to be 2006 for us.

Hope everyone made it home OK.
