22nd Birthday on Disney Magic March 6th-March 13th, 2010 Cruise

[DMMarla07860]

So I'll start this trip report off by giving little details.

Cruise Staff was awesome this cruise. David, Mowgli, Ponz, Oscar, Dave, Melanie, Lisa, Pearl were all awesome and great and made the cruise fun. From talking with David, Mowgli, and Ponz during the days to dancing at night.

Servers
Ana, We had her back in 2008 and requested her and got her again and once again she was great.

Marcos was the Assistant Server, he was great gave me diet coke at dinner right away without even having to say anything.

Roberto was Head Server, he was the best head server we've had on any DCL and was nice and awesome.

Stateroom Host was Ronaldo, didn't really see him, but did a good job with the room, that's all I can ask for.

CD was Peter and he did a good job, didn't get to talk with him, but a couple times when I passed him said Hi.

ACD was Natalie, she was great as ACD, had her as ACD on my Wonder cruise in December as well, so two times now. Glad to see she is moving up

Woke up in the morning with my room cleaned and almost everything packed. I was ready to go to Disney World. I watched tv, downloaded some music and waited for dad to get home for work. Dad got home around 11:30am or so(can't remember). We got ready, said by to my mom and headed to the airport. Got to Newark airport and parked the car took a bus to the terminal, checked our bags, went through security and grabbed some lunch at Mcdonalds. After lunch sat and waited to head to Orlando. Got on the plane and got to Florida. We got our luggage and dad went to get the rental car while I waited.

Once we had the car headed to the Boardwalk hotel where we were going to be staying till Saturday morning. We checked in and went and saw our room.

We headed to downtown disney to grab some dinner since it was around 7:30pm or so. After dinner walked around downtown disney and then headed back to the hotel for the night. Dad wanted to look around the hotel, so he did that while I stayed in the room and took a shower and watched tv.

After breakfast walked around the hotel for a while then headed over to Hollywood Studios to get there when it openned, we headed to Toy Story Mania and rode it, only had to wait 20 mins in line while fastpass was for 11:30am or so.

Saturday, March 6th, 2010
Woke up early today, can't remember what time, just know it was early. Dad was already out of the room getting coffee and looking around so I took a shower and got ready for the day. After I was ready dad still wasn't back so I watched some tv. Dad came back to the room at about 6:30am or so and we got everything ready and watched some more tv. Around 7:00am we went to get breakfast. Got breakfast at the bakery on the boardwalk and some drinks and took it back to the room again and ate. After breakfast brushed our teeth and got the rest of our things ready and chilled for a while. We then decided to take a walk since it was only 7:30am or so and we had time before we were going to leave.

We went to the general type store and I bought a couple things, after that we had time so dad went to take a picture of something he had seen, while I headed back to the room and watched tv while I waited for him. He got back and we left and headed to the car to leave. While he got the car I waited with the bags.

The drive to port was the same as always exciting and boring, listened to a mix cd I had made in the car and texted people on my cell and went on facebook. Got to port a little before 10:00am I would say. They weren't letting people in just yet so waited in line till they did. They started letting people in and I got in. Got in the terminal and got in line to check in. In line met someone who is from the disboards and who I would be hanging out with during the week. Checked my dad and I in and waited for my dad to show up after he had dropped off the rental car. Dad met up with me and we got our pictures taken and then found a seat and waited around.

They started boarding the Magic, so soon enough we were on the ship. We headed to topsiders for our first lunch. Got some drinks of the day at lunch and were relaxed. After lunch we walked around a while and found a table to sit at.

Called my mom to tell her we were on the ship and that we were leaving that day and to say bye till tomorrow anyway. After that it was around 1:30pm and staterooms were ready, so we checked out the stateroom.

After checking out the stateroom I headed back up to decks 9 and 10 for a while since I had time before the disboards meet.

At 3:00pm went to the disboards meet and met a bunch of great people I would see throughout the week. After that walked around for a while and then headed back to the stateroom to get ready for the mandatory boat drill.

We were outside on deck 4 for the drill. After the drill went and brought the lifejackets back to the stateroom then headed up to decks 9 and 10 for Adventures Away. I stayed on deck 9 while dad headed up to deck 10.

After Adventures Away I watched us sail out of port from deck 10 and then went down to deck 4 for a while.

Headed back to the stateroom and got ready for dinner. Tonight dinner was in Animator's Palate. Our servers were Head Server Roberto, Server Ana(who we had in 2008 and requested this time), and Assistant Server Marcos. We sat we two ladies who were nice and we enjoyed talking with. I can't remember what I had for dinner, but it was great. They also did the show tonight.

After dinner walked around some and went to the shops, didn't buy anything tonight. Went to the All Aboard: Let The Magic Begin show in the Walt Disney Theatre, it was great once again. After that walked around some and went to watch The Right Stuff in Rockin' Bar D for a while, headed over to Diversions at 10:00pm for the College Club Social, lots of people showed up so looked like it would be a great week, met Mowgli for the first time as well. Ponz and Mowgli took us all over to Rockin' Bar D to play Magic Quest, which was great once again.

After that was Match Your Mate which is always funny to watch, after that The Right Stuff played and everyone pretty much left some of us stayed and talked with Mowgli for a while, we were all told to keep coming back before we all left. Headed back to the stateroom for a early night tonight since I was tired.

Next Up: Palo Brunch and Key West

I woke up around 7:30am or so and got ready for the day, dad was already out of the stateroom walking around the ship getting some coffee and also took a couple pictures.

Dad came back to the room and talked with him and said I would meet him later outside Palo for brunch and he left again, don't know what he did, but he took some pictures.

While he went back out I stayed in the stateroom a little longer and watched some tv and listened to my ipod and danced.

I got dressed for Palo brunch and went for a walk around the ship since it was only 9:00am. Sat on deck 4 for a while.

Headed up to Palo and met my dad for brunch. Palo brunch was great once again, can't even begin to remember all the great food I had.

After brunch left my dad and went back to the stateroom to change to comfy clothes. We weren't docked yet, but almost were so went up to deck 9 and 10 to watch us dock. They finally cleared the ship, so I headed back to the stateroom and met up with my dad and we headed off the ship, not before I grabbed my cell phone though. We had nothing planned for Key West, so we just walked to the Southern Most Point.

Went to CVS in Key West and picked up some drinks and made a call to my mom one last time on this trip. We then sat around on a bench for a while and then headed back to get on the Disney Magic. I can't remember what I did, I think I went back to the stateroom, then went and got some chicken fingers and then just walked around the ship and chilled and took some pictures.

Went back to the stateroom and got ready for dinner. Dinner was at Parrot Cay tonight. I don't remember what I had, but it was great. After dinner walked around some then went to see the show tonight in the Walt Disney Theatre. The show was Ricky Kalmon. After the show went and watched The Right Stuff for a while in Rockin' Bar D and then met up with other people from the college club and we all watched Freddy Fusion and then stayed for Disco Legends and danced the night away.

Some of us then headed up to deck 9 for some drinks and talked for a while. I headed back to the stateroom tonight around 2:30am or so.

Woke up around 7:30am or so, don't know why I couldn't sleep in. Dad was out of the stateroom again this morning getting some coffee for himself and a soda for me, so I got ready for the day. Dad got back and I was still getting ready, so finished getting ready and then we head up to Topsiders Buffet for breakfast.

After breakfast left my dad and walked around the ship for a while.

Went to the shops and looked around and then went and sat up in the deck 5 chairs for a while, love those deck 5 chairs because most of the time not many people are up there compared to deck 4. The Princess Gathering was happening so got some pictures of that.

Went up to deck 9 and took some pictures.

Around 11:00am they had the Castaway Club reception for return cruisers, ad since my day and I were Gold we could go. It was good, got some food and drinks and saw Captain Mickey and saw a video and on the way out got a free glass. After that went and sat by the promenade lounge windows for a while. Saw some of the college club people and we headed to Parrot Cay for college club lunch. Ponz was the cruise staff who joined us for lunch today, so we talked to him and we all got to know each other. After lunch some of us left and split up while others walked around together. I left the group for a while to go to the stateroom for a few minutes. Headed back out and ran into some of the group and we just walked around the ship. Walked all over the place, went down to deck 4 and ran into another guy from our group and we all walked around deck 4. We didn't really do anything, we just kind of walked around. We chilled outside Sessions for a while and we all talked about different things. Two of the group left us, so three of us that were left went and sat outside on deck 4 talking and relaxing.

After a while we got up and walked around again, I left the group and headed back to the stateroom to get ready for formal night since by now it was 5:15pm and dinner was at 5:45.

Dad and I headed up to the Atrium

Dinner was in Lumiere's tonight and was great once again. After dinner went to the stateroom and changed and then went and watched Freddy Fusion family show in Rockin' Bar D, it was great, after that went and looked around in the shops for a while then headed to get a seat in the Walt Disney Theatre for Twice Charmed. Twice Charmed was good once again. After the show went and watched The Right Stuff for a while in Rockin' Bar D and then headed over to Diversions for the college club, we then all headed over to Rockin' Bar D to see Ricky Kalmon show which was x-rated. After that was a dance party so all the girls danced and we even got the guys to dance a little bit. We headed up to deck 9 for some drinks again, then I think we all went back down to Rockin' Bar D for a while and talked to Mowgli by the DJ booth, I think this was the night was all talked a long time and lots of funny things happened. Headed back to the stateroom at 3:00am tonight.
