4/25/09 Magic - First Visit To Tortola!

[amy2girls]

I think we are going to go to the grills on Thursday to watch the wonder leave port!

 

[lsutigger2]

I got my travel docs today also

I needed a cheer me up and I think that has done the trick

You ever have those "weeks" That was mine this week.

Queen2: Love the design. I may use to make my door magnet. Decisions, decisions, decisions -

Queen2, I love the t-shirt transfer, I am going to give it a try, but if you don't see me with it on you will know I could not do it.
Ole Ole Dot

thank-you
It is easyto do. You need transfer paper. They know have transfer paper for all colors. I found it at ACMOORE. On PrintWorks if get for all colors you don't have to mirror image. If you get PrintWorks for white shirts. You have to mirror the image. I take my shirts to a print shop for them to iron it on.

if you really want one I'll do it for you. The cost would be the price of the shirt. Plus 3.00 to have it ironed on. I'll bring it with me for the photo shoot.

 

[dotheyes]

Queen2 I am going to try it over the weekend, and will let you know. I want to try and add Dumbo to the picture and print it out. I am a dumbo nut


lsutigger2, Congrats on being the first to do the doc dance. Hope ours come soon, I am like a little kid no patience.

amy2girls, have you been to Grills before? If you like it on Thurs, maybe you'll come back and visit with us on Fri.

No problem!! I've also dragged out a suitcase already and started throwing things into it that we need to bring.

Guess what I just did this morning?! I shipped a box to the ship with all the FE gifts! So that's all done! Yay!

Oh Goodness Rebecca - - I am always ahead of the game and seeing what you have done makes me realize I need to get a suitcase out tomorrow and pulling out summer clothes to see what fits.............the fun begins.

Good for you on the FE gifts -- I haven't started shopping yet -- number 2 on my list this weekend. DH is out of town - good time for me to do it.

Sandy

 

[sandyrella1010]

Sorry Hoosiercruiser -- that would be 2 adults and 1 child - -- it's late but at least I caught the mistake this time

Sandy

 

[sandyrella1010]

Thank-you
Oh, I didn't design, it was made for me, I just put it on transfer paper

Shucks -- and I gave you so much credit too

I'm so obsessive over these things. I think DH just wants to go on this cruise so I'll stop talking about it all the time!!

Putting the FE gifts together was so much fun!

Queen2 - I love the shirt idea! I think I'm going to make DH and I shirts to wear on the first day as well. It'll be fun to wear it for our boarding photo and the group photo!!

Sounds like your DH and mine have something in common

 

[sandyrella1010]

Hi -- I'm not trying to monopolize these boards - believe me ! I've got into full planning mode and have decided to get things done. For my use I made a list of the FE people in order of cabin number so it would be easier for me -- I'm including it here in case anyone else wants it....I hope I didn't make mistakes). ( I listed anyone 12 and under as a child).

Hi Everybody! I am on the pier at Jetty Park right now waiting to watch the Magic sail away! The wind and the waves are unbelievable today - I can barely hold my iPhone as I type! Hopefully we will have calmer weather when we sail!

Have a magical weekend everyone!

Hi there...

I noticed a question mark by my name. I'm a DW ( Sonya), travelling with a very shy family. I would love to meet up with everyone in the lounge if I can , and I'll try to convince DH, but he thinks we are all Disney FREAKS!!! ( in the most loving way of course... )so I'll see what happens. That is why I haven't comitted to anything yet. I plan EVERYTHING and do all the research, and well, he just comes along for the ride! Wait until he finds out I booked a stretch limo to get us there!

I too packed up some stuff..... it's getting so close!

 

[lsutigger2]

Hi everyone - I see we're all getting into that packing, finishing up tasks mode.

Sandy: not to be real picky, but my screen name is "L"sutigger, except that I use the lower case "L". lots of people get it confused.

I also have the fe list on an exel spreadsheet if anyone would like to have it that way. I think listing them by cabin number is a great idea - Should make delivery much easier, especially with CKCruising's map.

I have a question: If I pack prepackaged snacks in my checked luggage, will they confiscate it at the port?? I remember last cruise wishing I had a 'salty' type snack and not having any. So I thought I would bring something along this time.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend

Just think, four weeks from today, we'll be sailing

Later,
Janie

Correction noted Janie --- you are not being picky at all - it's your name

I have a question about a great resort to have dinner Friday night before the cruise. We are staying Thursday and Friday at Orange Lake Resort. During the day Friday we are going to hang out at their water park and early afternoon thought we would head for Downtown Disney. Someone on the Boards suggested grabbing a bus to one of the resorts for dinner and riding the monorail. Any suggestions for dinner. Can you see the fireworks or water parade (if they still do that) from the restaurants. Recently we have stayed in the Boardwalk area, so its been a while since I've been to any of the other resorts??? We have done Hop Dee Dee Revue before. We don't want to spend huge money. We will have a rental car. Can the public make reservations at the restaurants without staying on property? We are not going to Disney this time, but thought the kids would love a little taste of Disney before we get onto the ship.

 

[trings]

We will be coming in early on Friday afternoon and are staying at the Radisson at Cape Canaveral..if anyone is interested in having a few drinks to get the trip started..meet us by the pool!

From what I understand, you are allowed to bring food onboard as long as it's in original packaging and sealed. No homemade food. It needs to be like chips still in a sealed bag. Same goes for food you buy at a port of call. You can bring onboard factory sealed containers/food but not opened ones. (Example: If you buy a rum cake, don't open it and eat some of it if you want to the rest back onboard.) And there shouldn't be any problem having sealed food in your checked luggage.
