4/26/03 ....who is going?

[disneylandfamily]

We'll be there too on the 4/26/2003 Western! It will be me, DH, DD (13), DD (11) and DS (8). We have done 2 other disney cruises. We did the 4 day in 1998 and the 7 day Eastern in 2001. We can't wait. (I say we....but we are suprising the kids with this one!!!). Can't wait to see you all there.

Ok...with only 255 days until we cruise (is it really that long?) there must be more than 20 of us going. Let us know so we can all get excited about our "Magical Cruise" together!!!

Has anyone thought about the excursions they plan on doing?

Our thoughts are going towards spending those port hours lounging by the pool on board!! I guess we will HAVE to set foot on each dock at least - to say we were there!!

I think we may try to see the turtle farm and perhaps do a tram or something in Key West. But I think we will wait to make any decisions until we can see what the weather is going to be at each port!

My Mom called today to let me know that she has sent dresses for the girls to wear for formal night! I had mailed her a pattern for Belle, Cinderella and Snow White dresses! She sounds like she had a ball finding material and sewing them. I can't wait to see them!

Of course, now that she has had a "dry run" she saw improvements she can make "next time!" She is ready to try again! She's 85 years old! WOW, I hope I have half her energy when I reach 50!!

Beth....I will be looking for you and your girls in their dresses on formal night. The dresses sound adorable as I am sure your girls are. You are so lucky to still have such an active and involved mom. I lost my mom last year when she was only 64yo....so saddens me to know my two girls did not have much time with her.
I would be very content to stay on board the ship in port....just love the quiet time.

What a great idea for formal night! Just last night we bought a "Belle" dress for DD4 (Christmas shopping has begun!). I believe DW also bought the white gloves for her, too!

Excursions: Hmmm. Last year we really didn't do any excursions, except a trip to Magens Bay on our own. Does anyone have any suggestions that would include DD5?

Right now it's so hot in the Northeast that all I can think about is a cool, refreshing "Konk Cooler"!

 

[Jillie]

Sounds like your little "Belle" will be adorable, especially with her gloves! Sometimes wish my DD14 and DD11 were still little and could/would wear those cute little costumes.

Think a Konk Kooler sounds perfect right about now...the Northeast is like a sauna right now!

 

[beschultz]

Hey Jillie, Maybe you could get them to dress up as Sully and Mike from Monsters, Inc. There are some great adult costumes!!

And you are so right about the heat wave - I am ready for a couple of feet of snow about now!

Count us in too!

We were also on the Magic Fire Cruise this past March 9th with Pluto's Pup. Myself (DH 41), DW (36) and DS (6) will be there ready to party hard!

Anyone else besides Pluto's Pup on the Fire Cruise too?

Hi Everyone !!

We will also be on the 26/4/03 Magic Cruise. We, includes myself and my Mother, my DD age 18 and my DBM ( Daughter by marriage) age29. My DBM has only been once to Disneyland when she was 6 so this will be her first time at WDW and the Cruise and she is already so excited. We did the last Disney cruise in April this year and we held a DIS meet on the Sunday afternoon and had a great time getting to know people. It was very nice after the meet to be able to wave and talk to people you met, later on during the week.
Hope to meet some of you on board!

Only 8 months from today we'll be on our way!

johnf...Did you book another veranda cabin? We booked the same cabin as last time 6512 (cat 8/porthole).

 

[Jillie]

Okay....we are at 223 days and counting....who else is going?? I was watching "A Wedding Story" yesterday and a couple was on another cruise line but when they were in port you could see the Magic right next to it! That got me wishing I was on board right now!

 

[johnf]

Pluto's Pup,

Yes...We booked the same cabin as last time - 6600. After the last cruise, we would NEVER book again without the verandah. We all really loved having coffee and early breakfast out there before going to the REAL breakfast.

The one down side to this trip is that we already know the ship, and what goes on. It won't be as new and exciting. At least it will be all new ports, DS 6 will be a year older (and hopefully better behaved and more excited about the kid's club).

We are all looking forward to it! This time though, we are planning on doing Discovery Cove the day before in Orlando so that we can REALLY be in the mood!

Can't wait!

Before you know it we'll be on the high seas!

 

[Jillie]

I cannot wait until we are under 200 days....I am really looking forward to this cruise!! We were not able to book the same cabin as last year so we are in 8052 this time. I hope it is as great as 8558 was last year.

 

[Jillie]

Come on people....we are now under 200 days (197 to be exact) until we leave on our "MAGICAL" vacation and I know there must be more of us out there...so let us know who you are, where you are from, etc.

 

[Jillie]

We are getting buried way back in the posts. Lets get some excitement going here...we are only 178 days from sailing off on our "MAGICAL" adventure!! Is there anyone else going with us? Let us know who you are!!

 

[saturday97]

I already posted, but I'll contribute to drumming up some excitement!! We now have some friends joining us as well. I can't wait for this cruise, it's a dream come true!

 

[plutospup]

As I watch our first snowfall of the season, I can dream of a warm sandy beach, plenty of sunshine, and a Konk Cooler by my side. ...and it will come true in less than 6 months!

We'll be joining you on the 4/26/03 western. It will be Me, DH, DD 15, DS 13, DB and DSIL. My DB and DSIL just got back last week from a Disney Land and Sea Honeymoon. We were on the Magic November 2001 for the Eastern. We are all so excited. Can't wait, I don't know what I would do if I could not get my Disney fix everyday on the dis boards.
