Hey old friends!! (or at least those of you still here who remember me!??!). Just wanted to wish you all a safe journey. Looks like some "interesting" weather out there.

Bon Voyage to all!

I am sad to not be with you all. I just returned from SSR yesterday and talked to some folks that are taking the cruise with you guys. Hope you all have a Wonderful and Magical time and hope to see you on some future cruise!

Headed,, off to bed see ya all really soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have not been followingthe weather very closely - had a busy time here in Vegas these past couple of days - but I noted some mention somewhere of the tropical storms in the USVI and BVI. Hope this does not adversely effect your port rotation or overall voyage.

At any rate - we'll be wishing you smooth sailing and pleasant sunsets for the next week!

Tom--from what I have heard the 8-15 sailing is going to the Western Caribbean, not the Eastern because of the weather. I also heard it might turn into a double dip CC cruise. I guess we will find out more later when someone posts.

Tom--I found this info on another thread, I trust everyone is enjoying their 8-15-09 Magic Mystery Cruise.

We're on the Magic now. We are doing a modified Western Caribbean itinerary. We did Castaway Cay today (Sunday), have a day at sea tomorrow, then have Grand Cayman and Cozumel on Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday is a sea day and Friday is a mystery day. If Ana and Bill allow us, we'll have a double dip at Castaway Cay on Friday. Otherwise, it will be Key West. Seas have been fine thus far and the weather today has been great. The captain advised that Thursday sailing could be interesting. We'll share more when we get back. The only downside has been the absolutely amateurish handling of shore excursion rebookings. Certainly not what we would have expected from Disney. Dinner rotations have been modified, too. Our PLAPLAP became PLAAPLA, with the Golden Mickeys on night 3 and pirate night on night 5.

I have made it home!!!!!

It is so great to be home in some ways BUT...I already miss the ship, all the friends we made, Leo (our incredible server) and just being wrapped up in the magic of Disney!

I hope to get my photos uploaded in the next couple of days and start some sort of summary/trip report.

Kristin - Have loads of fun at Disney! Hope you were able to get all of the "goodies" from last night to the resort today - can't wait to hear how it all goes there!

Ahhh...I am glad that Bruce is relaxing a bit! Hopefully you are taking it easy as well!

How are the parks?

Flight home was fine - we were delayed about 30 minutes and were a bit worried that we were going to get "busted" for too much being carried on the plan - the worse was that Ben felt a bit of the motion of the plane and was not happy for much of the flight. Never thought to give him motion sickness for the flight!

We are headed to bed...I am excited about sleeping in my own bed tonight...plus, I am going to totally sleep in!

We are home as well! The drive home wasn't too bad except for the delay in Ga for road work! We had a great time on the cruise. Sorry I didn't get to meet everybody. Giraffemom was my tablemate and we all got along great!

The boys got along great.
Kristin-I agree about Cozumel, it was just ok. I had been there before and wasn't impressed. But, hey at least we had great weather on the cruise.

Andrew, has already started a trip report.

Yes cross refer to trip report.

I saw a few of you, with apologies to those I didn't talk to, some of you I saw but you were always busy, at dinner, or in Palo, thank you for the gifts left on my door/ cabin.

VERY KIND, we did have to take the letters for our names down as two teenage boys persistent in changing it to a rude word. We know who it was.

I found time was just 'gone' cramming everything into two sea days rather than three, we dropped a number of things due to that, but with the room, and the kids refusung to leave it, we didnt get around much.

The kids meet seemed to go well with some freindships made.
