Chriss I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. I tried to talk the family into Universal this trip but the kids really want to stick to Disney. I think it will be better for us in a few years when our youngest is a little older.

I'm getting very excited about this cruise. I just read a thread speculating on the Magic drydock, I'm excited to hear what they are going to do

Hello everyone. We just got off of the Fantasy 7 night Western and had a great time. We have been on the Magic a couple of times and were excited to check out the changes they are going to be making. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Traveling with me will be my DW and my two DS ages 16 and 13 at the time of the cruise. Also, my parents and in-laws will be on the trip and another family of 4 friends of ours. The more we cruise and go to WDW the more people we keep getting to go with us

I looked through and didn't see one so I created a Facebook Page for our cruise if you would like to join. We had so much fun on the last one getting to know each other and sharing pictures. I also am posting under the files section the Tips/good to know things from the last cruise that people had added to. Feel free to comment and/or add to this.

Awesome, I just joined it. I'll get your info in the header. We just landed at home after getting back from Disney so I'm a bit behind

 

[MarineFam]

That's great. We just got home not long ago from the Fantasy. We had a great time and rebooked for the Dream but got home and heard about the changes on the Magic and just had to get back on and see it in person so we Jumped ships We had a group of 10 on the Fantasy and WDW and this time it is looking like it will be at least 12 because my parents are going too.

We are going to fly in on the 16th (Wed) and stay at Animal Kingdom Villas until the Cruise to do some Disney and then after for a day or two.

Hi all we too were on the April13th 2013 sailing of the Fantasy. We are looking forward to checking out the Magic with the new additions.

Hello All!! We are joining you all on the Magic for some Magic! This will be our first Magic cruise. It will also be our 4th (and 5th) Disney cruise. We have sailed the Wonder, Dream and Fantasy...so, Four Trips and Four Ships!

After doing a 7-night, I really want to continue with 7 night sailings, so we are doing a B2B and will stay on the Magic for the 4/25/14 sailing.

Looking forward to chatting it up with you all this year! We met some of you already on the 4/13/13 sailing of the Fantasy, so it wil be nice re-connecting and meeting new friends! We are on the FB page, too and want to participate in the FE.

I'm Karen, turning 40 just before we sail, my DH is John (44) and we have a DS(14) and DD(11).

Hi Karen! You guys are close to our ages and its nice to see another 11 year old on board. I'm looking for some 11 year old boys though. I'm just getting used to my son being 10, its hard to think about him being 11! I added your info the header.

 

[ForMyBoys]

Don- I hope you had a blast in Disney!

We had a great time Visited all 4 parks, Blizzard Beach and Disney Quest. Here are a couple of pics.

The girl in the last pic is my friends daughter. She tagged along with us on Friday when her mom was at a conference at Disney (they live in FL). She's the same age as my son and we had a lot of fun w/ her along. They were staying at the Yacht and Beach club so it was also nice to meet them there and take the boat over to Epcot. It was a real treat!

Wow, I never thought there'd be a thread for this already, lol.
We just got off our first DCL (and only 2nd cruise ever, first being over 10 years ago) a couple weeks ago - the 3 nt. Bahamas cruise on the Dream and we haven't booked this one just yet, but I'm 99% sure we will be doing it soon. Stupid me didn't take advantage of the onboard booking It was just such a short cruise and I kept meaning to get over there, but just didn't have even a minute to squeeze it in.

My kids are ODS (9.5) and YDD (5.5). I wasn't sure how they'd feel about a cruise so that's why we started with the 3 night, with 6 nights at the parks first and O!M!G! they LOOOVED it! LOVE! Overnight DH went from rolling his eyes at my Disney fanatacism to becoming a DIE-HARD DIsney cruise fan, lol. He was SO, SO impressed with the ship, I can't even express how impressed he was. He wants to never go anywhere else again, ever, except on disney cruises.

So I originally was thinking about the 5 nt caribbean on the Wonder next april because I wanted 5 nights, and I wanted something other than the Bahamas since we just did it, but then the announcement about the Magic refurb came out and I had to change my mind when I saw the new slides b/c my kids will LOVE those. And I think they will be disappointed with the slides on the Wonder after having been on the Dream, kwim? I just wish it was 5 nights instead of 4.

Next year we will forego a WDW vacation because it will be easter week and no way in heck am I fighting those crowds. But I might add on a couple nights after the cruise at US since we didn't get to US this year.

Oh my lord, I'm so excited to find this thread. I've descended into severe PDD (Post Disney Depression) since being back and this might help.

I am so excited about the Magic changes!!! One of the reasons I almost booked the dream was because of the slides. But seeing the two new slides and a Marvel Avengers Academy is awesome. My older two boys are HUGE marvel fans. And of course my youngest loves toy story so that new play room is great too. I can't wait for this cruise!!!


Don, Happy Anniversary!!! 45 years, WOW! Hubby and I will celebrate 17 years this Aug. Where does the time go!

I've seen a lot of action on the FB page. I'm not a big FB poster, more a lurker.. so hopefully this thread will see a bit more action too.
