Anyone else on the Magic April 27

[52plan4]

We were wondering who else would be joining us on our first ever cruise..the excitement is running very high around our house and we still have over 2 months to wait,but that doesn't seem too bad since we booked over a year ago.We will be celebrating birthdays for 2 of our children on the ship-DD4 and DS11 and also cruising will be DS12,Hubby and the most excited of all me!
Anyone else for April 27??

We will be on the April 27 Magic to celebrate our anniversary. We were scheduled to go on a cruise for our honeymoon, but at the last minute it got cancelled, so I have been waiting seven years for this!!! It will be myself, DH, and DS- 3 years old. I can't wait.

We will be on the April 27 Magic cruise! DH, me, DD7, DS5 (almost 6 at time of cruise), and DS (15 months). And we are bringing our live in sitter because she is from Latvia, here only 1 yere, and I wanted her to be able to experience the wonderful cruise! Yes it's costing me quite a bit because not only am I paying for a second room for her, but I have to pay full adult price for one of the kids!

It's our 6th cruise, but only 2nd on Disney. We went almost 3 years ago on the 4 day land/3 day sea on the Magic. It was really great, and I have the most wonderful pictures from that vacation. You guys are going to LOVE Castaway Cay.

Hope there are more going on 4/27/02!!!

Hi ! DW, DH , and our DD 13, and DS10 will also be on the April 25th Magic....and we can't wait!! Our familys first time cruising so we are all very excited. Hey 52plan4, maybe we can introduce our DS's!?

 

[Mom23chicklets]

This is the first time I'm taking the kids out of school, and I see that you all have school age kids too. What are you going to say to the teachers/principal? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. (We can meet on board and discuss how it went!!)

Counting down the days till 4/27!

 

[52plan4]

It's great to see more April 27 cruisers!
Mom23chicklets-I actually don't have to worry about the kids missing school as mine are on a three week break,however,I would not hesitate to pull them out of elementary school for the cruise.It's a great life experience that they sure can't get in a classroom,maybe your kids could keep a little journal/scrapbook to share with their class when they get home.If I were their teacher, all I would require is that you buy an Xlarge suitcase for me to stow-a-way in
Kritters4-We should introduce our DS's and my boys have expressed an interest in meeting your DD as well My DS12 will try to sign up for Common Grounds,he's always enjoyed kids a bit older, but I'm sure he'll have a great time wherever he ends up
Bunny- Happy anniversary,I imagine our 3yr olds will have some fun together in the kids club
Have you guys decided on your excursions yet?I know we can book those pretty soon here and I'm still deciding,DS12 and I think the 12 Metre Regatta sounds great,as does the Golden Eagle Catamaran Hmmm decisions decisions.In St. Thomas we will probably rent a car and tour St. John on our own. I'm so glad we no longer have to wake up so early and do immigration first thing in St. Thomas Wow and we can now get the girls hair braided right on the ship too! The news just keeps getting better and we still have 73 days left before we go(but who's counting )
Well let's hope that the April 27 cruise will truly be magical for all of us

So far besides our family, we have bunnies chicks and kritters,I think maybe I should change my screen name to fit in a little better!

 

[52plan4]

Please post on this thread and introduce yourselves-bud624 and anyone else for April 27...

 

[52plan4]

We seem to have a couple of threads going for us April 27 cruisers ,thought I would move this thread up since we have more people listed here,let's just add to it-Welcome aboard to all

 

[52plan4]

Today in Colorado temperatures are in the single digits,negative 15 with the wind chill,and I just booked our excursions-12 Metre Regatta and Banana-boat ride
Ain't life grand

 

[bud624]

This looks like a good thread to me to keep rolling for all of the April 27th Magic cruisers.

I apologize for repeating myself, but ..... My family is myself (Bob 38), DW (Courtney 37), DS (Christian 9, he will be 10 a month after the cruise, so I think he'll get along well with the other boys in this thread), DD (Alyssa 7).

WE can't wait. Anyone doing the Golden Eagle?

 

[joellen2]

We are going on the April 27th Magic (DH, DS/almost 5, and me.) It will be our first Disney cruise. Last August we were on the Carnival Triumph. My son loved the kids' program there, so I know we will probably never see him on the Disney cruise. These message boards are great!

 

[52plan4]

Looks like we have 6 excited families on our cruise list so far
-Bud624-We almost booked the Golden Eagle Catamaran,I've heard it's great! We ended up deciding on the 12 Metre Regatta because this was an opportunity we won't get anywhere else.Bet we'll both have a blast!Maybe we can compare notes afterwards.
I am hoping to maybe do the Western Caribbean next year and do a catamaran excursion then

[Mom23chicklets]

Navy Chief,

Congratulations on 20 years! Quite an achievement! inkbounc

 

[52plan4]

Does anyone know if the celebrations in St. Martin (Queens Birthday)will affect excursions/shopping on the island.
I know this celebration takes place April 30, the day we are in port but I really don't know what the celebration involves- Hopefully just a whole lotta fun

 

[bud624]

I listed this on the other thread, but we are traveling with two other families.

DH + DW 36, and DS 9, DD 8

Also DH + DW 35 DD 10, DS 6

Hopefully this list grows.

 

[tony3331]

just got on board today DH DW DS8 DS11 FIRST CRUISE FOR US REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS TRIP HERD SO MANY GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE DISNEY CRUISE SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF FUN WERE STARTING OUR ADVENTURE 4/25 DRIVING FROM NEW YORK (DO NOT LIKE TO FLY) SO KEEP IN TOUCH EVERYONE SEE YOU SOON .

 

[Mom23chicklets]

Hey Tony3331! We are fellow New Yorkers too and going on the 4/27 cruise! Good luck with the drive. I considered it but decided to bag the idea because of 2 reasons. 1) we have a 16 month old, and 2) I'm already taking my older 2 out of school for a week, couldn't live with the guilt of extending that to more time! As it is, I'm not quite sure what to say to the teachers but I'm meeting with them on 3/15.

Hello Everyone !

We also will be on the Magic on 4/27. We are traveling in a group of five families with ages ranging from 4 to 52. This is the first cruise for most of us so the excitement is running high to say the very least especially as the big day draws nearer. I am so thankful that a friend referred me to these message boards. The only bad thing about them is that they are so addicting!! Look forward to seeing you all.
