Anyone else on the Magic April 27

[bud624]

Our travel agent told us that it is offered on the ship for people who may have later flights. I think DCL just provides transportation and baggage transfers. I don't think its the typical Disney run trip or excursion. But I think my kids DS9 and DD7 will enjoy it.

Sonya did I miss or you hadn't said yet. But how many in your group, any kids, what ages?

Sorry for jumping in our your thread but I read them all and had to comment on the Kennedy Space Center thing. Wish I was on your cruise...mine is not until Sept 22nd. We are going to Kennedy Space Center on the Saturday before as we leave on a Sunday. Please post details about your visit there as well as the cruise because I am having trouble getting info on all of the tours available there and I'm such a planner I like to know all my options.

Anyway, hope you all have a great trip!

If anyone has a Costco's (bulk warehouse-type shopping). We just picked up a couple sets of kids snorkel, fins, and mask kits. Only $25 each and it had a carrying bag. I also picked up some Absolute for my lemonade by the pool.

I was hoping that in bumping up our thread we might get a couple new people who are cruising the same time.

We're sailing too on 4/27! Two kids DS (5) and DD (2-1/2). We're wait listed for main dining; I'm worried about the late dinner for my small kiddos. I tried a few times to change it at DCL and they told me that travel agent needs to call. She did, and they said that they would fax her if we got on main dining. Anyone want to trade? Ha! One DCL res. agent actuallly told me that people bring blankets for their kids to fall asleep on the floor (second seating) while they eat dinner. Could hardly believe that -- sounds like we'll be missing some dinners.

We are also cruising on the 4/27 Magic and also have late seating. Our ds is a little over 3.... We are waitlisted for early seating but I'm not sure if we will be able to get the early seating... There was a post a while ago with the pro's and con's of early/late seating.... From that post, I won't be terribly disappointed if we keep the late seating because other parents wrote that it was good to be able to see the early shows and then have dinner.... Someone also wrote that the late seating sometimes works better if you are trying to keep your kids on your time-zone schedule (we are from the central time zone so eating at 8:30 is really like eating at 7:30 - not so bad) and I think we might jump forward an hour in St. Martin and St. Thomas (?)....

Our family is really looking forward to our cruise - counting the days.......

It must be my pregnant hormonal brain..I dreamed we missed the boat because my husband was waiting to get a sandwhich at the airport! I remember yelling at him, you can eat on the boat..I was so MAD! LOL!

 

[bud624]

Michellendean, make sure your husband packs a sandwich for the trip.

 

[MICHELLENDEAN]

4 Days and 20ish hours to go....how will I sleep????

 

[bud624]

Is there anyone else out there cruising the Magic April 27th. I'm surprised that this is all.

 

[tony3331]

just had to get more luggage think we are packing to much almost ready to hit the road

 

[kritters4]

Well everyone, we're leaving Thursday night and staying 2 days at WDW before our cruise. These boards have helped me so much, I don't think I could be more prepaired (or at least I hope so!!) Wishing everyone a safe flight or drive to Florida. Let's all have the vacation of our lives!!

 

[tony3331]

car is waxed and ready see all of you on the ship

 

[MICHELLENDEAN]

Our kids will be snoring together!
We also have a 2 year old and have the late seating on the same cruise 4/27! The only thing I thought would be good about the late seating was the kids will be awake for the earlier show. I figured I would take her to eat around 5ish ...then see the show, then play dinner by ear..unless we end up packing it up and eating in our room! I hope she'll hold out.
But I'm kinda going with NO expectations..(like believing she won't stay alone at Flounders)..but maybe we'll get lucky and with all the other kids around they'll be entertained??? Good luck! and see ya!
