PPFQP...

Thank you so much for the recommendation of The Perfect Gift. I called and they are doing Easter Sand Pails this year - so I ordered one of those. It will be perfect for Castaway Cay! The lady I spoke with, Rebecca, was really nice and helpful!

Great Info all around! Easter a week early sounds like a great idea! I also LOVE the idea of the Easter Pail for CC. This is our first year of non-believing - so I still need to have a little something on Easter morning (more for me than them I suppose-lol!)... Kelli-maybe our guys will link up at the Club (my DS 11 turning 12 in May)

Anyone have any info about church services - Time?

Welcome. I have 2 daughters (twins) that are 14. Well, they will be. They turn 14 a few days before the cruise.

What grade is your 14-year-old in?

My boys would love to meet your son before the cruise by emailing. They have done this several times on our past cruises and have enjoyed making that connection before even boarding. Let me know if your son would be interested and I'll PM you with my email address. My sons names are Ryan (11) and Griffin (12).

Glad you could join us!

I was wondering if any of you booked a "Guaranteed" stateroom? If so have you received your cabin # yet? A few people posted that are sailing the week before us that they have received theirs so I was just wondering.

Welcome Princess Row! What a great girl trip for all your girls. My DD's will be thrilled that there are more girls around their age going on the cruise.

I didn't know we had to make reservations for the shuttle from the Radisson to the terminal. Need to do that tomorrow! We haven't decided if we are going to celebrate Easter early, but it is definitely something to consider.

37 days and counting...

I just called the Radisson last night to make shuttle reservations and we were able to get on the first shuttle leaving at 10am. When I told the girl who answered the date she said we had our choice of times. They run shuttles every 30 min from 10am until 2pm. You shouldn't have any trouble.

Our docs should arrive soon. On our other three Magic cruises, the docs came about 4 weeks out. That is when you get the cabin assignments, I believe if you booked gty.

Thank you soooo much. I thought we couldn't make shuttle reservations until we checked in. We will see you on the 10am shuttle.

Hi Grumpymom73...we are a "Guaranteed" stateroom and I was told a few days ago by Disney that I would not receive our stateroom # until we check in at the terminal. I was very disappointed! I know others have gotten theirs earlier, but I don't have high hopes that we will get it before we arrive. We'll see what happens. I check my reservation everyday! If we are assigned a #, I will let you know!!!!!!!!!!

That sounds like a great idea - I'm sure David would love to exchange emails prior to sailing... I'll wait for your PM... thanks!

[Grumpymom73]

anjiellisvt- Yeah! We'll see you on the shuttle!!

Had2disneycruz- Yikes! I don't know if I can wait that long either! I booked this cruise in one of those 5am moments of weakness and I thought I had chosen a confirmed stateroom but when I rechecked my confirmation a few days later I noticed it said GTY. I'm a little disappointed since I really like the location of the cabin I thought we reserved. Oh well, I guess we will just wait and see what happens. Anywhere on the Magic is better than home.

We booked a catergory 12 GTY and we were assigned to 2153 today! It's a cat 10 which is great. It is the last room in deck 2 aft, so it may be a little noisy, but we're from NYC so we're used to noise. YAY!

Congrats on the upgrade!!!

My reservation was driving me crazy because I know I picked our stateroom when I booked online. I called DCL and they confirmed our cabin. I guess I did do it right! We are still in a Cat 11 but I love our location. So I'm all happy.

Counting down the days!!

 

[Had2disneycruz]

Hi everyone! Thanks to all your great info, I also got us on the first shuttle from the Radisson AND I checked our ressies and we were upgraded too! We were upgraded to Cat 11 on Deck 6 and we are side by side! (Party of 6!) We will be close to the other families we are traveling with!!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Julie, you have one of those sideways rooms that are supposed to be bigger than regular Cat.10 rooms and you have the split bathroom.....congrats!!!!!!!!

Is it 36 to go???

Looks like the 10am shuttle will be all Dis'rs.

35 DAYS WOO HOOO!!!!

 

[Aunt T to 2]

This is my first Disney Cruise and first vacation with my Sis in a long time! I am way too excited to be spending it with my 2 neices (13 & 9) and the other families...never been so glad to be a 5th wheel!

 

[Grumpymom73]

Aunt T to 2- Sounds like you will have a great time.

It's seems like there will be lots of girls on the ship. Any boys? My DSs are 15 and 10.

Wow, I can't believe we are only 5 weeks away!!!
