April 6 Magic

[plutojudy]

We are cruising on the April 6, Magic for our 37 th anniversary. Are you on our cruise?

 

[two4ruff]

We are!!

It will be our 14th anniversary and our family's first cruise (2 boys ages 7 & 10)

Since discovering this forum, my nights have been filled with dreams of secret portholes, dinner rotations, snorkeling, midnight desserts, and on and on....

It just can't get here fast enough!

Maybe we'll see you on board - we'll be the ones in awe of it all!

We're going on April 6th Magic for our first cruise with DD's ages 7 and newly 5.

Everyone's really excited..esp...obsessive compulsive me!

Hi all fellow cruisers on Magic's April 6th cruise.
My Mother, Daughter 17 and I will also be cruising on that date and would love to meet up with all of you. I had posted a 'whose sailing' a couple of weeks ago but I guess it was still early yet, though we did hear from JIll ( Two4ruff). Is any one interested in a Dis meet on board? I would love to have a meet if any one is interested.

Hi -

I'm not on your cruise, but I made this countdown timer for my friend, Wenabre and her family, and they're on your cruise.

The Countdown Timer is a java applet and will dynamically count down the days, hours, minutes, and seconds to your cruise.

It's set for 5pm on April 6, 2002, the official embarkation time, and when the Magic usually pulls out of port.

Let me know if there are any problems with the timer.

<APPLET CODEBASE="http://www27.brinkster.com/allanbiats/" CODE="BeanCounterDate.class" WIDTH=262 HEIGHT=200>
<param name="date" value="6 Apr 2002 17:00:00">
<param name="display" value="days, seconds">

Enjoy your cruise! There are a lot of us that wish we could join you. My personal timer has a much higher count than this one!

Albiats: I love it!!

The countdown continues....thanks!

[wenabre]

... for his countdown clock. Its great !!

 

[wenabre]

none of you guys have answered if you are interested in a DIS meet on board, anyone interested? I will look really silly sitting somewhere like Deck 7 aft, or in a lounge talking to myself, by myself. So how about a DIS meet!!

 

[cjhardin]

Sure...I'll need details as we're first timers

It's me, husband and DD's ages 5 and 7 yrs.

Only 6 weeks to go, anyone starting to get excited yet?
I thought for the DIS meet we should make it on Sunday morning around 11am or in the afternoon around 2pm. I thought the first day might be a bit too crazy with people running around getting their bearings and booking things or the usual heads bent in all directions saying " OOOH and AAAHH and WOW"!!

So if anyone has any ideas of another time, please post them here and we can all decide together.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Wenabre

that I received our tickets yesterday, which makes it seem even closer!! Anyone else have theirs?

[two4ruff]

I'm jealous...haven't seen ours yet!

We are spending a week at WDW before the cruise so we only have 5 weeks until our "great escape" - is it too early to begin packing??

There was 2 inches of snow here today, I'm ready for some sun!

Jill

 

[wenabre]

You're jealous?.....a whole week at WDW before the cruise....I'm jealous! Where will you be staying? We will have one night at the Swan and Dolphin before ours. I didn't want to take my DD out of school for too long a time as she is in a semestered system and missing a day is like missing a week. The only reason we are even coming down a day before is our airline couldn't get us into Orlando till 4pm on the Saturday. Are you planning on any excursions? I believe you said that this was your first cruise? Its our second, we did the Wonder in Dec 2000 and loved it so much that we deceided to do another only longer! I know you are going to love it!

Our docs are waiting for us to pick them up at Fed-Ex today. We were at work when Fed-Ex came. Went home for lunch and missed him by less then ten minutes. We will pick them up after work. Now it will really feel real.

Hi, this will be our family's first cruise! We are a big group with DDs 12, 7, 4, and DS 11. Love to find out who has kids our ages. Our pre-teen daughter especially! We're counting the days until we set sail to the beautiful carribean!

 

[two4ruff]

Wenabre-
We are staying "econo" at the Comfort Suites...saving all the money for the cruise! (Actually, my husband is in the Air Force and Disney has been very generous to the military right now with some great discounts)

No real excursions planned...just some beach combing on each island, my kids have never seen the ocean! They have been covered up all winter with hockey gear so they will probally go into sun shock the first day!

Still no documents yet...

Can we speed up that countdown clock??

Jill

 

[wenabre]

First answer, no you can't speed up the countdown clock, because even though this trip has been booked since Jan 3/01, I am still not organized...and to boot, we are under construction bathroom wise one should be finished this week and the powder room gets started next week, oh the joys of dry wall dust everywhere!!

Hi bweppner, I think this is the first time you have posted on this thread. I have been trying to talk everyone into a Dis meet onboard for the Sunday, are you interested? As everyone is mentioning their kids and ages, I will as well. The first Disney Nut Kid is over 70, oops thats my Mom....my Disney ( Tigger Nut Supreme ) Daughter is 17 ( 18 in June ) and I am a Disney Mom who is.....happy to meet you all!!

 

[plutojudy]

BUMP

 

[two4ruff]

FINALLY got our docs today!!

Guess the pony express runs pretty slow out here in the mountains!

NOW I think I'll dust off the suitcases....
