Aug 17 Western Magic Roll Call

[thebrownboys]

Sixty days to go! Who else is onboard? My sons 7 and 4 would love to know if any other kids their age will be in the clubs with them!
Booking excursions for Grand Cayman today. Reef and Shipwreck snorkeling for ds 7 and myself and one of the sub's for dw and ds 4. We are gonna do Cozumel on our own due to Disney's restriction on ages for some of the trips. Key West we have been to several times and just look forward to showing the boys the things we loved the best!

Woo Hoo we can't wait!!!!!!

 

[Rootee]

It's about time we had a roll call! Just called in our deposit. We have a ds 16, turning 17 on the 27th but will celebrate his birthday onboard.

I "think" the only thing I need to call in is his parasailing on Castaway Cay, and maybe the banana boat. He is not interested in the other teen excursions, although he plans to spent lots of time with the Common Grounds group.

We are planning to go on the Captain Marvins tour on our own and probably will go to Mr. Sancho's beach at Cozumel.

 

[SJCSuzy]

We'll be there. We have a 9yo DS and 5yo DD. Just booked our excursions today- Atlantis sub on Grand Cayman and Dolphin Discovery in Cozumel. I can't believe it's almost here!! See you all soon.

 

[bakmmo]

We will be there I have 2 girls 15 and 13.
We have not totally deceided on excursions yet.
We were on these islands last year and did parasailing in Jamaica.
Looking foward to r & r on Mr. Sanchos' beach.
Hope to see you all there.

We're on that cruise also !! We have a DS 10 and a DS 15. Hoping to hook up with other DISers on the ship. Can we set up a meet ? We'll be wearing our lime green ribbons so look for us. ANYONE GOING TO BE AT RESORTS BEFORE THE CRUISE? ANYONE PLANNING ON
BEING AT THE TERMINAL THE MINUTE IT OPENS FOR NEW GUESTS? WE ARE DRIVING
FROM PA AND WILL BE THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN THE MORNING! THE
EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING.

 

[Minnie's Guy]

There has got to be more DISers out there! Please
respond.

 

[markey]

We will be on board with our 2 grandkids, boy 8 - girl 7. Arriving Monday and staying at the Royal Pacific at Universal until Sat.

 

[GoofyDonald]

Can't wait!!!!!! We are getting sooooooo excited.

 

[markey]

So how many of you booked with DU? I saw from another post that 8 bookings=gift in stateroom. We booked with DU, lets have a count.

 

[Minnie's Guy]

We booked the trip thru our travel agent - she
did get us a GREAT deal. COME ON EVERYONE,
let's make a meeting place early in the day - we
are desparately looking for a 'pal' for our 10 yr. old
son (our teenager can meet people on his own in
Common Grounds). If he could meet someone
early the first day, he MIGHT spend some time in
the LAB (hung with us the last time). We are also
very interested in DISers (we are both obsessed
with these boards).

 

[thebrownboys]

Wow, only 23 or so who have responded. Weird when a roll call for 5/2003 already has over 70 responses!!

Oh well...more room for us to have fun.

Hi! We will be on the Magic 8/17 too! My sons are 12 and 13 and we are going with friends whose sons are 10, 11, and 12. Also friends with girls who are 11, 14 and 15. I know my sons are looking forward to making new friends also! I'm pretty new to these boards. What about the lime green ribbons???? This is our first cruise.

 

[lyndon1]

Hey,

Sounds like things are shaping up well. Our family consisits of two daughters 15 and 10. Both are extremely excited to be on our second Disney cruise. My wife and I hope to meet as many of you as possible. The boards have been such a delight and I don't know about you but the next 55 days are going by so slowly we can't stand it.

We are looking forward to a great cruise and meeting many new friends.

The Girvins

Lyndon, Cathy, daughters Caitlyn and Morgan

Hey everyone.

My grandparents celebrated their 50th anniversery (in January) and have decided to take the whole family on a Disney Cruise to celebrate! There will be 5 girls (counting me) ages 11, 11,13,15 and 17. There will also be 2 boys ages 13 and 15. Of course, the parents and my grandparents will be coming too. We are all VERY excited and can't wait until we leave and can't wait to make new friends.

We'll be looking out for the green ribbons!

See you SOON!

The lime green ribbons: really cool idea
tie a lime green ribbon on anything DISers
might see and you'd be surprised how many
people will come up to you and start chatting
about the boards. I had my lime green ribbon
tied on my backpack strap and have met
a few DISers in the parks. It is so much fun
to start up a conversation with them.
Two weeks ago on one of the resort busses
a very nice family started chatting with me
during our ride to the parks. It is great.
I want to meet all the DISers on this cruise.
Hopefully we will spot them already in the
terminal (we will be there the minute the
doors open). PLEASE just walk up and chat
with Bob and Lucy from PA. Our son Tyler
is hoping to meet some 10 yr. old BOYS (sorry,
not interested in "girls" just yet!) to hang out
with in the lab.

Looks like the boat will have at least 3 from the same area in Pa. on board. pa dutch country, lyndon1, and our group (Manheim) are all from the same area. It really is a small world!

 

[Minnie's Guy]

Maybe we should request an evening of chicken pot pie,
scrapple, funnel cakes and shoo-fly pie!
Markey: we will also be at the Royal Pacific Monday and Tuesday.
Everyone who has responded sounds GREAT - can't wait to
meet everyone!
Machs goot! (my PA Dutch is very limited!)

 

[lyndon1]

Hey,

Add another group from Landisville Pa going on the August 17th Western Cruise. My inlaws, Bob and Sandy will be joining Mickey, Minnie and the gang.

Lets hope Amos Stoltzfus and his family are coming as well.

See ya in 54 days.

We're so excited!!! This is our 1st cruise. I was getting worried that there were no other kids going. I have a DD13 and twin DS9.
I posted a note about 13 year olds and have received no replies.
I'm so relieved to hear about other teen girls. We're so excited. I'm working so hard to decide what excursions to do on Grand Cayman and Cozumel. We were thinking about a stingray tour on GC and possibly a ruins trip on Cozumel. However, Xcaret sounds fantastic. So, I'll continue reading these posts. Donna
