August 29th, 2009--Eastern Magic...Let's Get it Started!

[My4PhillyGirls]

Hello again,

I hit the ground running with work. School is back is session and Philadelphia is experiencing an increase in enrollment probably because of the economy.

Anywho... The cruise was great. The FE's were amazing. Maybe next time my creative wife will help

I missed the cruise meet somehow. I came by with my daughter a couple of minutes after 3:00 p.m. but couldn't tell the regular cruisers from the DIS group, so me and my youngest DD left.

I caught up with Cigy7 at his cabin to get the bracelets. I meant to get more before the end of the cruise. My DD17 really liked them

The food was better than I remembered it on the Wonder but both our serving teams on the Wonder beat our servers on this cruise hands down.

The shuttle from the Budget rental car took 40 minutes to come on embarkation day and I had to rush to get my photo taken and board with Group 5.

My DD9 won a gift at the CC meet. We were in diversions because of the size of the crowd but had a great time.

Next cruise will probably be in 2011 or 2012 when one of the new ships takes longer than 4 day cruises.

[Cigy7]

Anyone heard from Cigy7 since we got back?

He must still be on the ship pushing a stroller around deck.

The Cignarella's are home safe. We had a great time. We really enjoyed meeting everyone. Although we did the DCL WDW combo backwards. I wish I was still walking with that stroller at least I would still be on the boat. I would have posted earlier but I couldn't afford to pay my internet bill. Not everyone paid for their bracelets Michelle did yours fit okay.

I cant wait to cruise again. Since this was our first cruise we thought DCL did a great job.The only disappointment we had was Palo. We had a very obnoxious table next us. We look forward to another cruise next year. I hope I can coordinate with the TVEPFOX's family for the next one. They seem to be experts on this DCL stuff.

I hope every one was satisfied with their bracelets. Its a could thing I got really soft ones. Those things could have hurt getting hit in the head with them all night.

Got to give give a shout out to Rachel,Matt,Michelle,Eric,Monique and Tim. You all made us feel really comfortable for people who live in Jersey.

I figured you would need a new stroller by now, those wheels were worn out.

Thank you, my bracelet fit just fine, left me plenty of pocket change to buy the table drinks at night or a good cigar. One dollar goes really far on DCL.

Funny, when Mojo, Tim, Eric and I were in Palo I seem to remember the Director of Food and Beverage coming only to my table. He wanted to make sure an important guest such as myself was enjoying my dinning experience! Didn't see him stop at your table. The only thing I saw at your table was your poor wife mortified when you started talking about your "odd" holiday traditions.

My family is excited about cruising again next year too. When that really big ship Liberty of the Seas pulls into port next to the Mickey boat, look me up. I'll give you some tips on replacing stroller wheels.

I hope every one was satisfied with their bracelets. Its a could thing I got really soft ones. Those things could have hurt getting hit in the head with them all night.

Exactly how many bracelets did you order? Did you really think you were going to have that many friends on board? LOL!

It was easy to be nice to Tara, she's a great gal. You on the other hand, the nice TSA agent at the port told us to go easy, he heard there was a guy from Jersey on the ship.

p.s. Tara thanks for the door magnet. How did you know I like to drink?

Um, the lady yelling gimme your money!!! while holding a bottle of champagne in her hand - you would have immediately realized the group if you saw it. We looked like a particularly rowdy game of craps.

Hi everyone,

If anyone videoed the family show hypnotist can you message me and let me know. DH still doesn't believe me that he was Hannah Montana on stage.

Hope to sail with you again soon!
Dawn

Sorry Dawn, I video taped the adult show as my DH and Stepson were on stage for that one, not the family show.

Hello Sharon,

Sorry that I missed you on the cruise. My DW and the adults in our group went to the adult show and had a blast. They had so much fun laughing that I had to remind them that it was late when they came back to the cabins.

My DW says that she remembers DH and Stepson.

Thanks for that link !!!! There was some great info on the site I think but I am not sure Rachel was asking about the ship colors. Quoted from your link

Disney Cruise Line Fun Facts

Uniquely Disney

- The Disney ships are painted in Mickey Mouse-inspired colors – black hull, white superstructure, yellow trim and two giant red funnels, each with the Disney Cruise Line Mickey Mouse logo.

- Disney Cruise Line was the first cruise line to have yellow lifeboats, instead of the traditional regulation orange. Disney was granted special permission from the U.S. Coast Guard to paint the lifeboats yellow, to keep with the special color theming of the ship.

Cigy7,

I know you're new to DCL so I'll give you a pass, this time. Remember, I'm a journalist... rule number one, don't believe everything you read. Seasoned cruisers will tell you.. the hull of the Magic is DARK blue. I think you were there on deck the night I pulled over two crew members and asked them to prove my point.

I know you didn't get to see the hull much or get off the ship since you were pushing a stroller around an enclosed deck for 7 days. You must still be dizzy from going in circles.

 

[TVEPFOX]

OMG!!! We were on page four. Unacceptable! We all need more Disney in our lives.

I just posted on the DIS Unplugged thread.

Disney's A Christmas Carol Train Tour rolled into our town today. Follow this link to my review...

Where is everyone? Are we all back to our regular non-Disney lives? We miss being on the cruise and DD7 keeps asking Dad when we get to get back on the ship My girl!!!!

Hope all is going well with everyone.

Your review looked great. Nice pics. We chose to skip this when it came to Seattle, but now I'm sad we didn't go and see it. It was one of those upper 80 degrees days and couldn't fathom hanging out inside or standing in line. Did tell DH that it would have been great practice for DW

 

[TVEPFOX]

Hello All!

Man, this bunch is quiet when there's nothing to look forward too!! Christmas is only 3 months away, that should strike fear in the hearts of parents!

One month ago today we started our WDW vacation. How sad is that! DH did finally put the suitcases back in the attic! LOL

Any news from anyone? What's happening? Any little souvenirs we should know about or is it too soon to tell? Remember those early DCL commercials?!

Tomorrow DH and I celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary! Where has the time gone? Better question, where did the money go? Oh, I know... DISNEY! We're keeping it low key, we used our two weeks with the mouse as our celebration.

Anyone book anything for 2010 or 2011? My window opened on Monday because we're gold CC members. I hope all your silver folks get what you want if you're booking!! We booked both WDW and DCL for 2010. The rumor mill is working OT, the 4/3 deal might come back for the spring. That would be awesome, we could add another trip to see the mouse!

Rachel, did you find your missing shoes? Did Matt leave yet?

Audrey, where are you????

Mojo, we need to be in Meghan's Bay right now!!!

Joanne, did you go see the Disney train yesterday in Rensselear?

Cigy, did you use the money from the bracelets to buy a new stoller or did you buy a lap dance with all those singles?

I'm begging for some kindness from a lowly silver CC member. I've been patiently waiting for my TA to get back to me, but alas due to I'm sure was a busy Monday, she hasn't gotten a chance. Would you mind TPEFOX calling DCL for me to price out the 8/23/11 Alaska cruise in a cat 4B with 2A/2K(13,10), a cat 5C with 2A and a cat 11B with 2A. We're trying to decide which one would be cheaper. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR KINDNESS!!!!

OMG Woman! We're you sitting on my couch?! I swear my post didn't even refresh and my BB went off with your message!

I can tell you right now which is cheaper, RCCL! LOL!!! I'm sorry, but the rules for being a gold member strickly prohibit us from helping silvers! LOL!!!

Funny haha... I know RCCL would be cheaper, but the little people here like DCL, so I'm stuck. You can't call DCL and get pricing for me pretty please??? I'm not asking you to divulge state secrets......

Have you checked the thread on the main cruise line thread, i think it is the first one. People are posting what they have booked and how much. It is amazing!!! Good luck on Monday.

Hi Michele

I wanted to go to the train, but we got too busy. I figured it was probably
too crowded- it did look like fun though! We talk about our vacation all the time- I have friends going on the Wonder next month and am so jealous!!!
Thankfully, The Toth's will not be announcing any suprise "souvenirs"!! If we ever thought of having kids again, I can just think about that little girl on our flight home!

30 days ago today we were....

all excited because we were on board...

splashing in the pools...

roasting on deck soaking up the sun....

sipping champagne....

and handing out braclets to the crowd....

What the heck happened? Why oh why, can't I be back on that ship today?! I miss my Mickey boat!!
