To set the scene - it is Thursday after days in Manzanillo and Acapulco, mostly cloudy but calm. On deck to take some pictures of the Central American coast as we sail south. There are these brown birds flying along with the ship. Just after I snapped this picture Captain Tom came on the PA and said " .....and, by the way, those brown birds flying around deck 4 and deck 9 are called brown ****ies.....". Poor Captain Tom - the comedians would not let him live that line down - in every show - even the ones who joined us in Curacao made reference to the Captain's comments about brown b_____ies on Deck 9.

mmouse37, I love the way you got that pesky pirate to pose for you! Just kidding! That's a fun pic, nice work!

crzy4magic, I do appreciate your photo of the um.... brown "birdies." This pic brings back great memories!

I'm posting this one of the Welcome Aboard show. You just can't beat the first afternoon/day on the ship. Seeing all my favorite charactors up on stage just gets me going! Disclaimer: No flash was used in capturing the magic of this pic!

MJ, I love the before and after picture of your kids. This will be my kids first cruise, the first of many to come, and I hope they appreciate it and enjoy it as much as your kids do as young adults!

Thank you very much....they really do appreciate the cruise.....but now 2 of them are in college with the third starting in Sept so it will be hard to cruise together again......my hubby and I booked for next october on the magic and I am already hearing that they want to go but can't due to college.

That first pic was taken in 1997 when the maiden voyage of the Magic was supposed to be in March of '98......well it got posponed twice due to ship building delays and the Maiden Voyage of the Magic finally took place on July 30, 1998 with us aboard!.....WDW had a DCL Preview center set up at Main Street and we were able to buy the t-shirts about a year before the ship actually sailed and thought it would be a great Christmas surprise!

We were in Rockin Bar D during the start of the Murder Mystery at Sea and right in the middle of the character's plot story, Captain Tom came on and after his announcement all of Rockin Bar D and the performers were in tears from laughing so much...it was a priceless moment!!!

WHY WON'T MY PICTURE SHOW UP?????

Caropooh...I can't get to the website. It looks like a permission issue. I would love to see the picture, as I want my daughter to do that as well.

mmouse37,

It was great reading your story yesterday. I love how you gave your kids the DCL tees for Xmas. I bet they were so excited!

Speaking of great memories, here's one from the August Repo. My fam filled a jet boat & went zipping around the mangroves of Acapulco. This was a great Disney exursion. It was adventurous and the scenery was neat too.

Trying this one more time before I go too crazy!

Caropooh,

Your girls are really cute! Did they get their hair braided on the ship? In 8/04 my daughters got their hair braided at Blue Lagoon. It was very tight and lasted a long time. I believe it was something like $2 a braid. If they got theirs done on the ship do you mind me asking what the cost was?

Imok,
Thanks for the compliment!
Yes, they got it done on board. It was 2.00 a braid. This was this last July. Kathryn(DD6) actually had hers done twice. She was a bit wiggley the first time, so it wasn't as tight as the braider would of liked it. She told us to come back if it started coming out. By the next day. little wisps were showing. They redid it for free and we actually got 1 or 2 more braids in it. The girls had their braids in for probably a little over a month. I had mine done too and mine was in for about 3 weeks. I should of probaly taken it out the week before though. I think mine came out quicker due to washing my hair every day.
