December 11, 2004 Eastern cruise thread

[cruisenewbie2004]

but which boat is this cruise? The Magic or the Wonder? I thought it was the Wonder?

I told you it was dumb!

And someone posted on the other board that the Magic if more formal than the Wonder in terms of dining room dress. That's fine with me as I like to dress up. But is this even true?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

My family is also going on the 12/11 cruise. I'm glad I saw this last post. I tried searching a few weeks ago for 12/11, but didn't search for December 11--should have know better.

We are DVC owners, but this will be our first cruise. I'm hoping it will be a celebration of me finally finishing my dissertation. My chair told me it "looks like you'll be done by then and will get to do the cruise." I told him I was going even if I wasn't done.

My family is:
DH Richard (56)
Me Wendy (37 on 12/14) and
DS Max (5 at the time of the cruise)

We are all really excited. We are staying at BWV the week before the cruise with my parents and my sister's family. They leave then to go home (San Diego) and we go to the cruise.

I'm so excited it is hard to concentrate on anything else. I'm sure you all know the feeling.

Welcome M's_girl and family!

Welcome to the Dec. 11th trip on the MAGIC!
My ds will be 6 on the cruise. Perhaps your ds might like to exchange pictures or something with my son. We've been on 2 other Disney cruises so my son knows his way around the club and loves to go and stay awhile!

That sounds great. My son is a little shy at first but then warms up pretty fast. We are in La Mesa--right next door to San Diego and Max loves to send and get mail.

Hi all!
I officially changed from this cruise to the 12/10/05 cruise!! I hope you all have a magical time....and I am anxiously awaiting next year....our daughter will be three and our new baby will be around 11 months!! I did change from a cat 9 to a 6....I figure we have an extra year to pay for it. And hopefully Fl resident rates will come out late next year.....


Please send me lots of pixie dust that this is a healthy baby!!!

 

[Ratt45]

Lillygator, we will miss you for sure. Have a great time on your cruise, I know you will.

Everyone, in 2 weeks we get to do the double digit dance!!!!

lillygator-
Prayers and lots of pixie dust on a healthy and happy pregnancy and baby.

My "baby" is now 11 months and when I think that at this time last year I was still pregnant(and loving it) it brings home again how quickly time really does fly. I make it a point to find joy in each and every day with each of my "babies", even during those times it seemed they would never sleep through the night. What a blessing children are!

Happy cruising next year!!

Prayers go out to you lilygator for an uncomplicated pregnancy and the smooth delivery of a healthy baby.

Hello all,


I seen the various threads regarding pirate vs. tropical dress on current cruises. My ?. If the pirate theme stays, how many of you are going to try to dress pirate vs. tropical with pirate touches?

Since I bought my entire family matching Disney tropical wear several months ago, I am thinking about just adding pirate touches to our tropical dress, i.e. the bandanas that DCL seems to be giving out, eye patches, etc, but I am wondering what others on our cruise are thinking about this subject.

Also, I read on the boards that DCL might be considering switching St. Maarteen for San Juan as a permanent change. Does anyone know anymore info on this?

I meant to ask these questions, here to you all traveling on the December 11, 2004 cruise, but instead of posting a reply, I accidently started a new thread. Oops!!!!


Thanks to all.

 

[Disneyfan37]

I bought a tropical dress and dh has a tropical shirt,so we are sticking to that.

I would love it if they changed St Maarten to San Juan.San Juan is great.I haven't been back there since 84,and I surely want to go back.I haven't heard them doing this at least not from DCL.I called DCL when someone posted it on here,and they informed me that nothing had been changed yet.

Hello Everybody! My kids are really excited about the possibility of a Pirate's night. DS dressed up as Jack Sparrow for Halloween last year. I sewed braids with beads on a red "bandana" for him. We'll be sure to bring it if it sounds like the Pirate thing is for real. I think most people will still be wearing tropical clothes that night, since it is a "Caribbean" pirate party.

I hadn't read about the possibility of going to San Juan instead of St. Maarten. I liked St. Maarten, but wouldn't mind missing it - I'd rather seen San Juan. How likely do you think this is?

I was glad that resort codes for everybody finally came out. We are staying at WDW for 3 nights before the cruise and then for 4 nights after the cruise. Anyone else also going to WDW?

Hello everyone.

Have been working a lot of overtime the past few weeks; and have had company to boot. So I haven't been on line very much.

Pirate night instead of Tropical night? Sounds interesting; but I have a nice dress to wear for Tropical night so I think I'll go with that.

I thought DCL was trying out San Juan and some other island to see if they wanted to go there in the future. Could be wrong.

Have to go check out the rest of the threads I've missed.

Everyone have a great weekend. In just a few days we'll be in double digits!

Fran,We have missed you.Hope things start settling down for you.I am with right behind you I already had bought a tropical dress for tropical night,so I am sticking to it.We did manage to go shopping today as JcPenney's was having 75 percent off on a lot of stuff.We did get some things.I still would like to get a new bathing suit before cruise.but I am not having any luck finding one.

At this point,I don't care where we go aslong as I am on the Disney Magic relaxing having a great time.I do prefer San Juan,but I have never been so St Maarten.It will just be great to just be cruising.

Everyone have a great weekend!Yes,double digits finally in a few days!

Maria

 

[SQUIGGLE]

I agree. I'll be happy to go whever the Magic takes me. Where did the San Juan talk come from? Is this a definte change? I've missed a lot of threads in the past two weeks.

Happy Sunday

fran

 

[Disneyfan37]

San Juan came about due to one of the threads on Disboard.

I called DCL,and they said we are going on St Maarten.They said nothing has changed yet.

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!
