December 13, 2013 Sailing the Magnificant Magic out of Miami

[colkath2005]

Our Elf will be here by morning. His name is Buddy. What is your Elf's name? That would be funny if they traded cabins during the cruise. The kids would die laughing. Buddy was on the EBPC last year with us. They're so funny, the girls look at us and laugh saying, WOW, how did Buddy know where to find us? We laugh and just roll our eyes. We told them, as soon as they stop believing, the presents stop coming. They aren't willing to take that chance. I don't blame them, I still believe and Santa still comes to my mom and dads house.

Our elf is Wi3hes. As I always say my boys are my 3 wishes. I enjoy the elf as much as they do and although the older 2 wouldn't admit it the love looking to see where he has flown back and landed. He gets quite creative and comes on all our Christmas vacations
I am still a believer I'm not taking the chance of a Christmas with no present lol

I am officially on vacation now. I did my online check in for the flights this morning and I am now checked in at the airport hotel and I am chilling out in the Club Lounge waiting for cocktail and appetizer hour. I will try to check in periodically during the trip. If I don't manage to go online, I see you on the Magic.

We are virtually neighbours. We are in 6514. I may just be a teeny bit jealous that you were asigned all sideways cabins. Our favourite cabin is 6521. I am sure we will end up going to the wrong cabin a few times.


Corinna

how close are we? we are 6576..? at least we are on the same floor..

We are doing the single digit dance today in our house! 9 days before we head to London and Gatwick airport. Are we the first to set off on our journey?
Sorry I've not been on here much but it's been crazy lately. But back o. Track and Miami hotel finally booked.

Our rooms are 6503 6507 and 6511. The FE's will only be on 2 of these doors tho.

Really starting to get excited. It was time for our Elf on the shelf to arrive today!
Colette

can you please tell me which room numbers are for the FE participants and who is in what room!~!

I am at the airport. The plane has arrived and we should start boarding shortly. I better pack my gadgets away and fill out the customs form before we board.

Wish I could. With Gordon suddenly not going it's messed things up a fair bit. There will be two fish extenders. One for colkath with the names colette,billy,Jayden,Keegan on the pockets on one of the doors, and one for colkathparents with bill and kath on the pockets. We are still sorting out everything with reservations etc and all the other companies we have had to contact.

Sorry for not being clearer.

Please tell Wi3hes that Buddy says hi! I linked our reservations so you are stuck with us at dinner for both cruises. It looks like the Navigator for the 12/18 sailing has main dinner at 6:15 so that's not too bad. The kids will be happy and our moms will love it too. The things we do for our families.

9 more days!!!

Happy Thursday.. While it's 28 degrees here.. I hear it's great weather at Disneyworld.. can't wait to get there.. so glad it's great weather there..

And I complain when it gets into the low 60's. Looks like next Friday in Miami it's going to be around 79 degrees with 30% chance of rain. And I'm ok with that!

Hello to all. Another Ohio person getting the heck out of Ohio on a last minute booking. We scored a great room 5650 on a Outside Stateroom GTY. Just verified today. Probably to late to be on the fish extender but we are bringing stuff anyway to drop off to all the rooms got the last posted list. Pretty sure we sailed with Love Of DCL on the Wonder . Mexican Riviera I think .Pretty sure it was you that gave the cool tile/coasters we still have those. Anyway this is the only Disney ship we have not been. Looking forward to all the new additions and wishing I was 12 again so I could attend the Avengers Academy. See everyone on board.

Hi everybody. I've got a confession to make. I'm a lurker. This is my first Disney Cruise and my first post on a DIS Board. I've certainly enjoyed reading all the posts.

As you can probably guess, I'm a grandma with the So Cal Crew. Cathy's been keeping me in the loop but I figured I needed to post at least once before we sail.

I'm so excited. This time next week, we'll be on our way to Florida. My FE gifts are done. I've got my checklist going. I think I'm actually at the point where I'm checking off more than I'm adding. For a while there it felt like for each thing I checked off I added two more.

Looking forward to meeting everyone. Collette, I've heard so much about you guys from the girls that I feel like we've already met.

I know everyone's been counting the days. When do we starting the hours?

 

[colkath2005]

Hi Sandy really good to see you post. We are down to our last couple days and leave on Monday. We can't wait to meet you and catch up with everyone.
What Miami hotel did you all decide on?
Looking forward to our first of many dinners together and mum and dad can't wait to meet you!

Hey guys!!! Aww thanks yes I made the tile coasters on that cruise. Well I sure can include you in the FE on my end. I sent my FE's with my parents in their motor home but I will just add some stuff in my luggage for ya. We have 3 staterooms and we will include you. our rooms are 5009(my parents), 5013(my SIL and her 2 girls) and my room 5020. Did u see the webpage I have with all the info? Unfortunately this is a real small FE group...but that's ok!! Look forward to sailing with you guys again!!! 3pm Friday Promenade lounge!
