Hey we are on this cruise too! Just booked this past weekend. This will be our 4th Disney cruise. It will be myself, my husband and my 3 children. 13 year old son, 11 year old daughter, and 9 year old daughter.
It's sooooo far away but I'm already in planning mode lol

 

[scrt69]

we just finalized it this evening. its been MONTHS of planning... its not easy organizing 3 rooms, and 8 people total! I got our room numbers, and when I got my email today... I was jumping for joy!!!!

 

[swalesfamily]

No doubt! I think it's enough organizing 5 pple. Our friends decided to join us on this cruise as well. Woo hoo for Canadians! Now if we could only make the date come faster eh?

 

[scrt69]

got our room #'s... not sure about the front of the ship.. but oh well! they were the last of the connecting rooms in the 4B cat.

8504,8506,8508

I got lucky with the 8504 room.. TA said that we might get better land views as the cruise goes counter clockwise...

Is it time yet???? LOL

We booked with Dreams Unlimited. Used them before and it was seamless. Plus we got onboard credit to use on the ship through them.
Hope you end up booking

My wife and I will be on this cruise (first half of a B2B). May I suggest that the first post be edited for future links to things like FE lists, meet & greet, and other Dis events?

My name is Cayla and my wife's name is Cathy (she is Halloween_Gryl on the Dis, but doesn't post very often).

We are looking forward to our first trip on the re-imagined Magic!!

Welcome! I'm sure we will be able to post all of those to the first post once things here get rolling. I'm willing to head up the FE if there are interested parties to participate. We are stoked to be on the Magic again. She was our favorite ship so far...we have yet to sail the Dream. Excited to be visiting Jamaica as Dunns River Falls is on my bucket list

As for the FB group maybe there is a way to make it private so you need to ask to join. Not sure how to do that though, the admin probably would need to make that happen.

Looking forward to planning and chating over the next year

We love the Magic...my wife hasn't been on the Wonder yet (Sept we are doing the Panama Canal).

What is Dunns River Falls?

We are up for the FE list so add us both for all the cabins (even if the list splits)

Hi
It's our first cruise - first anything Disney actually. The girls and I are really excited, husband is a little more reserved. The girls will be 11 and 9 at cruise time. We would like to get involved with the FE to help extended the fun of the trip.

We are going with friends (Swalesfamily) so that should add to the fun of the trip as well!

This will be our 4th disney cruise!!

We are from Ontario, Canada and will be sailing with our 3 girls who will be 11,8 and 6 when we go!!

Does anyone know if there is a FB group for our cruise yet??

Jealous of the Panama Canal! Definitely on the bucket list! Dunns River Falls is a waterfal you can climb up in Jamaica and slide down. It's touristy but I have always wanted to go and I think my kiddos are now old enough to join us

Cool for the FE, it looks as though we have a few pple interested so far. Will probably get that up and running early spring

My DH and I just booked this cruise after getting off a 7-day Cruise on the Fantasy yesterday. We have been cruising every Valentines Day week for the last 4 years to celebrate our Anniversary. We have great Cruise Buddies we met years ago on the DisBoards that will be cruising again with us on this upcoming cruise. Our four daughters will not be on this cruise with us. They have a cruise with us coming up in April on the Magic during their school spring break. So excited to be getting to see all the NEW areas on the Magic that have been re-imagined. We sailed on the Magic years ago and loved it. I hope there is even more to love this time. I have found the link to the Facebook "private" group for this cruise and I put in a request to join the group. Looking forward to chatting with everyone for the next year.

 

[goofy for mickey]

So excited to have found the thread! We will be on with my parents and three daughters (11, 13, and 15). Finally less than a year! We booked on opening day....

 

[padalyn]

Thank you for switching the FB page type!

May I suggest that you edit the first post and include that link? This way the new folks joining us do not have to hunt through all the threads!

Other important links could also be added later - FE, group meets, tastings etc.
