Boy, you guys can type! It took me two days to read through this thread! We are 2nd time Magic cruisers we did the Eastern last time, so we thought that we would try something different this time. Participants include DM, DD, DH, myself, DD8 and DD5. We are all bursting at the seams with excitement.
We are from the Detroit area also, not far from all of you folks in Canton. We are in Ypsilanti Township.
I am much less organized for this cruise than I was for our last, so I will have an interesting month to come. We did our document dance on Monday (DH thought I was crazy when he called, and I was so excited that "THE MAIL IS HERE! THE MAIL IS HERE").
Believe it or not we are still debating on what kind of excursions if any that we want to do. DH just wants to lay on the beach all day (drink in hand I'm sure), but I might do a little shopping and sightseeing? We'll see. The two things I know I will be doing... BINGO!!!! and what is the name of that fantastic drink on
Castaway Cay?
My daughters will be at different club levels this year, I'm not quite sure how well that is going to work out yet, so I would love for them to make some friends early in the trip to feel a bit more comfortable. We would be up for a kids meet as well as the pre Key West meet.
Tenative hotel plans (to be decided for sure later today) We get to Orlando around 11:00 a.m. on Friday, drive straight to Port Canaveral for one night at Ron Jon Resort. My parents are willing to do the tour thing, my husband is not, so we are seeing today if they will let my parents do the tour. One way rentals both way for the car.
I can't believe it is finally hear. To give you an idea of how long ago we booked, both my family and my parents are in Secret Porthole rooms. I would love to see the secret Verandah room!
Talk to all of you soon!
