February 27, 2010 Eastern Cruise on the Magic

[bigturkey12]

It's called Downy Wrinkle Release. I think I got it at Walmart. They make a travel size. Do you have Bed,Bath and Beyond there. Our store has a huge section with travel size items. Check there. It's great stuff. Just spray the item and give it a little tug and the wrinkles disappear. If you don't find it let me know I'll bring you one !

Have you been working on your FE's ? I can hardly wait myself, and with having you guys around it makes it even more exciting !

ok ill check out walmart. we dont have bed, bath and beyond here. ill let you know how i made out. i may take you up on the offer . really dont want to be standing ironing while i could be with mickey. i am working on fe . still worried im not getting enough for the bags. it makes it so much fun to have you guys going with us also. we will have so much fun. joanne talk soon

Wow, things are slow here...... you wouldnt think that Mickey's MAGIC'al Castaways have.......1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 Fridays til our cruise!!!

Reminder
December 14th (75 days) is when you have to pay the balance for your cruise, and non-castaway club members can book spa and excursions.

To expand on Scrapycruisers tip idea..
Budget tips......
visit Pluto's Dog House or Pinochio's Pizza and take those snacks to the movie theatre instead of paying for snacks at the theatre....and its free!!
Motion sickness pills are available at guest services for again.. free!! just ask.
remember to bring new whtie pillow cases for character signatures. place them in zip lock bags with your favorite perm colored markers and hand them to guest services. they will be returned to you at the end of the cruise. awsome gifts and it is free!!

Here in Erie, PA we have been getting lake effect snow for the past couple days. Temps have been in the teens with windchills of below zero! Freeeezzzinggg!!!
We CAN'T wait to escape to the sunny and warm Carribean!!!

 

[Cowgirl0524]

ya its been really cold, but the snows nice for the holidays

 

[scrapycruiser]

NoKidz...thanks for adding the tips. We're bringing a pillow case. I wonder if you could get just the Villians ( for my Grandson ). That is if they are onboard rehearsing for the new show.

I know the new Villians show doesn't start until after our cruise, but I had heard that they'll be on the Magic a month prior to there debut, rehearsing.Correct me if you've heard different. ANYWAY, if they are, I wonder if we'll get to at least see a dress rehersal ??

I'm looking forward to the snow. Here in VA we seldom get snow. But this Christmas our family is gathering near Stowe VT ! I hope I can take a sleigh ride !!

Merry Christmas to everyone !

bone chillin cold up here. wild wild winds!!!!! . so bad it ripped off my storm door. oh dear last week 2 new tires this week storm door for house. im glad i paid off the cruise in nov. will we see gm or nothing?? has anyone got an answer for sure. we were really looking forward to this. also i know monday i have to do my online check in. right?? is it hard and where exactly do i go. josh and i have puffers for asthma and reactive airway do we have to fill in medical form or just if there are special needs. do you fill out forms and submit plus print them out to take to port. never done this ever so all help appreciated.
I still cant find downey wrinke release. scrapycruiser would you mind getting some and ill pay you when we meet at the bus. thanks so much. I dont want to iron and loose mickey time. We will talk soon .have to get some work done because josh is taking me out for my birthday supper. talk real soon joanne

 

[scrapycruiser]

Joanne...I have your can of Wrinkle release already in my suitcase. Do you think I'm packing too early ?
As far as the online check-in, it's very simple.
Click on Already Booked
go to Retrieve reservation and enter your res# and DOB
go to online check-in where DCL will give you easy to follow directions
go to the bottom of the page and complete the forms
make copies

What to bring to the port :

passports
copy of DCL signed cruise contract ( you don't have to copy the entire contract, just the portion that you signed saying you've read it...I never have read the whole thing)
payment auth summary.

these last 2 things will actually print together when you finish the online check in

If you're able to manage your and Josh's asthma with your puffers, I see no reason to get DCL involved. But you could call and ask DCL if you like.

If you guys are doing any shore exc on St Maarten or Castaway Cay sign up for those now. Didn't Josh want to do the Sting Ray tour ?

Sign Josh up on line for the kid's club. Even if he decides not to go. It'll save time later.

PALO : If you'd like to join Bruce,Cindy and I for brunch, we signed up for Mon 10:30 am. Do you have my res # ?
If anyone else would like to join us for Brunch ,Mon 10:30, send me a PM and we'll exchange res #'s. It would be fun to go as a group. Think about it !

 

[scrapycruiser]

Just saw on another thread that there will only be 2 shows each week starting Feb 20- Mar 26. I am very disappointed but especially feel bad for you guys that are new to DCL !!

 

[seashell724]

Boo to less shows.
I'm excited to make some ressies tonight.
Um...no one can beat me for the cold!
This morning....
-48 with the windchill.
(For all you American friends our temps hit even when it gets to -40 so it would be -48 for you too!)

That really stinks! Especially b/c one of the things we LOVE about DCL is the shows!

 

[scrapycruiser]

DCL better come up with something good !

 

[seashell724]

Well...
Just did my reservations although it took me like, 15 minutes to figure some stuff out to do it...sheesh.
Anyway....
I managed to get what I want except a Palo brunch. I scored a Palo dinner on formal night but would WAY rather have a brunch instead. My husband and I loooove brunches.
I know you can still have a chance on board but if anyone has a brunch and wants to include two more people please let me know! I'd even trade ya the dinner!!!
Have a good night everyone, stay warm!

Just an update for our FE list...

We have changed staterooms. We are now in #6067.

Thanks!
Lorna and Olivia

 

[lornak]

I've never heard of Palo Brunch on a port day ?? I think I'd call DCL to double check.




I logged back into my account online and it still shows Palo brunch for 10:30 AM on Tuesday in St. Maarten. I really wanted it on Sunday but that wasn't even a choice. Was anyone else able to get a Sunday brunch reservation? Or for that matter does anyone else have a Tuesday brunch?? It seems odd but it is right there in print in front of me....

 

[scrapycruiser]

lornak...I have your new stateroom # noted, thanks !
