Halloween 2011. Oct 29th on the Magic

[glindamood]

I am here but have been working on the WDW portion of our trip. I just wish they would release the hours and all so I can figure out our dining.

We will participate in the FE so what else do you need to know. Cabin number is 6311, I am Gail and DH is David and we currently appear to be the oldsters at 57 each.

Oh NOOOOOOOOO! So sorry to hear that. Maybe the even will change...

typically the event is the weekend before halloween, and I always take off for halloween but I go to WDW for like 4days...I should know more by next month..so cross fingers because I wouldn't be able to do it in November either I would almost have to see if I can do something in August/September..that'll suck!!!

Welcome Kamy...do you want me to add you to our Fish Extender List?

 

[kamgen]

Not sure if we are going to do it yet! But thanks so much. We did it last year and it took a lot of our time, so we are debating!

Anyone ever cruise over Halloween before???

 

[MommaMouse411]

I cruised on carnival for halloween and I had a blast then..Ive read some trip reports of people who went on the same cruise last year and it looked like fun.

Im thinking about costumes now..we are looking to be cowboys..

I cannot wait for this cruise to come...I'm still waiting to find out if I can still vacation this week...

I already have most of my disigns for my magnets and I am only making one set of tshirts for us...

and there might be a possibility that my step sister will go with us...I told her she has till July because if this is a go for me, I'm paying my cruise off so I can book my palo brunch/dinner and nursery times.


yesterday I was looking at the menus for the Magic..and I wrote down everything I wanted to eat....I AM SO REQUESTING 3 LOBSTER TAILS...and they can call me Miss Piggy if they want to...

I was going to buy tuxedos for the boys for Captains Dinner but I saw some pictures and noticed the kids were in suits. So yesterday I did some scouting for suits for the boys...and found some really cheap priced ones at Ross. however I didn't buy because I wanted matching sets.

Let's see...I am checking disneystore.com..to see when they are going to put the swimwear on sale..i have my eye on the mickey mouse long sleeve rashguard/swim short set...right now it'll be $60 to buy two sets!!!!!! so I'm hoping they go to $9.99 a piece soon.

I was also kicking myself for not buying two mickey head jack o lanterns for trick or treating at MNSHHP & the Cruise..so I'm hoping that they'll have them back at Walgreens for $4.99!!

My mom says she is eating 3 lobster tails too!!!

We are excited about this cruise...but it feels so far away!! Cannot wait!

 

[MommaMouse411]

@ Kamy...it seems long away but like before you know it its July..then I make my payment so I can book my palos/nursery...then after that its PRE TRIP REPORT TIME.

I want to try Palos HIgh Tea...just to say I did it..but I have to do Dinner and brunch but I don't want to take up too much time just eating away on days at sea...lol...

 

[kamgen]

I love Palo High Tea! Totally worth it and something to at least try once. I love brunch...it is my favorite meal on the ship!!!! We skipped dinner last time because it was only a 4nt sailing. This time I want to do dinner!

We just found out we'll be on this cruise. Our first on DCL. Myself, my wife, and our four kids (DDs 11,9,5 DS 8). This trip is my son's wish from Make A Wish Foundation. I've just started researching DCL to find out anything we can to make this trip fantastic. I'm not sure who's more excited the kids or me!

Welcome Steve and family. You are all going to have an awesome time!

So I need to try High Tea again? I did this with my Mom when we sailed in 2002 and was not impressed. But I will agree that brunch is (hands down) the best meal on the ship. My absolute favorite. Dinner is nice but I miss the meals in the dining room so we do not always do that one.

Welcome steve!!! I think the parents/adults are always more excited than the kids..

Yesterday we went to Animal Kingdom and had a terrific time..tomorrow I will be going to Magic Kingdom.

My son's bday was yesterday and my little one's tomorrow..Animal Kingdom never disappoints..but on my way home I was thinking..I really wish they would do something with Dinoland..something better..how about some dinosaurs!!! or there's just something UN-Done about this park..and I honestly wish there were more animals..more exotic animals..anyways...but its still my 2nd fave park..


I ended up only buying seasonal passes..I think that's good enough for now...but it was so great to know that I can whenever I want other than block out dates..which I think its ok to not be there smack dab in middle of summer here in florida..

 

[MEAGON2222]

we will also be on this cruise my self, my husband and 2 sons 6 and 7 years old

 

[MommaMouse411]

welcome Meagon2222

I am utterly exhausted..just came from Magic Kingdom yesterday..open to close...my kids and I had a blast..and you know what it wasn't packed!!! How wonderful is it to go on a weekday!!!!! I almost wished I had Mondays and Tuesdays off so I can use that as my to thing with the boys day..

We met Angelica from POTC4..she looked great!! didn't look exactly like penelope cruz but she at least looked latina

We missed the spectromagic parade because my sons wanted to dance the night away with chip dale and friends...my 3yr old is so funny..he just likes to hang out next to them. but those characters only dance wit the girls...and they just pat my son on his head..its like hey no fair

and I just realized that Stitch does talk....he said aloha in "Stitch" voice to my son!! I was like what!!! I thought that was awesome..

anyway...I'm exhausted at work and I can't function...can't wait till next month to go for my birthday...I'm going to Epcot and DHS..gotta catch the Flower Garden Festival before its over.
