Jan. 22- 29 , 2011 Western Caribean Cruise on the Disney Magic!!!

[Cheechow]

welcome Davidsons I have a feeling the ship will have quite a few Canadians on it based on this board. Can't wait to meet you all.

LOL OK, I dont think I made 300 but I ran out of things to say! I have no idea how to even check what I am at...lol.

Off to work in 45 mins! Should be loading up the truck in about 5 hrs then we are off to the city to do some shopping and see my mom and dad. They are Bird/dog sitting.

See you all in a few days! You wont be able to miss me... I will be the one telling her husband "OMG! I can't believe we are really here!!!"

I guess you will have to do a TR now to get to make up not getting to 300 pre cruise posts here

Travel safe

I only have about seven seconds to spend on here, because I am leaving home in 30 hours and I have a zillion things to finish. I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much to everyone who posted and sent messages about my grandma. She is stable now, enough for me to be able to take this trip without being a wreck the entire time. She'll be in my thoughts and heart, and I will still be able to have a blast with all these awesome peeps!

I'll see some of you on Thursday night for dinner at FishLips, where I will be taking video of Kelli dancing on a table. And the rest...I'll be leaving a little something for you Saturday night after our early dinner. Can't wait to see you!

Hi all!!

GiddyRhino......I thought you were IN NYC already! Shows how much I'm trying to push this week along! Oh, but the sooner it gets here....the sooner it will all be over.

Have I mentioned yet that we're heading to AKL Villas after the cruise, and instead of doing a Disney park....our boys chose UNIVERSAL? Hoping we don't get trampled at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.....sounds like the crowds are still awful. Anyone else been or planning to go?

Endorphin.....we're doing the 10am-1pm Stingray City/Coral Gardens half day trip.....good point getting out there soon- but I don't think we dock until 8:30am, do we? Is that 7:30am local time? Anyone got that whole boat time/local time thing figured out?

Lynn.....thanks for the tips, and the list of posts! 30 posts is SOOO much more respectable than my previous EIGHT! (No disrespect meant at all to those who haven't posted much....!!)

Melissa.....where in Spokane do you live? (I saw it on your FB.) We JUST moved from there two months ago, and miss it terribly. We used to have to snowblow a path to the grass for our Golden Retriever too. Sad to say we lost her last June....hope there's no snow in heaven!

And not to be a gossip monger......but did you SEE the folks totally freaking out on the main thread about Jennifer Hudson being named as the Godmother of the Dream? Who freaking cares?!? Sure Disney could have picked someone a little more Disney-involved (although JH did work on the Wonder for a time.....) but does it really affect your cruise? Sheesh people.

In other more fabulous news......JUST TWO MORE SLEEPS AND I'LL BE FLORIDA BOUND!!! Goodbye, Seattle rain.......hello Disney Magic!
Looks like a little rainstorm was passing through on our cruise route, but it seems to have moved to an earlier pass. GC looks AWESOME! Lather up the sunscreen, Stingray City folks!! Cozumel.....wish those "showers" in the forecast would move.....


....pssst.....I'm having to take a little sleepy time pill tonight and tomm to catch up on some zzzz's----I CANNOT SLEEP, I AM SO EXCITED!!

 

[Spokavegas]

Total panic.....I THOUGHT IT DELETED MY LOOOONG RESPSONSE AGAIN!!!

AHHHHH!!! Phew. I know you couldn't have lived without my blabbering.

 

[Spokavegas]

Sorry....one more!!

Lynn.....I almost forgot. I called DCL today to put in a dining rotation request and check on upgrades.....and the gal I spoke to said that there are NO upgrades available....there's no where for us to go from an Oceanview Room. (?????) Is she trying to tell me that the ship is now sold out? I show Concierge as still avail online....can you not upgrade to those on the phone?

Weird. I'll still be trying at the port! Wish you and I could meet up so that I could follow right behind you and take your verandah- we REEEALLLY want one! I'm really hoping not to see the "Mickey's sailing with a full ship" sign.

I believe the ship gets in at 7:30, but in GC the ships are out in the bay and have to take Tenders into the dock. The ship is sold out so there will likely be a little congested on first few tenders into GC depending on how Disney does things. Email confirmation says we should be to Marvin's shop by 8am just 1/2-2 blocks away depending on dock. They do not charge if the ship is late. Turtle farm looks fun for kids too so I decided to just do it all through Marvin's group.

You are right, the ship does get int at 7:30am....but is the local time different on Grand Cayman like in Cozumel? And what's the deal with that? Is it an hour FORWARD onshore? I should prob know these things before I start downing cocktails at Nachi Cocom. (Anyone else reading podsnels TR?) Hilarious!

 

[Spokavegas]

And btw......so jealous of you guys being at WDW!!!! It will be SO weird to not visit a Disney park AT ALL this trip?!?!?

Hope Harry Potter's worth it....although my DS 6 is SO excited to take his Dr. Seuss books into Seussland and get autographs in them that I just can't stand the cuteness!!

AND- ONE MORE MARGARITAVILLE!!!

Thanks. I was in need of a neurologist in the GSP area over the weekend, and I almost called you. I think she'll be going to Emory now, or MUSC.

OMG - you're right!! I will be in Cocoa Beach tomorrow, but not at FishLips until Friday. Friday night is better for table dancing, anyway!

 

[threewilmingtonwalls]

P.S. - If I need two bags (and by "bags" I mean carry-on luggage) to carry all my FE items, does that mean I went overboard?

P.P.S. - Is it bad luck to use "overboard" as an analogy right before going on a cruise? Yikes!

 

[threewilmingtonwalls]

Oh, and one more thing...

 

[threewilmingtonwalls]

You know how you guys are always so stoked to get a milestone number post?

 

[threewilmingtonwalls]

And you post a reply with a bunch of capital letters and dancing smileys?

 

[threewilmingtonwalls]

Well...I know I'm a little bit behind the curve on this. And we're almost at the end of this thread, anyway...

 

[threewilmingtonwalls]

...but I got number 1700.
