Jan 3, 2004 Magic Cruise

[brack]

Jollytammy: Disney hotels have a special going on for that time as well. I booked a room at the Coronado Springs for about that price. See the thread on the special code for the bookings.

We have only 26 days to go.
Looking through the previous posts I have found that we have 23 posters to this thread. We should be able to have a really good DIS meet thanks to Brack and Jeanny who are attempting to set it up. I'm really waiting to hear the news. If there are any "lurkers" that are signed up for the cruise but haven't posted, please give us your name at least. There are only 15 names on the Unofficial Cruise List, so we do beat that list.

The "Author" names so far are:
AmyM
Batoncoach
Brack
Carlsons
CJSmith
DianeDisney
Disneystyle
Diznut84
Fawn
Jeanny
Jollytammy
Jtorrey
LVTravel
MarkLem
Mickeymom1
Minimahaki
Missouridisneyfans
Moinnb
Poopie
Princessdaisy
RKB
SandieDVC
Tangoman

I have compiled a table of names and some information from the posts and will have it available to all at the DIS meet (if no objections) which will give space to "fill-in" more details if you want to give it to someone special!

26 DAYS TO GO.....

 

[cjsmith]

What a wonderful idea! I would love to have the list at our meet. Do you want any information in particular to put on it? How sweet od you to go to so much work.
I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!

Carolyn, I am just going back through the thread and "gleaning" information I see here (It is now public record) for the Cruise Information Sheet I am creating. If anyone would like to provide any additional information to the others in the thread they just need to post it here or they can send it to me via my special email address (jancruise@dmv.com) and specify it is for the Cruise Information Sheet.

The email address and information I am collecting to allow the children going on the cruise to contact other children (jancruise@dmv.com) will NOT be placed on the Cruise Information Sheet I am making for distribution at the meet as this information is private. The only way I would give this information out is with specific permission of its owner. This was originally started on 11-11-03 (post on page 13 about 2/3 way down.)

 

[brack]

lvtravel: thanks for the list. I'll send info for us soon.

Has anyone noticed that the countdowns are not working today?

 

[princessdaisy]

Well, we are less than 30 days to go and STILL NO DOCS

Called my TA and he is out of office for a few days and his assistant says "you don't get them untill two weeks before cruise date" in a wonderful sarcastic voice!

Greeeat! I feel so left out of the loop I want my docs!! boo hoo! Anyway, thanks for listening/reading my vent and whine. I will just keep waiting or call back in a few days and keep bugging the travel agency

Stephanie aka Daisy

Stephanie I really feel sorry for you because you don't have your documents. I know how I felt without mine when everyone else was happy and giddy when they saw theirs. They will arrive, I promise. (I did call DCL directly to verify that my TA had made the final payment to DCL. They don't give any information out, they state that you have to go through the TA, but ask for a supervisor and insist on just knowing if final payment was made to DCL. You will need your booking number.)

Brack The countdowns were/are working on my browser OK. Must be yours? When I scroll back through the previous posts I find that some of them (I made note of it earlier in the thread) were not working on some posts. Don't know what is happening.

Jeanny, we need to make final plans for a meet before MarkLem and some others go to WDW the week before the cruise. We can make sure that they do get the word on the meet date, time and location before they leave their trusty computer at home. We don't want anyone to miss out.

Official countdown to Disney Magic is 25 days to go!!!!!!

 

[princessdaisy]

Thanks! I just have to be patient..I guess

 

[sandiedvc]

Their docs came today. (and they are not even here! They are still at college and somehow the document excitement is not the same when you are emailed about it!)

Nothing for us, but I have a feeling they will show up tomorrow!

I am starting to get really worried that everything we want to take won't fit in our luggage! I have a whole tote bag full of essentials, snorkel equipment, and family band radios... that's half a suitcase right there! If you see me in the same outfit three days in a row, you'll know I ran out of room for clothes!!!

Seriously, I was excited to see in my daughter's docs (yes, I DID open them-- I couldn't help myself) that there is a currency exchange on board. I had been wondering how to get that money changed.

See you all soon! (I hope)

Brack, I got your email today but when I attempted to reply, AOL bounced the message back to me telling me I wasn't authorized.

I then attempted to use the email address on the original web site you created micanmin... but that was bounced also. I don't know if it is me or aol. I use Outlook Express as my email client and have not had any problem sending to my ex-boss who has AOL email account.

I'll send my response back in a PM on the Forum

22 days til WDW world...25 til the cruise!!! I am having a REALLY hard time WAITING!!! I have planned SOOOO much but still feel ill prepared! I have been dubbed the compulsive planner by my family. I run my own business and know when to let go. This is definitely NOT true as far as Disney goes! In my spare time I coach a gymnastics team. At our first meet yesterday one of my team girl's parents informed me that her daughter would miss a meet in January because they were going on a Disney cruise. I could hardly contain myself!!! I asked if they were on the Eastern or Western?. What category were they in? Do you have a verandah? What excursions are you planning on doing? She looked at me like I was speaking a different language!!! She had NOOO idea that these were things that people knew ahead of time. I really wanted to take her cruise planning over!!! I feel soooo sorry for people that cruise without a clue. Although, I must admit that I did that on my first cruise. WDW can't come soon enough!!!

 

[AmyM]

I just noticed I was the first post on page 19. Come on folks let's go for 20!!!

 

[Jeanny]

Ok, what does everyone think of meeting on Monday, (sea day) up on deck 10 around 2:00 p.m., that's kind of the middle of the day, right after lunch for most.. Brack-where's a good area to meet?? Overlooking the Mickey Pool or forward near the Basketball Courts??

Does anyone want to meet any earlier because of little ones napping time, etc? Or will most of the children want to be in the clubs?

And it the weather is inclement, we'll meet in Diversions (for right now) Ann is checking it out for me, she' s on this Saturday's Magic, and Poopie was going to look while she was there this past week and let us know what she thought too... we can always go to the Promanade lounge area in case of inclement weather... NOT that we're going to have ANY of that!!! I've had enough of "inclement" weather this weekend..I spent my birthday snowblowing and shoveling!! whoa!

Thanks everyone... see you soon!! I'm going to do a trial packing this weekend... yes I have no life!!!
