Jan 3, 2004 Magic Cruise

Carolyn: A weather update would be great! Thanks so much! I still have no idea on what to pack for January...shorts & sweaters????

-Stephanie-

 

[cjsmith]

You got it Stephanie! My family wears shorts all year long actually, we'll just add long sleeve tees and a sweatshirt if we need it. I'll just keep everyone updated on how it is in Naples and that will give us an idea for Key West and Castaway Cay at least. Port Canaveral can actually be a lot colder than here during the winter months as can Orlando. I'll update periodically.

 

[princessdaisy]

Sounds great Carolyn! Thank you! It is pretty much shorts and sweatshirts here in San Diego but it sure is getting cold at night!

Well, got the first name for the children's cruise list today on the email site jancruise@dmv.com. Now we have three counting my grandchildren.

Jo,

passed on your information today to Meghan's mother for Meghan to email your daughter. I hope it is Ashleigh (the first in your list) but if not, you can correct it. I have instructed Meghan to make sure the Disney cruise is in the subject line with Ashleigh's name.


48 Days and Counting!!!!!

batoncoach:

Glad you are with us you old time cruiser you! Keep looking here for final news of our DIS meet on board the day after we sail. Lots of information about our groups here so I hope you will take the time to look back to the beginning.

Man, I can't believe that I started this thread way back on March 12th and we only have 46 Days to Go!!!!!

how's the weather down there this week??

we're getting rain, but warm temps, in the 50's, which is fine by me... at least it will be kind of warm when I go out to get my pool cover back on this weekend.. it was so windy up here last week, it blew part of it in, I can't do it after work, because it's dark by 5 p.m. up here

Welcome batoncoach... more the merrier!!!

Hey there Jeanny,
The weather has been perfect down here, around 82 and sunny with no humidity and gentle breezes. We all suffer through the summer (somewhat) to enjoy this weather! My daughter was up at Disney this past weekend with a friend and her family, and they couldn't believe how much cooler it was up there.
Have you gotten all of your plans set for the cruise?

 

[jollytammy]

I have tried to shop and have gotten some things! But I keep reading the "lists" of what to take, and I keep seeing more "things" I may need!!!

This is our first cruise, and can hardly wait.

We paid off our balance last week, wow was that hard!

Has everyone already made their reserverations for stingray city? Who have you made your reservations with?

Hope to meet you all soon!

Tammy

I too have some shopping to do before the cruise. There are some good deals on clothes in the Disney catalog online.
Also, there is a new deal out on rooms at WDW. The moderate resorts are on discount in January. I just changed our All Star Music before the cruise to Coronado Springs and our Pop Century after the cruise to the Carribean Beach (King bed) ALL FOR THE SAME PRICE!! If you did not get a card in the mail ask for discount BCB.
Today we are planning our excursions so I hope to have that out of the way.
It's getting close and we are excited. I wanted to pack but my wife want let me. See you soon.

 

[princessdaisy]

Hello! May I ask what kind of postcard you recieved in the mail from Disney? Was wondering if that code could be used for the deluxe resort? We will be staying at AKL after the cruise.

Thanks for sharing Brack!

WE GOT OUR DOC'S!!!! just got home from work and found a small box thrown on my front deck kind of near the front door..... I picked it up and saw Disney Cruise Line!!! Jacqui whipped it out of my hands and yelled-- OUR CRUISE DOCS!!!!

So everyone be on the look out...they're on the way!!

YEA!!!

 

[cjsmith]

Jeanny, I read your post, ran to the front door and my docs were waiting for me!!!!!!! What a great way to start the weekend!!!

 

[Jeanny]

Hey Carolyn~
I KNOW!!! It is a great way to start the weekend..., I'm going to get my big suitcase down and rearrange my smaller one tomorrow.

MAN, I'M SO EXCITED NOW!!! It's like Christmas!!

 

[brack]

princessdaisy:

The card was an ad from WDW. It said the deal was for the moderate price resorts but when I called, the cast member was going to give me a lower price on the AllStar Music ($55 instead on the $85 I had booked for) before I metioned that I wanted to switch to a moderate.

I say call them because all they do is say yes or no. Can't know without asking. Good luck.

 

[batoncoach]

hey guys

i just got back from the oct 11 western magic and did the sting ray city and it was the BEST. will do it again this trip. the changes they made to the ship are wonderful. diversions is a really cool place and the programming they do there is really fun. my teenager loved the stack, i never seen him. can't wait to set sail again.

 

[Jeanny]

Hey Batoncoach~
I'm trying to arrange a meet for everyone on Sunday morning before arriving at Key West... do you think Diversions would be a good meeting place if the weather doesn't cooperate?

Thanks for any info...

 

[poopie]

sounds like a good idea to me

hey Poopie~
you're doing your warm up cruise next week right?? Could you check out Diversions and see what you think?? Ann is going on the 12/13 cruise and she's going to swing through there if she has a chance and see what she thinks too.

thanks, have a great trip!!

 

[LVTravel]

Where are they?

Doesn't anyone know where they are?

You know, those elusive travel documents. Can't find them anywhere. Not on the doorstep, not in the mailbox, not even under the Christmas tree.

Almost tackled a Fed Ex delivery person to see if he had them. Can't wait. Please deliver them. Someone please!

Only 38 days to go! I really need them!!!!!!!
