January 20, 2007 - Magic - Anyone?

Hi All!
I use Yahoo Groups alot and I saw a couple of people post on here that they wish there was someway to get everyone together in one spot.
I created a Yahoo group where we can post messages (similar to this forum), but can also create a database where everyone can go in and put their names, where they are from and ages of their kids so that you can easily find people with similarities to you. You only have to enter anwers that you want to. I have made it restricted so that I have to approve everyone that joins (so we don't have lurkers).
Please let me know if this is something you are interested in!
Thanks!
Cindy

Saydie is 5 and sometime mature, very smart, but sometimes like to play the little sister act so her and Emily should get along well. Emily can boss her around and trust me when she has had enought she'll let Emily know. This is the first cruise for Carter and Saydie. Carter is a very nice 7 year old. He still love to dress up in costume and play with stuffed toys. He is very sweet and wll mannered, most of the time.

I think we are in 7065 [Deck 7 in the middle ] Looks like we will be right above you. We are flying in to Orlando on Saturday about 11:30. We fly out on the 27th at 4:10.
We are so excited. Have you seen the Disney crusie special that was on the travel channel. it was wonderful.

My six year old boy, Steven, sounds similar to Carter. Although Steven can be quite humerous when he chooses to be! These two should get along great!

I'm interested!! Let me know how to access it and I'd be happy to key in our info. I was just thinking we have a lot of children all similar in age - it'd be great to see a breakdown of ages and girls/boys! Thanks!

I'd be interested as well. I find this a little confussing sometimes. We are new Disney cruises, but simply can't wait.

BUMPING US UP....WAY UP....3 WEEKS TO GO!

Anyone interested in scheduling a meet once we are all on board? Think it might be fun!

Hi
Our family will be on the Magic, leaving Jan 20. It will be myself, DH and sons, 15 and 18. We have been on the Eastern before and all loved it. Anyone have an older kid (18) who is now too old for the STACK?

First time poster, fifth time DCL cruiser!
My family (DH, DD-15, DS-12, and myself) are also on the 1/20 Magic. We are very excited! Anyone else cruising with teens?

 

[poohmomof5]

I just joined here too! I am so excited.

I will be onboard, with 5 kids, 15 year old boy, 13 year old daughter, 12 year old son, 9 year old daughter, and 2 year old girl!

I can't wait to go!

We are also leaving Thursday and spending a day at WDW. We will most likely go to Epcot for the day. I have been on 3 cruises before, including the Eastern, and I am happy to answer questions if anyone has any! It looks like some of will be on your first Disney Cruise! Congratulations.

This is our first Disney cruise (DH's cruise with first wife and older 2 children does NOT count! lol Disney didn't have a dedicated ship then, I don't think.)

Anyhow, DH, me, DS 14, DS 10, DD 2 will be there! We are so excited. Right now our DD is sick with some kind of ear/sinus infection, I am taking her to the doc tomorrow to get meds so she will get well. She is scared to death of Santa, I am afraid she'll be scared of Mickey and Ariel, her two favorite Disney characters.

I've heard on this sight that the early boarding is for those in the suites--not my family.

We homeschool, my kids are thinking woo-hoo no school! But I am going to look for something educational that I can count as a field trip.

See you soon!!

This is our first cruise also. We homeschool too. Thats what my kids are excited about...no school....however they did have to start school right after New Years. I thought about doing some map reading with them, since we will be there on Thursday and renting a car. If you have any great ideas for something educational, I'd be interested. We have a DD 5, DS 7, & DS 9. I also thought about journal keeping everyday.

Only 10 more days before we leave!!!

I know I have asked this before, but does anyone know about what it would cost for family of 5 to do the Trunk Bay on our own? Taxi's, Ferry's, etc. As far as I can see, the Taxi's cost $6 per person and the Ferry was about $4 (I think). It was only saving us about $20 in the long run from an excursion because of taxi's and ferry's both ways. If anyone has done Trunk Bay on there own before, I would be very interested.

Thanks...first cruise and we are counting the days!!

 

[Luci's Momma]

Katie, It will be nice meeting another homeschool family on this cruise! We are in Alabama, where are you coming from? I agree, geography is a good subject to put on the "what I did on the cruise" lesson plan. I guess I need to find my maps and get out one of the Caribbean.

I took Luci to the doc and she does have infections in both ears. My boys never had *any* ear infections, she is just loaded with them. She is a Chinese doll, we adopted her a year ago August. So you will be able to find us quickly, we are a mostly Irish-looking family with a China doll. Are you on deck 8, too, since yo have as many in your group as we do? I can't remember our cabin # right now.

The Dis'ers on the other thread (the 1/20/07 one) are meeting Sunday at the Goofy Pool. The scheduled meeting time is 1 pm, near the stage...I'll keep you posted.

 

[Katie1]

We are from Michigan. Thought we would be leaving the cold weather...but it has actually been rather warm for this time of year. I am hoping that it stays that way in Florida also. I have been down there when it is cold.

Hope Luci feels better. Ear infections are not fun. We are on deck 8, but I don't know the number off hand.

[kjblovesdisney]

Hey Katie1, we are on deck 8 also!
The plan to meet is Sunday at 1 pm a the Goofy pool. Folks are bringing bubbles to blow, so to find other Disers follow the bubbles! Lots of Dis'ers blow bubbles at the sail away party so that's another way of meeting friends from this board.
See you next week! I love saying that....except part of me wants time to slow down just a little....

 

[Carolinax4]

Sounds good! We'll see y'all at the Goofy Pool on Sunday at 1pm!

We're sooo excited!!
