Hello everyone, we will be on this cruise as well. We booked it not too long ago but didn't think to say hello on the meet. My name is Shawn and my wife to be's name is Nikki. This will be our first cruise. We are getting married on the Magic in September 2009 and decided we may want to get our "sea legs" ahead of time. We are really looking forward to this trip, you only get to do something for the first time once.

Hi Shawn and Nikki... you are really going to love the cruise! Welcome, it will be great to meet you!

Hi Shawn and Nikki... you are really going to love the cruise! Welcome, it will be great to meet you!

Thank you Melissa. I've heard the ship is not too full. Fingers crossed for upgrades.

I hope that rumor is true about the ship not being too full...I definitly would not be upset about being upgraded.
Has everyone booked their hotels yet? We are still trying to figure out where to stay....

Welcome Shawn and Nikki and Welcome back jennifaerie

I've made name tags and sent them to those that already sent me their names and mailing address. If you can send me your names and home mailing addresses, I'll get those made and sent out too. That way we can easily identify one another on the ship more easily. We're planning on meeting around the mickey pool around 2.

Hope everyone is doing well and it won't be long until we're on the ship.

Welcome aboard Shawn & Nikki! A wedding on the Magic sounds wonderful!!

Ramon, Can't wait - thank you!

We haven't booked a hotel yet either - we are coming in late on Friday night so would like something fairly close to the airport.

Tammy, did you survive the bday party? lol

Hi everyone and welcome!

yes i survived the party! Thanks! The kids were really great and grown up? wow! for a crowd of 14 even!

Guess now we are heading to north carolina - Raleigh area - for Thanksgiving to see my grandmother so that is going to be a nice diversion to add to the countdown of weeks and months! Black Friday shopping will be easier there and the walmart is right next to my hotel wahoo!! otherwise I would have to travel 1/2 hour to get to it!!

Have a great week!

 

[melsherard]

Thanks Ramon! I got my name tags today, and they are GREAT! My kids are going to be so excited when they get home today.... I don't want to ruin the surprise for everyone else, but they were so much more than I expected!

Just read on one of the posts that Photopass may be on the ship by the time we sail.... So that saves me some money...

Name tags.....

Wow that was quick. I figured you'd get it mid week. Glad you like the surprise. May have another one by the time we board the ship.

My DH emailed me this morning at work that I had received mail from you - I was looking forward to it all day! I don't want to spoil anything either but THANK YOU - VERY COOL!!!

 

[jennyh2829]

ME TOO! I got my nametags today also!!! WOW! is all I can say!

We are staying at the Sheraton near the hotel on Sat. night. $149ish I think. They are suites. I just booked through them, didn't really try to get a deal.


After we are staying at the GF w/ all the fam. WAnted the CR but they were all booked up???

Only 82 more days!!

 

[tammythetwinsmom]

Oh my goodness Ramon they are fabulous! Got them yesterday! We are so lucky! Thank you!

 

[mintee]

Thanks too Ramon! They are AWESOME
My kids were so excited that they had their names on it...they were mystified that you knew who they were lol

Thanks so much!!

Tammy, you should drop by Charlotte while you are in NC! We have a great mall...Concord Mills!

I hope everyone is having a great week!

Brig : That is a great place to shop! When we used to live in NC we went there quite a bit! I had a couple conferences there in Charlotte too! Not sure how close to getting there we will get! I'll let you know!!!

 

[BurghFan111]

Thank you for the warm welcome.

 

[Pumba's Dad]

Let the kids know Mickey's Big Helper is watching them..

I'm working on another secret project.. and I'm not sure if you'll get them before the trip or on your FE..

 

[melsherard]

Very exciting Ramon! My kids loved the nametags, they were sad that I had to take them away so they didn't lose them before the trip....

I can't believe how close we are getting to the trip... the time is going to fly!

 

[ganandem]

My family was so excited to open the package from Ramon yesterday. The nametags are so much more than we expected! Thank you so much for your time and effort on these Ramon. We can't wait to wear them!

 

[samily]

Sorry I have been MIA...last name is Perry
Just got promoted and my work load has increased ridiculously!
I hope everyone is doing well

I feel like I have been planning for this cruise for forever!

Mintee, I must have missed this post before - congrats on your promotion!

 

[mintee]

Thanks so much Samily!

Ok quick question...do you guys have any idea which night will be the night that we have to repeat a restaurant? I just went on to make my Palo reservations and as of now, I have booked it on the night of Castaway Cay...is this an ok night for this??? I booked it at 6pm...will I regret this?

I was going to book a shore excursion, but wow...the price really climbs up there when you are booking for four...I think I would rather save my money for those expensive disney world tickets lol
