Is anyone else a return cruiser? My party is so I was wondering who I might see at the reception.

 

[NancyDVC]

Hi all,
We are returning cruisers as well. My DBF (Disney Best friend) and I sailed last year on the 'Western' Magic that turned into a sort of wanderer due to Hurricanes Ivan and Jeanne.
We rebooked on board and can't wait to go again!

It is getting closer now. We made our final payment last week!

Let's get planning!

 

[lilofan]

We will be there, too. We are return cruisers from last year and loved the trip. We'll be at WDW four days, then off to the Magic.

 

[NancyDVC]

*Bump*
Are we having fun yet? Are we making lots of plans? Is it January yet?
Well here is our consolation: when it is here in the north we will be having a time on

Keep those good vibes coming!

Is anyone staying overnight in Orlando the night before the cruise? We were considering that option but once my bags are packed, I don't want to have to open them again until I am in my stateroom.

**Bump**

Griffin33,
We are staying overnight at the Radisson near the port. We stayed there last year and had a nice time. We fell asleep early because we had gotten up at 3:00 AM for a 4:30 AM pick up for a 6:30 flight! We wanted to get in early to see friends who live in Celebration. I just booked our flight for January and we are on a 7:00 AM flight on Friday so that we can visit with the same friends again.
We liked being able to get up and to the terminal early to walk around and relax. Also with flying out of NY in January, who knows what the weather will be like. Flying in the same day as departure leaves no room for delays!

How is everyone doing with all this hurricane news? I hope that everyone here and their families are safe and well.

TTFN

Hello all!

Well I guess we are done recouping from the Eastbound Panama Canal cruise, so I can officially throw our hat into the ring for this cruise!

It is:
Dan- 33
Scott- 39

This is our 11th Disney cruise!

Can't wait to see the new additions from dry dock!

Dan

Hooray! We're booked and we talked the grandparents into going too (that was no small task)! This will be our second cruise on the Magic. I thought our first one in October 2004 would be a once in a lifetime trip, but now it's in our blood! We have two DDs 5 & 3. Last time our little one was in the nursery, whenever possible, and now we're all excited she'll get to go to her big kid class. She's a little dissapointed that there won't be any "talking vacumes" from the nursery! I'm sure she'll forget all about those!
We're counting down! Can't wait!
Robyn

Me (30)
DH (31)
Lauren (5)
Natalie (3)
My Parents (older than us, but they better keep up! )

[Griffin33]

Welcome Robyn...

Looks like our kids will be in the clubs together. I have a 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son!

 

[Mommy2abunch]

Dh and I have done RCCL for our 2nd honeymoon last jan, and MIL and FIL have done disney 5 times(this will be their 1st 7 day) My mom and dad are newbies LOL

We are almost all packed LMAO

Hugs and we are at less then 90 days to go

 

[RobynC]

Thanks for the welcome!

Less than 90 days!! Is anyone else hitting the gym and trying to turn away the extra treats in preparation for their "cruise clothes?" It keeps me motivated to think that I'm sure there are other moms and dad out there getting ready for the same trip I am! We need a support group!
Robyn

 

[lilofan]

Yes, my DW and I are both on a "Fit in the Cruise Clothes" mode, though she hardly needs it.
By the way did anyone book a REAS? We did but cancelled when theymade the big change in what you get. Just wondering.

 

[Griffin33]

Booked my Palo reservations today. Last time we made the mistake of doing Palo dinner the night before Palo brunch....it was too much too close together. This time I decided to do Palo brunch on the second day at sea (Monday) and dinner on Wednesday night. As long as the kids are happy in the clubs we should be able to stick to those plans!
