June 22 Magic (Western)

[BethA]

I guess I'm the only one that didn't get an excursion we wanted. My son wanted to do the fishing excursion with my dad on castaway cay. I wanted 9:15 because I thought 1 would be way too hot for them to sit in the ssun all those hours. Well, yesterday I was lucky enough to have jury duty so I couldn't call. I called first thing this morning and all the early slots were gone. hopefully everything else will go better for us. Had hoped someone would cancel at 60 days out--we wanted cat 3 but no luck with that either. We'll still have a great time. Have you set up a time to meet at the Radisson or onboard yet? Beth

Beth, sorry to hear that you didn't get that fishing excursion. We definitely will be at the pool as soon as we get to the Radisson and probably most of the day and evening. I am sure the pool will be the major meeting point at the Radisson for all of us. We can figure out the sail away meeting place and time closer to the cruise. I can't believe we have less than 2 months to go!!!

Tom Beaman, by the way, welcome to the disboard and the June 22nd family. Glad to see you found us and we can all keep in touch.

Welcome to the June 22nd crusie group. As you can tell by all the emails we are a pretty excited bunch. Hope your family can join our group at the Radisson or on board ship. Look for lime green
ribbons which denotes DIS board members.

Is Gresham near Portland? We lived in Olympia, Wa. for 4 years.
My (DH) still wants to move back to the Northwest. I told him we've been in the South to long and my blood is to thin.

Please let us know if you have any questions as several of us have been on more than one Disney cruise.

Howard, Thanks for keeping the count up to date for me. I always look for your posts to see how many days we have left.

Glad to see everyone here and chatting away. I am really enjoying this thread and the e-mails we are sharing one on one.

As of today (now 4/26) my count down calendar shows 57 days until June 22! Some of us are counting to the day (or several days) before when we leave our respective homes for the journey to (hopefully) sunny Florida.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you soon. Let's keep this thread and the e-mails going to share information, excitement and stories.

Thanks!

Howard

I am testing the new timer. I do have a quick question. Can the kids bring their roller blades ? I told them it was too dangerous, but friends of theirs that have been on other ships say it'a allowed.

Thanks,

Joannel: You missed a character when copying & pasting the code from the Countdown Timer Generator. Please remove the old code from your auto-signature, regenerate the new one, and copy it again.

Also, please make a test post on the Tech Support board to make sure it works.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, I am not the most computer literate. I am glad to see it under 60 days. See every one soon.

Hey fellow June 22 cruisers, picked up a great back pack today top part has a drawstring and bottom is a square zipper section that is a small 12 pk cooler. It will be a great carryon for the plane and then for the islands for beach stuff and water bottles and sodas on a little ice, it looks just like a regular back pack, picked it up in Eckerd for $20.00. Also picked up the 16 pill bonine today. All set to sail now!!! How is everyone doing?

I found a dress today for the formal night. Except for a bathing suit I am all set. Need a few nice shirts for my son. Didn't buy or need seasickness medicine last year but may get it just in case. Do you think we will see the new anomated movie Lilo and Stitch--I believe it is coming out then. Last year we saw Princess Diaries. I hope all the May 11 cruisers post long trip reports so we can get all the news.

Hi again to all 22nd cruisers. That new backpack sounds great Ralph & Roberta, I hope it works well for you. Currently we have only one excursion booked--the Key West Conch tour train--, we went on it back in the mid-eightes and it was a-lot-of-fun!! Our kids (DS-17 & DS-13), are not too interested in planned excursions and would rather "play-it-by-ear". We are also trying to get organized for the cruise, but we don't seem to be as prepared as a lot of you!!!By the way, we did call and "reserve" four bikes on castaway cay and they mentioned that those were selling out quickly!! Hope this helps some of you, see ya later!!!

Hello to all June 22nd cruisers! My mom and I are eagerly awaiting our cruise documents. Has anyone received theirs yet? I booked the cruise through AAA in January. It was listed in the AAA Grand Vacations brochure. My TA told me that she doesn't expect the documents to arrive until two to three weeks before the cruise. I have read that some June 8th cruisers have received their documents.

I haven't booked any excursions yet. I think that we will probably take the Conch Train Tour in Key West on our own. My TA told me that it was very easy to find it and that I could get a AAA and senior discount if I did it on my own. On Grand Cayman, we are probably going to do the Grand Cayman Island Tour and maybe the Seaworld Explorer Semi-Submarine if my mom is able to climb down into it. When we were in Hawaii, the semi-submarine rides required climbing down a ladder which was very difficult for her to do. In Cozumel, we plan on doing the Chankanaab Sea Lion Discovery excursion. Of course, we will also do what we love to do no matter where we are - shop, shop, shop!

We are looking forward to meeting new friends! Any other Ohioans on the June 22nd cruise? We will be in cabin 7136.

I love Disney and Bowling Green State University hockey!

Hello to all June 22nd cruisers! We will be joining you too! We will arrive at the Beach Club on the 15th and then to the Magic on the 22nd. Our group is myself (34) ,DW (34), DS (6), and MIL and FIL( 53 and 54). It will be our first Disney Cruise. We will be celebrating our tenth anniversary. We went on the Big Red Boat and stayed at the Grand Floridian for the honeymoon and always thought we would be back before now but have gone to other places and visit Disneyland at least twice a year (sometimes more!) Our son is just as excited as us. Not his first cruise but first with Mickey! We are counting the days down at work and home!

Will anyone be scuba diving in Cozumel? I signed up and am looking forward to going! Scuba in the Pacific here(Monterey Bay) is cold so bring on the warm waters!!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Clark,Kristina, & Kyle
