June 22 Magic (Western)

[JOANNEL]

Where's a good place for dinner? I really don't care for hotel food.
I wonder if there is a good pizza place? My kids would love it and it would be easy.

 

[keenercam]

Joanne--
There is a great pizza place right next door--KELSEY's. That is where we will be. our kids loved the personal pizzas and I had the best calzone ever, which is saying a lot from a woman with the maiden name of "Piscopo"

 

[JOANNEL]

That's great. That is one thing I miss. Is good New York greasy pizza. Pizza here just doesn't do it.

See ya there.

 

[Grumpy's Crew]

Hi Ralph & Roberta!!Hello as well to all the rest of the 22nd cruisers. We, like everyone else, have been rather busy of late--with school ending for the kids, and all the hectic things associated with it. We, like some of you, HAVE-NOT received our cruise Doc's yet either!! It seems to be a luck-of-the-draw type thing, doesn't it? We are also in a Cat.4 family suite--as some of the rest of you, ours is on the Port side, just ahead of the forward elevators. Did I miss the posting, or did we ever get around to designating a place for all of the "Green-Ribbon" cruisers to meet on board during the sail-away-party?? We will be coming over from a few days at WDW (Coranado-Springs-Resort), so we won't see anyone until boarding----or soon thereafter. Keep in touch everone and keep posting!!! SEE--YAA--SOON!!!!!!!!!

Ok I'm going to start getting cranky--July 4 cruisers have their documents and we don't. We'll be at the Radisson in the early afternoon-taking Happy Limo because we have 6 and I promised my son the limo ride--plus too much luggage for a town car. WHERE ARE MY DOCUMENTS!!! Beth

 

[rcdisneyfam]

We arrive at MCO around 11:30 a.m. and town car service in 2 vehicles to Radisson. We arrived on the same flights last year and were at the Radisson around 1 or 1:30 p.m. and we were able to check right in. I believe check in is 3 p.m., but they will hold your luggage until room is ready and you can head to the pool/bar area. We can just all start meeting around the pool with our green ribbons on, we all should be able to find each other fairly easy. The on board, as we discussed on Deck 10 overlooking the Goofy Pool where the sailaway party is Starboard side. Anyway, I hope you guys get your docs real soon...Some Pixie Dust being sent your way. Our kids don't get out of school until the week before the cruise. So things are kind of crazy here, they had a 4 day weekend for the holiday. See ya.

 

[Lolita]

Unfortunately, we won't be arriving until around dinner time. Our flight is supposed to get in around 4 o'clock but you know how that goes. We tried to get the first flight out in the morning but to no avail. We decided that everyone in the Philadelphia area must be going to Disney that week because our 1:30 flight is also sold out. I'm going to make sure we are there in plenty of time for check in. Don't want to get bumped.
Roberta, like you our kids don't get out of school until the 14th. We have so much homework and projects and exams left to do. I just keep my mind focused on a nice cold beverage and watching Port Canaveral disappear behind us.

 

[rcdisneyfam]

Well, our kids are done the week of June 17th and Ross' last exam is the 20th. Rianna actually misses her last day and 2 half days of school. It is a crazy year for classes, graduation is 6/22 and the middle school and elementary schools have to go until 6/25. But we are leaving on 6/21 and oh well, they can have school without Rianna!!! Ha!! When I checked a year ago, the schools said no problem graduation is 6/22 school will be done. NOT!!! We booked anyway and Port Canaveral here we come, not soon enough. Beth Corl - it was great talking with you on the phone, can't wait to meet everyone in person.

 

[DiSnEyGrL13]

Still no documents here! I wish they would come, but we are expecting them soon. Since we booked air through disney, we had to wait for our airplane tickets to be printed, then they will ship the tickets along with the documents. So that mystery is solved. Next, did anyone else book air through disney? If so what time is your flight? Ours is like around 9:30 unfortunaltly. We are having a memorial day picnic so there is a lot to do in Pittsburgh! Counting down the days...

 

[Corl4]

Hi everyone! We won't be at the Radisson the night before since we are spending 3 days at WDW. While you are sitting around the pool we'll probably be somewhere in Epcot (our favorite park probably seeing the France movie for the 100th time!). Please have a drink for us and we'll look forward to meeting everyone on deck 10!
Roberta, it was great talking to you! Thanks for the call!
Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

Beth

Did a little shopping for Rianna today and now we are out in the "Sunshine", yes I said "Sunshine" in Syracuse!!! It is only in teh 50's though, but the sun feels great. Rain tomorrow and hopefully nice MOnday. Those documents for everyone that did not receive them have to come in this week. More Pixie Dust your way. Keep in touch and God Bless America!!!

 

[TENNDVC]

Happy Memorial Day!!

Sorry some of you haven't gotten cruise documents yet. Maybe the FEDEX man needed a vacation too. Hope your documents arrive tomorrow.

We have been pouring over navigators and rereading everything we have printed out on ports of call.
Bought a few more items for trip and will hit the mall tomorrow for more things for the boys. Never have enough shorts and T-Shirts.

We will be at Radisson in afternoon or early evening.

Well we hit the outlets yesterday, Sunday and are finishing up the clothes shopping. Now just the odds and ends, film, sunscreen, etc...Taking care of yard work, trimming the landscaping and heading over to Ralph's sisters' for a BBQ in a little while. They are the ones going on the cruise with us and our other neighbors, all should have a good time. Our last Caribbean Party is going to be June 8th and we will make last minute plans. I have been highlighting things on the navigators and going to make notes and will have something to compare with our navigators on the cruise. Well, hope all of you are having a Great Memorial Day as it is almost 80 here in Syracuse today and we are loving it. Take care and talk to you all soon....

 

[Laurajean1014]

Has any done the Art of Entertaining? I believe it starts at 10:00 am. I missed everyone on the EC tour last year, but do not want to miss this year.

Does anyone have any comments to share?

Having a great Memorial Day!

 

[rcdisneyfam]

Laura, I am thinking of doing this series this time around. My Mom did it last year when we all went on the Eastern. She loved it. Ralph and I did the Navigator Series last year, so this time may be the Art of Entertaining Series. Got some great sunning today and can't believe we go in 3 weeks and 4 days!!!!

 

[rcdisneyfam]

Hey everyone, back to work today but that means one day closer to the cruise!!! Hope everyone is well and talk to you all soon....

 

[keenercam]

Hey, everyone!!
We have documents!!!
Except for a small error (our home zipcode), they seem to be perfect!
A nice surprise--we got the coupon for the American Express white glove treatment--10% off a $75 purchase at Treasure Ketch and 10% off certain pre-booked equipment rentals at Castaway Cay.
It is beginning to seem very real!!
Hope the rest of you had the same pleasant surprise this morning!

(sorry, couldn't help myself--my excitement cannot be contained)

 

[JOANNEL]

Good morning all,

I hope every one had a great memorial day. We also got some good sun, food and friends in. Three weeks and counting. I still need some clothes but hopefully this weekend we will hit the outlets in Foley, Al. We are going to Biloxi Miss. to see Dan Fogelberg friday night and do a litttle gambling. Not much though have to save those $$'s for the mouse.

Take care all and see you soon.

 

[tombeaman]

I've been quietly reading everyone's growing anticipation for the past few weeks; you've all got me so excited I feel like a radioactive ion in a microwave!

Would someone give me an approximate price of an on-board spa treatment? Are there other on-board services for which they charge? (Besides drinks and arcade)

Thanks for the info! See you on Deck 10!

 

[rcdisneyfam]

Tom - check www.castawayclub.com for the spa treatment list and prices. You will find everything you need to know there. Also, dcltribute.com has a lot to offer as far as info on the cruises. They are the best websites out there.
