[kandyk]

aloha to you also,
to the cruise and an early
we will all have to get together to help you celebrate!
congrats on getting the coveted sph..or even knowing what it is...i have a porthole but would have gotten the sph if i knew what it was at the time..thanks to tom and this board i now know!! oh well, maybe next time..
no matter we are all going to have a great time
i wish disney would come up wth the point value..it is killing me to wait..
well gotta go watch early morning weather..
take care,

I agree with you on wishing Disney would hurry up with the point value. I check online almost everyday to see if it's there yet. I just don't know if we will have enough points. I do know we have enough right now for their other cruises so I hope this won't be much different. I just won't let myself get in full planning mode until I know for sure!

Hey guys,
My wife's cousin and I are celebrating our birthdays on June 29 the day of our departure.
I told my wife I want to celebrate my 50th birthday on Disney Cruise around Christmas but this came Mexican Riveria Cruise on DCL was God's special present for me. What a way to celebrate a big milestone.
My wife was all for it. An to top it off we got the SPH 5020. Got up super early
on opening day and got the room I wanted and the price of a cat 10.
Just can't wait. This will be our 4th DCL cruise. We got our Med cruise to go on
also 07/07/07.
Hope to meet all of you on the ship and if anyone is staying at the Atenea Mar 07/05-07. will be there got a great price on travelocity.

Aloha,
hawaiian mickey

Just checking in!

I love all the birthdays! What a great way to start the cruise off.

We just came home last Sunday from The Freedom of the Seas and I'm re-packing my "cruise stuff" for June 29th!

This will go by fast... I have to lose the weight I gained.

I will be reading all about the 7-7-07 sailing!

Hi All,
My family, DH, DS 14, DS13, DD8 and my best friend with her DS 15, DS13
will all be on this cruise. My family and I have sailed on the Disney Magic every year except this year (insert alot of tears this year). We absolutely love it. Last year we were part of the Dis boards and then had a meet and great on deck Day 1. Our kids loved emailing and talking to other kids prior to the cruise. It got us all ready to go. We all had T-shirts (lime green of course) made up with our family name on it. My husband is still rolling his eyes at that one
Anyway looking forward to getting to know everyone on this thread. We are arriving one week early and doing Disneyland/Hollywood. Any suggestions as to staying on property at DL?
Is it really necessary??

Yeah! Looks like there will be lots of teen boys on this cruise! We are traveling with our friends too! TWO teen boys, two young Oceaneers.

We live 20 min. from Disneyland and I would suggest any hotel on property. There are all great. You will love Downtown Disney. Universal Studios and Universal walk way is always fun.

Hey all. We (DW and DS6) will be sailing on this cruise. We are Cat 6 on deck 6. We will be celebrating DS's 6th birthday on the 29th, and our 9th wedding anniversary on 7/3. I hope they plan to have fireworks for the 4th.

Hi everyone! Had to book this cruise to soften the blow of leaving the June 27-July 7 Mediterranean Cruise. We waited to book onboard per Member Services suggestion. I have a funny feeling that was not good advice. I don't know what the opening prices were, but then I'm not sure I really want to know.

We're all excited about the cruise, especially since we won't have to travel 24 hours to get to the ship, probably only a couple of hours or so. It will be me, DH, DD12 and DD5 at time of cruise.

Reading through the thread, I noticed a lot of boys. Hmm. Can people with 12 year old +/- girls please sound off so I don't get too concerned?

Nice to see there's a lot annual passholders as well.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi Dan - Hi M&C

M&C...
Wow, lucky you! I love reading all the trip reports coming in lately from the europe sailings.

Dan, I completely forgot on the 4th of July that THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, we will be on the Magic!

Time goes by so fast.....

We are from Orange County, DS15, DD9 - my DS18 will be on a trip to Europe with his graduating senior class.

After sailing on The Freedom of the Seas this past April, we are looking forward to sailing with friends out of Long Beach! No AIRFARE! I'm excited to see all the changes on the Magic from drydock.

Time goes by so fast....... Before we know it it will 9 months...6months...

I need to start my Disney Diet now!

 

[Kouris_Family]

Just got off the Magic 7-7-07 Med. What a trip that was, we had the best time ever and now can't wait to do it again in Mex. It will be nice to drive 50 min. not fly for 15+ hours with 4+ hour of lay overs and delays and lost baggage. The airlines are crazy right now, they need to do something about all their problems.
Anyway, it will be nice to be a castaway member this time and get more Palo's, we love Palo's.
I'll be watching the thread to see what's going on. Let's see 11 months, 4 days. Hehe

Hi Everyone!! Welcome to all of the new posters!! We just applied for our passports this month.....hopefully we'll get them by the time of our cruise!! I've been looking at all of the '05 Navigators and getting prepared beforehand. Very exciting!! Can't wait to be chatting with you all very soon....before you know it, it'll be here!

 

[Disney Fans]

Hey!!!
Its been a few months for me, so I am checking in! Looks like several more people are going!
Hope everyone has had a great summer!! We couldn't book the Med ( we sure tired, there was a super great price but DH couldn't end up getting off work for that long)
We went to Hawaii a few weeks ago!! Was fun. But really still missed the old ears!LOL
But at least we have a WDW trip coming up in a few weeks! Can't wait for that!
Hows everyone doing!???? I bet more people will start talking when it gets around the 6 month mark from the cruise.


Cool I caught a Topper!!!
( that is what I learned from past DCL cruise meet talk, if you get a topper it is considered Good Luck!)
