LIVE FROM THE "BRINGING THE MAGIC HOME" 8/20 REPO CRUISE

[seaulater]

Hi, you all!!!

Hope everyone's having a great time on the MAGIC and getting ready for a wonderful experience next Sunday. After all, you'll be having a "once in a lifetime" experience (once every other day for me... but that's a different story )

I don't think I'll be able to be one of the pilots this coming Sunday but will certainly be there from the top roof at the visitors' center in Miraflores locks. I have to work in a couple of hours and I will check the schedule for next Sunday... maybe I'll be able to give you *tentative* times for your transit on Sunday. It's been raining a lot for the last couple of weeks... but it was the same in May but then, *Magic-ally* we had a beautiful sunny day Hope we have the same luck this time around.

Miss you Alvaro! Wish you could jump on board Sunday so others could meet you and have as great a time as we did in May on Kelly's verandah! Thanks for the memories to last a lifetime!

Excellent, Linda - nice memories of that day

[AlvaroLuis]

I wish I could be there and relive that magical day..... we had such a good time in May!

Nice pics Linda!

 

[DonnettaR]

Great photos. I can't until Sunday. Did someone tell what time the ship will go through the canal?

Hi everyone!! Things are going great. Dan & Scott's Dan is sitting next to me now. Who could ask for more! The pub crawl was a success I hear. We went rafting yesterday. It was great!!! I'm getting the details for the pub crawl -- all I can say is OMG!!!!!!!!!!

Posting is getting to be difficult, connection is not great here. Maybe it's all the storms and rain. Dan says I'm on vacation -- no more posts. We'll see about that. Great pictures, but posting will have to wait.

Alvaro is going to try and get an exact schedule. On Saturday night, there should be in the Navigator a special list with the exact times at which locks. Hopefully, someone on the ship will post.

We were up and out at 4:30 a.m. on the ship in May. didn't want to miss anything.

I would say be looking on the PC webcam no later than 6 a.m. PC time.

Roy Disney is onboard! Wow! I would love to go to any seminars/events where he will be featured! Wish he was on our May repro!


ENJOY YOUR CRUISE EASTBOUNDERS!!!

Roy Disney! I would love to meet him! The cruise sounds like it's going really well, except for the grey skies. Oh well it will get better i'm sure! Have fun everyone! And tell Roy I said hello!

Tigrrtum, I know where the quotes from your signature came from. I love that episode.

Aparaphrse more than an exact quote. Thanks for recognizing it. This is one of the scenes from the series that I never forgot. Jason played this clip in his seminar on the May Repo. I would love to see the entire thing again someday, I would not be surprized if it is in some silver-boxed DVD set (I hope, I hope! )

Thanks for logging on Alvaro, looking forward to seeing you wave from the tower when we see you on the webcam

Sounds like seas are calmer now

Be patient with Roy for being in a downsized suite, don't be too hard on him, after all, he was out of work for a while

How totally AWESOME he is on the cruise!! I kept secretly wishing he was on the May Repo.

Tigrrtum, you used to be able see it all the time when they had Vault Disney on the Disney Channel. My dad taped it, so we used to watch it all the time.

OMG, just got up a few hours ago, to bad I had to come in for work today.

The crawl was awesome, we srarted the crawl with fireworks, then went to Barbas Rojas, then to see Dan Da Man jump from the bungy, after that to Mangos, then to Hard Rock where the live music didn't start untill an hour later so we went to Sr. Frogs and at this point I could barely take any pics, with all of the jello shooters we were having.

I have to do some stuff in the office, and in the evening I'll upload the pics
from last night.

Still can'tremember how I got home??

And a word of advise, te-kill-ya, beers and vodka do not mix well.

We finally got a nice sunny day here on the Magic, although pretty windy. It cleared up late morning. Haven't heard of anyone running into Roy yet. Went to Tracy's wine tasting at 12:45. There were lots and lots of bottles of wine. I would guess around 125 or so in attendance. She did a great job of putting it together. Heard the Imagineer talk on Hong Kong Disneyland. Lot of great information and pictures. It opens on Sept. 12. The giveaways were merchandise from the park not yet on sale on WDI goodies. I would have loved to have gotten one of the pins. He had 5 or 6 questions and those that answered correctly got the prizes. Off to Palo for dinner.

Oh my gosh! when are they going to release those 2007 dates so I can book one of these cruises!!!!!

When I paid our deposit for our 2007 cruise (don't know where or when yet), the gal on board who made our reservation said the dates & itineraries should be out mid to late October!!!! YIPPPEEEE - we are sooooo excited to go again!!!! can i wait TWO YEARS??????

 

[AlvaroLuis]

Sorry gang! Up until last night at midnight no schedule had been posted on our computer for your transit on Sunday, but it might come up today... I'll keep you posted! Count on it being early in the morning. You ARE booked for Sunday, and due to the size of the ship you must transit during daytime... so... that's all I can say right now. Oh... and that there will be 3 lucky pilots with you all day!!!
