Looking for March 6th Magic Cruisers

[minimouse43]

I got my documents last week and I booked directly with DCL!!! Maybe they go by last name or state or something like that. Don't worry they will show up soon!
Happy sailing!

I cant wait to have those doc's either. It wont seem real until then.

I am happy that myTA (YUCK) finally told us our room...2153. So I will be joining all of my new DIS friends on Deck 2.

TarraLee - A door decoration is a great idea. Are you using magnetic paper? Give me some ideas. I am a dunce when it comes to creativity.

norma30 - I am glad you finally got your room number. I saw that it is listed as a noisy room. I wouldn't worry about that. You will proably be so tired after chasing your 22mo old all day long that you'll sleep like a baby.

Madden6 - have you chosen any excursions yet? We are not planning anything. I want to play it by ear and do some things on our own. Probably a beach day in St. Maarten and a little shopping. Then we will get back on the ship. We are planning a trip to St. John on our own. Does anyone know id we will have to tender in?

Denae,
Creativity is not my forte either! I stole my ideas for a door dec from Verandah Man's website. http://www.verandahman.com/2003magicaltripreport.htm

You have to scroll down a little to see them, but he has a picture of his door and all the cute door decs he made. I made mine similar to his. I was going to print on regular paper, then glue it to heavier paper and put a magnetic strip at the top and the bottom of it.

Happy crafting!

Leeann ---------- My son is also 7 and we will be on the Golden Eagle shore excursion with you. He tells me that he is excited to know there will be a boy his age.

My son is 6-1/2 and when I told him there were 2 7 year old boys on the cruise he wanted to know if your sons liked video games and Yu-Gi-Oh? If so what games do they like?

Kb and Evans Family,

We are getting so excited about the cruise! We will have to get our 7 (or 6 1/2 ) year old boys together. Mine is a little concerned that he won't be in the club with his nine year old brother and I've decided to try and get him moved up but I know this isn't likely and I don't want to move my 9 year old down. He will be fine either way but I promised I would try.

kb I'm so glad you will be on the Golden Eagle with us. My 7 year old is really small for his age but being the youngest of 4 he thinks he can do anything they can

Bonnie my son is an XBox man...mostly NCAA Football and Sponge Bob. He isn't into Yu-Gi-Oh but you never know...

We haven't gotten our docs yet but our rooms are on Deck 6. With 6 of us we had to go as cheap as possible!
I'm so ready to go I can't quit reading this board.

I have to tell y'all this . . . After reading everyone's posts about receiving their documents, I began to worry that we would not get our documents since we booked through icruise.com and the DCL passsengers were still waiting for their documents. On Thursday, 1/22, I sent an e-mail to our TA, Jason, and asked if I could get our docs. before two weeks before sailing. (Like y'all, they had told us they would be sent two weeks prior to sailing.) I received a prompt e-mail from customer service that they would put a note on our reservation to send our documents as soon as they received them from Disney. To my great surprise and delight, we received our docs on Thursday, 1/27. What a wonderful surprise!

I hope to meet all of you on the ship. Our children are much older, so we probably won't be hanging around in the same areas! Still trying to decide what excursions we want to do.

Don't give up on the diets! I'm right there with you.

 

[Leeannb11]

plano4,

I have a dd 15 and ds 13 besides my ds 9 (almost 10) and ds 7. I'm a little anxious about the teen program but if they don't enjoy it there is so much else to do.
Are you from Plano Texas? We live in Midland but I grew up between Fort Worth and Dallas.

I didn't book thru Disney either so I think I may give my TA a call and see if they will send my docs as soon as they get them.

I will diet until I step on the ship and then I'm enjoying my week.

Evans Family,
My son loves Playstation and X-box. He plays a lot of different games. He is not really into Yu-gi-oh.

 

[The Wyoming Gang]

Hello everyone! We recieved a surprise upgrade notice today, from our travel agent. We were upgraded from a Cat 11 to a Cat 10, on Deck 2. We will be in room 2047. We are also on the later eating list and are hoping for an upgrade to the early list for our 4 yr old son. IF anyone knows how to get an upgrade on the dining times, please give us hints. I think a door decoration is a great idea to identify where all our newly found chat friends rooms are. We are hoping our little boy will find lots of new friends. We booked an excursion on St Martin, to go spend the day at the beach. We found that alot of the excursions where for older childern, starting at age 5 and up, so we felt like we could spend a beautiful day on the beach having fun in the sun. St Thomas we are going to just walk around and find fun things to do, we hope. Wow, I still can not believe this Wyoming Gang will be sailing away sooooon!!!! What fun to make friends on this chat room. Happy Packing, see ya soon.

 

[TarraLee]

Congrats on the upgrade Wyoming Gang! What a great suprise!!

As far as the dining, you can go to dining changes and ask once you get onboard. I'm sure they'll try to help you.

30 days to go! I need to dig out the summer clothes-- they're in the back of the closet right now...almsot time to start packing!

 

[norma30]

Congrats on the upgrade Wyoming Gang! We were also upgraded from category 11 to category 10...room 2153. This is the last room aft so nobody will find us there as nobody will be walking by.

My DD will be almost 2 on the cruise. We also have the late seating. At first I was alittle worried about this but the more I think about it the more it makes sense. I hate the idea of rushing back early to try to get DD to nap and get cleaned up just to make the 6PM dinner. This way we can all get rested and showered and take our time...maybe even catch a show before. We are on the waiting list but if it doesnt come through I dont think it will be that bad for us.

We are not booking excursions...they are soooo expensive. We are going to relax and do everything on our own. Someone mentioned Coral World as a great trip with the young ones and Coki Beach is right next door (and reportedly beautiful)...thats the plan for St. Thomas ( plus shopping). St Martin will just be a relaxing day on Orient Beach.

Its seems that we have evened out the number of Princesses with Princes. I cant wait to meet all of you...

 

[Madden6]

We are not going on any excursions either. We decided it would be too much with our 14month old. The kids will love going to the beach and see new sights in the different ports.
We found out that because we are staying in a Disney hotel the night before, we do not have to check in at Port Canaveral. I am going to double check on that but it will be one less thing to do!!

What is the countdown anyway????

 

[mickeyboat]

Countdown is T-Minus 29 days and counting.

We finally got flight information from DCL. We will not arrive in Orlando until 12:56. That means we will probably not get to port until around 3PM. There go Palo ressies. Oh well, I will get on a wait list and check with the restaurant throughout the trip. We will probably still be able to get in at some point.

Take it all in stride...this is a vacation after all.

Denae

 

[TarraLee]

Denae,
We are sailing on a CM rate, so we can't make Palo ressies til after 3, as a rule. So, I hear you! Not to worry, there are 7 nights, and everybody only gets one (at least at first), so I think you should be safe for one. At least that's what I am hoping.

And your attitude is awesome! It is a vaccation, and I am just going to go with the flow, or waves, or whatever.

Less than a month now!
Tarralee

 

[Kimnicki]

TarraLee and Denae, do you know if they let you make ressies for other people? If so, I'd be happy to make them for you. Let me know if you find out any info.

Kim

 

[TarraLee]

Kiminicki,
I think the only way you can do that is if you are all eating together as a group. Ie, if a guest is traveling with other guests, in several cabins, then one person may make the reservation for all of them to eat at Palo together.

How nice of you to offer, but we want you to be able to have a nice romantic dinner at Palo with your DH! Hopefully, though, we'll be able to have all the DISers eat lunch together on Sunday?

Thanks again, very nice of you to offer!
Tarralee

 

[Leeannb11]

We got our docs today and I didn't even have to call the TA. I'm so excited and it really is just around the corner. We have main seating at dinner and while it is what I wanted after reading the boards I'm wondering if we will be in a big hurry every evening. Oh well I don't think it will really matter too much either way. I've got to start thinking about packing...less than 30 days!

Lee Ann

 

[mickeyboat]

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone had a good weekend planning. I shopped for a laundry bag, shoe holder, and some clothes for me and the kids. I bought some knit dresses for them which make packing and dressing a lot easier. I even found a dress for me. I was worried that there would be no summer clothes in the stores but they are jam-packed with them.

Can't wait!
