Looking for March 6th Magic Cruisers

[kb111570]

Phew!!!!!! Finally received our Docs. I was getting nervous. Can't wait I'm so excited.

 

[AndPigletToo]

How rude of me, I just posted without introducing myself... Hey everyone! Lisa here! Going on the Magic with all of you. Let me just say that I am very, very very,very, very, very, very, very, very, very very very, very, very very, ........excited to be going on our FIRST Disney cruise. Hope to meet you all! You'll find me, I'll be the one with a huge smile on her face. Cold her in NY today, 26, but looking forward to much needed WARM breezes.

Hey! Did you know....


Full moon the night we sail, how utterly romantic is that?:

 

[Leeannb11]

Sooo ready to be cruising and sooo not packed! Oh well I'm always a last minute person when it comes to packing and I know it will get done even if I'm up all next Thursday night. My kids are finally as excited as I am so I guess it is time to hit the ship

Welcome AndPigletToo

The only thing left for me to do is dance.
We are leaving Tuesday after DD gets out of school, someone tape According to Jim for me. We will be somwhere in Ky. by then. I'm shooting for the champaign brunch on Sunday so I might be late for Dis meet, save me a seat. :

Can you see me dance? Don't laugh! Actually it is DH who looks like Frankenstein's monster when he dances.

you would not believe what they are saying.

I also just ordered some Safesea from drugstore.com. I can't see letting my kids get stung when I could have prevented it. Probably just a big waste of money but it makes me feel better.

Leeannb11 - I am struggling with packing too. I have a lot of stuff out, just not packed. I did put my kids clothes in ziploc bags last night. It is amazing how much less room clothes take when the air is squeezed out of them.

DH is finally as excited as I am. The other night he said "I am going to do whatever I want and buy whatever I want." I wish I had tape-recorded that. Believe me, though, I won't forget it.

We are all excited too! Only a week left! We are leaving March 4th, I wanted to make sure I didn't miss the boat!!!
See ya soon!!!

 

[MSUSpartanandfam]

Wow, all of you are so prepared! With midterms and such, I have NOTHING packed; I haven't even begun to think about it, really....I actually don't leave Michigan until the EARLY morning of the 6th (6:00am). Get off of the plane in Orlando, jump the bus to the boat, and meet the rest of my family there! Crazy travel plans!

Hi all! I'm almost done packing! I feel so organized, it's so unlike me I got all of my supplies...duct tape, shoe holder etc. I bought a few space saver bags from Target, pretty cheap $5.99 for 2 bags, and packed all of my clothes in them for the trip. Wow do they save space. I'll be bringing my little dirt devil vac to suck the air out on the trip home.

Hi to MSUSpartanandfam and AndPigletToo I've added you names to the cruisers list on page 10, go check it out if you'd like!

Anyone else feel like their jumping out of their skin?

BTW, did anyone book the Romance at Sea package? I was interested in how you did with booking Palo. I had been debating booking it for the last few months. We're going to try and do Palo and a couples massage anyway.

Bye everyone!

Kim

If anyone needs any extra mickey paint chips, I think I have some left...

 

[mickeyboat]

Kimnicki -

I need Mickey chips. We live almost an hour away from Home Depot and haven't had a chance to get there. Would you be willing to mail them to me? That would be great. I want everyone to know who that I'm a DIS'er.

I talked to my TA several weeks ago about the Romantic Escape package. They were actuall reluctant to take the reservation within 30 days so it may not be an option for you. We decided against it. DH will be reluctant to do a massage, my TA said DCL would not honor a request for a certain dining rotation (contrary to what I have seen here) so it would be diffifcult to plan a Palo dinner. She also said you could not pre-book brunch. Plus, how romantic can we get with little DD's in the room?

I have almost all my shopping done - hooray!

Denae , I sent you a PM

Hey thanks Kimnicki! We are in Cabin 6556, hope its a good one, and we have the early (main) dinner seating. Question, what is the deal with the paint chips? Do I need one? Also if someone can answer me this, is the Embarkation time what time we are getting on the boat, or is that what time it leaves? Hope I don't miss it! I found this site by accident, but i am sooo glad I did! See you all on March 6th!

Just reading the latest on all my fellow crusiers. I can't believe this time next week I'll be packing for a week in the sun!!! We just got bombarded with snow last night...about 3" in Georgia. Everything (except my work) seems to be closed down here. Out my window all is white but soon.... and that warm sand between my toes.

Has anyone set a place for the DIS meet Sunday at lunch? I haven't had a chance to read all of the back posts. My kids and I are looking forward to meeting some friends aboard, especially since I'll be traveling as a single adult. My son is soooo excited about the Stack and being able to exercise his 13 year old freedom a bit. He's so funny about wanting to meet his first girlfriend on the ship...any 13 year old girls? I think it's sweet since he wasn't interested in girls a month ago. They grow up so quickly.

I think we are all going to have a great time. I want to relax and soak up some sun, have a few Konk Koolers and maybe get up the nerve to do some dancing.

Hi Mickeyboat.
Your TA is definitely wrong.
I made the arrangement with All Seasons Travel last week, and this week booked my Palo supper, lunch and brunch, had my choice of ANY dining rotation I wanted, and chose which spa my DW and I wanted from the two and the times. IF you still wanted it you still have time to book it.

Cheers,
Grumbo

Our home depot is out of the alien green mickey paint chips too and no other color! It's really strange because I think the only people that would know about them is people that are on this board and I don't think there are very many people on this ship from where we are from and all in the same area. So we grabbed the next green too, like norma30 did.

Well good luck packing everyone!

Hey Mickeyboat--
Guess it's a good thing that we don't understand what they are saying!

Good morning fellow cruisers. Am I dreaming or are we really going to be on the Magic in 8 days? I laid awake for almost an hour last night thinking about being there. I also did some ironing. My kids have never seen an iron in action so you should all feel special that I am ironing for you.

Have a great weekend.

[norma30]

Mickeyandtink...I think we are going to start a new trend...lol

8 days YIPEE!!!

My daughter came down with strep throat at the beginning of this week so we are battling that right now. This should mean we are in the clear for the cruise however.

76 and sunny is the forcast for Cape Canaveral next Saturday...what an improvement from NY weather.

 

[Madden6]

My husband and I are trying to figure money out!! We are going to bring some travellers checks. Can we use these on the boat? Or does everything go on the credit card?
Packed a little more today. Little by little the suit cases are filling up! I think I may go find those things that everyone was talking about that gets the air out of the clothes!
One week from today we depart! (4 am in the morning though, YIKES)

 

[minimouse43]

I think that you use your card for everything on the ship. Then when you settle the bill you can pay for it however you want. I am planning on bringing travelers checks, cash and a credit card. I am sure on the islands we stop at you can use traveler checks.
Just a note on those bags that get the air out of your clothes.... I packed all my clothes about a week ago in them and decieded to go through all if it again......(let me tell you, I am famous for taking to much stuff!!!) anyhow all my clothes got wrinkled! So I opt to roll all my clothes instead. Rolling them seems to work for me from past experience. I just thought this info might save you some money.
Hope this helps!!

 

[mickeyboat]

Madden6 -

I think guest services will cash travelers checks for you. We are bringing a mix of both cash and travelers checks but most everything will go on the credit card.

I used large ziploc bags to pack clothes. It works pretty well to get the air out. Be careful when you pack that you don't go over weight limits for your bags.
