Magic In Paradise: 10/8-10/15 2011 All cruisers check in here

[Octoberbride03]

Welcome aboard Heidi. So thrilled to have you join us. And i am sooo glad someone is counting down the days till we set sail. I'd ask someone to countdown the hours but that might get too depressing. My math is terrible so I'll just leave the counting to everybody else

Pop on in and enjoy. We have a few cruisers who will be cruising very shortly after the drydock is finished. So we will have fresh reports on everything new for the Magic. I can't wait to be on her again.

aboard. It is good to another DISser with us. I am one of those can't stand to stay away that long and will be on the Magic in 5 days. We are currently scheduled for a Western but Hurricane Paula might have other ideas and we'll head East instead. I'll give a full report of the changes from drydock when we return. Again welcome aboard and if you have any questions, please do not hestiate to ask.

I am a little early here but I am off to the Magic tomorrow. Have a great weekend and I'll report what going on the Magic next week. Take Care.

Good morning fellow cruisers. It is that time of the week again. Another week has gone by.
We now have only 51 weeks to go to the Magic.

I can't wait until we have more people signing in for our cruise. I have been reading the 2 threads for the fish extender gift ideas and they are awesome. I have been getting some really good ideas though not expensive. It is going to be a great cruise and I can't wait. At least we are under the 1 year mark finally. LOL

Greetings everyone! My wife, Melissa, & I just got off of the Wonder on 10/14. We rebooked onboard for 10/08/2011....well, we'd already booke it before the Wonder, but reshopped it in order to take advantage of discounts & onboard credit!

We are in stateroom 5024 - one of the SPH rooms! Now we are holding our breath and praying that things work out. We are both teachers and our school schedules don't come out until the spring. We are keeping our fingers crossed that the school calendar will stay the same as 2010! If so, this will be our fall break cruise.

This will be our 4th Disney cruise! In the past, we've done:
1- 3 night Wonder Honeymoon cruise May 2008
2- 7 night Western Oct 2009
3- 4 night Wonder Oct 2010

we are DVC members & I am a former WDW Cast Member. Tons of WDW & DCL experience we can share if you have any questions!

We are looking forward to a DIS meet and FE exchange. We had a great time at both on the 10/10/10 cruise. We all met at the Promenade Lounge at 3PM on the first day prior to the safety drill. That worked well.

Lookingforward to getting to know you all!!!

Cheers,
Josh

I’ve been meaning to reply to this thread for a while, now that our summer holiday is well and truly over we can start getting excited and planning our first ever Disney cruise vacation.

 

[Octoberbride03]

Welcome aboard everybody. Looks like things are starting to hop now that we're hitting the year mark. I just finished a vacation myself, though sadly it was not on DCL. Just a trip up to Gettysburg.

Have a busy week ahead of me, but any info y'all want in the first post just let me know.

Thoughts on personal website, Face book as well, if you want either or both of them

I just wanted to say Hi.. I'm looking at joining this cruise but haven't put any money down yet. My family and I came back from my first Disney cruise to the Bahamas Oct3. It was a surprise birthday present for my husband's birthday... I told him 2 days before we left. I was looking at a "big" trip out east for next year when DH says "why don't we scrap that and go on another cruise" He must have really liked it So I'm not saying no if he's willing. I don't know if I can pull this off but I'm going to try.

 

[JKSWonder]

After talking about it for awhile, DH and I decided to move this cruise to the August 25, 2012 on the Fantasy.

We wanted to take advantage of the new ship and also wanted to avoid having to pull both of our kids out of school if at all possible.

I'm sorry we won't be joining you all and I hope you all have a wonderful cruise!

Greetings Fellow Cruisers!

DH told me to check out the thread and I was surprised to see so many posts already! Looks like this will be a great trip (and countdown to it)!

Sorry to see you leave but have a great time on your cruise. The Magic is in great shape for you in a little over a week. We are great time and have had great weather on this Western this week. Please note the crew is double staffed currently as there are lot of trainees as in 3 weeks a bunch of CMs are heading off to the Dream. We booked the Fanasty for 6/23/10 while on board as well as this cruise. We will miss the Magic.

Boy and here I thought the thread was going slow

Welcome aboard. I expect that pretty soon this thread will be going non-stop in the planning stages.

Hello all. My DW and I booked this on our B2B. It will be our 9th DCL cruise. My name is Alan. I will be honest there is only a 50/50 chance we will sail on this. It is kinda a dummy date, but at the same time one we may take if we can fit it in. Still as if now we are on.

 

[TIGGER/POOH4]

Just off the Magic waiting at MCO for our flight. So sad but looking forward now to this cruise in 350 days, so let's get it started.

Good morning fellow cruisers. It is that time of the week again. Another week has gone by.
We now have only 50 weeks to go to the Magic.

 

[Octoberbride03]

Welcome aboard Alan

I completely understand about the dummy date, but i do hope you'll decide to stay with us. I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun

TIGGER/POOH4

I entirely agree that it is absolutely

TIME TO START PLANNING!!



With that said. See my next post

FISH EXTENDER EXCHANGE SIGN UP:
Since no one else has volunteered, and I need something of a fun project in my life right now, I am going to host the FE exchange for our cruise

Send an Email to moluvsdisneymagic@cox.net
Please list the following:

1. Your DISboard name.
2. Stateroom Number
3. Names, ages and gender of everyone in your stateroom that will be participating in the FE Exchange.

Once I receive your email, I will send out a list of participants. PLEASE check the list to make sure I have your information correct. Some people make personalized things with names on them and I'd hate to spell someone's name wrong and not know it. Or I'd really feel awful if I have your stateroom number wrong and you don't get any FE gifts at all! So, please double check my list when I send it. THANKS!!

This will be my first time running it. So questions such as price minimums and maximums and how many gifts per room can be decided as we go. Personally, I feel that anything goes for this. For our last cruise we made some home made gifts and may do that again. We got some great gifts from everybody no matter if it was store bought or not.

Its just such a great way to share the joy of cruising with everybody

Participating in the Fish Extender Exchange is completely optional. Feel free to do or spend whatever you're comfortable with. As for the Fish Extender itself, some people buy them, others want to make theirs, whatever you choose is fine. The same rule applies to the "goodies"! You can buy or make them!

What is a fish extender exchange?

Hello Everyone,

My family and I just got back today from our first trip on the Magic. We enjoyed ourselves so much we decided to book our next cruise (Oct. 8 2011) while still on board.

We are looking forward to meeting and sailing with all of you!
