Don't know HOW you took this picture, but coooooolest pic ever!



Missed that little fine line 'last at sea day', but we still won't be doing Palo anyway, so it doesn't matter. I'd like to do it, but the others nixed it...But maybe someone on here can book one before they're gone!

I actually didn't take it. Was looking on Photobucket for a graphic like I posted yesterday and found it. So I STOLE it

We're not doing Palo either. We really liked it, but brunch was not our thing, and we don't need to have Supper there every cruise either.

Actually no, but its probably time to get around to that

Who's got suggestions?

Maureen, our last name is Richardson just in case you needed it.
I vote for somewhere on deck 9 or 10 at 3:00 or so which is close to the buffet right? I heard that deck 10 was a great place to watch the party at 4:30 so we could have places staked out already for that.

 

[Lauralooneyfordisney]

Oh, I forgot. We booked the Bernards Tours also at 9. We love seeing a little bit of different things but aren't too keen on renting a car in a foreign country so that will work great for us. It is pretty cheap for an all day tour. We figure we will get to see more of the island that way. I have one excursion planned. Yeah!! That may be all I get to do until we board the ship.

 

[TIGGER/POOH4]

Still love the pic even with the qualification.

TGIF - I can't match that one but here is a quiet morning just watching the clouds go by. Just relaxing

Hey, I posted #2143 on page 143. I should win something.

I also vote for deck 9. This way the kids can keep playing in the pools.

I'm up for that we will hopefully be up at deck 10 again for the sail away party that's where we was on the last cruise and had a great view of the party. Deck 9 seemed a little crowded for us.

At the rate we're going that may be all we do too

Rich and I have decided to wait until our TA sends the final itinerary info, which should be soon. They usually include an excursion book with it for our Ports. Last time it was more expensive than DCL, but also had more interesting things to do, so we'll give that a look see before final decisions on St. Thomas

Hey, that's great to know since we both use the same TA!!! I know they recommended another excursion company but I didn't know we got a 'final itinerary info' sheet.

Yeah, I can't remember if it comes with your final PIF invoice or they sent it separate I'll find out next week when my Final invoice arrives.

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

weeks to go to the Magic.

Hello everyone! We are SO excited to be booked on our first ever Disney cruise. My husband and I went on another "party" cruise line in 2007 which left a lot to be desired. My parents have been on several Disney Cruises and can't say enough good things about them! Our party includes me, my husband, 4 yr old son, my Mom and Dad and 18 yr old brother.

Our 4 year old son loves everything Disney. He can't wait to go on the "Mickey Boat" and swim in the Goofy Pool

I am new at this forum thing, so let me know if there is anything I need to be doing!

12 weeks from now we will be boarding! Yahoo!

 

[TIGGER/POOH4]

aboard the Magic to Paradise crusie to the Eastern Caribbean. We have a good mix of veterans and newbies here on this thread. If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to jump in. We will try to answer any questions or point you to where you can find the answer. This is my 5th cruise on the Magic and 3rd on the Eastern itinerary. And yes 12 weeks to the Magic.

Oh i forgot, hopefully when the final itinerary info comes it will be clear as to whether we are tendering at St. Thomas or not. Seeing as how we've already had conflicting information regarding that 1. but the itinerary will have planned Ports of Call with the ashore and re-boarding times for each.

Welcome aboard. I am your not so humble thread hostess
This is my 2nd cruise and 2nd Eastern so I know a few things TIGGER/POOH4 knows almost everything. He has Gold status for the Castaway club.

Just fire away with anything you want to know. You're gonna have a GREAT time on this trip. DCL really knows how to

IN the first post you'll find all our handy dandy information for the goings on we've decided thus far. List of fellow cruisers and a fun little game for posting on the thread and hopefully winning prizes. We also have an exchange going on board called the Fish Extender Exchange. I am running it for our cruise(Probably because I am just completely nuts) But there are links defining that in the first post too.

If you want to add any info such as names, stateroom number etc after looking over our spreadsheet, just let me know and I'll be happy to add it for you

WELCOME TO THE DIS

ABOARD!!! We're first time Disney cruisers too! And like you in 2005 we went on a much Bigger ship and it was more of a 'dud'...been there done that! This thread has had a ton of wisdom from our fellow cruisers, so if you get time...reading through it really helps too! We're all gonna have tons of fun!

Wow sounds just like my story. Read over this twice before realizing it is our story and our DD posting the message. This will be our fifth Disney Cruise and we are totally addicted. This will be very exciting to introduce our grandson to the wonderful world of cruising with Disney. Never too young to start them out!

We are gearing up to join the FE list for the first time. We will do so before the dead line. It looks like it will be lots of fun. Between DD and myself we have plenty of ideas for fun gifts and I've even started some craft and jewelery items that we will be sharing. Can't wait!
