Magic: November 1, 2013 5 night Western

[MrsMork]

Is there an update to the FE list yet?

looks like we are 12 cabins at this point. I don't have a count of kids/adults yet. We will give it one more week, then next weekend I will put out a last call and get the numbers sorted.

That's actually referring to the planet, not the character. I can see the confusion here. I'll probably change that.

Well, I always think Disney before science.

 

[MrsMork]

No documents here yet, but they still use Pony Express to get stuff to Montana, so......

Hi everyone! Been lurking for a couple of weeks now and decided to come out of the shadows as I have a bad case of cruise insomnia tonight. It's me, DH and DS (11). This is our 7th Disney cruise and just by coincidence we'll be at Grand Caymen on my birthday.

We are traveling with another couple and their girls, 7 and 10.
I've never done FE exchange but thinking it might be a good time to jump in as this looks like a small group. Oh, and did I mention we are flying SWA, so we could bring SIX suitcases? yeah, no excuses!

Wondering, what are everyone's plans for the islands? Has anyone booked excursions yet? And if so, what appealed to you? We've done both the turtle farm and stingray city in Grand Caymen. Wondering what's next.

Welcome!! Everyone (except me!) seems to be celebrating on this cruise - that is awesome.

Last time in GC we did the turtles. I think this time we are just going to beach it. Im sure we will soon decide on one of the clubs on Seven Mile beach unless anyone has a better suggestion.

I am up in the air about Coz - between Chankanaab, Xcaret, Xel-Ha - or just beaching it there as well ....

We're doing the Kittiwake Sail and Snorkel on Grand Cayman. We had this excursion booked on our last cruise to the western Caribbean (11/2012) but because of rough seas and the need to tender at GC, we skipped Grand Cayman and went to Costa Maya. We hope this time we get to do Grand Cayman. We've heard great things about the reefs there so we really hope we get to experience it this time. We're also doing the Fury Sail and Snorkel on Cozumel which we did last time and loved it!!!

Do you hang out at any beach club in particular - we still haven't decided :/

Hello! Does anyone know what nights semi-formal and Pirate Nights will be? I have guesses, but nothing concrete. We've never done a 5 night sailing before.

Thanks,
Kelly

Not sure off the top of my head about semi-formal but Pirate night is Cozumel I believe.

Alright Mateys!

Today we are 90 days out from our cruise. Those that have sailed before and are Castaway Club Silver now's the time to book your excursions, special dining, ,spa goodies and the all important Port Arrival time. That is unless you're Gold level or higher and have already booked, or are a maniac like me and stay up 'till midnight to jump and then sleep in. (right, like the boys will let that happen! )

Just a friendly reminder. Check in when you can. I'll be back tomorrow to report.

Hello!

Ok thank you! That's what I was thinking as well. I am thinking Semi will be the first sea day.

BTW - I am Kelly travelling with my husband and daughter, age 2. We live in FL and grabbed a FL resident rate! My husband is very excited to go on the "new" Magic since it's been several years since we've sailed her and she ties with the Fantasy as our favorite ship in the fleet.

Can't wait!

 

[Bobaloo]

Do adults dress up too for pirate night?

 

[Bobaloo]

This is our families first Disney cruise!! So excited!

 

[Bobaloo]

We also grabbed the Florida resident rate. It is a great deal,

 

[Bobaloo]

I'm curious about the FE? Any info?

 

[Bobaloo]

What happened to Pluto?

 

[Bobaloo]

Is there a 70's dance night?
