March 15, 2015 MAGIC Cruise!! :)

[queen95]

I saw some people posting about trolley tour. I didn't read the whole thread so I apologize if it is a repeat. We booked CityView trolley on-line it was cheaper than Old Towne (it has a few less stops).

Thanks! I feel rather out of the loop on this cruise; first one I haven't been responsible for planning something for the groups but very excited to be onboard!!

Ops, there is a FB group and a meet up? I'm missing those things, can someone give me the link to the FB group? Thanks much!

 

[lucianam]

I don't run. Is it acceptable to walk the 5K? Or is it more of a competitive/running only 5K?

I'm planning to walk the 5k as well. I don't run either, but I've walked a half marathon in the past. If they let us walk this one, I'm in!

Our DIS board meet and greet is at 3pm in the promenade lounge on sailaway day Sunday! Hope you can come join us!!!

My little Tessa seems to be feeling and doing better already so thanks for the good thoughts! When does everyone head out? We leave the house at 6am Sat morning to make the drive to the airport. IT still doesnt quite feel real to me!!

 

[Madzac]

Queen95 we are doing the city view trolley as well! And welcome! Better late than never!!!

 

[3Goofy's]

Yes, welcome to the newcomers! I'm looking forward to meeting many of you at the meet and greet in just a few days! Can't wait!

Madzac, so glad to hear your dd is feeling better. That is a worry you just don't need at this late date!

We leave Friday after work, and fly out Sat am. We are spending the day at Aquatica.
Safe travels to everyone! Some have left already, lucky ducks!

 

[kmcford]

I'm getting giddy! I can't believe how soon it is!

We leave Saturday morning!

We leave Thursday night to drive to Dallas to catch our 6am flight on Friday! I am still not packed and have lots to do tomorrow! Since we are driving to Dallas, we can leave as late as we want but I need to get it together! I have most things laid out but not put together. I can't believe the time has come already! So excited to get on the ship!
First thing to do once on board will be signing up for Mixology and the 5K. I think my husband, DD and I will all be doing it. My DS will sit this one out. I will probably walk most of it. Also, my daughter has decided she wants to see the princesses this year so I guess I need to get Anna and Elsa tickets. Are they the only princesses I need to do that for? We have never really been into the character meet and greets on board. So many other things to do. We have Palo booked for dinner on Pirate night and I think we will skip brunch this time so I don't need to worry about those reservations. Then we will go EAT!
I am hoping to make the meet and greet but things get so crazy on the first day. Safe travels everyone! I may not have time to post much after this!

 

[Msidescooter]

We're getting super excited! One more day at work and then we're driving down Friday afternoon!!! It's going to be a long drive, but completely worth it!

The first orders of business is to check on Palo brunch reservations and mixology tickets

Which MDR has the lunch buffet for Sunday?

 

[NoodlesMom]

We leave this afternoon. We're checking into AOA tomorrow. I'm so excited!!

 

[lltthatsme]

I am getting over a cold, really hoping I don't have to cancel - I am starting to feel better so I think there is hope I am hoping to pack today - I have never left it so long before. We are dropping our dogs off at the sitter's tomorrow night and leaving Saturday morning. We don't get into Orlando until midnight (3 flights) so it will be a super long Saturday.

We too are arriving at midnight into MCO if you are staying at the hotel remember to call ahead for late arrival It is going to be a long, long Saturday travelling but sooooo worth it for us

 

[lltthatsme]

Yep I phoned ahead. The last leg of our trip is Chicago to Orlando. You? Are you taking the Disney transfers the next morning?

We're also on a flight out of DFW at 6am on Friday. American?

Huge thank you's to @Msidescooter, @3Goofy's, and @chamberlain for the feedback on what to wear to brunch at Palo. I think the DW is going with nice capri's, but that was probably 2 re-packings ago.

It's getting sooooo close - too hard to focus on anything work related. I'm ready to get on the plane and make it official!

No, we are flying Southwest out of Dallas Love. We got nonstop there and back and with some major stalking I got the fare way down! I didn't want to worry about the amount of luggage. So, since I am still packing, I will probably way over pack since I am in a time crunch now. What time do you get to Orlando? Are you taking Magical Express?

We land at 9:22 and yes, we've signed up for Magical Express. It's easy enough to get back and forth between the hotel and the airport (we're not staying at a Disney resort). I'd rather let Disney handle getting us to the port.

 

[Dcheftimmins]

You can find us tomorrow Toronto then New York overnight. Saturday we'll be staying at Mco overnight. Private travel to the ship our boarding time is 1.

 

[3Goofy's]

My goodness! I almost forgot to book my Rainforest passes! My favourite thing to do on the ship! Got that fixed. The lady I booked with, signed the card from a "surprise person" - I think Mickey or Minnie will be sending me to the spa!

 

[Bearybear]

I think we overpacked! But we'll be on vacation for 10 days, and I'm NOT doing laundry on vacation! We fly out tomorrow morning at 7:00!

 

[Dizneefan001]

We will drive be down Sunday morning. We live just north of St Augustine so it's only a couple hours drive for us. Still not packed, but taking half day at work tomorrow, so it will be done and have a restful day on Saturday. My kids have it down to three sleeps and a wake up! Even though we just booked 3 weeks ago, it seems like it took forever to get here. I couldn't imagine waiting as long as some of you had to wait!
