March 18, 2006 -7 Day Magic Cruise - Is anyone else booked yet?

[Daytonamom]

Hi Lisa
You need your passport and a photo ID and your son will need a passport or a birth certificate with a raised seal. I don't think that he will need a photo ID but if he has one bring it.

I don't think the gates open until 10 at the port. I asked this on the main board and that is the information I got.

Someone that has cruised more can probably confirm this. Looks like a few of us early birds will be there.

Krystalgali-Sorry I misread an earlier post. I had your relatives old info, but I will fix it below.

MSCheng-You only need one EITHER the birthcertificate or passport. However, if I am wrong someone correct me. But I do not believe the terminal building opens until 10am. I will verify this info with a friend who knows for sure.

No here is the list updating again. I am updating it often because I know people are leaving for the Orlando area soon. Plus I am watching kids take a test right now and have nothing better to do.

It looks like Deck 6 and Late seating win for biggest population

From what I remember the terminal opens at 10:00 and boarding usually begins at 12:30, sometimes sooner sometimes later.

Only three full more days and we are in Orlando! Staying at the Airport Hyatt for first night then onto the ship Sat. am. Kathy

 

[cruisecrzy]

I called my friend who does transportation for Disney. Told me that the terminal officially opens at 10am and boarding begins at 1pm. Boarding usually begins earlier because the ship is usually cleared earlier. Does not believe the terminal opens earlier than the official time.

Hope that helps those planning on arriving early.

 

[habibi]

cruisecrzy - we have the late seating as well (we being General Max's family and me).

Daytonamom and family are in cabin 2650 down on deck 2.

I am just updating again. I think we have almost everyone except Ncardella. I just went back and doublechecked my list and we are also missing Cinderlexa'smom(I think they may already be enjoying a Florida vacation), Eeyore1928, Jedimindtric. Other than that we are complete. With the majority eating late.

Cruisecryz, are you using my list? I know I had to remove a couple of people and can't remember who now but maybe they are the ones with missing info?

What a day I have been having. Picked up daughter from school and she just didn't look like she felt good. I checked her throat and I saw the pesky white spots and smelled the stinky breath. I called the doctor and they had me bring in her in immediately. I guessed correct, STREP THROAT!!! NOOOOOO. Well, one nasty shot of penicillin in her rear, no school for tomorrow and she will be good to go by Thursday. Thank you Dr. Schoon. Vacation saved. He could have perscribed refrigerated meds but I didn't want to deal with Disney and explaining "no, she isn't contagious." and he agreed.

I just need to get through two more days! I did get the clothing orders today and I have the cleaned suits in hand. Not all is falling apart, thank goodness. I did call Shirley and ordered gift totes for daughter and husband (ok, for me too lol). I did have to move daughters haircut to Thursday. At least they could move it for me.

Did I say two days left? I am ready. I need this vacation.

Kathy,
I am using the last list you sent. So maybe that is the probelm.

I am glad your daughter is doing better. I know the feeling. I was at the Dr. yesterday just to verify my daughter was healthy. She had roseola the week before. When I told him why I wanted her checked out and stamped on the forehead with "germ free and healthy." he said it would make a great postcard. Loving my cruise...I have only seen the inside of my stateroom. Nothing like a Dr. with a sense of humor.

I hope everyone remains healthy.

Kathy, the weather is great here and ready for you to start your vacation. Just think 80's and maybe that will take away some of the stress.

 

[GeneralMax]

STREP ALERT!!

Okay so DS comes home sick last Thursday. We take him to the doctor and he has strep. DD is sick Monday and it is ...you guessed it strep. Today i have a little bit of a sore throat and think what the heck I'd better get it checked. Guess what strep! The doctor just gave me drugs for my husband too. Well at least we all got it and will be treated BEFORE we leave. It would have been miserable if it turned up on the boat.

Kathy - interesting fact for you - none of us even had very red throats so we almost missed it in my son. Good thing the doctor did a routine test to rule it out because it was going around.

Now I get to pack and be sick at the same time. I'm going to bed...

Good morning! Stephanie sleeped in today so I got a bit more sleep also. I feel more relaxed. Temps today in low 50's, not bad for IA and the sun is out.

Clothes came, tried on and the packages are already boxed up to send back what didn't fit. I am so tired of the lack in consistency in sizes and this is with LLBean. They are usually great but the last three orders have been bad. I learned to order several items in two different sizes. I have two different sizes of the same style of pant in my closet from Bean and they fit exactly the same! Daughters Lands' End flip flops arrived, cute and they fit. Bright colored and sporty thongs.

Today I start packing. Husband noticed I hadn't done much which isn't normal. I have but it is just in stored in our bedroom as it has been in past years.

The last list I made, probably three pages backword form this page has the most current cruise list. Hope that helps.

Kathy

 

[jedimindtric]

Haven't checked in for a while. We had family in from Ohio -- so were busy showing them around. We have early seating and a Category 5 -- #7138. I have not packed anything yet -- so I am behind. Hope to get started today.

 

[Bama4Disney]

Hey all:

We are in the second seating 8:30. Palo's on Monday night and we are located on deck 2 midship on the right side. Don't know if the is port or starboard. We are right next to the new teen area on 2. Look for our door sign. Melody made it yesterday. It is the school teacher in her.

See you all soon

>Well I guess everybody is leaving for sunny florida. I am still running around washing clothes and trying to pack. The kids seem to pull it out faster than I can put it in. I hope everyone is staying well and look forward to seeing everybody.

[jphart]

Jphart-
Wow that is an early morning trip. I can pretty much guarantee no snow here.

Daytonamom-
You are not alone. I will being doing a final load tomorrow. My friend who is also on our cruise is also running around like a crazy woman getting together all the last minute stuff. I still need to make the belts for the adult pirate costumes. I almost forgot about the belts. At least we are mostly packed. Goodluck to all those still running around all crazy like.

jphart-
If you are still reading these. I am taking your second sign to be copied and laminated tomorrow. I will get them to your stateroom on Saturday.

 

[krystagali]

Alright - today is my last day at home.

Whoever was proctoring tests...don't you just love the GEPA??? BIL is taking it this week as well.

Laundry - it never ends.... I'm officially in panic mode and denial all at once. I just checked UPS and my packages are scheduled to arrive at IDS at port TODAY!!! WOoHoo! As expected, we cannot check in online - my husband has a very common name and we always get special attention going through security.

Gotta run. time to eat, have coffee, and finish up packing, door signs, t-shirts, run errands........oh yeah, and pack for myself, LOL.

To everyone travelling today - safe travels! See you on the boat!
Beth

 

[Bama4Disney]

All:

We are all packed. I just hope we can get it all in the car. We will look like the the Clampetts arriving at the terminal!

See you all on Deck 10 for the Sail Away Party!

Whoo hoo!
