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

[tecdavidt]

Welcome back all, Ruth maybe only you can change the name or one of the Mod's?

Laundry is done, time 8:25 Monday night. Yeah! I have to agree with Daytonamom, Mt. Everest is a great name for the laundry pile. I didn't think I would ever get through it all.

Lesson learned, 15 months between cruises is too long. I forgot the DIS rule of pack then remove half. I have been on a total of 17 cruises since 1998 and you would think I would be the last one to over pack. Nope, it is such a drag to have to spend time the last night of the cruise packing items that never were worn! I did make notes for the next time we go on what not to pack.

While I ironed what items needed ironed today I listened to my iPod that has my cruise party sound mix. I miss the ship and probably more this time because we don't have another Magic cruise booked . To top that off, daughter Stephanie told me this afternoon that this was her best cruise ever. Next Spring Break will be tought staying home.

Ok, so I cheated with laundry. On Sunday I took my daughter to the Magic Kingdom while my husband did the laundry. We packed smarter this time and used pretty much everything we brought. It made it so much easier this time.

We enjoyed running into everyone on the ship...it made the trip a little more fun. We are looking forward to hopefully cruising again in November...though we are not sure if the ship can handle a crazy little girl running around deck three until midnight again. She made so many wonderful CM "friends" again.....and they all were great chasing her around. They said it made the time pass faster for them and it gave the exhausted mom and dad a break.

The temperatures started climbing here again so hopefully everyone else is warming up as well.

GenMax if no one else knows how to change the name of the thread I will ask one of my computer kids tomorrow. If it can be done they will figure it out.

Bamma4Disney I am going shopping Wednesday so I will look for the ESPN stuff....maybe I will get lucky.

Hi Everyone,

We had a great time on the cruise!!!!!!!!!!!!! We walked with sea legs for 3 days after we got off the boat.

We hit the parks for two days and would not do that again. We were so relaxed after the cruise, that to deal with the big crowds was exhausting.

We arrived home Tuesday at 2:00A.M. We slept for a long time!

Having a few days to relax and reflect, we think all of you made this trip truly "MAGICal." It was so nice meeting all of you on the cruise. You really made this cruise fun. We are looking forward to another cruise, but feel we are now spoiled and the next one won't be as much fun.

We are glad to know everyone got home safely. Let us know if you change the sight name.

TTFN,
Jennifer

Jennifer - DH had sea legs for a few days also. I did surprisingly well. I think I didn't feel it because I was so concerned with getting ds, dd and BIL all home safe. As for being spoiled and dissappointed with another cruise you are right and wrong. You get so spoiled on Disney ships but aftr 4 cruises on Disney, I can report, they have all been just as much fun and magical.

I wish I had gotten to meet more of you on the cruise, but with the little ones, it made it so difficult. I did get to meet MsCheng and her ds as well as a lurker who forgot her dress shoes - you know who you are

Don't know if any of you got a glimps of the bride or the wedding itself, but it was wonderful. Very beautiful location, the ceremony was short but sweet, and my SIL and new BIL had a wonderful time.

We had some trouble with our boxes - don't remember if the post made it to this thread or not. But, we have a fairygodmother on the Disney Magic. Mariska, from South Africa, found our boxes after a frantic 24 hours without my supply of diapers, stockings, hairspray, etc... After finding them, she kept sending little gifts to our room. Really added a little extra touch of magic.

I was dissapointed to find out that some of the tips I learned here were not true...especially the one about the red anchors pointing aft. on some floors they did, on some others, they didn't. DH had a good laugh at me over that one. We did not get any pictures or projects from the nursery.

But, we did get our photo mats signed, so that was great.

I'm hoping that DCL gets in touch with me for a follow up (I somehow always get picked for those) because I have a few good and not so good things to report to them. But, no time to get into it now.

It's good to be home, but boy do I miss the carefree days.

Beth,

We did see your sister and new BIL going back to the ship on the golf cart. We wished them congratulations.

Have you planned another cruise on a different cruise line?

Jen - that's so cool that you saw them. We have not booked another cruise on Disney or any other line. I have a feeling that we will be doing a cruise out of NY this summer with my whole family for my dad's 60th.

For now, I'm going through cruise withdrawl. I'm missing the days without work and without having to worry about any time constraints other than when to get to dinner.

Working on getting the kiddies back on a schedule. Going slowly.....

Oh Gosh, I forgot to mention that I also got to meet PhilInAK and his family also... Hope you had a safe trip home.

well, it's late. g'night!

Hi all,
We did make it back and finally got out from underneath the laundry just as it was time to start the next week's ...and here we are again. I've been meaning to get on here but had to jump in to both work and a temporary job for the University every night and all day on the weekends, so haven't had time to get more than a few hours sleep a night, let alone go online. I haven't even had time to upload our pictures yet to look at them and I am really looking forward to that. I promise to get copies out to those of you in them just as soon as I'm done with with my night job.

We also had a blast and having had the oppportunity to meet all of you made it even more enjoyable. Thanks so much for the mail, Lynn! That was great!!!
