May 2, 2009~~~Magical MAYniacs!~~~ 7 day Western....Updated, April 3,2009!!

[Laurafoster]

Woo Hoo only 6 more weeks to go!! (We are staying at the airport Thursday night and flying over on the Friday morning so the holiday starts for me when i finish work!)

Still got so much to do - ive just found out that they no longer have the pirate bandana's on the Magic so im trying to find somewhere in the UK that sells them at a reasonable price!

Im also having problems with my door magnets. Ive got all my designs sorted but my printer seems to be having problems with the colours?! Will have to try my mums printer.

Apart from that im busy making a list of "must do's" for my family - especially as its going to be my grandparents last ever trip to Florida!

Hi and welcome Candis and DH

Welcome to our friendly little forum. With only 44 days to go, you can really start feeling the excitement and anticipation that is growing within our little family. Reality is setting in that WE ARE GOING ON A DISNEY CRUISE!

I noticed that you are from J-ville. There are 2 other families from Jax, and I am originally from there as well. We could all start a football team and call ourselves the Jaguars. Wait - that is already taken.

So once again, welcome and it's great that you could join us as we count down these last few exciting weeks.

Ok, who else besides Myth-USA & Bahama Mama are from Jacksonville? I thought I saw that somewhere; maybe I was dreaming. LOL.

Did I tell everyone that the Bat Mitzvah is officially OVER?! Hurrah!!!!!

MAZEL TOV!!

 

[zerog]

We have just over 6 weeks till the cruise. Here's the challenge:

*** Get to page 100 of this forum before May 1. ***

As it is said "Let's get this party started!"

Can we do it!?

 

[AdventureLover67]

100 pages sounds like a fun challenge! I'm sure everyone's excitement is really starting to peak!
I was just looking through some of the older posts and Zerog's updated roster and it looks like the Magical Mayniacs are a group ready to celebrate lots of events! Lots of anniversary's, birthday's, a bat mitzvah and even a wedding...WOOHOO This trip is bound to be a blast....what's the countdown gang?!?

 

[zerog]

The Magical Mayniacs rock.

Just for kicks, I lurked on the April 25 Eastern Cruise and they are on page 39. Well, the May 9 Eastern is on page 74 so they are giving us a little more competition.

Go Mayniacs Go

-------------------------------------------------------

Oh and BTW, the May 9th Eastern Cruisers call themselves:
"MAGICal MAYflowers"

Zerog, thanks for adding us to your list! My DH's name is Todd and we will be in room 2512. I'm glad to hear there will be some locals on the ship

 

[cdfl30]

Book it..... there will openings when you get on-board.

P.S. Love your city.....

Hi Myth-Usa!! I did finally book this cruise I'm just reading back a few weeks on this board and came across this post. We live in the Mandarin area. My DH grew up in OP and his family still lives there so we are over that way often.

I am crossing my fingers about getting into Palo. We have had dinner there twice but because we have only been on 3-night cruises, we haven't had the opportunity to do brunch. I hope we get lucky and can get a reservation on board!

Candis

 

[cdfl30]

OK... three posts in a row, I guess i have to make up for lost time I noticed a few pages back you were talking about what to do in Key West. We also want to explore the city without being tied to a tour or an excursion. Does anyone know if bycicle rentals are available near the port?

Our only excursion we have booked as of now is Xcaret Eco Park. I have heard its a great place. I have heard that I will need to start shopping for biodegradable sunscreen because they won't let you in with a non-biodegradable kind. If anyone has any recommendations on a good brand, please let me know!

 

[zerog]

woohoo.. I figured it out.

If you look at my new and improved signature, you will notice that I added a little something.

LOL!!!! I don't think so....

We are counting on booking Palo for brunch when we board too, so let's keep our figers crossed!!!

Ok.......so how did you do it?????

 

[AdventureLover67]

We're also hoping to get into Palo's. It looks like it would be a very nice time.
Cdfl-The park you mentioned, is that one booked through Disney?

 

[zerog]

Ok.......so how did you do it??

Hey Laura
I saw this on somebody else's post, but it took me a little while to figure out the right code. I admit, I tried several different things and I was about to give up.

If someone else wants this, I guess it wouldn't hurt. But then, how many Cape Canaveral weather forecasts do we need? LOL

The first thing I did was figure out the source of the weather sticker - which turned out to be wunderground.com. There is a link on the bottom of their homepage under custom weather services called "weather stickers." There are several options. The site provides the code for someone to post on a website, but not a bulletin board like this one - so I had to tweak the code slightly.

Long story short, here is the code (remove the 4 *'s - without them, the weather sticker would post again):

Very cool!

I just wanted to be able to use it at some point down the road. I just clicked on it now and was taken to the page.
