May 9, 2012: 5 Night Bahamas Cruise on Disney Magic

[iloverags2]

For those of you that have already been able to book and or check in online. Palo is offered on Key West day and day at Sea for brunch right? Or have they replaced one with high tea. I heard that they might since Mother's Day falls on this cruise. Also can you book just one Palo reservation or one for both Palo dinner and Palo brunch provided they still have slots open?

Also what time slots where still available for Port Arrival times?

Yes, brunch is offered both on the Key West and at-sea days. Currently there are slots for 10, 10:30, and 11 on Key West morning. The at-sea day has 10:30, 11, and 11:30 slots available. Tea is on the at-sea day only, and is already sold-out. You can book both brunch and dinner if slots are available, and even do so on the same day (which we did, although we may not keep the brunch reservation...still on the fence about that one).

When I did our online check-in at 90 days out, pretty much every time was available for port arrival. Not sure if that has changed since my check-in is complete, but I really do think our sailing is not very full still. Chances are you will have the opportunity to choose an excellent time slot!

This makes me happy! I wasn't even considering brunch, but now I think maybe we can do both days (one for us and one for my folks) and then we can still have all our dinners together. Thanks for posting this Cindy!

Does anyone know what nights the Main Disney Shows are?

Does anyone know what nights the Main Disney Shows are?

From the spreadsheet Cindy sent me:

Night 1 - Villains Tonight
Night 3 - Disney Dreams
Night 4 - Pirates in the Caribbean
Night 5 - Believe!

Night 5 - Believe!

I'm guessing this is going to be switched up a bit. In the past year, they have changed the five night sailings with a stage show on Night 2 instead of Night 1. The only reason I can see they wouldn't have a show on Night 2 is due to Key West being a "late" port (meaning we don't shove off until after the shows begin). It's one of those, "we'll see what April cruisers report!"

Tonight's the night!!!
I've got all my little scraps of information from this thread, and I'm ready to make my choices. I'm still undecided on Palo I may just pick a night and go with it. I'm not stressing over any of my choices, and I'm sticking with that! Right?? We've run ourselves ragged for the past 20 years at WDW (loving every minute of it), but this is a chance to relax with Disney.
Just for fun I got the CD from DCL, and Cole is going crazy watching it over and over. Cute!

Let's hear it for us Newbies who FINALLY get to make our choices tonight!!! YIPEE

Welcome Patti!

Also, how are you guys posting your pictures in here? I've tried and can't get it to work.

Photo Bucket can be used to upload pictures. http://photobucket.com/ I have not gotten around to finding a pic with me and hubby in it. I am usually the one behind the camera. I too have the CD and have been watching it. Yeah I am anxiously waiting tonight to

To post pics you have to upload them to an online photo host such as Photobucket or Flickr. Then you look for the link code for the pic you want that starts with IMG. Copy that code and paste it into your post. When you submit the post your pic will appear.

I made a photo bucket account, and I did get it to work once but the picture was huge!!! I didn't want to scare you guys. LOL so I looked to see if I could make the image smaller on photo bucket. When I couldn't figure it out I tried to upload the pic again and I couldn't get it to work again. Any ideas on the size? Maybe I need to save the image as a smaller JPEG on my computer and upload that pic instead of the full size image.

Once you load the picture to photobucket, open up that picture alone (not the entire album), then hover over it near the top. There will be a menu bar; click on resize. I typically resize photos I want to post here to 640x480 (or something like that). Once you do that, then copy the IMG code and paste it here.

My picture is down below in my sig, but I will repost it in a thread if you all would like...

Cindy, your expression in your pic is totally blissfully happy. Love that. Golly, I'm ready to cruise! Well...okay...as soon as I get the 15 lbs off my hiney...

 

[wildforgoofy]

Thanks Cindy! So I'll resize it in Photo Bucket before I paste.
BTW Great Photo!

Me to. I am trying to lose 12lbs. Just curious everyone thinks I am weird but I try to lose a little extra before a Disney trip so I can eat all the delicious food Disney has too offer. I tried to do this the last 5 years when we went to WDW.

Oh, totally! Because I was heading back over to the Magic after a blissful day in Grand Cayman!

Thanks Cindy! So I'll resize it in Photo Bucket before I paste.

Thanks! And you're welcome! Yeah, the first time I posted then went back to resize the photo after posting, I was like, "What the heck!" Figured it out though that I had to recopy the IMG code after resizing.

Not weird at all! I always do that! In fact I need to lose 10 or 20 before the next cruise. Thankfully I do not do elevators and all the hiking up and down stairs on the ship does wonders!

I found the greatest app for my iPhone that I've been using for the last 45 days and I've lost 9 pounds. The app is called MyFitnesspal and it FREE! You put in your stats and it gives you a calorie count depending on how many pounds you want to loose and how active you are. The best part is there's a bar code scanner in the app, and you just scan everything you eat or drink and it puts the calories on you daily intake. When you eat out just search the restaurant on the app and 90% of the time they'll have what you ate and you just add it. We'll see how much I can lose before the cruise but so far so good. Like I said at the beginning I plan on eating my way through this cruise, so I need to make room.

Hi everyone! Just booked this cruise for myself and my DD21 for her college graduation present. This will be my 10th DCL cruise....I'll be platinum after this one! Looking forward to the mother/daughter trip.

I want to loose 20! Really 15lbs but at least an extra 5lbs so I can eat like a pig! *MAYBE* I will actually use the gym on one of these ships!
