November 10, 2007 - MAGIC - Eastern

[aidanht]

We were on the 11-11-06 DD cruise and will be back for the 11-10-07 Eastern. We can't wait!!!!!

We have a DD 12 (now) who would love to email with any other kids around her age who will be on the cruise. We also have DSs who are 8 and 9 (now).

Count us in! Mysel37f , DW37 , and DD 4 ...our 6th Dis Cruise, Gracie's 2nd!
We rebooked on our Oct Double Dip...which seems to be the routine we are developing! We are in a Cat 5 somehwhere on deck 5 I think.....

Looking forward to it...we actually have begun creating a library on itunes of favorite songs from our cruise....my daughter loves hearing the songs, especially the Hey Baby song that she danced with Minnie to on CC!

Welcome aboard jjgarv!

Glad to have you with us, jjgarv. Another DD cruiser!

Anyone starting to think about excursions and stuff? With the stinky weather lately, I've been dreaming of those Caribbean Islands! LOL

I already have a long wish list of spa treatments for the cruise. (Darn disneycruise.com makes it too easy to make that "wishlist!" )

 

[Lauri]

Chronic planner here. I'm thinking about excursions, but don't know what I'll be doing yet. (If I approach it with my family yet, they'll have me committed .) We've done two modified Westerns, so I'm not really familiar with the Eastern ports.

I started looking into the excursions as well! I keep sending emails to the rest of the family with links for some non-DCL ones. They are sending me back some not so nice responses about being too early! Glad to know it's not just me!

So what are you looking at now? I'm leaning towards 2 different ones for our whole group. Since we all are generally not sit around on the beach-types, I love the pirate ship/snorkelling/small hike things.

We live 5 minutes from the beach and DSis's in-laws own a house in Rehobeth Beach they go to all summer, so we're really not into going to beaches the whole vacation....although the beaches of Long Island/Delaware are quite different from the Carribean! So we save our "beach day" for CC.

 

[Lauri]

We're in the same boat (and on the same boat ). We love Castaway Cay, and that will be our beach day. On cruise critic, I saw a zip line excursion that looked great on St. Martin, but it looks like it must be booked through the cruise line, and Disney doen't offer it. We may do the under two flags tour there. I just got a whole stack of books out of the library; plan to do some reading this weekend.

Where on the island are you? I'm a displaced south shore girl myself.

Lauri

 

[Stimpy]

Where from? We're in Blue Point now and like it. (Except when the dern tax bills come! )

Did you try http://shoretrips.com/ for the zip line? My DD is still too young for that so I didn't look too closely but I thought I saw some mention of it there.

Books sound like a really good diversion now And since our library is so tiny and I can never find what I need....I'm off to order the latest Passporter from Amazon! (The 1 I have is 3-4 yrs old but I'm sure there has to be something new to make it worth the money )

 

[jjgarv]

need to bump us up! Found out our facts...we will be in 6634, one of the Secret Veranda rooms! Two for Two on hitting these!

 

[Stimpy]

Congrats! Did you request them when you booked or did you just luck out and get one assigned?

 

[jjgarv]

Actually we requested it when we rebooked on our last cruise....it will be the second time we have been able to do so....we were in 6134 for our Western 2 years ago....what a bargain!

 

[niccic]

jjgarv - congrats.

Ok i'm still confused about the dining rotation. I have second seating what will my rotation be? what night will be pirate night? formal? semi-formal night? We never did Palo on our first cruise but since my in -laws are coming and they love that kind of thing i want to book it. Any help would be good.

 

[woody73]

You will get your dining rotation when you check in. I recall that formal night is on the first day at sea, and semi-formal night is Thursday (the day at sea before Castaway Cay).
