November 12, 2011 - Magical Double Dip!

[LindaBabe]

Ok. Here I am at 501!

 

[scottjm]

Man, looking at these excursions, I'm seriously considering not getting off the boat for a couple of stops. We loved CC, but I'm kinda sad to be missing Key West, they had some great food places,

Food may be the only thing that will drag us off the boat in the Caymans or MX, most of the excursions aren't geared towards groups with younger kids,

I TOTALLY agree! We will be greatly missing the Chocolate covered frozen key lime pie on a stick! But, if you have to take away Key West, to CCs are nice to have.

 

[disneydreamer82]

My kids have theirs, but DW and I need new ones for this cruise!!



As stated by others, better safe then sorry!!! You know, it's one of those things that if you don't have it you'll need it, and if you have it you won't need it!! I'd rather have it and not need it!!



I'd take the cold weather next week if our cruise was tomorrow!!!



NOW... NOW... NOW!!!!



As stated above!!!

WOW!!! Look at that... I got the 500th post in this thread!! Who will get the 1000th?? Think we'll get that far?? LET'S TRY!!!!

I agree about taking the weather in exchange for the cruise!
And I cannot BELIEVE you stole my 500th post! JK We will soooooooo totally make it to 1000!!!!!!!!!!

Ok. Here I am at 501!

Gift Exchange Info

Meet & Greet in the Promenade Lounge Deck 3 at 3:00pm on Embarkation Day!!!!
We will meet in the Promenade Lounge at 3:00pm before the muster drill and sail-away to get to know one another briefly, put names to faces, and for those of you who would like to participate, we will also have a gift exchange!

Here's how it works:
Each family will bring a small gift to represent the area they are from, aka their hometown/state For example you could bring something from a local store like maybe a trinket from an artist in your hometown or if you are into sports bring something to represent your favorite home team. Last cruise on DCL, the gift I received was from a very sweet lady from Texas, she brought some local spices & coffee, along with a little Texas BBQ cookbook. It was really cool! It's just a simple gift nothing extravagant, that is unless you wanna give me a free cruise

No seriously just something light and fun.

At the meet & greet, I will have name-tags to hand out where we will put our DIS name along with our real name, so that we can identify one another easily Then for each person or family who has brought a gift, when you come in find me, I will be handing out some lei's & up at the bar looking like I am in charge : Also I'll be wearing a name-tag At that point I'll write down your name & put it into a bowl/hat for the drawing part. I will also jot your name down on a list of who is actually participating in the exchange. That way everyone who brings a gift will receive one in return You hang onto your gift and have a seat, get to know some other people, have a drink, just relax

Around 3:30pm, which should give everyone enough time to mosey on down, we will begin the exchange I will call a name from the list and that person will come up pull a name from the drawing pool and exchange gifts with the person whose name they have drawn.

Very simple lots of fun and it ensures that each person who brings shall receive And no one is pressured into bringing something, it's completely up to each family, but please do come and hang out with us either way!!!

Can't wait! It's gonna be sooooo much fun!!

Hi All!

I am getting our cruise girls together this weekend for another one of our get togethers and it's getting close now so it's so exciting

A little background about our crew, we all ourselves "The Disney Chix" and this is my fourth cruise, the third with the Chix. This time it is six of us ladies some leaving the spouses for the week to hang with the Chix and have FUN We have two new recruits this year so we are going to initiate them so to speak this weekend They have heard about the Chix but now they will be experiencing them! Each of us is assigned a character which I tried to associate with their personality a bit

Mary Jo Grumpy
Gayle Mickey
Lynne Minnie
Roz Happy
Kim Eeyore *Newbie*
Cindy Stitch *Newbie*

Those past Chix unable to attend this year:
Judy Goofy
Pam Tink
Paula Tigger
So sorry girls....we will have a cold one to toast you!

So, our gathering this weekend is to get the newbies excited and initiated. I have both FE's made and hanging with gifts for each of them. I got them each mini cruise ships ornaments from a catalog and drew hidden Mickey's and the date on them. And then I found mini fans at Walmart yesterday so I put them in the packages. We are having a mini FE this weekend! Practice!! I also made them each a booklet, coded of course with their own character, with sample Navagators of what to expect on each day and packing lists and oh it's going to be so fun and overwhelming for the newbies while the rest of us sit w/our umbrella drinks! Going to make Rootbeer floats with umbrellas too! And we will feel right at home as it's going to be almost 90 every day this week and I don't have a/c at my house. We will be on the porch!

They already have their shirts for the cruise that the DISsigners helped me make....special shout out to Jordak and Millie and all others who helped!

So, if you find yourselves in the Buffalo NY area Saturday night, stop by and have a cold one with The Chix!

Mary Jo

Hello everyone.,

Just popped in to say Hi and introduce myself . My name is Linda and I (we) will be sailing with you guys. My DH and I have changed our Disney vacation plans three times for this year because there is so much to love and we would like to do it all but can’t. We jumped on board the Magic because of the double dip. This is it. No more changes. We did the math and 2 days at castaway cay + 7 nights aboard the Magic (sorry Dream but 4 nights just wasn’t enough even with an aquaduck) + lots of Mojitos (sp) = a great way to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. This will be our 4th Disney cruise and our 3rd on the magic. It will be here before we know it.
