November 18, 2006 Thanksgiving Magic Special Western 2X Castaway Cay 11/18/06

[yogibigdog]

We had such a good time on the 04/17/05 4-Day Wonder that we have now booked the Magic Thanksgiving Cruise for 2006.
My two DS had such a great time but we have not told them yet that we are going back. It would be way too long for them to wait.
Who will be joining us? It will be great to go to Castaway Cay twice!

You can add us to the list! Tim (DH-37) and me (Jill-31). We booked this way back in October 2004. We had a 4-night cruise planned for Sept, but we just cancelled it last week due to DHs work, so we have a LONG wait till our next cruise, but it will be a good one!

I am glad to see we won't be alone. I was surprised that so few DISer's are on our cruise. We will wait and see. I am looking forward to seeing what others have say when they return from the Thanksgiving 2005 Magic. They have a big thread going and sounds like they are going to have a lot of fun.

 

[two-foxes]

give it time...the meet thread will grow bigger as the cruise gets closer. We cruised with the "Cruistoberfest" group last year. We all rebooked on board (we switched our date after we got home to sail on a different itinerary), but that thread for the 2006 cruise started before we even got off the ship! It is huge now!!!

Although this doesn't sound very "family friendly" I am soooo looking forward to a Thanksgiving with out the stress of having our families (Tims folks and my folks are like night and day) at our house (thanksgiving headquarters.) I am notorious for undercooking a turkey and overcooking the stuffing, so maybe the family is ready for a break, too!!

We are booked too!! We rebooked while onboard 4/9/05 Magic. We are a party of six, me, dh, two dd's 12 & 10 when we cruise & my parents. This will be our 3rd cruise. We had talked about trying to change our date to a less expensive time when the '07 dates come out. Still aren't sure if we will or not. I really like the idea of not cooking.

Have a great day!!!

Hi guys, I am on THIS years Thanksgiving Cruise, and I was on the 2004 Thanksgiving Cruise. Not sure yet if we will be booking onboard to sail with you guys for 2006, but I just wanted to drop in here and say hello, just in case. There may be some folks rebook while onboard this year at Thanksgiving.
I may be able to answer some of your questions about the Thanksgiving cruise, if you like. For instance, on Thanksgiving dinner, we had regular turkey,dressing, etc, OR you could order lobster. So, of course I had BOTH!

And the Christmas decorations in the terminal, onboard, and at CC are terrific.

Anyway, like I said, we will be sailing this year, so if you have specific things you would like me to check on, just let me know.I don't know how often I will be looking in here, so you may need to email or send me a PM.

Oh yeah, and the double dip to Castaway Cay is THE BEST part of the whole cruise!

We will be looking forward to a full trip report when you get back! It should be a lot of fun. Is this years cruise western too? Have a wonderful time it will be here before you know it. I have read some of the thread going for this year it is very long it sounds like you guys will have a blast. These boards are the best for us disney nuts!

We had great weather all week long.We were able to go swimming at Castaway Cay although when you first went into the water it felt cold.It was warmer though compared to what we experienced in December 2004.The seas were calm except for the first night,but other then that we had great seas.

The countdown timers just can't be right.....11 months and WHAT????? Just can't wait! With DH's new work, there is a tiny chance he won't be around for the cruise....then what's a girl to do????? GO ANYWAY! He's doing his best to make sure he's here for the cruise, he'd better! We have a quick 3- day scheduled for Feb (yes, we are that desperate for DCL that we'd go then!) but it just will be a teaser!

Glad to hear all went well on the 05 Turkey day cruise.

 

[GreenGirl8]

It seems like the trip is sooo far away. The ticker keeps counting down though. I am so excited about this trip!
