Could someone remind me how to post pictures in these replies please?

Chuck, I couldn't do it myself until my professional musician brother helped me through it. He had to take the picture I wanted to post, put it on his web page, and give me a link to it.

I could not find any way to post a link directly to my computer pictures. My computer skills are all self taught.

Thanks for the info about Deck 6 Chuck! I am in 6631...unless of course someone waves a magic wand and puts me somewhere else when I check-in.

Thanks for the tribute website link Gail. That is pretty cool.

Man, I couldn't be more excited. I think I say that every post. I'm going to have to go and find that secret area on Deck 7 when I get there.

I was going to post a picture of myself but I can't figure out how to do it. If anyone learns how...let me know!

Andrea,
Your name is not next to you stateroom number on the ship...which I think someone also mentioned. You can call guest services and asked to be connected to a room...they willnot give you the room number though.

Like others have said that is a great location. Our favorite is deck five because of the kids area, but deck 6 is our next favorite. Just three decks up to the pool and food and three down to the atrium and two of the three restaurants. And we prefer the aft of the ship.

This time we are on deck 7 but forward...not our favorite location, but we will take it. We wanted Cat 6 or 7 and got a Cat 5.

As for giving out info my husband worried about using my daughters name the first time so I did not put it on any signs. Now he has seen the light. We are constanly calling Jessica come here or a photographer saying Jessica smile so if someone wants to know her name they will. As for giving out stateroom numbers it is the easiest way for others to find you. The only reason I have not listed the other rooms linked to us is that until today they had none. They were GTY cat. I will put those in when I update the list at the end of this weekend. I have found all the folks on this board to be wonderful and have not worried about giving out my info to any of them. Not that it is not good to be cautious.

In will make the same offer I did last March. Since I live so close to the airport I can give my cell phone number to anyone he needs one in case of an emergency rescue at the airport or may need someone to pick up something they forgot. Last March then was another lady traveling with a child and was so worried she would end up without diapers and no way to get to a store. SO she had my number just in case.

So if you want it so you have a local emergency contact PM me and I will happily give it to you.

For those arriving early and spending time at WDW I hope we can make some crowds disppear. We took my MIL to MK today and the lines were huge. They had big crowds yesterday at the Studios. Of Course, tomorrow is the start of Super Soap Weekend and so the crowds may thin come Monday.


Chuck,
I do the pictures by uploading to photobucket.com. Then you copy the URL for Image and paste it in. Let me know if you need anymore help. Also, I am going to PM you with some info.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all of the info about deck 6 Michelle. I think I'm going to love the location. Honestly I would love any location! Here is a pic of me from my passport. I just renewed my passport so its the most recent photo I could find.

It's so cold here today! Well, cold for San Francisco. My dog is sick today and keeps throwing up. I'm not sure what is wrong with her but I think she has an upset stomach. She's probably mad that I brought out the suitcase!

Have a great evening,

Andrea

attempt #2, but if you click on the prior link, it works.

 

[ICEMANPAD]

third attempt

 

[ICEMANPAD]

well, i finally got it right after the third try, but thanks to the magic of disboards, all of our prior entries' signature got changed. Can you imagine how difficult it was to get everyone in one spot at the same time? well, alot of us anyway.

Looks like a great crowd, all four times. Did everyone dress up just for the picture?

 

[ICEMANPAD]

The picture was taken after dinner on one of the formal nights. We arranged the time w/ the disers and the ship photographer.

So....one week from today we will all be waking up and making our way to the terminal so the Magic can begin!!!

Lisa, what are you doing up at this hour. I wish you all the fun and luck in the world. I'm looking forward to counting down in terms of a week. I will be looking for your posts.

May your last week before you go be productive.

Thanks Tonya!!

There's never enough time!! This morning we have a soccer game for Mason and then I have some "Lisa" time--a pedicure and a hair appointment!! The countdown begins!!

So, I went online to check our reservation and was surprised to see that it said that we had no excursions or Palo reservations booked.
Keep in mind, I was up at 3 am at the 90 day mark to book the excursions and Palo times. I called and was told that they would not be able to try to correct the problem until monday and then call me on tuesday to let me know. Now, I'm going to be nervous until tuesday. It looks like when they switched our cabin last week, something got messed up. However, we still have the same reservation # so I'm not sure what happened.

Lisa

 

[cruisecrzy]

Icemanpad I know what happened. The same thing happened to us. I will PM you with the details. As long as you have everything printed out you are going to be fine.
Don't stress.

Good Morning. I can't believe one week from today we will be on The Magic! My kids are very excited.

I called Disney this morning and was told the following movies would be playing on our cruise:

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Cars
The Prestige
The Guardian
Santa Clause 3
Chicken Little
Eight Below
Narnia
Shaggy Dog
The Wild
Stick It
Step Up
Invincible

I hope everyone has a great day!

 

[DiszyGram]

There are a few movies I haven't seen before and a few I would like seeing again. I don't think I want to watch 8 below. I have a big soft spot in my heart for animals and especially dogs. Some of the dogs die in that movie. Tears and a Disney cruise don't go together for me.

Next week Monday is free for me. Tuesday my teeth get checked and cleaned. Don't want anything falling out of my mouth during the cruise. <-----shining teeth. After that I go for my pedicure and manicure.

Wednesday I get my hair permed. There isn't a single natural curl or even a bent hair on my head. Unfortunately there will be too many curls after the perm. Think stick your finger in an electric socket. <---pointing to all the curls.

Thursday I have to make sure the trash gets out for the next morning. We are being picked up around 8 am on Friday. Also have to figure out how to set those #*% timers so a few of my lights will go on and off by themselves.

Friday will be a fun and relaxing visit with my sister.

Saturday is day.

 

[ICEMANPAD]

Michelle-

Thanks for the encouraging words!! I have all of my print outs confirming my reservations!!

Lisa

 

[cruisecrzy]

I will PM you now with what might have happened. I was in the town of St. Cloud today using their cyber spot....figured you might have heard of it since you live in Florida. The connection kept dropping and I gave up.

Hey Michele,

I know why MLK was so crowded this week....it was Jersey Week. All the public schools in the state of NJ were closed on Thurs and Fri for a teachers convention. A whole lot of families take that opportunity to take a family vacation. We did that last year.
