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

Looks like we'll be on the Magic Thanksgiving cruise with the rest of you. We were booked for the 4 night Wonder T-day cruise and my daughter decided to upgrade. She'll be changing our reservations tomorrow.

It will be me, (62), my DD (38) and my grandson, (7). I treated them and my son's family to a four night Disney Wonder cruise last Nov. 6-9. We all LOVED it! First cruise for all of us and we caught the cruise fever.

We met some great people from here on the cruise.

I'm already looking forward to it. The older you get, the faster time flies, so I know the cruise will be here quickly.

On the last cruise, I posted a list of everyone going from here, along with all the information about them available from their posts...etc...first names, ages of children, and home city, state, or country. A copy of it came in handy when we picked a place to meet.

I'm willing to do it for this cruise also, unless one of you more seasoned cruisers wants to do it. There are nine posters so far and will probably be a lot more as it gets closer.

BTW, Maria, I have a sister living in Cocoa Beach. I'm hoping she and my brother-in-law will join us.

WOW!! I just looked at the thread from last year's Magic cruise and we have a lot to measure up to.

Maria, I see you were on it last year. Sounded like a MAGICAL cruise for everyone.

We had a great time.We had a great Disgroup.DH and I enjoyed this past cruise tremendously.Yes,we do have a lot to measure up to.

I hope we get to go to Cozumel as well as Grand Cayman this time around as we missed both ports,but I personally don't care aslong as I am on the Disney Magic.CC twice was fantastic except for the bugs.I got eaten up.Second time was not as bad as I sprayed myself down with sss,and nothing bit me.I can't wait!

We (myself, DW and DS12) booked the Thanksgiving '06 cruise, while on the August repo last year, as a "placeholder" for one of the 2007 cruises. However...... we found out yesterday that we had cleared the waitlist for a Cat 3 and now have one of the mid-ship suites, so we decided to go on this cruise and just take our chances on the 2007 trips. If past menus are any indication, I think we'll be having turkey and lobster on Thanksgiving Day! Certainly wouldn't be getting that at home

See you all there............

Welcome aboard!That is great that you were able to get a cat 3 suite.Yes,we had lobster and turkey on our Thanksgiving 2005 cruise,and we surely enjoyed it.

Maria

 

[DiszyGram]

We have at Cat. 9 , mid-ship,on deck 2 this time. My daughter is treating me to the cruise this year because I treated everyone last year, 7 people in all, to the cruise and two nights in Disney World. She won't go any higher on the ship because she is so afraid of getting sea sick. The lower you are, the less movement. Sea bands worked well on the last cruise....but she doesn't want to chance it.

I will still pay for any other expenses, such as airfare. It's so difficult letting your daughter pay your way but she insists on it.

 

[Disneyfan37]

We have always had category 9 and deck 2.We prefer the less movement ourselves.We are so looking forward to this cruise.That is very nice of your daughter to treat you to this cruise.

Ickkk. Having to cancel yet a second cruise due to DH's travel schedule...I contemplated going on my own, but that would just be mean! So, looks like we won't get to have turkey and lobster on Thanksgiving

We transferred the ressie to the NYE cruise leaving on 12/30, but all of you have fun, enjoy the holiday and most importantly, enjoy two stops at CC

 

[Disneyfan37]

I am sorry you won't be joining us!The New Year's Cruise should be a lot of fun too that.I would love to cruise some time during Christmas or new year's!

Have a great time!

Had to change our plans. We are now going on the 4 day Wonder Thanksgiving cruise. At least I was able to go. Have a Magic trip planned for April 07.

I will be looking forward to at least waving to you guys if the Magic and Wonder should cross paths again this year at Castaway Cay.

Hope you guys have a WONDERful and MAGICal time.

 

[DiszyGram]

Hey!!! We are supposed to be adding people to our cruise list here, not checking them off. I'm sorry yogibigdog and two-foxes won't be with us.

Have you all looked at the thread on the cruise leaving on the 11th of Nov.? There's over 1,000 posts. We have to get busy to catch up.

Our cruise should have a lot of children on it since they are off school that week. It's more and more difficult to get teachers give permission for children to take vacation time during school days. My grandson will be in first grade. He will only miss one day. I think he will survive it.

Well..... I'll add a couple more here. Yesterday we decided to bring my parents on this cruise with us. They have only cruised once before, on a small ship in Alaska. So..... a DCL cruise will be different for them. When I talked to DCL yesterday to book their reservation, the DCL rep asked if they had cruised before. My answer was yes, but not on Disney. Her response was "So, they've never really cruised before?". I had to agree and told her that we would show them how cruising is really done!!

DS is already making plans to show them the entire ship (this will be his 4th Disney cruise, so he knows the ship pretty well). Somehow, I think he will have his grandfather cornered on the shuffleboard courts..... they spend hours playing shuffleboard when they go camping together.

Hey there!
I am going to be booking us this week for the 2006 Thanksgiving cruise! We are 5 adults and 1 child. Actually we are all kids at heart! We just love everything Disney. This will be our second Disney cruise, though this time minus my sister. We have my partner, my daughter who is 7, my mother-in-law, father-in-law, and brother-in-law. Can't wait. Looks like we'll be on Deck 2.

 

[DiszyGram]

Nice to see you joining us, njmoms. My grandson will be 7 by the time we are on the cruise. We will also be on deck two.

Hi all! We are former Turkey cruisers from '04 and we can't wait to get back on this November! After missing the '05 Turkey boat, we vowed to never miss another one. So count us in!

 

[DiszyGram]

Hi Jennifer and Berry, welcome to the group. Hopefully as we get closer to Thanksgiving, we'll all get to know each other.

 

[DiszyGram]

OK group, I'm bumping this up to see if we can find some more Magical turkey floaters. Only 7 months away and counting.

You Turkeys had better get to posting! You have a reputation to live up to!
