Lynn,

Thanks for having us in mind for that room, but I think with all I put our TA through (long story) we should just stay put. Afterall it is still a secret verandah. Many thanks, though.

Hey Guy's, hope you don't mind someone from across the pond joining in on your thread?

We have also booked this cruise

This will be our 3rd Cruise, first one on the Magic though. There will just be myself, Michelle and my DH, Neil. Our Daughters are grown up and no longer vacation with their parents, which is ok as someone has to stay at home and look after our 4 Labradors
We too have booked a secret verandah cabin.

Looking forward to getting to know you all

 

[dizzi]

WELCOME WELCOME SQUITTY!!!!!!!!



COOLNESS WHAT is YOUR Secret CABIN ###

We are getting ready to call the DVC now and see what we find out.

We will be joining all of you on this curise too. My family, 2 girls, hubby, who will just be returning from Iraq, and myself of course. Also, my sister and her two sons!!!! This will be our first disney cruise. We are so excited.

 

[dizzi]

WELCOME DONALDSTHEBEST!!!!!

So happy to see so many so soon!!!!!

 

[donaldsthebest]

We are so happy to all be going. I just hope that my hubby really does make it home in time to go!!!!! I am a little nervous though, first time going on a criuse.. .....i am sure we are going to love it. Our kids are excited too!!!

 

[dizzi]

I cant imagine you wont love it.

This will be our 3rd cruise so of course we love it.

I too was afraid i would spend all that money and then be dissatisfied.
Our family has done the parks many times but almost felt that for a minute we were outgowing them as my kids left at home are teenagers.

So this is an AWESOME alternative for us.

We get the GREAT DISNEY SERIVE and get a vacation to fit every need for all of us.

For Instance my DS 15 wanted nothing more than to go to CHNA for his High School graduation, and i was prepared to get him there as he had soem very rough years and we didnt think we would see him even make it to highschool, so for him to graduate is a BIG DEAL.

But after going on the Magic he said he would settle for taking a DISNEY CRUISe very year until he could not go in the TEEN STACK anymore in exchange.

So he obviously loved it.

AND A GREAT EXCHANGE FOR THE REST OF US!!!!!!!

This cruise will be his last.

We opted to take 2 last year insted of 1 each year as we wanted to do the one in CALIFORNIA this past MAY.

Hi everyone
Just dropping in for a quick hello and introduction. DW and I just came back from a 7 day Eastern on the Magic and rebooked onboard for Oct 16 2010. By saying we have just come back I mean we walked into our house not even 6 hours ago!
We met lots of very nice people and DIS helped out. By the time we sailed we had well over a hundred people, t shirts, FE exchange, tag games etc. You can't beat late night deck night drinks when the kidlets are in the clubs. Our little ones are 4 and 6 and we had a hard time pulling them out of the clubs
Only one hiccup this cruise was OMAR! The seas were a bit rough, we did St.Maarten and beelined for Nassau since the coast guard closed St.Thomas. By the time we got to Nassau we heard St.Maarten got about 20 inches of rain...
The Liberty of the seas docked beside us and we never thought to snap pictures of her
There were 4 ships docked in Nassau, tons of people.
Castaway Cay was awsome!!!! Can't wait to do it again

 

[donaldsthebest]

welcome. you give me great hope for our first cruise. I am glad your kids had fun. I will be traveling with two. they will be 10 and 12. Can anyone tell me, if you can use disney dollars on the ship? we have begun giving them to our kids already. Also, does anyone know if you can pre buy ship board credit? Thanks for all the info.

 

[squitty]

Thanks dizzi

We are in cabin 7120, we did have 7620 but the system went crazy as it was the day they went on sale and it was so slow. So when we got back online we couldn't have that one as it was still on hold.
We have stayed in 7620 before and loved it

Are you booking with points for your cruise. We are DVC members also

Looking forward to planning this one, we only have 2 years!

WELCOME PINKS GIRLS HUBBY

We Sailed in October 2007 and we too had Really bad Seas i dont remmebr the name of the storm we were trying to avoid but i took seasick medication the whole time.....and we had one kid literally throw up at our table....(INTO A WINE GLASS) it was pretty awesome acomplishment i thought.

BUT we got to do St Maarteen and St Thomas BUT we missed CASTAWAY CAY.......We had to dock at NASSUA instead but did get to dock right beside the WONDER. We have a couple pictures of the 2 boats together......But i wish i had video tape the whole thing, it is soemthing i bet we will NEVER see again.

We were up on deck at TOPSIDERS eating breakfast and i said to my Dh look at the ship following us...It was a very small dot at first but the closer it camei siad to him" looks just like the MAGIC. oh my gosh i think tis the WONDER"... But the reality of it never sank in until later when they were announcing that indeed we would be joined byt he WONDER in port.


SO WE HAVE NEVER BEEN TO CASTAWAY CAY and have sailed 2 times.

I dont know about the DISNEY DOLLARS...I think it is a NO.....But yet soemwhere in my head it seems i have read something about that changing????so i know that was no help but we can keep our eyes open for the info........

ALthough really they dont need any cash.....YOUR KIDDOS.....They can use a KEY CARD for anythign they want if you give them that option.

I was looking back at some SECRET VERANDAH THREAD and found soem of your posts on there. Funny we were posting on the same thread early last year.

I had asked if these rooms would go quickly and i though the consisus was NO but indeed they sure do, i was surprised to get one. We are trying a new appraoch with 2 rooms one across from the other one an inside cabin.

ANd years we did use points but not for everyone. We dedicded to pay soem and use some we used one whole year and only about a 1/3 of another year.

WE ARE SOOOOOO HOPING that my MOM AND DAD WLL come with us and stay with the kids in the other cabin. In that case we might use our points for one of them and then only have to pay for one of them.

BUT we have almost 2 years to convince them they shoudl come, but i hava laready startee the seed planting process for themt o come as i told her about he cruise and invited them and i am going to send her pictures every day from our last cruise.

ALSO i plan to go to PORT CANAVERAL one day as we live fairly close and are up there often, and make a sign that say PLEASE COME WITH US....and take a picture of it............MAYBE EVEN do one with each of the kids! Have to ghit the post one day when the MAGIC IS THERE>>>>

 

[dizzi]

WELL, being the LUCKY person that i am IT IS MY DAY OFF....and i have to go in to work.

So now i have to go clean the house so i can go to work on my day off.

It's funny that this thread has accounted for 3 of the 4 SV rooms. I wonder if the 4th will join us at some point?

We had originally booked a different cruise and had 7120. When I asked our TA to change us to this one I knew 7120 was booked, however at that time 7620 was still open. By the time our TA did her thing 7620 was gone and we wound up with a deck 6 SV. And then 2 days later Dizzi winds up with 7620. Someone must've had it on hold and cancelled.

Oh well, I think we'll enjoy the room even though it isn't on our favorite deck (7).

I hear these starboard side verandahs offer great views of the fireworks. So if we are too tired to go up to deck 9 for the pirate thing, we'll still have a great view.

You sound as though you have it all planned Like you say you have 2 years to convince them to come along.
On our next cruise we are staying in a inside cabin, cat 11, deck 7, I think it's 7625. I am sure it will be fine.

 

[dizzi]

we did an inside cabin last time around ... we didnt do too bad and we could have not used $$$ and just used all points for one again but since it is ort of my SONS LAST FAMILY VACATION as a HIGH SCHOOLER and LAST TIME IN THE STACK i thought we should DO IT UP!!!!!!!!!

YEs i am pretty sure the first thread i started out on the main boards the lady that replied said she would join us here and she had the other.....I was just going bak to find it now. And try and look and see where we all are.
