OCT 16 2010......7 Night Western.... "BRING BACK THE MAGIC"!

[nenner1]

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?

Welcome to all the newbies! Especially this one!

That is a good idea about the Pirate night thing.

although i would hate to Miss out on Mickey Flying>

But i could do what we did last time only better.......
Which was i watched Mickey Fly and then i found where the line wa going to begin for the Pirate Buffet and i stood thee until they opened it was the first person in the line and got a PLATE full of goodeis and returned to my room, only to find i had gotten some wires crossed with Dh andi sat in the hallway and ate until he got there.....

This time around i cantake my own jey and get food and go sit on the verandah!!

Just got our room assignments! We are in 6051.

Our group has 6 families traveling together with more probably joining us as time goes on.

Also, to all the new people who have joined us in the last couple days.

Hello all! I told Lynn on the other thread that I would come and join once it was up and running...little did I know that it would already be 5 pages long

I booked this cruise the week it was released-booked a Cat 7 secret verandah (6134) for the 3 of us. We have cruised on the Wonder twice but this will be our first time on the Magic. Cruising will be myself, DH, and DD who will be 11 at the time we cruise. This cruise falls between my birthday (October 6th) and my DH's birthday (October 25th). We are so looking forward to a longer cruise and not feeling rushed like we did on the 3 day trips

I am looking forward to participating in any group activities that we all cook up and already made my fish extender.

Looking forward to getting to know all of of you over the next two years until we cruise

HEY BZZELADY...........Glad to see you here.

WELCOME WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!

So now we have all 4 SVR in our group......I think that is totally cool!!!!!

And i also know if i want to cruise in it again i need to book it the day the dates come out!!! I think it was a fkluke i got it when i did.

 

[dizzi]

That is awesome DIZZYLAND......

Now you can start making stuff with your room # on it

 

[bzzelady]

I think it is rather a hoot that our so far very small group has all 4 of the secret verandah cabins! They are a great value for the money...essentially, you get a full verandah for the cat 7 pricing. I actually like having that little bit of the solid hull on the one side of the verandah-it offers a bit more protection from the elements if it is raining and a bit of shade in the early morning sunrise.

How cool!
Now to see how fast the SPH's go....

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.

You can buy credit. DW asked me before hand and I declined. All the stuff at Castaway Cay was on the card, wish we had it ahead of time but no matter we still would have spent it. It was nice to have enough left over to pretty much cover the deposit on this cruise

PINNKGIRLSHUBBY.......will your DW be joining our thread?

I just read the thing under your name ........ that is pretty cute.

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>>>>

Port Canaveral is good for arriving a day early. We had over 30 of us at the Country Inn and Suites, made for a good pre cruise pool party.
I would do 2 things a bit differently. Instead of shopping for refreshments at Publix I'd go to the liquor store and I'd stay away from the KFC since I'm pretty sure Gordon Ramsay would shut them down LOL

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.

We had room 7062 but this one we opted for deck 6 since we had friends there and really didn't see that big a difference except for the plastic lawn furniture.

We were assigned 6062 but I had it changed. I thought it was directly under our 7062 but we did a walk by on debarkation morning and our jaws dropped when we noticed it was 2 doors across the midship elevators...NOT lol

 

[dizzi]

I just know i am glad to have a verandah, I think this time around it will be the favorite part of my vacation!

I think later on if my parents opt out we may ask one of each of our kids friends to go with them.

I think that would be enjoyable for them and the parents wont really have to pay too much.

 

[dizzi]

I imagine that could get a little loud.

 

[Pinkgurlshubby]

PINNKGIRLSHUBBY.......will your DW be joining our thread?

I just read the thing under your name ........ that is pretty cute.

Yes she will be and you will know when she gets here. She is Pinkygirl. Our cruise just ended a few days ago and chapter 14 is still open LOL. Parrothead Pirates in Paradise.
My siggy came from me admitting I love fried Spam and eggs for breakfast. We got 3 packs of Spam in our FE's so I fiigure I scored LOL

 

[dizzi]

HAHAHA that is funny.

I like spam too actually....But it is soooo not good for you unless you get the turkey spam BUt then it really isnt spam is it???????

You will love the verandah. For us it was just a matter of being held prisoners in our room when the kidlets go to sleeps but just being able to go out there at night to enjoy a coffee or a beer is great

LOL!!!!

 

[dizzi]

Oh yes we had one on our first cruise but didnt get one on the second cruise.

I think we will enjoy it more this time for 2 reasons.

1. Being we know what we have now as before we didnt appreciate it as much.

2. I plan to spend more time out there enjoying it instead of running the kids here and there and everywhere they will be old enoough to do most things for them selves and i plan on sitting my but on the verandah.
