October 1st, 2011 Western Caribbean on the Magic!

[Lilo's Mom]

Sure, I would do the FE again. It was fun planning and putting the bags together. I would just stick to one bag per cabin this time instead of several because it was a pain to deliver and in shipping the bags tore open. Plus now Bob has lots of time to plan what he wants to do, he loved making the little chests and usb flash drives.

he's got the best part of nearly 2 years to plan, cant wait to see what he comes up with this time!!

Merry Christmas! I hope you're enjoying your day.

 

[karentan]

happy christmas to everyone too! hope you're having a great day

hi steve, are you back from your trip to london yet? did you have a good time?
i hope you managed to get back ok, our whole infrastructure kinda grinds to a halt when it snows and i've heard there's been hundreds of flight cancellations so far, hope you're not caught up in them.

 

[B9erSteve]

Yeah, we got back on the 4th. Had a wonderful time. I was truly amazed by the amount of history that is contained in those few square miles. On my next day off, I'll be posting some pics.

We did notice that the northern UK was pretty socked in, but London was fairly dry while we were there. As far as snow went there was only a light dusting on a couple of occasions.

its definately making up for it now!! our village is statistically the driest place in the UK, and at the moment, we've got about 6 inches of snow! at least you managed to avoid it all, there's been tons of cancellations and closures at the airports the past week.
you'll have to show us some of your photos, i only get up to london once or twice a year but still love seeing it.

hi everyone!!
we're now officially on this cruise, our paperwork turned up this morning from our travel agents
what dinner seating is everyone on? i think they've put us down for early, but probably going to change that to late, we've done late the last 2 times, and dont really fancy sticking to early...

 

[B9erSteve]

Hello Karen. Laura and I are on early seating. I tried late seating once and was so hungry I could barely stand it.

I know on our last cruise the thread really took off about a year out. Is anyone planning/have done a facebook group? for cruise I found on last cruise the FB group was quite active too.

 

[karentan]

Hello do we have any new castaways yet?

 

[B9erSteve]

I hadn't thought of a facebook group. Interesting idea. I'm planning on making my first payment for this cruise next month. Whoo Hoo! Working a lot of OT to make it happen!

 

[karentan]

i've made a facebook page for us, the link is a couple of posts up.
at this rate we're going to have the ship to ourselves!

Well, somebody snagged up the SPH rooms. They've gotta be lurking out there somewhere!

 

[B9erSteve]

Well, My last comment got me to looking on the Disneycruise website and there were two SPH rooms left. 5020 and 5524. My friends are in 5520 and 5522. So I took 5524. My Bro is moving to that 5020 room. Saved about $430! Whoo Hoo!
