September 29, 2007 - Magic

[prestonsmomma]

how many of us are new to cruising ?

My second, Preston's first, and My parents have lost count. Heck they did a four day Carnival while we went to Disney in December.

My son was on a camp field trip to Disneyland today and it was so busy they missed ALL of the 'Mountains'...he said he had a great time though!!!

9 months from to day (Wednesday): St. Thomas....

That's a bummer!!! Missing the Mountains is tough when you're a kid, even we adults get a little testy when we miss the Mountains. That's the one nice thing I can say for our trip a week ago - son got to do all the big kid stuff with minimal wait! It's good to have these boards to know the tricks!!

I'm going to be in a wedding this spring and I told my husband with luck, the dress will be suitable for formal night on the cruise!! Whoo hoo! We're to the point we can start thinking cruise clothes!!

Hi everyone! We are going to be on this cruise and we are so excited to be sailing on the Magic for the second time. Our first cruise was the Western last September and you can link to our trip report in my Signature for pictures of us and details about our first cruise. Anyway, I hope to get to know everyone on this thread better before our cruise.

Is anybody going to WDW before the cruise? Last time we went after and are switching to before this time around. Tentatively we are looking at 3 nights somewhere on property although we have not decided where yet.

I was reading you trip report and look forward to the rest of it! Definately going to make some notes for our trip from that, thanks!

We are going to be at the Beach Club for a week prior to the cruise. We have been doing a LOT of planning and stuff this week and this whole trip is distracting from work. (Oh darn...)

Hi Jay!

I just added the last installment of our cruise to the trip report. I have been doing a lot of planning this week as well. I think I have our park days mapped out already. I am excited to be on the magic once again.

Welcome, welcome, welcome. We are not going to do WDW. Just the cruise. It's funny. Normally, our year is uneventful and boring. This year, we have so much going on that by the time September rolls around, we're going to NEED this cruise to catch up on rest!!

So, who is devoted to their diet and exercise anticipating being in a bathing suit for 7 days??

I need to be. I will be joining Weight Watchers at work this month. And I will get back to the gym (I will, I will).

I'm kind of following Weight Watchers. I"m not a member but I have friends who are so they tell me stuff and I have that card to measure points. I also am doing Pilates for Dummies in the privacy of my bedroom!!

We are excited to be joining!! We just put our deposit down and can't wait!! This will be our second 7nt, first Eastern. We have taken the Wonder once but it was shortened from a 4nt to a 3nt due to hurricane. It will be me, my dh and my dd who will be 11 then. Just wanted to introduce myself and hopefully get to know everyone here!

So glad you can join us. We're getting quite the group together!!! It's definitely going to be a fun party!!!

 

[SueRS]

We are so happy to have more join our party.

WOW.

Been a busy life this month. I've hardly checked in here.

mcraft17 Looks like itas gonna be a nice big party.

Now who has started shoppping for their cruise wardrobe? My family(parents and sister) have kindly started off mine with 2 polo shirts. Hopefully once the taxman giveth my money back I can add to it. In the meantime I'll be doing my new stability ball workout to try and look good in a bathing suit

I hate working out in front of my family. If I do, DD (3) is right next to me asking if I'm okay, announcing that I'm hot (sweat pouring down my face) and then shows me how easily and painlessly she can do what I'm doing. Brat!

 

[mcraft17]

Thank you all for the welcome!!! I know what you mean about trying to get in shape. A few years ago I lost 75lbs with Weight Watchers but have let a few (HA HA like 25lbs) back but since Jan. 1st I have been diligently trying to stay on course. 8lbs down with more to go!! Now if only I could work as hard on actually exercising, seems I do it one day then forget for a week.

Here's to all of us reaching our goal only so we can indulge on the cruise!

Don't you hate kids? I can squat for 2-3 minutes NP. Its getyting up from the squat that's a problem My little niece can squat and bounce around endlessly. Some days I just wanna go back to being 2yo I swear.

And my cockatiel Rally has decided he no longer likes the entertainment i provide by doing my workout in the living room(while DH is at work thank goodness). He's decided he'd rather fly up to the blinds over the window and stare at the wall. I must really be bad at this 1. Or Liz just isn't pretty enough for him.

On another topic, how many of you are going down the day b4 and if you are have you booked your rooms yet? I'm currently researching hotels now. Hoping i get enough of a tax refund to put another deposit on the cruise and book a room.

 

[ragdoll]

Shannon's DBF and his two boys Andy 3 and David 6 will be joining us. Papa and Goo will definitely need a vacation after this vacation. We will have two little ones in our Cat. 9 or else Shannon will have four kids in hers. Panama Canal Repo, here we come! Knowing that we will be on the Magic for fifteen nights by ourselves in May will get us through this!

We're flying in the night before only because we're coming from PHX and I don't want to deal with any stress of missing a boat. No thank you! But we haven't booked the hotel yet.

Keep up your work out!!!
