The Magic In Texas

[WDWLVR]

For those not reading the live from the Magic thread. She's in TX now and on this web shot (but don't know for how long).

Web Cam

Edited to add - looks like she is docking right in the cam view - cool!

According to those on the Magic they will get to go ashore today.

With the Magic in Texas are they there just to maybe refuel or are the people onboard going to get a chance to get off the ship and have a few hours to have a look around Galviston???? Anyone hear anything about that????

We are on the October 16- 7 Night and I am wondering what the options for us are going to be. From what I have seen it looks like St Thomas and St Marrtin didn't really play into this storm at all but CC took a good hit from it. We allready have 3 sea days on this one and I am kind of hoping that it won't be 4 at sea wondering what possible options there are for another port thrown into the mix if CC isn't a possibility by then.

Thanks for posting. I wanted to drive down and look at the ship but my DH has decided I'm nuts. He trying to find me a 12 step program for Disney Addicts. Anyway, I glad I at least get to see it on the cam while it's there. I'm sure their not letting anyone off, which is too bad there some great things to do in Houston.

We are planning to have lunch in Galveston and see our dear friend!

I have read that they are leaving at 12, but since they just now are docking, and they are letting people off, wouldnt that be 12 midnight? The Strand is just one block over, and that is a cool area to shop in, but isn't noon pushing it?

 

[CRSNDSNY]

That is so NEAT!

 

[silver7]

I just confirmed that they are leaving at noon, so we are running down there now.

Guess we'll have to join the mad rush to Galveston as well!!

See you all there!

If the Magic is in TX, does anyone know where the Wonder is? Will she use today as a sea say and port in TX tomorrow while the Magic is at sea? Just WONDERing! thanks! Oh, and FWIW, twopalms.com is still up and running, but it is hard to make anything out since the camera is covered in rain. BE SAFE YA'LL!!

Are they going to let those passengers off who would like to fly back home? Or dose everyone have to come back and debark at PC ??

That's exactly how my DH reacted when I suggested we make the 4 hour drive to Galveston to see the Magic in port!!

Good Morning everyone, we are currently on the Magic and docked in Galveston. You can get off and leave or just visit, if you leave you are responsible for your own air arrangements. We will be in port to 1 PM.

Have a great day all

That is 1:00 Central time, I would presume, which means 2:00 p.m. in my neck of the woods!

The weather looks beautiful there!

The Wonder is steaming her way down to Cozumel.

My DH also wanted to sign me up for a 12 step program. I am just glad to see it online. We should have just carpooled. But DH friends at work said "Why would you want to spoil the first time you see the ship just as you board in 5 weeks?" So you can tell which direction we went.

Oh Well counting the Days until Magic boarding Oct 9th.

We just got back, and the Magic was still there at 2. We were told by the Cast Members on the Magic (and by a couple of guests) that 600 people decided to get off in Galveston and find their own way home.. I volunteered to fill an extra room or two, but no dice.

 

[Grumpy's Mom]

she's moving!

 

[WDWCrazzyCunninghams]

AAARRRGGGGHHH!!!!! And I totally missed it! I had the little pop-up window minimized and Steve called. I talked to him, rechecked and she was gone!

 

[goin2disneyagain]

Wow, I guess I checked the webcam just in time. She was there and then 5 minutes later she was gone.

 

[WDWLVR]

It was great while it lasted. Hope everyone on the Magic enjoyed this stop on their magical mystery tour.
