Unofficial check-in for 2/23 Magic

[fuller114]

Thanks Karen. I don't if this is the proper place for this post, but my daughter wanted to send a note to other kids on the 2/23 sailing...

Hi,

My name is Laura and I am 6 years old. I like to paint with my friends and make forts with bunk beds. I like to read Magic Tree House books. I’m looking forward to snorkeling. I’ve never done it before but I love to play in the pool. I would like to know what other kids around my age are looking forward to doing on the cruise.

See you on the cruise!!

Laura

Has anyone ever brought their own iron? My friend said she always brings hers. She also said the spray wrinkle remover works well!

Hi Laura! My name is Jayme. I am 8 and my 4 year old sis & I will be on the cruise 2/23,too! It is the best place in the world! You will have so much fun!

I did purchase Downey Wrinkle Guard. Other people on the boards have recommended it. I'm still going to iron everything first even though it does seem to get so wrinkled when it's packed!

Ellen, we must be passing each other at some point!!!! I'm going back to Mall of NH tomorrow....you???!!!

cinbis....yes, we are still staying at the Radisson on the 2/22!!!!! We might not arrive until later in the day, I originally hoped to check in around 11:00 and hang by the pool, but now that I will be bringing my elderly aunt (82) to Disney for two days, the morning of the 22nd I have to drive her back to Clearwater (2 hours) and then back to Disney to pick up my kids at their friends hotel and then over to the Port. Whew....I will really need that cruise. It will be nice not to drive for a week.

P.S. that is after the six hour drive from Ft. Lauderdale to Clearwater to pick up my aunt on the 20th!!!!

Linda,

Was nice to hear that you and your family would be on the cruise.

I have been reading this forum and seems to be alot of East Coasters. I was afraid that my family would be the only ones from the West.

I also have a daughter who is into the Magic Tree house books.
She has read all but 2 of them. She is very excited about the cruise and the many activites.

You mentioned that your daughter goes to the "Park" often, are you an AP?

See you on the 23rd.

Hi, Geoff & Heather!

Isn't it amazing how time flies while you read these posts?

I've added you to our (growing) list, in the first post of this thread.

Keep an eye out for lime green ribbons. See you soon.

Karen

 

[gooypooh'smom]

OOPS! I forgot to ask you to add us to the list! We will also be staying at the Raddisson.
2 adults-Joe & Michelle, 2 girls-Jayme 8 & Madison 4, & Joey 1 1/2 early seating
Only 11 more days!

 

[Rikersmom]

Hi, Michelle & Joe--

I'll add you to the list (first post). Wow! I am amazed at how many DISers will be on board. I don't remember seeing this many names on any previous list. (I'm sure someone out there will correct me if I'm wrong.) Maybe more people are learning how great these boards are.

Anyway-----looking forward to meeting you VERY soon.

Karen

gobbi45....what is the small Spray bottle from Bath and Body works that you mentioned? Is it a wrinkle releaser or body spray or what...I am so curious!


MJ

 

[cinbis]

MJ-

I can answer your question. Both Ellen (Gobbi45) and I bought the room freshener from Bath and Body Works. It comes in a small spray bottle. There are a variety of scents available.

The Downey Wrinkle Releaser was something different. I bought it at Walmart. I read a post that it works well. I haven't tried it yet.

I'll look for you at the Radisson on 2/22! You're going to be exhausted at that point!!! I'll probably find you in the bar!!!

Hello Fellow DIS-ers,

Not sure this following question belongs here but here goes.

Is anyone planning on going horseback riding in St. Marteen?

We just booked the 2 hour trail and beach ride with Lucky Stables. We also have a 20% that we got on line.

If anyone is considering this and wants to join us please let me know.

Lesle

 

[Rikersmom]

It's been way too long since I've been horseback riding, but it sure sounds like fun. Just think, you'll be able to relax in the whirlpool when you get back to the ship in case you find some sore spots that need comforting.

Wish I could concentrate on something else besides this upcoming trip. No luck.

 

[Rikersmom]

Strange question: For any previous cruisers: what's the name of the little girl in Disney Dreams? I was telling someone about the show, and I couldn't remember her name. It's bugging me. Thanks.

 

[mmouse37]

The name Jody keeps popping in my head...but I really don't remember whate the little girl's name is.

That would be a good Trivia Question!!!

[gobbi45]

Hey, I hate to see this thread be on page 2. Got to keep us right up on top!!! It adds to the excitement. I see the question about the air freshener was answered. (thanks cindi) Well I guess I will be off to look for suntan lotion. That's one item we can't forget. bounc inkbounc

 

[mmouse37]

Since we will be in Florida for a few days before the cruise I thought I would pick sun tan lotion up down there. One less thing to carry in my carryon!!

MJ

 

[Rikersmom]

My favorite suntan lotion in the world is Australian Gold. They tell me that because of some marketing deal it isn't available in Pennsylvania. I have never been sunburned with it. It smells lovely. Check it out.

 

[cinbis]

I had a little trouble finding sunscreen. I ended up buying Lancome with a 40 SPF. I've heard of people on cruises getting burned the first day and then being very uncomfortable the rest of the time. I've never used 40 before, but want to be cautious! Ten more days!

I Have heard that the horseback riding is much better at Bayside Stables. The stables are suppose to be much cleaner and the riding much more enjoyable. What time did you book for ? I'm not sure about Lucky but I think it takes awhile to get to Bayside.
Gooypooh'smom was supposed to be Goofypooh'smom, but my husband registered me and I have not been able to change it so don't think I'm strange!

ONLY 9 MORE DAYS!
