Was live - now great memories from the April 26th Eastern Magic

[WDWLVR]

Ok well it is not quite live yet, but we plan to do a few live postings as internet time allows.

This is our 11th DCL cruise and we are excited to be going on an Eastern again. It will be me, DH (aka MarkRG) and our good friends from Ohio Karen (ohiominnie), Mike (ohiomickey) and their kids KT and Nick.

We're part of a good DIS group and we look forward to meeting up with everyone at the DIS meet tomorrow.

The plan for today is to fly in to Orlando and meet up at the airport with Karen, Mike and the kids. Then we head over to the port together and we're spending the night at Hampton Inn. We plan on dinner at Grills and then a nice quiet evening.

We board the ship tomorrow!

Hi Mary,

Anxiously awaiting anything from you..

ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY

 

[MarkRG]

We're here, the trip down was smooth, met up as you have already seen with the Ohio clan, and the walk on the beach was fun.

Going out to Grill's shortly for dinner and to watch the ships go by.

I'm sure Mary'll want to write up something better later. Me, I'll be like this:

Not to be alarming or anything, but with the moderators gone on their own cruise, does that mean we get to act like we did when the teacher stepped out of the room back in elementary school?

Now might be a good time to bring up tipping, smoking, or casinos....

Back in the room after a great day!

Smooth flight coming down and we were met in the baggage claim area by the Ohio family holding up a sign for us. Too cute!

A quick drive over to the port area and check in at the hotel after stopping for lunch. Then out to the beach. Beautiful day. Sunshine and fluffy clouds. There was a Royal Caribbean ship in port that sailed at 5 pm and we (well everyone except Mike who was parking the car) got to see it sail past Grills. Then a nice dinner, a quick stop at Publix and back to the hotel.

As Karen said we then met downstairs for some games of LRC and lots of laughs and now back in the room.

All in all a wonderful day.

Tomorrow looks to be even better because after we wake up we should be able to see the Magic!

Hey there Mary.....
You're two doors down and yet we're communicating through the DIS! HA!

Just chillin' here. Can't go to sleep this early or we'll be up at 4am!

WELCOME TO BREVARD COUNTY​

We finally finished packing a few minutes ago. I know we are forgetting something. Talk about waiting till the last minute.

I think we broke rule #1: nobody laugh, but we have 7 suitcases of various sizes and 1.5 carry-ons. We are NOT seasoned travelers, so we pack everything 'just in case.'

We had planned to get DW's hair braided but decided that we really just needed to spend the time packing. We'll schedule an appointment once we get on the ship.

So welcome to our wonderful town. See you in just over 12 hours.

Randy

Nothing wrong with 7 bags. We have 7 but we also have 8 days at Disney after the cruise.

Well I'm up at 5:30. Of course 5-5:30 is my normal time.

Mark just came back and confirms that the Magic is in port! YEAH!

I'm so jealous, but have a MAGICal week!!!

I know this wasn't what you had in mind Mary, but I was just on the Radisson cam site and captured this pic anyhow, kind of makes me homesick for the Magic. I'll be checking the cams throughout the day for better pics.

Magic on The Radisson Cam 4-26-08 Early AM

I am so jealous right now!!! Just seeing the Magic in port is so magical. Lots of pixie dust on your upcoming trip.
