Hi LiserAnn: My parents live in Menifee Lake and my sis in Lake Elsinore. I think I may have my dad drive us to port to drop us off if that may even be an option. I'd like to tell him where he and my mom can then go to have lunch and watch us sail off. So let me know what restaurants have a good positions to see us off. I'd appreciate it very much.

Hi, Minniemoms here, coming from sunny Central California..... will be there on May 28th, and can NOT WAIT.... Coming with 4 of my 6 kids, and my DH, and my 80 year old parents, It is their first cruise ever, so they are both nervous and excited. My Dad has Parkinsons disease, and he used to be the biggest and strongest man around, and now, he is getting a little frail, but He is still the very BEST DAD around.;. Can't wait to experience this there first cruise ever with them, and it is also the 1st time for my kids. DH and I went a cruise last February, where we met mmouse37, she is the BEST..... See you all on Saturday.

We all know you have to be off the ship by 8:am. I think the ship is expected to DOCK around 4-5am (someone correct me if I'm wrong). The Magic is scheduled to leave port again at 5m. This is all Pacific time.

We will be there in the morning at around 8:00ish. We can't wait to see a little of the Magic before our next trip.

Thanks Barbara!!!

Have a great time with the other "fools" (this is an affectionate term, in case anyone is wondering!) at the port to welcome the Magic to CA!!!

Hi PizzieDuster! Small world! Your family is basically in my backyard, so to speak. The best place to go is to the Ports O' Call Village for them to watch you off. It's free to enter and to park. Check this link out for more info on events: http://www.sanpedro.com/ . Ports O' Call Restaurant is supposed to have a good view and also Acapulco's has an outdoor patio. Whatever they do, they should probably make a reservation. Ports O' Call Restaurant told me they expect to be busy. You can find their phone numbers here: http://www.sanpedro.com/spcom/restur.htm Any of the restaurants that are in Ports O' Call Village should have a view of the ships sailing out to sea-I would call to confirm but there are many on the list.

Have fun!

Yes, I will be there too on Saturday! My family and I are booked on the Aug. 20th Repo. cruise. My kids want to see the boat in person and it's only about an hour away from our home. Last week, I returned from a school field trip on Catalina and passed the Carnival boat "Paradise" as we returned to Long Beach. It looked awful and dated!!! I have never seen the Magic in person and I just hope it's better than that Carnival boat. See you in San Pedro on Saturday!

Just wanted to share this DIS thrad link with you all entitled, "Pics of San Pedro, Ca". http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=745887&goto=newpost

So glad to see so many of you going! I wish I could be there!

I'll be there on Saturday with my camera poised & ready! There is a lookout at the end of Gaffey Street near Point Fermin - probably about 5 minutes from Ports O' Call. I plan on being there by 4:30 to take pics of the ship coming in - if anyone knows if the ship will be there earlier just let me know. I want to show it approaching the entrance to the port of LA (there is a huge breakwater w/an opening that ships pass through). Then I want to go down to PoCall to join the group there.

If anyone wants to join me at the overlook let me know

Weather shows overcast mornings and highs in the 70s through Memorial Day. Sun will most likely burn off the clouds by 11am or so -- more quickly inland, like Anaheim.
