If you will be sailing on the 2010 11-Night Southern Caribbean Holiday Cruise on the Disney Magic from Dec 18-29, then please post here and meet all the other DISers who will celebrate Christmas with the Mouse!
Cruise Itinerary (with unofficial/unconfirmed theme nights highlighted)

Wed, Dec 29: Port Canaveral ....... (Disembarkation)
Other Schedule Notes:
- The three restaurants should have their specialty menus on Dec 20-22. Lumiere's will have the French Dinner menu. Parrot Cay will have the Island Dinner menu. And whichever night you are in Animator's Palate during these three nights is when you would see the "Show Dinner."
- I'm not sure where they will put the Villains Tonight! show. I'm guessing either Dec 24, 25, or 26. I can see them not wanting to do it on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, but I'm not sure they would do in the 26th, because I'm assuming Disney Dreams will be on the 27th. Would they do two major productions back-to-back? I guess they could do it on Dec 21 or 22.

Organized DIS Meets and Activities
- Pre Cruise Meet (WDW): bigAWL (that's me) will be happy to arrange a time and place for anyone interested in meeting on WDW property prior to the cruise. Please post here or PM me if you are interested.
- Pre Cruise Meet (Hyatt): A pre-cruise meet will be held in the lobby lounge from 7-9pm on the 17th. Stop by and meet some of your DIS friends.
- Onboard Teen Cruise Meet:For kids wanting to meet other kids. Meet on the starboard side of Deck 10 above the Goofy Pool (starboard side) on Embarkation Day at 2pm.
- Onboard Kids Cruise Meet:For kids wanting to meet other kids. Meet at the Mickey Pool (starboard side) on Embarkation Day at 3pm. Have a Mickey ice cream bar or soft serve, and maybe a dip in the pool. All are welcome - the big kids (adults) can start meeting, too.
- Onboard Cruise Meet: 3princessMommy & DVC4US are organizing an on board cruise meet inviting all DISers. Tentatively set for the first day at sea, Sunday Dec 19, at 2pm (location to be determined). The plan is to combine this with the Ornament Exchange (see below) which is optional.
- Ornament Exchange: Anyone interested in participating in the ornament exchange should bring one wrapped ornament to the Cruise Meet. The ornaments should not cost more than $20, and if possible, they should reflect where you are from, Disney, or just something that tells us about you. We will take turns unwrapping or exchanging them à la a "white elephant" gift exchange.
- Fish Extenders: tinkmischief has volunteered to keep the official list of those interested in participating in the Fish Extender exchange. As of Nov 1, the FE list is officially closed. As soon as the details about groups is worked out, I'll post them here.
- Secret Mickey Gift Exchange: Please send a PM to Disney Rocks if you would like to participate or if you have any questions. She'll need your name, state room number, age (if participant is a child), favorite Disney character, and any other interests which would help your Secret Mickey find something appropriate for you. Gifts can be a single item or multiple items that are gifted during the course of the cruise. Total amount spent on the gift(s) should be approximately $20 - 25. Toward the end of the cruise, there is a tentative plan for a "Meet your Secret Mickey" gathering.
- Palo Brunch Group: Palo offers brunch service in a private dining room for groups of 12-14 adults. One brunch group is already full (thanks, DVC4US). If you would like to organize or participate in one of these groups, post here and maybe another group can fill a reservation. We'll just need someone to organize it.
- Private Wine Tasting DVC4US is also trying to arrange a private group wine tasting (we're going to have to call LeiLani Super Woman), on Monday Dec 20, from 1-2pm. Location is TBD. The cost should be $20 per person. Please contact her if you are interested.
- DCL Holiday Events: (Possible special events scheduled by DCL, based on previous cruises)
-- Tree-lighting ceremony.
-- Christmas religious services on Christmas Eve (11:15 pm) and Christmas morning (8:30 am).
-- Crew member Caroling.
-- Santa Claus visits on Christmas morning, with cookies, hot cocoa, and coffee set up in the Lobby Atrium.
- T-Shirts are Available: You can order your t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc featuring the holiday cruise logo above at this website: http://www.cafepress.com/DisneyMagicChristmasShirts
