May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!!

[AuntyBrat]

Ah but I channel my OCD now and use my powers for good and not evil And of course I bounce stuff off of you ... who else would put up with it?

And oh, I'm doing the same Alaska cruise thank you very much, and doing the EBRC 2008 ... I'll just have 3 more months to OCD about the DCL cruise than you, so there.

AND you get to OCD about child's high school graduation!!!
But, of couse, I will share all the wisdom (probably more like horrific gaffs DCL does on this cruise) so that you all can work on avoiding them like the plague on the EBRC...Wonder if we will get to sleep in the halls??? The stuff that memories are made of...or is that nightmares???

Not like I planned that on purpose or anything like that

Hi I'm Goofy and i'm addicted to the Dis....

Gotta go through the canal...gotta go.....

So far DH is in...Not sure about DD (She'll be at the end of 9th grade then and there's testing.)

Willing to take any cabin...but SPH preferred...

I hear this thread needs some help in the posting department.....

Eastbound gets an extra port?

 

[goofyforlife]

That port may have been unavailable we we'll get there....

 

[ibouncetoo]

Ohhhhh, Aruba, I like that!


hmmmm, Eastbound get Cartegna too! Lucky ducks.

 

[taysmom]

Ok, now just waiting to book it. Westbound here we come....bringing the magic to OUR home!

 

[pjpoohbear]

Hoping to be on this ship of theives, along with a dear family that I am friends with. Have excursions picked out already, or at least the types that look interesting from RCCL and NCL websites, lol.

[MrSanderz]

Count us in too! DH and I will be cruising with DD5 and DD10 and maybe my parents. Would love a category 6 but I'm a bit nervous about what it will cost.

Hey taysmom-what part of the state are you from? My DD will be in 4th grade as well. My only concern is the state testing but I will pay for a proctor to give her make-ups if I have to!

 

[ivanova]

it's only fair that the Aug cruise gets the extra port this time ... in 2005 it was the May cruise that got the extra port

 

[MrsMork]

WE'RE GOING, WE'RE GOING!!! Will be DH (DrHug here on the DIS) and myself! Sailing again with PJ, Lillygator, Kristina and hopefully others!

 

[gydell]

One less port - one more day on the Magic!

 

[tigger137]

Just sent my quote request to Dreams. Here's hoping the costs won't involve a second mortgage!

DH has always wanted to do a Panama Canal crossing, and what better way than on the Disney Magic? Especially as we would celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary on the way.

AuntyBrat - could you maybe amend the thread title to give the May 10th date now it's been confirmed? I nearly started a new one before I realised this was the one.

 

[lillygator]

Yes, as long as we can get a room we're there!!

 

[Piecey]

Same here am hoping DH will be able to join me but iif not, may be looking for a female roomate!!

Me, too! I'm totally wanting to do this but it's looking more and more like I'd be flying solo.

 

[taysmom]

We're from SF bay area mr. sanderz...that would be great to know there is another girl the same age.
I asked my dd if she minded missing that much school and she said, " not for a disney cruise"
I will definately book cat 11 or 12 cause we won't be inside very often and we are planning on doing another riviera one with friends in july!
AND can you all believe the price!...it's quoted $100 more for 8 extra days! I can't believe the deal! I am so very excited.
Have a good evening.
Steph

 

[AuntyBrat]

I am so excited...we are going to end up with my buddy Jeannine and I in a cat 5 or 6, and the girls and her mom & aunt in two cat 11s. Looks like it is going to cost a little more than we thought, but 1 more night and 3 ports we haven't been to before. So we are figuring we are GOING!!!!! And I am so happy that my TA is offering a great bonus like others are doing too!!!

Don't forget to get your passports for everyone in your family!!! Even the kiddies will need them!!! Plan now so you are not paying huge rush fees!!

 

[AuntyBrat]

I am going to start a roll call, so if you could PM me with the following Info:

Disboards Handle(s)
Name(s)
Relationships (DH, DW, DD, DS, etc...)
Ages of kids/teens (you can include your own if you want)
Cat Cabin(s)/Deck(s) (deck only if you feel comfortable)
early/late dining?
Any celebrations?
Location (city/state)

Are you interested in your kids/teens being in a seperate board group that would require registration/password and your approval to join?

Are you a single adult traveler interested in a seperate board group that you could join to see about having activity/dinner buddies?

Again, please PM me, and I will keep an updated listing on the board. I will also work on setting up seperate boards for the others.
