Day 10 Disney Magic here we come 25th Oct 08
Well after nearly a year waiting for this day we are on our way to Port Canaveral
Even the toll booth as all done up for Halloween
It is starting to rain as we go over the bridge but it's not to long until we see the ship
Myself and Micheal are dropped off with the bags and the other 2 drop the car off
We head straight up to the terminall but can't check in as the other 2 have they ID with them
So we have a good look around , its about 1pm now and the place is quite as most people are on board
We meet the lady herself
Its not long until the other 2 are back, took them about 20 minutes , as I have most of it done on line it doesn't take long until we are checked in and aloud on the ship
We decide to head for lunch first so off we head to Parrots Cay but the line was big so we went to Topsiders instead
Sitting on board and it never felt like we were away
after lunch we headed down to our stateroom Deck 2 room 2518 we are 5 doors down from where we were last year
No bags yet but our Castaway members gift was waiting for us
As it was nearly 3pm we headed up to the Promenade lounge for the Dis meet and to meet up with all the lovely people I was chatting to all year It was fun meeting everyone boys stayed for about 5 minutes
Next it was time to get ready for the mandatory drill
Funny thing Aidan looked out the door to see if any more bags were about and one of his friends from last time was walking past the door
he didn't even know that he was onboard as he didn't hear from him since last time , He was staying a few doors down from us
Myself and DH unpacked and the boys went away exploring the ship
we joined them on deck for the sail away party which was nearly finished by the time we got there , then it was time to sail away
just after 5pm we saw a cruise bus pulling up at the side of the terminal and a family jumping out and next we see them running out of the building and aboard then the gang plank is pulled up and we are away
Stayed up on deck Micheal went swimming in the goofy pool his favourite then it was time to get ready for tonight show which was "All aboard! let the magic Begin" and then headed to dinner to night we were dining at Animators Palate we were on the 8.30pm seating
We met our dining servers Andea and luci They were the best
Made our dinning the best part of the cruise
We were at a table for 8 but the second family which were meant to join us decided not to join us
Boys went off to the clubs after this and we went back to the room as we had not tidy up after unpacking but our wonderful room server had everything all sorted for us wish I could take him home with me
and look what he left for us
our first towel animal and chocales
there was some gifts left in our Fish Extender too
Thanks
After a walk around the deck to easy the dinner down abit
checked out the shops Got lots of scrapbooking stuff and then picked up Micheal it was time for bed
great first day onboard
