Amazing!!!!I know it skipped Halifax as it got hit really hard by hurricane Dorian. My poor husband was actually on a hiking trip on the Bay of Fundy during the hurricane, yikes!The Disney Magic sails from NYC this time of year for it's fall cruises to Canada, Bahamas, and Bermuda. I work right by the water in NJ so I can see the NY port from my office. When it sails away on a work day I'm usually there outside as it sails down the Hudson River. I saw it leave early last week on a cruise to Bermuda. It had just completed it's transatlantic, and it actually docked early in NYC as it skipped a Canadian port to avoid the hurricane so i got to stare at it in port for an extra day. So when I saw it sailing away last week on the most perfect late afternoon, I felt pangs of regret for not booking a cruise from New York. I mean the port is right there!! I could be at port in about 20 mins!!
That is incredible.....so, so jealous!!!!!!Then...by the magic of some Disney friends, someone we met on our last NYC cruise in 2017 saw my pictures and contacted me. We had hung out a bit on that cruise and then also at WDW (where he works as an EMT). Him, his wife and son were going on a 5-night cruise from NYC to Bermuda in a few weeks, and asked if we wanted to join them. Because his wife works for DCL she gets huge discounts on a few staterooms, better than regular CM rates. Usually they travel with other family who use the other staterooms, but this time they were not. What! No way! I said, well, how good could this deal be. He told me the price and it was a good price per person but it was still too much money to plunk down for a trip unplanned. Then he said no it is the price for TWO people, including gratuities, and my jaw dropped to the ground. It was less than half the price of our 4-night Disney Dream cruise in May. I checked the dates, and realized I only needed to take 2.5 days off from work as when we dock back at port at 7:30am i could just head straight to work and be there by 9am probably. This could just work! I ran it quickly by Steve but my mind was already made up, LOL. We booked that very day and now I can say we are going on our 5th DCL cruise in 2 weeks! (Oct 17th to be exact!)
Great pic and I love both dresses!And we had to summon the force, of course,
Love this!We made our way over to Toy Story Land where we all got on Slinky Dog! Lesley used her connections so that we could all ride at the same time (including @StarWarsMomofGirls! and her family) even though we did not all have FPs at exactly the same time, most of ours were overlapping though.
