Fun Activities For The Whole Family Aboard The Magic/Wonder

SO excited and cannot hardly wait! My husband is self-employed (mobile mechanic) and he says he is having to "flog" himself to get his work done! It is sugarbeet harvest here in Wyoming so he is keeping a bunch of older-than-the-hills trucks running for the farmers for one more year (some of these trucks are 4 trucks taken apart and put together to make one truck!) I got a new digital camcorder and have been practicing up! We have been to Europe before but never for this length of time. Unfortunately, the dollar is so bad it's taking a beating. Travel sites are warning about exchanging your dollars for Euros and no place in Rome will take dollars anymore. It is VERY expensive using taxis or shuttles. The train is fairly cheap but when you have a lot of luggage it is not very convenient (lots of bums and panhandlers too.) Train is safe and fast but not for everyone. I got an email yesterday that there are still unsold rooms on a 12 day coming from Barcelona to Florida and an interior room was 399.00! It was around Thanksgiving but I think you missed the big travel rush dates. Vacationstogo.com always has last minute unsold cruises. Mary

During your stay on the Magic/Wonder you will not only have access to amazing shore excursions and exotic tropical paradise but, fun games and shows for the whole family! One of the most memorable things of my trip was the fantastic shows! Disney offers performances from comedians, and magicians , but also offers musicals such as Disney Dreams, and Twice Charmed. My favorite show however was Hercules which unfortunately, Disney no longer shows.
The family games Disney offers are so much fun! My ten year old sister’s favorite was Bingo (she especially loved the host, Bailey) while my personal favorite was Who Wants To Be A Mousekeeter?. Some other activities you may enjoy are Chip It Golf, A Pirate’s Life For Me, WII Olympics, and Mickey Mania!. If you can, I would DEFINITELY try ALL of the activities.

I presume you are talking about Rich Purpura?

You can see a video clip of him here:

What about Topsiders/Beach Blanket? (depending on if it is the Magic or the Wonder) I know some people who’s favorite place is there.

All kidding aside, if you can be at Topsiders or Beach Blanket as the Wonder or Magic arrive at Castaway Cay, it is a great view of the island and the surrounding water if the weather cooperates. It is usually early in the morning so you won’t have a lot of company.

This is a view of Castaway from Topsiders as the Magic was pulling in, early January 2008, it was a lovely day:

Meeting Princess Belle is certainly a neat addition to the trip. Did you enjoy Bingo too? What about exploring the ports? Looking for souvenirs?

I LOVED looking for souvenirs, especially in Nassau. Exploring the ports was fun too! Especially in foregein countries such as Mexico, Grand Cayman, The Bahamas, ect. I have to say Key West was a lot of fun too. I liked BINGO on the Magic better than bingo on the Wonder though. everything was so much fun! (except Kids Camp)

Parasailing was good on Castaway Cay.

I wanted to do the submarine in Cozumel but the weather did not cooperate for any of the water based activities that day. Next summer, hopefully it will cooperate better!

I believe that the Mayan Temples in Cozumel would be fun too explore!

We’ve done the stingray feeding/swimming at Castaway Cay and that was quite fun. We’ve done the glass bottom boat and that is good, particularly if it is cold or someone in your party doesn’t want to snorkel. Snorkeling on Castaway is fun also. There are some others that we have done, but I’ll have to write more later.

What about you?
