This was my fourth cruise on the Disney Magic. What could be better than 7 days on the Magic. Eight days of course!

We had a check-in time between 11 am and 11:30 am. It was very organized. We arrived and were handed the day's Navigator before we even got in line. We were directed to the correct line, since there are different lines depending on your Castaway Cay status (How many times you've cruise or if you booked concierge level.) The line moved quickly and we were completely checked in by 11:30. Minnie Mouse was out in a Lady Liberty costume for a photo opportunity. Once our boarding number was called we headed onto the ship and saw Mickey Mouse in an Uncle Sam outfit as he was headed over to relieve Minnie. Once on board, I headed over to Guest Services to get the Alice and Mad Hatter Tea Party tickets for my granddaughter, daughter, friend and me. Then I met up with my family at Parrot Cay for a WONDERFUL buffet. Our luggage was delivered very quickly and everything arrived and I was completely unpacked before the 4 pm lifeboat drill.

The 8-Day NYC sailing had a fourth Broadway type show added. The shows were all wonderful and everyone in my group loved them. From my 2 year old granddaughter to my 93 year old dad! None of the other cruises I have taken have shows that even come close to the ones Disney puts on. Read more
