On Board the Magic



It's Here! The Disney Magic is docked in Barcelona and waiting for it's passengers to board. Transfer by taxi from our hotel went smoothly, but be sure to have your passport handy because you will need to let the taxi driver show it at the port entry booth. We arrived about 12:15 PM, gave our luggage to the porter, went into the terminal to check in, had our picture taken with Mickey and were on board by 1:00 PM. We went and grabbed a bite to eat at Topsider's as the staterooms were not available until 1:30PM. Our room was decorated by Disney in recognition of our Anniversary, but we added some additional decor to keep us in a festive mood the entire cruise. Pictures to be added later.

After unpacking and getting settled in we went and met our fellow Dis-boarders in the Promenade lounge. It was a chance to put faces to the nick-names we had become so familiar with and exchange our little Dis-gifts we had brought for each other. We had our special dinner at Palo's tonight and we were not disappointed. After dinner we went to the 1st evenings show in the Walt Disney Theater, called All Aboard and then later, went up top to the Sail-Away Party. The picture is of Gary's Cappacino Cheesecake dessert at Palo's.

Thursday, was a full day at sea. Beautiful sunny, warm breezes caressed us as we spent some time outside, but we had a number of events inside that we took advantage of, spa treatments, port lectures, and DVC gatherings and before we knew it, it was time for dinner and the evening show called the Golden Mickey's. Great performance, even seeing it the second time around, not to be missed.

Friday, we will be in Palermo and our excursion takes us to Erice and Segesta. More later.
