Panama Canal Disney Magic Cruise – Final Thoughts

Posted on
Monday morning came around much too quickly. One big advantage to the latest dinner seating is that you then have the latest breakfast seating on disembark-day. Breakfast was decent. It was tough to say goodbye to our new friends and servers, Tonie and Marija. When we left Animator’s we got in our first line of … Continue reading "Panama Canal Disney Magic Cruise – Final Thoughts"

Castaway Cay — Disney Magic Panama Canal Cruise

We’ve arrived in paradise! There is no other place like Castaway Cay. A tiny island heaven on earth. The weather was perfect. Everything was perfect. After a quick breakfast, we walked off the ship and headed to the family beach.

Day 13. I’m feeling sad already, but there is still lots to look forward to! The first thing I did today was get out of bed in time to see the sunrise. Of course, my photo does not do it justice.

Aruba!!! From what we’ve seen so far, this is a lovely place. We were up early for our excursion – sailing and snorkeling. The water is the most amazing blue and green.

Day at Sea – Disney Magic Panama Canal Cruise August 2008

Posted on
Another day at sea! Yeah! First thing: sleep in. Check. I decided I’ve spent enough time in seminars and tastings and lectures, etc., etc. So, I cancelled our wine tasting reservation in exchange for time on deck in the sun and in the pool. Well, first I did promise Michael I would tag along with … Continue reading "Day at Sea – Disney Magic Panama Canal Cruise August 2008"

Disney Magic Enters Panama Canal

From Lori We were up early this morning – before 6am. Apparently, it rained overnight, but it is beautiful now. I think we are about 30 minutes behind the published schedule. First round of photos – Boat pulling away from Magic from dropping off Canal Pilot. Many, many, many other ships “parked” outside the canal. … Continue reading "Disney Magic Enters Panama Canal"

Miraflores Locks Part 2 – Disney Magic Panama Canal

Posted on
The technology is amazing. First, we have the technology of the Canal much of which has been in place since the 1930s. And, we have today’s technology. Deb Wills is watching the ship from the webcam on the locks and we are using SKYPE to talk about what’s happening. Way cool. (Deb’s Note: It was … Continue reading "Miraflores Locks Part 2 – Disney Magic Panama Canal"

Miraflores Locks Part 3 Disney Magic Panama Canal

Posted on
Deck 7 aft (our no-longer-secret spot!) – You can see the container ship next to us also heading northbound. So much traffic from Pacific to Atlantic today that they have both lanes working northbound. (I learned at yesterday’s lecture that we actually move from south to north.) Also, there is one little place in Panama … Continue reading "Miraflores Locks Part 3 Disney Magic Panama Canal"
