I heard the ventriloquist is Taylor Mason. Is that right? He has puppets named Romeo and Juliet and a bunch of others like a pig and a cornstalk. He was on our 10 day cruise over this past Christmas. He's a real hoot. Be sure to attend his other shows in Rockn'Bar D as well if you get the chance. On his last performance in Rockn'Bar D on our cruise he stayed around for a long time after his set and allowed everyone who wanted to get a picture with him and his puppets. Really a great guy to talk to. Enjoy the show tonight!
I'm eager to hear what you think of the two stops in the Mexican Riveria that are part of the Panama Canal cruise as well as the 7-day west coast cruise. Those being Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan. (The west coast cruise also stops at Puerto Vallarta, but it looks like the Panama Canal cruise is stopping at Acapulco instead) We're heading out to CA the last week of June for the cruise and a long weekend at DL. Let us know what you thought of the shore excursions if you take any and/or what you hear from other shore excursion experiences.
Great report! Today the Magic is on a sea day as she travels to Cuaraco. Lucky ducks onboard. I realllly wish I could be there. Ahh... oh well...
I guess they got rid of the Welcome Aboard Variety Show then, right? Oh yeah, there was supposed to be a new show anyway, about someone who wishes to become Captain.. anyways....
I'm not sure if this is the week, but Twice Charmed- An Original Take on the Cinderella Story may be premiering on this voyage. Also, this may be the last showing of the temporary show The Bumblesquats Family Reunion. It was a bit confusing on our April 16th voyage, but it was pretty interesting. Be sure to get an aisle seat! The description from our April 18 Nagivator says "A Wacky theatrical adventure combining remarkable acrobatic performances and hilarious surprises!"
Uhhh... I'm SO jealous... so, to take my mind off of things, any new pins?

The word is spelled "cay" but it can actually be pronounced EITHER Kay (with a long A sound) or KEY (with a long E sound). Neither is more correct than the other.
You can go to this site and hear both ways to pronounce the word:

I totally agree. My first cruise EVER was on a four-night sailing of the Disney Magic in 2000. The Panama Canal cruise will be my eighth cruise all of which have been on the Magic!

Monday Update Due To Internet Problems On Ship
Monday at Sea
We are into our first full day at sea and there are lots of things to do as usual. The presentation on the Panama Canal was in the movie thearter and was very full , standing room only, so they added a presentation later today, There is a lecturer on board that will give us the history of the canal as we go thru it. I have watched the ones on the History Channel several times and have always been facinated with how this was accomplished almost 100 yrs ago.
We had dinner at Parrot Cay last night and I have to say the new menus are a welcome surprise so far, I have complained that the food onboard was not up to the Disney standards, but feeding about 3,000 people all the time would be tough for anyone. If they could get the seafood from Fulton Seafood at Downtown Disney that would be the best, Their crab legs are better their than in Alaska, been to Alaska last year on a cruise. The meat that was served was never up to what you could get from like a Longhorns, But this seems to be the trend for all cruise lines lately, to get you to upcharge to the better restraunts. Palos is still the best onboard, they only charge 10 bucks I think, so that is not too bad, but last nights meal was really good. After dinner we went to check out the shows, their was a comedian in the night club, he was ok not nearly as the ventriquilist. Went back to the cabin and retired for the night.
This morning we were up a little late, well it is vacation, went to brunch in Parrot Cay and had a great meal. We are looking at shore excursions but lots have already booked up , so we will just take a taxi and can just wing it…They have art auctions now onboard like some of the other cruise lines. There are some unique disney artwork, but mostly just the same artwork you find on other cruise lines. We will be off the coast of Cuba this afternoon, maybe Fidel should loosen up a little and come cruise with us, might let him light up a cigar on the top deck,

Tuesday Update Pin Disaster
Follow Our Adventures Aboard Disney Cruise Lines
Tuesday at Sea,
I am trying to catch up on things here, internet has been down lots of times. Kind of a laid back day again, Had breakfast , well sort of lunch as late as I got up, in Topsiders, nice layout again , say on the back deck, No land in site for sure, we are in the middle of the Caribean Sea, got another 400 or so miles to get to Curacao. Think we will go visit the caves on the island and beach on our own, The name of the ventriquilist is Taylor Mason, he has an adult show tonight in the Rock Bar D, will catch that for sure, I have to say we are getting some nice gifts from Disney lately, When I got back in my room on Saturday night, I have this big basket full of things from the cruise line, don t know if everyone got one or just those who have sailed numerous times. Last night they gave us a book on the Panama Canal. Nice little touch, I will let everyone know what the latest is on the pins and other memobrillia, something has to be worked out on this situation. So see yall later,,,,

Tuesday at Sea Part 2
Lots have happen since I logged on yesterday afternoon. We hung out on the adult pool area for several hours. They had a leg contest by the pool, thought that was a cool contest with all the ladies, they chose me to be a judge, cool,, well they turned the tables on us and we were going to show off our legs, OK I bailed on that one, hard to compete with all the 20 something guys, LOL, still fun to watch, of course everyone won, Sailed past the eastern tip of Cuba, We were off the coast only a few miles looked like. Took some pictures and videos for later, Still cannot send pics from the ship, The internet is down lots of time, they said they were having network problems, but there are only 10 terminals here in the internet cafe and 4 upstairs in the cove. Asked why they do not have wifi here and they said they have not been able to get it done. There are over 2,000 guest onboard and everyone these days uses the internet, thought Disney would have expanded on this. I thought the Magic went under a major referb but I cannot see that much that they have done. Its alway clean around the whole ship but maybe they will get some update down this year while at drydock again.
GOLDEN MICKEY AWARDS ,,, I was on the Wonder back in January with Brian and his family and the Golden Mickey Awards in the thearter was a great show, They have expanded this show to include a preshow live video from the entrance of the thearter near the shops, Its like a pre acadamy awards show, This was the first formal night and mostly everyone was dressed up, They really did a great job with this and continued thru the show. After the late show they had a big party in the atrium with a big ballon drop and confedee, All the characters were there and made quite a spectacular event,
Went to the movie thearter and saw “The Pacificer” with Van Diesel as a baby sitter after being a Navy Seal, cute story.
OK I usually like to be upbeat about things on the ship but one thing is getting way out of control. The Pins that are for sale each day. It has been a mad house getting those each day, There are only 500 available each day,, People are getting quite upset with not getting any after standing in line for hours. Yes Hours, They sent out a letter to all the staterooms that changed the way you get a voucher, well that did not work,,people were sleeping in the hallway in front of where you get the vouchers, like over 300 people. so we will see how the figure this out, My suggestion, give each passenger a voucher for all the pins, you have a chance to pay for them by a certain date and then they will be available for others. Also the T Shirts were gone in like minutes, when the staff brought a handfull into the shop they were mobbed by the passengers, my hats off to the the cast members who are handling that situation. Well I will keep everyone up to day on whats going on with these problems,,

Thank you for letting us know what's going on everyday. Wish I would've been booked for this sailing!! TWO WHOLE WEEKS ON THE MAGIC!!!! You guys are sooo lucky.
They were discussing the pin situation on the Disboards too. Seems like this was not planned out very well. I hope they figure it out soon.
Have a great cruise.
