mom x4,grandma x4 Posted September 3, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Magic Drydock Sept 6-24th [iHere is a glimpse at what’s in store: Indulgence and Relaxation Quiet Cove, the serene pool retreat reserved for the enjoyment of adults, will undergo a makeover including upgrades to Cove Café, the pool and the deck area. Cove Café, the ship’s sophisticated coffee lounge, will incorporate a new seating area with plush, comfortable chairs providing the perfect venue to relax while sipping a cup of gourmet coffee. Meanwhile, the adult pool will be outfitted with soothing, cascading waterfalls from the two hot tubs. Teak deck and lounge chairs with plush cushions will line the pool, creating an inviting, stylish ambiance in line with the Vista Spa and Salon. Fun for the Little Ones The Oceaneer Club, a Neverland-themed play space for 3-7 year olds, and the Oceaneer Lab, a whacky and interactive laboratory exclusively for 8-12 year olds, will be enhanced with new registration areas that make the check-in process more efficient and hassle-free. This sets the stage for incorporating Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in the youth activity areas later this year, which will further enhance and streamline the check-in process. The technology uses RFID tags embedded on wristbands, allowing children to simply tap a sensor to check in and out of the clubs. Even the youngest cruisers will have a splashtacular time in “Mickey’s Splash Zone,” a new toddler water playground inspired by Fantasia’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice. This 385-square-foot extension to the Mickey Pool on deck 9 will feature star- and moon-shaped interactive fountains, a soft play surface and whimsical splash zones; creating an inviting environment for children not yet toilet trained and in swim diapers. New Conveniences The guest staterooms onboard the Disney Magic are receiving an infusion of technology with the installation of flat-screen LCD television sets. The new 22-inch units will be mounted on a swivel arm to allow easy viewing from multiple locations within the stateroom.

ducklite Posted September 4, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Sounds great! One thing we like about DCL is that they really do keep the kids out of the adult areas, so love to hear that they are adding even more upscale features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Mick Posted September 5, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 5, 2008 That's sweet. The Magic gets the play zone also. Wasn't there a member recently who was asking about flat-screen TVs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lollipop's Mom Posted September 5, 2008 #5 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Ooooooooooooo nice! I see one of those plush loungers calling me already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Jasmine Posted September 5, 2008 #6 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Sooo glad about the new TVs. My TVs at home looked super huge after the cruise. I wonder if the waterfalls will work more on the Magic than they do on the Wonder. :confused: ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seacats Posted September 8, 2008 #7 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Is she drydocking in Norfolk, VA. A disney ship is just pulling in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozart527 Posted September 8, 2008 #8 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yes, the Magic is drydocking in Norfolk. In addition to the changes listed above, it's known that carpet is being redone throughout the ship, the engines are receiving a much needed overhaul, and the wood planks on Decks 9 & 10 are being replaced.

Muushka Posted September 8, 2008 #9 Share Posted September 8, 2008 it's about time they got rid of those tiny TV's.:p Bill I'm a bit underwhelmed about the 22" size. Celebrity has 32" LCD in their cabins (new ships)! But then again their programming is not worth watching....hmmmmm, I think I'll be glad for the 22" with great programming!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it's in Portsmouth. The shipyard is just called the "Norfolk" naval shipyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GottaLuvCruising Posted September 16, 2008 #22 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I wasn't aware of this year's dry dock dates. We arrived in Port Canaveral Saturday Sept 6th (for our Cocoa Beach timeshare week) and saw the Magic in port as we drove by. The following Saturday, as we were leaving, I thought it odd that she wasn't there. Now I know! Thanks for the info MomX4,GrandmaX4 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One error in the tv report...Magic did not sale at 8:00am today...I saw her leave on the webcam just before 6:30 am. I found that out the hard way. My 2 DSs and myself got up early Sunday and went down to watch it leave. We were all VERY sad to discover it had already left:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
