KLM065 -
Welcome to the DIS Boards and congratulations on one of the loveliest Christmas surprises I have heard of - I know your family will love it. First of all - You have come to the right place for information on everything. I have been a member of the DIS for 4 years now and you won't find a more genuine and caring group of people.
We are also cruising on the Magic over Christmas as are several other DIS'ers!! We have started our own thread so please use this link to join us. We can share planning ideas, best tips and simply get to know each other a bit and share the excitement. We are all strangers to one another except our link through the DIS.

This will be my family's 4th
DCL cruise and I can't tell you what a great time you will have. If you use the link above, you will find other links to two of my favorite websites with additional information (like Navigators -the daily schedules, menus and excursions).
Please feel free to ask any questions as we are all here to help each other and have fun!!
