Welcome Angie! I'm looking forward to getting to know you too!

Well...we're considering moving the wedding up and getting married while we're on the Magic in Nov 06...which means this trip may change from a belated honeymoon to a 1st anniversary cruise....I'll keep you posted! :goodvibes

[Melora]

Howdy all

Just got home today from our Western Magic cruise and we rebooked on board for this cruise in a Cat 2 cabin #8016, I think. (We got a great price...same price we paid for this past cruise's 2 cabins .. cat 4 and cat 10)

We are SOOOOO excited because we really need the extra space for our family.

Traveling will be myself (ACK! 42 by then), hubby, and 4 of our kids..... (then) 18, 12, 8 and 6.


WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Welcome 'aboard', Melora!!! How exciting on the Cat #2!!! We had friends in a Cat #3 on our last cruise and got to tour the stateroom and it was so beautiful! I'm sure yours will be just gorgeous as well!!! Congrats on the great rate! :smooth:

WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

How was the weather on your trip? We just got back yesterday from a four night on RCCL and because of the high winds, the boat rocked and rocked. We were unable to make a stop at their private island. Were you able to stop at Castaway Cay?

I really hope that the weather will not be bad for this cruise. :confused3

[Melora]

The weather was very good for most of the trip. It did rain one evening but only briefly. The seas were very rocky but the Disney boat has these enormous underwater stabilizers that it deploys and we didnt feel a whole lot.

We did stop at Castaway Cay and I would have to say that was the best part of pur trip.

[MommyTo5]

Melora,

My DD who will be 17 at the time of the cruise is wondering if your oldest (will be 18-yr-old) is a boy or a girl? She met some great friends on our DCL cruise last year. Many of my Internet friends from another board had teens her age and I think that's what made the cruise for her! ;)

Welcom Melora! Glad you could join us!
If you would like to share whether your kids are boys and/or girls I can update the first post.



Hope everyone had a great Easter. It was originally supposed to rain here but Mother Nature decided to hold off until about 10 minutes ago so we had a beautiful day!

Please let me know when you are ready to start chatting and we can pick our day and time!

[Melora]

Ooopppps! Double post when I tried to edit!

[Melora]

My daughter is 17 now and will be 18 on this cruise. She met so many people on our cruise last week and says she misses them already.

She wont have the same freedom next cruise because she will be staying with us in the Cat 2. She had her own Cat 10 cabin last time so she got to invite her firends in for late night room service etc. She is a great kid who we trust so I didnt have a problem with her doing that. Our 2007 cruise she will have to visit friends outside the cabin and come in VERY quietly when she goes to bed. As we are on the West Coast its hard for her to go to bed early while on East Coast time.

The younger kids are a boy, Alex (will be 12 then), then theres Katherine who we adopted from Russia last year and she will be 8 and Jeffrey Jr will be turning 7 the month we cruise.

[MommyTo5]

I really hope that the weather will not be bad for this cruise. :confused3

I really hope we have perfect weather :sunny: and smooth sailing pirate:!!! On our Western last year, we missed both Grand Cayman and Castaway Cay. It really wasn't that the weather was so bad as I can only remember clouds the 1st two days but the seas were very rough during most of the cruise. If we miss Castaway Cay again, I doubt DH will ever agree to cruise Disney again. :sad2:

It's been quiet so I thought I'd bump us up....

Hope everyone is doing good!

[MommyTo5]

We've been so busy these last few weeks with the school year getting ready to end. I hope I can be more chatty with everyone here soon! I'd love to get to know you all better!!! ;)

We made a payment on our cruise today and I hope to make another large payment on either 6/9 or 6/16! I would love to get this paid off early... doubt it will happen but I'm going to try!

We'll have the $$ for our cruise in Sept, is there any benefit to paying early???

We booked through DU and I think we got a good price. Since it's our first I don't really know :confused:

I priced the Cat 2, but it would have been twice as much as the two Cat 9's and we just can't afford that :earboy2:

Elizabeth,
Sometimes your TA may run a "free gift" early payoff promo but I don't know specifically about DU. Otherwise, other than peace of mind, there's not really any advantage to paying off ahead of schedule. I would bet that you got a really good price since you booked so early. I'm going to compare prices when we're onboard this November just to see if I'd be able to negotiate any "extras" versus my current ressie....send some pixie dust my way for that....

I'm going to try and pay ours off early simply because I can't count on next year's income tax to handle it. With us getting married in November I lose all those special things for being "head of household" with the two girls....I think we're going to take a big hit!

Has anyone thought about picking a chat night yet or are we all busy with our various duties? How about we shoot for after school lets out when hopefully we'll have a little more free time? Of course, I'm up for chatting anytime...maybe we'll have have DISers come onboard the thread once we are closer to the 1 year mark....

[CJLKIM]

Wow guys, we're still pretty quiet :confused3! Hope it picks up before next year!!!

Of course, I'm busy here with plans for this year...and now helping future DIL with her wedding plans for July. Went on a 2-day field trip with the entire 4th grade...let's just say....WOW! Summer is almost here so that'll take a load off.

Hope everyone is going well! Talk to you soon!

[Heatmont]

hi mom (CJLKIM), i found your thread for next year!!! you bite for going without us! but i guess you and Jeff deserve it!

i'm up really late and you're sleeping so you don't know it...at least not yet!

i love you very much and i hope you and Jeff will have a great cruise. i can't wait until we go this fall and i can't wait for the wedding at Castaway Cay.

We just returned from our first trip to WDW and now are so excited for the cruise. We loved WDW!!! The weather was not as bad as we thought it would be . The crowds also were not as bad as we expected. It was any extra bonus to find out when we got home that the weather at home had been extremely hot.

I hope that everyone is having a nice summer.

Hi all! Took a little while to find you but I did! :banana:

This will be our 4th DCL cruise. The last one was April 05, western. We would have gone again sooner but we wanted to wait for DD to be old enough for the clubs this time. This will be our first Eastern on the DCL.

We're Cat 6 and it's me (just turning 38 at time of cruise....yikes! I didn't realize that until now!!) DH will be almost 40, DS will be 8 and DD will be 3 1/2. We're also travelling with my parents and my sister, her DH and their DS who will be almost 2.

I'm looking forward to getting to know other DIS'ers. We've met alot of nice people on previous cruises through these cruise meet boards. :goodvibes

Welcome Stimpy and crew! Looking forward to getting to know you. This cruise with be our third. He and I cruised Dec 05 on a Western and we are taking the kids and getting married on the Western "Double Dip" this November. The Nov 07 cruise will be our 1st anniversary.

I have a great group of DISers for this year's cruise and I'm hoping to put their fantastic ideas to use for the 2007 cruise as well....

[Stimpy]

Thanks for the welcome! Congrats on the upcoming wedding!!! What a great idea to get married on the Magic. (or are you doing it on CC?) We celebrated our 10th anniversary on the Western in April 05. (and DD's first birthday too!) It was really nice!

We originally planned on CC but decided to do it onboard so that Friday will be a total relax day for us all. It'll be on Thursday (semi-formal / Lobster night) so we'll go from the ceremony and cake/champagne reception right to dinner. I can't wait.....

So with the newest regulations, what is everyone doing about passports? Dh & I have them already but I need to get them for the 2 kids. If I don't really need them for this cruise, I'd rather not get them yet. On the other hand, they are good to have anyway.

Plus not having to get them yet would help DSis & her family who are really budgeting big time for the cruise already.

Jeff and I got ours last year but we may be taking the kids on this one. We talked about getting the passports but since they pushed off the requirement until 2008 I think we may hold off.

[woody73]

We have our passports, so it is not an issue for us.

For those who don't have passports, I would not get them just for this cruise, since they will not be required.

Tell me, do you get vaccinated for hepatite? Since we are going into islands we don't really know what could happend in the water? :confused3

I didn't get any vaccinations last year and didn't get any for this year....so most likely next year will be a no unless something happens this year to change my mind....

We just booked!!!! myself, DH, DD (8 at time of cruise). This will be our second Disney Cruise. We haven't told our daughter yet, but as we get closer she would love to email some of the other kids that will be on the cruise so she can make some friends before she goes into the clubs. She did that last time and it really worked out. Can't wait until next year :banana: :banana: !

Hey guys! Sorry to report that there has been a change of plans and we've moved our resv. from the Nov. trip to December.

I'm not sure how to allow someone else to take over the thread...maybe Woody can copy everyone's names over to a post and then I can note on Post #1 to "see X post for list of cruisers". I'll keep in touch and would love to hear all your reports!

Sorry Woody....it was great meeting you!!!!!

Kris: It was a pleasure meeting you last week on the Magic. You truly will be missed on the 11/10/07 sailing, but I'm sure you will have a blast on the Dec. '07 cruise.

Hope to see you again on a future cruise!

[TiggerzFan]

Make room for us! :wave:

And an extra big Hello to my fellow cruisers from last week's 11/11 - 11/18 cruise. Not sure if we'll actually stick with this date as we usually do the parks for a few days post-cruise and this week's Thanksgiving crowd was overwhelming! But, for now, we're onboard - Cat 6 on Deck 6.

I'm not even unpacked from this week's cruise so I can't bring myself to start the countdown yet for next year!

Happy Thanksgiving DISers!

Lauri how was the weather on your cruise???


We had great weather, except for our second sea day, when it rained a little overnight and in the morning. We had trouble docking our second Castaway Cay day due to the winds, but we made it, and it turned out to be a very nice day.

Hi Donna! Hope we'll see you aboard next year.

[woody73]

Welcome spoohs, Lauri, and TiggerzFan!

Donna: Have you considered visiting WDW before the cruise. We did that before the 11/11/06 Double Dip, and had a fantastic time at Epcot and Animal Kingdom with some fellow DIS cruisers before sailing.

OH thanks woody. Our cruise was a blast and i cant wait for the next one. :cool1:

[flymv]

We have moved our cruise dates to join the 11.10.07 eastern cruisers. I'm sure we will get to know each other much better over the next 11 months.

[woody73]

Welcome flymv! Nice to cruise with you again!

welcome flymv :wave2:

We were on the 11-11-06 DD cruise and will be back for the 11-10-07 Eastern. We can't wait!!!!!

We have a DD 12 (now) who would love to email with any other kids around her age who will be on the cruise. We also have DSs who are 8 and 9 (now).

Count us in! Mysel37fpirate: , DW37princess: , and DD 4princess: ...our 6th Dis Cruise, Gracie's 2nd!
We rebooked on our Oct Double Dip...which seems to be the routine we are developing! We are in a Cat 5 somehwhere on deck 5 I think.....

Looking forward to it...we actually have begun creating a library on itunes of favorite songs from our cruise....my daughter loves hearing the songs, especially the Hey Baby song that she danced with Minnie to on CC!

[Stimpy]

Welcome aboard jjgarv!

[woody73]

Glad to have you with us, jjgarv. Another DD cruiser!

Woody

[Stimpy]

Anyone starting to think about excursions and stuff? With the stinky weather lately, I've been dreaming of those Caribbean Islands! LOL

I already have a long wish list of spa treatments for the cruise. (Darn disneycruise.com makes it too easy to make that "wishlist!" )

[Lauri]

Chronic planner here. I'm thinking about excursions, but don't know what I'll be doing yet. (If I approach it with my family yet, they'll have me committed:rotfl2: .) We've done two modified Westerns, so I'm not really familiar with the Eastern ports.

Lauri

[Stimpy]

:lmao: I started looking into the excursions as well! I keep sending emails to the rest of the family with links for some non-DCL ones. They are sending me back some not so nice responses about being too early! Glad to know it's not just me! :rotfl:

So what are you looking at now? :rolleyes1 I'm leaning towards 2 different ones for our whole group. Since we all are generally not sit around on the beach-types, I love the pirate ship/snorkelling/small hike things.

We live 5 minutes from the beach and DSis's in-laws own a house in Rehobeth Beach they go to all summer, so we're really not into going to beaches the whole vacation....although the beaches of Long Island/Delaware are quite different from the Carribean! So we save our "beach day" for CC.

[Lauri]

We're in the same boat (and on the same boat:rotfl: ). We love Castaway Cay, and that will be our beach day. On cruise critic, I saw a zip line excursion that looked great on St. Martin, but it looks like it must be booked through the cruise line, and Disney doen't offer it. We may do the under two flags tour there. I just got a whole stack of books out of the library; plan to do some reading this weekend.

Where on the island are you? I'm a displaced south shore girl myself.

Lauri

[Stimpy]

Where from? We're in Blue Point now and like it. (Except when the dern tax bills come! :scared: )

Did you try http://shoretrips.com/ for the zip line? My DD is still too young for that so I didn't look too closely but I thought I saw some mention of it there.

Books sound like a really good diversion now :rotfl: And since our library is so tiny and I can never find what I need....I'm off to order the latest Passporter from Amazon! (The 1 I have is 3-4 yrs old but I'm sure there has to be something new to make it worth the money :banana: )

[jjgarv]

need to bump us up! Found out our facts...we will be in 6634, one of the Secret Veranda rooms! Two for Two on hitting these!

[Stimpy]

Congrats! Did you request them when you booked or did you just luck out and get one assigned?

[jjgarv]

Actually we requested it when we rebooked on our last cruise....it will be the second time we have been able to do so....we were in 6134 for our Western 2 years ago....what a bargain!:woohoo:

[niccic]

jjgarv - congrats.

Ok i'm still confused about the dining rotation. I have second seating what will my rotation be? what night will be pirate night? formal? semi-formal night? We never did Palo on our first cruise but since my in -laws are coming and they love that kind of thing i want to book it. Any help would be good.

[woody73]

You will get your dining rotation when you check in. I recall that formal night is on the first day at sea, and semi-formal night is Thursday (the day at sea before Castaway Cay).

Woody

[Stimpy]

Pirate Night is on Tuesday ( I think St Maarten day?)

Also, you can guess what your dining rotation would be by who you are travelling with. I know there is a chart out there somewhere that can give you an idea of what it might be. There are no guarantees but they try to keep to the same rotations. For example, people with young kids genereally get 1 rotation while people with older kids get a different one and adults alone get the other one. I'll try to see if I can find where the chart is an post back. :)

We've travelled with young kids the last few cruises and have had LAP (Lumieres, Animators Palate, Parrot Cay, back to Lumieres etc) as our rotation, I think.

[Stimpy]

Ok replying to myself now :rotfl:

It seems we were in the group that does not follow the typical chart LOL So I guess that proves that the general rotation schedule is not set in stone :rotfl:

According to the 2 places I found the rotation (Passporter Guide 2007 & Deb's site), LAP is usually the adult one

APL is young children
PLA is older kids
LAP is adults

[leslielightfoot]

Names: Leslie (35), DH Shaune (33), DS Keaton (6), DD Chloe (will be 4 by the time we go)
Stateroom: we just booked a cat 11 inside stateroom. we actually were booked on a princess cruise (same itinerary) but found if we traded our balcony room for a disney interior, it was almost the same price. so we went for it b/c of the young age of our kids.
When you know pre/post-trip vacation plans: at this time, we are planning just to come in the night before and then return home same day as disembarkation. wish we could do a 4 day at disney but no-can-do this year :)

[woody73]

Welcome aboard, Leslie.

Woody

[Stimpy]

Welcome Leslie & family!

add to our total:FIL and MIL.....BIL & SIL with DB 7 and DG 4....we are all on starboard side of deck 6. DD is thrilled her cousins are coming...and so are we..maybe now she will hit the kids clubs!

Hi gang! Only 262 days to go before we all meet on the magic!:banana:

Tell me, how will we be able to recognize each other???

Is there a ribbon or something else that will that me that you're a dis-friend???

[woody73]

. . . Tell me, how will we be able to recognize each other??? . . .
Different cruises do it differently. The "official" DIS color is lime green. I've seen lime green lanyards, t-shirts, pinback buttons, name tags, luggage tags, stickers, wristbands, boas, and leis to name a few.

It all depends on what people want -- or are willing -- to do. Any volunteers?

Woody

[Stimpy]

One time we had someone make up t-shirts for everyone that came out really nice! But I am not talented in that area at all ;)

Another time we picked a really out of the way place to meet but that dind't work to well since some people couldn't find it.

[Lauri]

Just wanted to stop by and say Hi. We were on the November double dip with Woody and others and we got lime green wristbands. It was a great way to pick people out, yet subtle enough to wear with my formal gown:rotfl: .

Lauri

[woody73]

[MommyTo5]

So sorry but we will not be able to join you on this cruise after all... we've changed to the November 15, 2008 (Western) as this is my husband's 40th birthday! :thumbsup2 We also thought this cruise might be a better overall fit for us as it will most likely be our last family vacation together as our oldest will be a high school senior and off to college the following Fall.

Anyway, enjoy your cruise! Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you in the future! :)

[woody73]

We will miss you. Have fun cruising in 11/08!

Woody

[oceangirl]

Hi everyone. My family is also planning to cruise on the 10 November Eastern Magic. There's me princess: , DH pirate: , DS 15:cool2: , and DS 13:yay: . Although we've been to WDW many times, this will be our first time on DCL and our first cruise ever. I've learned so much from the DIS boards already and look forward to picking up more tips as the date gets closer. My family, especially DS-15, think I'm obsessed and a bit crazy to be planning so early, but I've found with Disney, the more you know what to expect, the more you can relax and enjoy yourself once you're there. Can't wait for November!!

[woody73]

Welcome aboard!

Woody

[flymv]

Some of us are Disney cruise veterans and some are very seasoned veterans so if you have any questions, just ask. Welcome

[oceangirl]

Thanks, I will do that. flymv: I see you have a 14-year old son. Will he be 14 on the November cruise? Sounds like he's the right age for "hanging out" with my guys....!

[Lauri]

Hi Oceangirl, and welcome. I will also have a 13 y/o DS on the cruise. He's been on two previous cruises, but he's a little nervous about being in the teen club this year.

Lauri

[oceangirl]

Hi Lauri,

That's great. My 13 y/o is also not so sure about the teen club and will be happy to know there's at least one other boy his age to hang out with. Maybe before the cruise, we can get them "acquainted" or share names or something, so they can meet up on the ship and feel that they already know at least one other person who will be at the teen club. Hopefully, they'll both feel more comfortable that way. I'm hoping they will be able to use Ocean Quest (10-14 year olds) a fair amount as that sounds like a lot of fun.

Susan.

[flymv]

Thanks, I will do that. flymv: I see you have a 14-year old son. Will he be 14 on the November cruise? Sounds like he's the right age for "hanging out" with my guys....!

Both of my boys will be on the cruise, they will be 9 & 15 at cruise time...

[oceangirl]

Sounds like we'll have at least a few boys in the same age groups which is definitely a plus, particularly for those of us "newbies" whose kids are a bit unsure of what to expect. No guarantee that they will bond or want to hang out together, but one can always hope......!

On another topic, does anyone else find it hard to locate this thread most of the time? It keeps slipping into the back pages, but I guess there's not much we can do about it other than to keep posting periodically. TTFN!

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Well, maybe we should keep it alive until we cruise:goodvibes

What excursions will you make???

We want to do the St-John's island tour and the Orient Bay Beach in St-Martin:hippie:

[oceangirl]

We want to do a tour of St. Martin with Joyce Prince and end with a few hours at a beach (preferrably not topless, though I understand that's hard to avoid even on the Dutch side now). Then on St. Thomas, we're planning a daysail to St. John to snorkel with Captain Bobby & Karen on the Rumbaba. I've been doing lots of research on these boards!! What is everyone else planning, or thinking about doing?

[leslielightfoot]

is there any families on the nov 10-17 cruise with children similar ages to mine?
dd chloe will be 4 yrs old and
ds keaton will be 6 (almost 7)

this is our first cruise. i'm hoping they will like the kids club so we can have SOME time for us :)
we are doing 3 days at WDW too. I am hoping for some downtime with dh :)

What is everyone else planning, or thinking about doing?

we are definetly doing a ferry or boat to st john and to trunk bay. our friends vacation in st john every year and highly recommended we skip st thomas and head to st john. it is more our style. plus with young kids we won't be shopping, etc and they (the kids) will be happiest on the beach. keaton MAY be old enough to snorkel (at 6 yrs old) but chloe will not be so i'm not sure how we'll swing the snorkeling thing since one of us (dh or i) will need to be on shore with her. (she will be 4)

st maarten, i have no idea what to do. not shopping. i think we may rent a jeep and tour the island on our own and stop at orient beach or another nice beach.
any beach recommends? i don't care whether it is a nude beach or not.

[jjgarv]

HI Leslie.....We will have along with us DD Gracie who will be 4.5, DNiece who will be 4 and D Nephew who will be 8. This will be our 6th DCl cruise, Gracie's and my nephew's second, and my niece's first! You will love it...and so will your kids!
We too are hoping they will hit the kids clubs...Gracie did not want to have anything to do with them, and quite frankly we had tons of fun with her. But we are hoping since her cousin...and best friend...will be with her, they mgiht spend some time in there!

how fun.
we were wishing we had friend or family going on the cruise with us for social reasons. our kids are very social so i'm not tooooooooooo worried. but my dd (4) is sorta unpredictable so i guess we will just wait and see.
what excursions are you looking into doing with young kids. i see alot of the disney ones are for 8 and up. i definetly want to do the sting ray one on CC with my son. My dd Chloe will be too young and not allowed to participate.

[Skye00]

This will be our first trip to Florida and on a Disney Cruise. I am a 28 year old mother of a daughter (will be 5 at time of cruising) and a son (will just turn 3 at time of cruise). We are excited to experience the DCL after hearing so many great things. We will be spending the week prior at the Wilderness Lodge in WDW and visiting all the parks. We look forward to seeing you all onboard!

Oy!!! Has anyone noticed that the price of most cabins jumped about $700 overnight (we are 2 adults, a teen, and a child). Last night must have been popular for booking this cruise, as the cabins that have been showing available in our category (9) are now all gone. Lots of people want to join us for the fun!

Welcome Skye00!

I think we're in too!

We had to bail on our 11 Med due to business issues and we're coping by doing this one and a week at WDW afterwards.

It'll be Ted - 50, Karen 46 and Alexandra 12 ( going on 21 :eek: ).

Any other teens or tweeners on board?

[Lauri]

Welcome been2marceline! I've got a teen (DS13) and a tween (DD10). There are several others too. My DD will be in the 10-12yo lab group with yours.

Is it November yet?! :hourglass We are looking forward to a fabulous time on our first (and hopefully not last) DC. :cheer2: We are travelling with friends, but in our family of six:
Me - 39, DH - 38. DD - 8 DD - 3, DS - 3, DS - 3 (yes we have triplets!) :dance3:

We decided not to stay for WDW this time as we have APs to Disneyland here and have visited WDW a few years ago. We haven't had a "real vacation" since before the triplets, so we're REALLY looking forward to this trip! I'm hoping there's more DD's around my daughter's age so she can meet some girl friends before we sail!

Looking forward to getting to know you all better! And hope we can keep this board hoppin!

[oceangirl]

Welcome to the board from a fellow first-time cruiser! I have boys and they are older, but I'm sure you'll find plenty of fellow cruisers with children close in age to your own. And triplets - oh my....I imagine you are really in need of a vacation!! :rotfl: I agree November seems so far away.....but I bet it will be here before we know it! :woohoo:

Hi Woody!!

DH posted our "joining the November 10th Eastbound" post. I usually do most of the posting on the WB PCR Cruise!

Can't wait!

Karen, wife of been2marceline

[3lilpigsnprincess]

Thanks for the warm welcomes! Okay...so I'm getting addicted to these boards! So much great information. When my 2 1/2 year old triplets see me at the computer, they look for the picture of the boat and yell, "I wanna go Mickey Boat mommy!". :dance3:

So where are people staying if coming in early? We are trying to decide whether to stay at the Radisson or Country Inn and Suites. Is anyone just doing the cruise and not WDW?

We're on Spring Break this week and I'm shopping already for summer clothes and other items for the cruise! :hippie: Its always hard to find swimsuits, sunglasses :cool2: and water shoes in the Fall! Any other "can't live without items" to pack for those of you who have cruised before?

[Lauri]

Hi Everyone!

We just came back from our spring break trip--visiting grandma and grandpa in Arizona with a quick trip to Las Vegas for DH and me. Now, I have nothing to plan for, except our cruise!

Anyone have ideas for their excursions yet? I approched it with my family at dinner last night, and they don't want to think about it yet. They're not the planners that I am.

So I knew I could come here and share my obsessive planning with you. We've only been on Westerns, or variations of Westerns, so I'm not sure what to do on the Eastern.

Lauri

3lilpigsnprincess--We're staying at the Doubleetree the night before on points. I wish we could add some days at the World too, but the schools just won't allow it.

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Is anyone just doing the cruise and not WDW?


We're on Spring Break this week and I'm shopping already for summer clothes and other items for the cruise! :hippie:


As sad as it is, we are not going to WDW this year, or not even next year:sad1:

Don't worry, we are doing our first family cruise in August 2008 and I'm already buying the twins some dresses!!!:rotfl:

[woody73]

. . . Any other "can't live without items" to pack for those of you who have cruised before?
Two items that come in handy are:

1. Mesh pop up laundry bag, and
2. Hanging shoe organizer (the kind with pockets).

We use a shoe organizer in the bathroom to organize toiletries. Families with kids also use one to organize toys.

We got both items at the dollar store.

Woody

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Tell me, how do you bring your men suit on the ship and the lady's long dress??

Do you have a special suitcase or just in the protective cover you have when you buy it????:confused3

[Lauri]

Tell me, how do you bring your men suit on the ship and the lady's long dress??

Do you have a special suitcase or just in the protective cover you have when you buy it????:confused3

We use a garment bag. Our first cruise, we used two garment bags. Last cruise, we had it doen to one. We really try to limit what we take.

Lauri

[Stimpy]

We also use a garment bag for the more formal stuff.

We'll be staying at the Country Inn & Suites the night before, first time for us there.

So far we're staying at the BCV the night we depart but I'm not sure now. I forgot that's the start of Thanksgiving week at WDW so I don't know if we're going to do it or not. (we don't do well in big crowds LOL) I might look into Vero Beach but I'm not sure if by the point we might have enough of the water and beaches.

Excursion-wise, we're looking into 2 non-DCL ones. DCL doesn't seem to have too much that we are interested in that will also include our youngest child (DD-3 next week!) and my nephew (almost 2 at cruise time). If we do private excursion, they can come along too. Plus, we aren't really beach vacation types. We like to do things and see things rather than staying on the beach...not that there is anything at all wrong with that! Our beach day will be CC.

My sister and I are already shopping for the kids clothes too! :rotfl: I think my nephew already has a complete wardrobe just for the cruise, including his Pirate outfit already. :woohoo:

[woody73]

. . . I think my nephew already has a complete wardrobe just for the cruise, including his Pirate outfit already.

We have now entere Phase 1 of Planning:
1. Looking for cheap flights:sad2:
2. Letting college roomie who lives in Orlando know when we will be coming for an overnight visit (Friday night before the cruise):confused3
3. Talking about excursions....We did Orient Bay in St Maarten and snorkeling in St Thomas last Eastern.....things are a little different with our DD4 now....we will probably do Orient Bay again..:grouphug:
4. The slow process of convincing/brain programming our daughter that she will want to be in kids club when we go to CC so we can go to Serenity Bay!:rolleyes1
Cant wait!

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Oh! Boy! I'm exactly like you!!!!:lmao:

I Cant Wait anymore!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish we would be in November:sad1:

Yesterday I asked myself: "is it to soon to start packing?????":rotfl:

Am doing lists of things I don't want to forget.....

I wish I could go to sleep until November 9th!!!!!:lmao:

[Lauri]

You know it's getting closer when you start having cruise dreams. The first was two nights ago. We forgot all of our formalwear, and they would let us eat in the dining rooms. Also, instead of boarding into the deck 3 atrium and announcing our family's name, we had to enter through the basement (on a ship?). I also could not get to Rockin D Bar to change Palo reservations.

I guess it just means that it's time to start planning!

Lauri

[spoohs]

Is it November yet?! :hourglass We are looking forward to a fabulous time on our first (and hopefully not last) DC. :cheer2: We are travelling with friends, but in our family of six:
Me - 39, DH - 38. DD - 8 DD - 3, DS - 3, DS - 3 (yes we have triplets!) :dance3:

We decided not to stay for WDW this time as we have APs to Disneyland here and have visited WDW a few years ago. We haven't had a "real vacation" since before the triplets, so we're REALLY looking forward to this trip! I'm hoping there's more DD's around my daughter's age so she can meet some girl friends before we sail!

Looking forward to getting to know you all better! And hope we can keep this board hoppin!
Welcome,

My DD is also 8 and would love to get to know your daughter before the cruise. This will be our 2nd cruise and she is looking foward to having a friend to visit the lab with.

[3lilpigsnprincess]

Oh i hear ya about "talking up the kid clubs"!

The other thing I'm into these days is BRIBING :rolleyes: my kids to be potty trained! I am NOT going to pay for the three of them to be in Flouders and they WILL :scared: be potty trained by their 3rd birthday in October so we can enjoy the cruise and they can swim in the pools!

M & Ms work for one of my guys who LOVES candy. My dd on the other hand is so stubborn...she will not even SIT on that potty seat. So now i'm telling her I'll take her all by herself to Disneyland to see the Princesses and the Princess castle. That actually worked tonight. So keep your fingers crossed for me that all goes well in that department.

My girlfriend whose family we are cruising with and I are going shopping tomorrow (much to our husband's dismay) for cruise things! Bathing suits and comfortable summer wear is on the list. And a trip to the Disneystore for some fun summer wear.

My 8 year old is thrilled to email your daughter "spoohs" so we will be in touch!

And thanks everyone for the info. on hotels! I think we will try the Country Side Inn and do the shuttle from there.

Let me know if anyone finds cheap flights! They are quite costly at the moment flying from Southern CA ($440 round trip x 6)! Didn't factor that in on the cost of the trip! :scared1:

Oh fun...cruise dreams (or nightmares) --- something to look forward to other than work nightmares! :woohoo:

[flymv]

Let me know if anyone finds cheap flights! They are quite costly at the moment flying from Southern CA ($440 round trip x 6)! Didn't factor that in on the cost of the trip!

You will see that all the flights will get much cheaper when the "low-cost" carriers open up those dates, so wait a little longer.

Welcome to the group! if you are interested, my 8 year old daughter just started emailing another 8 yr. old who is going. If amanda wants to make a couple friends (via email) before going on the cruise let me know!

[3lilpigsnprincess]

thanks for the tip! I was thinking that the price might go down. So around what month do you think I should be looking for prices to get cheaper? I know theres a fare sale that went on for summer fares in the last several weeks...but those are only good through August or so? Even with our frequent flier miles, we didn't have many good options of when to fly for the lowest fare, so those aren't helping us as much as we thought :confused: .

[Stimpy]

Don't forget, coming home is the weekend before Thanksgiving so prices on the return flights may not go down as much as other weeks. We forgot to factor that in when planning our "budget"....yep at one time we tried to "budget" :lmao: We have to wait for Southwest to release their dates first before we can book airfare.

Trisha, my DD just turned 3 on Saturday and we have been trying for months to get her potty trained. Tried everything, bribes, reward charts, you name it. We waited to plan this cruise just so she would be able to go to the clubs. When we went 2 years ago, she just turned 1 and we really wish we could have arranged it so we could have some alone time....well we did but it was alone as in 1 parent had alone time & 1 parent had DD. Not quite what we had in mind :rotfl: Anyway, DS (now 7) was trained by his first cruise so we are keeping our fingers crossed that she will be for this cruise. Nothing like a cruise to put more pressure on potty-training LOL Good luck doing it with all 3! :goodvibes

We couldn't get our son out of the clubs! We had to bribe him to have dinner with us every night on his last 2 cruises. :rolleyes:

So, has any one checked to see if they were upgraded yet? :lmao: I check about once every 2-3 weeks but more for my DSis...she's in a Cat 11. I'm kind of hoping since it's her family's first cruise they'll get hit with a tiny bit of DCL magic. We picked our stateroom (Cat 6) & are attached to my parent's reservation/stateroom which is right next to us so I really doubt either of us will get an upgrade.

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Tell me, we are new to cruising, if we booked an Inside 12 Garanted, how can we know if we'll get an upgrade???

Only by checking on DCL website with our cruise infos???

Thanks!;)

Can't wait for November 10th to come!!!:rolleyes1

Some of the low cost fares should comeout within 30 days or so and the others will follow shortly after that, because of the holidays this will lead to the major airlines to drop the fares for a short time, so keep an eye on it if you want to fly on one of the majors or book on the "low-cost" when they comeout. Frequent flier times are not the best times but they are the best price.

Welcome to the boards. This is our 2nd Disney Cruise. My DD (8) is also Amanda. She has been emailing 3lilpigsnprincess's daughter so they can get to know each other before the cruise. Would your daughter be interested emailing also?

[zack&alexmom]

I just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone. We just changed from 12/8/07 to this date. I got the new school calendar and found out the kids would actually miss less time and we could spend a week at my Mom's in Venice, FL after the cruise. It will be Me(39), DH(41), DS(10) and DD(8) at the time of the cruise. This will be our 3rd Disney Cruise and I can't wait! I am also waiting for Jet Blue to open up November so I can book flights. Nice to meet everyone.

Linda

[woody73]

Welcome, Linda.

Woody

[FrenchSnowWhite]

[3lilpigsnprincess]

Welcome Linda and Family!

Let me know if your daughter would like to correspond with my daughter. She and another 8 year old have been emailing and getting to know one another before the trip. It would be fun for them to all talk! :chat:

[zack&alexmom]

Are there any boys, age 8-10, that would be interested in emailing my 9 year old and getting to know each other before the cruise. My daughter is emailing a few girls and my son would like to meet some people also. Just PM me and we can work out the details.

Linda, my son may be a bit young for your son but he would like to email if your's is interested. He's 7 now & will be 8 on the cruise. If he's too young, don't worry about it. I didn't say anything to him about it yet.

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Hi you guys, I have a question for all of you!!!

On November 10th, are we going to meet at some point on the boat???

Have a reunion of some kind????


Can't wait:banana:

[bamodeo]

She would love that. That should ease those first day jitters of not knowing anyone. She was wanting to find some girls that she could hang around with. We went to Destin Florida last year and she met a couple of girls the first day and that sure made the difference. She didn't have to hang around with Mom and Dad all day. :) Just PM me for email address

[bamodeo]

Linda - would your daughter be interested in emailing my 8 year old daughter. She is already emailing a few others.

[zack&alexmom]

Just checking my ticker.

Linda

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Lets see if our ticker says the same thing Linda!!!;)

[zack&alexmom]

We are off a day - did you put the day you are leaving or the first day of the cruise?

Linda

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! You're right Linda, in my head my vacations start on November 9th since we are going to leave home that day!!!;)

I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!:banana:

[Stimpy]

Just a little bump! :banana:

[Lauri]

Another bump up, as we're almost on page 4!

Lauri

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Ok, lets continue this!!!

What category are you staying???

We booked a 12 gty and hope to get a little upgrade for our anniversary!:goodvibes

[zack&alexmom]

We are in a catagory 8.

Ice show and 2 plays down, Dance Recital to go and then I can start really planning this trip!

Anybody played DisTag before? Should we plan a game of tag on this cruise?

Linda

[woody73]

. . . We booked a 12 gty and hope to get a little upgrade for our anniversary!
That would be nice!

Woody

[woody73]

. . . Anybody played DisTag before? Should we plan a game of tag on this cruise?
We haven't, but friends who did had a blast!

Woody

[zack&alexmom]

If enough people are interested I will get the template and make up the tag.

Linda

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Linda, I don't know what the tag game is, can you explain to me??:rolleyes1

Thanks;)

Manon

[spoohs]

I would like to know also. Sounds like it could be fun.:yay:

Cat. 9. Same cabin we stayed in last time. Good location and we could see the fireworks from our window while our daughter slept.

[Lauri]

We're in a category 9. We like to get our exercise walking up and down the stairs. Of course , we'd be ammenable to an upgrade.

Lauri

[zack&alexmom]

With dis tag there is a magnetic tag (Mickey head) that gets placed on the door of one of the players. They in turn sign the tag and then place it on the door of another player and so on and so forth. It is fun to come back to your room and find out that you have gotten tagged. It is also fun to get to see all the wonderful door signs of your fellow dis'ers. The person with the tag on the last morning takes it home with them.

Linda

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Thats sounds fun!:banana:

Honestly I don't even know were I could find something to make a magnetic door signs!!!:rolleyes:

[jjgarv]

We will be in a CAT 7 "Secret Veranda" room:ssst: ...this is our second time snagging one of them....a CAT 6 for the price of a CAT 7:scratchin ...cant beat it!

[Lauri]

On our last cruise (November 2006, double dip), someone ordered lime green bracelets for everyone. They said Double-Dipping DISers on one side, and the sailing date of the cruise on the other. It was a great way to meet everyone, and it was subtle enought to wear on formal night. It would be great to do something like that again.

Lauri

[woody73]

We will be in a CAT 7 "Secret Veranda" room . . .

I can help you with that. Do you have a inkjet printer? If not you can give me some details and I will have my husband make some up.

Linda

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Yes Linda, I have an inkjet printer!!!:goodvibes

Thanks for the help!!! I can't wait to meet you and the rest of the gang!;)

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Hey gang! I'm getting serious with this magnetic door sign:lmao:

I want to have one too!!!:yay:

Tell me what will be on yours???

How big is it??

Can you show me some pictures of it, or a past one???

thanks!;)

[zack&alexmom]

If you go to the main DCL page and search for magnetic door sign you can see hundreds of them. All you will need to do is design what you like and then you can buy the magnetic sheets at Walmart and print them out on your printer. Although you should always test out on regular paper first. You can also order the paper online or get it from Staples or Office Max, ect.

[oceangirl]

Just checking in (and bumping our thread).....

It's been a while since I checked this, and it seems like there are quite a few more families with younger children; any more teens (especially boys) on the cruise?

[FrenchSnowWhite]

No kids for this cruise for us!

Our 3 kids will stay at home with grandpa & grandma!!:goodvibes

[zack&alexmom]

We were way back on page 2 again. Just thought I would bump us back up.

Anybody have any big plans for the holiday weekend? We are going to see POTC tomorrow popcorn:: . DS went today with MIL and loved it - he is going to go again tomorrow. Now if I can just keep the blabbermouth from telling me about the movie I will be happy :rotfl: :rotfl: .

Have a great weekend!

Linda

[FrenchSnowWhite]

:goodvibes Hey! Linda! I bought my magnetic sheets for my door sign, I'm gonna try to print it today!

Have a good week everyone!:cool2:

[zack&alexmom]

How did it go? You are going to have to try and post a picture after you get it done. I haven't even come close to that point. Actually, I make DH do them.

Has everyone got their airfare booked?

Linda

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Linda, I didn't have the time to make it today:sad2:

I'm in my paper work at the companie, so it might take a day or two:goodvibes

My airfare was booked with Disney! And I'm glad we did it that way, because right now its cheaper for us to fly with Disney then with any other air line that we would book ourselfs:rolleyes1

Its 800$ US for the two of us from Montreal (Canada), and I've seen the cheapest at 1200$:scared1:

[zack&alexmom]

$800 doesn't sound bad when compared to $1,200:eek: . I am glad I booked mine when I did because it has gone up a lot since I booked it.

Now I have to decide if we are going to get passports or not:confused3 . I really don't want (or have) another $450 to spend on passports but if we are going to need them in January then I might as well. If they extend it again then I will be sorry that I did. I have to decide soon though because pretty soon it will be too late.

Linda

[FrenchSnowWhite]

That is adorable!! Great work!!! I wish I could figure out that kind of stuff. Stupid question....does the whole magnetic paper go through the printer or is it a regular paper that you stick onto the magnetic paper?

We just got back from WDW a few days ago and now I'm in full cruise planning mode. :banana:

No airfare here yet, we're still waiting for SW to open up past 11/2. We have Country Inn & Suites booked, Budget car rentals booked and I've been scouring Ebay for pirate outfits for my kids.

[FrenchSnowWhite]

Stimpy, the whole magnetic paper goes trough the printer with no problem:goodvibes

I was soooooooooo excited to see the results!!!!:cool1:

Also Stimpy you've got your rental car reserved, tell me how much did you pay? We are looking to rent a car for a day only, the cheapest one, just to go to the groceries stores to buy some wine, beer & water.:)


Linda, don't worry, I'll make at least 1 or 2 more;)

Now let me see yours!!!

[spoohs]

We got our air fare from Jet Blue. Paid $784 for three of us round trip and non-stop from Boston to Orlando. The price for the same flights are now over $1100.00!!!!!!

[buf68]

Hey all! We just booked today!!!! I feel so far behind compared to all of you.

The Cast:
Me (mary) 23
DH: 24
DMom: 44 (turns 45 our last day!)
DSis: 10 (11 by cruise time...my how the time flies)

We are Cat. 9, but not sure what room or anything
We are thinking about doing the St. Thomas semi-sub/90 min aquarium tour excursion....and then St. Marteen just chillin on the beach, and Castaway doing whatever seems fun at the time. DM and DS are probably going to do different stuff (we are probably going to split up a lot). I can't wait, just reading about the cruises gets me excited....oh! I didn't mention, we are ALL cruise virgins! We are also going to stay the night before the cruise at CBR (maybe do MK that day, we get in way early on Airtran). Anyways, happy planning everyone!

[zack&alexmom]

Welcome aboard!!! :welcome: Don't worry, a lot of us have joined recently. We have a few 10 year old(or close) boys who are emailing. If your son would like to email before the cruise just send my a PM and I will have my DS email him.

Linda

[buf68]

lol I should change it, she's actually my sister...not son.....whoops...but she IS a tomboy....

[zack&alexmom]

In that case, there are some girls that are emailing each other. My dd is 7, will be 8 on the cruise and she is emailing with a few other girls. They may be a little young for your sister though. My DS would email her too if she wants.

Linda

[zack&alexmom]

I guess I should have thought about the ages put 2 & 2 together.

[buf68]

I'll talk with my mom about if she can email back and forth, i'll let you know. She's very restricted in terms of internet things....though she DOES play VMK. I might be able to be a "go between" and have her use one of my emails....I'll talk to her tomorrow about it and I'll PM you :). Hopefully it'll work out, I'm sure she'd enjoy getting to know some other kids. She's outgoing enough I think she'd find everyone...but we recently lost my father (45 years old to ALS) so I'm not sure how that's going to change her personality. Anyways, like i said, i'll let you know :)

AND YAY FOR LESS THAN 6 mos!!

I am so sorry to hear about your father. My father has lung cancer that he is fighting right now but at least I am an adult. I can't imagine how much harder it would be to lose someone when you are so young:hug:. Even if your DM doesn't want her to email back and forth we can send her welcome aboard email with a few pictures so she will have a familiar face in the clubs.

Daughter Alyssa(8)
Son Jacob(6)
Son Hunter(4)

Please let me know if you have any children in these categories. I'm sure my kids would love to find others to play with.

The last part would be great to start with, and from there I'll finish talking DM into it :p I'll PM you my email address. Her name is Rachel and she's currently 10 years old (11 in september). Yeah it's a really hard thing to go through (losing a parent)...and something none of us are quite over yet....but we are all looking so much forward to this cruise it's a bit ridiculous.

Thanks everyone for the welcome :):woohoo:

Be sure to check the roll call list for accuracy. Let me know of any changes or additions -- such as pre or post-cruise plans. Many families enjoy meeting fellow cruisers at WDW the day before the cruise, or at dinner the night before the cruise.

Try to include ages at the time of sailing -- especially for the kids. (Okay, you can be perpetual age 29.)
