Hi Steve!

At this point I'm on this cruise too....myself and a good friend. Also in a renamed Cat 7. Late dining.

Only reason to cancel this is if we end up doing something in Europe, but we can't research this until next year.

[SNicksed]

Hey, Monica!

Hope you can make it. This will be our first Veranda. Very excited about it. :banana:

I just added my countdown clock to my sig... Wow, that's far away! :scared1:

[squitty]

This is the cruise that we are seriously considering.

There will be myself and my husband, we will be celebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary.
Just waiting for DU to get back to us with a quote:)

[JNorris]

We just booked this cruise. This will be number 7 on DCL for us! I am very excited to be going to Tortola, never been to the BVI's before. It's myself, DH, and DD who will be 11 when we cruise.

[squitty]

We've just booked ...:wave:

So count us in:D

Hey Judy!!! We just booked this too - Don't think we are stalking you from the last cruise. :rotfl2:
It will be myself, dh, and dd, 6 1/2 by then. Can't wait!! :cool1:

Hey, great minds think alike!!

I'm just excited to go somewhere new! I'd already been to St. Croix (went to USVI's on honeymoon 18 years ago).

We are also doing Hawaii for the first time in 2009, so I have 2 great trips for that year!

By the way, that is the COOLEST animation in your signature! I'm sitting there looking at it, going "Hey...that's the Contemporary...that's the TTC...that's the Poly..." etc.

[tickledtink33]

Hi Everyone

I just moved my onboard ressie to this cruise as well. My second time with a cat 7 navigators verandah. Looking forward to the BVI's as well.

[pfishgirl]

DH & I will be coming.. We may have another couple and their 3 kids with us as well.. And by then DS will be in his 2nd year of college so he is an option too but not a definate.. We have a room but will be changing I'm sure.. Especially if the others join us.. We would get 2 connecting rooms instead..

We will see :thumbsup2

[ragdoll]

DH and I are booked.:woohoo:

[woody73]

We are booked on this cruise. Only 21 months to go!

Good thing we have cruises booked before then to give us our DCL fix!:thumbsup2

[JNorris]

Yep, I don't think we have ever booked a Disney cruise this far out. We have one coming up in 2008, and other trips happening before Sept 2009.

Normal people (those who don't obsess about Disney :rotfl: ) must think we are all crazy to be excited about a trip that is almost 2 years away!

[SNicksed]

We're skipping DCL in 2008. :scared1: :scared1:

We do have trips, though before this one. In April, we're doing 7 nights at Disney World and we are looking at possibly cruising back to Bermuda next fall.

If everyone would like, I can continually update the first post with a list of everyone on this cruise. Just list the names of everyone in your party with kid's ages(?) if you haven't done so already and I will begin to update it later tonight. :)

Steve

[jiminyC_fan]

Good to see others will be on the ship. When I booked with DCL they told me I had the pick of the entire ship for a stateroom. It was 8:00 on the opening day.

[pfishgirl]

Good thing we have cruises booked before then to give us our DCL fix!:thumbsup2

Speaking.. of... Did you PACK yet young lady!!

[ragdoll]

Speaking.. of... Did you PACK yet young lady!!

DH just asked me that question about an hour ago. I just:rotfl: Yep, I am still procrastinating. Maybe I should go get the last load of laundry out of the drier and get started.:confused3

Well you can always come on the ship in you Jammies ;)
I will OVER packed, as always, so I will share my clothes with you.. :thumbsup2 I always over pack for the cruise, because I know when I put an outfit on, I'm not going to like it and have to change into a back up outfit.. :sad2:

Another one going on this cruise. I am probably going to book it on Monday or Tuesday.:thumbsup2 We may just have a September 2007 Eastern reunion on our hands.

[JNorris]

We obviously all like cruising in September! Can't beat those prices!

By the way, what cruiseline are you doing for your Alaska cruise?

We are skipping DCL in '08 also, as we are going to DL in 2008. My best friend lives near there and we take a trip out every other year to visit them and of course go to DL and DCA. :thumbsup2

[JNorris]

Oooohhh, we love DL and DCA. We went there for the first time last year, and loved it. It was fun seeing what was similar and what was different from WDW. And I know alot of people don't like DCA, but we loved it.

[disneydreamer1970]

Okay, We are in....Once DH and I saw that DCL is going to Tortola, we decided to cancel the trip to WDW next September and wait and go on the cruise in 2009. I am sad that we are cancelling next year, but we are just so excited to go on another Disney Cruise!! (Hmmmm..how can I talk DH into letting me take DD down for a few days next year ;) ) It will be myself, DH, DD (8 at the time) and DS (3 at the time). DS(18 at the time) will be in the Air Force, so he will not make this cruise with us....Bummer.

We are not going to book until after Christmas...but this is very exciting!!!

Trish

[Hixski]

By the way, what cruiseline are you doing for your Alaska cruise?

We are doing Holland America through our DVC. We will be on the Westerdam. A couple of people I work with belong to DVC too and we are all going to go on the same cruise. Should be fun.:thumbsup2

[Hixski]

Just booked this cruise today!!! I just booked our Alaska cruise for 2008 in October and now booking this one for 2009. At least I know what I am doing for vacations for the next 2 years.:goodvibes

[GaCruisers]

We are also booked on this one, we just got off the Repo in Sept and this seems so far away. But we were able to get SPH rooms:cool1: !!

You guys are going to have so much fun:thumbsup2

[JsMom2]

My DD and I just got off the Magic last weekend (with Pfishgirl and Ragdoll).

My DSis and her friend sailed with us and want to go again in 2009. I'd done a dummy booking onboard, which I planned to trsfr to 2010, but when I saw the great rates for this cruise, I went for it! (Plus DD was horrified at the idea of no Disney Cruise in 2009!:scared1: )

DSis wanted another Secret Verandah room, like she had last week, but of course they are gone. So if any of you do cancel, please let me know so I can tell her one may be available.

My DD will be 11 at cruise time. In the meantime we're doing the DVC member cruise in Sept 2008.

Did everyone see that DU is offering a double OBC between now and Dec 31st??

[pfishgirl]

Hi JsMom !! :wave:

[pfishgirl]

Anyone doing a Back to Back on this one?

DH booked 9/12 and 9/19 :upsidedow

[JsMom2]

[woj68]

Hi everyone! Add our names to your list. Just booked this cruise last week as a Xmas surprise for the DW who's been jonesing to go again. ;) I couldn't pass up the great rate we got. Booked the same cabin as last time too (6628). :thumbsup2 Too bad 9/09 is so far off. Almost three years will have passed between cruises when we go again. Ugh! :guilty:

Can't wait. It'll be our first time sailing the eastern Caribbean. Looking forward to "meeting" everyone here first.

Ages at time of cruise:
Kevin - 41
Rebecca - 43

Hi Stacy!

How is the princess: doing? Did she have some fun while onboard? I was trying to include her at the Bridal Shower :guilty: but she didn't want to hang out with us "old folks"

[JsMom2]

Oh yes she had a blast! The week went by so quickly, we couldn't believe it was time to get off the ship. She and my sister-in-law kept trying to come up with plans to stowaway for the next sailing!

I'm sure if she wasn't holed up in the bedroom with cookies and Disney Shows/Movies on the TV (in English no less), she would've been more willing to join us. :happytv:

She was happy to hear that you'd be on the 2009 cruise. :thumbsup2

Oh I know, it seemed like the first 2 days dragged but then it flew by and I was like it's Saturday?? :eek:

Well if you stick with this sailing.. I will make sure to bring some surprises for her :goodvibes

[Bareacuda]

Hiya Jennifer! :wave2: September was a blast ... wasn't it!?

A back2back is great! Same room?
we did a back2back in 2004... and loved it!

[JsMom2]

I can't believe the DCL computers are still down. Two days, that's crazy! I feel sorry for all the folks who are trying to make their advance ressies right now.

[pfishgirl]

We are doing this as a Back to Back and in the same Cabin.. At least I don't have to pack, unpack, pack, move, unpack and pack again.. But I will have to do :laundy:

I may see you in the laundry room Stacy! I'd been waiting for DCL's computers to come back up so I could see if they had a 2BR suite avail, and check on the pricing. Right now we're in a Cat 3, and DSis is in a Cat 7. But now I'm thinking maybe a B2B is in order :scratchin

I just sent a new email to DU to ask them to checkout both options for me. I'd definitely want to stay in the same cabin though!

[pfishgirl]

In THAT case I will even throw in a Birthday cake or two :cake: :cake:

In THAT case I will even throw in a Birthday cake or two :cake: :cake:

What cabin are you in? I'm debating whether or not I should downgrade from the Cat 3 if I do the B2B. My DSis is in 7122, so I was thinking of moving to a Cat 5 on Deck 7. But then I think, "if I'm on for 2 weeks, it'd be nice to have the space...." It'd be nice to know what's even available, but of course their computers are STILL down!!:mad:

[JsMom2]

The computers came back up and I'm booked B2B on Sep 12 and 19!! We were even able to get the same stateroom on the 19th that we'd already booked on the 12th. :banana: :banana:

We've got 8032 for both weeks!

I'm jealous.. DH asked if I wanted a suite but since it is just the 2 of us, I said it is ok that our 6 should be fine.. However, I am really thinking that Tub would be awesome to have ;)

[gouodux]

Little late posting this, we have a couple of cruises booked before this one. Hard to keep up with each one.

There are quite a few of us from the WB Panama joining all of you to Tortola.

Are family consists of:

Leslie - 38
Shawn - 39
Jenna - 7
Kayla - 5

Will be a little older by the time this cruise rolls around!! We are trying to get our cruising buddies the "Blake Family" to join us on this one as well.

Looking forward to seeing the BVI!

[pfishgirl]

Wind, Rain, Cold, Ick ick ick

Can we go NOW please!!! :confused3

[JsMom2]

I'm jealous.. DH asked if I wanted a suite but since it is just the 2 of us, I said it is ok that our 6 should be fine.. However, I am really thinking that Tub would be awesome to have ;)

Plus being able to order from the dining room menu from dinner - especially the second week. And don't forget the hot breakfast.....

If you decide to move to the suite, do it now while the prices are so low...they will be going up soon!

Me - Henrietta

Those will be their ages at the time of the cruise.
I look forward to getting to know my fellow cruisers over the next 616 days leading up to our voyage. :laughing:

Hey GaCruisers, we cruised together on the 2006 Double Dip. I think we met quickly at the DIS meet. I was late and I think I caught you as you were leaving.:confused3

[pit303]

WE will be a party of 6 on the 9/27 Myself, Joe(hubby), Kristen(dd),Gabe(dd bf), Michelle (dd), and Will (dd bf).

We were on the 7 day New Year's cruise. The captain stopped the ship right before midnight and we welcomed the New Year in the middle of the Gulf. Everything was great until coming early Wednesday AM when we hit 20-30' foot waves and gale force winds which lasted for two days. Disney and a NCL ship were the only two ships that could stay in Cozumel because we were docked they closed the port for tendering due to the wind. Plus they cancelled all the excursions. Even our Castaway day was chilly with some rain. Of course the sun was shining when we got back to the port on Saturday!! :lmao: :lmao: Still had a great time despite the weather conditions.

Hey GaCruisers, we cruised together on the 2006 Double Dip. I think we met quickly at the DIS meet. I was late and I think I caught you as you were leaving.:confused3

That was such a GREAT cruise, being our 1st time and all. There were so much going on...I hope we get to say HI on this one...:yay:

[Tink113]

Booked 2 rooms for this cruise. Snagged the last Cat. 7 re-assigned veranda room! :) It will be my hubby & I (2 year anniv.)...and in the other room possibly my bro & his fam. Can't wait!:cutie: Cabin #6134 (I'll have to check on the other one).

Has there been a list for Fish Extender gifts started for this cruise yet? If so, can I get on the list??? :dance3:

So far it will be myself: Amanda & my hubby Jason

Thanks for the WELCOME! I'm super excited to go to a BVI! I've done the reg. Eastern before, so this will be fun. I hear it's not such a huge cruise stop so maybe it wont be crowded!

I don't know how I'm going to make it:eek: ... we are doing my first ever 4 day this Sept. I just know I'm going to get off the ship feeling like I just got on!:sad1: On the up side, we are taking the whole fam for the first time!:goodvibes Mom, dad, us, my little bro, my big bro, his 2 sons, and his wife:jumping1: .

I'm secretly hoping to get them hooked! Shhhh... don't tell. :rolleyes1 Only my mom & little bro have cruised before. Of course with Disney! They are already hooked!:lovestruc

Which 4 day are you on in Sept? DD and I are going on the DVC Member Cruise on Sept 21st. Our past 4 DCL cruises have all been on the Magic, so it'll be nice to see the Wonder for a change. (Although we are also not looking forward to getting off so soon after boarding.) We'll be at AKV 14-21 Sept. Will you be at WDW during that time?

I'm sure you'll have a great time with your family. DD and I took my Sis, her friend, and my Bro and his family on the Magic last December and had a blast!

We are going on the Sept.28th-Oct.2nd Cruise. I'm a bit bummed, as there is no one in the meet forum who is going on the cruise yet!:sad2:
I would like to do a fish extender list for the '08 & '09 cruises. The kids would LOVE it on the '08 cruise, but like I said...no one seems interested yet.

[KellyMB]

Kelly,
With 3 and 5 year olds, you probably won't see much of them during the cruise! It was a struggle to get my DD out of the clubs at that age. (Not that I tried too hard mind you. :rolleyes1 ) But you and your sis will have a great time together!

That is so true!!! A couple of nights on our last cruise we had to bargain with our 3 DDs to get them to have dinner with us. :) They would have been more than happy to eat room service and head out to the clubs.

Seems our cruise is starting to fill up! :cheer2: :cheer2:

[Tink113]

I just got a few random email notifications about postings to the board. Here I thought there would be 2 new ones and there is a whole page. I feel so behind! :sad2: Oh, well! I am super excited about this cruise. Too bad it's over a year away! We are working on buying our first house now so I'm glad I have already paid all the deposits for this cruise and our Sept. 08 cruise or my hubby might have said no way! :dance3:

Sorry guys not so into LOST. NCIS, House, and Prison Break are my seasonal addictions. Oh, and I can't wait for summer so I can watch SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!!!! LOVE it!:cool1:

I am so missing Sex in the City! :happytv: :worship: The best ever addiction! Can't hardly wait till the movie comes out!!!!:lovestruc :lovestruc :lovestruc

I have to admit that my "guilty pleasure" which will be returning sometime in Feb is America's Next Top Model. Who doesn't love witchy women who need a good meal?!!:rotfl:

[Bareacuda]

Now ya got me!

Im soooo lucky, I watch it 3 times a day.:banana:

[JsMom2]

My faves:

Grey's Anatomy
NCIS
Army Wives
The Closer
Boston Legal
NCIS
Without a Trace
ER

Since I'm overseas (Belgium), I'm only able to watch current seasons of Grey's, NCIS, and The Closer from iTunes. Everything else, I have to wait for AFN to show. I also got hooked on the first season of Brothers and Sisters. So I'll be watching that when it comes around again here.

Any news on the Writers's Strike?

[KellyMB]

We are booked! Cabin 7007, my parents will be in 712? (Can't remember) wth a Navigators veranda on the opposite end of the ship. Same deck though so that will be easy. My Sister is going to book as well, and my FIL and his GF may get the cabin adjoining ours.

I have to admit, I watch junk on TV :happytv:

I'm into those stupid reality shows on MTV and VH1 like Real World, My Fair Brady, and now Celebrity Rehab.

I was really into Pushing Daisies and Journeyman until the writers strike took those away from me :sad1:

I haven't heard any update JsMom2. I wish they would give us one soon! :confused3

Welcome KellyMB !!!!!!!!!!!! How exciting! We were in 7126 w/a navigator's verandah last year - had a great time. :goodvibes How come you and your parents are on opposite ends of the ship? ;) Just kidding. I'm already counting down in my mind.

We wanted a Cat 10 and they wanted the navigators veranda. Unfortunately on deck 7 there are only a few of each type and they are on opposite ends. It really wasn't intentional as we all get along great.

We wanted Deck 5 but all of the CAT 10s on deck 5 were already booked, so Deck 7 was our second choice.

Ya know, my friends/family all think I'm crazy for booking a vacation that far in advance. But just last month, a friend booked a 4-night on the Wonder and we are paying less for this 7-night Eastern than she did on the 4-night! Made me feel better that I booked ahead. :goodvibes

Many of our friends and family feel the same way. I have always booked as far out as possible. You really have nothing to lose and everything to gain- best price, best choice of cabins and plenty of time to pay for your trip without going into debt.

It's nice to have something to plan for and look forward to.:goodvibes

We normally book suites so you have to book that early. And we normally look for special sailings like this one.

Plus, I don't mind booking early. It gives me more time to plan everything.

[KellyMB]

Well, My brother, SIL and their 2 kids are now booked for this cruise as well! It also sounds like my other brother is interested (they have 3 kids), and possibly my aunt and her new husband as well, so our group is going to be HUGE!

Exactly! We are paying $1400 less on this cruise, than we did on last December's E. Caribbean! I've usually booked about a year out, but ITA there is nothing to lose by booking as soon as the rates/dates are released. We were able to get the same mid-ship cat 3 for this sailing and the one after it. Now depending upon DCL's 2010 itineraries, we may cancel these dates, but I can just move my deposits to the new booking. :thumbsup2

[rotary2808]

Bumping us off of p.2.

[Jennifer48]

I'm a plan-a-holic so booking this far ahead is great fun for me :rotfl: :teacher:

[rotary2808]

I'm a plan-aholic too. I enjoy it. I'm starting to think about 2010, just waiting to see where DCL goes. I'm also thinking about 2011 and the new ship.

Me too! I'm so hoping that while we are on this cruise we will have an idea where the new ships are going in 2011! :sail: Here's to wishful thinking! :wizard: pixiedust:

[rotary2808]

I imagine the new ships will stay on this side of the world for right now. They'll be too big to fit through the Panama Canal won't they? At least until the widening project is done.

For 2010, I'm hoping for either Hawaii or back to the Med. If it goes to Hawaii, I have to decide between Hawaii or the canal cruise to get it back or forth to the West Coast. If it's the Med. again, I have to decide between another trans cruise or doing the Med. this time. Decisions, decisions...:scared1:

[Hixski]

Seriously?! Can I come?! :angel:



Stalker!!!!!!:rotfl2:

Just kidding!! We are using 160 of our DVC points through II and getting a week in Oahu. But since that doesn't get us around to the other islands we are doing a Hawaiian cruise too for a week. It will be sometime in September or October of 2010. Come on along if you like!!!;)

[GaCruisers]

Any day that you think about a cruise....is a good day:woohoo:

If it's the Med. again, I have to decide between another trans cruise or doing the Med. this time. Decisions, decisions...:scared1:

We are hoping for pretty much the same but I would add Alaska to the list of possible itineraries. Which T/A Repo did you sail? My eldest DD and I did the August sailing and had an awesome time.

My "secret" plan (haven't run it past DH yet) is to do a back to back Repositioning cruise (PC or T/A) with either the special sailing right after or before. I know my DH will probably only do one of the sailings because he will not take that much time off of work, so I will probably do the longer sailing just with my 3 DDs.

I look forward to seeing the 2010 itineraries. :)

[rotary2808]

We were on the August repo too. It was an awesome two weeks and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Learned alot of valuable lessons for next time.

We were going to do the B2B, but that would have been at least 24 days and we decided that was a lot of time and money. It would have been nice, but... So if they go back to the Med. I would have a hard time deciding between doing the TA again or doing the Med. for something different.

Alaska for me would be iffy. I would probably do the PC cruise before I would do an Alaskan cruise.

[JsMom2]

I'm also hoping for another PC cruise soon. I've already Alaska and Hawaii - although not with DCL of course! And they were both nice, but I don't have any burning desires to go back.

[kaseyC]

I'm also hoping for another PC cruise soon. I've already Alaska and Hawaii - although not with DCL of course! And they were both nice, but I don't have any burning desires to go back.

DH and I have done Alaska a couple of times ourselves with other cruiselines but we want to take our girls at least once and do one of the more intensive land and sea trips. We would love for it to be on DCL but if they never sail there we will just go with someone else. Maybe with NCL again in one of their fabulous Courtyard Villas.:cloud9:

[rotary2808]

I'll sail wherever the Magic takes me.:rotfl2:

In fact Ragdoll and Harry the mixer (her first mate) called my home to check to see if everything was ok..Real good people..

So here is our DIS door sign...




Rags I will be posting your door soon next..
Anyone wanting a door sign just let me know. I should start watching the boards a little more often... Just to get into the swing of things... Also getting ready for DISNEYLAND in April 2008 (coming soon)....:banana: :yay: :cheer2: Can't wait.

Great photo! Rambo he was our assistant server on our 12/29/07 NYE cruise!!

I'm also guilty of being a Plan-A-Holic.. As soon as I know I have a trip scheduled, I make folders and notes and plans for events or reservations.. The date to which I can start reserving things etc :surfweb: But I LOVE it :goodvibes I'd much rather be overly prepared then underly prepared..

Are you in contact with him?

Hopefully, he will be back on board for our 9/27/08 dd. Can't wait to find out how he did in Las Vegas. That was all he talked about on our last cruise was his upcoming break and trip to Las Vegas.

Love the signs!! Saw the ones you also did for the people on our 9/27 cruise.

My youngest dd is a Lynchburgh grad is that near you?

KaseyC, which Cat 1 do you have? We have the Cat 3 next to the Walt.

We're booked in the Roy (8530). For our past few cruises we have sailed in 8532. So we will be right next door to our usual cabin.

We're in 8032 for this cruise and the one after. I once turned down 8532, because I was worried about the noise from the arcade above. It sounds like you've had good luck with that stateroom though, so is the noise not too bad then?

You do hear some deck 9 noise, running footsteps at times. Our family is not too sensitive to noise, so it did not bother us. I think if you are sensitive to noise you may want to avoid that suite.

You're doing back to back in 8032? How wonderful!!:goodvibes

Yes, we're really looking forward to it!

[lg3]

My "secret" plan (haven't run it past DH yet) is to do a back to back Repositioning cruise (PC or T/A) with either the special sailing right after or before. I know my DH will probably only do one of the sailings because he will not take that much time off of work, so I will probably do the longer sailing just with my 3 DDs.


LOl! :rotfl: I thought I was the only one that had "secret" plans, aka not running it by the dh yet!!!!! Sometimes it talkes a little time to put just the right angle on it at just the right time. :lmao:

[rotary2808]

This will be our first time in the cat. 2. We've been in a cat. 3 a couple of times before.

I do all the vacation planning and basically just tell him when he needs to take off, the dress code and where we are going. ;)

Since I handle the day to day finances in our house, DH has a difficult time surprising me. He's gotten better the last few years, does a lot of shopping at the last minute and even has our jeweler hold off charging the cc until he has given me the gift.:laughing:

How's everyone's weather? Here in the "metropolis" of Lake Villa it is a balmy 35 degrees and last night we added a few more inches to our remaining couple of feet of snow!! I'm so looking forward to spring!!

[rotary2808]

DH still manages to surprise me even though I do the finances too. He's got cc's that are his alone, but I don't think he uses those. So I don't know how he does it.

It's rainy and drab here. At least it's not too terribly cold, it's in the 50's. The weekend is supposed to be nice and in the 60's, thank God. I'm so ready to go to the beach in a couple of weeks and hopefully to some nicer weather.

I am beyond thrilled- we just booked for Sept. 12, 2009. So far away, but kinda fun to have something to look forward to. We did the 3 day cruise Sept. '07 and are hooked. My husband thinks I'm addicted to something called the "Dis-boards", love it and all the other Dis-board addicts out there. We will be celebrating our 16th anniversary on the cruise. It is DH, Me, Kids-12 & 6 traveling in '09. We had a hard time deciding between Eastern/Tortola and the Western with 2 CC stops. I know we will have fun no matter where the boat is headed.

:cool1:

[rotary2808]

Welcome!!!!

[Andromeda9mm]

Don't know if any of you went through DU, but we paid $2503.00 for a cat 6 for two people... the same thing on DCL was $3217.00 ... that's a $700.00 savings!

Both prices are WITH OUT the insurance and transfers.

DU had some rooms with group rates I guess. Yeah for us!

[rotary2808]

Great deal Meredith.

[Belle'sMom]

Just a note and 'hello' to everyone.
We're on the Sept 12th '09 too...
Seems odd booking so far out in advance..but we were afraid to miss out on the great rate. We'll be going on a three day in April on the Wonder for our 25th wedding anniversary... and then for our 50th birthdays the Magic to Tortola.

Haven't had a chance to read the thread, but we just booked this cruise. It's a surprise for our 4 kids (they'll be 15, 11, 5, and 5), and a welcome home vacation for dh who will be returning from a year plus in Afghanistan. It's really a make up for him- he's missing our cruise this Fall, so we're going again.

Can't wait to catch up on the info.

Wow, what a coincidence.

We're hoping to be able to keep the kids completely in the dark until we got to Port Canaveral. We've managed with WDW trips, but this might be hard. We were thinking of telling them we were going to sail on the Carnival Glory or RCL Sovereign of the Seas, then pull into the Disney lot.

[skoi]

Finally read through the thread. We've cruised with some of you before on the 9/16/06 double dip. And we're cruising with some of you on the 9/27/08 double dip. I guess we're all hopeless DCL addicts. Could be worse.

Now I have to keep my mouth shut in front of the kids for the next two years. I don't know if I can make it.

Julie

Hi All !! I've been MIA due to a hectic few months.. I will try to be better.. :guilty:

It'll be easier with dh gone. I'm the compulsive planner, but he always asks me what the plans are. They all tease me, with things like, "so where are we going on vacation in 2012." Ha. Little do they know I'm really already planning.

[rotary2808]

I'm the same way. Always thinking about the next trip. I can't wait until the end of the year or early next year to see where DCL will be in 2010 and I'm hoping for a spot on the maiden voyage in 2011. After that I might be able to stop for awhile.

Wendy

[bcnorth]

Thanks for making me feel welcome here, my son will be 4 1/2 by that time and my husband will have just celebrated his birthday the week before the cruise. I am quite excited and I haven't yet told my husband or son that I have done this, I'm thinking Christmas surprise for them.

My DD was 4 1/2 for her first Disney cruise. Your son will have a blast! One thing to think about is that you might want to move him up to the 5-7 year olds. I did that with my DD mainly because we were traveling with her cousin who was 7 at the time. But I was glad I did, because I think she would've been bored with the 3-4 year old activities. Developmentally, there's a big difference between a 25 month old and a kid who's almost ready for kindergarden. You don't have to decide in advance, and the youth activities staff will work with you to figure out which group will work best for you and your son. Just try to get him into one group or another as early as possible in the cruise, so he can make friends within his group.

[bcnorth]

Thanks for the advice, I had thought I had read that they wouldn't allow you to do that unless it was close to their birthday during sailing (DS pirate: won't be five until Feb 2010). I definetly will try that though, he is already going to preschool part-time and interacts with the older children more than the ones his age (may be that they are all girls though):grouphug:

We are heading to DL in three weeks so this will be the primer for our son and my husband, I just don't know if I can keep it a secret that long for them.

[rotary2808]

See how they do at DL and then decide if you want to tell them now or wait. I bet they'll have such a great time that you won't be able to wait.

[skoi]

I don't know how you can keep it a secret from your kiddoes. I know lots of people do, but everytime I try I tell her before the day is out. :lmao: :lmao:

He's a boy, but will play/hang out with anyone who shares similar interests.

I really have to keep this secret. It'll be easier, because dh won't be home to discuss it with. The only way I could convince him to book this trip after our double dip is because he's going to miss it. He'd never have agreed otherwise. Sometimes, though, I think maybe it would be good to tell them,to give something to look forward to while he's in Afghanistan, but then my evil self kicks in and I remember my plan to tell them we're going on a 4 night Sovereign of the Seas to the Bahamas, then say, "Oh no, we missed the ship, we'll have to go on Disney instead."

My DD's birthday is in September, and we sailed in May. But they didn't blink twice when I asked about putting her with her cousin. If your DS is already in pre-school and used to group situations, he may prefer the older group too. The CMs will trust your judgement.

I'm in the AF - as is DD's Dad - and we only have 4 month deployments. But I know that after about 2 1/2 months in, she starts having a hard time. Why don't you save the surprise as something you can pull out of your hat when the kids are really missing Dad? Then you can keep them busy making magnets to decorate your door, and getting costumes together for pirate night - just a suggestion. I'm sure you know what's best for your family.

[skoi]

That's a good idea. We have up to 400 days on this one, and it's our first deployment. I'll probably be nuts in a month.

Hello, I just noticed this Meet even though we booked this cruise the day that the dates opened up. It will be me, my wife, and our DS5 and will be our 5th Disney Cruise and 6th overall (All of them with our son, whose 1st was at 18 months old). We're also booked for September 2008. We always book early for September in a 'Secret' cat 7. We're excited about going to Tortola. I'll have to go back through this thread and catch up!!!

I totally agree. I absolutely loved the repo last August. Hopefully, DCL will go back to Europe.:)

I know they will, I just wonder if it will be before the new ships are complete. Of course, that just leaves 2010.

Hi Everyone!
We are looking to book soon, and were wondering if there was a better side of the ship to be on for this particular cruise. Better views?
Thanks!

[rotary2808]

Welcome Lindsey!!!!

I don't know if there's necessarily a better side of the ship to be on. It depends on how they dock. Just being on there is the best view of all.

Lindsey, you're welcome. It will be an awesome trip and I can hardly wait.

Although, at least now I do have something Disney to look forward to between now and then. We are going to WDW right after Thanksgiving with parents. Who didn't see that one coming?:rotfl2:

[rotary2808]

Anybody got a good suggestion for what we could call this cruise?

[GaCruisers]

How about "Sept '09, Tortola and the Magic one last time"?pirate:

[rotary2808]

I like it!!!

[pfishgirl]

Isn't that a little long? :confused3 Not that I don't like it, cause I do.. :thumbsup2 but won't DCL be using Tortola regularily?

[rotary2808]

Ok, any other suggestions? Maybe even something we could abbreviate?

[Epperbiker]

"Tor-Totally Magic 2009"

Ok, that stinks, but surely someone will come up with something good!?!
:goodvibes

[pfishgirl]

DCL Magic Tor-Tollin' 09'

:confused3

I am soooo bad at coming up with titles

We booked this cruise before I knew so many of the Sept 07 cruisers were going to be on board. :grouphug: It must be fate. My DS who was on the cruise with us last Sept is getting married July 11, 2009 so we decided that we would need a cruise to recooperate from that. His future inlaws have also booked the cruise with us. The kids are having a fit that we are not taking them. We told them that they are why we will need the cruise to begin with. :rotfl2: DH and I are booked on the DVC cruise in Sept of this year. 160 days and counting until we leave. :banana:

Welcome goslingl!!!!! Good luck planning the upcoming wedding.
