[TexasGirl]

Booked this morning at the first available Gold booking window!

We are on the Aug 16th as well!

It will be myself (Nita)
Dear Husband (Michael)
Dear Daughter (Sarina) who will be 11 at the time of sailing
Dear Son (Nathaniel) who will be 6 at the time of sailing.

The sailing will be our 9th sailing.


We are excited. We're booked in a Sideways room...Virtual porthole.

We've been calling it

"Double Dipping Dreams before the School Bell Rings" all day today. This will be the last week before school commences in Texas so that will be our big 'send off to summer' prior to School starting the following Monday.

[cruisinpenguin]

Hello fellow cruisemates!! We too are booked on the Dream 8/16/2011....this will be our 8th DCL cruise and we are so excited!! We are Laurie, Rob and Joshua (7). We will be celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary on 8/16!! Can't wait to set sail on this exciting new ship!!
Laurie :)

[TexasGirl]

We'll be celebrating (although about a week early) our wedding anniversary as well.

My kiddos are so excited. It is sooooo far away though.

I bet the list of families grows fast. I was surprised this sailing was considerably cheaper than just one week prior.

[cruisinpenguin]

What category did you get? We book cat 9A deluxe oceanview very front of ship deck 7. I agree, prices were not bad. Can't wait to go to Castaway twice!! :)

[jd99]

Just booked. Me (Jeff) DW, DD12, DD7 (at time of cruise).

Getting ready to cruise in 3 weeks on magic so we will see if we can improve our price on this sailing!

Category 4D!

[TVEPFOX]

Add New Yorkers to the list!

Michele, Eric and Mikayla age 9 at time of the cruise.

We booked a category 6B, veranda on the back end of the boat! I always wanted a room like that with an extra large balcony!

This will be our 9th cruise.

[jns]

Hoping to book this too but have to wait till next Monday
It will be our 5th Cruise
anyone like to share what deal you got please

I booked this cruise for my DW and I this morning. I'm hoping we can keep this date, but it all depends on what date my DD and her soon-to-be fiance decide to get married. It could through a monkey wrench into mom and dad's plans. :rolleyes:

Below, is the price I received, when I called at 8am this morning:

Cat. 10A 2A $1652.34 excludes transfers/insurance

The price was $779.00pp, I am paying $769.00pp for our 4 day cruise in April 2010 for the same category cabin.

[TVEPFOX]

I just changed our cruise this morning.

Went from:
6B 8/07/2011 2A, 1C $3888.51 no transfers, no insurance

New reservation:
6B 8/16/2011 2A, 1C $2918.51 no transfers, no insurance

Imagine, saving money with DCL!!!!

[jns]

Hey Steve and Lisa!

We're over in Rensselaer County, yeah, I know the signature says Albany! Looks like we'll be close cruise buddies! The Dream will be our 9th cruise. We're booked for Aug 2010 on the Wonder, the price is nutts!!! I agree we might dump it and go with RCCL.

Michele and Eric

[SNicksed]

Hey neighbor! :wave: I can't believe the difference in price between the 7th and the 16th. It's like they made a mistake or something. I was so sure the prices were going to be through the roof. (like the 2010 5-nighter's) Very glad I was wrong! :thumbsup2 I just may switch categories before the week is out. I keep looking at those aft balconies! lol :rotfl:

[TVEPFOX]

Snicksed, you said you were booked on a 5 night in August 2010, which one are you on? We're on the Aug 7, 2010 DD to CC. I just can't get enough CC!

[TexasGirl]

I agree. We gave our TA 8/7 as the first choice and 8/16th as our 2nd if cheaper. BOY was it cheaper!

[maryisme]

Hi all,

Add our group to this sailing! It will be myself, DH, DM, DD (16), DD (7) at time of sailing. This will be our 10th sailing and we are so excited to experience the Dream.

[TVEPFOX]

More New Yorkers! Welcome!!!!

[SNicksed]

Snicksed, you said you were booked on a 5 night in August 2010, which one are you on? We're on the Aug 7, 2010 DD to CC. I just can't get enough CC!

Not booked for 2010. Not at those prices! :scared1:

[sabrecmc]

Well, I can't book until Monday. I have a quote request in to my TA at DU. I was originally considering the earlier 5-night, but looking at the prices...wow, what a difference! I guess because of school schedules? Whatever the reason, I'm thrilled with it. Really looking forward to trying the new ship.

[winnyis]

I will be booking my 2 sisters and their families on Monday also. Hoping to convince my parents to come also.

I hope the rooms near mine are still available so we can be near each other.

[gfolchick]

We're booked, CAT 9A Deck 8
2 rooms/4 people 2A, 2K (14, 12) at sailing
Will be traveling with 2 sets of friends with kids:
2A, 3K (14, 12, 6)
2A, 4K (14, 12, 11, 5)

As for the difference in price between the two weeks, we cruised this past August on what should have been a Tortola route (changed to Western). The difference between that week and the week before was about $1500 less so I hoped it would be the same this time around. Glad to hear it is.

[Dahly]

Hoping to book this date on Monday for myself and DS, who will be 13 at the time of the cruise, depends on how much, if any, prices change between now and Monday. Have an email into my agent, so hopefully i am near the top of her list!

[TinkTatoo]

Another one from Ireland hoping to book this cruise on Monday :thumbsup2

We priced the DD for August 2010 and DCL wanted over $5,000 so we went with a 4 night instead. I can't wait to do a 5 night double dip (as long as I can get booked :surfweb: )

Hi there
maybe after all this time we will get to meet out in the real world :surfweb:
really hoping to get booked on this cruise too , but DS is still looking at Oct

[xABearx]

Hello,

We (gdulaney & I) are booked for this one as well. This will be our 17th DCL cruise and had a great time on all the others. Looking forward to seeing old faces and meeting news ones on DCL's newest ship! Can't wait!! :cool1:

[TVEPFOX]

I've got some cruise buddies from our trip this past August coming with us! :cool1::cool1::cool1: They get to book tomorrow.

They are great people, we had a freakin' blast! Boy, are we going to have fun!!!

Let's get the party started!!!!:drinking1:drinking1 Did I mention I like to drink?!?!

[winnyis]

Thankfully DCL opened online booking early so at 7:15 I was able to get 2 of my sisters and their families and my parents booked with no wait at all. DCL site worked perfectly. We now have a total of 14 of us (hoping to still convince my one other sister who has no kids to join us).

So happy because all the categories I booked (10A & 9A) are now either totally gone or to Gty status.

[jns]

We are joing you all too :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

My Lovely TA has got me booked too :cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1::cool1:

[4everluvDisney]

We'll be onboard too!!!:woohoo: It will be myself, DH and DGS 7 & DGS 4.

Party on! Can't wait! :dance3:

It will be one big parrrrty:woohoo::woohoo:

I just sent you a PM.

[elgerber]

We will be joining you! Just heard from my TA (a very brief 1 line e-mail, poor lady is drowning) that she got us on, a cat 6b and 11b, aft. It will be me, dh, ds 18 and dd 16. This is our second cruise, we did a 7 day eastern last October, with Hurricane Omar.

I'm so excited!!!

[addicted_to_WDW]

Count us in! This will be our 3rd DCL cruise. We're primarily WDW freaks who do the occasional cruise to break things up. :)

Traveling will be DH, me (Jen), and our then-17 year old DS.

I just booked this as well, Cat 9A, and this is the first time I have had a "GTY" status... what exactly will that mean for us??

[HallsofVA]

Hi! We're booking on this cruise as well. Still need to decide on the actual category. At various times when I looked today 11C, 10A and 9A were all in GTY status. And at one point, 11C was no longer an option for 4 people, but it opened back up, though at GTY status. When I went back to look at the 10A GTY, it had opened back up with actual rooms.

But we're excited to be on the ship!

[HallsofVA]

I just booked this as well, Cat 9A, and this is the first time I have had a "GTY" status... what exactly will that mean for us??

If you've booked 9A GTY, you are guaranteed to get assigned at least a Cat 9A room. You could get assigned a room in a higher category as well, which would in essence be a *pixie dust* upgrade, since you'd be getting a more expensive room at the lower room price.

Rooms have generally been assigned 30-45 days out.

Ok, thanks, that makes sense... and of course some *pixie dust* would be great when the magical room selector comes across our ressie!! :) Anyway, we will be on board and joining the fun regardless! Can't wait!!!!

[elgerber]

Elgerber,

We're 6b aft too, 6690. Where are you?

1 floor up, 7191 and 7192, nice to get the cat 11 right next door to our 6, I was surprised it was still open, since there are only 2 up there.

I can't wait for the view!!

[SNicksed]

I managed to change our room this morning a little after 7am from an 11C to a cat 10A on deck 6 . Will be very happy to have the split bath! ;)

[jewelgrrl]

Count me in!! :goodvibes

Hubby(Tim) and I will be joining you all. Cat 11C Room 2025 This will be our 2nd cruise. First was a 7 night eastern 3 years ago. Can't wait for the new ship and to see all the changes to Castaway Cay!

[havaneselover]

Hi everyone. New to this board (2nd post). We booked this cruise today. Third Disney cruise for our family (we've done Western and Eastern Caribbean before). We're in a category 6a--room 10664 (back of the ship). Anyone have any thoughts about being on the back of the ship? It seems convenient to get to the kids' pools and elevators, but my DH is concerend we might not see anything off the balcony if we're in the back. Probably overthinking this! Can't wait. Wish it were next summer.

So you're the one! That's one of the 2 11C rooms I was looking for! (non-connecting ones). Great deal!

[lundve]

Hey we are on this one too!

I must apologize if I do not post much from now and until mid-December as we have a family reunion trip to WDW very soon. I feel as if I have ten thousand things to do. We leave in 18 days and I was little miffed with Disney making me plan our next trip before we came back from this one. :rotfl:

Have three staterooms, category 11B, in row on deck 7. This is DH and I's third cruise, DS 2nd, and youngest DS first.

MY BIL And SIL are in one of the rooms and this is their second, their son and his family are in the other, this is their first cruise.

HOPEFULLY - things stay as planned!!

My first choice was the back of the ship. When I booked every cabin was open, I was the first one! Took a 6b.

I think all the way aft will be wonderful. We always book aft for the location, but being on the butt of the ship you can sit and watch the world fade away. How nice!

I wasn't paying attention before and didn't realize these have solid wall verandahs. Are you concerned about that? I am not sure I can do anything now anyway, since I need to be near an 11b, but I'm a little sad about the soild wall.

Yes, I know it is a solid wall verandah. We've had glass, solid, secret, nav and a porthole. Solid wall doesn't bother me one bit.

DH loves the solid wall, he can walk out on deck and catch some fresh air (if you know what I mean):rotfl2::rotfl2:

[LuvsBlueDiamonds]

I've changed my screen name. Since I lost my job I'm tired of being my old user name. Time for something new...

TVEPFOX is now LuvsBlueDiamonds

Yeah, go figure, what a great screen name for me. For those of you who are getting to know me I LOVE blue diamonds. Ask DH, I collect them!!

I have to start all over with posts and threads, but I don't care. Hopefully this name will bring me good luck and maybe a few new gems!

[sabrecmc]

We're booked. Cat. 5A, 2A and 1C, $3282.60 (no ins/transfers). Right now, we're in room 10056, but I asked my TA to switch us to the other side of the ship so we can be under the spa. That just seems like it would be nice and quiet.

This will be our last vacation before I have to start planning around school. My daughter will start school the Monday after the cruise. *sob* My baby! She's just 3 now, so its weird to think of school schedules at this point! Just gives us more reason to relish our first Dream sailing.

We shall collect more my friend! Just don't tell the husbands! We've got a long time to save up for more blues!

[Dahly]

Hi! I booked this afternoon for this cruise for my DS(13 at cruise) and I in a cat 9A. I noticed a few people here said it was in GTY status earlier, but my TA got me in 6502. I guess rooms are being held and then released as people decide what they want to do.

This will our 3 Disney Cruise, we did a 4 night double dip in 2008, and we are doing the 8/12/11 4 night right before this one with my parents, 2 sisters, 1 bil, 3 nephews, and maybe one niece. the 8/16 5 night is just for me and the kiddo.

My son will be very happy when he gets home from school that I was able to book us for this. Today is his b-day, so I hope he like his surprise! :cool1::cool1:

Looking forward to getting to know you all! The next year and 9 months is going to fly by!

Looks like we are going to be neighbours :thumbsup2
we're back there too in 10162 6A cat

This will be our 5th cruise so we will be gold castaway club members after this one
there will be me Jackie , DH Micheal ,DS Aidan 19 and DS Micheal who will be 13 at the time of sailing

[jewelgrrl]

Ha! That's the room I changed from! Welcome aboard. :thumbsup2

Cool, Disney minds think alike you know....Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome!

We're right across from you in 2028! :thumbsup2

Sounds great! Glad to get a room mid ship, of course I'll appreciate it if I get upgraded as well....;)

So you're the one! That's one of the 2 11C rooms I was looking for! (non-connecting ones). Great deal!

I also looked at 2525 right across the hall. I hope deck 2 isn't too noisy, what with the restaurant on it. What category did you decide on?

I saw in your sig that you were once upgraded to the Roy suite!! That must've been awesome - I think I would have fainted! What cat. were you when that happened??

So glad to be on board! Hope the time flies for us all!

[DeeCeeSW]

Booked this afternoon! Category 8C, Deck 7, aft (7180). This is non-connecting and sandwiched between two decks of just staterooms. Excellent. This will be our first Disney cruise! We've booked three times but have always ended up cancelling. This time I am determined to go!:goodvibes

Thanks for the insight. Very helpful. My only reservation now about this stateroom is the solid wall verandah. Not sure if it makes sense to switch to a 5E to get the plexiglass.

[LuvsBlueDiamonds]

Looking forward to seeing you again my friend from Albany.

Hello my August Friends!!! Cool, you're coming with us!!!!

Michele

[Maryrn11168]

Hi!! We are booked!!! We will be joining you on the Dream!!! :cool1::cool1:It will be me, DH, DS (12), DD (9) and DS (8). We are in a Cat 8B room 9158!!! Soooo excited!!:yay::yay: We had booked a 5 night for Aug 2010 and they were able to apply the credits and discount to the Aug '11 cruise and b/c of the new inside rooms we only need 1 cat 8 room!!! We never used the balcony on the Magic last year!! Actually I used it once to dry clothes and the ship encountered a flock of migrating birds that manage to use the balconies for a rest area and a bathroom :eek::eek:!!! So we really don't need it!!!

Question??? Does anyone know what a Cat 8A is??? Is it really bigger??

I still haven't decided on a category or room yet. Still debating between 11C, 10A (if they come available again), 9B and 9A.

When we upgraded to the Roy suite last year we went from Cat 6 to Cat 1. It was wonderful! We're in for a shock on our next cruise in Dec, though, since we booked Cat 12 and were assigned Cat 10. And we have a Cat 8 room booked in January on the Wonder. Our 2 cruises thus far ended up being in Cat 3 and Cat 1, so we've yet to sail outside of Deck 8.

[2littleprincesses]

Count me in too!!! 1st cruise for my girls, 1st Disney cruise for dh and I. We are dd#2 (newly 8 at time of cruise), dd#1 (10 at time of cruise), me and dh. We are in a 11C category. This is the best for seasickness and less noise--correct?

We are very excited. Can't wait to meet you all!!!

Now I need to make a ticker!

[DisneyWhirled]

We booked today!! This will be our 2nd cruise and both in Aug! We will be 2A 2C (DD will be 9 and DS will be 12). Room 9070, cat 5A.

So excited!!!! :banana:

[bstafford]

Just booked Aug. 16th today too! We are a family of six, so we have two rooms. We got two 11C which are booked as a gty.
Our family:
Thad (Dad)
Bonnie (Mom)
Ryan (will be 11)
Kate (will be 8)
Olivia (will be 6)
Brady (will be 2)

I can't tell you how thrilled I am...now how to pass the time until then? :goodvibes

[msteddom]

Count me in too! I'm in room 5513, an 11B. I really didn't look at how it was situated on the ship. Hope it's an okay location. Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

[LuvsBlueDiamonds]

Man this thread is going to ROCK!!!

[elgerber]

I think the ship is going to be taken over by DIS'ers!

[parlay]

Woohoo, August 29th Alumni here:rotfl:! We are also booked on the 5 day double dip (this is cruise #3). We are thrilled about the price, $3860 for a family of 5 in an 8D - stateroom 6672 (we usually have to book a Cat. 4 - and we used the balcony just a handful of times this last cruise). That large Porthole looks great, and the girls have already "called" it for Day 1-5!

[My4PhillyGirls]

Welcome aboard! We are on deck 6 also. We have 6578 & 6580 the last two 5D cabins before the Deluxe Family Veranda Staterooms.

Glad to see the former August 29 group are now having a reunion:thumbsup2

Joe

For those who do not know me. We are a family of five. Me (Joe); DW (Michelle); DD Natalia (19 at cruise date); DD Jenei (15 at cruise date) and Deyshia pronounced Deja like Deja Vou (11 at cruise date).

[jewelgrrl]

Can't believe all the DIS gang already booked! Hopefully by the time it gets here I'll be able to keep track of who's who. Definately the furthest out I've ever planned a trip.

Well, back to work tomorrow for me....Hopefully I don't day dream too much. :goodvibes

So how far in advance do you all put in for vacation? I'll feel kinda silly putting in 21 months in advance as I'm not even sure I'll still be there or what sort of changes will be made between now and then. I know one coworker who put in a request a year out for a vacation. Thoughts anyone??

[4everluvDisney]

Welcome, welcome to all our friends from our Aug 29/09 cruise. Looking forward to seeing all of you again.:grouphug:

[parlay]

Hey Parlay!!

Looks like our old thread over here!

I can't get over how many Aug 29th "alumni" there will be on this cruise! I'd like to say how cute our bracelets were and so handy for striking up a conversation!

[sdchickie]

Wow! this board is rocking already! I just booked this cruise with my dummy date from the Hallowonder cruise last month. There are 4 of us Me-Celebrating the big 4-0, DH-older than me, DD-Amber 14 on the cruise, and DS-Jake 10 on the cruise. Wow that's wierd thinking that my daughter will be a teenager! :scared1: I know this is really early but I'm in if we are doing a FE, my kids had such a great time with it on this last cruise. I like the name "Double Dipping Dreams before the School Bell Rings" that Texasgirl came up with! It fits my crew perfectly, I'm not even sure when our school starts that year because the calander is not out yet. I hope they don't miss the first day of school because we're on a cruise!

I'll post pics of the braclets from "Mickey's So Long Summer Cruise" for the folks to see.

For us in the northeast, school doesn't start until after Labor day.:headache:

[Maryrn11168]

That is soo funny!!! My kids have also called it!!!! My youngest, now 6, insist that he is sleeping there!!! The oldest is calling the top bunk!! just to join in the fun my husband and I called the bed!!!! :banana::banana:

I'm new to the board, but we're 8/29 alumni too (celebrated our 10th anniversary). We were hoping the Magic would stay in the US for the Summer of 2011, but 5 days with two stops in CC on the Dream is almost as good.

[HallsofVA]

I still haven't decided on a category or room yet. Still debating between 11C, 10A (if they come available again), 9B and 9A.

Okay, we finally decided. We booked a corner 9A room on deck 8 forward. I'm dying to know how that room will be configured!

[winnyis]

I was on the hallowwonder cruise also and booked my dummy reservation for this cruise too.

[sabrecmc]

We are in room 10500, cat 5A. It will be me, my mom and my then 5 year old daughter. I had my TA move us to that side of the ship so we're under the spa. Nice and quiet (I hope!).

[Dahly]

Hi All...sounds like quite of few of you already know each other from previous cruises, so I am guessing there are kids that have some built in friends for this trip.

My son asked yesterday if the kids would have a place to "talk" before the cruise..he met a few friends on the boards prior to our last trip and is interested in doing the same this time. If I have counted the posts correctly, there are already 12+ kids in the 11-13 range, which I think is the right ages for the tween club (which looks pretty cool). Last cruise, someone with a lot more skill than I :),set up a kid's website, so they could talk, but more privately than the disboards. Anyone interested, or would everyone be okay with a separate thread for the kids here?

My DS will be 13 at the time of the cruise (just a couple weeks shy of starting eight grade!! That sounds crazy since we have only put a dent in his sixth grade year!)

thanks for any thoughts!

Dahly

[elgerber]

We will be joining you! Just heard from my TA (a very brief 1 line e-mail, poor lady is drowning) that she got us on, a cat 6b and 11b, aft. It will be me, dh, ds 18 and dd 16. This is our second cruise, we did a 7 day eastern last October, with Hurricane Omar.

I'm so excited!!!

I am an idiot, I just realized I aged my dd by a year, she will only be 15 when we cruise!!! Thank goodness, she is growing up too fast as it is.

[Dahly]

my DS loves your Stitch..he said it looks like he is doing the "wave" with his behind!

My son is in the same scenario - just started 6th grade but will be 13 and just shy of starting 8th grade when we cruise. He is so excited about a teen club. We were on the wonder 2 weeks ago and he went to the club for about 1 hour total. He got so used to Ocean Quest on the Magic that he said the lab was for little kids.

[dmja716]

We will be joining you all:banana:

My name is Dana and it will be myself, my DH Ray and my DS Joseph who will be almost 7 at cruise time.

This will be our second Disney cruise.
We booked a Cat 6A #9176. I am so excited to have a verandah. I told my DH we booked an inside cabin so it's going to be a surprise when he walks into the room:laughing:

I look forward to getting to know everyone and to pass the next 21 months with.

My son will be 7 1/2 on this cruise so he'll likely be in the same group with your son unless they change the age bands.

[TinkTatoo]

This will be our 5th cruise so we will be gold castaway club members after this one.....

LOL Jackie, you'll be able to avoid all the panic and book early once you've got this cruise out of the way :goodvibes

I think the ship is going to be taken over by DIS'ers!

Looks like it will be a Lime Green ship :lmao:

Wow! this board is rocking already!.........I'm not even sure when our school starts that year because the calander is not out yet. I hope they don't miss the first day of school because we're on a cruise!

It does seem a lively thread already :goodvibes

I'm not sure when our school goes back here in Ireland but it probably won't be until 29th August so we'll have time for a couple of days at WDW after the cruise

[Maryrn11168]

Well over 90 posts and we don't sail for 21 months!!! Wow!! :thumbsup2

My DS Bobby will be 12 1/2 and about to start 7th grade, DD Catherine will be 1 month shy of her 10th birthday (5th grade), and Brian will be 8 (3rd grade)....OMG my baby!!!

I would love to have smone sort of chat room for my oldest son. He did not really like the Lab last year on the Magic. So I would love he made some friends before we sail!


Jackie.....I think we were on the same trip "Halloween on the High Seas" Oct 25th DD on the Magic!!! I think you brought me crunchie bars!!! Did I ever say THANKS??/ If not THANKS they were wonderful!!

[sdchickie]

Hi Winnyis! I thought I saw a couple of us Hallowonders here, I think SNicksed was on our cruise too! My kids would love to do a kids chat area if someone knows how to do that. Also if someone could make a list of everyone on here that would be cool too. I'm just not that computer savvy to be able to do those things! My kids didn't really get into the kids clubs that much on the last cruise but I'm hopeful that they will want to go there on this cruise. Maybe if they were chatting with other kids before the cruise that would help.

I am so excited for this cruise, and I still have one to go on first this Summer!

Hi all! Booked this cruise yesterday! 4th Disney cruise for us! Nice to see a couple of familiar faces here already!

[cruisinpenguin]

My son will be 7 1/2 on this cruise so he'll likely be in the same group with your son unless they change the age bands.


My son too will be 7 1/2 for this cruise as well. Maybe we can do a DIS-board meet the day we board before the lifeboat drill. We've done this in the past on our Magic cruises in the Promenade lounge and it's worked out well to meet up with everyone.....just a thought.

Awesome!

I have to admit that this is the first summer cruise we've ever booked, and I'm already noticing a much different, perhaps more vibrant, tone to the cruise than some of the others I've been on. It's great to see the large number of kids on this cruise just on the dis alone. I guess since we've always cruised during the school year, the number of kids has been generally lower.

We've also done DIS meets on the ship generally at 3pm in the Promenade lounge on embarkation day. Plus bracelets and t-shirt designs, and other fund ways to identify your fellow DISers! Has anyone come up with a name yet??

Oh yeah, it'll be me, DH, DS 7.5 and DD 4.75 on the cruise.

Yes!!! We just came off the 10/29 HalloWonder cruise, too! That was a great cruise with perfect weather! :worship:

Our DS Ryan will 12 and 3/4 when we sail. He wasn't into the lab much either. I think getting to know other kids ahead of time would help.

This is going to be a fun time leading up to this cruise! :thumbsup2

[Dahly]

I can't create a website, but I could create a Facebook group that the kids could use. We could set it up so an admin would need to approve who joins, and lock it down, so anyone that is not a member of the group could not view any of the info.

I don't know how comfortable I am having my son post info here on the boards, (although I know it should be okay, i am just never sure who is lurking) and I would feel better with a much more controlled page.

If enough are interested, I will happily get it set up, and then anyone that wants their kids involved, can send me a PM, and I would know who to approve on Facebook as a group member. Anyone who hasn't sent me a PM first on this board, would not be approved to join the group on Facebook. Other parents would be welcome to join, if you want to monitor your kid's conversations.

the only thing I guess some people might be uncomfortable with would be full names are used on Facebook, although you could create a "screen" name instead of using full name.

If I am overthinking this, and everyone is okay with a kids only thread here on the disboard, please say so!

other suggestions? or if there are any website gurus that are interested in building a site we can password protect, go for it!!

New York should be well represented on this cruise. I just booked a Cat 8b and got stateroom 9002 way up front. This will be our second cruise and the kids are very excited.

I am going to check out the cabanas on CC - hopefully they are not too over the top in price. I will have 14 members of my family going and a cabana might be a nice "home base" for CC

[LuvsBlueDiamonds]

Holy Posts! This group is awesome! I've got more friends booking today!!!:cool1:

My DD will be 9 when we cruise! OMG, where does the time go?!?!:confused3

We've done meets on past cruises. One was inside a lounge, not my fav. Who wants to be inside a dark bar when we're ready to sail out to sea.:confused:

Last cruise we did a meet at the Goofy pool. We sold 400 bracelets so we could i.d. each other. It was described as a roudy craps game with a woman drinking out of a bottle of champagne (that was me)!:drinking1:drinking1

I finally got a call for the biggest job of my life! I did a phone interview yesterday and have a face-to-face next week in NYC. Please keep your fingers crossed for me!!! I want this job so bad, I need this job so bad!!! I will be crushed if I don't get it. I'll take any and all advice...

The cabanas are a great idea!! We have some friends that are considering cruising with us..If we get a larger group I would consider it!! But since we are only silver CC members they will probably be gone by the time we get to book!! Those and the Palo ressie's!!

I figure the cabanas will be outrageous! The ones at WDW waterparks are $250 a day for 6. I bet at CC they will be a lot more!

Don't worry about booking Palo, we'll also have Remeys! I usually book the private room and have a dinner party with my DisPeeps! It's nice for the people who can't get reservations.

[kritter]

OK, should I be getting nervous? Are you a storm magnet? ;)

Yup, two cruises ago we got chased by Hurricane OMAR, this last cruise in Aug. we got an unplanned DD due to Hurricane Anna and Bill!!!

Last few cruises we had such a large group of people booked with our TA that she offered us a private Palo's or a private Welcome Aboard Cocktail reception. Looks, like several of us are rebooked with her again so hoping for her to give us this GREAT Ammenity again!!

[LuvsBlueDiamonds]

Kritter,

You and I will be in the same boat! I have rotten hurricane luck. We were on the famous Hurricane Jeanne cruise.

For those on the boards who don't know me, I do hurricane forecasting when we get within 30 days of our sail date. I call them my tropical updates. DH and I (unitl June) are TV people.

[kritter]

OMG, this cruise is going to be AWESOME............


Just got word that three more of our friends booked with our TA last night. She had such GREAT pricing that they could not beat it.............YEAH!!


My friend Jennifer is great at web-stie building she did it on our last cruise and it was the BEST site ever....Just an FYI......She will be on here later today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LuvsBlueDiamonds]

Speaking of TA's, OBC and all that good stuff.

I still have a 2010 Wonder cruise booked.

This cruise I booked through DCL. No discount, no OBC. Anyone have a good TA that gives deals and perks if I sell them the reservation? We normally use AAA for a $150 OBC. Not sure if they can offer that with the dream.

LOL, the last two cruises....we had "bad" luck it you want to call it that..........This last cruise though worked out two stops at CC. It was soo nice the itinerary was a bit rushed with so many ports, we did, CC, Cozumel, Cayman Islands, and back to CC. But it was GREAT!!

[winnyis]

I was also on a hurricane cruise - in 2004 - I was on the Magic that got extended to 10 days from 7 days due to all the hurricanes in Florida. It was great on my end but bad for the people who had the cruise after us booked as they got a shortened cruise.

Kritter - does your TA except transfers. I have 4 ressies booked for my family - all through DCL directly. I didnt want to leave it to a TA to get them initially booked because I didnt know where on their lists we would be. But if I can get my family some extra OBC that would be great.

on the 2004 cruise the seas were like glass. They kept us out in the western caribbean far away from the storms. The only time it got a little rough was the last night going back around Florida.

[kritter]

Good luck on the job Michele!!




That cocktail party was so much fun!!

It was FUN. She is going to see what she can get this time with it being a new ship she is unsure but I know she will work her MAGIC!!

[LuvsBlueDiamonds]

Thanks Ladies for the messages! I'll call her.

Need to get my butt moving! Heading to Macy's to meet with my stylist. Need a killer interview outfit!!!!

A big thank you to any Veterans onboard!

Enjoy the day!!!!

Nope, we are near Albany. About 20-30 min. from LuvsBlueDiamonds. Closer to Saratoga Springs.

Hello Everyone! We are joining in!

It will be myself, DH, DD (15 when we cruise) and DS (11 when we cruise). This will be our 3rd cruise and we can't wait!

On our last cruise, I created a website for our group that was really helpful. If anyone is interested, I am willing to do it again for this group. I had lists of who was cruising, information for kids to contact one another, our fish exchange list, great information about cruising, pages for each person who wanted to have a family page so we can get to know one another, etc. I know it was really helpful for my family and like I said, if people are interested, I will set one up for this cruise as well.

Have a happy day everyone!
Jen

[sdchickie]

Ok, this board is way to hoppin' after I went to bed last night you all added like 5 more pages!!!! Ok, so I did go to bed early. I'm cool with any chat room you guys want to set up for the kiddos but if we do facebook someone will have to walk me through getting an account there. Did I mention I'm not that good with computers? :confused3 Bracelets, Dis meets, and FE's oh my! I can't wait to do all of that great stuff! I think that's why I book with Disney instead of another cruise line. I guess that's what the board will do to ya!

[sdchickie]

Jen, that would be great to have all the info in one place. The family pages sound cool too then we can get to know all the others that we haven't met on previous cruises.

I think a website is a great idea so we dont have to weed through what is sure to be TONS of posts by the time we actually cruise.

[hockeyprincess]

Booked a surprise trip (so far!) for me, DH, DS--11 when we travel, DD--7 when we travel, we're booked 9A, room 8506 so far!

This will be our first Disney cruise and I'm so excited about it!! I would like to do something summer 2010 but holy cow :scared1: the prices!!! Might consider RCCL or Carnival (kids LOVE the kids club on Carnival) for Summer 2010. (Sorry Disney! Bring the prices down and I'll book!! ;))

Hoping and trying to get a few friends and their families to join us, we'll see!

Wanted to thank LuvsBlueDiamonds for the invite to join here!!

[SNicksed]

Welcome new people! :wave2: Wow, what a big group!! :woohoo:

I am in for the web page. What a nice offer, Jen. Thanks!

For those on the boards who don't know me, I do hurricane forecasting when we get within 30 days of our sail date. I call them my tropical updates. DH and I (unitl June) are TV people.

Maybe the two of you will cancel each other out. :rotfl:

[jd99]

Jeff, who did you use to book the cruise??

Booked myself via DCL. We are onboard in a couple of weeks so I am going to see if I can rebook to get discount and credit and THEN I will transfer it to Carol!

What cat. did you book? When in Dec. are you going to WDW? We are going too!!

[LisaWalkerC21]

Love the website idea! I am exhausted just trying to keep up with all the posts already! I am bringing two families with us on the cruise who have never cruised before. I am not sure they really believe me when I tell them how enthusiastic Disney Cruisers really are - wait until I put them onto this thread! They already think I am a nut with how obsessed I have been over the years with planning Disney cruises.:banana:

Looking forward to getting to know everyone - what a great group! :yay:

I am exhausted just trying to keep up with all the posts already!

I so totally agree!!!!

[LuvsBlueDiamonds]

Let's do the math...

since midnight there have been 66 posts and the day is not over.

we're 643 days from sailing.

643 x 66 = 42,438 posts by August 16, 2011 give or take a few THOUSAND!!!

We booked 4D for this cruise. May change to a porthole though as the kids are intrigued by the seating in the porthole. I hate to give up my verandah but it would save a few bucks!

We will be at WDW Dec. 27 - Jan. 2. How about you?

Okay that is a riot! :rotfl: So who is going to be the one to think of the cool name for our cruise?! I think we need to start throwing out some ideas...:confused3 hmmmm....

Jd99 if you stay in Category 4D, we will probably be neighbors :yay:

we'll be at SSR on the 5th post-cruise. :)

[sdchickie]

We'll be at WDW the 29th of Nov. to the 6th of Dec. We're staying at CSR then PORiverside for the last night. I've never stayed at either resort so I'm excited to do those. Anyone interested in a meet since some of us will be down there at the same time?

[jenanderson]

We are so excited! After working with the TA today, we have our 2 rooms booked! We will have 1 for the kids and 1 for DH and me!!!! All the deposits are done and I have confirmation numbers!

I had decided last night after seeing the price form our TA. This morning, I asked her to check on the price of 2 rooms and decided to just go ahead and book it that way instead!

So, as I said, last cruise I did our cruise website and if people want...I will do this one as well. I can start it right away but just need to hear from people. I would password protect the site and people can send me a PM to get the log in information. It was such a great help for our last cruise and I think it could be wonderful again! Let me know what you all think and I will get started ASAP!

I think it's a great idea, do you want PM's with our info? What info do you want?

[winnyis]

I say go for it. It will help us get aquainted over the next year and a half and have a place that we can get all our plans in one place.

I can already tell this is gonna be a great cruise just by how outgoing everyone is.

I am booked on the 4/11/2010 cruise for DH and DD's birthdays and there is only 2 pages of posts total!!!!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

[sdchickie]

JD99 are you going to Disney for New Years Eve? We were there last year and it was the BEST fireworks I have ever seen! They do the same fireworks on Dec. 30th as well, go watch them twice if you can.

[jenanderson]

I think it's a great idea, do you want PM's with our info? What info do you want?

Here are some of the things you can PM to me:
• names (and ages of kids) of everyone in the cabin
• stateroom number
• dining rotation
• where you are from
• celebrations you will have while onboard
• let me know if you want your own family page (I will give you more information if you want this - it is fun to create these!)
• will you be doing more than the cruise (like WDW before or after)?
• do you want to be a part of the fish exchange?

I will be adding more but this is a great start! Share as much or as little as you want in your PM and I will create the pages!

• let me know if you want your own family page (I will give you more information if you want this - it is fun to create these!)
• will you be doing more than the cruise (like WDW before or after)?
• do you want to be a part of the fish exchange?

I will be adding more but this is a great start! Share as much or as little as you want in your PM and I will create the pages!

Jen - when you get the page set up I will post a link to it in the first post of the thread - thanks for taking this on.

:santa::santa:We are going Dec. 4-9th and then headed back in Feb. for a surprise trip for the twins' Birthday!!

We'll be in WDW from Dec 4 - 10th then we're doing a 3 day Wonder cruise from 12/10 - 12/13 returning back home on 12/14. Can't wait for this trip only 23 days!!:yay::yay: :santa:

[jenanderson]

Just a note - when you send me the ages for the kids, please send me the age they will be at the time we cruise. Thanks!

I already have 3 pages done and am quickly getting some more in place. They will be a bit bare at first but I am pretty quick to fill in the information! :goodvibes

We will be in WDW Dec 3-6th then taking the 4N cruise on the Wonder. Back to WDW on the 10th-19th. If anyone is planning on a get together let me know. We are going to do some of the events that WDW Today Reunion 2009 have planned. Anyone doing any of those?

[kritter]

We are so excited! After working with the TA today, we have our 2 rooms booked! We will have 1 for the kids and 1 for DH and me!!!! All the deposits are done and I have confirmation numbers!

I had decided last night after seeing the price form our TA. This morning, I asked her to check on the price of 2 rooms and decided to just go ahead and book it that way instead!

So, as I said, last cruise I did our cruise website and if people want...I will do this one as well. I can start it right away but just need to hear from people. I would password protect the site and people can send me a PM to get the log in information. It was such a great help for our last cruise and I think it could be wonderful again! Let me know what you all think and I will get started ASAP!

Jen

Jen, Love the idea!! Last cruise I LOVED the web-site that you had created for us~~!!

Jen,
Thank you so much for doing this.

We all will know so many faces by the time we get on the ship:)

I started keeping a list of all the Dis names and info if you want me to PM that to you along with my information.

Goodnight all:)

[jd99]

Us too...Lets plan to say hello!!:thumbsup2:thumbsup2

Definitely. We'll be completely zoned since we'll have just gotten off the ship.


JD99 are you going to Disney for New Years Eve? We were there last year and it was the BEST fireworks I have ever seen! They do the same fireworks on Dec. 30th as well, go watch them twice if you can.

We were at WDW last year at the same time but didn't dare go to the MK on NYE. The crowds on the big days like that just make us crazy so we go to the parks early AM and then GET OUT. However, I think we have dinner reservations on the 30th at California Grill so we will get to see the show that night!

Wow this thread is fun already.

Great Jeff, before you leave we can exchange cell numbers and at least say a quick hello~~

[jenanderson]

I just put our website up! It is missing a lot to start but I will add information as quickly as I can. If you sent me a PM, expect one in return with the information you need to access the website.

If you sent me information for a family page or other things I did not respond to yet, I will be getting to that in a day or so.

Please let me know if you see any mistakes or if you have any suggestions. I want it to be a helpful site for everyone!

Also, if you sent me a PM and I did not get back to you, give me 24 hours. If you still have not heard from me, send me another message. I try to be as quick as I can but sometimes I get a lot of PMs at once and even though I try to be careful...I do miss some. Sorry in advance if I miss yours!

Thanks!
Jen

[allardk46]

Love the website idea! I am exhausted just trying to keep up with all the posts already! I am bringing two families with us on the cruise who have never cruised before. I am not sure they really believe me when I tell them how enthusiastic Disney Cruisers really are - wait until I put them onto this thread! They already think I am a nut with how obsessed I have been over the years with planning Disney cruises.:banana:

Looking forward to getting to know everyone - what a great group! :yay:

Was on the last cruise with Jen and the web site was terrific. :worship:

Let's do the math...

since midnight there have been 66 posts and the day is not over.

we're 643 days from sailing.

643 x 66 = 42,438 posts by August 16, 2011 give or take a few THOUSAND!!!

Last cruise with some of this crew we had 5 threads - boy do we all like to talk!!!!:rotfl2::rotfl2:

We are so excited! After working with the TA today, we have our 2 rooms booked! We will have 1 for the kids and 1 for DH and me!!!! All the deposits are done and I have confirmation numbers!

Thanks for all the compliments about the website! It is really not hard...it just takes me a bit of time.:surfweb:

Right now I do not like our site because I loved how much there was on the last one...in time I will love this one but I just need to get going on adding all the information for us.

I am also so excited to be cruising with friends again! I had so much fun last time and I am sure we will all have that much fun together again.

We are REALLY excited about 2 rooms! :cool1: Even though they are inside staterooms, we are thinking we will feel almost like we have a suite as we will be able to really spread out across the 2 rooms.

I did update everyone who sent me PMs during the night...have a great day everyone!
