How very wonderful for you and your family - very cute idea to make the big announcement!Hi All--
We just booked, and the first thing I always do after booking is find the thread for our cruise.Haven't had a chance to read through everybody's introductions, but will plan to do that this evening.
Booking this late is pretty typical for my wife and I, since we are FL Residents from Orlando. The last minute deals for us are usually pretty sweet, so we're always the latecomers to the group. Last year, we booked on May 2 for our cruise on May 10, so we're not cutting it THAT close this time.
As I said, we are from Orlando, we live about 15 minutes north of WDW, so to say we are regulars is an understatement. We like the relief of living so close to the parks, because we can just go in for dinner and not feel pressured to cram in a full days visit. HOWEVER, when we visit DL or DLP, we are definitely the ones there for 18 hours straight each day. Ha!
Anywho, typically we do 2-3 DCL cruises a year, but this will be the first one since last May since we had a baby! We came back last year just before the 24-week cutoff by DCL, so we've been DYING to get back on board since this is the longest we've ever gone. Our son actually ended up arriving 3 months early, RIGHT after our "babymoon" ended, so after a long NICU stay plus adjusting to having a baby at home, we're ready for a vacation!
So, it's Anthony (that's me), I'll be 33 this Saturday, my wife Tiffany, who turned 31 last Sunday, and introducing Greyson Oliver, who will be 10 months when we sail (7 months adjusted).
Looking forward to interacting with you guys, I need to ask my wife if she feels up to FEs this year.
Here's some fun magnets we had on our door last time:
Hey guys! Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be busy for a bit.
When I'm on my ipad, it's difficult to update, so I'll only be updating when I have free time to use my laptop
I'll update the FE tomorrow-ish and then after that, you probably won't hear from me until the 21st!
Final projects and stuff for the end of the quarter
To all of the new families! I'm so excited that you're joining us!

I have a spreadsheet that I've put together that I can share once we close our the group. There are still so many changes that it's probably better to share at the end of the month.
What a cute idea!We're in 9544!
We'll have a whiteboard on the door, so come leave us a note!
We are #10552 !
Looking forward to the yummy drink lolHi Everyone! I'm back! Thank you so much for the info on St. Maarten. We opted to do the French Riviera excursion for some beach time and lunch. Hoping to get to know you guys as we lead up to our sail date! Anyone have boys within the same age range as ours? (8 (2nd grader); 4 (KG-to be))? Hope so! I'm nervous as we are pretty new to this whole process, but you're all so friendly and excited about this incredible week we all have coming up. I'm so glad we found you!

Thank you so much for facilitating such a fun activity! So excited to get to know our fellow Cruisers
Hi, I also have an 8 year old son, Alexander. He is the 3rd grade. He is our only child so I am sure he will be looking to make some new friends since he is very social. I think we are on that same excursion, if you booked it through Disney. We did a different one last time we stopped in St. Maarten on the Fantasy so hopefully this one is better. (It was Golden Eagle Catamaran and we definitely would not recommend it nor do it again.)
Still have another project due
