Very cool! So I assume by your picture you just have the one boy? How old is he?

This cruise will be myself, DW, DD (then 9), and DS (then 19 months).

It will be our second Disney cruise, first one we just got off of last week on the Magic.

He's my dgs but travels with us on most of our trips. He will be 12 for this cruise. After the Med cruise this summer this will be our 12th cruise. Not sure if dh or dd will be going.

Where are you from? We're from the Atlanta area.

We live in Cincinnati, cold weather is hitting us pretty hard right now...

I've only ever passed through Atlanta, driving a few times and laying over a number of times.

Sunny here but cold!

Will it be your spring break when you cruise?

Yup, DD's spring break that week. It will be nice doing a spring break cruise again. We've done them for years, but skipping this year because we did the Magic a few days ago. We were waiting for the 2013-2014 calendar to be released so we could book this.

Being from Atlanta, do you guys drive or fly to Canaveral? We're leaning towards driving now, so might need some recommendations on hotels/parking if you know anything.

We do both depending on if we are going other places too. We usually stay at the Residence Inn. They let you leave your car but you have to pay for the shuttle so we take a cab. Both the Radisson and Country Inn and Suites have parking and free shuttle service. They are all located next to each other.

Woo Hoo! We booked this the date when it was released and I'm so glad a meet thread is finally starting.
We cruised spring break 2012 on the Dream, and we really wanted to cruise spring break on the Fantasy this year, 2013, but we opted for a Mediterranean cruise in June 2013 instead, much to the dismay of my 13 yr old who has so many friends who will be on the spring break cruise this year. But, instead I promised her we'd be on the Fantasy for spring break 2014! Hopefully some of her friends who are on this year will rebook on board for this cruise.
It will be myself, DH, and DD's who will be 14 and 11. We will make gold status on this cruise, which I am so excited about. Also we make a 'grand slam' of having been on all 4 ships. I never thought our family would enjoy DCL as much as we do.
Thanks again for starting the thread - hope it moves to the official meet board soon.

We will be on the first voyage of the season, June 1st-8th. You must be on the 12 day then, it sounds awesome! We would have loved a longer trip but with time off work, kids summer camp, and everything else, June 1st just worked out best. Have you done a Med cruise before?

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list

Have a great cruise!

[mom4fun]

Hi, this will be our third Disney cruise but first seven day. It will be me, my DH and DS, who will be 13 then. Also, our friends will be joining us with their 4children. I am very excited about a longer cruise and the exciting shore excursions. Happy to be joining all of you for spring break 2014.

We booked while on The Dec.23, 2012 sailing of wonder out of Miami. This will be our second Disney Cruise. We are from Chicago. At sail time out girl will be 8 and our boy 5. Been on a couple dozen cruises, and have to say, we are sold on Disney!!!

Nice to see the newcomers... this meet is starting to take shape.

Welcome guys!
