I have been on 18 DCL cruises (DH Dave has been on 15 - I went on 3 girls' only cruises!). In January 2014, we are doing B2B Wonder cruises - January 24 and 29; we get off the Wonder in Miami, staying overnight at DVC Vero Beach, then board the Magic on February 3 and staying on for the February 7th sailing. Then, I have to get out of cruise mode as we head to DVC Hilton Head for 2 nights, then head to Morgantown, WV to spend time with 2 of our 6 grandkids and their parents before heading home to mid-Michigan. We are also booked on the 11/1/14 Fantasy. We were supposed to be on the Vancouver to LA repo and the PC this September but had to cancel, so that is why we are doing B2Bs.
I see you live in the Orlando area. How fun! Are you a CM?

I am not a CM, but I wish I was! I'm a little west of Clermont, so Disney is an easy day trip, but to work there would be a little far. Although my DH's cousin lives nearby and she works there... and his sister lives in Orlando and works there as well. I've yet for them to offer us any perks yet (and I know they have them!). I'm going to have to bribe them with cookies lol. And wow @ 18... I wish we had started earlier than 2006 with DCL, we may have been there already too. We wanted to go on a cruise as early as 2001, but we always thought they were out of financial reach. Boy, were we wrong! With a lot of research we realized they are very feasible and quite often if you play your cards right. We have had a lot of opportunity with living in FL too, we've taken advantage of great FL residents rates and we are pretty close to PC so it helps. Last year when we went to Alaska I was a little out of my element! I didn't realize the planning and such it takes to go on a cruise for everyone else. The airfare, hotels, car rentals... it took quite a lot of planning. Sometimes I don't realize how easy I have it with living close to the port. Have you been to DVC Vero Beach before? We went a few years ago for my birthday, and it was quite wonderful. We left on the Wonder out of Miami this past March, and I loved it. I liked the change of scenery. We left around sunset, and it was awe inspiring to see the city from the end of the channel. An "AHHH" moment .
Wow, 13 cruises! Awesome!! We can't wait to try the Aqua Dunk as well and I'm kinda excited to try the new Mickey slide as well. I think I just make the height requirement max by 1/4 of an inch
OMG, what is the height restriction? I want to go on that one too! *pout* I'm rather short at 62 inches tall, so I'm hoping I made the cut lol.
