600 Days
We're getting closer!!! Lol!!!
600 Days
My friend and I will be joining this cruise!!! This will be my second Disney cruise, and her first. Im excited to have her participate in all the fun! We decided to make it a girls only trip. Still saving up for the deposit, but this is the offical group we want to be apart of!
Going on cruise: Me(Alicia), and Karla
I was going to join this cruise with my 10yo for her mommy and me trip. I was wondering if any of you are worried about hurricane season. I think I scared her when I mentioned it was less expensive because of the potential hurricanes.
We've done 4 Disney cruises during hurricane season. Our anniversary and DD birthday both fall in Sept (and of course we like the low rates.) Sometimes the itinerary changes, so I recommend you avoid any locked in plans at specific ports... and book your excursions through Disney for easy modifications. Our first cruise started a few days late so we ended up with a day at WDW. Trip insurance paid for everything... the hotel, the food ... just not the park tickets
Needless to say, we keep cruising in September

Melissa - will Gracie be 14 or 15 on the cruise? I'm wondering if she'll be in The Edge tween club with Sabrina.
Did you do the insurance through the Disney cruise site? Im debating weither to include it or not. Sounds like it would be a good idea to!

Gracie will be 13 on the cruise. When I did their ages, I used the ages they will be at that time. So she will be in the Edge with Sabrina!! She's not ever really been into the clubs that much, I'm hoping this time she will get into it a little more. Last time, she wasn't old enough for the Edge, but they let her in the last few days. She really loved it. For this time, Genny will be in Vibe, and now Gracie wants to be in Vibe too. She only wants what her sister has lol!
That's great... both our girls will be 13!!!
Before our last cruise, I set Sabrina up with a DISboards account, and we started a KIDS ONLY thread. It worked out PERFECT.
When we arrived at the curb of the cruise terminal, DH Chuck spotted a tween girl wearing a Raiders jersey. It was Sabrina's DISfriend Sierra! From then on, the girls were together most of the trip and often with some other DIStweens. Sabrina continues to post with her DISfriends. Actually we're meeting up with Sierra and her mom later this month... this time at California Adventure!
Sabrina and I will set up a KIDS ONLY thread tomorrow, and we can get the girls chatting. Hopefully a number of kids of various ages will join in. It was nice for the kids to have their own thread, so they could talk about school and favorite Disney characters.
