Hi Jayne We will also get an updated RM list ahead of time? I've never done the RM so just curious if we'll know ahead of time who is confirmed to participate. Thanks

Did anyone else get their Mickey Mail yet??? I'm hoping if not, then soon, very SOON!!!

I was reading on another site for another line a trip report for the first sailing to Alaska which was the end of April I believe. They had quite a bit of snow still in the towns and more than usual I hear. I'm hoping in the next month, it will warm up and things will start to bloom. If I've learned anything it's that we can't control the weather but it would surely be nice to have it nice while we are there.

Thank you to everyone who signed up for the MUFE! I think we have a good sized group, not to big and not to small. I will update the spreadsheet over the weekend and have it posted on our facebook page as soon as possible. Let me know if you are not on facebook, pm me your email and I will get it to you. I can't figure out how to post it here. I will also be informing those who are only in the Roaming Mickey. Have a great weekend!!!

I know we may be too late, but would like to like to join the MUFE group,if possible! This is our 3rd disney cruise and we've never does a fish extender group before. Now that my daughter is 11, we think it would be great fun ! I will provide my info. in case you have room left or someone drops out.
We are HAPPY, HAPPY that we wil be cruising next month. Can't wait!! love all the insider scoop we've learned just tonight on this site. Wish we would have known sooner.
There will be three of us: me, husband, and daughter , age 11
Stateroom:2054

Also, I would love for my daughter to penpal/email others before the cruise. She is an only child and I would love for her to meet other kids to hang out with on the cruise! She is 11 years old and is really excited about Alaska. With several days at sea, I would love for her to have some pals!

Anyone have any tips/suggestions for cruising with an infant? DD will be about 6 months. Also was the time difference a challenge with kids? We live in the midwest...I'm worried my kiddos (who go to bed at 7:30pm, and are up at 6:30am) will have a rough time. Thanks!

Every cruise we've been on, by the time it was time for bed, my kids were so worn out from the days activities and the excitement, that bedtime was not an issue, despite the time change. Wish I could answer about your DD, but I've never cruised with an infant.

On our first cruise, my son was still an infant (I can't remember how little he was, but he was for sure under a year). My daughter was 6. I was a little nervous about the time change, since we have a very regular rutine for bedtime, but like the other poster said...by the time you're done with dinner, everyone's ready for some rest!
For my son, I didn't have too much concern, other than where he would sleep. The beds are so small, that I didn't really want him in the bed with us...even though that's where he ended up... : We opted to not do a playpen, since the rooms are so small, and instead had them bring in a bed rail and he went to sleep on the bottom bunk while my daughter was on the top bunk. Like I said, that lasted until he woke up the first time, then he was in bed with me...and if memory serves me well, hubby ended up in the bunk.

HTH...

Welcome! We also have an only child (he's 9.5) and he doesn't go to the kids club too much since he is with us 95% of the time. He will definitely check it out and we have a Palo Brunch booked so he'll go to the club during that time too. He doesn't email right now but I wanted to say, "I understand your situation".

I haven't cruised with an infant, however my DS has about the same sleep schedule you just mentioned. He is usually in bed by 8pm on school/week nights and the weekend, maybe 9pm. The reason being - he wakes up at 6am every day! We are flying in two days before the cruise to Vancouver to adjust to the time different from the East Coast so hopefully this helps. We know we won't sleep 100% like we do at home, but we try not to overdo it. We are doing a lot more excursions on this cruise so I expect we will all crash at night!

Hi there!

I just discovered this site! We are going on our first Disney Cruise and are so excited. Is it too late to join for the FE? Or the roaming mickey? We would like to do both. We have two staterooms and 7 people cruising. I understand if it is too late, but at any rate we would love to meet up with some of you on the cruise. I won't post our info until I know if we can join (or not).

Thanks!

Got our Mickey Mail yesterday. Can't wait, clock is ticking.

 

[Scleary]

Thanks for the advice! I'm guessing my DS will adjust ok--run on adrenaline and mickey excitement, then crash. Planning on nap times for sure!
