I never doubted it, Mark!!!Patience is a virtue!
Of course Mandy and I will be there!
Cruising Disney. 'nuf said.
Okay - I just got off the phone with DCL. I didn't mention this thing called the DISboards - she did. She said they do read it - and are amused, but also amazed at how much we get right before we "officially" are told. Very nice chat with a CM - and you know that is not always the case.
Expect several weeks before the 2013 Magic & Wonder dates and itineraries are released. They are still training/educating the CMs, as it is a bit complicated - I think Mary's hit it on the head with the varying cruise schedules.
As far as Venice, I am piecing together information I gather from here and there.
And expect great new destinations in the future with Disney - far away places - maybe not in 2013, but they are coming. Keep filling up those piggy banks!
Just found out that the thread had already been started for this "possible" cruise. COUNT US IN!!!!
I really, really hope this cruise happens!

Yes Crystal you must! We don't bite, but we (or should I say I) can get a bit confused when early mornings & bad hangovers are involved! That was so funny on the Dolphin boat.
The last stop in Villefranche is sept 2. I think the Magic go in drydock then for about 6 weeks and then go on the WBTA? And the drydock is in Venice told Lynne. So it may be possible to leave from Venice for the WBTA?
That would kill two birds with one stone ... Venice and WBTA in one wonderful cruise
Ok... burning question time.
For all you folks that got guaranteed cabins last time, were you happy with the cabin you got?
We were an inside on Deck 6 last time, and loved it! However I remember that a guaranteed Oceanview was actually running for a little bit less than what we paid for the inside. Our TA couldn't get it changed for some reason, so before we sign on again, I'm just checking our options. A little extra space is always a plus when you've got 4 in a cabin!
So, your thoughts on the guaranteed cabins?
Good! My mother was your Secret Mickey and (I found out afterward) you were ours, so I wanted to say thanks. We tend to be a bit shy, too, but somehow the interaction online makes it much easier to talk to people onboard .WOW can't believe how many of us are planning to go. Goal for the next few years, I will not try to be so shy and attended more dis activities. Love to see all the familar faces.
I just keep a box in the spare bedroom and as I collect things I need for the cruise (eg: toiletries, fish extender gifts etc) I pop them in there until it's time to pack.
......we are all obsessed!
Hi Melodie .... great to see you on board so to speak .... what about Dave and Amy? I think Kimberly is interested too

One of my first thoughts was what to give for FE's....the gifts rec'd last year were so fantastic, I have to up my game!
I'm interested in the WBTA. I'm disneydee27 and DW Christy.

1. You guys were awesome Secret Mickey's, too! You had our "likes" pegged perfectly. I felt sorry for our recipients - ours seemed a bit lame by comparison.
2. Guess I'd better get started crocheting those toilet paper covers again.
3. Totally off topic (I say this because we never, ever, go off topic here ). I should know better than to audition for a play when I haven't read the script. I got cast, then came home and read it. By the time I got to the end I was thinking, "Wow, this is really stupid, even for a farce." I mean, farce is supposed to be funny and implausible, but not stupid. Oh well. The show I really want to do goes up after this one, and it's been a while since I've been onstage, so I guess I'll just think of this as getting my acting chops back in shape. Besides, people here are so culture-deprived they'll love it, regardless. Not to mention the fact that I'll get a bit of turn-about on Dennis. All those nights I was the "theatre widow" while he was off playing stage manager - now it's his turn. (Uh oh, I just realized - our poor dogs are going to starve.)

Count us in Mike and Lexi. So excited. Husband is from Croatia and used to work on RCI and said it would be very tight to make it from Venice in 2 days. Ship will most likely go empty to the embarkation port.
That would kill two birds with one stone ... Venice and WBTA in one wonderful cruise.
Hey Peggy, how are you, I hope your holidays were great. Isn't this fun, even though we know nothing. It is bringing us all back together again, love that.
When are you two going to WDW. I am going Feb. 7th for 3 days. Did you meet Josh who was at our dinner table? He's just a hoot and a young whipper snapper, anyway he is going to be a Conservation Education Presenter at Animal Kingdom starting next week. I want to give him lots of support from our group.
It's good to see you here, hugs to you both.
Evelyn
Thanks.. Also thank you for the wonderful gifts as well. I know this cruise will be alot easier than the first year. My DH is supper excited and also wants to partake with all the fun..
Hmmm, I need to find out about the Champagne Girls.....
I was just having a look at the Villefranche dates for next year. DCL is really mixing it up. Last year was alternating 10 and 11 night med cruises from Barcelona to Valletta, Palermo, Naples, Civitavecchia, Ajaccio and Villefranche and then they changed in August to 7 night itineraries.
This really doesn't tie in with the dates posted on the port schedule, so it's definitely not going to be like last year. It looks like there may be shorter cruises and the big 12 day gaps may mean that they can go a bit farther afield???? Nip round to the eastern side of Italy instead of Civitavecchia and Naples ..... we can but live in hope.
