I watch the countdown also!

Looks like you get a Mickey fix soon. Your signature says that you go to DL in less than 2 weeks. I am jealous! Have fun

Yes we are very excited to head to Disneyland in just over a week. Headed to Cali for a wedding and decided to add on those Disney days since we missed our annual Disney trip last year. We are hoping a studio comes through at the Grand Californian but it isn't looking too good, we do have a reservation at the Disneyland Hotel though.

pixie dust for GCV. Someday I would like to stay there also. It is a small resort and tough to get into at 7months so I may never get to stay there.
Have a great trip and say hi to Mickey

Hello Veronica, Bryan, and Logan!

 

[chrystine]

Just dropping in to say HI since I haven't been on lately. I hope everyone is well!

Have any of you made pre-cruise plans? I am going over all of the options, we plan to fly in on Friday or Sarurday and I am not sure if we should stay at the airport or try the Country inn and Suites or Residence inn. I think I am on information overload!! what to do, what to do??

 

[CO_Mickey]

I am also on information overload...there is so much to learn! I have a friend going on the Dream in 2 weeks and I can't wait to hear all about her trip!

I did just order a 9" Vinylmation for signatures while on our cruise next year. The DisneyStore.com had them for 14.99 and I have seen several on these boards that have been signed and thought it would be a great idea!

We're confirmed for this cruise, so it's time to start the DISboard thing! We have done 3 previous Valentines cruises on the Magic (one debarked the 14th, so it barely counts), but this year we switched things up. We just returned from the 11 day "Magic in the Med", which was just amazing. Told the kids about the Dream plans just before debarking - priceless!

We are Colleen, DH David, DS Kieran (one month shy of 15 on cruise), DD Jenna (one month shy of 12), and introducing DMIL Vicki to her first cruise!

Some mixed emotions about sailing on the Dream... excitement of course, but we've grown attached to the Magic, and know so many of the crew quite well, it will be strange to be away! Also our first short cruise - we'll have to tack on time in Orlando obviously, just to justify the airfare from Ottawa!

We started the Med cruise with a DISboard 'meet' in one of the lounges - as the sailing date approaches, how about let's plan one for this cruise?

Oh yes! That would be great

Welcome aboard another Loveboat sailing LOL !!!!!!

So, we have sailed with you twice before including the ill fated "6 day Western" and in 2008 when we got married on Grand Cayman !...we've also done a Valentine cruise , but on the Wonder 2006.
My DS is 14 (almost 15 on the cruise) - I wonder if they will know each other by now !?

Coincidentally, we are doing the 10 night Med in 5 weeks too...

I'm surprising my kids and DH ....as what they won't know (hopefully) until they get off...is that we are getting right back on for another 3 days .......4 days is way too short, and we want to explore the new ship

Yes we should try to meet up first day....that is always a fun experience.

I know it's still a ways off, but I just can't contain my excitement. We are starting to plan our days at WDW after the cruise. Looking forward to "meeting" everyone on the cruise. I like the idea of a "meet" in one of the lounges.

welcone new cruisers!

A meet would be wonderful! I am soo excited for this cruise! My kids are sick of listening to me talk about it! Hopefully we will get a few more cruisers join here as we get closer.

Hi All! I will be joining you solo on this cruise. I am actually booked on the 5/27/12 5-night Dream that I am treating my parents to for their 30th anniversary, but if I squeezed in 1 more cruise before that, I would be Castaway Gold level for the May cruise, so I couldnt pass up the opportunity to squeeze one in. I usually have a verandah stateroom and will continue to make that my norm, but wanted to squeeze in the cheapest cruise possible so I'm in an inside room this time. I'm looking forward to a change though and think the virtual porthole will be cool. I got such a great deal booking the inside room onboard and with discount and OBC, and I'll have a free plane ticket with my miles/points, the price for the whole thing was just too good to pass up!

I am actually looking forward to going alone as well. I want to really take the time to enjoy the ship and all the activities instead of focusing on what everyone else wants to do when you travel with companions. Looking forward to meeting everyone though and love any DIS activities like the cruise meet and the Fish Extenders!
