Monstro- DUH!!!! I didn't even realize you could click on photos. I was just so amazed with your lyrics. I thought I was finally catching up with this technology stuff. Here I am back at square one. Thanks!!!


Grandma Debby- guess what I'm a teacher too and Dawn is our PCNC (parent community network center) person and so much more... her husband and her are very involved in our school. I'll let her tell you more.

I just checked the disney cruiseline website, and our ship is sold out!! It's gonna be a FULL ship!

Scratch that - when I put in a reservation for 2 adults, 2 kids 9 & 5, nothing came up, but when I put in for just 2 adults, almost all of the categories came up 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, & 12. After fooling around with different kids ages it seems as though the kids club is filled for ages 4-9. If I put 2 adults and an 11 year old, our sailing also comes up......just fyi!

Do you think this means that we might be able to get an upgrade then? I won't hold my breath, but it sure would be nice!!!

Hello all,

Have been searching on Cruise Critic for months, and have gotten very little activity. We booked this cruise August, 2004 after we returned from Disneyworld. Will be on cruise with DW and our 2 grandchildren, GS 5 (turning 6 1 week after we get back from cruise) and GD 3.5. They are both soooo excited about this cruise, it's all they have been talking about for months.

DW and I started cruising a few years ago, but this is 1st Disney Cruise. Our daughter and son-in-law are cruising the Med for 10th anniversary, so we decided to be brave and thake grandkids on Disney Cruise, particularly since it's right here on Left Coast.

We are early seating because kids are early eaters....

DW and I have question for seasoned Disney Cruisers: We love dancing, and figure there are "adult only" dance lounges onboard for nighttime activity. Anyone know about the accomodations for the kids in the evening so we can get away for a few hours?

Booked excursions: PV swim with dolphins and then will tour city and hang out at beach. Mazatlan we are on same excursion as Grandma Debbie...Nothing yet for CSL....I may go diving there and hook up with the rest at the beach.

I wouldlove to access the picture site and get some pix of us up there. Also, will plan to meet with everyone at designated "meet" site.

Great to finally find this thread.

Great to have you here! I'll PM the picture password and my email address so you can access the photo album and send pictures.

StewieL,

This would be fun for you. Go to this thread to get a postcard sent to your grandkids from Mickey - telling them how excited he is to have them coming on a Disney Cruise.

I just read a great idea from another thread - they are having their kids bring postcards from home to share with the other kids - what a great idea - can you tell I'm a teacher? what do you think?

My two younger kids collect key chains and post cards from states. Anyone want to build on this?

Helloo all,

Thanks for the reply. Sent a picture of DW and the grandkids for the album. It's a few months old, but the only one of the 4 of us I could find.

Also, thanks for the link regading postcard to the kids from one of the characters. I know that will be a big hit.

Welcome Stewart....we have a list of all our DIS meets people and the kids and the ages. I'll go and update it sometime tomorrow. Didn't want you to feel left out.
It's just that my brain isn't working to well this afternoon. Spent all morning in the sun at the beach. Looking at the tidepools for a field trip that's coming up. Don't worry everybody...you'll all be sunning in the sun in 7 weeks too.

Don't forget to PM me everybody with the names you want on your name tags. I'm working on the database as the names come in.

 

[pppiglet]

Yes....welcome StewieL! The more the merrier. Hope you have a great time.

StewieL,

Regarding childcare:

Kids at least three years of age that are potty-trained can enjoy supervised play at The Oceaneer Club or Lab. The club is for younger kids. Kids 12 weeks to 3 years old or kids not yet toilet-trained can use the Flounders reef Nursery.

Reservations are required for Flounder’s and is one of the things you should do very soon after boarding. Only a limited number of spaces are available. Flounder’s charges $6.00/hour.

The kids clubs are free. They are open from 9:00 AM to Midnight – Sometime 1:00 AM.

Hope this helps.
Jeff

Hello,
We have an even dozen going to Mexico the same time you are! We are very excited as this will be our first Disney Cruise ever! We have my husband and I plus our kids (13,4, & 2), my brother, his wife and his 2 kids and my mom and dad and my sister. We are all very excited!!

Did you book your excursions through Disney or are you going to do it when you get to the ports? We have such young children I was afraid to wait until we got to each place because I didn't want to venture around with them not knowing where we were going. What is your opinion?

Thanks! 44 more days till we go!
dkchavez!!

 

[pppiglet]

Welcome Dkchavez and family! Glad you found us and hope you can meet us all on the ship!

We booked our excursions through Disney. Being our first cruise we didn't want to take any chances.

Welcome Aboard! We booked the Pirate Sail in PV. In Mazatlan we booked a day room at the Hotel Playa on the beach. I booked directly with the Hotel. No plans for Cabo yet.

Welcome Janet MB...I have a DS who will be almost 3 also. He can't go to the club because he's not potty trained. Are you planning to send Sophie to the club? Anyway don't forget to PM me the names of people in your party along with your hometown. I'm making the name tags for our cruise meets....Hey Ppiglet and Stinasmom...I know you guys think that I know all your names already but I need to make sure I spell them right so e mail me those names and your hometown. I know shame on me I should know that by now.

Oh, and JanetMB don't forget to PM monstro a picture of your family Dawn and I are working on getting ours to him.
