06/24/2006 - Special Western Cruise - Who Else!?

[dmensing]

I would love to hear from others who will be on this cruise!

Other than CrazyMomma's post on the Summer 2006 thread, I couldn't find anyone else mentioning this cruise, so I figured I would start it out.

We have been wanting to take a Disney cruise for a long time. Once I saw the 2 CC itinerary, I couldn't resist any longer! It will be hard to wait so long, but at least it will give us more time to save up our pennies. I'll just have to keep reading all the great posts and live vicariously through everyone else until our turn!

Thanks Everyone!

Dan.

We're there, this will be our second cruise, we did the 6/26/04 Eastern cruise this year. We are, myself , DW both forty somethings and dd will be 15, Ds(12), DS (11).

 

[dmensing]

Thanks Harryo!

Our son will be 11 too, and my daughter will be 9.

When you mentioned that you and your wife are forty-somethings, it hit me that by the time we cruise, my wife will be over 40 and I will be about 45 days from turning 40! Wow, how time flies!

We are going too! It is my DD(who will be 10) and myself. We are in cabin 6580.My friend and her son (10) will also be going in cabin 6578. We can't wait! We went on the July 4 Wonder this year and our favorite day was CC. I jumped on this cruise when I saw 2 days at CC!

Bairdbeth and Lorie:

Thanks for posting! I hope to learn the ropes from you experienced cruisers!

Lorie, what is it about 7127 that you like so much to have it for the fourth time? Being new, I didn't know what to get, so I picked a Cat 9 on deck 2. (I wasn't fast enough to get a SPH.)

Thanks!
Dan.

 

[Crazy Momma]

Hello All,

I too am 40ish my husband is right behind me. DS will be 9 when we sail.

bairdbeth,

We have the room next to yours. We are in 6576.

dmensing,

I live in Fredericksburg VA, we almost neighbors. I see you are located in Maryland. What part?

Susan

I'm doing the Disney Happy Dance

 

[Harryo]

We got 2 connecting SPF rooms same exact rooms as our past cruise this summer!!!

Now I know who beat me to them!!! Way to go Harry!

Susan, we live in Cooksville, MD, a rural area west of Baltimore, about halfway between Baltimore and Frederick.

Dan,

There is nothing special about it really. It is a cat. 11 and it has always been good to us. I know it's not noisy, I don't get sea sick in it, well too much. It is near the aft deck 7 "secret deck". I guess mostly, it feels like home.

I also had an omen when we got back from our June cruise. The next day I was at the deli, and the code they put in for whatever it was, was 7127.

We've thought about a higher cat. But with just the 3 of us and the fact that we are never in our room, I figure I can use even the $100 difference to a cat. 10 on something else. Let's see I think that is about 20 kaluhacoladas!!! LOL

We are also going on the 24 cruise. We rebooked while on board this Aug and then our TA moved the date. We are in room 6068 and 6066. It is Myself(Angie) mid40, DH 40ish, DS will be 13, and DD will be 6. In the second cabin is My Mother 60somthing, My Dad 60something, and my Grandfather 88.

We had such a wonderful time in Aug., we all really wanted to cruise again. I am so happy to see all the older kids, maybe they would like to exchange addresses or e-mail and write to each other too.

I can't believe I have a vacation planned this far out!

 

[musicgirl]

Angie,

How true it is about planning so far in advance. my friends think I'm a little crazy

Oh well, I was feeling a little lost for a while without a cruise to look forward to. I thought doing the 7 night would finally get it out of my system!!!

Can you imagine how long this thread will be by the time our cruise rolls around? We should have a contest to see who can guess!!!

How many of you will be going in the day ahead? I know we will. I don't want to have to rush on the first day of the cruise.

Lorie

 

[Disneycrazymom]

We will go the day before and I am thinking about braving the parks for the July 4 weekend following, but we'll see if we are that crazy when it gets closer!

My guess is 50 pages at least.

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

CONGRATS to all on booking this special cruise! We were tablemates with musicgirl (Lorie, Bill, and ds) last June on DCL. We had so much fun with them!!! Trust me, they will not be in their stateroom, they will either be at the adult pool or taking some of the tours/classes - Lorie that is!

Lorie, sure wish we could go with you guys on this one too! Again, congratulations!!!

Barbara

 

[JKLLady]

We just booked this cruise with DU today. Count me in as another nut who couldn't pass up two trips to CC. We're booked for 8036 & it's DH (50ish), me (50ish), DD (20 in 2006) and DS (9 in 2006). So it looks like DS will have a few playmates in the club & DD might even find a few people close to her age!

The only bad part is that we have sooooooooo long to look forward to it!

 

[professorandmom]

Hey, everybody - seems there are lots of DISers who think the two CC trips is heaven!

When it gets closer, I'd like to exchange kids IM names so my DD who will be 16 and twin boys who will be 12 can have a few people they know. We did this last time and it was awesome.

I am a single mom and will be looking for another DISer to join at Palos...but I think that can wait, too

Now have any of you set your countdown timer so I can see just how bad the numbers are????

See you soon,
Barb
PS We are in 7501

 

[dmensing]

Barb:

Welcome! Yes, I set our countdown timer below. It is pretty ugly right now. Luckily, we have an upcoming trip to Orlando to take my mind off of it!

Thanks!
Dan.

 

[musicgirl]

Hi Barb,

We will definitely do a brunch, you are more than welcome to join us!!! The more the merrier!

I see you have a dd who will be 16. Our friends have a dd who will be 16. When we get closer, I'll see if she would like to IM your dd.

My guess is 100 pages!

Lorie

 

[professorandmom]

Lorie - brunch - ooooo I can dream of that now...
it is great to meet you guys and it will be a long 600 something days
See you "soon"
Barb

 

[dmensing]

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to bump up our thread and also ask a couple of questions to past cruisers.

1. The Palo brunch sounds interesting. What days is this typically offered?

2. With two days at CC, what are your plans to use these two days? I get the impression that most people just enjoy the beaches, but with two days are you planning on doing more excursions? If so, which ones?

Thanks!
Dan.
