anyone with teens going :[[

I am trying to convince our friends and their 18 year old daughter to go. Their daughter graduates from high school this year, June 9. They are not allowing her to go on a senior trip with the school friends/group. I am trying to convince them to take the cruise with us and let her go. As of now, they have not booked. I am working on them, though. Maybe I can convince her to come read these boards and talk to you. If I get her to do it, I will PM you and let you know.
Their family has never been on a cruise. She has only been to WDW once I think. This would be a whole new experience for her.

around 120 days till we go on the cruise.....

Anyone have a son/daughter that is around 4 at time of cruise that would be interested in sharing a dinner table? Its just my husband, daughter and myself and figured I would have some "hope/say" in who we get "stuck" with. Possibly someone who my daughter would befriend and then she would have a friend in the club, etc.

Our family will be driving in on Friday so we will be staying at a hotel in the area Friday night. We have looked at several and still are undecided.
Are any of you staying at hotels in the area the Friday night before the cruise? If so, which one?
It would be neat if we would be at the same hotel.
Right now we have it narrowed down to:
Holiday Inn on Cocoa Beach (We are Priority Club members so we could stay here for free. Then we would only have to pay for the shuttle. However, I have read some reviews that aren't so favorable. So....... )
Hampton Inn at Cocoa Beach (We are also Hilton Honors members. We love staying at Hampton Inn, but this one would not be free like Holiday Inn.)
Crowne Plaza at Melbourne (Again, we could stay here for free. It is a nice hotel. However, we would drive from NC past Cape Canaveral to get there. Therefore it is a longer drive, and we would have to back-track then pay/park at port.)

So we are still undecided. We have even considered the Radisson. We stayed there before our last cruise. I was not happy about a few of the things that happened with their service so we will probably not stay there again.

We are actually staying the night at wilderness lodge (we own DVC there). I know that doesn't help....

We are driving too and we are staying at the Residence Inn Cape Canaveral Cocoa Beach on Friday night.

Oh, how wonderful! I just got the information packet in from DVC yesterday. I am trying to convince DH that we need to buy!!!!!!

 

[Lisa0503]

We own DVC too and love it!!!! When we found out Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party started 9/14 we decided to fly down Thursday night so we could shop/relax Friday morning and then go to MNSSHP Friday night

We are staying at Sarasota Springs Resort. This will be our first time staying there....

If you are thinking of buying into DVC, why don't you try renting a villa for that Friday night from a DVC member. That way you would get to try it before you buy....

Great idea!!!!!! Now I just have to talk DH into trying that.

I would LOVE to buy DVC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DH just isn't totally convinced yet. Believe me, I am working on him.

Thats a good idea. I never think of that when I plan my Disney vacation. That is something I'll look into next time. I would love to buy into DVC.

I started a countdown on my white board here at work. 120 days! Of course I could just log into the DIS and see my ticker but thats too much work.

This was what we came home to on the last sea day for our 20th anniversary from our room hostess Lydia. She got an extra LARGE tip for that one.
