09/18/11 - DVCers Take Over the Dream (S.S. Member Cruise 2011) - Thread #2

Representing Northern California here...
Am I the only one from Cali?
My guide @ Disneyland told me that I'm the only one (of her members) she knows of that got through for the SSMC 2011.

Hi peloha86,
I suspected you were from Cali, because of the avatar, but then thought you might just be a fan living somewhere else. I'll put you in as the only (known) one form CA.

Good Morning EVERYBODY!!!!

We are booked on the Fantasy maiden voyage
You can book online from the main page right now
We are in a category 6B. The concierge category wasn't even available to book I guess the gold and platinum members snagged those up yesterday. Not that Wally would have gone for it
So excited to be going on a maiden voyage. This is one of those "bucket list" things for us, sailing on the MV of a cruise ship.
It's even more special for us since it is a DCL ship!!!!

WOW TERRIE!!!!

You and Wally have gone from trying your first Disney cruise to being cruise maniacs

 

[dvc deernut]

[dvc deernut]

I JUST WENT TO DCL SITE CANADIANS CAN GET 25% off certain cruises between Jan 8 and Feb 28. I will have to remember that for future bookings. Terrie you and Wally must get a reduced rate being FLORIDIANS

 

[dvc deernut]

I am so jealous of you Terrie and Wally.

 

[TIGGERmetoo]

Kind of surprising. As best I could tell, a crude distribution of where people onboard might be from. Based on people who have posted at least once on this thread AND listed the state where they are from (so my wife doesn't count because she hasn't posted to this thread).

Number of Posters by State
IL (IIIII III)
IN (IIIII II)
FL (IIIII II)
NY (IIIII I)
NJ (IIIII)
CD (III)
WI (III)
PA (III)
VA (III)
DE (II)
MA (II)
NC (II)
GA (II)
CA (I)
OR (I)
CO (I)
IO (I)
MI (I)
TX (I)
SC (I)
AL (I)

Divisions below are my regional guesses, not necessarily correct
Northeast (6+5+3+3+2+2=21)
Midwest (8+7+3+1+1=20)
S & SE (2+2+1+1+1=7)
Florida Only (7)
Canada (3)
Western (1+1+1=3)

Thanks for doing this John. I thought there were a lot of us Illinoisians here.

Good Morning Everyone!

Terrie and Wally - all I can say is WOW! and I'm soooo jealous!
Sounds like it would be one of those dream come true moments - but way out of my range at the moment! We'll all be expecting lots of pictures!

 

[susieq55]

Thanks for doing that list John! It was very interesting - and Yay for the Northeast!

Congrats Terrie and Wally! That is wonderful~ A maiden voyage is quite a coup, because there is only 1 of them per vessel!

Thanks for doing this John. I thought there were a lot of us Illinoisians here.

I wonder why there are so many of us here? Did the just happen to land here or are we just more outgoing than folks from other states?

 

[susieq55]

quiet here this morning!

Thanks Terri and Sue, you are quite welcome. Of course FL is well represented, presumably because of the convenience. Then interest drops off thru the south and southeast. Maybe because they are close enough to drive to Disney in one day, or because Disney has about the same weather that they have? And then as you saw the interest tends to peak among the Union states, east of the Mississippi.

Also remember that posting here includes 3 main factors:
1 Willingness or personality to want to post
2 Interest in cruises (that eliminates 92% of the public)
3 Ownership in DVC, for at least 1/3 of passengers (so lodging at Disney is desired)
