Come on folks, certainly some of you must have booked this by now?

 

[MN Dis Fans]

Somebody must be lurking out there that has booked this?
Who wouldn't want to do Castaway Cay on New Year's Day!

 

[oklamomof4boys]

I just found this thread! We will be on your cruise. It is me, DH and 4 boys ( will be 16, 14,13,11). We were going to be on the NYE cruise this year, but we postponed it a year so we could go to Disneyland this summer. It will be our first 7 night cruise and we are very excited. I can't believe we have to wait 22 more months!

 

[MN Dis Fans]

It's good to see there is somebody else out there going.

I'm trying hard to do the math (Its still so far away). Our 2X DS's will be !4 & 12 then.
At least we're down to less than 2 years.

 

[SnowWhite2]

Count us in. We just booked on-board. Me, DH and DDs 13 and 15 when sailing. OMG, the kids are getting so old. I guess thats why we booked two cabins! A NYE cruise should be exciting.

 

[MN Dis Fans]

The Ship is filling up fast!

Welcome aboard.

 

[flexsmom]

We're in!

We just did the Christmas Magic cruise - it was my in-laws first DCL and our 4th - and they enjoyed it so much that they booked NY 2009 for a full family cruise with all of their three children's families, including us again! My parents have been a few times and have enjoyed it, but I was worried about my in-laws with Disney, but they are now big fans.

So - we have 4 staterooms booked and a total of 15 of us cruising.

I'm planning on leaving VA on Christmas afternoon to fly to FL and will likely stay at the Hyatt the night before. We've done that before and it was a piece of cake to get to the port. I figure that way we have Christmas am at home with our two kids - who will be 10 and 6 at the time - and then head south.

 

[IMDORY]

Just booked this weekend-we'll be there too! It will be me and DH and DS who will be 8 at the time. This will be our first cruise ever-we are sooo excited. I don't know how I'll be able to wait the 21 months still to go. Looking at all of the pictures and info makes me want to go now!

 

[oceangirl]

Hi everyone. I have 2 DS (lots of boys on this trip so far!) who will be 15 and 17 at the time of the cruise. We did an "Eastern" in November '07, and to my surprise (and relief) my boys both had a great time. Unfortunately, they didn't mention that they wanted to go on another DCL cruise until AFTER we left the ship (so no on-board booking discount for us!!). Grrr. At any rate, I just wanted to say hello; it makes the cruise seem more of a reality somehow......! So long to wait. Sigh.

 

[MN Dis Fans]

Howdy! and Welcome aboard you all.

We're down to under 21 months! Ya Hoo It will be here before we all realize it.

It does appear to be boy heavy, if our limited cruise meet numbers are any indication.

Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Our 2x DS's love to cruise. Their favorite things to do are: foosball, playing chess in Diversions, catching the games in Diversions, and Not to mention the kids clubs with all the events!

 

[momdislover]

okay, so I am thinking about booking the nye cruise. Is the weather and water warm enought in january to enjoy? The water was freezing in march, I'm a little nervous. My ds will be 11 almost 12 by that time.... i think.....yeah thats right 12. We would also be cruising minus DH. This also makes us nervous. Ya know preteen boy and mom-could be deadly for one of us!!!!

 

[MN Dis Fans]

Hi momdislover I hope you decide to join us! Our DS's had such a great time together on our last cruise.

Water temp in December? No idea. Although DW & I cruised just before x-mas several years ago, and I don't think there was a great amount of difference between then and March (The water is cold?) You're from the Northern U.S. like we are. Cold is when there is ice floating in the water. I thought the water was great, once in and climitized. The snorkeling was absolutely fantastic!

I admire your courage. There is no way on this earth that I would allow DW to take off with the kids and cruise without me! Now, if it was the other way around and we left her home? Hmmmmmm.

P.S. I hope she doesn't readt this?

 

[NM Dis Fans]

New Disney Cruisers, and sold on it. Just got off our first, and while on board we booked the NYE 09 cruise. We have one son (DS?) who is 5 now and will be 7 on the cruise. He loved this one and we all cannot wait for the next.

 

[MN Dis Fans]

Hi NM Dis Fans Welcome to the Disboards and Welcome aboard our cruise meet thread . Glad to hear you had a great time. It's sure easy to get addicted!

I'll make an educated guess that you are from New Mexico? I like your User Name! Kind of reminds me of ours!

 

[NM Dis Fans]

I know I have no imagination (gasp) when it comes to making up user names. Yes we are from NM, Albuquerque.

 

[Hobbitmomma]

Wow, I didn't realize there would be a thread this far out. We booked about a month ago. DH and I were casually chatting about how fun it would be to get away the week between Christmas and New Year's. Out of curiosity, he looked up the dates for 2009 and then we started talking about what ages the kids will be at that time. (DS will be 11 and DD will have just turned 9 on Dec. 24th) So, we decided that since it would be our son's last chance to go to the clubs we would go for it. We can't wait! We aren't telling the kids. On Christmas they are just going to get lots of vacation related gifts and the last thing they will open will be something I will make up telling them we are going on the cruise the next day! And DD will get to celebrate her birthday onboard. We celebrated our son's b/day last time. (His was the week after we got home.) We've only been on one other. We did the land/sea in August 2006. So we are just dying to go again. The kids talk about it all the time. It is going to be so great! I just wish it wasn't so far away.

 

[HFC1969]

We are solid for this one also...

As far as telling the kids, we never tell our son. Just got back last night from WDW & DCL and our son didn't know until we were driving to the airport and he asked where we were going.. Ofcourse he is only 8 1/2 probaly get alot tougher over the next few cruises..

We didn't have the nerve to book over Christmas again... I think our parents wer getting a bit tiffed... So we picked the day after Christmas LOL..

 

[MN Dis Fans]

Hobbitmomma Hi And Welcome Aboard.
This far out? the cruise is like only 19 months away!

HFC1969 Hi Again! Sorry we missed you on the Mar 22 - 29 Westbound. I seem to remember that you had to cancel last minute to do a sickness It does look like you did make it on a later DCL boat. Hope you had a great time.

 

[E&BMom]

Just got off a B2B today (4 day double dip and then 3 day) and we booked this cruise!!! We are very excited. It will be our 6th cruise. When the cruise happens DD will be 15 and DS will be 12!!!!!
