[GirlfromTN]

I can't believe a travel agent would ever question where a paying customer wanted to go!!! How awful! We did the land and sea for our honeymoon. People thought I was crazy for doing Disney on our honeymoon, but we had an absolute BLAST!!! We also met several other honeymooners and we all had fun. One of the great things about Disney is they enforce their rules so if you are in the adult only areas - you won't see kids! I have always said they go above and beyond for the adults.

We booked Cat. 12, too, and can't wait to see where we end up!

Yea isn't that terrible?? I ended up booking with Dreams Unlimited anyway instead of Costco, since Costco was only offering a small Costco card as an incentive, and Dreams Unlimited was much better since I could get the $25 online booking OBC and the $50 Dreams Unlimited OBC. We have been to WDW plenty of times (without kids!) and loved it obviously, and we're going to Disneyland (as part of Adventures by Disney Backstage Magic) for our honeymoon, so we are not afraid of doing Disney kids-free! We have tried to convince some friends to come on the cruise too but no luck (I think they're all a little scared about a "Disney" cruise!) so we have decided to try to make some friends online instead that we can meet up with on the cruise

Hi. Just booked this cruise. It's just the 2 of us. No kids. We will be celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary on board. We just added onto DVC (Villas Grand CA DL) and got a 3 night DCL cruise. We haven't sailed on DCL since 1/2004 and haven't been to WDW in 5 yrs. At this time we are going into the Beach Club Villas on 11/28 but we are going to try to change this and do WDW after the cruise instead of before the cruise. We have secured Cat 7 but this is a guarantee so unknown what room we will end up in prior to the cruise. I personally cannot wait to go back to WDW/DCL and to see all the Christmas decorations at WDW and DCL and of course see Nausau again.

First of all..just wanted to say "Hi,Minybear!"

Just wondering with all the changes on the thread, if everyone was still interested in the Fish Extender exchange? I was going to try to make mine, but thought i'd better check first. I was going to try and make mine earlier but some things came up that I didn't get to.

Hope you all had a great Easter! We had some rough weather here, but it was still good. Enjoyed the Easter egg hunt with my girls

Hope to hear from you all soon.

Hello Everyone!

DH and I will be joining all of you on this cruise. This will be our 4th Disney Cruise! We booked this with the bounceback offer. We are also DVC members with our home resort at the BCV. We will be staying at BCV after the cruise 12/6-12/10. Looking forward to seeing the Christmas decorations on the Wonder and at WDW. We've been to WDW during the Christmas season once before in 2004. I hope this year will be warmer than it was then.

Have never been on a cruise that had an organized FE but would be interested in participating if that is what the group decides to do.

Congratulations, Minybear on your 34th anniversary. DH and I will celebrate our 31st anniversary this August.

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Looking forward to meeting you too......Did you check with Disney or your travel agent about using the bounceback for this date. The reason I ask is because we had 2 that was on this thread/meet with us and found out that this date was a "blackout" date for the bounceback cruise and had to change their dates. I hope you DO get to cruise with us, but would hate to have you do even more planning only to find out the date isn't available. Looking forward to hearing from you again!!

Hi Donna

Let me say "Welcome to the Dis"

Looks like we have something in common. We are both DVC members at the BCV and we have been married for over 30 yrs (you for 31 yrs 8/2009 and us 34 yrs in Jan/2010). Congratulations on your 31st wedding anniversary this August.

I see your staying at BCV 12/6-10. I am trying to move our dates to 12/6 at BCV and we are on the waitlist. I hope this waitlist comes through. If not I will try to move to AKVilla or splurge and stay at the Grand Floridian (non DVC resort).

You mentioned "FE" what is that?

We are driving down on Dec.1 but not staying at WDW...we're staying at a hotel in PC for 2 nights before the cruise.

Wish we was able to stay at WDW...maybe someday!!

Welcome, Donna! I'm glad to see our numbers going up again!

We are waiting for a code to stay at WDW for a few days before our cruise. I just received the kids free code for this summer at WDW, so hopefully we'll be lucky again for December

Hello everyone! Just wanted to drop in and say hi! It is beautiful here today in TN and supposed to be a beautiful wknd as well! I am so happy the weather is FINALLY getting warm Maybe I should go lay out in the sun and pretend i'm on Castaway Cay lol.

I've got to go do some shopping for "cruise wear" sometime lol. I know its 6-7 months away still, but it gives me an excuse to shop lol. My DH wants me to purchase a swimsuit this year to wear at the beach instead of shorts and tshirt...I am very self concious because i am ..how should I put it...Pooh sized lol. Just remember that, if we have a dis meet on our cruise that i'm not stuck up...just sorta self conscious

I've still got to figure out what to use for a FE gift! I can't find anything that seems suitable to me!! arggghhh!!!! I've been doing some research on the FE exchange and it doesn't seem to complicated. Someone just keeps record of everyone on that sailing, their cabin #, and I would think if they had kids or not and ,if so, what ages. Some then say they have a dis meet the first day and hand that out or just email the whole list to everyone a few days before sailing.

Well, for someone who was just gonna say hi I sure got long-winded....sorry

Hope to hear from you all soon!!

Lisa

Oh ya if any of you have facebook or myspace let me know and maybe we could add one another

Did I mention to you guys that I booked this cruise without my husband knowing!!! My mom and step-dad went on a cruise at the end of this past January and talked about how cool, temperature wise, it was. I was looking at this cruise because it was cheap(ish), but my husband was convinced it would be too cold in December. I plan on telling him around September! I've mentioned it to my son - in his little 6-year-old head he knows we're going. He can't wait. Plus the cruise is a week before his birthday so that makes it even better. My daughter (19 months) already loves Mickey Mouse so it will be impossible my husband to say no to them. He loves the cruise and the ships so I know he will enjoy it. I just got to wait until the right time to tell him!!!

Only 7 more months according to y'alls countdown!!!

TTFN!
