Heya all,

Finally found some time and found this thread on the cruise Thought i'd check in, so to speak. My family and I will be joining you all on our first cruise in December. We are also planning on hitting WDW on the 13th for a day. Disney during Christmas is just awesome, and I hear the ship gets all decorated as well.

Very excited for my first DCL cruise. See you all there!

Welcome Basil Fox! It's our family's first cruise as well, we're very excited!! We've never done Disney at Christmas-time but are looking forward to the decor, etc. Welcome aboard! Woohoo!!

Hello everyone! I am Basil Fox's Mother and am soooooo excited to find out about this forum. How have some people found out already what cabin number they have? Can we request one now because this is our first cruise or do we have to wait until September 22 to request a cabin along with reservations and excursions? Thanks, in advance, for any help you can give. Disney Lady

If you are in a guarantee stateroom, you likely wil not find out until about 30 days prior to the cruise. If booked in GTY status, you cannot request a room in particular.

All you cruisers with little girls in the 5-7 age range -- we should get our daughters to start penpal-ing right now. They will already be familiar with each other by the cruise and become fast friends in the club!

That is a GREAT idea! I have 2 DD's who will be 8 & 6 when we cruise. Both are HUGE Hannah fans as well as HSM My older DD is quite shy, but my younger DD will talk to anyone with ears I also have a much younger son who will be flirting with all the girlies in Flounders Reef

Maybe we could set up a "Flat Stanley" or "Flat Mickey" to go around with the kids to learn about each other and where their from?

What's a "Flat Stanley"?

My DD has begun a pen-pal relationship with frdeb1999's DD and she'd love to make new friends with a "Flat Stanley" if only I knew what that was.

 

[frdeb1999]

I have no clue what it is either! But am curious!

I am also happy to say that as of today I am PAID IN FULL!
