1st Disney Cruise excitement!!!

[saturday97]

Me too! It's so close now, it feels like it wasn't that long ago that I was saying "Only a year now!" I am so excited and the best part is, it hasn't been stressful to plan! They really seem to take care of everything and I am soooo looking forward to a truly relaxing vacation-- for a change!!

139 days and counting .I have become obsessed with this board, my Passporter and the Magical Cruise Guide on WDWIG.com.
It is snowing/sleeting here today and I wish I was lounging on my veranda.
I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our first ever cruise is next January...we're going on the 4 day Wonder. This site has been a wonderful help in planning, and helps me to keep from getting fidgety while waiting! My oldest daughter, 10, knows about it, and she's very excited, too. My husband just wants a vacation. Anywhere. We're leaving next weekend to go for a week to stay in a cabin in the North Georgia mountains, and I know it will be a nice and relaxing week. But the cruise!!!!!!!!!!!!! January seems so far off........

Bnickle3 - I totally know what you mean and am almost afraid of what I'll do after the cruise (although I've already warned my Dfinacee that I see the Magic in our future).

I too can't wait to be sitting by the pool in the warm sun with my Mickey ice cream bar & my biggest worry being whether I'll have one or two desserts with dinner. Heavenly.

My only concern is how expensive DCL is versus other cruise lines that makes it hard to justify. But hopefully it'll continue to live up too its reputation.

Congratulations in advance Our first cruise ever will be 3/20/04 setting sail on our 10th ann. . Less than a year away now. I think DH is finally starting to get onboard about being excited, he picked up snorkel sets at Sam's Club "for the cruise". I starting planning over a year ago and am so happy to have him join in

At first we were going to keep it a secret from my grandson, but my daughter decided to tell him. Well, I got a book from the travel agent with lots of pictures in it, and showed it to GS(7) yesterday. His reply was in a very nonshalant(sp) way "Hey, I'm impressed" I couldn't believe he didn't at the least jump up and down screaming "YEAH! I'M GOING ON A CRUISE! LOOK HOW BIG IT IS. LOOK AT ALL THE WATER!" etc.... nothing. I just smiled to myself and said, "I GUESS I'M THE KID IN THIS GROUP!"

I am taking my nieces (17,13), nephew (15) and sister on the 3rd and I think sister (Jeanne434) are more excited then the kids

Although my nephew did talk about deep sea fishing off the ship

We're going in October - and I am SO excited. We're going to Maui next week and I've hardly planned anything I've been so busy thinking about October. For Disney, I already have hotel reservations pre and post and have decided where we're going to eat, what park we're going to what day, what tickets to get etc. Anyway, got to think about Hawaii, must think about Hawaii ...

Can you feel the earth shakin'! I have been jumping for 2 months - Our sail date is Dec. 6th 2003 - DH, and DS(x2)

We are going on our first cruise in July. We booked it last April. It did not seem real till the first of the year rolled around. Now we almost broken the 100 day mark. Time to get the excursions planned so we can request them at the 60 day mark, which is marked prominently on our calendar.

Our first Disney Cruise July 5th can't wait either!! These boards are great I've asked some questions and still haven't gotten an answer to some of them. Like: Recommendations for excursions in Cozumel and Grand Caymen. Can you book massages ahead of time?

Our first cruise leaves one month from today. (preceeded by a 4 day stay at the poly) (first time staying there)
It hardly seems real after all the planning , and reading these boards, and reading them again.
My kids are 3 and 6 , and I mostly cant wait to see their faces when they walk on board.
Thanks to everyone for all your tips .

Our first ever cruise is June 5th - 8th on the Wonder. Was really excited at first and then calmed down after everything was paid for. Then started to get excited about the WDW portion of our vacation and all the planning for that (will be staying for three nights at WDW after cruise). Have absolutely haunted the boards for the last month!

Then DS (10 soon 11) asked me last night "Mom, where is our room going to be on the boat?" His brother (13) was teasing him that we were going to be on the bottom - practically in the water! I found the DCL site and showed him our deck (2) and then we checked out some other stuff. He started saying "I'm so excited to be going on that boat! I just can't wait!" This from a child who never gets excited much about going on a trip. He'd really rather stay home!

Well, that did it for me, too. I'm now very excited about the cruise again. Guess I just needed a reminder about how great this cruise is going to be.

Got our excursion sign up sheet and still haven't faxed it. Guess I should get busy.
