Well everyone i almost wasn't on this cruise. I origanally booked on a December cruise and switched to this cruise back on May 25th. I recieved forms two days ago for my originall cruise . So i called thinking Disney just had us booked on both cruises. Disney some how had NO record of our booking of this cruise. I got no where with Disney. Which makes me very sad but i rebooked but had to up grade to a family sweet with a verandah. That i really didn't want because i like having two rooms since i have two teenachers anda preteen. I prefer having two seperate showers. I had no choice since nothing was avaliable . Now we will all be in one room but atleast were on the cruise. I just wish Disney would of took some responsiblity for this since i didn't dream up the connecting room # on two BTB cruises. They said they had NO RECORD of me speaking with a TRIC. Even though they have someone with that name. It was truely like a bad dream. I didn't have the heart to tell my family we weren't going so somehow i will come up with the rest of the $.

Don't be too sad, Concierge has it's priveleges.
Do you have a stateroom number yet? My family and I are in 2 rooms on deck 12, A suite and a connecting family stateroom. #'s 12020 & 12018.
See you on board.

Hey everyone. Popping in here. Originally we had planned a 4/14 3 night.... 4/17 4 night B2B cruises. I was taking my dd on the 4/17 cruise as her class at school usually goes to camp and since she is now in middle school it is more difficult to make up work, figured perfect time to go on the cruise. Well school has started and now she really wants to do the camp trip with her class , so I may be doing the 4 night 4/10 cruise with the 4/14 3 night cruise... fly home and then go to camp the next day(thankfully it it is only for 52 hours). Then she will be off for Easter.

So anyhow.. introducing myself... I am Amy(46 ... how did that happen)... with Matti who will be 11 at cruise time and Kenzey who will be 9 at cruise time. Have a great hubby but he doesn't like to fly so yearly the girls and I do our own big trip. Usually it is a week in WDW in November but we did a 3 night Wonder trip last year and the girls really want to go on the dream.

Southwest comes out with flight times on tuesday so I will know for certain which cruises I will be on. Right now, all three are booked. can't wait to meet you all. Do know a couple who are posting on the 4/14 cruise alreay.

 

[scootch]

yoohooo... anyone here. Well official. I found 64$ flights for the way down. Will likely stay at the Hyatt like we did last cruise, very convenient and my kids found it to be fun. Still waiting for southwest for my return flight after our B2B cruise. Hopefully will have that booked tomorrow.

Just convinced my friend to join us on our cruise!!! We got lucky adding her to our room. Seems that this ship is pretty full. So now it will be myself-staci-3?, hubby-jim-the big 40, friend-shannon-33, dd-miranda-17, ds-dustin-13 & dd-morgan-7.
Kinda worried/concerned about the kid clubs cuz morgan is disabled and don't know how much she will be able to do w/out assistance. But regardless we will all have fun.
only 190 days - but who's counting

As far as who's counting, I am. I have an app on my iphone thats got it broken down into days, hours, mins, and seconds.
We'are flying to Oralndo the day before, so.
188 days, 6 hours, 26 mins, and 45 secs.

I'd like that app too!

I am starting to get so excited! We are at WDW for four days before but the cruise is going to be the highlight!

What do you guys think of the new dining related scheduled show times?

 

[scootch]

What do you guys think of the new dining related scheduled show times?

how is that working on previous reservations? My travel agent hasn't contacted me. I wonder how much they will stick to that. I prefer to not be on that close of a scheuule. I might like an earlier show one night and a later one the other . Since we are doing B2B it shouldnt' be a problem as when we did the three night, we hit a play every night, but with the back to back, we will spread the plays over the 7 days. We absolutely loved the plays but felt we missed some of the other fun stuff, so the B2b will allow us to enjoy it all.

The app is called AppBox Pro, it costs $.99. It has multiple apps in it. I plugged in the date our flight leaves in the "Days Until."app.There it will show how many days, but if you open the "Dashboard" app., it will show in days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Some of the other apps included are a tip calculator, a currency exchange calculator, and translator.
We are also staying at the parks until the 21. We are new DVC members at BLT and are really looking forward to spending the week at our new "Home" away from home.
Looking forward to meeting everyone on board.

I am truly sad with DCL reservations right now also, they are not really willing to work with people. We were suppose to be booked in a four person room so we could add a fourth person. We never were and we have never been able to add the fourth person since the cruise is pretty full. Everytime we have asked they tell us to upgrade and too bad.

So my daughter's friend isn't going- hope she can find someone on the cruise to hang out with in the kids club. And also we are staying the night before at BLT and then through the 18th at BLT.

 

[rosermama]

Count us in on this cruise --- FOR RIGHT NOW----

We have tried to switch to to the 17th cruise with no luck. We will keep trying as we don't want our DD to miss too much school. But we don't have our hopes up.

For now it is me, DH and DD who is 12.

She is kind of upset that she isn't old enough to go to the big kids club which is in the front part of the ship. She has made me promise to go again when she is old enough...these kids will break you.

I can't belive we are like 180 days away, I am so excited. Just got back from WDW and can't wait to go again. We have decided to drive down and then park at the marina for the couple days, still cheaper for us then flying and renting a car or taking the bus.

I am still very upset with them myself. This isn't our first cruise we have ever booked with them. They acted as if i made the whole thing up and it was n't their fault. It was totally their fault. that is the part that kills me the most. Take responsibility for the mistakes you make. I didn't dream up a name of a castmember or two seperate state room #'s on two BTB cruises. I just wish someone would of said sorry but they kept saying there was nothing they could do etc..
I know your daughter will make friends on the cruise. I have three childrenCharissa 20,Trent17 and Coral will be 12 by then they always meet so many great friends. This will be our 5th and 6th DC. I hope by then i can forget about this and actually enjoy the cruise. TTYS Crystal in PA.

My Daughter Coral will be 12 next month. the kids clubs are wonderful i am sure she will have a great time.

We actually switched from the 17th to this one. They do release room at midnight each night and I peek more often than I need to at the rooms available for this cruise and our B2B 4/14 cruise.... the 17th does pop up occasionally for me(we are a party of 3, 1 adult and two kids). So you might get lucky and get in there.

Hello All,
So excited. Finally decided for sure that we are in for this cruise. Booked it a long time ago, but wasn't sure if finances would allow us to go, but we are definitely in now (airfare is purchased). It will be the second DIS cruise for me, my mom, my dd 9 (turning 10 on cruise) and dd 5. Can't wait. Hope we can get an FE off the ground, they are a lot of fun.
