I guess we are still the only ones going.

 

[mickeymom923]

Jenn,
Glad to hear someone else is going. My children want to know if you have any teens and what part of NJ are you from. We're from Philly.

We will be with a 11, 6, 4, 3. No teens sorry. We are from central NJ, Middlesex county.

Jenn,

Have you been on Disney before. If not, you'll love it and your children will have a fantastic time. I did Disney last year, this past August and booked for 8/28/05 while on board. Not trying to rush my life away, but can't wait to do Disney again.

Out of the 8 of us going 4 of us have gone before. I went on my honeymoon on a dis cruise, just 4 nites. Then 2 years ago grandma (my mom) surprised us with the 7 day in a cat 3. Now that was FUN.

Now I'm jealous. I would love to do a 7 day cruise on Disney. Hopefully someday I will. Doing Voyager of the Seas this December but I love Disney.

We're going too!!! My name is Jennifer and I'll be traveling with DH, Billy and our 3 DD ages 5, 8 and 15 (then). This will be our first cruise. I'm so happy to see this thread!

I have to say, based on this summer's hurricane activity, I am freaking out a little bit about next year!! Hopefully it will be better next summer! I would hate to miss CC, but if we do we'll try to make the best of it - I know it's always the risk you take cruising during hurricane season.

We'll be spending several days at Universal and WDW before the cruise too.

cepmom,

Good to see someone else will be on the ship with us. We to will be at WDW before hand (5 nights) with 2 more people. So at WDW my group is 10 on the cruise we have 8 and it may even get bigger. Can't wait, already trying to design my door signs.

cepmom,
Welcome aboard. I'm going with my DS age 19, DD age 17 and my mom 87. We've done cruises in August for the past 9 years and never ran into a hurricane. The last cruise (8/19/04) that we did was right after Charley and before Frances. Guess we lucked out. We will also be spending the week before the cruise at WDW. Hopefully more people will join us.

mickeymom923 -

how do your teens like the teen club? My DD15 thinks there will be nothing to do that interests her (it was her idea to cruise in the 1st place ) She is a little shy and reserved until she gets familiar. I think the other two will be fine in the kids clubs - I just hope DD15 will be able to have fun despite her pessimistic attitude!

Where are you all staying before the cruise? I still haven't decided where to stay at WDW; I am pretty sure we'll be staying on site at Universal for 1 night in order to get the front of the line access. Last time we stayed at WL, but now with 5 of us, there are less options.

cruisedis05 -

sounds like a lot of fun traveling with so many other people! I have been trying to convince my Mom to come to WDW and bring my niece and nephew, but so far no luck. Nobody else in my family is a Disney freak like me, so I know they would never even consider staying on site (prices too high for them) or going on a Disney cruise (why pay so much when you can go Royal Carribean for less?) They just don't understand!!!!

My teens loved the teen club but most of all the Disney Cruise. My son who is 18 wanted to go on this last cruise for his HS graduation instead of going on a 7 day Carnival cruise. My son mostly played basketball and hung out with other teens. My daughter who will be 17 on 9/26 also loved the teen club and just being on this cruise. She is also initially very shy and I forced her to go to the teen club the first night. She met a very nice boy there and they hung out together after dinner every night. They still IM each other and she had a great time. She enjoyed going to all the shows each night and she enjoyed seeing all the Princess characters. I am the biggest kid of all and loved the food, the shows, the characters, being with my family and doing the Disney Cruise. cepmom, if your daughter has any questions, she can email my daughter Lindsay at Lilgchottie926@aol.com

I own a timeshare so I will exchange and stay in Lake Buena Vista the week before.

Okay, there's about 18 of us going so far. I'm sure there's got to be others going with us. Come on, join this group. 4 day Wonder 8/28/05.

Anyone??? Anyone???

 

[cruisedis05]

We have the ship all to ourselves!!!!
Anyone else with us???

 

[mickeymom923]

I just booked the Magic for 8/19/06. Debating whether to cancel the one in 05 or do both.

 

[mickeymom923]

Sorry to say that I transferred my '8/28/05 reservation to the special Western sailing on the Magic for 8/19/06 so I won't be going with you. I always wanted to do the 7 day Disney cruise and this one goes to Castaway Cay twice. I'm really excited and it gives me an extra year to save. Hope you have a great cruise and maybe you might want to join us in 06.
