6/7/11 - It's a double dip DREAM!

[lenshanem]

Hi fellow cruisers! Thought I'd get this party started!

It will be me, DH, DD13 and DD10 (ages at time of the trip).

Join in!

 

[LissaW16]

Yay! We are booked for a party of 9... four staterooms on deck 8 way forward...

Me, DH, DD (age 4.5 at cruise time), my mom, MIL, FIL, SIL, BIL, and their kid (aka DN [dear neice], age 3.5 at cruise time).

Plus (not yet booked but waiting for quotes from DU) is my DD's godmother and her mother (the great-godmother?).

We are a mix of experience: my mom and the godmother are vetran cruisers (but never on DCL); DH and I have been on 1 cruise (RCCL); SIL & BIL honeymooned on a short Disney cruise; and MIL, FIL, great-godmother and the two girls have never cruised before.

My MIL is a total Disney fanatic; loves all things Disney, so I'm sure she will fit in just fine.

DH thinks I'm totally insane for booking a trip 19 months away, but oh well... !

Hi Melissa!

Wow, that's alot of family going!

Ya, it is kinda crazy planning this far out!
But, we got first stab at the staterooms, yes?!?

 

[will5mom]

I'm on board. It will be Me, DH, and DS(7) at time of cruise. Can't wait have cruised before but not w/ DCL. Hopefully, BIL,SIL, and DN will go w/ us. I told them the great prices you get this far out, so we'll see what happens. I haven't told DH or DS yet, I think I'll tell them right before we leave if I can wait that long Thanks for getting the thread started.

Hi will5mom!

I'm also not telling anyone. Planning on it being a Christmas 2010 surprise! The wait is gonna kill me!

This will be our third DCL cruise. It has been a few years, though. I'm so looking forward to Castaway Cay TWICE!

This will be our first DCL cruise, DH and I have been on Carnival, and RCL.

I have to be careful w/ my planning since DH does not know yet.

I booked an oceanview cabin, but am thinking about upgrading to a verandah. I need to decide soon before prices go up.

Hey Yall

Family from Alabama going on our 5th DCL cruise with you guys. Kevin,45
Melody 33 Austin (10 then) and Drew 7. We can't wait to experience the new ship and the all the fun things that the Dream will have to offer. We are looking to forward to meeting our fellow Disers as we we had a big group on May 2009 trip on the Magic and it made the trip all that more Magical!. Time will pass by quickly!. We plan on going to WDW for a few days before and enjoy the parks. However, our favorite part of the vacation will be spending two days at Castaway Cay!. Looking forward to meeting everyone and I know my boys will be excited to see Shadow enjoying the cruise!

 

[lenshanem]

Glad you came over Bama. I'm also looking forward to two days at CC!!!

Hi, my family and I will also be joining you on the ship. We are me, the grandma, Linda; my DD Beth and my DGD Kayla who will be 9. This will be my 4th DCL cruise (I am going on the EB TA in April 2010) and their 3rd DCL cruise. Kayla said after the last one this past summer that she wanted to try another boat next time. I had been looking at RCCL with all their rock walls, mini golf, ice skating, etc and that's what she was into. But when I showed her the aquaduck - well, it was another story! I'm glad because I think I'm pretty spoiled by Disney and even though I had been looking elsewhere, I wasn't really ready to commit. So, baring any unforseen problems, we will be there and I'm so excited! When I'm on the Magic in April, I am going to look into booking another to make it a back to back! How about 9 or 10 days and 3 or 4 times at CC?? Am I nuts?!

Hi Linda!

We're starting to get a group going here!!!

Hey Stkeeler:

We where on the May 2009 cruise with you and Austin and Kayla where pals and hung out at the pool. He still talks about her because I think they had a "crush" on each other. I will tell him that you all are booked on the Dream with us and he will be very excited.

Tell Kayla, Austin says Hi!

This is so cool! She will be very excited - in a non-girls liking boys way because she really doesn't like boys, don't ya know. Maybe they can email each other sometime. Oh, boy is this gonna be fun! Eighteen months of teasing...

Finally moved our dummy date to a reservation on the Disney Dream! We will be sailing to celebrate our daughter's high school graduation.

We are Terri (mom), Kenny (dad), Jennifer (DD 17) and David (DS 15). This will be our 5th Disney Cruise and our kids' 4th. Can't wait to be back on board a Disney ship. It is my children's favorite place to vacation.

 

[danzma]

Just put our deposit down last week. Me, DH and DS who will be 11 at sailing. Sailed on a 7-day Western back in August and now we're hooked. So excited for two glorious days at Castaway Cay. There was construction going on in August and I know they're adding so much between now and 2011...can't wait to see it Only regret is that it's not a 7-day...worried it will be too short of a trip!!

 

[will5mom]

I've got so long to wait for this cruise and am so excited. I have also been thinking it may be too short, considering b2b cruise but we'll have to see about the money.


I finally caved and told DH that I booked cruise. I was going to keep it a surprise but felt guilty about spending money without telling him
