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

[udflyer00]

This is so cool, a meet thread forever in advance!! We are also booked on the ship. We are a family of 6, but are bringing Grandma and Grandpa along with us since we need 2 rooms anyways!!

Our group will be: (age @ sailing)
Me, Mark (33)
DW, Molly (34)
DS, Eric (9.5)
DD, Haley (7)
DS, Luke (4)
DD, Emily (2)
Grandma Bev (young at heart )
Grandpa Jerry (young at heart )

This will be my wife and I's 3rd cruise, 2nd for the rest of the party. We were just on the Wonder for 4 nights (CC Double dip). It was so great!! My wife and I's first DCL was on our Honeymoon back in '99, after waiting 9 years for the same experience I didn't want to do the same... And with a new ship hitting the fleet, what better time to set sail again... I'd like to make this a bit of a tradition every 3-4 years hit the open water!! Need that much notice to make it affordable needing 2 rooms... But wouldn't change it for anything.

Anyway, glad to be on the group, maybe we can make a "Master List" as we go on??

Have fun and we'll chat more!!!

We're here!! Did you start the party without us?

We've got two connecting rooms booked (ages at time of cruise):


Me (Michelle, 39)
Mom (MsTxMom on the disboards, Vicki, 60)
brother (Scott, 33)
SIL (Kassie - pronounced like Casey, 31)
niece 1 (Alyssa, 7)
niece 2 (Allison, 5)
niece 3 (Abigail, 4)

It's my first cruise as a GOLD Castaway Club member, Mom's 3rd cruise and everyone else's first cruise ever - so we're all really excited!

We just got off the Nov Double Dip and could hardly wait to rebook! You should have seen us trying to decide between the porthole you can sit in or the faux porthole over the bed that the characters swim past!

WooHoo! We're goin' cruisin'!

 

[SaratogaShan]

Hi!

Can we join you?

We booked this cruise while onboard the 12/17 Wonder (our first cruise) while sailing in rough seas with gale force winds!!!!! We were unable to dock at castaway Cay, and as you can imagine, feel like we really did not get the full experience. We can see the potential for a great vacation though, so we are trying again!!

It will be me (Shan)
DH (Ed)
DD (age 9 at sailing)
DS (age 6 at sailing)

 

[Time4disney]

Yay!!!
It will be me (Sherrie) and DH, Bret.
This will be our 4th disney cruise. We have an upcoming cruise on May 30th on the Wonder but couldn't wait that long to book on-board. Can you believe that this trip cost less than the 5 night I'm taking this May? Plus, I upgraded to category 6 since they won't have cat. 7 (navigator's verandah) on the Dream. I guess it really does matter to book early.

Our other 2 cruises to the Bahamas were in late May/early June and the weather was either perfect or near perfect for cruising. The 2 days at CC are just wonderful!

I look forward to chatting with everyone for the next year and a half.

 

[oklamomof4boys]

We're booked also! We just got off the Magic yesterday and rebooked while we were on board. We also were worried that 5 nights would be too short so we booked back to back ( 3rd and the 7th). Only bad thing was they didn't have any connecting Cat 10s or 9s for both cruises. They didn't even have any close to each other and we really don't want to have to move rooms between cruises. So we had to book connecting cat 11s. I'm not thrilled about that but we really don't spend much time in our rooms so I'm trying to look on the positive of saving money. We met some great disers onboard and they booked the same cruises! So did my sister and family who were with us! My kids became friends with the dis kids and loved hanging out with them- also another dis family might book also!

Anyway, unless we have to change dates there will be

me Carol,
David- husband
DS 18
DS 16
DS 14
DS 12
Sister and her husband and their kids- DS 21, DS 18

 

[mrp4352]

to all the new cruisers!!

Shan- I'm glad you found us over here!

Carol, I think your group brings us up to 15 families already! WOW!

Michelle

 

[udflyer00]

We're almost under the 500 day mark!!! According to my DVC countdown clock we have 517 Days, 10 hours, 32 min and 20 seconds until we set sail!! This is going to be very exciting. It will be my wife and I's 3rd, Inlaw and the kids 2nd... I really want to make this a every 2-4 year occurrence for us... With a family of 6 needing 2 rooms we need that long to make it affordable.. But the kids can't stop talking about it already. I tried to put it in kid timeframe, they need to have 2 birthdays before it's close...

2 birthdays can't come fast enough!!

Glad to see some more people are posting to the thread!

 

[E&BMom]

We just got off the NYE Magic cruise and rebooked this one and the one before this cruise! Hopefully we can keep these dates so we can be with olkamomof4boys again!!! The only reason we would have to change is DD's school trip to France. Let's hope it is after the cruise!!
It will be DH, myself, DD16 and DS almost 13 sailing!!

 

[codygirl5150]

We are joining you guys on the cruise.

it will be myself DH Mark DW (Joy) DD X 2 DS X 1 and D Dog (Shadow)

I just told DD7 that your dog will be on board, and explained that he's a helper dog. She asked if he can do her homework!

Besides DD7 (9 at time of cruise), it will be me, DH, and my Dmom70.

Also my DSis (fellow DISer and the one responsible for getting me obsessed with Disney), DBIL, DNeph10 and DNiece2 might be coming too!

All of us first time cruisers - had to do it up Disney style for the first time!

 

[mrp4352]

Bumpity, bump-bump! Third page is no place for our Dream-y cruise!

 

[mrp4352]

Hi all!! Just thought I'd drop by and celebrate - 500 days from today, my family will be flying to Orlando to spend the night before the cruise at WDW!!!

 

[will5mom]

I need some warm weather. Trying to convince the grand parents to come along with us.

Hope everyone is doing good!!!!

 

[codygirl5150]

We just booked! Chose cat. 6B, assigned room 7684, on the starboard side!

 

[scottrob]

We just booked this cruise (Stateroom 7668). This will be either our 3rd or 4th cruise with Disney depending on what we do about our Christmas 2010 cruise. This will be a grandparents cruise to see how we can divide up two granddaughters among three sets of grandparents . It should prove to be interesting. We will be a group of ten I think.
We live in the Northern Virginia area and all of our kids are grown. Penny and I look forward to learning more about you all in the coming months.

 

[mrp4352]

WooHoo! More new cruisers!
