[disneyfinatics]

We are also on the Sept. 19, 2009 cruise. We've been to Disney many times, but this will be our first cruise. We are all very excited. My boys will be 12 & 13 at the time of the cruise. I welcome any advice!

DisneyFin: where in MD are you? Nice to see somebody else from the area going on the cruise!

Lusby. It's south of Baltimore near Solomon's Island.

remember my earlier post about him going away to dry and sandy places? Yeah, well forget it. His bosses boss said Oh H E double Hockey Sticks NO.

the man VOLUNTEERS to get shot at and they say they can't spare him.. I don't know whether to be relived or to feel sorry for whoever gets voluntold to go.


*sigh*

I was wondering how hot will it be in September? I've heard that if you go further from the cruise ships in Cozumel that the shopping is cheaper, has anyone done this? My boys will be 12 & 13 at the time of the cruise, anyone else that age going?

I think I would be both. I'm glad for you that he doesn't have to go.

My sister is single and would love to go on the cruise w/ us. She's not sure how to find someone she could share a cabin with. Anyone have any ideas?

There might be some posts under the Regular forum for cruisers looking for a Room Mate to help save some costs..

We might even have some cruisers joining us but it is so far in advance right now, they can't commit..

Guess not all people are DCL A Holics like us

I found a place on the Dis boards she could look. It's hard to believe people aren't as addicted as we are. My parents first took me to Disney in 1974. That's when they realized no child under 6 should go if they were going to keep their sanity. For some reason they still kept taking my sisters & I. Every year since 2001 they have taken my sisters and myself & our families to Disney. I've been more times than I can remember. This will be my first cruise and I'm not sure how I'll make it to next September.

Have you thought about trying to upgrade to a suite? Your sis could stay with you and help pay the difference. The midship cat 3s have a sofa bed and murphy bed in the living room. And they also have 2 full bathrooms.

Thanks for the info. I think my sister is going to go w/ the rest of the family on the usual January WDW trip. My parents bought the three of us memberships to Saratoga Springs a few years ago. DH & I decided to break from the norm and take a walk on the wild side. Atleast for our family.
Anyone else traveling w/ children?

Our "child" will be in College and 19 years old by then so he is not included.. BUT... we do have a way of adopting Other People's Children when we go places sometimes..


So there is a possibilty of several

Oh, oh, can I join this group? I'm doing a happy dance because we're finally booked! Going with DH and our two guys who'll be 11 and 9 at the time of the cruise.

Does any one know - my younger one will be 2 months shy of his bday and would really like to hang with older brother in the Lab (they hung together alot on our last DC in Dec., but they were both in the 8 -10 year old group) - will the counselor's allow him to go with the older group since he will be so close to 10? I've read that they will allow without problem when you're within a month of birthday - but he'll be another month shy of that. Okay - hopefully that made sense.

Hello to everyone!

Hello to everyone!

Hello and Hop Aboard This is our 2nd leg of our Back to Back.. We do the Eastern on the 12th.. This is our first B2B ever... and we are sooooooooooooooo excited..........

We don't have youngin's so I'm not sure how strict they are with age but I would assume that wouldn't be a problem to keep sibblings together

 

[JsMom2]

Welcome to the newcomers!

Yes, you should be able to keep your sons together with no problem. On our first DCL cruise my DD was 4 months shy of her 5th birthday. We asked to put her in the 5-7 year old group with her cousin and they immediately said yes. They understand that you know your kids best, and will work with you.

You are all awesome! I love this board - there's always someone who has an answer to your questions - it's great! I've been lurking for some time now and finally decided to "hop on board" I'm hoping to "meet" some folks before our next cruise!

Hello to all! Fresh off the Magic 4/5-12 western cruise with DH and DD6. While on board we booked for 9/19/09 with friend and fellow diser yonkersgirl and her family (DH,DS8 and DD5) and two other friends. Decided to toss our hat into the ring. I mean we have a mere 521 days til we board the Magic again for another memory filled week of fun. Thus no time to waste! Guess it is the Cruise withdrawl talking!!! We did the Fishextender thing for the first time last week and the kids all LOVED it. So if any of you lot want to get in on the FE action speak up. I Know Yonkersgirl and I are both game.
Other than that lets hope the next 521 days fly by so we can get this party started!
