I just booked last week. I wanted to make sure I got in under the fuel surcharge wire that they are going to tack on at the end of May. It will be my husband and myself, and we got a great rate - $793.00 for the 2 of us!(no ins or transportation included) We always get a Category 12, & hope for an upgrade. If not, we don't mind a 12, or we pay for an upgrade at the port.

We have our 2008 cruise this Sept., but I'm excited about Sept 2009 as well.

It's nice to meet you! We have a cat 12 also, I figure since it will be just the two of us we don't need the cat 10 since this is a trip without the kids. Have fun on your cruise this Sept!

 

[dis ms.]

We'll be there, too.

We were booked on the Sept. 28 cruise that got cancelled when they changed the dry dock dates. They moved us to this cruise. It will be me, DH, our two kids and my parents.

Can't wait!

We'll be here too! This will be our 3rd DCL cruise but first time on the Wonder.

This cruise will be so relaxing after 8 days at the parks.

Hi everyone,

We are now booked on this cruise too! It will be me and DH in our cabin this time. We took our first Disney cruise this past June and loved it! The June cruise was just three nights to "test the waters," no pun intended. My SIL and BIL are in the cabin beside us too. We have booked another cruise for June of 2009 too (seven night Western) and will be taking our granddaughter.

Maybe we can start a fish extender group for this cruise. We did this in June and it was lots of fun.

Hi everyone,

Maybe we can start a fish extender group for this cruise. We did this in June and it was lots of fun.

I was thinking about this also. I think it would be a lot of fun and all the past ones have looked like a lot of fun.

Thanks in great part to the Season of Disney show on Disney Cruise Lines yesterday (I kinda suckered DH into watching it) we may be joining you all on this cruise for my 40th Birthday present and our first ever cruise!! It helps that we would also be on ship for his birthday too!!

I have a friend who just went on her first Disney Cruise in June (the Double Dip 6/29) and she sent me the Navigators, some other papers and while watching the show I whipped them out for him. He in "intrigued" now

It would be (ages will be at the time of sailing):

Me - 40
DH - 42
DD1 - 14
DD2 - 10
DS - 7

Will keep you posted once I talk to AAA and get a price from them. I looked at the DCL site and there is nowhere to add in a AAA discount

Anyway - nice to "meet" you all

Hi everyone.

We have just booked this cruise! Me (34), DH (35).

It is our first time on a cruise....I would be interested in doing the fish extenders too. We are spending 13 nights at WDW before the cruise and then a further 4 nights at WDW on our return!

I'm getting way too excited already! Looking forward to meeting some fellow DISers onboard.

 

[Pinky166]

WOO - HOO!! One year today and we'll be cruising!! ​

Hi everyone -
This will be my family's first cruise. It will be me, my husband, our 3 daughters and my parents. We are all very excited! I have 1 question though...what is a fish extender group?

Thanks,
Jessi

Hi Jessi...this will be me & my husbands first cruise too.....I am really looking forward to it!

The fish extenders - I will describe this as best I can as I have never done it but basically there is a fish outside your cabin door, where DCL can leave messages for you. Then someone came up with the idea to make Fish Extenders (pockets that hang from the fish). Some people make their own but they can be bought on Ebay - i've seen them!
Someone from your cruise thread will make a list of everyone (names, ages, room numbers etc) and then you all buy little gifts for each other to put in the extenders on various days so when you come back to your cabin you have little surprises from fellow DIS friends.

Hopefully if I have missed any information out someone will correct me, hopefully that explains it to you.

So my WONDERFUL Fiancee' booked us on this cruise today. The best part is we are getting married while on board. Its just going to be her and I as we are leaving the kiddos at home. Just wanted to say AHOY to my new shipmates... Looking forward to chatting with our fellow cruisers..

 

[DCLbrideSept2009]

I would be that "wonderful fiancee" who just booked the cruise/wedding today!! After going back and forth and back and forth about what I wanted to do for our wedding and never being able to make a decision, I stumbled across Fairytale weddings and the DCL weddings and... BINGO! THAT'S IT!!! I knew right away it was what I wanted. Luckily I have an amazing fiancee who thinks the same way I do and is a Disney nut just like I am!!! we're like 2 little kids impatiently waiting for our trip!!!!

 

[Mommy_of_3Princess's]

I was just wondering how common upgrades are and how they work. Do they try to sell you in to a bigger room at a discounted price just like the hotels? I'm trying to decide wether to just book the smaller rooms and pray for an upgrade or just give in and book the bigger room right off. We're going to be adding another little one just before the cruise so now it'll be 4 Adults, 4 Children split into 2 rooms. And if anyone has any tips I wold LOVE them. This is our 1st cruise. I saw someone say something about a AAA discount, how good of a deal is it?

Thanks for anyone who responds to this,
Jessi
