[dzneprincess]

hey martel, why dont you join my family and knilsens family on Capt Bryans We can have a mini DIS meet on the catamaran?? Sounds like fun

 

[SuzPasq]

Karen (KEH),
Thanks for the welcome. We actually were planning to go on the 10/24 cruise this year, but instead were booked in December. (12/13--Eastern Itin this time) What a great idea though to organize your own Trick or Treating. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. I'm going to search through past threads and see if anyone from our upcoming sailing is posting here.

 

[dzneprincess]

So you're not sailing with us suz?

 

[gumball711]

I am new here but we will be on this cruise also neet to see people talking about the same cruise we will be taking we are in cabin 2502. Anyone wanna give us some ideas what goes on on these boats. Its our first cruise we are bring 3 year and 6 year old my self whom act 4 when DISNEYFIED and dear hubby. So I saw you all planning to meet up how is that working. I am so looing forward to this trip!

 

[dzneprincess]

Glad you found us gumball! This is my 2nd DCL cruise, so I am not quite as experienced as others. But I will give a shot to your questions asked on the other thread.

We are also booked on deck 2, and from what I have read here on the DIS boards it is kinda nice. It is easier to debark when we are in port.

I do see that your stateroom is on the noisy list, I am not sure how bad it can be. Maybe someone here has stayed in a "noisy" room and can help you with that. Did you book throughDCL directly? Maybe you can call them on Monday, and request a different stateroom? I wouldn't worry about paying for an upgrade. Sure it would be nice, but if you are like us, we hardly spent any time in our room! When you get to port, you inquire about the cost of an upgrade then, and it may be cheaper than doing it upfront. Also, it is rare, but DCL has been known to upgrade folks out of the blue
We do have a TOT meet planned for the little ones, if you would like to participate, just let Ginger know. Also, Ms. Karen (KEH), rosegreenthumbs mum, is organizing a "TIRED MOMMIES MEET" for high tea in Palo If you have the time you should go back and skim over the thread, there is some very useful info within these pages! LOL

Again, WELCOME ABOARD!

 

[gumball711]

Sure it will be nice to meet up for both, holloween and the tea that would be cool. I have never done a cruise so for me this should be interesting my biggest fear is that we have a tiny space for the 4 of us. But you are right who will ve in the room. Hopfully not us. We didnt really go out of our way to go out on other trips but we never seems to say in our room for any great leagths. So i guess I will stay put but sure do wish we werent in the sound problem area. I just learned that also and I did speak with disney today and they said there wasnt anything else availabe unless I were to upgrade besides a few in the back of the ship. !!! We live and learn shall see how it goes and well. just hope. I will continue to read the post here and I did at least start to pack 6 weeks comes quick. thank you for your help and any other avice people may have please post and thank you again for your info. Much appreciated.

I was asked by "dzneprincess" if I could help and post the latest photo of her son Nataniel. I am attaching the photo below of the little cutie!!!

"Nathaniel son of dzneprincess"

 

[buzz&woody'smom]

Hey Karen- Buzz& Eoody's Mom is me Tiffiny not Dena for our High Tea?

So are we up to 30 kids?

Tiff

 

[KEH]

Sorry Tiffany - lost the plot there.

 

[Rose_Greenthumb]

My mum lose the plot?! Surely not!

 

[dzneprincess]

thank you andy! It was much appreciated!

 

[buzz&woody'smom]

Dena the baby is adorable I can not believe how much he has grown. They grow up too quickly don't they. It seems like I was just pregnant with my 27 month old

I just caught my typo in my last post. I am now Buzz & Eoody's Mom no longer Buzz & Woody's Mom. Last Halloween we did the 4 day Wonder which got back on the 31st and then MNSSHP and 4 days at WDW thus my name here of Buzz & Wood'ys Mom. My older son was Buzz and the baby was Woody.

This year since they will be Peter Pan and a Pirate I should change my handle to Peter Pan & Captain Hook's Mom

My poor 27 month old, my 5 year olds Peter Pan costume came in the mail and I did not end up getting my 2 year old the Captain Hook costume from the Disney Store. I thought he would balk at the ruffled shirt aka "dickie" and shoe covers and God forbid he get the sword...........so I found an adorable Pirate costume from a online costume place.

Anyhoo my 5 year old tried on his Peter Pan costume and my poor 2 year old kept saying "Where's Hook, Moma go pay"...........that was one of the first times he has caught on that he did not have something..........it broke my heart so I hope that dang Pirate costume gets here asap

Are we up to 30 TOT's???

Tiff

 

[SuzPasq]

Can't figure out how to reply w/quote. But to answer someone's question--no, we're not sailing on the Halloween cruise this year. We were on the Magic 7nt last year, though. This year we're doing 12/13 for 7nts. Can't wait!

Thanks Ginger for the updated ToT list! Am I reading it right, there are only 5 staterooms greeting all these kids?

dzneprincess, he's so cute! I can't believe how big he's getting. Just seems like yesterday he was born! I was watching my Katie run today, and I can't believe how fast she's grown.

We changed our return plans. We did have reservations at Coronado Springs for 2 nights after the cruise, but we changed to the Polynesian. Figured with the baby, being right on the monorail might be easier. Anyone else staying at Disney after the cruise?

Tina

 

["Ginger"]

Actually, Poohbush the kids will have about 20 staterooms to hit.

Nathaniel is getting so big and yes he is just a cutie.

Hi everyone!
I have not posted on this page since about, um, the very begining. I have, however, read every post. We will be on the October 25th cruise with you guys, and I have to say, we CAN'T WAIT!!!! This will be our first cruise ever.
We will be at the Raddison the day before. There will be me, DH,Dtwins(turning 10 in Key West), DM,DD, and 3 Dfriends.
My DD has been e-mailing with rwpeterson's DD. This way they will "know" each other once they get on board. Are there any boys out there interested in e-mailing my DS?
Now that Ginger has changed the time of Tor T, we would like to join you guys for it. We will be in 6108, 2 children.
As far as excursions, we have something planned at every port.

Key West: Parasail
Grand Caymen: Stingray and Island Tour/ Atlantis Sub.
Cozumel: Dolphin Encounter

My DD is going to participate in the Talent Show on the ship. She is going to play the Mickey Mouse March.

After the cruise we will be going to Universal. That is a first for us too.
If anyone trades pins, I am sure my DD will be out in full force!!! We have been saving all of our change so our Dtwins have pocket money. DD's will surely go to pins, and DS will have to be pried from the Arcade.

Gotta go get ready to start our day!!!
Lauren

 

[carole88]

dzneprincess - Nathaniel is absolutely adorable! What a wonderful picture. How old is he? Is he also coming on the cruise?

laurenk - It's also our first cruise ever and we are also very excited. Sorry, I don't have any boys to email your DS, I have 2 DD ages 9.5 and 6.5. They have also been emailing other kids and can't wait to really meet them. We'll see you at the Radisson!

Ginger - I just wanted to clarify something about the T or T. The kids are going to go to all of our staterooms so we should be prepared to give out treats. Do we run ahead when it is our turn or should someone stay behind in the stateroom to greet them? Thanks.

 

["Ginger"]

I have posted only the stateroom number of those who have told me they wish to participate.

If I have posted anyones stateroom number by mistake please let me know before Sept 21. I do understand that some people might be changing rooms once they check in at the port. I will make the changes once we are aboard the ship. I will be PM'ing everyone participating to give you my last name so you can get in touch with me once we are aboard. Guest Services will be able to connect us with last names.
I will be making signs to be posted on your doors so the kids can find the rooms a littler easier. I'll also have the list for them to follow. I'm going to try to make a map of the ship like a treasure hunt map.
Carole88 we will give you time to run ahead.
