Anyone book for this yet?? Only heard from one family. Guess we'll be the only ones on this cruise??? hahaha. I see lots of people booked for Aug 2004, not many for May 2004. GUess this must be a really good time to go?

Sorry -- not going in May. Now that oldest ds is in high school we feel that he would miss too much being gone one week so we're booked for June 19, 2004.

WE WANTED TO GO IN MAY BUT AM AFRAID TO BOOK THEN BECAUSE OF ALL THE DAYS MISSED THIS YEAR DUE TO ILLNESS AND SNOW. DS WILL GRADUATE NEXT YEAR AND THEY DON'T SET THE DATE UNTIL END OF MAR. 2004 AND I'M AFRAID WE'LL MISS GRADUATION. SCHOOL IS ALREADY GOING UNTIL JUNE 6TH THIS YEAR AND GRADUATION IS TENITIVELY SET FOR JUNE 6TH, SO WE ARE PLANNING ON GOING IN JUNE, MUCH HIGHER BUT CAN'T BE HELPED.

We are going this May. Doing the 7 night land/sea May 1-8. I think I will get the itch and book again. We will just have to wait and see. May is great for weather in the parks and at sea.

Goofygal1975 I remember when I was at 400 days wait, it will go quicker than you would believe. Happy planning

Thanks..I hope it doesn't take FOREVER to get here. At least we have our trip in June this year to help get our disney fix!!


My son is in the 2nd grade, will be in the 3rd grade when we cruise. Our school lets out on May 18th. We're cruisin on the 16th Wonder. He will miss at least the last 2 days of school, maybe 3 if I take him out that Friday to go stay at WDW for a few days. I've posted on the Family board about that, and seemed to come up with the same opinion. He wont miss much from the last few days in elementary school, except som fun!! And we'll be having fun on our cruise. I know that is MUCH different for higher grades. IT's a shame what a difference in ONE week from another is $$$ money wise.

Well, all in all, can't wait for our May 2004 cruise, and hope to meet some DisBoarders before then. I know i've got a while yet....so I'll wait patiently...haha!!

We're cruising in May 2004. My Son will be in First grade (we're taking him out of school for this) and our daughter will be 4.
We're going 5/8 (Western) and his school doesn't get out until June. If both our Kids were older (higher grades) we'd wait until June but I think missing 1 week of First grade won't be hard for him to catch up on. The price difference from May to June in unbelievable!

Happy Planning

I'm going May 8th too! I will have my then 4 year old and my friend will have her then 14 year old high school student with us....Our school doesn't end until the last week of June and the whole month of June is Regents testing so we figured better do it in May so the 14 year old doesn't miss the tests. She is a high honors student so she should have no trouble catching up with missing a week or so of school. May 8th was the cheapest week to cruise out of March,. April and May so that is why we picked that one!

Sorry we going to miss you but we are going in May too but May 8th. I agree with everyone on the price difference between June and May. My dd will in 1st grade when we go. Our school does independent study which gives you credit for missed school days. Otherwise, we'd be in big trouble if we missed 5 days of school. Anyways, we'll be doing homework on the cruise with the independent study but it will be totally worth it.
