If we get shirts can we not get blue? I don't want to be known as a blue shirt person again.

I guess we could get lime green ones or tie dyed shirts again!!

I'll be cruising with my DD who will be 18 at the time of the cruise, we just confirmed this cruise and were just wondering who else was cruising with us. We're leaving the guys home this trip.

We are going too!!!(4/15/2006)
I just booked. It will be me my DH, DD 15, DD 6 and DS 13. See your not alone. Our next door neighbors are also planning on going with their entire extended family but they have not reserved yet. Can't wait!

Lori welcome to you and the whole gang.
Invite the neighbor to the thread too.

This time next year we will be doing our final countdowns. It will really be here before we know it.

We just found out spring break is a different week next year. We are desperately trying to get the same ressies. My agent said rooms are going fast. So I won't be going with you guys I'll be going a week earlier.

Hi all,

Just checking in with our group of 3 for the 2006 Spring Break Cruise.

It will be DW, DS 13 (who can't wait to be spend time in the Stack this trip) and
me.

Looking forward to our 5th trip on DCL and 3rd on the Magic, but our first 7 day Eastern itinerary.

It's still awhole year away but at least we get our Disney fix in November with a week at the BCV.

Lori sorry you won't be joining us but I'm sure you will have a great cruise.

Looks like you won't be cruising alone after all! My husband and I along with three of our children will be onboard. Our daughter who will be 9, and our sons who will be 8 and 6 when we board. My oldest son, 15 will be staying home with my stepdaughter who is 26. It is not our spring break so we have to pull out the younger three from school for awhile and since our son will be in his first year of high school, it is hard for him to leave. Actually, he really did not want to go this time and would rather stay home! Go figure!
Anyway, hope to meet you!
Take care!

[Cruisin'goose]

Welcome Michelle!!! I know how it is with 15 yr DS. Mine is staying home with the DH.

This time next year we will all be getting ready to head south.

We are finally starting to get some warmer weather here - I don't look like a frozen popsicle anymore. I love sunshine !!!!

 

[mjvans]

It is hard leaving my son behind, but he really doesn't want to go, and it will be so hard for him to make up the missed work as a freshman in high school.........our spring break is the first week in April so we are having to pull out our three younger kids from school. It is a much easier task when they are in elementary schools to be given school work to take or make-up work when they come home. But, we do have 2 cabins booked, so if he changes his mind, there will be room. Although I can't imagine what it would cost to add him at the last minute! Yikes!
We will be meeting up with a family we met on our 4 night Wonder in August.
Can not wait! Take care!

Michelle,

my DD will be 9.5, and my son will also be 6

we should have them email eachother next year when we get closer to the date

if everyone gets along, we should think about maybe sitting together since the kids are basically the same age

David,
sounds like a plan for sure!! Our daughter. Paige, will be 9 this May, so just shy of 10 when we board. Our son Tyler will be 8 this December our son Matthew will be 6 in Feb of 06!! Are you dining the first rotation? We are! That would be so cool to get our kids off to a great start by emailing. We met a ton of families prior to our cruise on the wonder August 29th 2004 and when we boarded the ship, prior to sailing, we all met on the aft of deck 7 for a social. It was a thrill to finally meet those we had been emailing with several months before the cruise even began!! Here is our email address and if you wish, we can get started now!!
mjvans@nwi.net
Take care!
Michelle

Michelle

my daughter will be 9 in july, and my son turns 6 in Feb '06 as well!

Sorry don't have a middle son to fit perfectly!! LOL

As Vicki can attest to, we had about 50 families communicating back and forth prior to the 10 day Christmas cruise we were just on

Sounds like a match

speak to you soon

- David

 

[EpcotLover]

Our family will be making our maiden voyage during spring break, too!

DS will be 9 and DD will be 7....both already have their itineraries planned out from the awesome dvd that was sent...

We're also bringing my mom, "Nana" for giggles.

We are so excited....never cruised before, but love the Mouse.

[djs113]

Hi Nicki

welcome aboard!

if you have any questions, just ask

we have a few cruises under our belt

we definitely have to have all the kids email back and forth next year and exchange pictures, etc.....

I will be on board the April 15, 2006 Magic with my DS15. It will be our 5th Magic cruise, we just came off the April 16th, 2005 Magic and rebooked again. I love this ship!! Can answer most questions if anyone has any. We have done the Eastern 3 times before and do excursions on our own. Saves money and we have alot more free time to do what we want. I love to snorkel, get massages, eat, drink and party on board. My son loves the Stack, spends most of his time there.

 

[Cruisin'goose]

Hey everyone - Sorry I haven't posted in a while - major computer / internet problems with my computer.

Welcome to those joining us on the cruise, especially those from Michigan!! It's always nice to have someone from your neck of the woods.

Need to get some things done so I'm off -- Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!!

Hi guys we just decided this is when we are rebooking while on board NEXT WEEK JUNE 4th YEAH!!!!!!
Thinkof us on saturday dancing the cha cha slide and drinking bahama mamas (or do they call them something different in the west) We have 11 cabins of DIS cruisers and all of us are knew to DIS not DCL. We are fumbling our way through it but I think it will come together.

We are definitely in. My children get this week for the first time ever.
It will be myself, DH (who happens to be a Michigander), DS9, DS6, DD3 maybe GM.

You Christmas cruisers----we too were on that cruise. Not a part of the DIS however. That was before we knew how much fun this could be. You guys revolutionized DIS cruising. WDWGoose wasn't it your daughter who was bingo queen? Were you the one they had to go find? I saw all of you guys over here and immediately knew this would be a fun one to be a part of. We were going to do a double dip but voted instead for you.

 

[windermerejudy]

Ok now I am really bummed. I just reviewed the dates and they were changed to the week before. You guys have fun and I will have to go find the cruisers from the previous week. So sorry to drop in on your thread.

 

[uptown_girl44]

windermerejudy i'm sorry you aren't coming with us, but have fun on your cruise. Your right i am the bingo queen and my mom was the one they had to go look for. I was really hoping there would be some people my age on the cruise ... I guess i'll just have to make friends.
