I am just trying to keep this minimally active so that if people are booking, they will know where to find us.

[cctimmom]

Hi,
Myself, husband, son - just about 7, and son -9 time of cruise, and my parents are all looking forward to our first Disney cruise. If anyone has any tips, I would love to hear them.

 

[annronnieb]

Hi,
I'm surprised to see so many people from MA are on this cruise. We also have boys ages 7 and 9 going 4/18/09 cruise. My parents are joining us also. Can't wait!

 

[castlegazer]

Hi there! Welcome annronnieb I will add you guys to the first page!

There is a preponderance of people from Mass on this cruise - it's because we are one of the few states, along with our NE cousins, that have a school vacation this week.


ANNOUNCEMENT: The DIS webmasters have announed that everyone should please keep an eye out on the main board for news tomorrow. A webmaster has already announced that there will be something big coming from cruise. Please keep watch!

For the next few days, I think we should all congregate here rather than on the other site. Its easier to chat and keep watch together here on one thread rather than a ton of them.

don't forget to use the other site to introduce yourself and post pics!

My son will be 7 for the cruise too! Awesome!

Be sure to look at the first page of the thread to see who is going. Those in red are who we know are still on the cruise!

Happy to have you join us!

Looks like it may be a no go for us to get any kind of discount for this cruise. here is the unofficial news thus far this morning:

DCL Kids Cruise Free Promotion

Children 12 and under cruise free* when traveling with 2 full fare in stateroom
3-Night Sailings 1/22 - 5/28/2009 only
Category 4 - 12 only
New bookings 12/10/2008 - 02/15/2009**
Staterooms are limited
Not applicable to land/sea vacations

*Cruise fare only. Does not include port charges, taxes, insurance, airfare, transfers, gratuities and/or shore excursions.

**Cannot be applied to current bookings. Current reservations would need to be 'reshopped' which could result in increase tier price, loss of stateroom, loss of dining time, loss of Palo reservations. If you chose to reshop make sure you have the DCL agent note your shore excursions as they may have to be added back on afterwards.

Edited to add:

Cannot be combined with any other offer from DCL:

OMG if that were for the 7-night cruises (meaning if we could have gotten this for our cruise) I would have been a raving nut bag!

 

[castlegazer]

I will be posting this on the other site too, but we are going to have a change of cabin number.

we just downgraded to a Cat 12 Guarantee! I am actually extremely excited! Funny how losing your verandah can make one excited, but it has. We are making final payment today!

I am just going to still post over here because nothing is happening over on the other page and its hard to check all the threads over there. I will still use it for personal info like cabin number (once we get it), pics and such, though.

I am doing the paid in full dance
WOOOHOOOO!!!!!

I was also just thinking that maybe I can't now participate in the FE because I won't know my final cabin number until really in the terminal, as we are hoping to buy an upgrade. Hmmmmmm........


So, Its getting close - I am going to start a countdown until the 90 day booking window! I am so excited!


27 DAYS UNTIL 90 DAY BOOKING WINDOW OPENS (26 TO BE TECHNICAL SINCE ITS IN THE NIGHT OF THE 26TH DAY)



HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

We got wallopped for the past two weeks, as I am sure all the rest of your have. We got hit very, very hard with the ice and then we got a good foot of snow over the last 48 hours. Its been a little mor white than I really need my Christmases to be right now! Hope you all are OK!

I'm sorry, but we must leave. We can't do this cruise. But I'm happy, because I'm pregnant and we switched into the Westbound Transatlantice Cruise in 2010. And then we will be three....me, my husband and my 1 year old Baby. I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year and I hope everybody will enjoy the Cruise

Bye,bye

CONGRATULATIONS MARION!!!!!!!!!!

That will be one awesome cruise for your family!!!!

Merry Christmas!


WELCOME BEGINSTERS!!!!!!!

Check out the first page of this thread for who is going and the ages of their children. I have a soon to be 7 year old going on the cruise, but I think that means he will not be in the same club because an 8 year old is in the Oceanear's Lab. But we have friends coming with us who have a son that age!

 

[annronnieb]

Welcome pkoles!!!!

We live in Worcester! You are among many MA families on this cruise. Our friends are going who are from Westborough too.

There are a lot of teenagers going, it seems. Check out the first page and find out which families have kids your same age. The ones on red are still verified as being on the cruise at this time - the others we either have heard from that they are not coming or they have not checked in in a while.

annronnieb, I don't know the answer to this question as its personal and may be based on your rotation which we won't know until we check in. I personally was thinking about Key West night, but I don't know if I will do this or not. I have to get my act in gear to think this through soon though as its only..........
