Celebrating our 2nd Anniversary- 7 Night Land and Sea May 1st-8th 2008

Thank you for the trip report. My family is looking at doing the cruise in 2010 when our twins are 5. when you book in advance can you make payments on the trip or do you have to pay up front all at once?

 

[CSwan1]

Yes, we were in WDW at the same time. There might have been lots of NH people on the cruise because my kids were on spring break that week. We flew out on 4/26 and returned home on 5/4. I think each town has a different school week, but they are around the same time period. Maybe you can join us in 2009, we set sail on 4/26?

We would love this!! I'm not sure if we will be sailing again before 2011. We really want to do one of the maiden voyages. My daughter's school vacation is actually the week prior to this. What sailing are you doing?

I'm pretty sure you can make payments. It may depend who you book with. I'm pretty sure you can make payments thru DCL (Ithink I heard they have to be over $100) A travel agent may have their own rules abou this. The balance just has to be paid 75 days from when you sail. Let me know what you decide and if I can help in any way!!

This is a picture of our Fish Extender. It's the thing hanging from the fish by your stateroom door.

The fish extenders are definatley a DIS thing. If you have a cruise meet for your sail date, they may have a FE swap already in place. We had 12 staterooms participate in our swap. Every night, certain cabins were assigned to go around and deliver goodies to the other FEs. We left thins from our home state like maple syrup and little trinkets for the kids. It was alot of fun! Check out the cruise meet thread for your cruise (or start one if there isn't one yet) and have fun with it!!

I just picked up my business cards today! Now to get them out so I can go on another cruise!! If I didn't absolutly love my current career, I could definately dive head first into this travel agent thing!! The owner of the agency I am working for has been great! I am very excited!

Lakes Region, huh- Did you get pouned by that hail storm/ tornado warning the other day? We got alot of rain. All of us NH DISers should plan a get together some time- maybe scrapbooking?? Do you scrapbook?? I love talking Disney!!

Thanks for reading my trip report!! Have a great time on your cruise!

Crystal: Did you make your FE? I was researching and it does not look too difficult. I can sew a little, but I am a fan of hot glue! I was going to ask Mom to help me with the project. How complicated can 3-4 pockets be?

Vanessa: We are heading to the lakes next week. We are going camping off of Lake Ossippee, Danforth Bay, it is in Freedom. The kids are super excited. We love that camp ground, but not as much as we love Disney.

Yeah, I made it- NO SEWING INVOLVED!! I do not/ can not sew. I used that iron on stuff. It wasn't too hard. I had fun making them.
Have a great time camping next weekend!

HI Swan,
I was just looking through your report again and wishing we were still on the Cruise. I had so much fun! My DD is on another contract on the Wonder but we won't get to go down this year. Won't see her until about October this year.
She's hoping to vacation on the Magic right after her contract, she hasn't been on the Magic before. Wow, you sure do LOVE Disney!! haha.....have fun on all your future vacations, cruising with the Mouse!!

Oh- I do hope you have fun with your DD in October. Is she going to do another contract? Will she try for the new ship? I want to be on the maiden voyage soooooo bad!

Thanks for visiting my report again! I read it over and over all the time! I miss this trip! I just have to keep telling myself- new ship, new ship, new ship!
Take care and thanks for keeping in touch!

I don't think she'll do another contract right now...but I sure hope she'll be on one of those new ships sometime!!! That would be so awesome!! She's checking into Hong Kong and Tokyo and wants to do a bit of traveling and more training (dance). So who knows where she'll end up!! Have lots of fun on your next cruise and sure hope you get to go on 'Dreams"!!
