Cruisin' the Dream - November 14-17, 2013

[KPetty725]

One step closer! I just booked our pre-cruise night at the Courtyard Marriot at Cocoa Beach! Makes it seem a bit more real now! Even though we are heading to WDW in less than 2 weeks, I would love to get airfare booked when airtran and SW release their Nov dates. Should happen in a few days!!

I'm waiting for Southwest too! I think we're going to have to wait until the 17th to get round trip though, right? I did book our pre-cruise night at Saratoga but I'm with you, I want to book flights! Wish I was joining you at WDW!!! Are you going to be there for the 24-hour day?

No, this is a short trip for us, May 15 - 20. It was originally just supposed to be DH and I, but we caved pretty early on and made it a trip for all of us again. But we will get to WDW sans kids one day!! Geesh do you really think we will have to wait until the 17th!! I have no patience!!

LOL!!! I tried to get to NY with DH in June but just couldn't make it happen. These darn kids are too needy!

The only reason I think that about the flights is because I jumped on there May 1st thinking they would have the November flights released. Everything but the 1st of November was grayed out so I just left it on the default of November 1st departure and November 2nd return and it wouldn't let me even pull it up. Doesn't SW know people plan vacations further than 6 months out?!?!

Whoo boy, Airtran has released their Nov dates and prices. $456 one way??? Yikes, not good. Hopefully their prices will settle down within the next few days. I really want to book our flights!!

Ugh!!! We're waiting for Southwest's flights. Hopefully those will be more reasonable!!!

Not yet. Saw the rates, though. They look good. Unfortunately we just found out that we owe our HOA about $700 so I'm going to have to wait on booking flights. hopefully in the next few weeks I can do it!

How do you find the Facebook page. We are looking forward to this cruise so much, and hoping to find a friend for our DD6. We took a cruise on the Magic in January and she was not a fan of the kid's area.

Congrats! That must be a good feeling! We are NOT there yet! Getting super excited though! Our oldest DD will be 9 too on the cruise, and her sisters are 7 and 5 then! Maybe they will see eachother in the club!

Paid in full, with the exception of about $35.00, because I have not decided on trip insurance yet. My booking window is August 1, so we have a while to wait.

Yay for paid in full!! We are going to take it to the wire I think! End of August for us.

Pretty quiet thread, are there any more joining us for this cruise??

Us too! Waiting to make sure no unexpected summer expenses pop up. Did book flights though. Yippee!

Both of my cruises for November have really quiet threads. Hoping more people jump in once the PIF date passes!

Me and my DH will be on our first cruise for our 25th Anniversary. We have been to WDW many times and will be there pre cruise for 5 days. I did request the FB page. We have never done a cruise before so I am looking for any info I can find.

Not platinum but we are Concierge. Can't wait for booking to open next week.

No Platinum for us, this will be our first sailing as Gold. But I am not planning on booking anything anyway. We are not doing anything but relaxing and enjoying being waited on. No excursions, maybe no MDR, don't think we are doing Palo, no shows, just eating, sleeping and hopefully enjoying the sun. My only booking will be PAT.

Hi, I am a third time Disney Cruiser with my 10 year old daughter, bringing a 2nd time cruiser (my BF) and two new cruisers, my dad and his wife (retired).
We are looking to join a "fish extender" group and the "inner net" pointed us here... I'm new to the fish extender thing, but I'm looking forward to it!
