JUST MOVING IT TO FIRST PAGE

 

[Buckeye Princess]

Hello! We will be on the 12/4 cruise too! As of now it'll be DH, myself, DD who will be 2 this Jan and DS who is due Dec 5th. We took DD to WDW for her first birthday so we decided to take DS on a cruise for his first. This will be our second cruise, we took our first this past Aug. Although it is just the 4 of our for now, I wouldn't be surprised if my in laws come. They all came down to WDW for DD first birthday. We are taking a big family trip in May to a dude ranch so I'm not sure if they'll be up for a second vacation in the same year but I hope so.

Hi Scotty!

Thanks for the welcome! I'm so excited about this cruise...excited and nervous. I'm not sure how I'll handle the movement. I get motion sickness and I'm hoping that I wont feel it on this big ship.

I've been soaking up every bit of info I can get on the dream...it's like slowly unwrapping a present. Silly huh?

THE SKIES WERE CLEAR BUT THERE WAS A WIND. BUT WE SLEPT THRU IT. BUT IN DEC YOU ARE PAST THE STORM SEASON.

 

[dvc deernut]

yep i know the area well. You will have to let me know when you will be in windsor again on a weekend, my wife and i will come over and meet you. By the way the little town i lived in outside of windsor was amherstburg.

ive been to amherstburg a few times doing the art by the river show in aug. I stayed right on the river one time. The other times i would drive up to windsor and stay at the ivy rose motel. It seemed to always rain at the fort for that show. I havent done it in about 5 years. Some day laura and i will have to come down to visit my cousins in livonia.

 

[dvc deernut]

Hi DVC Deernut!

Wow! 8 cruises...you guys are pros! We're DVC OKW owners too! Thanks for telling me about the storm season...I feel a bit better now.

What is the FE that folks keep talking about?

GOOD MORNING. We found out what the FE was last year. Only on Disney cruises do you have FEs.

Thats what an FE looks like. FE stands for Fish Extender. Everytime we cruised Disney we noticed these cloth hangers with pockets hanging off the Fish beside the door. Last year I signed us up for the FE on the DVC member cruise. We will be doing it again on the member cruise in Sept. We had about 60 people signed up including the Kids. About 20 cabins. ITs fun! As the year goes by on the thread before the cruise Cruisers sign up on the thread and one of the Posters runs the FE. I will try to keep track of this one if nobody else will. What you do is bring either something you made or bought for each person on the list. An inexpensive little gift. For example we are from Canada so i brought something related to where im from. Then once your on the ship sometime during the cruise you go around to the Cabins on the list and slip something in their pockets. And everyone else will be doing it to yours. Its a fun thing to add to an already fun filled cruise. Any further questions I know someone will answer them
