[arje]

Hi All,

We just booked for this cruise also....it will be myself, DH, and 3 daughters 22, 20 and 15. Nice to see we'll be on the same cruise again HallsofVA!

G'day and welcome, good to see some more young ladies on the cruise, my own young ladies will be pleased. This is starting to slowly build which is great. My counter is down to 475 days! Not that I'm wishing my life away, but wish it was a lot closer.

Thanks! I think we are all going through withdrawls since we're not doing one this year. Deffinately looking forward to 2010!

My DH and I just booked for our first cruise today! I am also very excited to post to this part of the DIS boards.

G'day and welcome to you too disneygirl33. We're starting to attract a crowd, good to see.

Hi there!

We'll be joining you as well
We just booked 2 cat. 10 connecting rooms on the Magic and are now counting down the days
It will be our first cruise as a family. I've been on 3 cruises before (with Carnival) and dh has been on the last one with me but it'll be our first one with DCL
We are traveling with our 4 kids : DS (9 at cruise time), DS (7), DD (5) and DS (a month shy of 3 at cruise time).
The kids are all excited. They've been looking at the DCL site and watching the DVD ever since we told them we booked. It's going to be a loooooong wait...
Looking forward to "meeting" you all

Just posting to let you know that our plans have changed, and we won't be on this cruise anymore. We'd originally had 2 rooms booked on this cruise, along with some of our friends. In August we moved one of our rooms to the Westbound Transatlantic. And since that falls too close to this one, we knew we'd need to move this one. Just today, we moved our reservation up a year to the 12/12/09 Western, and our friends moved their ressie as well.

I know you'll all have fun, and I'm somewhat sad that I won't get to be on the Magic after it's next drydock. I think I was the 2nd or 3rd person to post on this thread, so its sad to be leaving you all!

Hi all,

We will also be joining you after just booking a few days ago.

We are also Aussies coming over for a holiday. It will be good to here another Aussie accent on the ship Arje.

We will be travelling with our two kids, both girls 5 & 7 at time of cruise. They are most excited at meeting kids from other countries.

This will be our first cruise. Doing the whole Disney thing with WDW and cruise.

This is our first post after checking sites before booking so be gentle with us!

Looking forward to meeting you all.

 

[arje]

HallsofVa, shame to see you go. But at least your'e still cruising on another one. Hope you enjoy it.

G'day Tanooki and blackduck, glad you can join us. Blackduck, my wife and I were wondering if we would come across any Australians and just how many made the mammoth Perth like trek across East to do WDW and more important, the cruise. Looking forward to meeting you both Tanooki and Blackduck.

Hey Disneygirl33,
nice to see a fellow canadian on board, we are from Manitoba, looking forward to seeing you on board.

 

[Tanooki]

Although some people in Quebec might not consider themselves as Canadians, I am not one of them, so you can say that we'll be six more Canadians on board as well

 

[newrygirl]

Tanooki,
welcome to our cruise, how old will your kids be when we cruise?

 

[kcashner]

We're on this cruise...but you guys are WAY early. THe cruise is still more than a year away. I have 3 more booked before I get to this one!!!! Yeah, I'm an addict.

Will check back later.

Wow, wow, wow! I wish I was taking this cruise just to sail (and learn) from you! I have appreciated your responses to my questions as I studied about DCL the last few months! We just returned from our 9/12/09 cruise and booked 12/11/10 while we were onboard. Unfortunately it's just our "dummy date." We plan to book in 2011 when it's available. We do plan to be in WDW in December 2010 though!

Hi everyone! We will also be joining you on this cruise. I have tried to convince DH to switch to the Wonder PC repo, but he's holding firm to this date/itinerary because he is addicted to Stingray City and DS will finally be old enough to experience it (he turns 5 the week before). I am excited to have snagged a SPH room for this sailing. Will check back later after our Double Dip this November. Can't wait to meet all of you!

3, Wow, if only. Hope you're not cruised out soon - but I highly doubt that. G'day and nice to have you.

Hi sharen24. Yeah the PC repo would be a great one to do, but I'm sure a trip around the Caribbean can't be that bad in comparison. We didn't really care where we went or even what we see. As long as we're on a Disney Cruise ship and we're back at WDW in time for xmas.

 

[sharen24]

You are right. Any trip to the caribbean is a good one! We did the eastern last year and love St. Thomas. We did the western in 2003 and loved Grand Cayman, but hated Jamaica. This year we get to add Cozumel to our list of new places and next year Key West will be the new port. It's fun to always try to mix it up a little bit, but I would be happy to go anywhere DCL wants to take me.

 

[arje]

Interested to hear why you hate Jamaica. That is one place I would love to go to, but maybe for different reasons. I am one of the many millions of Australians that just worship the game of Cricket, and Jamaica is one of those meccas to visit to watch cricket (Australia playing the West Indies of course). So curious to hear your take.

 

[Tanooki]

Hi again!

I so wish I had 3 more cruises before this one too!

We came back from WDW a month ago and we'd be ready to leave tomorrow in a heartbeat... We just love everything Disney, but we just can't do it too often. Traveling as a party of 6 gets pricey, even with all the best intentions

Our kids will be 9 (boy), 7 (boy), 5 (girl) and the baby (boy) will be 2 but a month shy of his 3rd birthday. And if the past is any indication of the future, he won't be potty trained by then but it's ok, he'll stay with us

Hope everyone is doing well and finding things to do to make time go faster. We can't wait so it's going to be a loooooong 438 days...

Hello, we will be joining on this cruise as well. There are four of us (my wife and I along with our two daughters - ages 11 & 12). This will be our third time on the Disney Magic and the thing we are most looking forward to is visiting Castaway Cay again.

DCL is one of our favorite cruiselines (Celebrity being the other) and definitely the best one for families. We're also huge Disney fans and will add a week in WDW to this cruise.

Looking forward to "chatting" with everyone as we anticipate the upcoming cruise.

 

[newrygirl]

welome glennjudy1,
we are also adding a week at wdw with the cruise, are you doing the cruise first or last?
