December 11, 2010. 7 Night Western - Magic

[glennjudy1]

We are doing the cruise first and planning on staying at WDW through Christmas, our first time ever.

Has anyone booked on the Disney Dream yet? We thinking about booking in April 2011 (wow, that seems like a long way in the future).

G'day all. Unfortunately we say farewell before we sail. Due to a change in circumstances, we are no longer on this cruise. We have had to transfer to a January 2010 cruise instead. Hope you all enjoy this cruise and perhaps we'll cross paths on another one in the future.

So you lost one but gained one!
My family and I are jumping from the Dec 4th Eastern to your cruise and I can't tell you how relieved I am to be doing it! This will be our 4th DCL cruise. It's me, DH, DD12, DD11, DS9 & DD6 at sailing. We are trying to talk our friends into joining us but no luck so far!
I look forward to getting to know all of you over the next year! (and now I will be gonig back to read 5 pages of posts to catch up!)

Well that didn't take as long as I expected to catch up! I guess I'm used to the meets with 100+ people to get to know! I think I'm gonna like our little group!

arje & HallsofVA so sorry you are leaving just as I get here...How are we gonna post important info on the 1st page when you two are the only ones who were posting on there?? Maybe the Mods can help us with that. Or maybe someone here is gonna have to create a webpage for us! haha! Any takers?

We considered it but now we are going to wait to book on board. It seems like the prices are comparable to 2009 prices on the wonder so I didn't see the need to jump in and give Disney anymore of my money to hold onto for now. Especially with Christmas coming!

alas we also are jumping ship so to say we have had to move our cruise to the Dec 29,2011 5 day on the Dream so have fun and know we are thinking of you all ! Enjoy

My DH and I just got off the Magic 7 day Eastern. We booked this 7 day Western while we were on the cruise. Not sure if we will keep it yet as we also have a family vacation to WDW scheduled and 2 weeks of vacation time in December may not be possible for me. But for now, we're booked!

It makes it seem really real now that it is under the year mark. I am trying to play mind games with myself....thinking ok gotta do Christmas then Easter then daughters graduation. So by that point we are talking 6mths. If I want to be even more crazy I can through in how busy summer is with two kids. Then back to school......I guess I really am just a sad sad case!!!

Hi

I have just swapped our 4 nights Disney Wonder cruise to the 7 night Western

This will be our first disney cruise (first cruise for DF), and were getting married in WDW next December so this will be our honeymoon too!

Were sooooo excited! Just started making payments, going to pay a little each month so it doesnt seem so painful!

 

[Trigal]

We booked this cruise online but we were on the Wonder this December and re-booked so we could take advantage of the discount. There will be two of us and this will be our 5th Disney cruise. We have been trying to take one cruise a year as it is a way for us to really get away from the office. They have tracked me down all over the country but it seems if I leave the country they don't want to call internationally. Looking forward to some site seeing and relaxing.

Now that we are officially in 2010.....the cruise seems even closer. I am not sure how everyone else is dealing with cruise withdraw but my husband and I at least once a week log on to see pictures of food or the picture of the day. The last time we cruised was in 2003, so we are long over due.

Happy New Year Everyone

We're still in the planning stages, but chances are very, VERY good that I will be booking this cruise in the next month. It'll be me, DH, DS (6), & DD (19).

We've been on a 4 night cruise but that just wasn't long enough. Also, we decided that we dislike the Bahamas even more than Jamaica. So, with this cruise we won't have to go to either one of those. Plus, it's going to my & my DH's favorite cruise destination...Cayman Islands!

 

[SILLYANDI]

I'm glad to see there is life on our meet! It seemed for a while there everyone was jumping ship! I look forward to getting to know all of you.
Any DD's 10-12 at cruising out there that would want to get to know my DD's via emails or such? My girls are bugging me to "find them friends from the cruise!" because we have done this everytime in the past so that they would have built in playmates!

I know what you mean! I'm hoping as we get closer this thread will get a lot more active!

The last 2 cruises we did I always felt like I was missing stuff even though I was on the board daily-it was that busy! It's kinda weird to come to this ghost town..haha

But looking at the up side, maybe this means we will have a 1/2 full ship! That would be great!

 

[BrennaM]

Well we booked it finally...I've been on cruises before but this will be a first for my DH and my 2 DDs (13 and 12 at time of cruise).

We are from Ontario, Canada and are really looking forward to when we can escape the cold winter to cruise under the beautiful Caribbean sun!

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

 

[gemmybear83]

Welcome BrennaM!

Do you think we can the first post of this thread altered or something so we can update it? This is my first DCL cruise and I don't know much abut how these threads work otherwise I would give it a try!!!

 

[BrennaM]

I'm not sure how it works myself. I found this thread through the sticky topic for cruise meets. I'd love for it to get more active that is for sure! Also perhaps a list of users put in the main post as well as kids ages etc.

 

[krisngreg]

Our DD will be 12(turning 13 on the cruise) and 15. They do not know we are going. We just told them we are going to Florida. If I can hold out and not spill the beans. If I crack under the pressure then I am sure the kids would love to get to know each other via computer.

[BrennaM]

heheh good luck on that one! We surprised our kids one year by not tellling them that their friends were going to be in Florida at the same resort at the same time as us and it was really hard not to tell. Of course we only had to keep mum about it for 2 months....you have 11!

If you do crack we for sure have to get them to communicate online. I'm hoping they can go on knowing they have a few friends they can get together with.
