December 11, 2010. 7 Night Western - Magic

[BrennaM]

Well our thread needs a bump and I hope we get more people chatting as well. I'd love to get to know some of the people that we are cruising with. I suppose I'll start with myself and family.

First off we are from Ontario, Canada as I mentioned before. My DH (43) and I (37 soon to be 38) own our own business and are making up for many years of no vacations finally over the last few years. It started off with one trip to Florida a year and then snowballed from there. Needless to say we became DVC members and LOVE using our points.

We are easy going people that enjoy a good mix of relaxation and activity/sight seeing during our trips. I think this cruise will be perfect for us.

My DDs will be 13 and 12 during the time of the cruise...the youngest just having turned 12 on the 23rd of Nov. It was my oldest that got us into doing the yearly Disney thing. She handed us a piece of paper when she was 5 that had an 800 number on it and told us that she wanted to go here. We had no idea what number it was and so we called it. I'm sure you can guess what it was for. It didn't take much for us to decide to do a Disney trip, my hubby and I were big fans already.

Some of our favourite Characters would have to be:

Dan (DH) - Donald Duck - Anything Donald and he is a happy man.
Brenna - This is hard for me to choose really. I would have to say I have several...Mickey and Minnie of course. You gotta love the mouse! Daisy, Pluto and Chip and Dale.
Danielle (DD) - Goofy is her favourite I would say atm.
Alyssa (DD) - Loves Stitch because he is such a trouble maker, and Eeyore because she thinks he just needs lots of love to make him happier.

I'm sure there are more for my girls, but those are the ones that are in the brain atm.

So that is it for now..I hope to hear from more of you soon!

OK...I guess it is my turn.

We are from St. Louis Missouri and it is so cold right now that all I can think about is sandy beaches.

My husband and I did our big vacation in 2003 with a Cruise and since then to no avail have we been able to make it back on either ship. We have done little things with the kids each year but once you go Disney it's hard to compare other things.

I work from home and my husband works for a helicopter flight service. We also are an easy going laid back family, unless our two daughters start in on each other and then I have to get involved due to it drives me crazy.

Our daughters will be 15 (freshman) and turning 13 on the ship (7th grade).

As far as our favorite characters......that's a hard one. When I see any of them it puts a smile on my face. But the big guy (mickey is pretty special).

My daughters have not watched a cartoon disney movie in some time so I am not 100% sure which is there favorite at the moment.

Kristin, Greg, Miranda and Meagan

Hi Everyone well I'm Nichole traveling with DH Shawn. We booked in Sept 09 on our DCL wedding cruise. So this will be a late anniversary present to each other. We live in Delaware & have no kids. This will be our 3rd disney cruise.
Can't wait to meet everyone.

 

[BrennaM]

Welcome aboard Nichole! What a great anniversary present! I'm sure you and the DH will have a really romantic time on your cruise!

Glad to see some new life on our meet. I have sent a request to the mods asking to delete the first few posts so we could put important info on our 1st page, with no response. It sure would make things a lot easier-since the people who posted all over the front page aren't even on our crusie anymore?

Anyway, I am Andrea. Cruising will be myself 37, DH 38, DD 12, DD 11, DS 9 and DD 6 at time of sailing. This is our 4th Disney cruise. We are planning on a few days after the cruise at the parks, no real plan yet (which is totally out of character for me-usually by now I would be fully in planning mode but I just don't have it in me this trip for some reason?!)

Can't wait to get to know all of you!

Hey Andrea, Glad to see some life happening in our meet! Looks like your 2 oldest DDs will be in the same areas as my two!

I was wondering if we should start a new thread and have them delete this one and then use the new one as the link for our meet.

As for why you aren't excited...perhaps you just need to find something new to achieve during this cruise. For me I have to discover so much information about what to do, when to book things etc. (I've got my Mickey ear magnets already printed out and put on my fridge with a fake room number heheheh. My DH thinks I'm nuts, but he loves it cause it has started him to get excited really early about going as well.)

Woo hoo! Glad to see some life in this cruise at last!

Were Gemma and Henry, were both 26 and this is our first Disney Cruise. Were coming from the U.K to get married in WDW (and bringing 15 members of our family ), and then were honeymooning on the Magic and having a couple of nights at the Villas at Wilderness Lodge following cruise!

Going to book airfare at the end of the month - need to get in there early to get the cheap rates

I started a new thread for us so that we can have a fresh home page to post updated info on. Here is the link. I have also requested that the link be added to the list so new cruisers can find us.

So now that we have officially started over (or at least are trying to) I will go back through the old list and try to determine who is still with us and start a cruisers list...
