Hi all,
Thank you all for the posts you've contributed. It really helped us decided to take our first family cruise with Disney. We've chatted with a lot of friends who have either done other cruiselines and Disney World as a combo vacation, and some who have tried
DCL. Based on everything I've read, I think the higher cost tag will be worth it. We are from WI, so a December cruise sounds awesome to us!
My DH (38 y/o) & I (37 y/o) have been on one cruise (
RCCL) together a couple of years ago, which we loved. We decided to take our DD (8 y/o) with us this time around. This will be her first trip to FL, so we're very excited. She's 8, so we want to take her to Disney before she's "too old" for it. Right now, she LOVES the Disney princesses, and is old enough to keep these memories forever.
I signed up for the Disney Chase card for all of the great sign up bonus/incentives and rewards for using it to book our cruise. It arrived earlier this week, so I just used it to book a guarantee I/S cabin for the three of us today. This cruise was an excellent deal for us. We decided to go with the inexpensive room, so that we can splurge on the excursions and extras while on board.
We are looking forward to meeting everyone and participating in the FE (I think I got that right). I would love to join the facebook group, but the link doesn't work for me, maybe it's private. Would someone send me the details on how to join the FB page and the FE for gift giving/receiving?
Would love any advice on the best kid activities for an 8 y/o girl, and/or excursions.
Thanks so much,
~ Super excited to be cruisin' !
