Just booked on this cruise. It will be me, DH, and DS 11 for our first cruise. We will be staying at AK for 3 nights prior to the cruise so we dont miss MVMCP! Looking forward to this cruise!!

That is what we are trying to do. Hit the christmas party and then relax and go on the cruise.

Hello fellow cruisers!
I am a Virginia grandma who will be traveling with my son's family from Pennsylvania. It will be my son, dtr. in-law and their 8 yr. old dtr., plus me.
We have been booked forever, but I didn't think anyone had started a thread yet.
This is their first Disney Cruise (and at Christmas!!) so right now I think I'm more excited than them because I know what to expect.
We're staying at a DVC villa at Saratoga Springs for three nights before the cruise and will get to experience all the holiday magic at the park too. Life is good.
We're booked into a cat. 4 so I guess the chance of being upgraded on board is nil. Although I wouldn't fight it if they wanted to move us to concierge service.
Looking forward to sailing with you.

Hello fellow cruisers! DD, who will be 9 at the time, and I are taking our first Christmas (and our second Disney) cruise. We did the 3-day last August and loved it. We actually booked this cruise while on that one.

We look forward to meeting all y'all! Looking for playmates for dd, so if you have a 7 - 10 year old dd (or other family member) please pm me. We met a lovely family here before our last cruise. They had an dd8 as well, and the girls had a great time together on the cruise. We were all so glad we had met here before the cruise and planned to get the girls together.

I'm sooooo excited! I can't wait to get on that ship!!

just contacted Dreams Unlimited for a quote for this cruise to celebrate my mom's graduation from her PhD in nursing education. We have never been on a Disney cruise before and in fact this will only be our second cruise ever!

My name is Jennifer and I am from Washington, D.C. My folks live in my hometown of Toledo, OH. Unfortunately my husband is not going to be able to come with us as he does not have enough vacation time. We are going to be at WDW for a week in March, 2011 for Spring training and this November we are going to Hawaii. Sadly, he does not get as much time off as me!

Looking forward to meeting some people!

Hey y'all-

A few more new DCL cruisers checking in. Myself, DW, her parents, her sister & brother-in-law, and her niece (8) and nephew (9) will all be sailing in Cat 9 rooms. Most of us (save DW and her parents) haven't even been on a cruise of any kind, so we're all wicked excited. It's taking the place of Christmas for her side of the family.

Katy and I are going to do a land trip beforehand, staying a few nights at POP and hitting up MVMCP....the party is also going to be new for us.

Look forward to meeting some of y'all on board.

Her birthday is April 10, 2009. This will be her first taste of Disney! My DS has been to WDW several times with his first visit at 10 months. I can't wait to see her face when she sees Mickey for the first time!

It is a always a great time to enjoy Disney with family! We are definitely a Disney family!

DD B'Day is May 28, 2009 and yes her favorite character is Mickey. Mickey and Minnie were her first fur characters she met at WDW at age 5 months. Most recent character encounter was Pooh and Tigger over Memorial day for her first B'day and she really liked them too.

I'm so glad she has enjoyed her character encounters! We are counting down and can't wait to introduce our DD to the characters. I'm not sure what to expect as far as the cruise goes but I'm sure we will have a great time! My DS asks every day if we are leaving for "Mickey's Big Boat". He is soooo excited!

This is our 2nd Disney Cruise. Looking forward to the extra nt. Did the 3 nt Wonder in 2008. What do you do at the extra at sea day?

Anyone going with older "kids" ours are 17 and 21, girls.

 

[lovetotravel07]

Do they do anything special for the holidays on the ship? What's there to do differently/special on the whole day at Sea?

Now that more people have posted, is anyone wanting to do the FE exchange? If we are mostly 1st time cruisers (we are), maybe not, but I think I want to make an FE anyway because they are so cute. Just a thought...

 

[lovetotravel07]

Not to sound dumb, but what is an FE exchange? Anybody with older teens?
