Hi Steve! I'm Kristen, my DH is Blake and my DD Emma, & son Brendan (8 and 5 at time of sailing) will also be on the cruise! My DH & I have been on 2 cruises (on Princess), but this will be our first cruise as a family and our first Disney Cruise

 

[Kris10luvsDisney]

Steve- I just noticed you are from NY. We are too! Where are you located?

We are about 45 minutes north of NYC.

 

[SNicksed]

Hi Kristen!

You guys are in for a REAL treat! I remember my first Disney cruise.. LOL
Yes, we are from NY. Saratoga Springs area, just north of Albany.

 

[wcw57]

Saratoga Springs is VERY NICE!!!!!!!


It is our first Disney Cruise and for some of us, our first ever cruise. Stand by for sea-sickness wrist-band applications!

We are the largest group (so far) here....I'll break down by staterooms:

ME: Poppy to some but Bill to all others
DW: Wendy....it's like being married to Mary Poppins. She's practically perfect in every way
DD: Adult Melanie (37)...Mommy to DGD
DGD: Julianna to most but she's my little ZuZu (6 at time of cruise)


DS: Jason..33 when we cruise..boyfriend (so far) to DSGF
DSGF: Alison...36

DSGFDD: Amanda...17
DSDGFDS: Jason (also, just to be confusing)..14

we are all on deck 5 ...they are across from each other and we're at the other end of the ship


By the way, Suffolk County is a nice little spot on the map, too

 

[SNicksed]

Hi Bill! Good to see you. That is quite a group you have there. Should be a great trip for you all. I think I have you on the list right. Let me know if not.

Well look at us NEW YORKERS!!!

 

[wcw57]

which list is that? This is part of the learning curve for me but sometimes its more like a learning knuckleball

I started a "List of Cruisers" in my first post.

 

[wcw57]

OK...got it now. Looks good 2 me.

Where is everyone booked? We are all on deck 5.

We are booked in an 11C (12) GTY, so won't know until January 2011.

We are on deck 7 in a cat 9A. Didn't dare do a verandah with DS coming along. He's a bit "active" shall I say, and I don't want to have to worry about him hanging over the railing all week long

 

[wcw57]

does anybody else think its annoying that you have to sign in again when you get to the meets section? or am I just getting old and crabby?

We have a nephew named brendon...he is almost five right now and he is quite a handful..always was rough and tumble, all boy, bumps and bruises kind of kid....

Our group is in a large porthole window, DS in a navigator verandah, and the other room in inside......

has anyone here done the FE thing? I'm not too interested in getting adult stuff but I think it must be fun for the kids.....In that case, do you just make a pocket for each of the kids (in MY case, just 1) or make multiple pockets anyhow with everyone from the cabin's name anyhow?

Bill - maybe it's the name that makes them so "active"!

I would like to do the FE thing too. More so for my kids than DH and I. I would make a FE with pockets just for the people you want to receive goodies. I have seen pictures of other FE's and some of them had names on the pockets so you knew who you were giving items to. Some people get really creative and crafty with their gifts... I don't know what I'm going to do... I'm not very crafty lol

 

[wcw57]

I'm not so crafty and don't want to give playing cards or some dollar store stuff....BUT, we DO have a little time to decide

how many will be on this list, I wonder?

 

[vavalynn2]

We are from central NY and will also be joining the cruise. It will be myself
(31) and DH (31).

We have only cruised once before in Feb 2005 on Disney and are looking forward to returning.

The time will go by fast, right?

Welcome Vavalyn2 This cruise is turning out to be well represented by the state of NY!!

What category are you booked in?

 

[wcw57]

Welcome!

This is the New Yawk Cruise, fuh shuh.

as for the time flying, I think time will blur by until Jan (what with the holidays and all) and THEN it will be painful...the good news is the Feb 19, 2010 1-yeasr-to-go celebration!!!

 

[Kris10luvsDisney]

Just think in 3 days we will be less than 500 days until our cruise
