[Alexis Green]

Am I the only DISer going on this cruise?
I doubt it!!!

 

[IrishCowboy]

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list

 

[Alexis Green]

I'm starting to feel like Dbf and I will have the whole ship to ourselves!

 

[wld4mky]

Hi our family has just booked this cruise. It will be our 2nd. We did the Western in Feb. 2010. Now we are hooked. I participated in the FE and it was lots of fun. Hope there will be a group on this cruise as well!

 

[Alexis Green]

Yay! I thought for a while there was going to be no one else! I can't wait for February!!

 

[wld4mky]

Neither can we! I hate to wish my life away, but it is sooo exciting. I hope as time goes by there will be more of us on here.

 

[dizzi]

Hey we are thinking about this cruise.......

But since you have cruised in Feb before can you tell me how the weather is and did you go to Castaway Cay??

Just got off the WOnder 5 night and loved it but my Dh and DS did not go with that time and now they are to jealous so we have to go again......

 

[dizzi]

I have searched and searched and figured and refigured and decided and undecided and weighed the pros and cons and am close to the 100% mark of booking this cruise.

Unless a good FL resident rate comes along i suppose we will get an ocean view BUT would love a balconey.

The only thing holding me back is making sure DS can go in the teen stack as this is really why we would be returning to DCL this soon after my cruise on WONDER...so that DS can have one more time to be in the stack. And his 18th bday is the day we woulod be leaving for the cruise, so if not we will have to take the one the week before..........

 

[Alexis Green]

Hey Dizzi!

This is my first time on a Disney Cruise. From what I've been reading about Feb is that it's 70s and 80s. The weather at Castaway Cay is beautiful and the water feels warm. I will just be so happy to get away from the snow!

Dbf and I had planned on getting a porthole room but I've been cruise spoiled and have always had a balcony. Sooo....we have a balcony lol!

What I've heard about the teen area is that he can either choose to go to the teen stack and do all the teen stuff OR choose to do the adult things. Once he choses he MUST stick with it. So if he chooses teen stack, no adult clubs or adult pool. It's totally up to him.

 

[Fozzycat]

FYI - there is a Canadian Residency Rate for this cruise...25% off most categories. Saved ourselves $1500 on two cabins today.

Hope someone else can benefit from this!

 

[peachygreen]

I just switched my 3 night dream to the 7 night magic leaving on the 26th thanks to the KSF promo.

The 26th is my 35th birthday so I'm super excited to be celebrating it on the Magic. It will be me, DH, and our 2 girls. Our oldest will be 1 month shy of 5 (we will try to celebrate her birthday on the cruise). Our youngest will be 10 months old when we sail.

I'm so excited to be joining you all on this cruise.

 

[jbuckent]

Hello everyone! I was booked to go on the Western the week after this cruise, but with the kids sail free offer we found a great rate on this cruise to upgrade from our inside cabin to a verandah for almost the same price! So here we are!

I'm Jennifer and will be traveling with my DH Ryan, and our DDs Allyn (7) and Evelyn (3). This will be our 6th cruise, 4th with Disney.

I'm very excited for this cruise! I was a bit bummed when looking at shore excursions on the Western, we booked it as we have never done that one. Now I'm excited again because I know how wonderful the beaches are on the Eastern! Also we have never sailed with a verandah! Looking forward to that with my young kids! We can put them to bed and sit out on the verandah to enjoy a bottle of wine and the stars!

I'm surprised how few people have joined this thread! Hopefully many more will! If not we will just a nice cozy group where everyone knows your name!. LOL

 

[StIago]

Hi Everyone!

I just joined DISboards the second after I booked this cruise - our family's first - and I can't wait! (I should probably tell the wife and kids about it.)

 

[Long Island Mickey]

I am booked on the March 26 cruise but with the KSF promo going on I could have a verandah and save $300 as well. I think I am going to do it. I just hope that it won't be to cold in Feb to use the balcony!

We usually sail this week. The verandah won't be too cold but the water is usually too cold at CC. The other islands are good for swimming though!

 

[Alexis Green]

Oh my goodness! I leave for a week and we gain more cruisers! YAY! We are getting closer to the cruise and I can not wait! I'd like to start a list for those who want to do Fish Extenders. Just post and let me know if you'd like to be added (I'll put it in the first post).

If you can give me:
- your DIS Board name
- Cabin Number (if yours hasn't been assigned yet, let me know and drop me a line when you get the cabin number)
- Size of your Party
- Gender/ages of party members so age/gender appropriate gifts can be made/purchased

 

[Canadian Eh?]

Bonjour Everyone,

We were just sent our reservation confirmation for the 26th of February sailing. We had originally booked a 7 day on the Celebrity Eclipse out of Miami on the same day but that reservation was canceled the second Disney announced the promo for Canadian residence (go Canada go). This will be our (wife and 10yr old`s) second tour on the Magic, the first being in December 2006.

Can`t wait, it`s gonna be a blast!

BTW, has anyone had the chance to see a space shuttle launch from the Cape? We missed it last time due to the launch being delayed by a few days. I hope we get lucky this time, it would be a real treat!

 

[Alexis Green]

Hey Canadian! So glad you will be joining us for the cruise! You'll have to show us all the goodies you get in Canada that we can't get in the US

We've got a good list of people going so far!!!!

I haven't seen the space launch but I've heard aaaaall about it!!!

 

[Lexi221]

Hi All... We (myself, and two DSs) will be joining the fun. This will be our 2nd voyage on DCL. I switched from a 4-night on the Dream in April to this sailing when the KSF offer was published! We are so excited!!!!
