Here's the story. My in-laws have wanted to take my husband and me on a cruise forever. We stalled and stalled and stalled. Since moving to Atlanta four years ago, my mother-in-law has been persistant since we can now drive to a port instead of flying. I finally decided to shut her up by telling her the only way I'd go on a cruise is if it was a Disney one. I'm a Disney World veteran (over 36 trips) and love The Mouse.
Result? We're booked on the 12/10/05 Eastern Magic. Once I told my mother-in-law it was Disney or bust, we had everything taken care of in two short weeks. I was amazed. The best part is that my in-laws are paying for the whole thing.
I've never cruised, am a planner so I will be bombarding this board with questions in the next months. I've already done a ton of research so I feel a bit educated on things.
In-laws are in a cat 6 on deck 6, we are in a cat 8 on deck 7. Both rooms are towards the front of the ship per my mother-in-law's request (she's a veteran cruiserand I deferred to her wishes). I already know some of the things I want to do. A massage is essential and so is the Rainforest Room. The wine tasting a must.
I've got a zillion questions but need to research this board to see if the answers are out there already. It figures, I finally get to the point where a trip to Disney World is no big deal and now I have almost a year to obsess over a cruise. It's a miracle my husband puts up with me.

Also you need to go to the cruise meet page (on the top of the DCL forum page) and find the Dec 10 cruise meet thread. You will meet other DIZer's going on your cruise. Have a great time!
I would not wait, would be one the phone booking...
Honestly, by the time they get to the room at night, they are just about asleep.
