People going on the Jan 17 cruise have reported getting their documents, so ours shouldn't be too much longer.

Hi GEB@okw!!
Where are you at in MI? We will be on the same cruise on the 27th. My family is in South Eastern MI, Macomb Twp. Who's all going with you? For us it's the 4 of us, hubby, son (4), daughter (18mths) and myself. What airline are you flying out on, we are on Spirit. Hope to talk to you!
Jennifer also in FREEZING MI!!

I can't wait to get out of freezing Ontario, right next to freezing Michigan

Jennifer are you flying out of Detroit??

We are flying out of Detroit on Friday Jan 25 with Northwest.

What about you GEB do you fly out of Detroit or somewhere else?

Hi Cruisin!
We are flying out of Detroit on the 27th, wish we where flying out earlier!! I wonder if I can change our tickets??? Wonder what the penalty would be, ugh! Anyway, I am so looking forward to this cruise! Now I just have to get everyone packed including myself ! A Mom's Work Is Never Done
Where are you staying pre-cruise?
Jennifer

 

[Cruisin]

You might be able to change your tickets but the penalty is usually quite high.

We are staying for two nights at the Comfort Suites, Lake Buena Vista.

It is pretty much right outside the gates of Disney Property.

We do not plan on going to Disney this time, except maybe to eat but that's not been decided for sure.

We are going to Universal Studios for a change.

We got the tickets that are good for 7 consecutive days for both parks. I think we paid about $92.00 for each ticket.

We are going to go as soon as we get off the plane on Friday and then again on Saturday. Also thinking of going on the Thursday that we get off the ship

We will be flying back to Detroit on the Thursday evening.

Are you flying straight down for the cruise and then back again on the day you get off the ship??

We are getting very excited here too

Hello-

My son and I will be joining everyone on this sailing. It is our first cruise and we are really excited. I am a single mom to a great 6 yr old little boy and this is our first trip alone together. I have a feeling I am never going to see my son on this trip. He has all of his time planned out already!

Do we know if there are any other singles on this cruise? Is there anything for me to do? Or will I be getting that alone time all of us mother crave and never get?

We are getting so excited about our upcoming trip, it's almost unbearable! I've been stashing away Disney stuff (stickers, pens, notepads, t-shirts, etc.)to give as a surprise to our daughters 11 & 7 when we leave on the 23rd. Well, they turned the tables on us with a surprise. They presented DH & I with a Disney Countdown Declaration. For each remaining day, they will present us a certificate decorated with disney stickers etc.announcing the number of days left and every couple of days, we get a "surprise" as well, like candy, stickers, etc. It's so nice to have them catch that Disney fever!!

Cruisin,
Yeah, I found out changing our tickets would cost more than what we paid for the tickets, so that's a no go. But I'm sure we'll be booking our next cruise on board, so I'll make sure that we come early next trip

Hi Victoria!
I see your sons name is Bradley, as is mine. My son will be celebrating his 5th birthday while on this trip! Maybe we'll run into you and your son while on board. I am sure there will be other single travelers and most likely you'll be seated with some for dinner, as I know they try to match up like travelers!
Have fun!

Hey Everyone-
I just booked a spot on this cruise for my dh, 4 month old daughter and myself. We can't wait to go on vacation even though we are anticipating a more difficult time than we are used to since we're bringing our new daughter along. If anyone has any tips for traveling with an infant they would be greatly appreacited.
Thanks,
Katie T

Always always always have bottle (or other ) and pacifier for her on the plane, really helps with the ears. We found this a life saver for us. Other than that, something brightly colored for her to look at and blankie See you on board!

Has anyone been on a cruise to this area in January before? What is the weather going to be like? Does it get really chilly in the evening?
Thanks,

This is really weird.

When I look at the main page this poster shows as the last post.

When I click on the thread to read, the post is not there

When I click on post a reply THEN the post shows up.

What the heck is happening with that??

anyway, Hi there Katie.

This is our 9th Disney Cruise. All except for one have been in January.

You can never really know what the weather is going to be like.

We've had nice warm to hot weather and we've had chilly weather too.

Expect it to be chilly in the evenings, especially if you go out on deck after dark.

The wind made by the ship moving along with the cooler temperatures will make the outside decks feel quite cool. You will need a jacket or sweater if you plan on lingering on deck.

At least most of our January cruises have been that way.

During the day, the temperatures are mostly comfortable, shorts and tshirt type weather.

Of course, you never really know in advance. I always just think that it is a lot warmer there than it is at home.

Happy Anniversary!!
Hope to meet you on the cruise!

Happy Anniversary!!
Hope to meet you on the cruise!

OK, look for the blond headed six foot three guy with the short beard, and grandma, yes she is the red head in tears missing our grand daughter! Visiting Atlantis, Palo on Monday and Palo brunch on Wednesday.

 

[momtobradley]

TO FUNNY Ok I will look for you!!
We are doing the Palo Brunch on our day at sea. Didn't want to miss any of the dinners (even though I know one is a repeat ), plus wanted to have dinner with the kids Plus even though I know everyone says Flounders Reef Nursery is safe, I still am nervous about leaving my daughter there since I don't know the care givers, so on the day at sea, if you see a women at the Palo Brunch with blonde hair looking REALLY nervous , that would be me!!
