January 17, 2013 DREAM Cruise becomes a Reality

[watwsj]

I would also be interested in participating in the FE group. Not sure what I was thinking in my first post, but my DDs will be 4 and 2 (almost 3) at cruise time! Thanks for coordinating!

Hello everyone,
This is our first cruise too and would like to do it right. So would love to join the group and participate in fish extenders.

This is also my first post to the forum, bound to get something wrong.

There are three of us, DW, DH, DS(5).

We are from Tasmania, Australia. Before the trip we will be spening time at AoA.

We are so unbelievably excited about this trip been planning for over a year.

Welcome Nhebert

Im from Melbourne Australia but have lived in Canada for the last 10 years. And we will be on the same cruise. Looking forward to hearing another Aussie on board .

Just checked our reservation details and see they assigned us a cabin. We were booked GTY cat 7a. Now we're confirmed in cabin 8520. Looks like a good location, though it's very forward not midship (which, they say, is better if you're prone to seasickness). I'm already stocking up on the Bonine for myself and the kids. DH doesn't have a problem. Anyway, stateroom reviews for that cabin say it is super quiet and convenient to elevators. We're even more excited now to have an actual number. Makes it seem more real! Can't wait!!!

Great! Thanks for the reminder to put Cabin # on for those who wish to do so. I guess I need to go look up my cabin now. I remember doing so in the very beginning...all I wanted was not to be directly above the movies, nightclubs or theaters.

I'll update your info.

Welcome! It looks like you did everything correctly! There is a January thread in the hotels section if you'd like to join that too. Chance to meet/talk with other Dissers who are going to the parks in January.

wow -- how cool! Two Australian families on the same Disney cruise (singing "It's a Small World After All" in my head...)

To get more posts, just post 5 times here...

break up your sentence...
into just a couple...
of words.
We don't ...
mind at all.



Or you can go to the Community threads where they list people's birthdays and wish 5 strangers Happy Birthday.

In case you didn't see my earlier post.

Thanks!

I don't Facebook. Tried it. It wasn't my thing. I'd still like to do fish extenders, though, so maybe you can keep us updated some other way. Thanks!

that's fine. I'm sending you a PM.

Thanks, Marsha, got your pm but I, too, don't have enough posts to pm back. I'll get that done in the next day or so and pm you the info. Thanks again, Joni

You might also want to post a link to our Facebook group on this FE page on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/167311023398247/

Since our FB page is a "closed" group, I'm not sure there would be an advantage. No one in that FB group would be able to see anything.

Thanks! We are just trying to be a bit cautious about putting our Actual Names and Dream Cruise dates together on-line on FB open group.

So I don't know how I could mention our cruise date without showing my full name either.

I have thought about joining this cruise for a while. My son is 12 and would love a cruise where there are so many kids his age. My hesitation is that I am bringing him solo. I don't want to be ditched the entire time.

I have never cruised before, so maybe I am just naive about cruises. I am heading out there in Nov with my 8yo. Hopefully, I will have a better idea of how it all works after to make a better decision.

Only 126 days. Woohoo

Let us know if you decide to join.

That is a good question about activities for a solo cruiser (when you son is constantly in the kids section).
