We just booked this one! This will be our 2nd Disney cruise. We went on the Fantasy back in 2012 on the Eastern route. We decided to check out the Western.

It will be myself, my husband and our son, who will be 15...just about 16 yrs old at the time.

Can't wait to meet and chat with every one

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list
Have a great cruise!

Hi Everyone! This will be our second Disney cruise too. We did the Eastern Caribbean in 2013 on the Fantasy and had a blast. Looking forward to going to the Western Caribbean. Going with DH and DS who will be 13.

 

[NMDisneyMom]

jacksonsmom and Disneygirl64.

Glad to see more joining this cruise thread.

This will actually be the 5th cruise for my DD and I. We have done the Eastern twice, the Bahamas once, and the Mexican Riviera once (all with Disney). So I decided it was time to try the Western. I love the Eastern for all the time we have to spend on the ship.

Let the countdown begin.

We just booked this cruise on the Dream a couple of weeks ago. We also did the 7 night eastern on the Fantasy last summer and are excited to experience the western itinerary.

At this point it looks like it's just my DH, Marc and I. We are cruising on the Wonder in February so by the time we all meet up, it will be our 8th cruise with Mickey!

I'd like to start talking Fish Extenders, meet and greet, and other fun group activities.

Oh and by the way, I'm excited!!!!

 

[NMDisneyMom]

wigdoutdismom!

I will add you to the roll call in the first post. Hopefully we can keep the conversation going over here on the DIS boards, with FE's, meet-ups, etc.

Sorry I have been MIA. We just got back from 13 days at WDW - our first trip. Boy, WDW is not relaxing; its hard work! But we are home and somewhat rested. I'm ready to get excited for our cruises next summer.

Hi all, we booked this cruise while sailing on the Fantasy back in May of this year and are excited to be joining the cruise in July next year! We are from The northern suburbs of Chicago and I will be cruising with my wife and 11 year old daughter. We will also be meeting up with friends of ours from California on this cruise.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Glad to have you and your family join us! Sounds like we are going to have several girls on board around the same age.

I'll add you to the roll call!

Hi all,

Sorry I have been absent, just got back from WDW. We were down there for 16 days! Wonderful vacation.

Now ready to countdown to our cruise

 

[TBRox]

Just booked our cruise - it will be a HS Graduation Celebration for my DS and us (me, DH & DD). Sadly we had to cancel the one we had scheduled for this year - so fingers crossed that we’ll see you all next July!

Glad you are joining us next year. Sorry you had to cancel this year's cruise. I've added you to the roll call on the first page.

 

[NMDisneyMom]

Sorry I've been MIA for the last couple of weeks. I lost my mom at the beginning of July and it's been hard getting things straightened out for my dad. But things are looking better, so I'm getting anxious once again to plan our vacations for next year.

By my calendar we are less than 353 days from our cruise! Finally less than a year! In my books that's when the planning really starts. And it looks like I might have been able to convince my dad to join DD and I on this cruise. He has only been on one cruise before (to Alaska, not DCL), but was in the Navy for several years and loves being on ship. So he too is getting excited.

Looking forward to hearing what everyone is planning for their cruise!

 

[Magical Dreams]

NMDisneyMom, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. That's good that your dad is going to join you, though!

We're excited to be going on this cruise! It's just me, DH, and DD (6 at time of sailing). It will be our third DCL. Looking forward to getting to know all of you We would love to join the FE too

 

[Sbeckley]

We just finished our first cruise last week and booked onboard for next year.... We are looking forward to a little longer cruise this time. We called the Disney Dream our home for only four days and loved it so much we booked another! Looks like it will be me, DH (Matt), DD Bri (9), and DS Blake (14)..... Can't wait. I sent a request to join the facebook group. Can't wait to get to know everyone before we go!

 

[budamacdvcr]

Hello there. Just finished booking, or rebooking last night. Originally booked the Magic for March spring break only to find out that DDs school changed dates or we messed up So here we are on the Fantasy again as we sailed her summer of 2013 which wrapped up the DCL grand slam. This will be our 9th DCL and it will be me, DW, DD (20 when we sail) & DS (18 when we sail).

 

[tinkfan08]

This will be our fourth cruise, but our first time on the Fantasy. We can't wait! We've done eastern, Bahamas twice and are thrilled to try western this time. It will be DH, DD (age 6 the voyage) and me. Looking forward to getting to know everyone prior to sailing. We're also heading to WDW post voyage.

Hi all,

We just booked our second DCL trip. We did Alaska in May of this year and had so much fun instead of doing WDW as intended for 2015 we are going on another cruise and hitting up Universal before we depart.

Excited to get more out of our experience this year, by connecting with you all

Oh and it will be myself, my partner Kenny and our two 8 year old boys Trenton and Jacob. (no not twins, one is mine, one is his).
