We are in- we had booked a cat 7a and then tonight I looked and the price for a cat 6 was only 80 bucks more.... so we have changed to cat 6 GTY.

My crew:
Erin - I will be the big 40 in 2011 - so the veranda is my birthday present.
DH - Rich - 41
DS - Nick - 12
(ages at time of cruise)

My sister and her family will be joining us as well
They are in Cat5c 6616
DSis - Stephanie 37
DBil - Tom 41
DNephew - Truitt 17

I am so excited about this trip with family and friends.

We canceled our 2010 Med cruise for this one - I prefer to sail with friends

Only 652 days until we sail

I look forward to getting to know everyone over the next 2 years!!

Hey, Veronica! Looks like we are sailing together after all!!

I look forward to getting to know everyone prior to the cruise. This will be my first cruise since I was like 6 or 7 years old.

OK, so how small is the world when you run into your neighbor in a cruise meet on the DisBoards? Bizarre!!

Hello to all! We have booked this cruise also. Looking forward to going to Alaska...a first for me and the girls...Dad has his sea legs and has been many times. We are:

Mike, Linda, Michelle & Laura (15/10 at cruise time). This will be our 4th Disney Cruise. We are booked in a Cat. 6 GTY. This should be a fantastic cruise.

Decided to treat myself & celebrate my birthday on board! I won't say which b'day

Looking forward to meeting others.

Linda

 

[Bullseyebaby]

We're booked too!

Janie (me) (47)
DH David (47)
DS Riley (18)
DD Sierra (14)

DH, DD, and I are official! Room 6019! I cannot wait!! DD will turn 6 on our Ketchikan day!

Got us a new room, now 6511. I had read on wdwinfo that 6019 was next to a crew room that did not show on the deck plans. 6511 sounds like it will be perfect!

Hi!

I'm Jen, and our group of 9 (so far) will be joining you all....including my sister and brother in law who live in Anchorage. We've been trying to convince them to cruise for years, who knew the Alaksan one would get them aboard!

We visted them this past July. It's a BEAUTIFUL state. I can't wait to see from the Wonder!

 

[dejnosluvmickey]

Ohhh this is so long to wait. I think it may just kill me. I was so excited last night that Wayne and I went to the book store and got a book on cruising Alaska. I have read every page to chapter 2...even the ones that I didn't need to read. LOL.

Us being a family of 8 I like to know everything well in advance. Well this is a bit of a long time to wait. Atleast I haven't started packing yet. I have to get through our May trip to WDW and then the Member cruise in September. (I'm hoping that isn't as big of a dissapointment as the 2009 one). If it is I think that will be the last member cruise for us.

I'm so excited to get to know everyone. By the time we all get to the ship we will all be like good friends. I'm trying to talk my sister-in-law into comming, but she will just be finishing up nursing school and I know how big of a pain it is to get a vacation when just starting a new job. =(

Let me tell you all a little about us =)

Wayne-the dad: works full time for Coca-Cola. Seems funny because he only drinks Mt. Dew. He just loves that they only offer coke products on Disney cruises. He is also the family taxi driver. (you will see why down below) I tease him that he needs to paint his truck yellow and add a meter so he can make a few bucks for gas money.

Stephania (me)-the mom: I work full time plus as a 3rd shift nurse. Don't be surprised if you see posts at 1 am. I'm doing them from work on my cell phone trying to stay awake.

Amber-oldest daughter is in the 9th grade now. On varsity cheerleading and has a ton of fun with her cell phone texting up a storm. Boy am I glad that we have unlimited texting. Playes the flute and absoloutly "loves" school. (I say that with sarcasm)

Mitchel-oldest son: Is in the 7th grade and on the football team. No clue how that works seeing how I have no physical talent at all.

Ashley-daughter #2: is in the 5th grade and thinks that she is just as old as her highschool aged sister.She is in chior and playes the flute also. Girl Scouts keeps her busy.

Maggie-daughter #3: Is in the 2nd grade and loves to play with the baby. Brownies keeps her learning fun new things.

Mason-son #2: is the comic of the family. He can always make everyone laugh by burping on command. (it must be a boy thing). This is his first year of school. K-is just the best thing on earth to him.

Abby- daughter #4: is the monkey of the family. Constantly laughing and being found in the oddest places. I don't know how a 2 year old can get on the fridge, but this one can.

As I sit here and type this I wonder if its too soon to ask if anyone will be doing the fish extenders??? I know for sure that we will. My kids love finding the surprises every night at the room. Wayne seems to think that its too soon, but being the organized one I like to know sooner than later. =)

I hope everyone has a wonderful night. Its now time for me to do the mom thing and get some homework done before dad comes home and has to start playing taxi.

Our son Mitchel is currently 13. If he keeps getting in trouble at school he might stay 13 for ever.

Susan
RJ - will be 11 by the time we sail, that sounds too grown up for me!

This will be our Fourth Cruise... we love it...

Would love to get involved in the Fish Extender, we loved coming back to our cabin and finding little gifts.. I don't know who loved it more me our RJ.

Happy Planning
Susan

Welcome to all our new additions! My brother's family will be joining us as well. They have two boys who will be 6 and 11 at the time.

I used our new slogan and reworked our logo. If you have more suggestions please let me know!

Love it!! How can you share the pic with us?? For my own sanity, I have thought about putting together a word document with all the links out there for ideas and information. I will be happy to share that with others.

We also didn't think we would like crusing, but boy were we wrong. We love it!

The Alaska cruise will be our 4th, crossing my fingers that it is our 5th. I'm trying to convince my husband that we need to do the April 10 day Mexician Riviera as an adult only trip. Hopefully that works out.

As to the fish extenders...my over organized self has already started a list of who is thinking of doing them =)

Today has been hectic for me. Got done with work at 7am and had to be back to work at 11 am for a meeting. Not a lot of fun. I have been up now for close to 18 hours and the baby finally fell asleep so I think I will steal a little nap before getting the kids from school and then off to games and practices.

I hope everyone has a good Friday night =)
