July 13, 2008 - Cruisin' the Mexican Riviera

[wackywexler]

Hi Everyone,

I hadn't logged in for a while. We are still very excited about this cruise. Our daughter will have just turned 13 and our son will be 11. I was thinking it would be fun to stay at the Queen Mary in Long Beach the night before the cruise. We only live an hour away from port, but I have always wanted to do that. I guess it is time to start thinking about what to do in the various ports too. I hope everyone with kids has had a smooth back to school experience and can you believe it the holiday season is just around the corner! It will be 2008 before we know it!! Have a great day!

haha, I don't have to pay for this cruise, my dad is taking me, but I'm taking him on a cruise in feb 2009, so I'l saving up for that one, boy am I crazy. Only 8 months, that's good to hear time will fly by for me, with all this work I have to do

Carole88, guess what, I got my DH to agree to this cruise. When we rebooked the last time I had them move the reservation to this date since this is when you said you were going. Then I just had to talk him into actually going. We are going to spend 2 weeks in CA. The first week we are going to visit Sea World, San Diego Zoo, and of course Disneyland (what would a Disney cruise be without a stop at a Disney park ) I haven't really told the girls yet because I was waiting until he agreed to go for the 2 weeks. I am already excited and I still have 6 months to go . For other cruisers I have a DD-13 and a DD-10. The DD-13 will be 14 at the time of the cruise. We met Carole88 along with many other families on our last cruise through these boards and we all had a great time. Our DD's hung out together the entire week and it really gave us parents some time to "hang out" . So I am hoping we can find some more fun families to "hang out" with again .

Hey Susan,

I just read your email. This is great news. We had such a great time together. Do your girls know yet? I know that my girls want to email them. Let me know when the coast is clear!

 

[SuJo]

We just told them last night so the coast is clear. I am already excited and it is still 7 months away but I still have a lot of planning to do with the week before in CA. Also I haven't even looked at the placing we are stopping on the cruise. I hope the time goes fast and I can't wait to see you all again.

Hello,

We are also going to be there! We looking forward to meeting fellow DIS board fanatics. DsD 13 will be there with me 40 and FW 39. As this is our 2nd Disney cruise we thought it would be fun to meet new friends.

Throwing the email hat into the ring as well so that the DD can "meet" new people. jdrichta@hotmail.com.

Look foward to seeing you all.

My family and I will be taking our first DCL during this week (July 13). It will be myself (32), DH (36), DD (5), and DS (3). We will be traveling with 2 other families also, both with children of similar ages to mine. It is exciting to see so many other people so excited about their vacations. Planning has consumed a good deal of my spare time and I wouldn't have it any other way. I look forward to meeting you.
