I had posted a thread sometime ago but since these boards have changed I can't seem to find it?!
Anyone else on this sailing???

 

[ldb1030]

bump!

 

[ldb1030]

Oh come one now! You all need to come out from hiding!!!

 

[ldb1030]

Okay, now I'm starting to think we are the ONLY ones on board!
Hmmmmmmm, more food for us to eat I guess!!!!!!

We are having another ice stom today so I'm cruise dreaming as I look out my window and count down the days!

I'm here......I'm here....I'm here. Sorry, between deaths in the family and illnesses, 2005 hasn't started off very nicely.

Yes--we are on the 7/1/06 cruise. 2 families--us and my husband's sister.

6 kids---14 (b), 12 (b), 12 (g), 8 (g), 5 (b), 5(g).

This will be our 3rd Disney cruise (6 in all) and my sil family's first. It is going to be a longggggggg year and a half.

Anyway, I'll check in some more later.

Deb,
FINALLY!!!!
We will have 4 families!
2 kids! My daughter will be 15 at the time and my nephew will be 5!
This will be the 4th DCL for all of us!
I'm working hard to save $ since it's the most expensive one yet!
My daughter will be glad to know at least one person close to her age will be there!

Where are you all from? And I hope 2005 gets much better for you!

 

[ldb1030]

bump!

 

[Skuba2]

Ok Lisa---looks like you and me are the only ones on this cruise. We are going to have the whole boat to ourselves!!!

I am anxious to see what they do on the fireworks cruise this year to see what we can expect.

Ok---I just saw your count down clock-----2 years has dwindled down to 14 months. I can't believe it!

DG

 

[ldb1030]

Yep, that means we'll have to eat ALL that food by ourselves!!

I too can't wait to see what happens with the fireworks this year!
I can't believe how fast time is going! Less time to save for it!

 

[Husker4040]

Hi Deb! We're there too, all 21 of us!

Hi Patti---glad to see you found it. Hey--there is a really good trip report for the western itinerary. It is a 6 or 7 parter. It will get you even more excited.

The year is going fast, fast, fast. I am looking forward to getting the rest of the ressies made for airplane and hotel. Can't do it until they open up sometime in July.

Deb

 

[Husker4040]

Deb- We are watching the airfare, and if it goes below what we booked through Disney, we will change it. If not, then we are good to go. I read the trip reports, and I can't wait to go! I'm pushing all here to achieve their trip goals.



Patti

 

[ldb1030]

Welcome Husker4040
Is this your first Disney Cruise? Are you traveling with any teenage girls?
My daughter will be 15 when we go!
I take it from your name that you are a Nebraska cornhusker?
We are all Kansas State Wildcats!!

 

[Skuba2]

Ok---not to be left out---we live in CT but I grew up in Missouri. I sure miss the elbow room.

Deb G

 

[ldb1030]

That's great we're all from the good ole' mid-west!

 

[Husker4040]

Hi Lisa! You are right, definately Husker fans. I went back to work after 10 years to pay for my season tickets.

I will be traveling with 2 teenage girls, for better or worse. They will be 13 and 14 when we sail, and yes, this is our first cruise. Deb talked me into going. We are so excited! There will be a total of 21 people with us. We started talking to the family about the trip (after we had booked) and they all decided they wanted to go. My girls are the oldest, but there are 5 other cousins ranging in ages from 1-10.


Patti

 

[ldb1030]

Okay Patti, let's make a point of NOT talking about football so we can all get along!!!

So excited you have 2 teenage girls! Would they want to maybe email my daughter sometime to get to know each other? This will be her 4th Disney Cruise so she'd be more than happy to tell your girls all about it! And it would be great if they could meet up on the ship!

My nephew will also be on board and he will be 5 at the that time!

All 21 of you will have a great time!! Can't wait to see what they do for 4th of July!!!

 

[Husker4040]

LOL! No football. I'm sure my girls would love to email with your daughter. I mentioned it to them on the way to school this morning, and they thought that would be fun. We will have at least 1 5 year old with us.


Patti

 

[ldb1030]

Great! Have them email her at my email address then she can email them from her's. It's LDB1030@sbcglobal.net
she would love to hear from them!

Do you all have 1st or 2nd seating? We have 1st and we've always had that and it's never been a problem for us. We hated the idea of finishing dinner at 10pm!

 

[Husker4040]

We have early dinner. I also can't see myself eating at the time I'm usually in bed.

I will set your email address up in the girls address book. They each have their own email account (under our main account) and since it is a kids account, I severely limit what they can do. No attachments, etc. If your daughter wants to send pictures, I will have her send them to my account.

I think they will be thrilled to meet someone they will be cruising with, especially someone who knows the ropes. It will make them feel more comfortable to know someone when they get there. Being young teens is a socially tough time. I have one that is very outgoing, and the other is very shy.
