Wow, thanks for putting this together! I am looking forward to meeting everybody! Tell me more about these "Dis" events...

DH and I just received our Disney Cruise DVD in the mail... loved it! It is going to be hard to wait more than a year to sail after seeing this! I'm wondering how much it will differ from our 4-night Wonder experience... I've read about the dining rotation and all, just wondering if it "feels" different on a 7-night cruise!

Also, has anyone already sailed the West Coast itinerary? What's it like?

... to say "hi!" and to keep us from lingering on page 3

Anyhow, hope everyone's doing well -- I know it's hard to keep up the excitement for a cruise that is 16 or so months away, but we have to make some sort of attempt, right?

 

[ansky922]

I want to feel the excitment as soon as I get back from SSR


I have my DS (1st Communion) soon

so once all that is taken care of I am sure that it will kick in

I want to stay in CALI a few extra days so I need to figure out when I should book the hotel

This will be my first trip there so I am alittle nervous

Sorry for babaling

Right now my countdown clock is set for our June Alaska cruise, but after that, I'll be concentrating on counting down for this one! We got our Disney Cruise DVD in the mail last week, and that really raised our excitement levels, too. If you don't already have a copy, you should order one from the Disney website.

What ship are you sailing to Alaska? We're on the Celebrity Infinity r/t out of Vancouver on 7/8. My girls so do not want to go -- "if it's not Disney then it can't be good" is their motto! I am way excited about the trip though, and can't wait!

Hi Everyone!

It's hard to take this wait!!! While I'm watching my families schedule be way too busy and the rest of the school year zipping by way to fast, it's amazing how very slow it's taking to get to this cruise! And I'm super jealous of those going on Alaskan cruises - please plan on reporting back after your cruises - pretty please? I'd love to hear what you thought and especially for the kids. We're still trying to figure out if/what we'll be doing this summer, but we are taking the kids to Maui over spring break, so that should be enough, right?

Well all, have a GREAT day! (And Gina, thanks for rescuing our thread from page 3!!)

We are doing the Dawn Princess R/T from San Francisco, 10-nights. Since we live about 1.5 hours from SF, this works out great for us! There will be 9 of us cruising, and only my husband and I have cruised before (Disney), so I figure that even though it won't have the magic of Disney, it will still be great to vacation with both of our immediate families!

Hi, I just posted something not realizing a thread had been started... We just got back from the Eastern Carribean in Feb and rebooked for this one! We are very excited. Our children will be DD16, almost DS13, DS7 and DD almost 5. Our boys have severe food allergies and Disney completely took care of the boys and made it a wonderful vacation for our family. I look forward to keeping up with you. We did a cruise meet the first day on the ship and it was great to already have friends. About 2 months prior we started a kid thread so the kids could meet.

Welcome Aboard

My DS will be 8 on the cruise. This will be his 2nd Disney cruise and he is so excited. Did your kids use the clubs?

Yes, my kids LOVED the clubs! They would ask to go instead of hanging with us!! This is also our second Disney Cruise- Well actually 2nd anytime cruise! We are so excited too. Where is everyone coming from? We live in San Diego.

 

[TrojanJulez]

We live in Northern California. This will be our 2nd Disney cruise and our 3rd cruise overall, although we haven't taken our 2nd cruise yet - that's coming this June!

 

[ansky922]

We live in New York



My son was the same way with the club he was there hours on end

Have you guys checked out the shopping on Disney.com and outlets? They have some tropical family outfits and cute PJ's. My kids loved wearing those PJ's to the kids club in Feb cruise.
I can also PM or email anyone with the list of "must haves" for the cruise!

Oooh, thanks for the tip! And I'd love a list of must-haves... is it short enough for you to post in this forum?

 

[Dsnylndlvrs]

Hi 6PowayDisneyFans! Welcome "aboard!" And hi to everyone else. I'd been out of town for a week, so I'm just now catching up with some things.

This will be our second DCL cruise and third cruise overall. (The "other" cruise happens this summer.) We're from the SF Bay Area.

Happy spring!

I pack lots so the list is quite long, but must say we used everything! Send me a PM with your email address and I can send it to you.
