Anyone else going?

 

[DVC4US]

If you mean June 16, 2007 then we are going. We are in the Roy suite and we cannot wait. Right now it is me(LeiLani-42), DH(Rich-43), DD(Brittany-16), and DD(Alyssa-10). We also hope to have my DD's boyfriends family join us. They can't amke reservations until the 4th though.

Exciting! We're also hoping to get one of the suites. Now we're DH (Ray), DW (Susan), DD (me: Elizabeth: almost 16), and DD (Laura: almost 10).

Can't wait!

 

[DVC4US]

Well, it's great to meet you Elizabeth and welcome to the DIS boards. It sounds like you are my oldest DD's age and your sister is the same age as my youngest DD. Maybe you guys can hook up before the cruise some time.

We are doing the 7 day Western this August and I can't wait but now all I want to plan is the Med cruise.

Hopefully we will keep this thread going and have more people join us after the 4th.

 

[gou08]

How were you able to make reservations before the 4th?

 

[DVC4US]

Hi Elizabeth! Sorry I didn't answer sooner, but I went to Chicago for the weekend with some girlfriends.

We wanted a suite for the summer of 2007 so we put in a request for one 2 years ago. We just got lucky and it turned out to be a Med cruise. DCL started filling the faxed in requests last week so they would know what they have available on the 4th. These were the only people able to book last week, everyone else (TA's included) will have to wait until the 4th. I take it you guys have not booked yet?

Did you have a good weekend?

 

[gou08]

Yeah, we're booking on the 4th

 

[DVC4US]

Well, good luck booking on Tuesday.

HI! We are so hopeful to be cruising the Med. as well! What a great opportunity for the kids! DH-Abby is 13, DS-Iain is 11 and DS-son is 9 right now! We are hoping to sail with at least one other set of family friends! We are looking at the 11 night July 28th.

Is anybody else nervous about not having space enough to book??? We didn't find out about the waitlist till after it had closed, and wish we would have pushed a little harder earlier. Sigh.

Congrats to getting the Roy O. Disney Suite! That is our someday hope...till then we are just enjoying each and every sailing!

Wishing you all pixie dust!

[DVC4US]

Thanks Tomspixie and good luck on getting your cruise!

Hi LeiLani!

What a beautiful name! There is a waiter at the Yachtsman Steakhouse who has a granddaughter with that name and I have always thought it so pretty!

Where are you DVC members? We have been members since '93, at OKW,then later at BWV, and HH.

We are hoping to book the med with points!

Enjoy the Roy suite! It should be wonderful!

Pixie Dust wishes!

Hi Tiffany!

We have been members since 1998 and our home resort is BWV. We were just there in March for spring break and we will be at the Wilderness Lodge this summer before we go on the 7 day western cruise. We love DVC and taking our trips to WDW.

Count us IN!

Group of 5--myself, DH, DS 19, DS 14, DMIL 83 (she would shoot me if she knew I put that in)

This will be our 3rd cruise and are looking forward to it!

 

[jmcdonnell04]

Party of Five looking forward to our 5th cruise -- myself, DW, DD (11), DD (7) and DMIL (75).

Glad to get thru at 9 am this morning after a one hour hold on the phone and the online system crashing before you could book.

 

[DVC4US]

Welcome Aboard Everyone!!!!

It great to have other's join us on what is going to be a "Magic"al cruise. Now we have to start planning.

 

[windermerejudy]

Hi guys---so sorry that I started another thread today but I was not able to find this one. Thank you for locating us and hooking us up. I was actually considering switching this morning to Monstro's cruise a couple of weeks later because I did not see any DIS ers on this date. Isn't it sad when you are choosing sailing dates by how fun your DIS group will be?????
Now I am excited that we have so many thus far.

I am Judy (45), my DH Dale (46), DS 10, DS7, DD4, DMom(80).
We live here in Orlando so when you are in town let us know and we will try to have some mini meets prior to 2007.

Congratulations to all of us for getting what we were looking for and embarking on new territory for DCL.

 

[windermerejudy]

Hey that was a T.O.P. and I did not realize we were on page 2 already.

Leilani--which summer cruise are you doing? We leave Sat. for a western, ( first cruise back to Cozumel evidently) The guinea pig cruise. We were contemplating waiting for the rebook for med cruise on board but Barb priced us at tier one so we could not turn it down.

 

[windermerejudy]

OK guys we have aspirations to fulfill here.........the blabbermouth cruise in May is up to around 60,000 posts. Do you think we can do it????????

 

[DVC4US]

Hi Judy!

Glad you found us. I hope you stay with our cruise because I know we will have fun. There are more of us out there I know because I just saw a posting on the DCL Forum boards with other DISers saying they had booked the June 16th crusie so I tried to steer them our way.

When we went on the 2004 10 day Christmas cruise we talked on the boards for a year and a half and had a lot of fun. So this will be great getting to know everyone before we cruise.

Our family is going on the Aug 12th cruise this year and we plan on being in WDW the week before the cruise and it would be great if we had a mini-meet. As it gets closer and I have plans made we can figure out a time and place.

Well you join the thread and you get the first T.O.P.!

We are on the August 12 cruise so you will have to let me know what Cozemul is like. We have been there twice before so think there are going to be some big changes.
