Just thought I would let you all know that we won't be on this cruise - we moved to a 2010 cruise
have a great cruise
My oldest 2 kids would love to find some kids their own age to chat with before the cruise. Historically, they have has soooo much more fun when they have instant friends once they board.
This will be their 6th or 7th DCL. My daughter Alex will be 16 and just finishing her sophomore year of high school. She gets along with just about anyone! My son will be 14 years old and finishing up his 8th grade year and heading to high school next fall. He can be a little quiet at times...it usually takes him until the last 3 days of the trip to warm up and then he can't separate from all of his new friends!
PM me if anyone has kids in a similar age range that we can get them getting to know eachother.
It will be here before you know it

, but I am sure that you will enjoy the cruise that you do go on. There are still not many people on this thread I am hopeing that will change after the first of the year. We took the girls to lunch last weekend and they talked alot about the cruise. They are really looking forward to making new friends. I think that Bethanie would fit in with any kids from 12 to 16, Caitlin at 9 is a little shy at times and is a little worried that she will not know anyone when we get on the ship. 
and a Happy New Year
. Talk to you later. Magie
It has been quite awhile since I posted on these boards
Marla I am sorry that you will not be able to join us on this cruise
I don,t know if any of you know about fish extenders and the gift exchanges that go with them. We did this on the Wounder last Septemper and really had a lot of fun. We had a group of about 17 cabins involved and the gifts were as varried as the people in the group. We spent the 6 months before the cruise getting to know each oneanother on the dis boards and then a group of us met up the evening before the cruise and had dinner together. It made the cruise so much more fun. We also decorated our cabin door with magnets. I hope that some of you will be interested in joining in these activities.
That's all for now. I hope everyone has a great Christmas
Hi All,
Just got confermation from Dreams that our reservation has been switched to this cruise! With the fuel charge being dropped and Disney putting out a military discount, this being a summer cruise we jumped on it. Ok I did and slowly convienced DH that this was a great deal! So for the last week I subscribed to this thread and lurked (sorry) just waiting for him to be like YOUR RIGHT (LOL) lets do it!
Quick intro Im Drea, married to Elbert (aka E or Mac), DS#1 Phoenix 11 when we cruise (P), and DS#2 Justice 6 now and when we cruise(J) (they go by cuz well im just to lazy usually to type out their whole names LOL)
This is our 2nd Disney Cruise and I think we are all hooked. We JUST did the Sept 27th Double Dip. We knew we wanted to cruise again but didnt want to go in school time as we had tons of homework to do while on ship and then catch up when they got back to school. Once dis put out the military discount (DH is a Marine) I knew I had to be back on that lovely boat! LOL. Also this cruise is the perfect time as last cruise was right after hubby got done with his 4tour in Iraq... this one sound like it will be right before a tour in Afganistan now...
We are not telling the boys they knew we rebooked on board. But didnt know for when. So we are going to tell them we are going to DH's moms house for the week in Tx (which will be met with moans and groans Im sure LOL) Then the day we fly out going to bust out shirts I am making with the words "My Parents Surprized Me with a DISNEY CRUISE!"
Ok I think Ive brought everyone up on me LOL.
We did Fish Extender gifts on our last cruise (50+cabins) and/or Secret Mickey Gifts for the cabins (some did 1 some did both), also we had a Dis meet in the Promonade lounge pre fire drill. It was great to put names and faces together! Oh we also had personal lanyards done... just throwing out some ideas.
(sorry to be so chatty cathy, hubby left early for a week in the field and I have had about 5cups of coffee waiting for the furniture deliver people to come)
Cant wait to "meet" you all!
Welcome! I believe Airtran just posted their prices for June 27th on Wed or Thurs of this week. If they follow their normal pattern, there will be prices in the lower catagories...web specials and such...within a week or two. We are also watching carefully. We booked a flight in for $86. Hoping the price home will be close to the same. We fly in and out of Akron Canton, and Airtran is the only one offering non stops to Orlando.
Welcome! Its just my DH and I too. Our kids are married. Our first Eastern as well.
