Last time we went, he didn't spend much time in the club, preferring to get DH and me to play shuffleboard, go to movies, the pool, etc. Since we'll be partially celebrating our 21st anniversary and my 50th bd, we want time to ourselves as well.

Anyone with a 10-11 year old boy? Liam will be 11 in October.

Alex 16 (female Alex)
Bo 14
Luke 11 (same age as Liam, he is in the 5th grade now)

We are travelling with a bigger group including NaNa and Papa, 2 of my sisters with their significant others. Another grandma and 3 cousins 13,13, and 11). Total of 15 in all.

We've been with my mother and mother-in-law, but would love to share with my brothers and their families. Enjoy!

Liam is in 4th grade, but with an October birthday, he's on the older side. Does Luke play any on-line games? That's where Liam meets new friends these days, it seems. He plays Club Penguin on-line.

What's funny is the NaNa and PaPa are not my parents, rather my in-laws. My sisters are going and we have done this a few times before. My husband and I have dated since high school so my sisters banter with them just as if they are our parents. We are blessed to have them in our lives as we have lost both of our parents. (remember that blessed part come the second week of our vacation together, right ).

Yes, it is fun. Our kids have memories that I hope will last a lifetime!

I haven't been on this board in forever...been so busy but I thought I'd check in and see what was going on. And yes....my family would love to do this. I'm not sure how it works but it sounds like fun.

So, can you please add us...

Rob, DH Lettie (me) Celina (15) and Chad (12)

also, does anyone know if there's a Dis meet planned? We would love to meet up with everyone on the board as well. I know mine two kids are wanting to get to know kids before the trip as well. I know Celina started chatting with a few kids but got so busy with school that she didn't have much time to chat after while. She would love to start chatting again with anyone her age. As well as my son Chad....

I'm so excited....this trip is coming up soon!! Sorry, if I was so chatty...but I'm just so excited about the trip now that it's getting so close.

Hello all,

We are booked as well for the June 20th cruise. I can't wait!
We are on deck 5.

Welcome to the gang! There are a few other "Buckeyes" listed on this trip!

"Leia's Mom" has been kind enough to keep a list (it's down a few posts) of people who're sailing and who're active in the discussion thread. Glad to have you aboard.

 

[jazzykirl]

Please add my family to the list:
Jill(Jazzykirl), Russell DH, Sean (20) DS, Austin (15) DS

Could you tell me what "Fish Fairies" are ?

From the research I saw, the "Fish Fairies", or "Fish Extenders", are for people in our sailing group who wish to give little "surprise gifts" to each other. There is a thread under the FAQ section. I think it gets its name due to the fact that your little "gift collector" hangs from the fish outside of your stateroom that serves as a mailbox.

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1219607

It will show you sample gifts and pictures of sample extenders created by other guests onboard previous cruises.

Where are you in Ohio Jazzy? We are in Westerville.

We are from Pickerington. You are a real close neighbor!

 

[FairyGrandmother]

I didn't see on this thread a cheat sheet of the first names/ ages of the people sailing. I'm willing to create if it hasn't already been done.

Just PM me the first names and ages of your group. If you are interested in doing the fish extender, let me know that as well, and I'll keep up a FE list as well.

As for us, we have a big group with 6 adults and 4 kids. Should be fun!

please add us to the list. fairygrandmother (Magie), DD Mickey (Michelle), DGD Bethanie 14, and DGD Caitlin 9. Fish Extender participent

We've had to change plans, so if anyone is on the waitlist or is interested in a Cat 3, we moved our ressie, so it is becoming available.

Just FYI- Good Luck......

I saw this...I was hoping one of the ship would have been called Disney Wishes.

 

[kidsmom]

I just received this from my DU TA. Thought I would pass it along to help with your planning.

I’m sorry but Disney is no longer releasing the entertainment schedule (Golden Mickey’s, etc.) in advance and advises that you check your Navigator once onboard.

Here is the Theme dining for this sailing:

Night 1 = Cruise Casual

Night 2 = Formal

Night 3 = Cruise Casual

Night 4 =Pirate Night

Night 5 = Cruise Casual

Night 6 = Semi-Formal

Night 7 = Cruise Casual

I hope you are getting as excited as we are. Only 99 more days!!!
