June 6, 2009--Anybody going?

[GoofyYankeeGirl8]

My mom just found out that the price of our cruise went down, so you may want to double check your reservation price and the updated one and see if you can possibly get a better deal.

Just a thought, it may be worth checking to someone. =)

Hi all!
I just booked this cruise about 15 mins ago.
We got back from the 15 day EB Repo cruise in Sept and our girls could not wait to schedule another one.
This will be our 3rd DCL cruise and 6th all together.
We have a 12 YO DD and a 9 YO DD.
We have decided to be pretty low key with this cruise since the Repo was so full that we did not come back relaxed. It will be nice to not be up at 12:01am EST hitting Refresh until we can start booking Palo, excursions, spa etc.
This will also be our first cruise without our parents and extended family in attendance. My parents will just be coming back from a 4 1/2 month cruise around the world so they probably will not want to jump back on so fast.

I called this afternoon and had my reservation adjusted--saved $872! (but on the way home to make the call my automatic car window broke, which cost almost $400 when the other side broke in March...you win some, you lose some!)

Welcome to the June Bugs cruise

Taffy Girl will pick up your info and add it to post #1 - won't you Taffy Girl

My oldest granddaughter will be 11 when we cruise and she is writing to Emily who will also be 11 when we cruise so if your girls want to jump on board they are welcome or they can wait and see if others are interested - there is so much for the kids to do and if they have a friend or 2 or 3 you don't worry about them as much

We are talking about a meet and greet and also playing a fish extender game so think about it and we will get serious in the spring

I hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Thanks!
We are trying to decide if we leave the cruise a surprise or tell the girls. I think we will compromise and tell them in the Spring.
I noticed they took the cat 12 off for this cruise so maybe it is filling up and we will get some more cruisers joining us here.

Hi All,

Sorry that it has taken me so long to get back to this board and add m&m's mom, but now I have. M&m's mom, if you like, please tell us more about yourself like where you're from and who all will be cruising with you on this trip. You can see the list of other posters on the very first post on page one of this thread.

Thanks much.

All my Christmas preparations are finished except I haven't made any cookies yet, nor done the grocery shopping for our big Christmas Eve meal (which is when we all gather).

Everyone have a wonderful holiday season,
Marilyn

 

[Taffygirl]

Opps! I see m&ms mom is from Texas. I'll add that straightaway.
Sorry, Marilyn

WE WILL BE CRUISING THIS YEAR

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and you're enjoying the new year

NOW the planning begins for REAL

My 32 year old daughter got smart and dumped her boyfriend and she asked if she could have her own room so she could sleep in and they had 1 cabin on deck 7 just down the stairs from our suite and she got it I imagine she will spend lots of time with us but will also have a place to get away from three nieces, a sister and brother -in-law and her mother (ME) so now we just have to make sure that her reservations links with ours for meals, etc.

I'm going to request a PLA rotation for our dining so we can enjoy Parrot Cay the first night and get In The Mood, Lumieres on formal night (Sunday) and then enjoy Animator's Palate on Monday. We are going to book Palo for Monday brunch and Thursday dinner - trying to avoid Pirate night and late shore excursions from St. Maarten. Does this look good to you guys?

Going to have to read some trip reports this spring and make sure they keep the same schedule for the Eastern trip with the new additions also hoping someone will share Navigators

Working on shore excursions as we will have a 1 year old with us along with scuba divers, fishing people and a golfer and ME who loves to tour the islands and see the sight and shop

Have a Happy 2009 and see you in June on the MAGIC

Do you think we could start a thread for the e-mail-aged girls to start talking to eachother? I have a 9 YO DD who would definitely find it fun and I agree that if she goes into the cruise "knowing" some people she'll be much more excited.

Just reading your message kind of overwhelmed me. For us newbies, what do we need to schedule and what should we look for?

Thanks!

Hi All!

We're the Daniels and we'll be taking our 4th Disney cruise with all of you in June. We just got back from a 3 day on the Wonder in December. Traveling with us are my good friend and her daughter. Here are the specifics...


From Morgantown, WV
Suz (me)
Jeff (dh)
Katie (dd 13)
Bobbie (dd nearly 3)

We'll be celebrating Bobbie's birthday on June 10th and mine on June 13th

Traveling with us are:
Terri (df)
Kelli (dfd 13)

We love all things Disney. We'd initially planned a week at WDW before the cruise as we like to end with the relaxation of the cruise vs. the run, run, run of the parks. We've had several snow days already this year so school will run into early June which resulted in our changing the week at WDW to after the cruise. This is still open to cancellation if we don't feel like we can swing both.

Looking forward to meeting you guys!

Suz D

We are so excited! My mother-in-law just booked a cruise for our family. We are going to celebrate her 70th birthday There is a total of 7 of us going. It a lot of fun to start planning and looking at all the fun things we will get to do. We are arriving from Arizona, my husband, kids and I have never been on a cruise (MIL has been on many). My brother-in-law and my MIL's boyfriend are the other two going with us. The kids are ecstatic Kellie is 11 and Ryan will have just turned 10. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and have fun planning out our trip.

 

[Krisanm67]

I've never heard of this. Where can I learn more? Well, I haven't had much of chance to read through all these posts, I'll do a quick search and find out.

I think my DD Kellie, 11 also, would like to chat with the girls too.

Hi Kristine and also Suz D. I will add your informatio to our list of happy Disney cruises on the first post of this thread (back on page 1).

We have two grandkids who will also be on this cruise (Mikey-age 11) and Katy (age 8) who would enjoy chatting with other kids that they'll meet on the cruise. How does one set this up?

Thanks,
Marilyn

 

[Krisanm67]

Marilyn,
Thank you for the welcome and adding my family to the list. I'm not sure how to set up a chat either - I'll try and find out. I guess they could talk on this board too? I'm new to being part of a board/group like this - a first for me.

Hi all and Happy New Year. Welcome to the people who just signed in. We are ALL going to have a Magical trip.
My daughter, Emilly(11), would love to e-mail your children. You can pm me and we can exchange e-mail addresses. My daughter and GrandmaDebby's g-dtr have been e-mailing. It's nice that they will already know a little about each other when they get there.
Also, someone wrote in that their mother will be turning 70 on the ship. As well, my mother will celebrate her 75th birthday whilst on-board. There are 16in our party. We are in 6 cabins on deck 7 up near the bridge.
We are also planning on going over to WDW after the cruise for a day or two.
Looking forward to a great time!!
