Magic Christmas Cruise 2010 (Dec 18th - 29th) - ***UPDATED - post #411 ***

[IceSk8ersMom]

Congrats 3princessmommy on earning that PIRATE

I hope to be on the thread more during the summer (29 more days and school's out) and after my sister's wedding (July 31). I planned the Bachelorette Party this weekend. Vegas! The theme is Shows, Shopping, and Spa.

Happy Mother's Day! I hope everybody enjoys her special day. It looks like a good day for me. It started yesterday with a trip to Ann Taylor

Talk to you soon.

We got a fantastic discount too (nearly $3000 on two rooms ), but only after I got testy with our TA because she believed the first DCL rep she talked to that there were not discounts. LOL

I have found with all things Disney...DCL, WDW and DLR ... that if you get a CM that does not satisfy you on your first phone call, hang up and try again. There are so many CMs at their call centers that it's amazing how little one knows, and how much the next one does, and how little the first one will go to help and how far the next one will go. If you don't get an answer you like, just call back.

Hey there fellow Christmas cruisers...

Just wondering if we have a roll call going anywhere? My daughters (15 and 12) are looking to meet other teens/tweens before we sail. Any ideas for us/them?

This is a closed group, so you have to ask to join. I think this is the best way of keeping information private. If you do send a request, please PM either dreamsoftravel or thegales, so we can match you to the disboards. We will do our best to make sure only folks going on the cruise are added to the group.

This is post #411. I don't think it's been updat in a while. But it might give you some leads.

 

[HFC1969]

Our family has a new addition to that list.

So we are a family of 4... DS 10 (bday is second day of the cruise) so he will be 11. DD is going to be 4.

I found severalchanges that need to be made. Unfortunately, both the OP of this thread, and the person who set up post #411 as an update page have both dropped out of the cruise. I wonder if we should start a new thread? Might be easier to collect information for everyone when we get more into deep planning mode.

I'd be willing to do this and keep it updated if you all think it's worth it.

Here's what I came up with for a current rool call. I'm not sure about some of the people listed. A few haven't been active for quite a while. Please let me know if anyone has any changes. And check to make sure the ages of your kids reflect the age they will be while on the cruise. I can also start including stateroom numbers if you know them and want to participate in the fish extenders (I have a handful listed).

You can take us off of the list. The school calendar is making this trip too difficult. Our kids are too old to miss several days of school. We're quite bummed about it - but maybe another year!

Have a fabulous cruise!!

Ok. Updates made.

3PrincessGrandma, to the DIS! When you post, you get your own entry on the list. Great have you aboard.

 

[VMinick]

Our complete information is:

Vanessa, Matt, Brendan (age 10), Tristan (age 7), and Madison (age 3)

We're in stateroom 8034.

I'm getting seriously excited! Working on a little girl's wardrobe for a longer cruise is SO much fun compared to my boys. I already have nearly everything ordered for her and now have to find something else to do!

 

[Disney Rocks]

We recently added another cruise to our plans this summer. It's still a surprise for girls, but we've managed to get them in touch with a few girls from that cruise (the other girls know it's a surprise for our girls, and they think it's a fun game to talk about meeting them in "December" and then actually meet them in June).

So I'd like to get back in touch with you about this AFTER our June cruise, to avoid the confusion of meeting girls from two cruises at once when they think there is only one cruise. How about that?

That sounds good. Our girls would love to meet up with your girls.

Wow! That doesn't seem too long away....

Thanks Big AWL for organizing the list. I think starting a new thread as the time draws nearer is a good idea. I am glad to see that we are getting a few new additions. It is also sad to see that we have lost a few cruisers on the way.

It has been a good weekend so far. I am typing this post from my new MacBook Pro. Last night I went to Stars on Ice with my DD. Evan rocked it. I cannot wait for Monday night's DWTS. Go Evan and Anna! Today, I also got my bridemaid's dress. My alterations costed more than the dress. I am down two dress sizes. Thanks Weight Watchers!

We researched airfare and found some deals. Looks like we are going to fly out of LAX and not Orange County. My parents are treating us to first class tickets as a Christmas present. Looks like Santa will come early to our home.

Things that I am looking forward to: DWTS finale and The Bachelorette, Raven's dance production, my Sex in the City birthday party, Raven's birthday, and the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL (This is the most wonderful time of year for educators). AND I CANNOT FORGET DISNEY' S WORLD OF COLOR AT DCA!!!!!!

Take care and talk to you soon!

 

[HFC1969]

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day ...

197 days til

Just had confirmation from my dad, that we're going on this cruise to! Whoop! Will be our third cruise and first Christmas. Anyone know of any 21/22 year olds going to be there? There's me (22) my DMum, DDad, Dbrother (19) and DSister (13). It'll be great to keep my tan topped up from working six months in Portugal

 

[HFC1969]

first Christmas.

It is unbelievable!! Welcome aboard!!!
