Awesome! Thank you! We are so excited.

I don't know about everyone else but I can not wait until this cruise!!! My hubby and kids aren't even talking about it. So, this site is all that I have. Lol. Just looking forward to the heat and sand and even watching a movie or two on the boat. Actually, I'm looking forward to every aspect! Anyway, hoping that some of us with similar aged kids could try to meet up as well. That would be great to have them make friends right away so that they have a buddy in the kids club. I saw that a bunch of us have girls (mine is 8). My son is 11 so I'm guessing he'll be rotating between the tween club and the younger kid club.

I am very excited and so are my daughters. We are busy making our gifts and pirate costume so it's on our minds daily. My 16 year old as started a daily countdown already. She will send us a text letting us know how many days left and attach a Disney cruise video. I in turn send them a weekend countdown since the weekend is when I get most of the things done and right now I have 4!!! weekends left.

I am also ridiculously excited. I'm almost paralyzed by it and constantly stalking the forums! I cannot wait to scuba dive!!

Hi! I'm Ellen from Philadelphia and my fiancé and I just booked the cruise last night! We both work in healthcare with crazy schedules and just realized we both have that week off so we decided why not take the cruise! I've cruised before but never on the Disney cruise so I'm very excited and he's never cruised at all. We are booked for the second dinner seating which is fine by us because we don't usually get out of work until late so we are used to eating later and booked Palo for one of the nights. We are flying in the night before the cruise and can't decide whether to just stay by the airport then take a shuttle or uber to the port or head down and stay somewhere by the port the night before. Does anyone have any suggestions on hotels or what you've done in the past? Also any excursion tips would be appreciated too! Thanks so much!

Welcome aboard, in the past we usually stay on sight and use the Disney transfers, they are easy and reasonably priced for our family. One year we stayed off sight and ended up renting a car as that was the easiest and cheapest way to get to the port (other than the Disney cruise line transfer). For just the two of you, i think renting a car is cheaper than taking shuttles. If not that, do the Disney transfer. Hope you love Disney Cruises as much as all of us!!

We have had a countdown on our phones since last February so we were all jumping for joy when we had a countdown less than 100 days so now that it is in the 20s we can hardly contain our excitement. I will admit I have already started packing but to my defense we live in Omaha, Nebraska and it isn't quite summer outfit time yet so I won't be needing these outfits for the next few weeks. My son, who is turning 6 while on the boat, can't stop telling people "HIS BIRTHDAY CRUISE" is coming. Well, one day is your birthday, the whole cruise isn't a "Birthday cruise". But lets be real, these cruises are every kid and kid at hearts' birthday cruises!!

How exactly does it work with shipping the FE stuff? I was wondering how that would all work if we're flying directly in and will go straight to the boat...
