My boys are very excited about the kids clubs. Have you cruised before? I really hope we can have an active meet thread. I would love to meet up with a bunch of DIS'ers on the ship!
Hi! My family (me, DH and DD14 - at trip time) will be on this cruise in May 2008.
This will be our 3rd Disney cruise and our first Double-Dip cruise. We love the shorter cruises,because we go mainly to enjoy the amenities of the ship itself. Two trips to CC are icing on the cake!
We have late dining. How about you?
I hope that there will be a Palo brunch, even though we don't have a traditional "at sea" day.
Hi!! We are down for early seating. This is our first cruise with the kids so I am so excited!!!! I too am hoping for the brunch, although I am not really sure when we should try for the Palo dinner either. When do we think they will make a decision about what night for Pirate Night and those types of things?
My kids are so excited about the activities. My 8 year old (will turn 9 on board) can't wait. I asked her if she wanted to try and stay with her brother...she looked at me like I had lost my mind..."no MOTHER". Oh well.
They are also looking forward to cookies and milk before bed!
We have early dining also. We have watched the DCL planning video MULTIPLE times and the kids are counting down the days! DH and I are hoping for the Palo brunch. Sounds yummy.

I just moved my cruise for the 3rd time -- downgrading from a 7 night Eastern. This will be our second cruise -- our first was Thanksgiving 2005 Western. I was looking at prices and thought maybe we should just do the 4 night and then go to the parks after (we've never been).
Joining me will be DH, DD (12), and DS (10) [at time of cruise]. Also, when I booked I was surprised to find that there were tons of rooms already book -- while I was thinking May might not be as crowded!
Thanks!... now I'm getting excited (if we can "afford" to do this ) but I just booked our 4 nights at Disney following the cruise! Any tips on this part of the venture are much appreciated since we've never been!!!!
I am very sad to say that we will not be joining you all! I mentioned we'd never been to the Parks and that we were switching to a 4 day cruise to go to the parks afterwards well I sensed that my kiddos were more interested in the parks so call me stupid but I asked
You guessed it, so now we are doing the parks ONLY AND worse I cancelled my coveted cruise that I've been moving all over the place since 2005 (to retain my discount and credits)
Well you know... it's for the kids -- right
I hope we like the parks since we'll be there for a good long visit!
Enjoy your cruise! I'm sure I'll be thinking of it while I'm in Orlando!!!
My SO and I are going on this cruise. It will be our first!
I graduate with my MBA on May 11th and doing the land-sea dealio is my present. I have never been to WDW and never done a cruise but have wanted to do both for several years.
Will gladly take any advice regarding what to do or not do.
