We'll be joining you, too! I am so excited I can hardly stand it!! It'll be me (hi! I'm Terri!), my dh Thomas, and our son, Jared, who is 8. This is our 1st time on a cruise! We're doing the Land and Sea, so we'll be doing the park 3 days 1st then the cruise (also our 1st!). We'll be happily relaxing after running around WDW for 3 days!

I can't believe we get the double-dip!! WOW! How cool is that? Castaway Cay for TWO days!!

I'm still waiting to see who can get me the best deal, but got 2 holds on for this cruise! I've been reading like mad and making Tip Sheets, etc. for both the park and the cruise!

Hope to see you guys there! Oh...I think we're going with the later dining.

Hi Terri!

I had not checked this thread for a few days (school is stealing so much time), sorry! We are doing land and sea also. Staying at the POFQ, and you?
Less than 100 days to go!

Hi! What's your name?

We're staying right across from you at Riverside. Both places look great.

My TA told me the FQ was undergoing renovations at that time...??

We are SO excited! Can't wait to go! I just booked this, so don't have to wait long to go!

Wow, that's awesome!! Congrats! So this is your 4th or 5th Disney cruise? Or is it other cruises you have done? I know I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Disney cruise if you've experienced that!

Also, it should be FOUR days of CC if you're doing B2B's with it being a Double Dip cruise!

 

[Spackle75]

My name is Shannon and my SO is Tracy. Two adults planning to get a chance to be kids at WDW and relax and feast on DCL. I did have notifications on, but had hit it as weekly (oops!)

I seriously excited. We did a 12 GTY, so I am interested in what room we will end up with and we lay homage before the upgrade fairy in hopes of a bump up!

 

[tparbs]

Shannon, hi!

So you did a 12 Category? Is that what you are saying?

We did, too, and yeah--really hoping for an upgrade!! My TA told me it's a guaranteed room, so better chance of an upgrade.

We are SO excited!!

When did everyone book? I just booked this thing this week!!

it's our 4th and 5th disney cruise. We just love every bit of it. Helpful tip - if going to Atlantis, book a 1 day reservation at the Comfort Inn on Paradise Island. Much cheaper that the Disney cost.

As far as the B2B, we are doing the 4 day DD at CC and then the 3 day cruise. So it's just 3 days at CC. But we are still very happy about that!

Hi! Ah...I see re: the 4 and 3 day. Why didn't you just book a 7 Day cruise? Was it cheaper splitting it?

Atlantis...I've heard it's not worth it...is it? Also, why book a hotel on Atlantis?? Haven't researched it yet. What do you mean cheaper then the Disney cost?

When did you book your cruises?

we didn't book a 7 day b'c we are CC freaks! the 4 day DD and the 3 day will give us 3 days at CC.


As for Atlantis, it's only $245 to get a room @ Comfort Inn, which gives us all access to Atlantis, the Dig, all pools and such. the DCL excursion price was over $500. Atlantis is great for my family. DH just loves clear water and gambling. DD is 5 and DS is 3 and both love the kiddie water park, and lazy rivers. Plus we all love The Dig.


We booked or B2B's on our last Disney Cruise. Saved alot of money on both b/c they give you alot off your next cruise if you rebook

This will be my frist criuse and i cant wait. My DS has no clue about the trip. .... But i do tell him a little bit at a time. Do you think that I should tell him or not? By the way he is 8

 

[Forever a Princess]

Count us in!

This will be our first cruise; Me (37) and DH (40).

We are doing a couple of power days at Disney World prior (staying at the BC). Then after the cruise we're going to crash at the Animal Kingdom in one of the villas.

We can't wait!!!

Our 1st cruise, too........can't wait! I'm looking forward to the cruise more then DisneyWorld, though I'll love both!

I couldn't keep the trip a secret from our DS!! LOL What dh did was counted down the days for him on his calendar in his room! That way, he doesn't need to ask us how many more days!

Ouch....I dunno....too much $$$ for us considering everything that Disney offers already. Paying enough as it is...and there's so much to enjoy between the Wonder and Castaway Cay.

But I know some people opt to do Atlantis. I know us...we're beach and ocean freaks, so just chillin' on Castaway will make us extremely happy!

 

[MariaTia]

Hey guys - room for us too??

We (Maria - 32, DH, Isaac 33) are booked for the May 18th 4 day cruise as well! We actually just got off our cruise on Sunday (3day Feb 7-10) and booked while onboard. This will be my 7th Disney cruise and DH's 5th Disney Cruise. We will be celebrating our 13th anniversary on May 20. We love Disney cruise line and Castaway Cay as well and can't wait to get back

So, hello everyone

 

[msnicole]

Hello Terri. My name is Nicole and the clues seem to be working pretty good....One of the clues was 7526 well thats our cabin # his ans. was "is that how many miles we are going"? Good try but no LOL...So as we get closer to the date I will tell him more...Oh but it is killing me.....

 

[tparbs]

Okay...now I'm really excited! We paid off the trip yesterday (we just booked like a week or two into February! lol), and I'm soooo ready to experience this incredible trip!

We decided to add on one day to WDW after the cruise, which will be perfect! 3 days at WDW, then the 4 day cruise, then that one extra day! We just added on a value resort for the last night. And it was sooo cheap! So instead of being sad that the cruise has ended, we can be excited at another day in the park! Perfect!

So...how many of you are really starting to get excited? Wow...it won't be long before we're boarding the Wonder!

Oh...and hello to those who I haven't said a hi to! Hey, who's up for meeting on the ship? A meet up? Perhaps a drink at the bar?

This is going to be the trip of a lifetime. Our kids will never forget it! My son is sooo excited and is counting down the days!
