Hi there SDeal!! My 12 year old son Daniel will be on this trip, he's a friendly, low key kind of guy. We could try a pen pal exchange if you'd like to pm me

 

[Dave1442397]

We'll be on the trip too! My wife and I will have our seven-year-old daughter with us. It's our first cruise, and my daughter's first Disney experience.

We decided to spend a few extra days in Orlando after the cruise to do Sea World and some of the Disney parks. We still have to figure out which ones, but we'll get to it.

I booked a couple of excursions this morning to get us started.

Hi disneymomoffour,
I notice you are from Monroe, we will be coming from Shreveport. My daughter and I are the only ones going this trip, she is 12 and would love to meet some kids her age!

Yes we are! (Just as of last summer-moved here from Denver.) Have 4 kids-our daughter just turned 14. I am sure she would love to meet your daughter! (We also have a son who just turned 11)

My DS, 13 and DS, 8 and myself are counting down the days until May!! We can't wait......

Wonderful! My husband and our 17yo son won't be coming this time so we are eager to make some new friends. I had hoped my mom would be able to make it but no such luck.

All! Looks like we're going to have an extra in our room. DW's brother has changed his mind and decided to join us.

So now we are confirmed, but don't have a stateroom number.

A bright side is DH won't be the only pirate in our room!

Me, My DS13 and DS8 are flying into Orlando on the 24th of May to spend a couple days playing before the cruise...Planning a trip to Kennedy Space Center the Sat before....unsure of what else we are doing at this point.... but looking forward to it! We can't wait!! Our last cruise was the 7-night Western Caribbean - Sad that this trip will be shorter, but so glad to visit Castaway twice! Lots of changes since our last vist!

Hi May 27th dbldip cruisers!
Just wanted to stop back in the room to see how every one is doing? Getting giddy like me yet?
Its getting close now and I cannot wait.
Has everyone got the excursions/ressies/spa appts they were hoping for?
We are playing it low key since this is our first Disney cruise...no Palo/Remy, no major excursions (except maybe parasailing on Casaway), and maybe a couples cabana massage. Just want unscheduled time to take it all in!



What are you all looking forward to the most?

WDWPrincess71, how is the FE group going?

Looking forward to hearing how our fellow castaways are preparing...

Pixie dust to you all,
~amy

The FE Group is going well- 17 staterooms signed up! We are so excited that we only have about 2 months to go! We did get all of the things we were hoping to book- Atlantis aquaventure excursion, Remy/Palo dinners, and Palo brunch. Palo brunch would only let me book for 2 of us and not 3, but I booked it anyway and will just call onboard to tell them we have 3. The only thing that was frustrating, as some of you also know, is that the pirate night is listed on the wrong night online in 'my cruise activities'. It is listed on our sea day when in fact it is our Nassau day, as my TA confirmed with a DCL supervisor. Luckily I was able to change my Remy reservation accordingly. Several other DISers on other 5 nighters have also confirmed that their pirate night is listed incorrectly online, so i'm not sure why DCL is having an issue with this. Hopefully it all works out in the end.

Hi Tammie! Welcome to our cruise meet thread. I've got you signed up for the FE, the only thing missing is your family's hometown city/state if you'd like to give that.

 

[Tbelsen]

Hi Everyone! Some of you have started PM'ing me asking me for details on the FE list so far so you can start your planning. So, to make it easier, I've uploaded the spreadsheet to Google Docs and you can access it with this link, you dont need to sign in or anything:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuVIzUuxho4adGZZMDVaNlN1QzhlR3lyaFNaLUFLR3c

Let me know if you have any problems, I haven't used google docs in awhile but it seems pretty straightforward.

Now for the FE cutoff, the consensus was to cut off 6 weeks prior to cruise, which will be April 15, now that's an easy one to remember ; ) Anyone else who wants to join please PM me between now and 4/15. This gives us time to finalize/personalize our gifts.

 

[disnemimi]

Thanks so much Nicole. I am thinking our cruise will be here before we know it!! I wonder if everyone is as excited as I am??? A couple of my grandchildren helped work on FE gifts last week and really put them in the excitement as well. We so appreciate all your work Nicole.

Yes Nicole, thanks for taking the time to organize the FE exchange. Looks good to me. Can't believe we're less than 2 months away!
