Add us to the list of cruisers! Me, DH, DS7, DS4
We are doing the land and sea package. 4 days at the resort (Poly) and 3 days on the cruise. It will be our 10 year anniversary!
This is my first post ever (my DH has done this before) so I hope this works

I obviously did not read all the posts on here or I would have seen that my husband posted almost the exact same thing yesterday!
(I guess I just read the first page)

Welcome Amy!!

 

[maleficent esq.]

Welcome Amy and Happy soon to be 10th anniversary

 

[magicalmcwho]

Welcome Mike and Amy and Happy 10th anniversary as well.

This will be our first Disney cruise for me, DW and DD6. I guess that puts us up to 7 families on the cruise. Sounds like it will be a great time, would love to meet somewhere onboard.

We have the second dinner seating. What time is it for the second dinner seating? Can you change it to an early seating?

Jim.

 

[manlscott]

Thanks for the big welcome! We are all very excited. Mike has been a bit stressed, and I keep telling him that all will be good, but I have to admit, after seeing some of these posts with door decorations and theme nights at dinner, I am getting a bit nervous myself.

agraygirl--Yesterday, my 7.5 yr old and I looked at your cruise pictures from last May. He can't stop talking about "the boy on the computer" that will be on our cruise! He is very excited to meet him and has already told me about 10 times how he would really like to become friends with him! We will definately have to get them together.

My son will be 8 in August. He is a pretty bright boy and would probably enjoy the activities and people more in the Oceaneer's Lab. Do any of you know how strict they are on the age limit? If his birthday is within 3 months of being eight will they let him move up to the Lab?

We too would love to meet up wtih y'all one day on the ship.

Hi Amy,

I am feeling the same as Mike but I am trying to plan the trip as I have always done. Been looking to see what to pack, how much, what to wear for dinner, what to do, etc... all in about two months. I am feeling a little better after reading some of the posts on what to wear to dinner.

I was also wondering about the age limit on the children activities since our daughter will be 7 in Decmeber.

Maybe we could all pick a day or time and meet up or before the ship sets sail.

Jim.

Thanks Jim - nice list - hope it keeps growing. It is snowing like crazy here in Central Illinois - crazy April weather.

 

[magicalmcwho]

iloveokw,

The weather here in Houston is a little strange as well but no snow, well hardly ever any snow here. It is in the mid 60's down the the low 50's for today, really windy. Normally it is much hotter by now but we like the cooler weather plus my light bill is less.

I hope our list keeps growing and we will all have a chance to meet up.

Jim.

 

[agraygirl]

So sleepy... just wanted to say

47 DAYS UNTIL EMBARKATION!

​

[magicalmcwho]

I am sleepy too as well.

40 more days til we leave for the world.

Good Night, Jim.

Hi y'all & Greetings from South Georgia! (I would say sunny So. Ga. but it has been cold as heck here today!)

I hope I'm not jinxing myself but I'm planning to book the 5/31 cruise in the a.m. and saw the thread and had to post! We (Me, My mom (DGM), DD7 and DD4.5) will be at Disney at BWI from 5/26 until 5/31. We were planning to go over to Universal for the next 3 nights but are changing plans to go on the 3 night cruise instead!!!!

My first DCL experience was last year with DH and his whole family and we absolutely loved it. My dad and DH don't quite understand our Disney obsession - although they are good sports-, so this is a "girls" trip. I called my mom to "run" the idea by her of taking the cruise instead of Universal. Being my Disney soul mate she, of course, jumped at the chance!!!

I will let you know about our cabin when we find out more. Can't wait to meet you all!!!

Hi Laura

We are staying at CSR from the 27th till the 31st and going to head to the gate asap on the morning of the 31st.

Maybe we'll see you at the parks!

45 DAYS UNTIL EMBARKATION!

I'm already having dreams about it. In one I missed the boat, in the other the boat was itty bitty.... very odd.

 

[agraygirl]

Okay so I was trying to come up with a cheap solution for us DISers to recognise each other and I wanted to run this by you guys.

Its a bright green Personalized Engraved Silicone/Rubber Bracelet
They also have them in burgundy/green:

http://www.abnerbrothers.com/page10.html

I propose it be engraved with "Disney Wonder 5/31/07".

We could all order our own.

What do ya think?

 

[manlscott]

Welcome Laura! I guess by the time you read this you will have called to set up your cruise, so...Welcome Aboard!

agraygirl-The bracelets sound like a good idea to me, but I can tell you that my husband won't wear a bracelet
I would wear one though. I too was thinking of something we could do to recognize each other. I think you came up with a good idea.
BTW, Great family picture!

Okay, y'all are putting up a bunch of initials for Disney stuff and I am totally lost
Is there someplace that will tell me what these mean? (ie CSR SSR VWL OKW DVC) POR-Port Orleans I am guessing

Sounds like there are a few of you that will be at the parks before the cruise. Maybe we could meet up there before we head to the ship.

anything that ends with an R is a "Resort"

CSR - Coronado Springs Resort
SSR - Saratoga Springs Resort
VWL- Villas Wilderness Lodge?
OKW- Old Key West
DVC- Disney Vacation Club



My husband wont wear the bracelet either... my son might.

There's also the t-shirt/hat option. I can make a cafe press store and they can be ordered in a bunch of sizes as well as kids sizes or hats. But I can't seem to come up with a design for us. I've never been to good at the graphic design thing. I'm also not sure about copyright stuff either, or I'd plaster up a picture of Mickey or Minnie and a boat or something.

 

[manlscott]

Thanks, agraygirl! I also went hunting on the DIS boards for a list of initials and I found this: DISboard Abbreviations

I thought about the shirt route too. But, we wouldn't want to wear the shirt the whole time we are on the ship, and if we don't have it on, other DISboarders won't know us. I think the bracelet is a good idea. My husband and I rarely do things separately, so as long as I have it on it will work. I am also not very good at coming up with design ideas. (That is apparent as I am racking my brain for a door design!)

[manlscott]

What about those circle badges that we could pin to our shirts?

 

[agraygirl]

We can do that...
Like this?

What would it say?

I like the idea couse I can pin it on my lanyard.
If we can come up with somehting to say on it I can create the store and add a url here. I think they are like $1.50 each.
