So excited to be joining the group! My son and I will be traveling on our first Disney cruise. Celebrating an early Mother's Day and my son's 5th birthday. We are avid Disney goers here in SoCal but this is a big first for us. Happy to share our special voyage with you all.

Hi everyone!!

We just did our first Disney cruise (first cruise ever) a couple of weeks ago, the 3 night Baja, and loved it so much that we booked this 5 night while on board! It will be my husband, myself our daughter (8) and son (6). We are from southern Cali and about an hour and a half from San Diego which makes these cruises a lot more affordable for us Since this cruise will be a little longer then our first we will definitely want to participate in the FE!

@marciemouse well any upgrade will be fine with me at this point lol I haven't cruised in a while and I haven't had my Disney pass since January so I'm missing Disney very much!
@DonnettaR WELCOME!!! How exciting!! I'm a big kid at heart too!
@iZach oh no... but totally yay for you! lol Have an amazing trip... now you got me thinking on changing mine to September cause what I'm paying for May, I could get a Verandah for $100 more
@VanKirk4❤️DCL welcome! We're taking our son for the first time as well. He will have just turned 2! We are super excited, yet so nervous! Fish extenders are super fun. I did it on my last cruise about 2 years ago and loved it. I'm sure you will too. If no one wants to organize it as the date gets closer, I'll step up and do it.

@Two_ears_up OMG!!! that is SUPER exciting for you and your little one!! WELCOME!! I am a huge believer that disney cruises are by far the best ever and if a big diney fan hasn't done one yet, you are def missing out! you are going to LOVE it I promise!!! You and your son should join the fish extender once the date gets closer.
@Sarahmommyof2 wasnt the cruise just magical? and 3 nights is just not enough!!! Welcome! So excited to see so many people joining this cruise. I'm already planning on booking my next cruise on board... without my husbands consent hehe

 

[marciemouse]

I'm sorry to say, I am leaving you guys! I just changed my cruise... doing the 7night Mexican Riviera in Sept 2017.

I miss you all already (just imagine a sad face waving... because it wasn't an option)

You won't have to miss us, because we moved to the same week-long cruise! My husband has been hoping for a 7 nighter, since we did two of them (both Mexican Riviera) in 2012.

We just booked this cruise, our first Disney one! It will be me, my husband and my 6 year old son. We are so excited to join you and want to be a part of the FE swap!

@Mamaerth welcome!! Super exciting for this to be your first cruise! you'll love it! once the date gets closer, well post more info on the Fe exchange.

Hello! Today was exciting... convinced DH to allow me to book this cruise, as our cruise buddies are eyeing it as well. Received confirmation from our travel agent it was booked. This will be our 3rd cruise as well! Looking forward to not flying. Our son will be 4. Excited to see the dry dock updates!

 

[pixiedixie862]

Yay! Welcome @aymekae! Looks like we have a lot of 3rd time cruisers on this cruise. I'm also looking forward to not flying! Yippie!! I'm excited about the dry dock updates too! When I read the announcement last week I was so excited. What's the update you're most excited about? I'm excited for Tiana's place restaurant and the update on animators palette!

 

[DlandAP]

Ok..........we are jumping ship on this cruise. We changed it to a 5 night in October 2017.

 

[pixiedixie862]

bummer!! sad to see you go!! Thinking about doing the same since its a better price for the same itinerary just haven't taken the plunge since I don't want to wait an additional 5 months... @DlandAP

I'm also excited for Tiana's Place... that's such an amazing idea!

The other good news is... this cruise is already "paid for". We just closed escrow yesterday, sold our house, and I'm setting aside enough from the proceeds to fund this cruise and a summer 2018 Alaska cruise. Will be putting it into my Disney Vacation Account today.

So... the other day someone posted something about how they wanted an adult day care, somebody who would prepare delicious food 3 times a day, plenty of fun activities, nap time, etc. It occurred to me today that a Disney cruise is the perfect "adult day care" for me.

Hi! This will be our second Disney cruise on the wonder! We're a family of 5; hubby, 3 girls ages 16.10, & 8, and myself! We're so excited, May-2017 can't come soon enough!

 

[birdmom]

Hi guys, my husband and I just booked this one today, its just me and DH (leaving the kids at home this time) We live in San Diego so this is going to be a fun little get away for us.

I haven't been on this site in ages. We (DH and DD) booked 3 back to back cruises (5 nighter, 2 nighter, and 3 nighter) while on the Disney Magic Transatlantic cruise last spring. I told DD one FE group this time, and hope to make it the 5 nighter trip to Cabo. Have FE groups started?? This will be our 11th cruise, and we become platinum!!
