Welcome prov3v56, nice to have you aboard! And glad to hear you got a great price on the trip!

Welcome Angie! I'm looking forward to getting to know you too!

Well...we're considering moving the wedding up and getting married while we're on the Magic in Nov 06...which means this trip may change from a belated honeymoon to a 1st anniversary cruise....I'll keep you posted!

Howdy all

Just got home today from our Western Magic cruise and we rebooked on board for this cruise in a Cat 2 cabin #8016, I think. (We got a great price...same price we paid for this past cruise's 2 cabins .. cat 4 and cat 10)

We are SOOOOO excited because we really need the extra space for our family.

Traveling will be myself (ACK! 42 by then), hubby, and 4 of our kids..... (then) 18, 12, 8 and 6.


WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

How was the weather on your trip? We just got back yesterday from a four night on RCCL and because of the high winds, the boat rocked and rocked. We were unable to make a stop at their private island. Were you able to stop at Castaway Cay?

I really hope that the weather will not be bad for this cruise.

 

[Melora]

The weather was very good for most of the trip. It did rain one evening but only briefly. The seas were very rocky but the Disney boat has these enormous underwater stabilizers that it deploys and we didnt feel a whole lot.

We did stop at Castaway Cay and I would have to say that was the best part of pur trip.

Melora,

My DD who will be 17 at the time of the cruise is wondering if your oldest (will be 18-yr-old) is a boy or a girl? She met some great friends on our DCL cruise last year. Many of my Internet friends from another board had teens her age and I think that's what made the cruise for her!

Welcom Melora! Glad you could join us!
If you would like to share whether your kids are boys and/or girls I can update the first post.



Hope everyone had a great Easter. It was originally supposed to rain here but Mother Nature decided to hold off until about 10 minutes ago so we had a beautiful day!

Please let me know when you are ready to start chatting and we can pick our day and time!

Ooopppps! Double post when I tried to edit!

 

[Melora]

My daughter is 17 now and will be 18 on this cruise. She met so many people on our cruise last week and says she misses them already.

She wont have the same freedom next cruise because she will be staying with us in the Cat 2. She had her own Cat 10 cabin last time so she got to invite her firends in for late night room service etc. She is a great kid who we trust so I didnt have a problem with her doing that. Our 2007 cruise she will have to visit friends outside the cabin and come in VERY quietly when she goes to bed. As we are on the West Coast its hard for her to go to bed early while on East Coast time.

The younger kids are a boy, Alex (will be 12 then), then theres Katherine who we adopted from Russia last year and she will be 8 and Jeffrey Jr will be turning 7 the month we cruise.

 

[MommyTo5]

I really hope that the weather will not be bad for this cruise.

I really hope we have perfect weather and smooth sailing !!! On our Western last year, we missed both Grand Cayman and Castaway Cay. It really wasn't that the weather was so bad as I can only remember clouds the 1st two days but the seas were very rough during most of the cruise. If we miss Castaway Cay again, I doubt DH will ever agree to cruise Disney again.
