YEA BABY!!!!


Can you make any recomendations???

Spaceport Transport has some great reviews and pretty good prices, I plan on using them this time. We have used Happy Limo twice and been pleased each time, but found the prices a little better for us thru Spaceport so we are going to try them out

We've used Happy Limo in the past, they were great, but a bit more pricey. I think I will have to call the space port folks and see about prices.


I need to get passports ordered for the kids too, thats going to be a big hassle,

I agree about Happy Limo, they work out very well for us when we are traveling with a bigger group (more people means less cost for everyone lol), I'm looking forward to using Spaceport this year

And getting the passports shouldn't be too bad, I actually had a dream last night that I had forgotten our passports and we were already in Florida I have this reoccurring nightmare before every cruise

Yay!!!! Our price was pretty good with Spaceport plus Cari has been super nice to talk with so we are looking forward to using them. Also I don't know if you guys need to stop anywhere before hand to pick up any last minute items (or booze ) but they do include a grocery/liquor store stop so just remind them you need to stop

You can check Happy Limos rates directly on their website, but they do cost more

I cannot wait for this cruise!!!!!

My wife liked the email she got back from Spaceport as it was personal, but the email from Happy Limos was more of a "we're the best look at us" kind of email!!! So as soon as the rest ot our party gives us the we're booking!!!

We're not very big drinkers, so a liquor store isn't a big deal!! And I'm not going to buy a case of water because I think we can get plenty to drink onboard!! Maybe we'll stop for snacks though!!

I need to start making requests for door magnet items as well as t-shirt DISigns!!! I was loaded by this point before our WDW trip last year!!!

SO excited to be joining you all on this cruise! We were on the Magic last November and will be boarding 1 day shy of 1 year since we disembarked... we just could not keep away!!

We (Elizabeth & Aaron) will be cruising with our two sons, Aidan (5 at the time) and Zachary (22 months) as well as my parents.

We are SO very excited!!!!

WELCOME ABOARD!!!

We're so glad to have you all join us!! Will you be attending the meet and greet, or doing the FE's??

Since you were on about the same time last year were they decorating the ship for Christmas while you were on last year???

 

[Adie's Mama]

I will definitely try to attend the Meet and Greet!

Last year I was on the cruise prior to this one and they JUST started with the Christmas stuff towards the end of the week. I think this cruise will be the beginning of the Christmas decor in full swing.

I haven't told my 4 year old.. he is going to go NUTS when he finds out we're going on "Mickey's Boat" again. He had the time of his life. Here's hoping my little one sleeps better this time! Cruising with a 10 month old who slept poorly was rather unpleasant.

My son and daughter will both be 4 and will go crazy. My little boy went with us about 2 years ago and he loved it, still talks about it and tells his sister about what they are going to do. This will be her first cruise with us, she will be in heaven.

Gift Exchange Info

Meet & Greet in the Promenade Lounge Deck 3 at 3:00pm on Embarkation Day!!!!
We will meet in the Promenade Lounge at 3:00pm before the muster drill and sail-away to get to know one another briefly, put names to faces, and for those of you who would like to participate, we will also have a gift exchange!

Here's how it works:
Each family will bring a small gift to represent the area they are from, aka their hometown/state For example you could bring something from a local store like maybe a trinket from an artist in your hometown or if you are into sports bring something to represent your favorite home team. Last cruise on DCL, the gift I received was from a very sweet lady from Texas, she brought some local spices & coffee, along with a little Texas BBQ cookbook. It was really cool! It's just a simple gift nothing extravagant, that is unless you wanna give me a free cruise

No seriously just something light and fun.

At the meet & greet, I will have name-tags to hand out where we will put our DIS name along with our real name, so that we can identify one another easily Then for each person or family who has brought a gift, when you come in find me, I will be handing out some lei's & up at the bar looking like I am in charge : Also I'll be wearing a name-tag At that point I'll write down your name & put it into a bowl/hat for the drawing part. I will also jot your name down on a list of who is actually participating in the exchange. That way everyone who brings a gift will receive one in return You hang onto your gift and have a seat, get to know some other people, have a drink, just relax

Around 3:30pm, which should give everyone enough time to mosey on down, we will begin the exchange I will call a name from the list and that person will come up pull a name from the drawing pool and exchange gifts with the person whose name they have drawn.

Very simple lots of fun and it ensures that each person who brings shall receive And no one is pressured into bringing something, it's completely up to each family, but please do come and hang out with us either way!!!

Can't wait! It's gonna be sooooo much fun!!

I love looking for these at the parks and resorts, hoping they are as fun on the cruise! Anyone else do these?

[disneydreamer82]

Is it time to leave yet?!

 

[disneydreamer82]

Sorry duplicate post!

 

[Adie's Mama]

Well, it looks like we'll be in Cat 5B connecting rooms on Deck 7 towards the front... don't have the exact cabin #'s yet, but I'm getting excited! This will be my first cruise of any type with a verandah.

I'm just PRAYING we can still get first seating for dinner, or we'll have a disaster on our hands with our 2 small kids. Eek!
