November 12, 2011 - Magical Double Dip!

[alexandmaddie]

Welcome aboard Krista and family! WhooHooo we've got another family joining us!! Looks like we will have a group of boys around the same age. My two will be 8 and 7 at the time of sailing.

We will also be in a SPH room. We will be in 5520. We were in 5022 on our last cruise and loved it!

Will you be driving or flying down to Florida? Last time we drove but I think this time we will fly. Between gas, food and lodging we would have broken even.

Anyways...we have a whole year and a half to go. Hopefully the time will fly by.

We will have quite the crew of boys, won't we?!!? That's great to hear that you've stayed in 5022 and loved it! We've never had a SPH room before.

We'll be flying to Florida. We have driven twice, but it takes soooo long from MN. We can usually get tickets for $230/pp so it isn't too bad.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone in the next year and a half!!

We just booked this!!! This will be our 2nd cruise. Our first was a 4 night (too short). I wanted to try a 7 night and my DH & DD wanted a double dip, so this worked out perfectly! I'm glad I found out about it from these boards! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

 

[Mickeymick1967]

Welcome aboard I was so excited when I found out it was a double dip too! How lucky are we

 

[Homemom]

I'm lucky thanks to you Mickeymick1967, it was your post I saw that got me to start researching this particular cruise in the first place!

 

[i<3castawaycay123]

Welcome Homemom!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we will also be doing the May 1st, 2010 4 day cruise on the wonder! Yes, we will still be doing this cruise. We just decided today to go! It will be me, my mom, my sister, my aunt and her husband and daughter. We are so excited! I even started to pick out my outfits for dinner. LOL!

 

[Homemom]

Congrats on the May cruise! I don't know how I'm going to make it until
November 2011!

 

[i<3castawaycay123]

Yes, I agree! I have no idea how we will make it until November '11! It seems like a long ways off but I know it will be here before we know it.

Just a quick reminder, I have also made a kids forum. If you have kids that would like to meet other kids going on this cruise, just send them there!

 

[rescuetink]

We are booked, packed and ready to go!!! Is it time yet???

Oh.... wait... we're going to WDW this May, I guess I better get through that first!!!

This time we booked 2 Cat 9B rooms, rather then 1 veranda room, it was cheaper believe it or not!!! We have rooms 2094 and 2096... BUT... now my MIL and her husband are going and their in room 2092... AND... my son's godmother and her daughter (my DW and my goddaughter) will be joining us also!!! I go to book their room tomorrow!!

The ONLY reason I booked this cruise, and will be taking my son out of school for a week, is because it stops at Castaway Cay twice!! I LOVE CASTAWAY CAY!!! Especially with kids at the age mine are that don't appreciate the other islands!!!

This will be my DW and my 4th DCL trip!!

My son and MIL's 3rd DCL trip!!

And my DD's 2nd DCL trip!!

The rest are DCL rookies!!!!

Welcome Rescuetink!! And to all of your gang also!

I am so excited about this cruise I can hardly stand it! I LOVE castaway cay so when I found out this was a double dip I was phsyched.

 

[TheM&MBoys]

Welcome aboard everyone!!

Sorry, I haven't been on the boards lately. I have been quite busy with work, planning out our sons 7th birthday party for the end of the month and making reservations for our two week vacation to California this summer.

Hope everybody is doing well and I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Has anyone cruised the western before? What about cruising in November? We've only cruised a 4 night on the Wonder this past January and the water temp at Castaway Cay was a little cold for my liking.

 

[i<3castawaycay123]

Yes, we have cruised the westen. It was ok... It rained on every island we went to except for CC. My mom got off and Key West just b/c we had forgotten some things at home that we didnt know that we needed. At Cozumel we got off because for my birthday my present was to swim with the dolphins. (I highly recommend this, it was so fun!) At the Grand Caymans we got off and just spent the day at the beach.

The lastest in the year we have cruised was actually the cruise above. It was in the last week of October. It was never cold, but then again this was 3 years ago and I cant really remember that much about it.

We did the western last year in May!! The weather was perfect!! I think every cruise we've been on has been in May and we always had great weather!! We chose the western again this time because we wanted to go back to Castaway Cay twice, as that's usually our favorite place to stop!!

We've never cruised in November before, but friends of ours did @ 4 years ago and they had no complaints!!

 

[Homemom]

Thanks! My DD is very interested in the dolphins, so i'll look into that for sure. She loved the stingray adventure on Castaway Cay.

 

[i<3castawaycay123]

I loved swimming with the dolphins! It was so much fun. Even though it rained the whole time it still was a great experience. My dad did it with me and he even had a great time. And on the website it says to bring water shoes, you dont need them. The only reason they might say you need them is because the thing that you stand on while you are with the dolphins is very hard on your feet.

I'm sure your daughter will have a great time!
