November 14, 2010 4 Night Bahama Cruise

[LynneDurham]

My kids will be 9,8, and 5. I think they will have the time of their lives!!! We booked the Walt Disney suite and my parents have no idea!!

This means we'll be your next-door neighbors! We're in 8032!

Congratulations on your fabulous treat -- what a wonderful surprise!

We've stayed at a few resorts on property, but we have yet to stay at the Polynesian and experience it. Thanks for the reminder about being able to walk to the beach and watch Wishes. We booked an Oceanview Stateroom for the cruise, but there's always to hoping that we could get "magically upgraded" to a Oceanview Stateroom with Veranda since it's our honeymoon!

We'll keep our fingers crossed that you get some honeymoon upgrade magic!

This is our very first Disney cruise (and my very first cruise overall). We're celebrating Greg's birthday, so we decided to splurge and book concierge suite. That's why we get to book 120 days out.

We definitely plan on hitting Castaway Cay! Our relaxation will come BEFORE the crazy pace of WDW because Greg wanted to spend his actual birthDAY in the Magic Kingdom. So on disembarkation day, it's straight to MK for us!

We've never been to Palo either, but it sounds like something we want to try! We're both excited about Animator's Palette, too. What a cool concept. We can't wait to see it!

Will you all be dressing up for the Pirate party? We're debating whether to dress up or just have fun checking out all of the cool costumes. Do your kids like to do the character meet and greets?

Wow the concierge suite...TOO COOL! 120 days out just passed so I hope your booking went well. We just might have to check out Palo too and Animators Palette is one of our favorites...you're gonna love it! Not too sure if were gonna dress up yet but the kids might...they love doing the meet & greets...so many awesome memories for them! Can't wait!!!

We got an email from the concierge staff on Thursday evening giving us their contact info and telling us we could start booking our stuff today (July 17). They are only available business hours (M-F).

I've been trying all day and unable to get into the Disney Cruise Line web site! I keep getting a 500 error, which tells me nothing. I'm going to try signing in from a different computer, just to be sure it's not something on my system.

My fiancee and I can't book things until August 31. We are getting really excited about our cruise; 118 days until we set sail!! LynneDurham, we're also going on the cruise BEFORE Disney World! So we already made the transfer from PORT to the POLY!

Here's a question for anyone who's been here before. Palo is a must for us on the cruise. If we decide to dine Palo for dinner, which dinning night should we replace it with? We were thinking Tritons just for the fact that it specializes in seafood and both of us aren't huge seafood fans. Let us know you're thoughts!

Anyone interested in doing Fish Extenders??

 

[nick.turpchinoff]

Newbie here to the whole cruise! Can you please explain to me what Fish Extenders is?

 

[teresa4304]

We are new to Disney cruises too. I read about them on here and they look like lots of fun! Here are some links you can look at....but there are tons more on here.

We are so excited about our first Disney cruise!! My DH, 5 year old DS, and I will be cruising...celebrating a birthday too!! I was really hoping to find or start a Fish Extender list, but the cruise will still be awesome without it! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!

 

[nick.turpchinoff]

Teresa: Thank you for showing me those links; I understand what a fish extender is now! My DF (Fiancee) and I are so excited about our honeymoon cruise; first cruise too! We're looking to meet up with other DISers on the cruise. Because going off the boat on Nassau and Castaway Cay, we were thinking would be more fun when we're with someone else. I'm sure your 5 year old son will love it!

I see that you were in the college program. My sister-in-law did the program two years ago and loved every minute of it. Congrats on your future wedding!

 

[nick.turpchinoff]

Thanks Teresa. My fiancee and I both did the college program. We're huge Disney fans and couldn't think of a better honeymoon than a Disney Cruise!

Let's get this thread hopping more! WHO'S EXCITED! I am!
Can't wait until August 31st to start booking excursions!

 

[teresa4304]

I'm beginning to think we will have the boat all to ourselves! Where is everyone???

 

[don604]

On our last cruise there was soooo much chatter on our board that I couldn't keep up...this time around we are only on page 4 I know as we inch closer things will pick up but we are about 3 months away! It's most likely because this is a 4 day cruise and not the 7 nighter but I will do my part and chat some more

What are your plans for Nassau? Roll call anyone?
