November 15, 2008 7 night Western 11/15/08 11-15-08

Anyone else signed up for November 15, 2008?

We rebooked onboard for this one AND the Thanksgiving Double Dip, but we'll only be keeping one...and this will probably be it because the cost is SOOOOO much better than Thanksgiving week!

It will be me (who will be turning 40 shortly after this cruise), DH (38 at time of cruise), DD (11 at time of cruise), and DS (7 at time of cruise). This will be our 3rd Disney cruise...our 1st was the West Coast Cruise to Mexico, our 2nd was the Eastern Caribbean, and now we will be doing the Western.

We had a great time meeting and mingling with our fellow DISers on our past cruises, and we look forward to doing the same on this one!

Nobody else is sailing with us? Well...I guess it IS a little early!

 

[mommykeg]

anyone?

This will be our first cruise and we are sooooo excited. I have been checking out all the tips on this board since we booked in April and have already made a list of things I need to get!

There will be me (41) DH (34) DD (15) DD(9) and DDBF(16) traveling. We've booked 2 cat 10 connecting staterooms (girls & boys)

I'm really looking forward to meeting fellow cruisers,and hopefully find a friend for DD (10 when we cruise) who is quite shy.

This is my first post and I was wondering how you get the ticker on the bottom as it keeps coming up as error?

 

[Disneyday]

Looks like it is just the two of us.

At least we will get in the pool!

 

[mommykeg]

Hi!!! So glad someone else is going to join us!! This is our 3rd cruise and we are really excited too! Ask away if you have any specific questions...I'll do my best to answer.

My DD will be 11 at the time of our cruise...so she would probably be in the same club with your DD (the 10-12 group). Maybe we can get the girls e-mailing (or regular mailing) so they can get to know each other a bit before the cruise...maybe when we get a little bit closer to the sail date? We did that with girls on our last two cruises, and they couldn't wait to meet each other and spend time in the lab together!

Pretty soon, we'll be under the year mark!!

 

[Disneyday]

That would be great, perhaps your DD could tell mine about the lab.

I think I am starting to get a bit obsessed with counting down. My DD 15 told me she had an exam on 8th Nov and I replied 'that would be exactly 53 weeks to her cruise'
Thanks for the offer of 'tips' I'm sure I will be asking in the near future

 

[Dan & Su Thome]

Don't cruise without us!! We are also booked on the Western Cruise the 15th-22nd of November. This is going to be our first Disney cruise. We are soooo excited to go. We are going with some friends that have been on a few DCL. Can you tell me what to expect??

Thanks,
Su

Hello, everyone -

We (DH and myself) have talked to our travel agent about the Nov. 15 '08 Western Caribbbean trip - she advised us to hold off until we have taken our first-ever cruise this year (4 day Wonder on 11/4-11/8/07) to "see if we like cruising" so we may be joining your group, too! Enjoy the countdown!!

Thanks! and we sure will let you know how the cruise was! You will find a lot of info on the Disney Cruise Reports, too. Hubby and I are soooo excited about this trip (doing 4 days at WDW before the cruise - our 3rd trip to WDW) - you'll see how much fun it is talking on the boards with everyone You definitely will feel like a DCL expert before you finally get there!

I am so addicted to this silly site. I have it opened all day at work and check it all the time. My DD & I have fun checking different threads out. Maybe it is just us few that are going cruising!!

 

[Silly Little Pixie]

anyone?

HAHA I knew I'd see you here sooner or later, Kim! Too bad we won't be joining you on the Magic since we'll be on the Wonder! I think we'll be at WDW for the second leg of our stay when you sail away.

BTW, we need to plan another happy hour soon!

If I could just get the first graders in my classroom to be completely independent, I would be on this site all day too!

Do you think there is a cure for Disboarditis? I can't wait to get home from work to switch on the computer. The rest of the family just don't get it. What is wrong with them???

 

[Dan & Su Thome]

This is really off the subject......but, I have read so many people talking about reading that their stateroom was right above the props or it has obstructed view, or it was really noisy at night.....etc. Where can I find that information about our stateroom??

If you click on 'staterooms at the top of this page and then go to stateroom reports, you can enter your stateroom number and see a cruisers report.
Alternatively if anyone has stayed in the room you are staying in on the main cruise line board. Good luck
