November 26, 2011 Western Carribean

[CherylA]

I keep checking for a cruise meet thread for The November 26th 2011 cruise and all thats out there is some old bananahead cruise thread. I'm guessing the bananaheads abandoned the Nov 26th date but I didn't!! My husband, myself and our two daughters will be on board, hope theres many more DISers cruising with us!

Hi! There is a November 27, 2010 Western, not the 26th. A thread has been started for that one!

 

[CherylA]

Whoops It's 2011. I changed my title. Wishful thinking that it was coming up sooner!

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list

 

[Marty Moose]

Yayyyy!!!

I've been waiting for a new 11/26/11 thread (too chicken to start one myself - lol).

Followed the Bananahead thread for pages and PAGES before realizing they had all jumped ship (so to speak)!

How old are your daughters? My kids will be 11 (DS) and 7 (DD)

Can't wait!!!

Oh Hi! been a while since I checked back here, I thought I was all alone! My girls will be 6 and 9 when we cruise. I am so looking forward to a longer cruise, we booked this date on our 4 day back in April of this year. It still seems so far away but I know it will come fast!

I was also waiting for a new thread to start!! We are having friends and family with us on the next cruise. Hopefully, a few of them will also join in the DIS fun.

Our Crew:

Me (will be 41)
DH (will be 46)
DD (will be 17)
DS (will be 15)
DM (will be 63)

We also have 14 {maybe 21} more people joining us on the cruise.

Our family did a three-day in January and it was the first time I participated in the FE Exchange. I had a blast even though it was 3-days. I am soo excited to do the Western Caribbean.

Well Welcome! So excited to have some peeps lined up for our cruise! It's still so far away but I'm already super excited! Wow Tammy you could have quite the crowd!

 

[TJGorman]

It is going to be a long year+ but I think planning/anticipating is half the fun. Yes, we have quite the group going I hope I can convince a few more families to join in the fun.

Right now our crew is my family (5)

Best Friend's Family (3)
Fire company Family (7)
Niece's Family (4)
Hopefully my co-worker's family (4)
Hopefully two of my husband's co-workers (4)

It will be an even bigger party if I can convince some of my family!

My family of four is also planning to do two days at MK before the cruise. I am quite excited as DH, DD and DS have never been to the parks. I am soo excited they finally gave in and are going to give it a try.

 

[TJGorman]

Only 443 days to go until our cruise!

My family is currently booked for the 4 day dream leaving on sunday the 27th. But we are seriously thinking of changing!!! Just waiting to see if the whole crew will join in. My family, my sisters, our parents and grandparents are all going to cruise together. I suprised my children last December with a cruise on the wonder. We loved it and rebooked the whole crew. I am really excited. My little ones are 6 and 8 right now. Hope to talk soon.

Oh I hope you join our group! Good kid ages

 

[madry2009]

Just booked this cruise!!! So excited!! The whole family is going. It will be myself, my boyfriend, the kids (mad is 8, ry is 6) My sister and her hubby there two girls (lilly 4, and Rory 3). My parents and grandparents. Super excited it will be our second disney cruise but for the rest there first. We would love to do the FE at least for the kids. It can't get here soon enough.

 

[CherylA]

Yay so excited to have another cruiser with us. I'm not sure about the FE exchange, maybe just for the kids. It seems like a lot of work!! I'm planning to do any excursions on my own, not through Disney. It would be fun if a group of us from the DIS did one or two of our own excursions together. Just a thought, anyhow I won't even be looking at that stuff until next summer I suspect. Welcome to November 26, 2011, it's going to be great!

 

[TJGorman]

Welcome! Sounds like you also have a large crew.

The good news is we ONLY have 427 days, 19 hours and 12 minutes before we leave on this cruise. (Can you tell I am getting a kick out of my countdown calendar? )

 

[TJGorman]

Less than a year to go!

 

[CherylA]

Yay! So what are you all doing before/ after? Are you flying or driving, what are you doing for Thanksgiving? We just got back from a week in the World, Thurday (Thanksgiving) to Thursday (yesterday) flying on Thanksgiving is pretty cheap in comaprison to the few days before and after the holiday, so we may fly down on Thanksgiving next year too. Maybe do the Very Merry Xmas Party at the MK on Friday and then take the cruise the next day.

Oh so I see here you're doing 2 days in the parks before the cruise, how great! It is a busy time of year though so make sure you use fast passes!
