My DH and I went on our 1st cruise on the Disney Dream in January and have been scheming ever since how to take another cruise. We had the time of our lives and the Dream is beautiful! We love WDW but after many trips it's time to change course and sail with Mickey and Friends on the high seas......So, we are officially booked on the Magic. I am so excited that it will be getting a face lift.

Booked this one for our anniversary cruise...my son is very disappointed that he wasn't invited along! We did our first Disney cruise this past January and fear that we are hooked!

There will just be the 3 of us. Me, DH, and DD (13). This will be our first time on the Magic, but our 2nd Disney cruise. Our first cruise was on the Dream. I am super excited that we will be one of the first to partake of the Magics new upgrades. . My DD is all about the AquaDuck. We had a hard time getting her off of it last year. I can't wait to meet as many of you as I can. Its going to be a great cruise!! My DD will have just gotten back from his deployment so it will be a well deserved vacation!!!

Welcome. We're going as grown ups as well, we'll just be taking our 10 DS and 12 DD with us. It's nice that the cruise can accommodate all our needs.

Luv this! I'm excited to find this thread. We will be on this cruise too! We have only cruised the Wonder (although dh and I are taking an adult only in August on the Dream), so are very excited to be on a different ship. In addition, we haven't cruised in six years, everyone is so excited.

ETA: our kids with us on this trip will be DS16, DS13, & DD11!

Hi everyone! Like most me and my family are super excited to be cruising this upcoming November! I was hoping for some advice. My family and I are flying into Ft Lauderdale the day before (Thanksgiving) the cruise...got a great deal on airfare. Does anyone have recommendations on where it's better to stay overnight, Miami or Ft Lauderdale? Is anyone else doing this?

 

[redmomof4]

I have only booked my airfare return from FLL, however my plans are to fly in on 11/27 to Orlando and enjoy a day at the parks for Thanksgiving!

We are flying into Miami the night before the cruise and staying at the embassy suites at Miami airport... A good deal from Expedia! Kids are excited for the cruise! Sounds like there are more and more kids their age... We are me 42 DW 41 and 4 kids ... DSD15 DSD12 DSS8 and DSD6... My 9th on. Disney and my wife's 2nd.. Kids 1st cruise ever!

In going to try to convince them of them fun of the FE.. Wish me luck!

In addition to all the upgrades to the ship, we MIGHT also get some Holiday Magic (ha! See what I did there?):

I'm interested to see what, if anything, the Magic will have for the Holidays.

I was hoping for Christmas decorations, but this will be wonderful
Unfortunately we will miss Castaway Cay

Hi everyone! We are new to Disney cruises (well to cruises in general!) We're thinking about going on a November cruise. Originally thought about the 15th, but now we're pretty sure we're going to book this one! Can anyone give us any suggestions on veranda vs. inside staterooms? We're trying to decide if the extra money for a veranda is worth it. Our DD is 2 1/2 years old. My thoughts were if she takes a nap, it'd be nice to sit outside on the veranda, rather than be stuck inside. We're trying to decide if we want to book an inside stateroom and take a chance that we may be able to upgrade. We think we'd like to get involved with a FE (thought it'd be fun for DD.) Our group is DH, DD, my MIL, and myself. We just wanted to come in here and say hi and see if anyone has any advice for us newbies

I'm not sure if this will help you, but veranda rooms are a little bit bigger. Since you will have three adults in your party, it might help. We don't spend much time in the room, but for us it's worth it. We like to seat outside and enjoy our coffee while kids are still asleep. We keep the door open and enjoy fresh air and natural light, dry our swim suits, read.... just love it!!!

I am pretty sure the extra square footage (from 214 for an inside to 268 for a veranda is just the veranda space) anyone else, correct me if I'm wrong, please.

This will be our first time going on a cruise and we are very excited . We were very excited to hear that the ship was getting a remodel and can not wait to see what it looks like.

We (DW, DH, DS(9) and DD(7) are also flying into Miami the night before the cruise and are staying at the Embassy Suites Hotel at Miami airport. They offered a Cruise and Stay package that I purchased, so we have transportation to the ship the next day. This is my DH and kids first cruise ever! And it was very easy for me to convince my kids to participate in the FE. Can't wait until November.

Hi there!

We are trying to decide betwen a trip to Disneyland or this cruise. The cruise would cost more and we are trying to weigh the two. The FE sounds so much fun. I know this sounds silly but can you tell me how many families are signed up for the FE on this cruise?

Thanks

I am curious as well. I am ready to get started making my fish extender gifts. I have PM'd Monkey28 to see if she is still willing to handle the list.

I have been extremely busy and have not done a great job of getting involved with this wonderful group ...with that said and I may have asked this before...so sorry...
Would you all participate if I set up a FaceBook page...it is so much easier to communicate on a closed group on FB??
I really want to be part of the FE and I am not sure where we stand on that??? Anyone know??
