I need to subscribe to this thread.

iwannabeminnie, I'm guessing that you already love Disney? DH & I have been on 4 other cruiselines and we like this one best! This is the first time we've booked a second cruise with any line! You'll have a great time!

 

[iwannabeminnie]

Yes, we are Disney lovers! My husband's first trip to Disney was on our honeymoon 8 years ago. He was 40 years old at the time and he fell in LOVE with it. I couldn't believe he was the same man I had to drag, kicking and screaming to WDW. We will be taking this, our very first cruise, with a group of friends from another site. We are so excited about it. Even my husband, who with 6 trips to WDW under his belt now, can't wait. (He is most excited about having chocolate chips cookies brought to his cabin by room service. He just wonders what it would cost him to have Pocahontas deliver them!)

Good One!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WELCOME!

(He would also settle for Tinkerbell.)

The lady who the Disney artists used for their animation is going to be on the ship with us.

I also dragged my DH to WDW 6 months after we were married and he loves it! I was there half a dozen times in my former life & was just hoping that he could share my love of Disney...Well, we now are DVC members & have a room dedicated to Mickey Mouse! I guess he's hooked now, too!

Hello all.
There are 7 of us booked, with possibly 2 more. The definites are my DW, DS's 11 & 8, DD 6, MIL and SIL. This will be our second Jersey week Western and I recognize two names already on this thread that was with us in 2005. Here's hoping the weather will be as good as '05, we had nothing but sun. Also looking forward to Cozumel as we diverted to Costa Maya in '05.
We booked the new Residence Inn for the night before and we'll be spending an extra night after the cruise at WDW BCV.

Our older daughter is not happy upon hearing that Tinkerbelle (the real-life model) will be on the cruise. (the DDs aren't going with us on this cruise, the short version is they didn't care for cruising in 2005 and our schools are in session that week).

Can't wait to see everyone on board!

 

[iwannabeminnie]

Will it make her feel any better to know that by now she is "old?" My daughter is 20 and she thinks I'm positively over the hill, with one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel.

The lady on the left is the model who is Tinkerbell.

 

[iwannabeminnie]

That is so cool! Thank you for sharing!

Hi everyone,

We are also part of the NFFC Club that will be meeting with the tinkerbell model. We have sailed with the club twice before and it was a lot of fun.

This is our 4th cruise and we are traveling with another family. It is me, DH, and our 2 dd's who will be 12 and 14 at the time of the cruise.

We are counting down the days as we are freezing here in Jersey!!!

Just put down our deposit, for me and 4 DDs (21, 19, 11, & 9 at time of cruise)! We are splitting up w/ the older girls in a cat 9 and me and the little ones in an 11 (we need deck 5 for DDs and the clubs). This is all but the 21yo's 2nd cruise; we did a 3 nighter last year to see if we'd survive the motion sickness. The last cruise wasn't so great, so I'm hoping that this one makes up for it. It is going to be everyone's Christmas/birthday for 2007!

After the cruise, we'll go to WDW for 5 nights, then on to Myrtle Beach for me to vendor at a scrapbook weekend. Long busy trip, but at least I'll be rested before the work begins!

Have to get DDs passports next...

Hi All,

I didn't realize that there would be so many other New Jerseyites on the cruise. I guess it makes sense!! My oldest is in 1st great so we were not in tune to this before.

We will be joining all of you. It is me, DH (who is not so into Disney), DS will be 7 and DDs will be 5 and 3. I booked the trip about a month ago and then got the bug last week and booked the Jan 6th Eastern for the girls and I. So I will be a veteran by the time November rolls around. If any of you more senior veterans has some suggestions for my upcoming trip I would love to hear.

I look forward to talking with all of you more.

Hello!

I have read about the NFFC before - is it too late for our family to join and take part in the sponsored events - or would we have had to book through NFFC??

thanks in advance!

 

[michboro]

What does NFFC stand for?

 

[needAcruise]

We are another Jersey family for the Jersey cruise! What a surprise!

DH, DD(5), DD(7) and I are signed into a Secret Porthole room. We have costumes and lanyards at the ready. I just have to get my door magnets created, and then I will sit and watch the clock...

And I want to know what NFFC stands for too!

 

[lUVTOGO]

What does NFFC stand for?

It stands for National Fantasy Fan Club which is a group of Disney Fanatics Wordwide! We booked through a travel agency in NJ who is also a member of this club. We get a lot of extra pixie dust booking with the club. The rates are very good also so I would assume you can also book thru the group. PM me if you would like and I can give you her phone #. It won't hurt to ask.

pansmermaidzlagoon .... I booked onboard and transfered my ressies to the TA.

 

[needAcruise]

So everyone are we gonna have a meet and greet once on the ship? That woud be nice. Maybe a little game to get everyone involved. What does everyone say?

Hope everyone is doing well. Hope we start this thread hopping real soon.

A meet and greet sounds like fun. Just say where and when. I will show up, but no promises on DH and kids. They may be having too much fun at the Mickey slide!

Lime green mickey heads, anyone?

 

[love2travel]

Me and my family are always up for a meet and greet!!!!
