I just wanted to say that we will also be sailing with you: We have just put down our deposit for a stateroom on the 2010/10/16 Western cruise!

This is not only our first Western Caribbean cruise,
and not only our first Disney cruise,
but it is our FIRST EVER CRUISE!

There are still loads of things we need to read up on, being such newbies as we are - including this thread; but first of all, here is some information on us for the roll call:

DH and I have just been to WDW for the first time (it was our honeymoon), fell in love with it and decided to come back in fall of '10, but to combine that with a cruise - I've always wanted to try one! We don't have any kids but I have read that a Disney cruise is a great thing also for couples without kids, and we will be staying in a Cat 6 stateroom.

Now back to planning and reading - I'm sooo excited!

WELCOME ABOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who did you book your cruise through??

 

[annichan]

WELCOME ABOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who did you book your cruise through??

Thank you! We booked directly through disneycruise.com, as we are booking from overseas we kind of felt safer dealing directly with Disney and not also with another company that is a continent away (I know, we could have got an onboard credit with some travel agencies, but we're just chickens and feel safer this way )

Now that I have read a little more of this thread, I'm confused:
Did bzzelady mention somewhere that she has given up the stateroom 6134 with the secret verandah?

Because that's the one DH and I are booked on ...
I couldn't believe my luck that one of the four "secret" cabins was still available so I secured that one for us yesterday.

Did I book the wrong cruise, 2009 maybe?

Or is it a software glitch? I wouldn't want us both to be booked into the same cabin accidentally ...

Hum . . .bzzelady might have given up the cabin because you now have it booked I will change the roll call to reflect the change.

We'll probably be doing the stateroom switcharoo until we sail away!

Hope everyone is having a Great Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone!

We just got back from our first ever Disney cruise, and we re-booked on board for the Oct. 16, 2010 Western Magic. I am thrilled that there is already a thread for our cruise!

My name is Nicole. My sister, Courtney, and I will be traveling with our parents, Frank & Esther. We're in rooms 2062 and 2064.

Just wanted to say hi to all of you! Looking forward to the countdown over the next year and a half!

hi Nicole!!! and Welcome!!!
so happy you will be joining us

 

[pinkygirl]

I am so excited to have found this thread! Hubby and I just decided that it's time for our first cruise and this is the date we have chosen. I am beyond ecstatic as this is a dream of mine!
My name is Renee' and my hubby's name is Rob.

Welcome Renee and Rob!!! you will love cruising..this will be our second cruise and we are hooked

 

[pinkygirl]

A very Happy Memorial Day to everyone, especially those who make the sacrifice to serve our country and protect all of us!

Sarah's party the other day was a blast!!! It was threatening to rain all day and the pool was closed when we arrived (although they anticipated it reopening soon), which caused a hot mess of confusion since they didn't know if we should set up on the pool deck or upstairs in the gym. We ended up with half of our stuff upstairs and half downstairs which was a mini disaster...but it all turned out well in the end, especially since the ugly weather scared the general public away and we ended up having a completely private party...both pools all to ourselves!!!! Here are some of the pics. Our three kids are in the first pic: Sarah, Savannah and Brendan.

love the pictures!!!!! especially the cake ones LOL way too cute

 

[pinkygirl]

Nenner-looks like everyone had a great time. I don't think my sister would have been smiling in that last photo.

Some photos of Great Wolf Lodge as promised. By the way, the big yellow thing on Lydia's head is a headband that went with her Belle dress she got as a birthday present. She refused to go out without it on(luckily I talked her out of wearing the dress to breakfast).

We didn't get a lot of pictures of the water park since my camera isn't waterproof but I did run in on our way to breakfast and took a few.

Also, the lobby is beautiful. They have giant clock/tree that has characters that come out and do a show with singing and a story. It was pretty cool. We took the kids down in their pj's before bed to watch it.

All in all I would highly recommend the GWL. It was expensive for us, but cheap compared to a day at Disney.

wow that place looks so much fun!!!! thanks for sharing

First things first................ I want to extend a warm welcome to Annichan and her DH. We are all glad you have decided to join us.
Second, this is to DizzylandDeb...................after looking back to the first page where you have us'n all listed in the roll call. It seems I failed to mention our cabin number....................my bad............................. we will be staying in 6594. Even though this will be our 3rd cruise we are just as excited as if it was our first.
Well, I better get back to work. Talk to you again real soon.

LOL, as long as you aren't actually in 6634!

(that's ours!)

Anyhoo, annichan, our across the boat neighbors!

Lynn, we had the kids across the hall for the first time on our last cruise....it was awesome! They actually ended up a little too far away for our liking (our room got bumped two doors down so they were actually 50 feet down the hall) but it worked out fine, as they were well behaved and really only slept and showered in there anyway....and boy was it nice!

I sure do love to see that Friday countdown!

 

[pperfectmom]

Hooray for the Friday countdown!!! And welcome to all the new folks!
I can't believe how much time I spend thinking about this cruise when it is so far away.

Nenner-when do we get a new update on the TR?

We are going to the drive-in tonight to see Monsters Vs. Aliens and the new Night at the Museum. DH is putting our old futon mattress in the back of the truck along with sleeping bags for the kids and pillows from the couch. I went to the store and stocked up on junk food and now I just have to throw some beer and juice boxes in the cooler and we are ready for white trash Friday night.
