Thank you all for the kind welcome, yes it is my first cruise and I am a DVC member too!

I would love to check in with chats but I'm a newbie, so how do I do that, is it difficult?

Thanks again, Jill Ann Livingston,NJ

Jill Ann ... the chat isn't hard, but it can be overwhelming at times. Let us know if you want the info to sign up for the next one - it's Sunday at 8 PM.


Also, we have a Facebook group if you are on Facebook. We send reminders through there and such.


All these are just ways to get to know each other a little better before the cruise. I hope you can join us for some chatting. It's a lot of fun!!

Hi Jill Ann -

Sorry not to get here sooner to welcome you, my world currently is being run by work and I am not on the boards as much (just 3 or 4 times a day instead of every hour )

Here is the link to our cruise website.. you will find lots of information that pertains to our cruise in particular there..

Also, as Shell said join us for chat, its easy, you type we read and answer LOL... Sometimes it goes a little last but you will get use to that.

We've already made some great friendships and it will be awesome as get on the ship.

again, welcome!!!

Good morning all... We have slightly altered our arrival plans for the cruise...

We were feeling bad that we would be driving all the way to Florida and would be passing WDW to get to the port and not stopping. Kailynn in all her 23 years has never been near WDW or seen the castle, so yesterday when I realized Brian was off on the Wed, Thur and Friday (shift worker) before the cruise, I could take off, and John is retired and doesnt count , I called Kailynn and asked if she could get off one more day so we could drive down Wednesday... When she said yes, the plan was put into place.

So this morning I called DVD to see what may be available, knowing it was Halloween week and Food and Wine I really wasn't sure what I would find but I was able to get us a 1 bedroom at Old Key West , which I thought was great since we are going to Key West so anyway I booked the room and there we have it.

Now this does mean we will NOT be staying at the Radisson and using the shuttle services after all. We will have our car so we will just drive from WDW to the Port on Sat morning and pay to park there instead of paying for the hotel room at the Radisson. I know some will be mad at me but we are disney geeks here and we have all seen the castle, Kailynn hasn't please understand

Not sure yet about doing MNSSHP on the 29th.. We will have been in the car for at least 12 hours, and since we aren't sure when we will arrive (never know what 95 traffic will be like) we may skip it and grab dinner and relax, then hit MK for a full day on Friday to include wishes... MNSSHP is a blast but I hate when it is packed in there and it will be so crowded that night. I don't know we will see.. maybe I will buy tickets for Kailynn and Brian, they are young and have energy for those crowds

I am going to keep my Radisson reservation for a little longer just to make sure 100% that Kailynn got off work, then will let you guys know when I am canceling in case anyone needs the shuttle reservations we have at 10:00 am for 4 people.

More good news, John just called,, our cruise documents came and our new DVC book came (of course we are out of points now ).. It's certainly been a Disney day at our house

Congrats Kelly! We are at the World the whole week before, too. My parents have never been so we're treating them to a stay before the cruise.

We got our documents today, too. And our DVC book came last week so we've been spending our points for next year.

I won't be on the board for a week. We're on vacation in Virginia beginning Saturday for a week, and tomorrow looks to be a busier day at work. I look forward to "seeing" you all in a week. And I'll won't be on the chat until the 28th.

Renysmom,

I went to the website and looked around. I might be challenge but I did not find what exactly you need from me. I am assuming you need to now cabin # and how many in my party with names and ages. If this is wrong, please let me know.

I was glad to see the meet and greet at the Radisson because that is where we are staying. I guess it is a popular place to stay.

Hello all:

Just got off the phone with Southwest Airlines and they advised me that they will be opening up reservations for the period of 10/31 -1-15-10 on June 23.

Just an FYI if anyone was looking to book their flight down on the 31st or their return flights home after the cruise using Southwest Airlines.
