No, didn't cruise this time last year, but FL had a really cold Feb and early March. The parents had ressie at WDW and cancelled them because it was too cold! We are going down a few days early for this trip so the kids can swim and stuff, just hoping for good weather. (Needless to say it will be better than Indiana!)

We cruised on the Wonder in Nov 08, and couldn't keep the boys out of the Oceaneers club. They actually ran away from us when we came to pick them up. We are keeping this cruise a secret from them until Christmas. Although I am not sure I can go that long without spilling the beans!

Our cruise was going to be a Christmas present too, but............. our 9yr old got the mail one day and saw the DCL stuff! UGG

 

[HerbieCart]

Ohhhh...yeah, guess we need to watch for that!

Welcome, glad you are joining us!!

I have been busy this week, picked up a few items for FE since it was a great deal, booked a few nights at disney while we are there, find a great condo to stay in after the cruise and started packing away summer clothing and hold stuff out of the cruise!!

Today I got an email from our congressman that they are processing our request for the Space center, it would be really cool if we got the tickets, the boys would love it!!

We can't wait until Feb, the boys enjoy watching the movie about the Dream and can't wait to set foot on it! Thankfully we have a few other vacations between now and Feb to help the time pass!!

I'm getting more and more excited for this cruise as it gets closer

 

[HerbieCart]

Can somebody explain the fish extender thing to me? We have only been on one other Disney cruise...knew about the door decorating, but didn't know about groups talking prior to the cruise.

The Pink thing is this picture below is a Fish Extender

For Fish extender, people can sign up if they want and what everyone does is gives gifts to each of the cabin doing it, you don't have to get something for everyone in the cabin for example on December cruise someone made all the cabins a christmas wreath, or some people give everyone gifts in the cabin for example on the cruise someone gave each person in the cabin a box on baked bean candies.

 

[DMMarla07860]

Hope everyone is doing well. So anyone else read about the show and dining times? Gets me more excited about the Dream

 

[NTOFD]

Only 20 more weeks to go.

 

[DMMarla07860]

hope everyone is doing well

 

[DMMarla07860]

Hope everyone is doing well, can't wait for the cruise

 

[DMMarla07860]

is everyone on this thread still going on the cruise? Not a talkative bunch you all are

 

[NTOFD]

I'm still going.

Countdown is at 125 days!

We're still going! We just finished up booking our airfare and finalizing some pre-trip plans. Now, if only Disney would offer a room only rate at Disney World! We are going to WDW after the cruise, but the price of the rooms are ridiculous. There are too many of us going to try to use a DVC rental, so we're just trying to wait it out and see if they end up offering something. They offer a discounted rate right now through Feb. 16, but we want to stay after the cruise, and the rate I'm getting for a moderate is around $250! Magic Kingdom has extended hours during our stay, so we definitely want to stay on site. Just hoping for some pixie dust!

 

[DMMarla07860]

Hope everyone is doing well

 

[DMMarla07860]

So, I'm off to Disney World till monday, hope everyone has a great weekend

 

[nettii]

Did anyone else give in to temptation and book the Fantasy? I just couldn't resist! I'm hoping to transfer my ressie once we're onboard in February to get the gold perks. We'll see how the prices are at that time though. Hope all is well. Sure can't wait for this cruise to hurry up and get here!
