Wow, this board has been busy!

Okay, to add some info for my family for the FE:
We are from NM. Our stateroom is 12506.

We are cool parents! School starts in early Aug here so they will be missing 4 days. Oh well. It would cost us twice as much to travel during school breaks, so its either they miss school or we miss taking a vacation. We switched cruises 3 times before settling on it being okay for them to miss school. At least its not a full week.

I think my kids would love to text with other cruisers their age. Joe, maybe Kelsey and Kaylei could get to know each other a little before hand. Will she go in Edge? My two youngest will be Edge aged, but at 11, I believe you can also go in the clubs? Is that right? What do the kids that age prefer? #newbies

I've never been to Palo's but people I've talked to have said it's a very nice experience. Can I ask How young is your father going to be?

He is in his 70s but if you ask him he is only 26 and staying!

Yes, you can go in the kids clubs, but not the vibe its for the teenagers and they have their own chaperones. Kaylei would love to chat with Kelsey!!! Yes Kaylei will go to the edge, but she may check out the Lab too. Probably to help out Buddie to get settled in.

We booked this cruise back in July when the dates opened up, but cancelled because everyone couldn't agree that's what we wanted to do. Things have turned around and I just rebooked. It is my families very first cruise!! Most of us are excited, lol! DS didn't want to give up days at the park to cruise (he doesn't like change), but he will LOVE it once we are there!! We are DVC members and will spend Saturday and Sunday night prior to the cruise at Villas of Wilderness Lodge. After the cruise we are planning to head to Boardwalk Villas until Sunday. That gives us a 4 day cruise and 5 park days!

Please add us to the FE list. It will be DH Terry-Goofy, DW Amanda-Donald, DS Caleb (13) Mickey, and DD Carly (11) Pluto

We will be staying in cabin #9652

 

[butsy113]

I just finished reading the entire thread and I realize that you've closed the first group I hope more people sign up! I am really hoping to have other children similar ages to my kids in our group. Will you take that into account when dividing groups?

Maybe we can squeeze her in on account of her kids ages?

 

[sillecruisers]

With that said, I have no authority whatsoever to say that. I'm sure lots more people will join in. FE or not, we can still bond here and meet once we're on the ship.

I agree, The group needed more kids of this age group. We do have 2 groups with just Adults only in our group. Put up for Vote??? We need everyone's input What do you say??

That works for me With that being said I'm really having to put some effort in this group.... With my DS being so young I have NO CLUE what this age group is interested in!!!

I agree too, We should have extra gifts anyway because say only 7-8 more family's join are they going to be a group or are they going to come into group #1? Do we set deadline dates?? Thoughts???
