We (me, DH, DD7 & DS4) are booked on this with my in-laws. Anyone joining us?

Hi HaileyBoo
We are tossing up between this one and the October 2nd one. At the moment though, this one works better for us with school holidays. We did out first DCL cruise this September which was a 7 night Western Caribbean. I'd love to do another Caribbean Cruise especially with Castaway Cay being our favourite port, but its so much cheaper for us to go to the West Coast.

Forgot to add that there will be Me, DH and my two dd's who will be 9 and 6 (nearly 7)

I have added a link to your thread on the main index page. Have a great cruise!

I hope you can go! Our DD's will be the same age, so that would be great! When we booked this I told my DH that we would miss Castaway Cay, but we are meeting my in-laws who live in CA & going together, so we're doing this one. We are actually cheaper to fly to FLA, but I'm hoping to get lucky with some decent flights. We'll see.

I am thinking of booking this cruise. What do all the DD and DH stand for? is that Disney Husband? It would be me , hubby and two kids, boy 12 girl almost 5. Got a price today $3102.92 secret porthole rooms. What do you think? This not not include transfer or insurance. We live 40 minutes from the port.

DH = Dear Hubby; DD = Dear Daughter.

Lucky that you live that close to the port. We are flying from MO. We paid around $2900 before insurance for a secret porthole room, but we booked it on our last cruise to get the 10% discount. Hope that helps.

We are thinking of booking this cruise too.

We live in Orange County and I love not having to book airfare. My boys are now in college and this will be just me, DH and DD 12. She was 4 on our first Disney cruise.

I'm wondering about the weather.

We are down to two dates: April 10 or Sept. 25. We want warm hot weather.

Does anyone have any opinions with regards to the weather in April vs. September? I would appreciate it

Not me, sorry. We've never cruised in April - only Sept/Oct/Nov.

Sept. 25, Mexican Riviera! This will be our first Disney Cruise. We are celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary.

Would love to meet fellow DIS

So excited

We'll be onboard when you all arrive since we are bringing it down from Vancouver. A 5-night cruise is too short so we're making it a 12-night cruise.

WE have a secret port hole too booked. I worried that we may not get upgraded from here. We are taking me DH DS (almost 12) DD (almost 4) both will have B-day on board.

The weather will be warmer in September. You have to think it just starting to warm up in April and it contiunes all summer. Wish we could go earlier in September. Went in June and Cabo was cold.

 

[staffieri]

We have decided to go for sure. Can't wait so excited. We do have the SPH room. I booked tow incase I can convince a family to come with us. As for now it will be me DH, DS (almost 12) andDD (almost 5). Can't wait to see what excursions Disney will do. Looking forward to hearing all your ideas and thoughts. YEAH!!!

Hello to everyone in this group. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Monica and I live in Mazatlan, Sinaloa Mexico. For anyone on a future Disney cruise to the Mexican Riviera, I am pleased to make myself available to you for any questions about the city of Mazatlan or country of Mexico.

As for myself, I am a resident of both the United States and of Mexico. I speak both English and Spanish fluently and I have sailed on DCL numerous times and have been a lifelong fan of Disney. Let me say right upfront, I am NOT selling anything nor am I affiliated with any business or tour company. I am only here to help and give honest information and opinions in an attempt to make your time in Mazatlan or Mexico a positive experience.

I hope that everyone will welcome me to the discussion and that I can be of assistance to anyone who has a question about my city or country. I will attempt to check the boards once per day, but should I miss a question, please do not hesitate to send me a private message. I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Gracias,
Monica

We may be joining you!!!! We are considering transferring our reservation from the WB TA on the Magic in 2011 to this one. Flights are just too expensive and cost-prohibitive for that cruise.

I have a price of $4200 for the 6 of us. That's good, right?

 

[staffieri]

MOnica,
Glad you are here to help. I am hoping to spend the day at a nice resort or beach. It will be my hubby son 12 and daughter 4. Any thoughts.

Nice to meet you Monica!!! I'm sure I'll have more questions as we get closer to our cruise date.

Well, we did it! We're officially on this cruise. We'll be driving out from MI and staying for a week in Phoenix with the in-laws. Then, driving out to LA. Anyone know where to stay in LA and get free parking? I need to put together a detailed budget!

Anyone have kids my kids' ages? They will be 15 - boy, 13 (almost 14) - boy, 11 (boy), and 5 (girl).

I'm SO psyched!!!

We are on the same cruise and we will fly to LA. If anyone has any suggestions on where to stay for one night before the cruise, we would love input. Thanks.

So glad your coming. My kids will be boy 11 almost 12 and girl 5. It would be fun if they can meet up. It will be their second Disney cruise. Not sure about hotel with parking. We live 30 minutes from the port. But if you have any sight seeing or Disneyland questions, I would be happy to help.
