Sept 25, 2011 Wonder - Mexican Riviera

[staffieri]

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.

Glad that you will be coming on the cruise. I will try to think of a hotel spot for you.

Wanted to introduce myself to all who will be cruising this week. I'm Kimberly And I live about 30 minutes from the port and I'm an AP holder for Disneyland. I live in Huntington Beach. So I do know the area pretty well if you have questions. Long Beach port is a great place to do some sight seeing before hand. Also if your traveling as a family there is a great Dockside bed and breakfast. You sleep on beautiful boats that sleep 6 and you look right out at the Queen Mary. Let me know if I can help in the location department. Looking forward to a great vacation.

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.

Thank you Staffieri!

I am so sad that Disney offer for "kids sail FREE" does not include us. I was more dates. I am thinking about switching to March 20th. I put a hold on a cabin. But I want September. Such better weather. I wish I knew if Disney would include us. We will probably pay our final payment and then it will be offered. What to do.

So Silly I can't even figure out my kids ages for this trip. My tow will both celebrate their birthday on this trip. Ds will turn 13 and DD will turn 5.

My mother dd18 and I just booked this cruise.

I changed my reservation today. We aren't going to be able to go on this cruise because they are changing the school schedules here from year round to traditional next year, so the kids will not be out of school this week. Have fun!

 

[Super*Mum]

We will be there! Myself and my DS who will be 10 by then. I have never booked a trip so early! I have no idea what I am going to do with myself for the next 14 months. By the time the cruise rolls around I will be twitching from all my pent up excitement. Maybe this is why I don't book until the last minute, it's not procrastination... it's instant gratification!

My first Disney Cruise! (4th cruise though)

 

[Super*Mum]

Well... found something to do since I booked the trip two weeks ago.... spend more money!

I purchased a super cute fish extender from Etsy and put $100 onboard credit on our reservation. I figured that whenever I have extra money I am just going to call DCL and have them add more $$$ to my onboard account. This way at the end of the 7 day cruise I won't when I see the bill.

Glad your coming. Love the idea!! Hoping to use my Disney Reward points for credit on the ship.

Just added this cruise as a continuation of the 5-night repo from Vancouver to Los Angeles. We are Michael and Marc, US expats currently living in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. At the end of the cruise will be our first chance to head back to D'land for a few days since we left L.A. this past July!

HI everyone......We are pretty sure we are transferring another reservation to this cruise! I am excited. Have been looking for hotels to stay at near Disneyland pre-cruise for a couple nights. Going to try and book the Grand Californian in February with points, but not holding my breath on availability.

I already know a few of you and hope to get to know the rest of you over the next few months.

My travel party will include.....

Myself - Pam
DH - Mike
DD - Katrina
DD - Leissa
Dsil - Charlie


I will let you know when it becomes official....

So glad you will be on THIS cruise. Can't wait I think it will be amazing. Thought of doing the 5 night cruise too. So jealous. Just can't take the kids out that long.
I live in Huntington Beach California so only about 45 minutes form the port.
Again it will be me and DS 12, DD 5 , and its a toss between bringing my mom or hubby. We will see if hubby can get work off.

LESS THEN A YEAR AWAY NOW!!!!!
