Sept 7th 10 night anyone else cruising?

[landmark]

Yes we are. Not only are we hooked on DCL, but we have done all the "firsts" and the 11 day is another first. We did the west bound repo for 14 days and stayed onboard for the first West coast 7 day cruise. You don't have to be crazy, but it helps. Alex

Wow! When we move to FL we plan to do more cruises as well. We really enjoy them. Now we still like to spend time at the parks as well and Kansas is a commute I hope that I can get a job where I can accumulate vacation quickly

Alex, I was wondering when you were going to join this thread - it is a FIRST! Can't wait to reminisce about the Panama Canal cruise with you!

I think there will be a lot more people joining our thread in a couple weeks. I heard DCL is offering a $500 onboard credit to anyone who books this cruise while on the eastbound Panama cruise (not sure if they are offering this on other cruises). We booked a cruise while on the westbound and then switched it to this one so I'm going to try to get the credit also. I'll let you all know if I'm successful. Oh, the things I could buy with a $500 credit! I'd have to take an extra large empty suitcase!

Hey guys
Where did everyone book through
Do they still give on board credits if you are a past cruiser
When we did are second cruise we got 100 and a duffle bag
I am just wondering are they just giving gifts now

We booked directly through Disney. Of course we were originally booked for the 9/17/06 4 night but changed to the 10 night when the Sept plans were changed. Yup... they had to twist my arm

What do you do if you want to rebook for the discount and credit but the cruise you want is too far away. For example we want to cruise in 2008 but they will not be booking that far in advance.

I hope that someone more techno-savvy can figure out how to link the bookings if members of this group want to link dinner reservations to sit in the same area for meals, whether that is early or late seating.

Hi everyone! Kimberly/landmark and I were chatting and thought it would be a good idea to create a new thread that had the very first post contain information about all the DIS events going on for this cruise. That way, whenever someone new joins we can just direct them to the very first post instead of having to repost certain things or have them searching the entire thread. I will also post a message whenever anything is added to the original post. We hope that is okay with everyone. Here is the link to the new thread - http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=9673680#post9673680Please begin posting to this thread.

Also, Kimberly came up with a great logo for our group, "How low can we go!" - I thought it was great and we have added it to the new thread name.

Bump to see if this is our long-lost first thread

I think this is it. Less than a year to go, my wife and I are excited!

Oh and I forgot. It will be me, DH, DD who will then be 14 (gasp!) and DS who will turn 8 on the ship.

One of our dd's will be 15 when we cruise the 10day & our son will be 8 by then. Our youngest dd will be 5.


We just booked yesterday. And we are thrilled because we were able to get a Cat 2!

We are going on our 1st cruise next month on the Wonder.

I will be the "keeper" of the cruise roster. So if everyone who joins in this thread will post their "crew" details and cabin type, I'll keep track. And I will add the new ones as they find this thread. Evntually I'll get together an e-mail group list for us.

Am I stepping on any toes volunteering for this?

That sounds like a plan!
We will be in a Cat 2 -- unless we can luck into a Cat 1!

Just got back from the 10/22 Magic cruise and we booked the 10 night. Yes they are giving $500 onboard credit for booking. We are in joining cat 9 on deck 2. Me, DH, DD 19, DS 13, DD 11, and DD 9. We did the Eastern last year, ended up Eastern again this year, so looking forward to the new Southern itinerary next year. So glad its on the Wonder too.

There is another, longer, thread about the 10nt on here somewhere....

We will be cruising with our 5 children -- 26ds, 23dd, 13dd, 8ds & 5dd.

The 3 youngest and dh & I will be in a Cat 1 - the Roy - and the older dc will be in a Cat 8. It is going to be so much FUN!!!!!!!!!

Hello, everyone!

I'm booked on this cruise too with my DS19 and DS13! I'm glad to see others with kids the same age!

WeLuvDisney All6ofUs--I noticed you've cruised since your DD out grew the Teens program (Stack/Aloft). How does she enjoy the cruises now? Is there much for those over 18, yet younger than 21 to do? This is the first cruise my oldest will sail since he turned 18. He usually has a blast with the teens, but now he's over the stated age. I'm worried he won't have fun. Ask you DD how she felt that first cruise at 18.

I found the first thread with all the planned activities. Cool...count us in too!Here is a website with some additional shore excursions. http://www.shoretrips.com/common/search2.asp?rcode=CAR
Has anyone had any experience with ShoreTrips? I understand lots of cruisers take these instead of the on-board offerings. Also, my DS is a SCUBA diver, if anyone is looking to do a dive excursion.

I can't wait to meet everyone!!!!

My wife and I are booked on the 10 night also- It seems there may be two threads on this cruise. We just did a 4 night Wonder March 5 with our 2 adult children and their spouses, but it's just the two of us on this one. Looking forward to it. We're also DVC members at BCV.

I just checked out the "double" thread for this cruise. There were no postings here between Dec of 2005 and March of 2006. The other thread is active. Please meet us over there. We are so ready for this cruise!
