Hi PrettyInTink!!

Thanks for the warm welcome!
You are in for a treat with the CC gifts!

Have you gals ever been on a DCL cruise with DIS meet? I am going on the 11 day cruise in september and they do all of these really cool things like mickey ice cream bar eating contest, pajama breakfast, fish extender contest, pirate night group photo, group brunch in palo, the list goes on and on! They even have t-shirts made! If you are interested in doing something like this we have plenty of time to pull it together. They are also having meet and greets before the cruise at WDW or Port Canaveral area hotels. Search the meets for the September 17, 2006 11 day cruise meet and check out the 1st page, post 5 for the list of events that are going on.

If any are 1st time cruisers and have any ???'s please don't hesitate to ask. We know a little bit about DCL

Absolutely!! That would be so much fun, especially getting to meet other DISers! On my first cruise, me and my DBF got to meet a wonderful family from Scotland and we still chat today! I'll have to get on over to that meets thread to see. Thanks Tink!

Welcome to the Thread! Great to have you!

It sure looks like we are going to have a great bunch of Disers on our cruise!

Hey guys! We too are planning on going on this cruise! I haven't been on in a while and was signed up on the other thread. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1080405

But, I thought it was weird that there were no posts all summer, so I did a search and voilah! I found you guys!

We are from Missouri. I'm pregnant and due in 4 weeks, so the baby will be 11 months when we go. The other 2 kids will be 5 and 7 when we go. We have 2 connecting cabins, and I'm thinking about surprising grandma with a ticket to join us. Maybe for christmas? I haven't looked into the pricing to add her, but if we already have the cabin, it shouldn't be too much, should it?

Hi there!

I don't think I've seen that thread! Oops!

Congratulations on the new baby!
I wouldn't think it would be that much to add grandma to your trip since you already have the rooms booked but I'm not sure. Good luck with that!

HI...I will be on this cruise along with my sister. I am getting her this trip for her Christmas present this year. I just got off of the 11 night Southern Caribbean. It was my first cruise so this will be my second. My sister has never been on a cruise and we have always wanted to go on a Disney Cruise together. This will be a big surprise for her. I am so excited to be going again. Can't wait to meet everyone else!!

Awww what a wonderful sister you are!

So tell us, how was the 11 night Southern Caribbean?!? I hope you have a TR!

Welcome to the thread and I am so excited for this cruise as well!

Good for you! I cancelled 5020 last month, decided to go with a Cat 8 instead. We'll be onboard with DH and two boys 7 and 8. I just checked the Cat 8 price and its $300 more than beginning of Sept so its good we all booked early. I think the fact the Magic is missing in action in FL all summer will boost demand for the first Sept cruise.

I never thought of that- but I think you might be right!! Glad I booked early!! (Thanks to Jennifer48!)

I would add her now as prices only go up. I believe you can remove her at no charge up to 90 days out but you would want to look into that. With the nature of cruises rising in cost but also refundable, I like locking in a rate and changing if I need to. That's not to say the deposit is insignificant......
