I have added your thread to the cruise meet list

 

[JackaroosMom]

We are also booked on this cruise! It will be myself (Laurie), DH (Dean) and DS (Jack) who will be 8 at that time. We are cruising with a large (and growing) group of friends/neighbors/family. We just returned from a B2B on the Dream and rebooked for the Fantasy while onboard. This will be our 4th DCL cruise.

Funny enough, we live in Woodstock, GA so we are neighbors! Gotta love the Cherokee County Fall and Winter Breaks!

I don't post on here a lot but do check in from time to time. It's a long way off but looking forward to seeing this Meets Group grow!

Hey back at you neighbor! We love the school schedule as well! I am Sue, DH is Glenn. Stephen will be 15 and Becca will be 8 when we cruise. Glenn and I will be celebrating our 20th mid cruise.

This will be our 4th DCL cruise, last year we were on the WBTA in September. Our meet thread was in part 10 before we set sail... I am hoping to get some of last years group on this trip as well! Last years group was great - and we did a LOT of everything! From FE's to candy swaps to DIS only Tastings to T-Shirts. It was a riot!!

I hope that this groups grows soon so I have people to plan with!

Welcome aboard! We booked our "dummy date" while on the WBTA last year, and moved it to the Fantasy as soon as our TA had the info! It is painful to look at the DCL site - over 500 days until we set sail...

I see you are sailing on the carnival dream for fall break, have you been on that ship before? I've been kicking myself for not booking the Disney Dream when we were onboard and now the prices for that week of off the charts for me...still kindof hoping for a GTY status to show up

We are planning to head to the world during that break but I wanted to do a 3 day cruise too. Trying to talk my family into sailing on the carnival dream, not going over very well

i see you are going to WDW for Spring Break too... I am still on the fence about going, I really don't like to go when it's crowded. Been spoiled by going in September lol.

We haven't saild Carnival as a family yet. I sailed with them back in 81 or 82 - it was a nightmare! The Miami taxi drivers were on stike and the dock workers walked out in support of them... We ended up boarding, got into our cabin but never got luggage. They did dinner in port, andthen herded us off like cattle to hotels. I am hoping that September 2011 is a better experience! The price on the Cove Balcony was great, so we thought we would give it a go.

We haven't done the parks in a couple years, so we are braving the crowds. I too have gotten used to September break, so I may go into shock... If you decide to brave the crowd risk with us, let me know! We can do the first pre cruise meet!

Hello! My family and I are also booked on this cruise. We booked at the same time as Jackaroo's Mom (my close friend and next door neighbor - LOL!). As Laurie mentioned, we are part of a group that is growing! For us, it's me (Monica), DH (Pat, Sr.), DS (Patrick, Jr. - will be 12 almost 13 at cruise time) and DD (Gabrielle - who will be 9 almost 10 at cruise time). We cannot wait to see the Fantasy and wonder what changes they will make from the Dream! It will be our 7th DCL cruise.

Looking forward to getting know our fellow Cherokee County cruisers and other DIS Group members

Welcome neighbor!! Looks to be a Cherokee County cruise!!! I will start a roll call at some point this week, and will edit post #1 to reflect what I will be collecting, FE's etc.

Have a great week everyone!!

 

[su_kraft]

Anyone else joining in the fun??

 

[su_kraft]

Countdown to summer has begun here... 11 more days of school and the kids are out. This time next year I am sure we will be a bit more excited...

Anyone new join us yet?

 

[MagicMe]

Okay, I originally booked the 5-day NYC in July 2012 for my Mom and me as there was supposed to be additional family members cruising but everyone else decided not to go. So, I'm looking at canceling that cruise and just booking solo on this cruise. I've cruised with Sue and the gang on the WBTA last year.

I'll probably book this cruise while on my Alaska cruise in August (want that 10% discount and OBC). I've also booked the September 22 Fantasy cruise (which I'll probably look to re-shop in August) so I'm basically looking at cruising back to back.

WOHOOOOOO!!!! Now we just need to get the rest of "the other group" to move... Something about Football and cheer - which I get... We are missing stuff being gone too... (Just not missing school...) I promised not to bug Kimmmmmmmmmberrrrrrrlyyyyyyyy though... Maybe I need to focus elsewhere and help get Amy working so they can come....

Do I sense 2 tastings in our future??? Can you say Mojito?

 

[su_kraft]

Bumping us up on the list...

Anyone else joining yet?

Really looking forward to this trip, and while it is a year out I am already planning things... For the sea days I would love to do a DIS tasting if we get a group that is interested. On the 2010 WBTA we did 8 DIS tastings and they were great! They even did a brand new one - Mojitos... So, I am willing to set that up if others are interested! I will say that it was a lot of fun to do tastings with a group of folks you were getting to know!

Other things to plan are a FE, a postcard swap, scrapbook swap, etc... Please let me know if there is anything else!!

More later,

Sue


PS - Mel - is this the Sue you remember??? LOL!!!

 

[MagicMe]

Mel - is this the Sue you remember??? LOL!!!

Nobody organizes better than you!!! We had such an unbelievable awesome time on the WBTA thanks to your efforts in organizing and helping to coordinate special activities. You know I'll be there for the tastings!

You can lay claim to organizing the first mojito tasting!!! I understand from seeing some trip reports that they've added it to the tastings they currently offer!

You know I'll help with anything you need me to. Can't wait to sail with you guys again!

Awwweeee! Thanks!! I love doing it and now that I am in the business I am happy to hear I am good at it!

Well, no one can beat the Mojito tasting that Benjamin did for us! That Raspberry one was DELISH!!! Remember they had to ask for a volunteer to lead that one? Man, I wouldn't mind having one of those raspberry ones right now... Benjamin moved to the Dream - maybe he woill move to the Fantasy? (I need him, Maricar and Lynda at a minamum...)

I know you will help out! I actually haven't started any real planning as yet - but it is almost that time... I am guessing that we won't do shirts, lanyards an all that with this just being 7 days... But, say the word and I will do it! I actually have a place for lanyards, and if we are doing shirts I would rather do a polo with a logo... OMG - I need a cruise logo... There is something... (Crap - my pirate gear is too big now, the 30 lbs I lost are costing me...)

Mel - anyone else we can get to sail this week? I have my fingers crossed for Amy finding a "real job" so I can try and twist her and Daves arms...

 

[su_kraft]

OK - we are just over a year now... Well, a year and 60ish days... Anyone else onboard yet? I am going through withdrawl...

I'm extremely lucky for the moment. I'm currently on a scrapbook weekend where I am still trying to complete my scrapbooks (yes that's right, way too many pictures for one scrapbook) on my 2010 WBTA. AND, I'm leaving two weeks from tomorrow to head to Vancouver and board the Disney Wonder on the 9th!! BUT, I'm still looking forward to meeting up with old and new friends on this cruise too!!!!

Mel,

I am just about done with my 100 page book from the WBTA... I have a couple last changes... Then I can PDF and abuse Kimberly as my proof reader...

Once she says I don't have any blatent typos I am sending it to be pronted... I will bring it so you can see... I will hopefully be done with that one so I can start a little one for our September cruise this year... (not DCL... )

I have just about given up on standard books - I have one to do for WDW, but after that one I am all digital and printed... I may bring you all my leftovers... I went a bit crazy with the huge Joannes sale before the WBTA...
