Lisa sounds like you'll have a very busy summer. Have fun with your travels.


I'm thinking about how we can all meet the day we board. Since I've never cruised before I have no idea what would be a good place to meet. I would rather do it the first day but don't know where to do it. Where do you all think is the best place and time?

The first day is always a hectic day... however, a lot of people will meet at the sail-away party up on deck or shortly after.

I guess that's what I was thinking. If we meet early, we'll be know each other and maybe the kids will make some connection.

What's up on deck that we could meet at? I was thinking we would go to deck 10 for the Sail Away Party. My kids are older and really aren't into the dancing, but want to see it all happen.

What about just in front of the basketball court by the entrance to the inside where you take the elevators. There is a seating area around there! What do you think?

OK sounds alright to me. I don't know anything about the ship so lets go for it.
What time is best? Then we will have a time and place. Maybe put it in the first post so everyone that joins us will see it.

Ok... so you guys wanted to know what was still available...

Cabanas 3,4,5,6,9,11,12 and 19 on Serenity Bay

There are still several Palo reservations open for both Dinner and Brunch...

Here's the IMPORTANT PART my disboards friends.... You can book after Midnight (Eastern time) on the open date! At least I booked at 12:30AM. On the Walt Disney World site you have to wait until 6am and here... you can book after midnight! So stay up and get to it! Good luck! Let me know what you get!!

105 DAYS!

Yay! Thanks for letting us know. Every piece of info is important.
But I'm confused about what site we book on at midnight. I had read to sign in at midnight on the DCL site and book from there. Also I read that you can't book your arrival time until 7am. Just trying to get my thoughts together.

Is everyone leaving on Friday?

We are. Arriving about 2:50pm and staying at Country Inn & Suites. Using Spaceport Transport to get there. Probably just doing dinner at McDonald or some place simple.

I can't decide where to stay the night before our cruise?? Should I stick to what I know and stay at a Disney hotel or stay at a hotel in Cocoa Beach?? Is there stuff to do around the port??
