Not only did we have a great time on the cruise, but we went to WDW for 3 days after and for the first time saw the Osborne lights. The holidays are a great time to be on Magic and in WDW so I will be looking to go back.

I will be traveling with my DH, DD(12) and DS (9)
and my best friend and her DH , DS(10) and DD (6) and her DH's brother. This will be our 5th (or 6th if we keep our ressie for the 9/7/06 cruise) DCL cruise and my best friends 1st.

I booked the first day it opened up and was lucky enough to get an SPR.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay? The current rate for a Cat 6 through DCL is over $7k for a family of 4, which is much more than we have ever paid. I am curious to see if the rates have increased that much in the last week or so since the dates were released.

Nope, our quote was 7000 too. Yikes... We really want to do one more cruise so I guess we'll have to pay the price. I did compare our May 2004 cruise price to May 2007. We paid $2800 for our May cruise in 2004. The same cruise which is the last cruise before the repo cruise is $6000. So, I'm not sure if the repo part drove the price up. But I'd say cruising prices have doubled. I've noticed the increase with other lines as well....

Jeff, Aren't the lights awesome? We have not been at Christmas in a few years, but one of my favorite things is taking a walk and looking at all of the lights. Of course, when we went, the lights were in the back on the fronts of all of the fake house fronts, where they used to shoot TV shows. I think I read where they put them in the New York area of Disney/MGM Studios?

We are not booked yet for Thanksgiving Turkey Cruise 2007. But are looking really hard. If our great Turkey friends of the past sign on, we would be REALLY interested!

I assume that this is still Western? In 2005 we were supposed to be Western, but only had CC X 2, and Costa Maya. Not the best lineup. I would love to return to Grand Cayman and Cozumel.

We too are REALLY looking into it. We will let you know.

Greetings all!

As Tonya said, we're looking into this one. We'll give it FAR more consideration if the Turkey Clan is willing to make a "stab" at this cruise.

We had originally planned to go to WDW and use our DVC points (that we've banked from last year, will bank this year, and borrow from '07) on a big "family" get-together. We provide the place to stay, they are responsible for park tickets, transportation & food kinda thing.

Doogie, if things work out and everyone (a "flock" of Turkeys) commit to this trip, we may require your expert advise as to the renting of more DVC points to defray some of the cost for this trip.

I am in agreement w/ Willie, I would really like the opportunity to see Grand Caymen (again - went in '84) and Couzmel. I know there is no guarantee w/ the weather, but I'd prefer not to go to Costa Maya again and depending on whether or not the boat races are happening again in Key West, that would be a nice stop (I was stationed there w/ the Army for a year and a half).

Otherwise, I hope everyone is happy & healthy!!

Hey All!

Lottery Update --- Nadda... When I priced this one out I think it was about 2K more than my April 2007 cruise.... boy I'd love to join ya's!!!

But I just don't think I could justify that much more!! But I can just keep on playing and perhaps my horse will come in!

O.K., O.k. it IS a long way away but I must say.......we will have to do this one also.....Turkeyday cruisers again!!

 

[WMILLER86]

Hopefully in 2007 my aged old back will still be able to boogie as a Bon Jovi!
I guess that gives me reason to keep in shape!

[LAMPSKIES]

Ya know as we get farther away from the last sailing....and the good times I keep wishing for it to happen all over again!!

 

[LAMPSKIES]

Looks like to book now it's a little less than 05........only costs 1000.00 to lock in the price......

 

[DOOGIERUNNER]

mmmmmm.... I wish it were an Eastern! Maybe we should get a HUGE group of repeaters on these boards that we could convice Disney to do a special T-day sailing!! Pikey will help us. I'm sure the Capt'n know's that we buy enough booze to pay the overhead on the ship for another week... and the crew LOVED Ronnie!

The price isn't that bad. It's only $300 more than we paid last year.

Where did you get a quote?

I got my quote from Mouseear Vacations. (PM me for their number) It was about 200-300 less than what I paid for the last t-day cruise. Even though they are the same price as the web cite, you get a few perks that makes it way worth going through a travel agent.

 

[Trey]

Willie,

Our travel agent quoted us the following:

CENSORED - please PM and I will disclose

This is right in step w/ the DCL site. Tonya seems to think that this is about 300 less than we paid last year as well.
