Hi Karen.....full name is Mary Jane (42), DD18 is Keri, DD16 is Brian and DD13 is Allie. And yes we are travelling with 11 other friends and the whole group is from varying towns in the NY/NJ area.

Can't wait!!!!! This will be our 5th DCL cruise and and excitment is just as high as our first cruise!!! Spending the night before in the Radisson at the Port.

MJ

 

[Rikersmom]

Okay, now I'm confused--would you prefer to be called Mary Jane, or do you go by MJ? One of my best friends is MJ, although in her case it stands for Mary Jo.

--Karen

 

[mmouse37]

MJ is fine...most people call me that. Just wanted to state full name for the record!!!

MJ

 

[mmouse37]

let's keep this alive as we are travelling in just a few short weeks!!!!

I have to go buy my lime green ribbons!!

MJ

 

[lucky2]

Has anyone received their doc’s yet?

 

[cinbis]

Lime green ribbons....that's what I need to put on my shopping list!!! I'll tie it on my backpack/pocketbook.

I received our cruise documents two weeks ago (I think).

We're from Southern New Hampshire.....about 45 min. north of Boston. I'm Cindi, my husband is Peter, my boys are Alex and Corey.

We'll be staying at the Radisson the night before. I called and upgraded to a suite for $141 and that includes breakfast for 4 of us. I thought that seemed like a good deal.

 

[Rikersmom]

Hi, Cindi--Be sure to look for MJ and group--they plan to stay at the Radisson the night before also. I wasn't sure if Alex or Corey was older. Looking forward to meeting you. --Karen

 

[gobbi45]

Ellen, Gary, Jarrod 12 and Ian 3

 

[Rikersmom]

Welcome to the boards, gobbi45! Wow--did I read this right and we were your first post?

Have you been on the Disney cruise before? It sounds like we'll have a great bunch of people this cruise. Can't wait--Karen

 

[DISPOP]

Great job, Karen! I'm Skip, DW is Cindy, DD is Rebecca (5) and DS is Raymond (3).

We originally booked the Radisson then decided we wanted to add a little more "magical" time so took advantage of the Swan $99 pre cruise rate. We have PS at Chef Mickey's Fri evening.

We, like the rest of you, can't wait. The kids usually keep a count down calendar for WDW trips but this time they want to just be surprised on departure day. This will be our first DCL cruise.

Look forward to meeting you all

 

[gobbi45]

We were on the Magic last Feb. We are are from Southern NH and it is our vacation week. Looking forward to another excellent trip. Yes , this is my first post. Do I win a prize. We have been using the boards since last year. But I left the posting up to my wife. So here we are again.

 

[discastmember]

Wow Karen!
What a great job!
You've really been paying attention and I'm sure all of us Feb 23rd cruisers are glad you did.
It's nice to see names connected to the usernames we've all become accustomed to.
My name is Lisa and my husband is Drew. My DD is 18 and her name is JoAnna and my youngest DD is 7 and her name is Jessica.
My DS is Jason and he is 9.
I'm glad to see MJ also has a DD18 traveling with her. I hope they can meet.
My son only loves basketball and will probably be there more often than anywhere else.
My DD7 will love just about everything she does, so she's easy.

Lime green ribbon here I come!
Lisa

Gobbi45....I was wondering if there would be others from NH on the cruise as our vacation week seems to be different than most states. My older son, Alex, is 11 1/2. Are you staying at the Radisson the night before the cruise?

 

[mmouse37]

Karen...where are you staying the night before? At Radisson or are you flying in that morning.

MJ

 

[Rikersmom]

Hi, MJ--

We're flying in Thursday, and have two nights booked at the All Star Movies. Even though they are the least expensive, I love the All Star Resorts--especially the food courts. Why spend a lot on fancy meals when we are headed for the Magic?

I keep editing our cruise list. Hopefully, we'll all find each other.

--Karen

 

[mmouse37]

Would love to meet up with you at some time during cruise, as well as with the other DIS'er. I will be wearing my lime green ribbons at check in.

We are going to try and get there very early on the morning of the cruise.

MJ

 

[gobbi45]

Cindi.....this is Ellen, Gobbi45's wife. When we sailed last year, there were others from NH. We even ran into a family from our own town, which is Atkinson. We are not staying at the Radisson...we will be flying out of Manchester early Sat morning. That is a good idea though. Maybe we could work something out, since we havent recvd docs yet . Is your son planning on using the club?
Last year, my son didnt use it too much. Maybe he will meet up with your son and feel more comfortable. What town are you from?

 

[cinbis]

Hi Ellen-

I looked into changing our flights to meet up with my brother in Disney for a day, but it was going to cost at least $400 just to change our tickets!!!

We live in Londonderry.

My son is looking forward to using the club. Hopefully, he'll like it as much as he thinks he will! He would love to meet up with other boys his age. I mentioned your son to him yesterday. There is another family with a 12 year old going also (Lucky2). I think it would great if they could hook up....my boys always enjoy things more when they meet a friend!

I'm surprised you haven't received your cruise documents yet.

Do we all want to set up a place and time meet? Karen you seem to be good at coordinating all of this!!!

 

[cinbis]

I just reread the posts. Lucky2's older son is 10 not 12!
