Hi fellow cruisers!
We're getting really excited as well. It's the first time cruising for all of us (me, husband and daughter 7). We're flying down on the 26th but staying with my in-laws for a few days prior to the cruise. We also rented with Budget at MCO but will be keeping the car for a full week to accomodate our trip to my in-laws, the cruise, and an extra day in Orlando before we fly home on 5/3. I also bought bonine and a set of Sea-Bands for each of us, just in case. None of us are really prone to motion sickness, but I figured I'd be safe. Sea-Bands are little wrist bands (they look like sweat bands) that you wear tight on each wrist. The inside of the band has a little hard plastic ball that, when positioned correctly, presses on an acupuncture point that relieves nausea. I wore them the first 1/3 of my pregnancy and they do work well.
Because my in-laws live so close to WDW, we go there at least twice a year. We were just there in October, so we're only doing the cruise this time. We expect to spend some time in Downtown Disney during our day after the cruise however.
I hope to meet some of you during the cruise!
