Hi all, sorry its been a while - but retructure at work and long days and long hours.

Anyways we still coming on the cruise and I was reading through all the posts I had missed today to find "Jules1962" had joined - julie didnt know I was part of this thread and decided to join too lol she is now listed going on the cruise twice! i know its her birthday but she can only be counted once!

Jen can you take her off the website please? Which i think is fab. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

we have decided to hire a car and drive to the port from OKW resort as the bus wont get us there until late and we want to explore!

Aww man! I liked having her twice! LOL She has been removed. I admire those that are brave enough to travel alone AND join a discussion board that meets on the cruise! I was very enamored with the idea that she was coming by herself (that was what I was thinking since she didnt leave any info on anyone coming with her). We had a girl that traveled by herself on our last cruise. I thought she was so cool for doing that! I dont know if I would enjoy it.

Good to see you again! I hope you post more soon!

Did anyone see the new itinerary? WOW!! New York City! And Hawaii? I just wish they scheduled more than one trip there. 15 days <sigh> Then you could stop by DisneyLand, which I have never been HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE?!!?!?

I was hoping for a Bermuda trip from NY....

Is anyone else spending a few days at WDW before the cruise?

Probably not this time because I'm already taking my daughter out for a week of school (well 4 days considering they are out for MLK day), and I don't want to take her out anymore.

Yes we arrive 31st December and stay until the cruise - longer trips for us as we from the UK and its a long way tp travel.

Hello everyone! We just booked so I thought I'd come on and introduce us! My name is Laura and my husband is Justin. I am pregnant with our first - a little boy. He is due end of July-beg of august. I'm so excited he'll be about 5-6 months old when we cruise. This is my third Disney cruise but both of the others I was a teenager for so it's kind of my first "grown up" cruise. We are traveling with my family most of which has cruised before. This will be Justins first cruise though. Here is our party and ages at cruise time:

Justin - hubby - celebrating his 23rd on board
Laura - me - 22
Baby boy - 5-6 months

Steven - my dad - late 40s
Whitney - my mom - late 40s
Annie - my sister - 18
Caroline - my sister - 15

Jeana - my godmother - early 40s
Kenny - my godfather - 50

We're all staying on deck 5. Too bad we didnt know about the party on deck 7! We have early dining because we didnt like eating so late last time. We'll definitely have to catch up with y'all elsewhere though. We are so thrilled to have actually booked our cruise. It makes it so real! I can't wait to meet all of you

Thanks for the welcome everyone! And Jen, the website looks awesome!

We have decided to do B2B cruises, so we'll be onboard the Magic for the week of the 7th as well! Before that, we're going to be in Disney for a few days-- its our plan to run in the half marathon right before the cruise on the 7th, so we'll be in Disney at least long enough for that!

I am so excited for the chance to have a longer vacation (although not quite as long as it starting on the 31st! . Its been a very long road through graduate school and as I begin to see the light at the end of that tunnel, I'm getting so excited for the cruise!

I wasn't planning on it but if too many people start talking of it, my mind might be changed..... Oh and if my money tree has a good crop this year.

Wow... That is too cool. I almost talked my hubby into trying for a baby a year before our last trip... he tried using the trip as an excuse. lol I already had a babysitter set up but it was still no go. Sounds like you all will have a crazy great time.

Hello!
The only TA that I know of that gives OBC is Dreams Unlimited. My DD is 9 and will be 10 on board! YAY! She seems to get alone with boys more than girls so she will be excited. Do you think we should start a thread for the kids?

 

[JenGC]

Oh and WELCOME! so now you gotta book! hehehe

 

[momster24]

A thread for the kids would be so cool!

I saw this TA called Smart cruiser.com that gives $50 for every $500. I might need To check them out.

[Sue (mom of 3 boys!)]

Our TA at the magic for less dot com also gives OBC

Welcome to our group! We started out strong but have fizzled a bit. As the cruise gets closer I'm sure we'll all get revved up again!!

Hi dawn! I'm pretty new too, but welcome just the same. My hubby and I were just discussing it last night. It seems far away but it will be here before we know it. It's nice to get to hear others who will be there with us!

 

[momster24]

So nice for the welcomes! Thank you. I hope time flies until January! Then just as we board... It goes reallllll slowwwww!!

 

[-Cinderella-]

Definitely!

 

[SullyMonster]

Just paid our deposit for Magic Jan 14-21st! w00t! Stateroom 7064.

It's going to be hard to keep this quiet from the kids till x-mas time!

 

[momster24]

Congrats Sullymonster. I have still not put my deposit down yet. I can't decide on the 7 day magic or the 4 night dream. My son thinks he wlll have more fun on the dream because of the new play area. I told him if he meets kids his Own age he can have just as much fun. He Will be 9 this tuesday. I think my hubby wants dream too for the aquaduck.I have never done a 7 nighter and would think it would be great. I was also waiting To see if any guarantee cabins open up.
