Hi everyone,
OK, I am ready to thinking about the cruise. I didn't see anyone post about the B2B cruises. How many people are doing the B2B? I read somewhere that you do have to get off the ship, and clear customs, and then you can get back on the boat in about an hour or so-is this correct? We get to keep the same cabin , so that will save a lot of trouble.
As far as info about myself: On the cruise will be me (53) and my DH (61). Someone keeps changing those numbers on me every year . Our children are of the 4-legged variety..2 adorable longhaired miniature dachshunds named Katie and Allie. This is our 3rd cruise with Disney. We have main dining, and will be in cabin 7400.....Vicki

So far no DISers have listed their ages on the first post, so I left that off for you too. If you WANT it there, I can add it any time. Let me know.

You are the first to specify dinner seating so I added that. Perhaps others will want to do that also.

I have put an asterisk in front of the entry of all the posters so far. That way we can easily see who we have and have not heard from.

To everyone: check to see what info is included in post one for others and that your entry is right. Let me know if you have additions or changes.

Also--any photos you want included in post two--post them here for me to move.

THANKS!

Jan

Okay if you want to be thorns it's up to you I don't know how Cheri feels, but personally, I'd rather be a gerbera daisy or perhaps a snapdragon!

We have 2nd seating for dinner with a request for 8pm, but won't know for sure til we get on the ship and see our dinner tickets..

We will be cruising with friends & their family.. We have a total of 6 adults and 4 kids.. 2 adults & 1 kid are 1st time cruisers.. so like the rest of us, they will be spoiled forever by DCL over all other cruiselines..

Our son, will be in his 2nd year of college and not able to Cruise with us

We have not planned any excursions just yet but we are planning on checking them out over the weekend and discussing them..

We are going to try to get Palo for dinner and I have no hopes of a High Tea, since this will be our 10th DCL cruise and never have be fortunate enough to get a Tea reservation..

If there is a FE exchange.. I will participate.. If everyone is going to be too busy then that's fine too..

[ibouncetoo]

Here's a little background info on our cruise.

We are celebrating Peggy's (TiggersPal) 50th birthday on this cruise. All four of the siblings agreed to spend their 50th birthdays together, and now 'the baby' hits 50! Her DH, Jose also turn 50 this year and I turn 60 , plus, I do believe it is their 10th anniversary also. So lots of celebrating going on. My cabin-mate will be our big sister, Dianne and brother Paul and his DF Jill will be rounding out the group. Jose, Dianne and Jill have never cruised before. Paul has, just not on DCL and this will be Peg's third DCL cruise and my fifth!

I'll also be making my 10th visit to WDW the week before the cruise...playing with our cruise-mates Ian and Sukie and Cheri (Iankh & NotSoLittleMermaid). I think Peg & Jose will stay a while after the cruise to go to Cape Canaveral and Epcot...I'll try and convience them to do the Epcot part BEFORE the cruise, though.

We will be at a family table for dining, but I know who to contact to try and arrange for all of us in late dining to have the same rotation. So those of you who are going to link dining, once your tables are made, I can turn all the info over to DCL and we can try to have our tables clustered together in the same rotation (I vote for 8PM)!

OK....I'm going to go hunt down Cheri now!

I'm just starting to rev up. I've only come to grips with our holiday in May!

Got you Marilyn--note asterisk in front of your info in post 1.

Is LATE DINING the same as 2nd SEATING? I need to get consistent here but am confused.

I also posted FE for pfishgirl as she mentioned it so anyone interested in Fish Extender Gifting please post and I will add FE to the back of your entry on page 1 so there is one master list.

I put BTB for those I think are going on this cruise and the Western that follows. If I got you wrong, let me know--either marked in error or not posted yet.

I think I heard that BTB cruisers do not have to disembark but that may have changed.

Off to work---

Thanks Jan.

Not sure about the late dining/2nd seating question, though I guess it means the same.

Yes, we are doing B2B at the moment. I believe B2B cruisers are escorted off the ship after everyone else has disembarked, then they check in again and get a chance to take photos of the empty terminal, and are back onboard within an hour. Hopefully I will do my laundry that day!

Yes, I believe Late & 2nd is the same thing.. If not, I apologize. We have the 2nd seating for dinner. I requested 8pm, since we will have 4 kids in our group aged 5 - 15.

No, we are sadly Not doing the B2B anymore I wish we were I was so excited it would of been our 1st B2B. But, I was told you Do Have to get Off the ship and all that, but, within an hour or two you're back on the ship

Checking in!

Thanks for making this 2nd thread Jan!

We have requested late dining and will be celebrating our honeymoon on this cruise

Here is a current photo from our Dec WDW trip at AKL:

[rotary2808]

Our info is correct, but you can add that we're in 8016, we have 1st seating for dinner and I'm also interested in FE. If I left out anything I'll let you know.

[CustardTart]

Hello all! Glad I found you and thanks for creating this streamlined second thread, Jan...

Just checked our entry on post 1 and would like to add that we are celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary, have late dining and are in 8602...
