Hey 3LV!

We're close to you in family, but my dd will be 6 and my mom, not my late dad will be coming along too, but she will be only 75

Ok, we'll also have my other 2 DS's 2 and 8 by then.

Looking forward to a great time!

We made one big mistake though, we told our 7 and 5 year old kids about it and they keep talking about it. They are so 'Disney disney disney' we are getting Dizzy!

Actually ended up booking WDW for this November just to get a bit of sanity in the house. And no, we won't tell them till our Canadian Thanksgiving in Ocotober.

So, any new people on this board, DON"T TELL YOUR KIDS YET!

Interesting to note, though the trip is still a year and a half away, this thread is already 6 pages long! How long will it be by the time we take off?

Any other Canadians out there?

Please...torture is the word to use...My 12 yr old DD is reading the Passporter and feels the need to share EVERY tidbit she reads with me...She is making me CRAZY!!! I can't get anything done!
When I say something she says...You want me to read don't you?

3LVDisney is doing great. In fact, I (Andy) am visiting the New York offices of my company today and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it is about 100 feet away from the big World of Disney store . As soon as I finish my meetings here, I am on my way to check it out and get my "Disney Fix" which will need to last me until January when we are at WDW again.

Hey 3LV!

Gotta get that addiction fixed eh?

We're doing WDW on Nov 8 and already can't wait.

On another note, do you know if there is some kind of meet and greet on the ship for all posters on this forum? It would be nice to put a face to the names of you guys at the start of the cruise rather than finally meet on our last day.

Well, the NYC World of Disney is definitely a great place to go. It felt just like being at WDW . I even took a picture with Pluto and Minnie Mouse (yes, they have character meet and greets!). After visiting all 3 floors and buying lots of gifts, it was time to make my way home . I also did get a 10% discount on my purchases for being a annual pass member .

As for our official meet on the Magic, we have not set a time yet. When we sailed on the Wonder, our DIS group met at 3:00 pm on embarkation day in one of the open bar areas near the buffet. It was nice as everyone was on the ship, but some people could not make it as they were in the pool, exploring the ship, etc. Also, people left early to prep for the drill. If we do a meet on our trip (which I say we should), I would suggest we meet either earlier or possibly during the sail away event. Also, we should pick a DIS Group theme / name for our cruise and have someone coordinate either shirts (DIS Lime Green, of course) or buttons or something to that effect. Any suggestions from the group on meet times / themes? In addition, we could do a "secret santa" exchange or have everyone get the "fish holders" (the letter / gift exchange things you hang off the fish outside your door). And....we should all decorate our doors. We did this last time and it was great!

The NYC World of Disney sounds like a fun place to go. And you even got to see Minnie

We are getting excited here to go to Ft Wilderness in 3 weeks. We are going to be going to Magic Kingdom and Epcot. My dad passed away in early June and we are hoping to take my mom (if she agrees-she is not sure yet) to help take her mind off of things etc.

On our last cruise last Dec. We were suppose to wear the Dis Lime green and meet at the SailAway party. There were so many people up there that it was hard to really meet everyone and know whether or not they were wearing green because of the Dis boards or just wearing lime green. I definitely think that we should meet up before the sailaway party maybe at one of the lounges and those that aren't busy can show up and then maybe we can have another one the next day or something too.

I think namimg our cruise would be fun to do along with coordinating t-shirts and/or buttons. We just bought lime green shirts for our last cruise, but if someone is really artistic and creative maybe we could have someone make a design or button for our cruise.

I definitely want to do secret santa or fish extender exchange. That was a lot of fun on our last cruise. We also decorated our doors and that really helps add to the excitement of the cruise

Anyone else have any ideas or suggestions to this.

Hi everybody. We just booked this one. It will be our 7th DCL cruise (our sixth is comming up in September--I doubt I'll post much over here until after that cruise!). It will be myslef, Hadley (and I get to have my birthday on board!), my DH Dave, DD Marika (who will be turning 13 later that December ) and DS Rio (who will be turning 11 later that December). On our Transatlantic cruise last year we met some wonderful friends who we are sailing with again this September (one couple form Las Vegas, one couple form Rochester, NY and one family from Florida). This group has become some of my VERY best friends. I am hoping we can convince them to join on this cruise as well
I haven't told the kids we booked this one yet. When I eventually do I am sure they will pop onto the meet thread.
It is nice to meet you all
Hadley
