April 22, 2013 5-night out of Miami - The DIS Discussion Forums

tigger2on · 10-31-2012, 08:08 AM

Hi all...
Are we the only family booked on this cruise??

Just booked this one. Will be traveling as a single mom with 3 littles!
Madigan (8) Graiden (6) and Finnian (4).
We have friends who are also looking to join us...
Was hoping to get an FE started but it won't be much fun with only 1 cabin...

We are also on this cruise and have a 6 year old daughter. I will post this link in the Find Your Cruise master post.

Jenny522 · 01-26-2013, 09:00 AM

Me, DH, DD (15) and DS (13)

Third-time Wonder cruisers.

Me an my fiancé will b on this one too!!! It will be our honeymoon !!!!!!!

MCO mama · 01-28-2013, 08:33 PM

We're in, too! Me, DH, 5 year old DD. Not new to cruising, but new to DCL -- looking forward to it!

We are on this cruise, too. We sailed on the Dream last April & loved it so much we booked this 5 night for April 22.

There are 5 of us: 2 adults and 3 children (13-boy, 11-girl, 8-girl)

What excursions are you doing?

Right now we have booked Fury Catamaran in Cozumel and Rum Point Beach in Grand Cayman.

Last year our youngest was afraid at a dolphin excursion and that was a waste of $ so I am pretty certain she would not want to do anything with sting rays.

5forDis · 01-29-2013, 10:15 PM

Are you booking excursions through DCL (& if so which ones) or on your own (& if so which ones)???

Docmom · 01-30-2013, 01:53 PM

We're on too! DH, DD-10 and DD-8. Our first cruise as a family (hubby and I did Princess over a decade ago) and our first Disney Cruise! Totally excited. Can't book excursions until 2/6 but hoping to be able to get the Dolphin swim/turtle farm in GC and the de-barbed stingrays in Cozumel. Both girls are into animals, plus we homeschool so has that educational bonus

! And a dolphin interaction has been on my bucket list for years! How does the fish extender thing work? Also, want to do a couples massage and have girls go to the kids club. Do they give you an idea of their scheduled activities beforehand or just daily in the Navigator? I think they'd like the cooking one, PJ party and flubber.

Just booked this cruise last week. We will be celebrating my 40th birthday! It's our first Disney cruise (me, DH, DS-17 and DD-6) and I'm super excited to start planning and shopping for our trip. Would love to participate in a FE group!

Rudolph4 · 01-31-2013, 07:52 PM

We are on this cruise too! My DH and I took our first cruise 12/11 on Celebrity and can't wait to introduce our kids (DD 12 and DS 10) to cruising! We got the KSF deal so we are even more excited! Is this group going to do a meet-up?

You guys are the perfect match for us 😉Our kids are the same age!! Are you concerned at all about maybe sending your daughter to the nursery and son to the kids club? I wish my two could be together!

yes! very worried ;( Our travel agent who is a friend of ours said it may be possible for our little girl to go to the kids club since she is potty trained, but I'm not sure...I'm a terrible worry wart with her, but my son is very outgoing and gets along with anyone. We will have to get them together, I won't be so worried
