I was so excited to find out last night that not only is my Aunt Shelley coming on this cruise with us, now my Aunt Ellenor is coming too! Yay!! They are all booked

Melissa has always raved about Disney cruises. I am so excited that I get to come on this cruise with her and her family and my baby Sister, Shelley. I look forward to meeting everyone and know we will have a great cruise!

hi

Does anyone know would it be better to get two inside cabins or One family suite with veranda that sleeps 3-5 . I think its a cat 4 or something( room 7104)

The pull down bunk does have weight limit, I think 250lbs. The length of the pull down bunk could be an issue.

The Fantasy/Dream does not have beds that can be pulled apart to make two twin beds so sharing a bed could be an issue for some siblings.

On the Wonder this past fall, Sabrina slept on both the lower converted sofa and upper bunk ... she's 12 but already 5'7". She says she was perfectly comfortable and doesn't recall being scrunched. Maybe she was just too happy to notice the beds are short

I think it would be better to have the 2 cabins.... that way you have 2 bathrooms:goodvibe

Does everyone purchase insurance? Just wondering what I should do. This is only my second cruise.

Definite YES
We always carry trip insurance. We've had to use it once for DCL and once for a DL trip. It's nice to only worry about the reason the insurance kicked in (hurricane / gallbladder) vs. worrying about the money you're losing. There are more comments earlier in the thread.

GREAT!!! Check out post #1 and fill us in on what you want to share....names, ages and special celebrations

I'm keeping the FE list on first post, too. If you want to keep anything private, just send me that info, and I'll add it to the official FE participants spreadsheet
