Holy spreadsheets Batman!
Holy spreadsheets Batman!
We take our vacationing very, very seriously!! A few weeks ago there was even talk of someone putting together a powerpoint presentation! Seriously, though...we're gonna be on that ship for 2 full weeks and many of us have been planning this trip since the fall of 2008....so over-planning it is a way to keep ourselves busy and motivated and remind ourselves that we're going on the trip!
Don't let us scare ya though....you can choose to or not to participate in any of the crazy planning.....we don't judge!
And, in truth, Jason and I only do some of the more basic DIS stuff....so we do lanyards, we'll probably get the Tshirts, we do fish extender exchanges, we're going to attend the PJ breakfast at Lumiere's & we try to link up for dining with other DIS friends-----but beyond that we aren't doing all the tastings (neither of us drink), other get togethers, etc. and we're skipping Secret Mickey exchange (we have enough to carry over and back ) and we're doing all our excursions on our own.
(And I'm sure we don't put that much more planning into our DCL trips than lots of people put into their Gay Days trips! )
So, Michael (and Marc) you'll have to start booking all your cruises with us in the future!
As we were both working (Marc's now retired and, well, so am I now - retired sounds so much better than unemployed!) we could only do 4-day cruises so while there was DIS cruise-meet activity it never went to this level! LOL
Now that we're moving south of the border we're definitely going to be searching out those longer cruises!!!! LOTS of time on our hands!

I have really enjoyed reading this thread and have learned a lot. I am thinking about booking the 7 night Western Caribbean for me and my partner in Jan 2012 - and wasnt sure about travelling as a lesbian couple. But all concerns are gone and I cant wait for the bookings to open in the fall.
Just a general question - is it advisable to book the cruise as early as you can?
Thanks
I've just stumbled upon this website and thread and am so glad I did! I've completely enjoyed reading it and learning about others' positive experiences. My girlfriend and I are set to go on our very first solo cruise this October on the Magic and I was getting a little nervous as to how well we'd be recieved. The only other cruise we'd been on together so far was another Disney one (which was amazing) but it was part of a large party.
A general question, though ... are there any new(ish) forum boards for specific cruises or anything like that? The general one I found for the Oct. 16th sail date that I'm going on was already so well established!
Thanks.
So just from reading this thread, i see at least 3 gay couples on the back to back Repo/Alaska for next year. I'll eventually get onto that meet board too, as soon as everything settles down here.

Oh...Chris and Rob......how lovely to see you posting!! I know I suck at keeping in touch but we have been thinking about you.....especially as we continue our planning towards the Sept. cruise which, sadly, you wont' be on with us.
We love you and miss you, though....and we can't wait to see you on the repo and Alaskan cruise next year!!
