What are you looking forward to the most?

Just about everything. I can't wait to check out the changes to the Magic. Also, on our last cruise we had an inside handicapped room...and loved it! This time we're returning to having a verandah...looking forward to that, too.

So hubs has been talking about it and saying we should....tonight he just told me we are! Haven't bought our tickets yet, but will soon!

As a first time cruiser I am going to need a lot of hints and tricks. It will be my hubs and 6 yr old son. We are keeping it a surprise if we can up until we get on the ship!

I am actually dancing in my chair, squealing like a school girl!

 

[TwinPrincessMermaids]

I hope you can! Cruising Disney as your first cruise is going to spoil you on all other lines, for sure!

My husband just surprised me on Monday...he is taking me on this cruise for my 40th Birthday! It is my first cruise ever, and we are going with our daughter 6, and son who turns 4 the end of May. My cousin, and her husband will also be sailing along with their 7 year old daughter and 5 year old son. Any advice on what to do in Nassau would be greatly appreciated!

We will be on this trip! It will be a family vacation with my parents, sister and her husband, their kids (boy - 5 and girl - 4) and my DH, DS5, DS3, and DS2. It's my first cruise and I have been dying to do a Disney cruise, so I am super excited!!!

I also joined the Facebook group. We'd love to be a part of the FE group. And I'll definitely be looking for lots of advice in the next few months!! Can't wait for May 5!!!

Does anyone have tween boys that are coming this cruise? I know it can be hard to pull kids that age out of school, but maybe there are other homeschoolers or families that could make it work???
My sons will be almost 12 and almost 14.

Hi all! We just re-booked and will now be on this cruise. There will be 3 of us-my dh, ds, and me. (We have 3 other kids but as this is a graduation present for our oldest, they have to stay home!) We want to participate in the FE group. I think I figured out how to add us to the doc-let me know if I need to do anything else!

 

[carolinainmymind]

Officially adding our family to this thread. We've been booked for a few months but weren't sure the date was going to work for the entire family. I think we've finally sorted that it will ( knock on wood) and ready to start planning.

It'll be me, DH, DS (7) and DS (turns 5 on embarkation day...cinco de mayo baby).

Excited to meet everyone and maybe try this fish extender thing (just have to learn the rules

 

[mommy2chloentori]

We will be joining you all on this cruise also. This will be our third Disney cruise and second time on the magic. My kids love participating in the FE. Is everyone that's in here also on the FB FE list? I think I saw a few that were not. It will be Me(Carrie), Tony(DH), Chloe(DD7), Victoria(DD5), and Logan(DS1). His birthday is May 3rd so we'll celebrate his first on the ship!

 

[moviekid21]

Just set up reservations for this Cruise through DVC! Can't wait to check out the 'New' Magic!

It will be my second Disney Cruise and my friend's fourth. We've only been on the Dream.

We've never done Fish Extenders because we also booked very close to departure, so we're excited to do it this time as well!!

To sign up all we need is your room number or GTY. Then everyone's name/age/gender.

 

[Sophylulu]

Thank you for adding us to the group! This will be our first DC and we are all so excited! I have read that once you are in a FE group that you will be assigned a specific day and specific list of people. Is that how it works? My girls are super excited to get started on the gifts.
Thanks
Amy
