So you aren't taking a cruise that combines a stay at the WDW resort?momeja wrote:We booked a Disneycruise to celebrate my MIL's 80th in Nov. 2012. We're looking forward to it, although I'll miss not being in the World. Can't do both, though, even with 2 incomes.

Re: Why should I take a Disney Cruise?
We're doing a 7 day cruise, which basically eats our budget up.  We could have done the 4 day cruise with WDW time, but we realized that my MIL isn't up for a transition like that.  We're hoping to tack on a day at Disney at the end, though.  My fingers are crossed!

Re: Why should I take a Disney Cruise?
That is nice to think of how the transition would affect your MIL. 80 is a big birthday. I'm sure she would love a day at Disney thoughmomeja wrote:We're doing a 7 day cruise, which basically eats our budget up.

I hope you are going to come back and tell us all about it.

I'll certainly try - assuming I finish that first trip report I promised everyone I'd write.figmentaholic wrote:momeja wrote:We booked a Disneycruise to celebrate my MIL's 80th in Nov. 2012.

Re: Why should I take a Disney Cruise?
Yes, I went on a 4 day Bahamian cruise on the Wonder. This is my first 7 day Magic cruise, I'm pretty pumped about the extra 3 days.Amy wrote:Nice ~ have you gone on a cruise before?northernmousefan2007 wrote:My cruise is coming up November 5th.

Re: Why should I take a Disney Cruise?
I hope you will do a trip report when you get back. F1gment loves to cruise and has been on two before, but never Disney. And I've never been on a Disney cruise either.northernmousefan2007 wrote:Yes, I went on a 4 day Bahamian cruise on the Wonder.

It will most likely be a video report, I just got a HD sony handycam to record the trip!

Re: Why should I take a Disney Cruise?
I have a 4 year old nephew and a 2.5 year old niece (and now, apparently they have another on the way.. man..) and they were originally talking about taking them on a Disney Cruise soon.. but to be honest since there is baby coming, that may change things a lot.. 
I know it is self centered to say so, but I hope we still find a way to do it.. I dont think I will ever convince my mom or my hubby to go on a Disney cruise with me and I dont wanna go on one by myself, so my nephew and niece are my best chance.. (and getting to spend almost a week with them, being a big kid too? that would be awesome.

Re: Why should I take a Disney Cruise?
That does sound like fun. Even if you have to wait a year or so for the baby to get a few years older, the others will still be little and fun to play with...figmentaholic wrote:I have a 4 year old nephew and a 2.5 year old niece (and now, apparently they have another on the way.. man..) and they were originally talking about taking them on a Disney Cruise soon.. but to be honest since there is baby coming, that may change things a lot..
