Hi everyone! I'm new here but I'm interested! I live in Florida and my daughter and I just started going to WDW all the time (got our annual passes for the first time ever!) I've planned a Disney Cruise for December for my daughter and I (plus my 72 year old mom!) and so far I haven't told them about it! I'm so excited I can hardly hold it in! Not sure when I'll tell them but both their birthdays are in August and close together...so not sure if I can wait until then to tell them? Smile I'm sure we'll want a 2nd soon after our December cruise so this would be perfect for my daughter and I!

Don't worry Zz, nothing has been decided so that's why nothing had been updated here

Since our favorite bag pipe group is no longer there, it would be easy to identify you if you wore your kilt! laugh

Hi all,

My name is Bella and I am a Disneyholic.

I hope I'm not late to the party. My husband and I would be interested in the cruise portion of the meet up. Who do we contact to add our names to the list?

A little about ourselves:
Jerry and I live in Jacksonville, Florida. We are about a 3 hours drive to either Port Canaveral or Kissimmee.
We prefer Disney cruising to the parks. However, if we did do a park our fave would be Epcot and AK. I like MK for the some of the rides. I like Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan, and Jungle Cruise. His is People Mover and Carousel of Progress.

I have bad motion sickness, so you don't see any fast roller coaster rides as part of my faves.

I have not been active on the page. I am more familiar with FaceBook. I put in a request to join the FaceBook page.

Bella

Hi Bella,
welcome

Robyn set up the Facebook page and she is on vacation right now but I am sure she will add you as soon as she can. We are waiting for Disney to release the cruise dates for October so nothing definite has been decided yet although mid-October seems to be the popular consensus as the best time for the cruise.

We will keep you posted on this thread.

Hey, Bella!

I also have problems with motion sickness, so tell me, how do you do on a cruise? I also avoid roller coasters and most thrill rides, bu have never done a cruise before, so I'm a little anxious.

Hi ,
I use the Transderm patch which goes behind your ear. It is prescription. I tried over the counter remedies like Dramamine even the non drowsy kind. All made me sleepy. I ended up sleeping the first 4 hours of my 1st cruise. With the Transderm patch, I have had no side effects. I know every body has a different effect. Some people do well just chewing ginger tabs or taking Dramamine, not me. You will enjoy your first Disney cruise. You may get hooked. I did.

Thanks Karli. I was just going to this but my power went out and had to reboot my laptop.

We are looking at the cruise leaving on Oct. 17. Does this work for everyone?

Looking at the calendar, the best time for my Fall 2016 vacation would be 10/15-25.

Those dates are what I am thinking as well. I will get a late flight back on 10/25 and take 10/26 off to recover.
