[honeybee723]

I noticed that no one had started a thread for this cruise, so I'm hoping we're not the only people on the ship

This is my 3rd Disney cruise, but my DH's first, and it will also be the first time for my DD who will be 8 months old when we sail.

Anyone else cruising with us???

We will be sharing the boat with you. This is will our first cruise and I am so excited!!

It will be me DH, and 2 DS age 11 and 8!!

Hi Melissa, hi Heidi -

DH and I will also be on board. It's DH's first ever cruise, and my first cruise with Disney. It still seems a long way away (especially since we've got a 1/2 marathon and a marathon between now and then!) but I'm starting to get excited that we'll finally limp up the gangplank in less than 3 months!

Hi Girls

You both are going to have a blast on this cruise, even if it is only 3 days. My DH and I have been on a couple of cruises, but I can't wait for him to experience his very first Disney cruise. Plus having our DD with us will be even more magical.

Sunstress - what marathon are you participating in? My SIL is running in the Philly half marathon in November, and was curious if it was the same one.

Sunstress-Are you running the goofy? I will be running the WDW 1/2 again this year.

Honeybee- This will be our 1st cruise ever and we are so excited. You will have a great time with your daughter. I have so enjoyed our vacations since having kids. It is great to see things thru their eyes!!

Are either of you doing any shore excursions? We are so up in the air as to signing up for anything.

[honeybee723]

We're not doing any excursions on this cruise. We've been to the Bahamas so many times, and we've always gone over to the Atlantis. This time I think we're just going to hang out on the ship and enjoy the pool with our DD. As for our Castaway Cay day, there are so many things to do there without even booking an excursion.

You can always sign up for your excursions when you board the ship, if you want to be spontaneous, but then you always run the risk of it being unavailable due to it filling up.

Good luck!

We're so slow, Heidi, that it may not appear to others that we're "running". But, yep, we're attempting our first Goofy!

As far as excursions go, I took DH on the Segway tour of DCA when we were down there for the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon in September and when he saw there was a Segway tour on Nassau he was really excited. So that'll be our only excursion. If you haven't ridden a Segway, yes, you DO look like an idiot, but it's really fun!

[heidi75]

You are a step above me. I would love to do the goofy someday. Right now don't have the courage to attempt the full, even though I really wanted to this year!! O well there is always next year. I should correct my wording, I will be run-walking the 1/2.

DH and I have been thinking about doing the Segway tour in Nassau. We did the Segway tour in Epcot a few years ago and loved it loved it!! Just makes me a little nervous leaving the kids on the boat while we are gone, even though I am sure they would be fine!!

When I cruised last year I was pregnant at the time, and I knew I would be bringing the baby on a Disney cruise at some point, so I took a tour of the facilities. They were incredible! Your little ones will definitely be in good hands. We saw so many kids that were so busy enjoying all of the activities that the didn't even want to hang out with their parents I'd be so sad, but I guess at the same time I would also be happy that they were having a blast.
