| Pre-trip report for Family Reunion Cruise on Oct 24th! In December of 2007, my wife and I went on our 4th cruise with Disney...we're DVC members and make sure to take a vacation every year. After the cruise, we were talking about how nice it would be if some of our family members could have been on it. After more discussion, we did some math, and realized that if we sacrificed vacations in 2008 and 2010, we could bring our families on board with us for a 7 night cruise. There would be some minor costs to a couple of family members, but not much...certainly not enough justifying saying no!!!!! So we put the feelers out to the families, and as expected, got everyone "on board" with the idea (pun intended!). So, in January of this year, I hopped on the phone with DVC and made the reservations. The culprits: Myself, DW, and 11 month old DD. My sister, and her 2 year old DS. My mom and dad. My DW's mom and her boyfriend. DW's brother, his DW, and their 3 DS's aged 8, 5, and 2. On my side, this is their first cruise of any kind, and they are both nervous and exited. For my DW's family, this is their second, but haven't been in over 5 years. Yesterday, we received our official cruise doc's in the mail, and it finally hit home with everyone. We're cruising on Disney Cruise Line in 22 days!!!!!

So, we're kinda feeling a bit guilty since we're in a Cat 6, and everyone else is in a 10, but how could we say no?

| your lucky you could get connecting rooms. When we tried to get them, they were all full! They said they could GTY us. If figured save the points. go Cat 11 2 rooms. One room can be for sleeping and the other can be for storage. I don't think they are going to be checking my cabin in the middle of the night to see if we are in their. I'm hoping they call for an upgrade but that would be at least 6 months away. Have a wonderful trip.
