My family are taking our first cruise ever and have chosen Disney. I believe we are going in march of 2009, any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Welcome Familygirl!
Have a great time planning your trip. Sorry, I can't offer any help with the Disney Cruise, but I bet you will find many people here who can.
Have a magical day!

Sadly, I, like previous posters, can't offer any help in the area of cruises either. But regardless, I wanted to say welcome to TD and congrats on the cruise!

You will have a great time, I hope everything is great for you!

I have been on 10 cruises and this Nov will be my first Disney. ALl I can say is the other cruises were so wonderful that I can see how disney could be better. From what I understand once you go Disney you never go back.

Again, I can provide no help, but I'm keeping my eye on this post as I too am planning a Disney Cruise hopefully towards the end of this year and would like to advise.

I'll post back if I find any insight.

Good luck with your planning.

Hey all just thought you might like an update. I have found some very useful informatin on other boards and I am so excited to go. We still have a full year to wait but the only thing my daughter has been talking about is our big boat trip and seeing Cinderella. Thanks....

Hello dear! Welcome to the world of Disney Cruiseline! My DH and I have only cruised Disney. We are booked on the EB Repo Cruise in August and can hardly wait! I'd be happy to answer any questions that you might have. You could also check out some of the other Chat Boards that specialize in Disney. When I was starting out my resarch, I found that the DIS Boards were very invaluable. Also, read any books that you can find. My personal favorite is The Passporters Fieldguide To Disney Cruiseline" Shows you lots of pictures of staterooms,the ship,reviews and prices of all the excursions(both the Wonder and Magic).

Planning is half of the adventure!!

We have been on 2 Disney Cruises. First off plan to have a great time there is so much to do and see. The kids program is fantastic. The food is unbelievable. The ship has lots of onboard activities each day you will get a news letter with what is on .. You can do as much or as little as you want to do.
Plan to get off the ship at the various ports if nothing else then to just look around.
So enjoy!!!

if you like eating early do the first seating. If you like eating at about 8pm take the second seating. Make sure you see the live stage shows each night as they can only be seen on the ships. Also dont arrive late to dinner. We had no choice due to shore excursion running a little late and the wait staff didnt say anything but you could tell they were not pleased. We hopefully wont have the two we had again. If you want a great waitor, request Brent. Great little guy from Trinadad. Realyl fun and lively guy! Lunch at the buffet rear deck 10 is always great also breakfast there. Find the ice cream on deck 10 also, great for kids. Get a Fish Extender on Ebay before you go to hang outside your door to your cabin. Guests and castmembers put goodies in your fish extender when you arrive you get a surprise. Dont forget your Pirate Costume for the Pirates IN the Carribean party.

I have never been on a Disney cruise but I have been on a cruise and had a great time. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with the disney cruise. Have a great time.
