[bobbiwoz]

Hi -- we'll be sailing with you ... It's me and DH and our three kids. Looking forward to the next 14 months and our second member cruise. We got married on our first member cruise many years ago.

Lovely!

It took 32 redials, but made to an 11b cabin on deck 6. My third Member Cruise. 2007/2008 and now 2015. Woo hoo!!!

My DH and three children will be on the cruise, too! We are also booked on August 2014 cruise. Booked our second cruise without trying the first one yet! Bobbiwoz... we are definitely interested in the Candy Exchange on the 2015 cruise, too! Thanks!

That's great, I will keep an open list of members and mention it every so often on this thread. I will keep the groups around 7-10 participants so no one over loads on sugar! Some join 2 groups.

Information on a Candy Exchange:
We use the Fish Extenders to pass along the goodies. Examples of candies from the past have included Salt Water Taffy from the Jersey Shore and from Salt Lake City, Chick o Stix from TX, Hershey assortment from PA, also hard candy treats from England. A family from Nebraska gave these treats:

If the people in the exchange are interested, I would try to organize a "farewell luncheon". Nothing more than asking the dining room to set aside some seats in the dining room for lunch on the last day.

So far in the CE

Since there is no money involved in the luncheon meet, it cannot be booked in advance. I go to guest services on embarkation day, tell them how many are interested. Usually (I have done this on Magic & Wonder) they get back to me to have the group meet outside the dining room ( one is opened for a sit down lunch) 15 minutes before opening and they sit us in an area. This is not guaranteed to be able to do this. The Wonder CM finally got back to me 3-4 days before the last day, it was a 15 night cruise! However, they came through, I know we had a great time eating with our Disboard friends.

What an adventure booking the members' cruise yesterday. 2 hours and 53 stressful minutes! Happy to say that we got category 10A and cabin number 8679. For those of your using points and wondering the value it cost us $2,646 in cash for 2 adults, no transportation and no insurance. This will be our 8th Disney cruise and our first Magic Porthole.

Look forward to meeting you all in August 2015. Craig and Sharon (currently the hills of Seattle WA, by the cruise the hills of Clermont, FL)

First time booking members cruise and I didn't know what to expect. With a little hiccup in the beginning (disconnected and busy signal along with members services being closed message) we booked an 11A cabin on deck 8. I heard being in middle of the ship you feel less movement. Traveling will be myself(Sue) and hubby Glenn. Looking forward to an exciting time!!

My friend and I have an 11 on Deck 8 for this year. I think you are right about the middle of the ship, it's my friend's first cruise...I think it's going to be great!

SMITH2615 we are Bobbi & Tom, from Ohio now, but by cruise time, hoping to be from Solivita (development) Polk County FL!

We left Cape May for Ohio after a 3 week stay. My mom, 94, lives there.

Should I include you in the open list for the CE?

Sure Bobbi, add us and we'll figure out what we'll find from Delaware (we may go for the beach taffys).
