Joined this cruise over the wkend. We started out late for 2016 so was into an expensive GTY when I read a post talking about bking 5d 2017. It will be a long wait but worth it for then $$ plus stops. Happy Dance

Hi all,
We were originally planning to do the Canadian coast sailing this year, but we bumped it to next year so we will be joining you all. It is myself, my husband, and our two kids. Our daughter will be 3 at sailing and our son will be 2! It will be her second cruise, and his first! We are so excited.

My husband and I had been planning a trip to Maine this summer for our 10 year anniversary however I'm thinking this cruise would be better so we can bring our little ones along! They have been begging for another Disney Adventure!!! This will be our second cruise, our first was on Disney's Magic as well we fell in love with this ship and its crew!!! I believe my in laws will be joining us as well!!!

Hi everyone!Booked this cruise yesterday! We're so excited!! This will be our second Disney cruise...we cruised on the Dream this past August. So excited to see what the Magic has to offer! It will be myself, my husband and our son who will be 6 at the time. We live in SC so flying up a couple days before the cruise to do some sightseeing in NYC! Especially excited about eating a lobster roll (or two) in Maine! I've been to Maine before and it's just beautiful! Only 348 days to go!!

Does anyone have any experience with NYC port? Can you offer any tips on where to stay/park/transfer from?

I wish I had experience/advice...we booked our hotel stay through Disney and we're staying at their preferred hotel which is the Marriott Marquis in Time Square. We're taking their transfer service from the hotel to the cruise pier the morning of departure. I was clueless too but trust Disney so we went with the hotel they suggested
