Hi everyone....we met some "dispeeps" on our Fantasy cruise in February and booked this cruise to meet more people who share our enjoyment of Disney. So we too are booked on the Aug 4 Cruise and look forward to seeing and getting to know all those on the ship! So learning about Disboards, dispeeps and looking forward to this Cruise with all of you.
Hi disneymag! I wish you a warm to the DISboards! I will be happy to give you the background on the Dispeeps and my 2 cents on the Disboards. There were 19 of the "Dispeeps" on the February 16 sailing of the Fantasy. The current count for this Alaska sailing is 39 of us! Most of the Dispeeps group "met" here on the Disboards' DVC member cruise threads in 2010 & 2011. We were a very chatty group and talked about anything, everything, and nothing in particular, not just cruise related stuff. After a year of chatting on the DISboards before the cruise (13 threads ) we wound up becoming friends here, on the ship and in real life too. Now most of us try to cruise together or meet up at Disney World. The Dispeeps are not a cliquy, closed group or anything. Our motto is the more the merrier!
Like you, we all share an enjoyment of Disney. We like to have fun and make the most out of our cruise experience. I've run a couple of Pink Champagne Girl events, Pajama Party, Muppet Detective agency drinking game, Debbie and I have both run Fish Extender groups etc. I think Milford is toying with hosting a "wear your kilt" whiskey tasting meet for this cruise. I am planning on something brand new for this cruise I will announce what I have planned once I get confirmation from DCL that we can do it
My 2 cents on the the DISboards is Like anything else in life it is what you make of it. Getting to know and become friends with people on the cruise has really added to and made my cruise experiences THAT much more enjoyable. Winding up becoming friends in real life with some of these same people is priceless. So my advice is jump in with both feet and have fun!
