Hi Ron
Well we are discussing it, We will be checking the kids school calanders this coming week to see how many days they will need to miss.
I would say we are at an 80% we will go.

I am going to look into buying more DVC to see if that will help
with travel and excursions, each trip cost us 10k, anyway for our family of 5.
But in return, we have 100k of smiles!

We are also seriously thinking about it. We have to wait for the school calender to come out though.

Yeah, I agree w/ the school calandar thing. I wonder how fast these book up? Is it something we could wait on and book T-day and get the discount? I think the 10 day was around 8K for us. Normally we're around 4k.

Ron, do they have enough Miller Lite for 10 days?

 

[djs113]

we just came back from the 10 day Christmas cruise and it was awesome, we had a great group of DISers with us!

we are probably booking the '06 trip as well

all the cat 1,2,and 3's are booked already for this trip!

My sisters and i are trying so hard to get my dad to book this one! i don't think it will be too hard because he caved in and took us on the 10 night Christmas cruise this year. it was a blast and i can't wait to do it again...this time i hope i actually get to meet DIS members!!

 

[dee47]

We just got back from the 10-day cruise. We booked the '06 10-day cruise onboard, deposit paid, stateroom # will be 2570, unless we upgrade.

 

[dobelover]

I am going! Not sure what family member(s) will be coming with me.

 

[LAMPSKIES]

Looks like 7800 for our cat. 6 for 2 and 4800 for the cat. 11 for the DDs. It is about 5000 more than we spent these last two years but, it is 10 days and more stops.....We like the Eastern better.....

We just returned from the wonderful 10 day cruise. It was I think one of our best disney cruises. We rebooked onboard for 12-16-06. Hopefully school calendar will work out and wont miss any days of school. I dont want to wait to 2 years for another cruise. Wish they were doing it next year. Our family might try the freedom of the seas in june 06. That should be fun and at least its somthing closer then the 10 day!! See you all there!

We aren't concerned 'bout the kids and missing school. We've done it each of the last 5 years. But it looks like 3 days. Our school system is tolerant as long as they get good grades and don't have our time off. My gals never call off of school.

 

[PalatkaCruisers]

We were also on the past 10 day cruise and rebooked prior to leaving the ship. Disappointed we didn't get the 10% like on other cruises but we didn't want to miss out. We will be in 7003 since all secret port hole rooms were booked already. We lucked out this past trip. We will make sure we track the excurision time frame this trip so we get on the pirate cruise in St. Lucia this time since it was already sold out at the 59 day mark. Look forward to keeping in touch over the next two years.

My family and I are booked and the deposit is made. I can't wait. I have a countdown going in all my planners.

 

[silver7]

Why weren't yall given the 10% off?

 

[DCLgodess]

my family was given the 10% off and $400 onboard credit (we booked two cat 6s).

 

[PalatkaCruisers]

When we talked to Donna (Cruise Sales Mgr) on the ship, she told us that Disney wasn't offering the 10% on the 10 day Christmas cruise, but were giving it on the 3, 4 and 7 day cruises. If you in fact received this 10% discount, I will be calling Disney to check it out. We did talk to Costco travel tonight and we were quoted roughly $600 less then we were quoted by Disney on the ship and they said that they could take over our reservation and give us this better rate. Last cruise we had booked through AAA Travel and they weren't any cheaper then Disney's websight. After talking to several cruisers on the ship, they told us how they booked through Disney and then switched to a another company so this is what we are working on now. Either way we still plan on being on the next 10 day cruise at Christmas.
