We are going on our 1st Disney cruise.
Last night I just booked our 1st Disney cruise for DH and myself. We will be on the Magic from Oct 3rd thru Oct 10th. We are both so excited. We decided to drive down and we are going to spend the night before and the night after the cruise in Disney world. I just have to figured out which DVC resort we want to stay in.
Im sure that Im going to have a lot of questions about this cruise since it is our first disney cruise, so if I start driving ya'all nuts please feel free to tell me to stop. LOL OoO Thanks

Re: We are going on our 1st Disney cruise.
Congrats! My DW and I just went on our first disney cruise last october. Infact it was the same week as the one that your taking. It was great and you will love it. I'm hooked and I don't think that I could go with any other cruiseline. Let me know if you have any questions. I will answer as much as I can.

I have so many questions you have no idea.... Any help that you can give me would be so AWESOME! Heres a few that I can think of now... (Im so sorry) Should we pre-pay gratuties before we leave or as soon as we get on the ship? What is the dinner attire like for Formal night or at Palo? Is it worth bringing a lap-top with us? Thanks OoO

- Formal night we have rented tuxes (they can have them waiting in your stateroom) for the men and a black dress for me. For Polo is was a Jacket and tie. It does not have to be that formal, but it feels fun to us. - I personally did not want to bring a laptop. I did use their common computers to check email in a couple of times. Do you have the Passporter book for DCL? If not you should get it. It is a fun read and answers so many questions.

Re: We are going on our 1st Disney cruise.
Congratulations!!!!!! We will be going this Thanksgiving and can't wait. DH will only let me book it every other year, but if I could do it every trip I would. I have even gotten friends to come with me, now they are hooked!
I did a trip report on this... http://www.mousebuzz.com/forum/trip-...-2007-a-2.html Check out the pics and fun things to do... |

Re: We are going on our 1st Disney cruise.
Congratulations! You're going to have a great time. As all your questions, we have many experienced cruisers here who can help you out.
I would wait until you get on the cruise and experience the service first had before you tip. You can get as formal as you wish or, I also saw some pretty casually dressed people as well. Whatever you feel like doing. I wouldn't bring the laptop unless you REALLY think you'll need it. You are on vacation, no need to worry about anything else but relaxing and having a great time.
