I think my level of anticipation for this one is higher than for our 2 previous Disney cruises. Admittedly, our first cruise was our honeymoon, so the cruise wasn't really the top focus of our anticipation. -Jeff

Otherwise, there's probably no rush. However, there's no downside either. Book now, put down the fully refundable deposit and full payment isn't due until, I believe, 75 days before the cruise. And the deposit is refundable until then as well. And - OF COURSE - use MouseEarVacations.com Doobie.

I'd never had much interest but once we moved to Florida so it became a much cheaper option we - along with Rebekah's family - decided to give it a shot. Turned out I loved it more than just about anything else in life. But as far as initial anticipation, there was some apprehension. So yes - I've never been as excited as this. Doobie.

Since I will be using DVC points the deposit it not an issue, but since we will borrow points from a future year I want to make sure everything will work before booking the cruise. If we had to cancel for any reason we would not be able to put the points back into the following year. I plan to book in the next month or so, and since it will be through DVC we wont be using MouseEarVacations. Sorry.

I never really thought I'd like cruising. We went on the cruise last September for our honeymoon because it was something Ann really wanted to do. Like you, I ended up LOVING it. I still love visiting WDW, but have far greater anticipation for our next cruise than I had for our recent trip to WDW.
