dblr....Rennie 224 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Dave, Yes you can use DVC points for a cruise, the only difference is that the amount of points needed are per person not per room. Some folks do not think it is a good value to use your points so some rent the points and pay cash for the trip, dut I always feel that if the points owner is happy that;s all that matter, kind of the same as if you use points for a campsite at the Fort. Looks like you had a great time and all your girls were happy!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dvccamper 32 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I have to say that DCL does a top notch job. Now I don't have any experiences with other lines to compare to, but we were pleased. Can you use DVC points on cruises?You can use points for the cruise but from my understanding it's not the best use of points. But I think if we ever were to go we would have do part cash, part points, because we don't have enough cash or enough points, but maybe put together we can do something!Can't wait to hear how your girls enjoyed the trip. We took our girls on Royal Caribbean last year and they loved it. But of course, they long for a Disney cruise, like their mother Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mgsmom 9 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Holy crap you DO have a TR going on! Wow! It took me a while, but I"m all caught up now. I love the decals on your van. I was out running the other day and saw this sweet momma (looking not too un-like INC) parking a big ol' passenger van (not too un-like yours). I thought of you immediately and thought "What is INC doing here in the Carolinas?" Then I saw HER decals. She had 7 kid mouses and 3 pet mouses. :bugeyes:Can't wait to see more!!!

We took our girls on Royal Caribbean last year and they loved it. But of course, they long for a Disney cruise, like their mother I bet my girls would love any cruise at this point. Disney was great, but if we couldn't afford another DCL cruise but could afford another line we would consider it. However, I'm glad we were able to take our first cruise on DCL and hope we can do another someday. It was awesome! I've thought the same thing. Only INC is a much younger AND prettier S.W. Ok DAVE!!!

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Adventure PlankingIn the morning, we got up and had some coffee in the room, and waited for my parents to arrive. They live in the Villages and were driving down to meet us for breakfast before we headed to the Port.There was a Cracker Barrel right by the hotel so we went there to eat. I took no pics of our breakfast...if you've seen one CB breakfast you've seen them all.Anna kept busy playing with the iPad.Stella kept busy stacking the little creamers.I'd say Anna got the better end of that deal.The girls were pretty excited about the cruise and just wanted to get through breakfast.My Mom and INC.We said our goodbyes to Nana and Grampa and then loaded back into the minivan for the short drive to Port Canaveral.We hadn't even been on the road long enough for anyone to complain about having to use the potty, and we saw this in the distance.The ship is so impressive when you are driving up to it. My girls had never been close to a cruise ship before, and they couldn't believe how HUGE they are!This picture shows the DCL terminal and parking deck in front of the ship.We pulled in to the check in gate, and they directed us to the area next to the terminal where you unload your luggage. A porter took our bags, which had been tagged with the luggage tags DCL sent to us a few weeks earlier (and I had to hide from INC), and then we parked the van.Before walking into the terminal, Gwen wanted to get some video for a series of "planking" videos she and her cousins make called "Adventure Planking". She asked if she could climb on top of the van. There is no way I would ever let someone climb on top of one of our vehicles at home...but you can draw two important lessons from this next set of pictures.1. When you are about to board a Disney Cruise, you will let your kids get away with things you normally wouldn't. I guess it can be blamed on temporary euphoria.and2. Don't ever buy a former rental car. You have no idea what people have done to it. :rofl2:She started out just sitting.And then she got into her planking while one of her sisters filmed. I just snapped a couple pics.And finally a couple more poses before I pulled her down to get inside the terminal.Coming up....we head inside the terminal to check in, and take the obligatory mouse ear pictures in front of the gangway.

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 That is one big footed hijack... blame Judy. She asked for it.Henna is an art form used in African and Indian (not the Native American kind) to decorate ones body. I used a pre-cut stencil to do my feet but can (though out of practice) do simple henna designs on other people. Depending on the area of body done, depends on the length of time it lasts.Mostly I use it to semi permanently write my phone numbers on my children's arms when going to places like WDW. As it literally stains the skin, your child can't be taken into the bathroom and have it scrubbed off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks Nicki. I don't think I've ever seen Henna in person. Carry on, Dave! You have center stage back. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
