Well apparently there will only be two Disfamilies on the Wonder - yours and ours....

The ship is decked out the halls and then some for the Magic of Christmas. You will have such a wonderful time...

Make sure that Captain Mickey knows it is your son's BD. Also you will want to mention this to your server......

Have you decided what to do at Castaway Cay? did you make reservations?

Thanks for the tip for the BD. For Castaway Cay I want to hit the beach and relax! We will be at WDW before the cruise and will going back to WDW after the cruise. I tried to make a reservation for parasailing but it was all booked up. The banana boat ride looks like fun so we might try that:banana: .

[chip&dale&fun]

Relaxing - ??? What a nice plan. I hope this will put you in the mood.

Our friends took the Banana Boats last year and loved it....Good luck planning....

:thumbsup2 Our 1st cruise was June 2006 on the Wonder. Next year I would like to go on the Magic on the Mexican Riviera Cruise.:jumping1: Do you think that they will give ship credit if I book onboard:confused:

They always had given ship board credit before - if you book on board. We are planning on doing this - you need to put a deposit on a cruise date, but you do have felxibility to move that date if you need to --- at least in the past.

[BAIC03]

Does anybody know if they will have special stuff on Castaway Cay? I have cruised Disney before, but never at Christmas.:santa:

Plus, I am surprising my DHpirate: with this cruise. He thinks we are just going to WDW. Any ideas on how to surprise him? pixiedust:

Thanks!

[WDWKevin]

I will be on the Wonder, two staterooms this time! It's my 6th Disney Cruise!!! Can't wait.

[WDWKevin]

Has anyone organized a meet and greet for this cruise? If not, lets set something up for all is DISers to meet each other. Prefer somewhere where we can get some drinks... maybe Promenade Lounge around 3pm? Anyone up for that?

See everyone on board the beautiful Disney Wonder.... Our Captain will be Henry Anderson! =)

How do I do that? Is there one # I can call? I have to do this quietly-- which is the hardest part!:headache:

Can I arrange it before we leave?

Thanks!

I had posted earlier that I had my cruise docs and I made a mistake. I have my vacation documents for the AKL. No cruise docs for me yet either.:confused3

[BAIC03]

They usually don't show until 2-3 weeks prior to your trip. It's aggravating... but if I gets much later-- I would call and see what the deal is. :goodvibes

[Whidbey5]

So far we have
DisneyFanatic and family
Chip&Dale&Fun and family

Hi - I have been offline for a while.


The florist I have used - is the Disney florist - they have some unique Disney gifts - here is the link -- http://www.disneyflorist.com/

Or you could buy a childs sand bucket and wrap it up, or perhaps with a mask and fins, if you plan on snorkeling.....

Castaway Cay is fully decorated for Christmas as is the Wonder - you will be amazed at the decorations. And if you were asking if the island has Christmas Souveniers, I recall that there were special T-shirts...

[chip&dale&fun]

I will be on the Wonder, two staterooms this time! It's my 6th Disney Cruise!!! Can't wait.

Welcome aboard...I think this might be our 6th as well....let me count...

Nope, this is my 5th...You will have to pass along all the hints as the seasoned cruiser......

Meeting right outside the Disney theatre area might be a good choice.

We are two - DH and I. We have a traveling "mascot" but no children. How special for you to have twins....in addition to your son.

[chip&dale&fun]

My son is turning 8. This is his birthday cruise.

How very special....

We have a nice group cruising, and you all have been busy posting. I think I am all caught up now.

So what's it going to be...Promenade Lounge or outside the Disney Theatre area?

[WDWKevin]

I am up for any area, prefer the Promenade Lounge. Done a few meet/greets with DISers there and it has been a blast. So I vote for there. =)

I will be traveling with 4-people. This is my 6th Disney cruise and the others are 3rd, 3rd, and 2nd Disney Cruise. Can't wait to see everyone!

[WDWKevin]

Cruise docs for one stateroom arrived today!! Waiting on the other. Disney said the other rooms docs are "printed but not sent out yet."

Weird, booked at the same time.. same credit card. lol

[WDWKevin]

If the Promenade Lounge is kid friendly I am all for it!:thumbsup2

Everywhere is kid friendly! =) It's located Deck 3, just aft of the main atrium. Nice place to people watch, watch some tv, and have a drink. Lots of seating to sit and chat. =)

WDW Kevin - I was concerned the Promenade would be too busy - but if you have done Dis Meets there on embarcation day - then I say "go for it" as well.

My 12 year olds and my 10 year old are really good about hanging out with kids of all ages, so your child is welcome to join in! They have good friends in our neighborhood from ages 7-13.

And I think you should haunt your mail box today...I'll bet your docs arrive!!

I'm starting tomorrow night. I've got some shopping to do!:banana:

[Whidbey5]

Okay, you all! We board tomorrow night and head to the sunshine and warmth of Florida! I have our meeting time and place written down. Are we still going to get together?

I have a TON of work to do before we leave. It's been a long week, but it will be so worth it in the end!

See you on the boat!

Shelley

[The Disney Fanatic]

Hey Everybody,

I am sorry that I did not get a chance to meet with everyone. We did not get onboard until 2:45 pm coming from the Animal Kingdom Lodge. We went to get something to eat and then it was time for the safety drill. I'm sure I saw some of your smiling faces in passing and I hope that your cruise was as enjoyable mine. God bless, Happy New Year and I hope to meet my fellow DISers on future cruises. :)

[chip&dale&fun]

I had a wonderful cruise, but did not meet up with everyone either...

We were waiting for 3:00 when the bartender said there is a rocket launch - and we all ran off to watch. And then, well the Disney magic took over and ...well, there were movies, and shows, and dinner, and spas, and Castaway Cay and Palos and National Treasure and - so much more....


and then - it was time to pack and go home.

I hope everyone also had a good time.
