May 31, 2009- 4 Wonderful nights

[remlap]

Since today is the magic 105 mark (actually 9 PM pacific) I thought I'd create a thread since no one else has.

Keeping this brief until I can get the link set up.

[starsr4me]

Hello...thank you for creating the link for 5/31/09 on the Wonder (I had no clue as to how to do it). I, too, thought that we'd be the only ones cruising! Have you ever been on a Disney Cruise before? This is the first for us and we're looking forward to it. By the way, what state are you traveling from? We're from Pennsylvania.

[remlap]

We are from Southern California. It's our first Disney Cruise too.

We're looking forward to it. We have our reservations for Palo dinner and brunch booked, which made it seem "real" when we hit the 105 day mark.

Random request if anyone is on the cruise. There are only two of us, but we want to go to the pools at Atlantis. We have booked a room a the Comfort Suites, which is just slightly cheaper then the Disney excursion for two people. If two other people wanted to split the room with us, we'd welcome dividing the cost, which makes it much cheaper.

[FLORIDA_DAD]

Wife and 2 kids and I will be onboard of our 3rd cruise since late September. From Central Florida, so it is not a far drive for us. You are going to have a blast - Disney Cruise Line is by far the best out there for those with kids, and those that are kids at heart.

[Rikersmom]

My son and I (both adults) will be cruising with you all. We're looking forward to a fun, relaxing time. We are also from central Florida, although my son spends a lot of time traveling for his work. Looking forward to meeting you.

Karen

I am a long time Dis reader, 1st time poster.

I am from Rhode Island.
Its my second Dis cruise, and DH's first. Took me awhile to convince him to go with me.

I just booked the cruise a couple days ago. Seems like there are lots of cabins left, but no space at the Palo Brunch. I am checking twice a day to see if space opens. I had the brunch last cruise and it was fab!

remlap - If you are still looking for someone to split the comfort suites let me know. We are just 2 adults also.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Karen and I just booked this cruise today with my friend and her baby son.

We have cruised previously with DCL but only on the Magic. This is will be our first time on Wonder.

Has anyone organized fish extenders, cruise meet, or anything else?

We will be working on transportation from the MCO airport to the Port tomorrow.

I hope you all are excited as us! Looking forward to meeting you all!

Have a good night! Karen

I am originally from So Cal too! I visit often. I raised in Santa Monica and now stay with my girlfriend up in Palos Verdes (PV). What area are you from?

[legs22]

Hi all,
My daughter and I will be cruising Disney for the 3rd time but it is the first on the Wonder.

I would be interested in splitting the room with you.

[elderfam]

Hello!
I am Karens friend with the baby! We are so excited to take a girls trip together! We have our palo reservations and booked the limit of 10 hours of flounders time. This is my first time on the "Wonder" and I am REALLY thrilled at a last minute chance to go!
We should be easy to spot. Two women with an 18 month old at the pool who don't stop talking! Ha Ha Our husbands just don't get how we can have to much to say:rotfl:

We're in Long Beach (Signal Hill actually) I'm glad there's another Californian on the trip.

PM'd and I saw her Private Message first and I already replied to her before I saw your post. I'm sure there will be another reply shortly.

As far as I know, nope. I'd be up for a cruise meet to meet some friendly faces on the cruise.

Hi Doug and gang,

I could of waved to you from Palos Verdes this past Friday. I just flew in friday and left saturday. :)

Off to bowling! It's our last day until next Septermber... :sad1:

Check in later.

[CruzDirectorKaren]

OK Gang, I am willing to put together a little roll call for our Wonder cruise.

CruzDirectorKaren, 1 adult, late dining
Elderfam, 1 adult 1 child, late dining
Remlap, 2 adults
Starsr4me, 2 adults
FLORIDA_DAD, 2 adults, 2 children
Rikersmom, 2 adults
Legs22, 1 adult, 1 child
Sunnyw, 2 adults

I would like to also include cabin numbers and either late or early dinning.

What do you think?

How do you guys think about meeting after the life boat drill at Mickey's pool? Does it interfere with anyone's dinning plans?

OK I will pack MY fish-extender...

Doing ironing and household chores...:laundy::laundy::laundy:

Thankx for the information!

Does anyone know where the link is to track the Disney ships? I thought I had it booked mark from last year's repo but I don't. I would really appreciate it. :confused3

Karen

We too have late dining (by choice)

We are in a SPH room, but the exact number escapes me. I'm still holding out for an upgrade. j/k

I'd be up for meeting. Your idea won't interfere with dinner. However, as our first (and probably only) DCL trip, I do want to catch part of the sail away show. I'm not sure the timing, but if it all works, count us in.

We'd be terrible fish extender people, especially on this short of cruise, but I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. It's always good to be able to find friendly faces when grabbing a drink or seeing a show.

I was out on our balcony and saw someone up on PV waving, wearing mouse ears. Did you see me waving back. :)

Doug

[remlap]

I have no clue when we'd have time to watch a movie, but I just noticed that UP! is being released two days before we set sail.

While I have no clue when anyone would actually have time to watch a movie, odds are high that they'll be showing it in 3D on our cruise.

[legs22]

Right now we have early dining...by my daughter's choice. I want to try late this time but the growing girl is hungry early.
I would like to get a good spot at the sail away party which I think follows the drill? On a previous cruise we DISers met up on Deck 10 prior to and during the sail away. Up on deck 10, you can watch the show below on Deck 9 plus you can watch the Wonder sail out of the port. If you are on deck 9 you will be in front of the stage show but you can't see the sailing out of the port.

On our 2006 Disney cruise we got to see the movie Cars on the Magic before it was released in any of the theaters. So it would be great if that happened again with "Up".

Yes that is usually where us past Diser's have meet too. I was thinking that the first timers maybe want to be down on the stage for sailaway. Us adults can do sailaway from there on Deck 10. We can decided to meet before sail away on Deck 10, port side and then who ever wants to go and dance can. How about that?

[sunnyw]

I just checked UPS.com and used my bkg # as the reference #.......
And looks like something was sent 5/4 should be here 5/7.

I am in a verandah guarantee, I hope my cabin # will be printed on them.

Sounds good to me.

[remlap]

Too cool about the cruise docs and the secret of tracking by confirmation number. Mine were delivered to AMEX travel yesterday. Hopefully I'll get them tomorrow.

Cruise meet time & place sounds like a great idea. C-YA there!

[OrlandoDisneyFan]

Another Central Florida Family here...looking forward to the cruise. We decided to go 'last minute' in early/mid April when I saw the FL Resident rates, and couldn't pass up the deal. I must say I was quite surprised to get early seating, as well as Palo dinner and bruch reservations, at that late date, but we'll take them.

We are: Myself, DW, DD4, DS(6months)

This will be our third cruise (since 06/01/2008...we got hooked!) and we are trying to keep this one 'secret' from DD4. Since we live in Orlando, and will be driving over, I plan on sending her to a neighbor's house early Sunday while we pack up her stuff, then heading over to the port and 'see if they have any room for us' once she sees the ship.

[OfChorus]

We're a family of 3 (husband, wife, & 19 yo son). This is son's belated graduation present. This will be our first time in a Cat 4 stateroom. We've been in Cat 11 and Cat 5-7 previously. It's been 6 years since we've set sail and this is long overdue!!! I'm probably more excited about this cruise than the other 5 - but think it's cuz it's been soooo long. We're Central Florida Natives and live about 2 hours from Port Canaveral. If you have any questions for which you haven't yet found answers...I'll be glad to share what I might know with you. We don't care where the ship goes - either Disney Cruise Ship - the Magic or the Wonder - IS the destination! Both young and old alike will have a blast!!! There are a number of youtube vids that will help get you even more excited - just search for Disney Cruise! I'm just waaay to excited about this!!!

[FLORIDA_DAD]

Looks like we have some things in common - Central FL (Palm Bay) - Annual Passholders, and Hooked on Disney Cruises (3rd since Sept 2008). We have a DS5 and a DD3. If you would like to meet up during the sail away party let us know. We will try and be off to the side of Pinocchio’s Pizzeria, unless you have a better idea. Later - Chris

Hello Everyone,
I am glad i found this forum. This is our 2nd Disney Cruise (last one was October 2008). In the last cruise, we went with a group of 14 (family and friends). This time we are going just us 4 (DH, myself, DS 5, and DD3). My daughter will be turning 4yo on June 1st and I want to prepare special things on her special day, any suggestings?
I have not read all the posting but I see there is a "meet" time, we will like to join.
DH is looking some adult time and spa.
DS5 is hoping to play hard in the Oceaneer's club.
DD3 knows is her birthday and thinks the whole cruise is about her birthday. We made reservations to Bibbibb... boutique at downtown disney on Sunday morning to get her hair and nails done.
And i am hoping for some party time at the clubs, LOL.
Hope to meet you soon.

DS 5 is excited about seeing this movie but i remember last time we went on disney cruise in October, it was the opening weekend for Beverly Hills Chihuahua and my kids fell sleep half way through the movie, not fun brining them back to the room. We were just so tired of everything we did that day. Hopefully this time we can stay up.

We have annual passes as well. My family call us the "disney freaks"..LOL. OUr kids are same age. we are planning to have our bathings suites on when boarding so the kids can enjoy mickey's pool early, then change them before departing.

[remlap]

Hi Tampa. We too have reservations for Palo on Tuesday. Ours are at 7 PM.

We choose Tuesday for Pirate night so we could hit all three restaurants since have haven't been to any of them, including Palo.

You'll have to swing by the table when you arrive for your reservation. We can give you our recommendations. :)

See everyone in 11 days!

We will definately take your recommendations... though, i am planning to finish dinner fast so I can make it to the Pirate party with the kids. Is anyone dressing up for pirates in the caribbean night? I am tempted to.

[legs22]

Well I sure am glad I was not on the May 17 Wonder. The weather has been terrible here all week.

No Palo dinner for me because I prefer to have dinner with my daughter every night. What I love the most is the Palo brunch. I've done that twice. The dinner, only once. I am considering the brunch again.

[CruzDirectorKaren]

Hi Everyone! Just stopping by to say "Hi"!

I forgot about pirate night. Does that mean I need to pack my costume? This will be our first trip on a four day cruise with Disney. We usually do 14 or more days on special itins so all this will be new for us.

Clean house, clean pantry now onto bigger and badder projects!

[FLORIDA_DAD]

We are doing the same thing - suits on, and ready. We will be at the terminal early, and once we get a fairly quick bite at Parrot Cay we will be playing in the Mickey Pool as well (before it gets too busy). We will keep a look out for a little Princess with a lot of hairspray and glitter. princess: Hope to see you!

Great! Closer to the date we can give us hints what to look for and probably meet by Mickey's pool, maybe the port-side ear.

[TampaFamilyof4]

We are officially in the single digit count down to the date, i can't wait!!:banana:/
Does anyone have specific things they will be doing during cruise, maybe you didn't get to do it before or looking forward to?
I got into this fitness kick a month ago and looking forward the fitness classes, especially cycling... hopefully i don't get off the wagon during the cruise. Anyone exercising during the cruise?
I would exercise only in the morning if wake up early, don't want to miss the fun...

[legs22]

I go to the gym every week but I haven't decided if I will on the cruise.

[elderfam]

I called to see what movies will be showing and this is the list they gave me...
UP 3D, HSM3, Bolt 3D, Hannah Montana the Movie, and the Concert, Bedtime Stories, Confession of a Shopaholic, Jonus Brothers 3D concert, Race to Witch Mountain, and Earth (the nature movie).

Pirate night is still set for the 3rd night which is always lots of fun!!

We leave in one week and YES we are Excited!!!!!!:banana:

See you real soon!

[FLORIDA_DAD]

I will probably be running deck 4 a few times, but other than that I will not be doing much else in the way of normal exercising. Well I may take a long swim at Castaway.

I am shocked they will be showing UP on the ship. Make sure you get there early, as we were on the ship a few weeks after Bolt came out and it was packed, got the last few seats at the very top of the theater.

[TampaFamilyof4]

Ok, this is too cute... my kids are playing "pretend going to the cruise". They have their dolls for kids and little luggage.
All those Disney movie sound great, i want to watch them all.

Do they let others save seats? b/c with little kids we should send the DH get the seats.

[TampaFamilyof4]

what are Fish Extenders? I saw the fish hangers but what are they used for? is it a gift exchange? I have tried looking it up but the threads are too long and i don't find the links i am supposed to read.

Ok, this should be my post #10 so now I am able to send PM.

[FLORIDA_DAD]

TampaFmailyof4 and others,

We just learned what fish extenders were this week and are in the process of making our own. Essentially you have a decorative cloth that has pockets in it (I am sure you have seen these). The fun part is, other folks can leave you messages, and/or little trinkets (i.e. bubbles, pencils, notepads, glow bracelets, etc., party favors).

Our last minute fish extender will be made from small colored bags, pinned together and all decorated by the kids. This works since my wife can't sew.

We are also going to be decorating our door with some of the images posted on DisBoard by others. The kids will like it, and it should be fun.

Who else is interested in bringing their fish extenders?

We are in room 5513.

TampaFamilyof4 - in reference to your question if you can save seats. You can, but I would still get the whole family their at least 15 minutes before he start, just as a courtesy to others. :P

[TampaFamilyof4]

FE sound fun... I will see if i can put one together this week, so we are a maybe (I am taking a summer course and need to spend extra hours this week since I will be missing 2 :teacher:classes next week)... but it is worth it :cool1:

Hi guys,
This is the link to a thread with lots of photos and directions on how to make a fish extender.

We will also have a FE hanging as well as other door decorations. Hope this helps!

Hi Everyone,

Can you believe in less than 5 days we will be on-board? We are sooo excited to get on that ship, especially since this will be our first time on the Wonder. :woohoo:

I am just finished packing and was putting the list of everyone. Please look it over and let me know if I am missing anyone, especially you lurkers out there. There are two things I am missing, stateroom numbers and first names.
:confused3 I understand if you don't want to put on here but I need you to then PM me ASAP with your stateroom numbers. I am also missing first names for everyone to put on the roll call. You can also PM me that information and I won't post either stateroom number or name here if you prefer, just let me know.

MEETING LOCATION:
is at sailaway, dockside, at the top of the stairs, come by to say Hi and meet everyone, and anyone that wants to dance downstairs can for dancing during the sailaway celebration. Is anyone wearing their grass skirt to sailaway?

Cynthia and I will be wearing our lime green lanyards from the Panama Cruise last year.

One suggestion for the children that we did on the Panama Cruise was that we did a post card exchange. I got a post card from Utah that had some interesting facts on it. It was a great learning tool for the kids and a great show tell at school.

Also let me know if you want to participate in the gift exchange or not. If you don't have a fish extender that is OK, you can use a "gift" bag around your fish.

I was wondering who is staying the night before in Port Canaveral. We are staying the night before in Port Canaveral and it's looking like we will be at the Residence Inn. My waitlist for the Best Western hasn't come through yet.

If I think of anymore questions or suggestions I will post.

Looking forward to meeting everyone and getting on that darn ship!

Greetings from Utah,
Karen

Hello Everyone,
We will be participating in the FE, even if i just get a brown bag to hang :rotfl:
Our stateroom is 6545 and our names are
DH: Hehisler (we'll work on the pronounciation later :confused3)
Me: Ana
DS 5: Bryan
DD 3.999: Vanesa (birthday girl on June 1st)
We are soooo excited! my son woke yesterday morning and woke us up and asked if he should use his Buzz Lightyear backpack or his Lightning McQueen roller bag for the trip? Of course our answer was, go back to sleep and strongly considering keeping next vacation plans a secret.
I will not be wearing a grass skirt, sorry it doesn't look good on me, but we'll definitely meet you at the sailaway party. 4 days can't come any faster for us!

We have late dining and Palo 8pm reservation on Tuesday.

Thank you so much! :goodvibes I have updated my spreadsheet. I am sooo excited is it here yet!? :cool1:

[remlap]

It's Thursday. I can't believe the cruise booked 11 months ago is finally here.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at the Sail Away Party. I'll be the 6'4" tall guy, so easy to find in the crowd.

We're staying at the DIS board recommend Raddison. However, factoring in left coast time, we booked the 11 AM shuttle, not the first 10 AM departure.

See you at the party!

[legs22]

I'm so excited the time has arrived! I only had to wait one month though because I booked late. I have not packed one thing or even made a list. I think because it is a 4 day and not a 7 day. I packed way to much on the 7 day. You really don't need all that stuff. Just shorts and a bathing suit. Look forward to the party on Sunday. We will be celebrating my daughter's graduation from elementary school.

In 24 hours (about) we should be aboard the big red boat..:banana:
It looks like the weather may be ok, some chances of storm, but i am hoping the chances of storm occur when I am having my first dinner :snooty:

Can't wait to meet you all, safe travels to those who are travelling.
We'll be driving, about 2.5hrs drive with one stop at Downtown disney. My kitchen is empty and not doing groceries this weekend :woohoo:

It rained a lot here today starting about 4:00. Hope it is not like that Sunday because that's around sail time.

I have finally started making a list and getting stuff together.

Have a safe flight all you fliers. I just have a short drive.

We are in the middle of the packing fest as we speak. And the Iron On transfers for our fish extenders are drying (if you stop by and see, you may laugh :lmao: at the creativity we had in coming up with ours in a weeks time). BTW we have early/main dining. See you dockside at teh sail away party - if not before.
