[gonecrusin]

Last cruise I go button pins from Micheals and put DIS mickey ears in them with the date of the cruise in the ears and you DIS board name in the the face area.. I had several who didn't even pick them up.. I for one would like one and hopefully others on the grou;p will join in to get one too. Please advise on the post as to your participation for a nametag so the person doing them gets a count and can do them as soon as possible.:idea:

Jamespirate:

Can you post a picture of the tag that you are talking about?

[NWmom]

Thanks for all the great information. We will be taking the morning train on Sunday. Can't wait!:yay:

That means we are going up together. Look for us to join the train at 8:30 a.m.

We'll have a border crossing party!!!

Glad to see you are doing better James, be careful it is getting to close to cruise time to get hurt.

Looking forward to the boarder crossing party on the Sunday train. Really starting to get excited. :yay:

Put us down for the name tags also.

Happy Easter! For those that don'e celebrate Easter, Happy Spring, Happy the cruise is on 30 days away! :banana:

[fireplug]

We DVR the North to Alaska shows with Larry Czonka and then watch a marathon of them when we get time. Today we have time. 3 hours of ALASKA!:cool1:

Hi All:cool1:
Thank You fro doing the FE list.. Things have been overwelming lately.. Short timers we are all.. HOPPY Easter to everyone..:dancer:NO bunnies available? Can't wait to do some people watching and pin trading on the cruise.. I have to remember not to over pack this time even though we are going for 2 weeks.. Sweat pants are a must with the 50 to 60 temps with a few dress shirts and pants .. Can't forget a dinner jacket for formal night. Leaving the tux at home this time around.. See you all later on the board..party::jumping1::disrocks:

I just know my luggage is going to be overweight being we have to bring warmer clothes. No shorts and sundresses this trip. Any day we have 50 to 60 degree weather I think, it's Alaska weather. But, is it going to feel the same? All I can say is, LAYERS.

[NWmom]

Any day we have 50 to 60 degree weather I think, it's Alaska weather. But, is it going to feel the same? All I can say is, LAYERS.

Casualness
While shopping yesterday I heard more than one person mentioning they were wearing jeans to church today- not an unusual thing here on the west coast. It just surprised me for Easter attire.

One of the hardest things for me to get used to when we moved here was the informalness of it all. East coast/southern clothes for church on Sunday were Christmas attire here. I felt overdressed until I figured it out and modified.

That's not to say people do not dress nicely here, just that there is a chic casual look. So be prepared for things to be more casual from our family.

Hubby doesn't even own a suit anymore. Except on Christmas he would be overdressed wearing one. There has been no need to replace his old one. Since his gallbladder surgery, he has been shrinking sizes. Hate to invest in a suit until he is done shrinking. Still thinking about tux rental (if I can find a nice dress.)

For ds17 that means we can get him to wear dress pants and a nice shirt. On formal night that will include a tie, no jacket. His interview look. We're happy he will wear the tie.

Both the guys found flannel dress shirts for their Alaskan look in case there is no pirate night.

DD9 will wear any dress that swirls when you turn, any chance she gets. Typical 9 yr old that loves dress up. A friend is into ballet so she inherits her "benefit event" dresses on a regular basis. She did not need dinner dresses, just everything else got too short in the last two months.

Me- I still have not even seen a dress I would wear to church back east let alone anything to wear if hubby was in a tux. Those mall stores are over an hour farther away. I will try, but the clock is ticking.

Weather
Yesterday was the first day Seattle hit 70 this year. It was a beautiful day with not a cloud in the sky. The news commented that it was the warmest day so far this year.

It was also one of the few times we have been over 60 so far as well.
I've been wearing short sleeves since we started hitting the low 50's.

So how does that translate--I went shopping for new clothes as the kids have grown again. Bought shorts and short sleeved tops. By May, my kids are usually trying to wear shorts. Shorts here means capris except for July and August when it hits the 80's. Then it really means shorts.

For me, I am thinking layers means short sleeves and a nice light shawl in the evenings. Maybe a fleece for when we go to the glacier. I will pack one sweater just in case.

Lands End sells a coat called the navigator. It's good for rain. My dd9 has one with a removable fleece liner.

My winter raincoat is jacket length with light liner. I add a fleece during winter. In spring I skip the fleece. Now it is short sleeves and this raincoat.

Light drizzle all day for rain in rainforests, not the heavy deluge you get when it rains down south.

My mom from Florida calls it "damp cold" from November to April. She borrows a sweatshirt jacket when she visits from April to June.

I hope that helps in the packing department.

I saw someone buying rain pants on the main boards- even hubby who works outside only uses his for work maybe three times a year. You won't need them.

Hi All:cool1:
Thank you Skye for the info on the weather your way.. The problem for us is that it is getting real warm, well down right hot.:sunny:. We have had tornado's all around us here just North of Dallas, TX:scared1: I am more than sure My DW will be cold as she puts a blanket on her at night as I kep 2 fans going all night in the bedroom.:laughing:I am going to spruce up the list a little so when it is printed it will look easier..Talk soon

[NWDAD]

Jim,

Were you planning on going to Whistler after the Cruise? If so be prepared for lots of snow still. As of today it is still snowing in the Cascades and most of the Ski Resorts are extending the Season int June. 10" more of the white stuff today.

Kevin

[jrp]

Hi All:cool1:
Brrr.. With snow on the ground in Whistler I don't know if we will go or not.. We are not planning on taking a heavy jacket with us, just layered clothing with a hoody for the cruise..Watching the news with all the tonado wanings going out around us here on TV right now.. The news chopper caught the wall clloud form and touch down while 3 miles away. The news caster in the chopper said they were geting small hail and were being buffeted? What the hey are you doing that close in a helicopter to a tornado. DUH.. I worked over 5 years on a BK 117 and cringed when we went out in bad weather.. :scared1:Maybe they make the big bucks for it though..lol I am going to post on one of the first cruises out of Vancouver and hope someone will save and pos their navigators for us.. ( got to take a picture of my button/pin from our last cruise)

We were just in Whistler the first week of April and the skiing was awesome. They kept getting snow at night and were definitely predicting an extended season, but don't worry, it is confined to the mountains. If you're not planning to ski you shouldn't need any warmer clothing than you bring on the cruise. It is really clear, much warmer, and not snowy in the village. I bet it'll be gorgeous by the end of May/early June. The village is fun, scenic and sometimes has awesome events going on.

[Christy May]

Looking forward to the cruise. We are so excited.
We would like to do the fish extenders we are in room 6026.
DD will be turning 24 on the boat. We are from Texas.
Flying into Vancouver on Monday the day before.:cool1::woohoo:

[NWmom]

For the person doing the FE list-- there is a possibility our room number may be changing.

We realized we had one of the coveted (by families) connecting rooms and do not need a connecting room.

So we called DCL and told them if it helped out someone we would be willing to switch rooms.

We will find out at check in if we have been moved out of 7007 or not.

We will be at the meet and greet to give the update so everyone has our room number for the FE.

[NWDAD]

I trust all are doing well. It seems that alot of folks are getting hit hard with storms and bad weather. Stay safe and I am looking forward to meeting everyone.

HI All:cool1:
I agree disnanny with the cut off.. We were going to cut off at 30 days but I feel confident that one more is not going to put us in jeopardy of sinking..lol:scared1: We have been collecting all the odds and ends for the trip ( over the door organizer,shoe organizer, etc...) Going to pack them this weekend to see what the weight is going to be so we don't go over the 50-70 range for the flight to the great white north,kachukookoo.OK Dave EH.. "The 3 Hour Alaska Tour" is getting closer to a reality and is it any WONDER that the DISer group always makes it easier..:grouphug::disrocks: Find I hope the attached pin/button I made for last cruise on the Mexican Riviera..Ole//:cool2: http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/uploads/72240/scan00032.jpg

I've been to Disney World many times, but this is my first Disney cruise. I'm looking forward to Alaska and not sure what to expect from my cruise experience. I'm travelling with friends. I think we're on deck 8. Any tips...suggestions...must dos?:goodvibes

Thanks for the advice :) Can I ask a question? What is a fish extender?

[emmielou]

Okay, we have a hotel for Sunday to Tuesday at Sutton Place.

Is anyone else there? Good deal for our room through hubby's work.

He may be sneaking on here soon. If he does you'll know because he is NWDad.

Still have to get our Amtrak tickets, but will do that at the station this week. I have some questions to ask so we will have a field trip there, (beautiful building)

Now I still have to arrange the doggie babysitter. This one might be the hardest of them all.

Skye

We too are at the Sutton Place for the weekend before the trip! I hear it's a great place to stay.

[NWmom]

That makes three of us then.

Oh- we also got the doggie babysitter lined up.

The doors on the ship have a fish decoration off to the side that the CM's use to leave you information.

A fish extender is something you hang off of your fish. There are different designs, homemade very creative (or bought off ebay like ours- but custom designed). It seems to be a DCL exclusive thing.

Groups of people meet on the boards (like here) and agree to exchange little gifts with each other throughout the cruise.

That's all I know as this is my first DCL cruise.

Skye

[disnanny]

Great explanation of the FE Skye. Emmielou check out the threads on FEs, they have a lot of useful information.

[RCDisneyFan]

Thanks for the advice :) Can I ask a question? What is a fish extender?

If you do a quick search you'll come up with lots of threads regarding how to make or buy fish extenders and FE gift ideas. We haven't been on DCL since 2005 and I don't think the FE idea had really taken off - or door decorating, for that matter.

The two times we were on DCL it was the Wonder - it's a beautiful, very manage-ably sized ship. It's like WDW though - you can't do *everything*...

Welcome to the group!

[Amy Fran]

Any tips...suggestions...must dos?:goodvibes

The must-dos depend on what you like to do. There's such an array of activities that fit every age group, personality, and lifestyle (from relaxing in the spa to dancing in a nightclub). However, if you like to laugh, the crew "talent" show on the last night is a must-see in my book!!

We found it very helpful to bring a highlighter to mark the activities we want to do each day in the daily Navigators (a newsletter you receive each night with tomorrow's schedule, restaurant hours, ashore times, etc). We also bring a power strip to use in the cabin because there are very few outlets and we get sick of unplugging and resetting everything.

I thoroughly believe in the power of being informed & prepared, so ask anything! :thumbsup2

[SLAM_C]

Hi, we have just booked this cruise few days ago; and this will be our first Disney cruise. (YAY!!) We will be travelling with my 3.5 yr old DH and 2 yr old DS and we'll be staying in cabin 6605. I was so excited when I came across this forum yesterday, and mistakenly joined the discussion on a later cruise.

Is it too late to join the FE exchange? (I didn't even know what FE was until I started reading some posts yesterday; and it is such a neat and fun idea, especially for the little ones.) However, it's totally understandable if we won't be join since we're so close to the departure date already.

We're so looking forward to be on the cruise! :)

[emmielou]

Okay so seeing as I'm new to this cruise thing I have a question?
is there a formal night for dinner on the ship? Any advice on booking restaurants and/or services before departure?

[gonecrusin]

Yes, there is a formal night and you can be fancy or not. Some people wear long gowns and tuxedos and other just nice dress cloths and jacket for the men.

Palo's is the only restaurant that you would need a reservation for and if you think you would like to dine there you could check to see if there are any available or right after you board there will be the opportunity to make a reservation. All other dining you automatically have a spot reserved.

[ChriStephanie]

This week - actually on Tuesday we'll break the 500-hour mark until we set sail! Does anyone else have the ShipMate app on their smartphone? I have a G2 and it's a nice little thing that will set you up with the itinerary, maps of each deck, excursion info and a countdown - highly recommend so far, I've heard good things this app being useful on the CruiseCritic boards for other ships so I thought I'd give it a try. Several suggest putting your phone in airplane mode (non-transmitting) and you can use at on board for maps and the ole' travel alarm clock. I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait!!!

3 weeks from tomorrow , we fly into Seattle!

They must of gotten an ear full from Disney Customers as to the problems associated with traveling to another country and then sailing to Alaska..

It even gives the position of the ship and is good for all the ships and different cruise lines--but best of all it is FREE.. I googled it as I was having problems on cruise critic finding it.. Actually went to the market and typed it in.. If you have an iphone or android it is well worth it..

Jamespirate:

p.s They need a totem pole to represent the Alaska cruise on here..

Don't have a smartphone cause it would make me feel stupid. Instead I have Steph to keep me up-to-date on things! :rolleyes1

Hi All:cool1:
I have Brain Farcts all the time and probably have partimers disease..:rotfl:
I agree with the cutoff of the FE list as we now have 3 weks to go time.. Picking out little things now.. Can't wait for the cruise:lovestruc Feeling the love for all things cruise.. Trying to get the door posters finished up and printed and have gone through the door magnets to sort out some from the last cruise.. Has anyone heard anything else on the tags for the meet?:confused3 Carry On McDuff..:woohoo:

[fireplug]

I think I may make up a new door magnet for this trip since our last ones are 5 years old........... :rolleyes1

Hi All:cool1:
Well with the official announcement that Osama Bin Laden was taken out by US Seals without loss of American Life(even with the downed helicopter) it is a glorious Monday even with the rain.. Oil has dropped and gold has dropped with the news of this also.. With 9/11 coming up on it's 10th infamy where 343 of my brothers and sisters gave their lifes saving others, it makes my soul feel a sense of relief.God Bless America..

If anyone is still looking for a reasonable hotel the night before the cruise, I used Priceline and ended up getting Coal Harbour the night before the cruise for $132 (with tax). I also have an entertainment book, so I will get reimbursed $20 with a mail in rebate. It was the 4 star hotel listed for that date. Very excited!

Well, I originally volunteered to make tags and than it sounded like someone else was going to do it. Didn't want to step on anyones toes if they really wanted to do it. Did you get any response as to who wanted one and who didn't. Looks like if everyone wanted one there would be over 90. Now I have my brain cells flowing :idea:

Hello all,
I've been reading a blog by someone posting from onboard the Wonder repositioning cruise. She is taking a B2B and will also be on the May 3rd Alaskan cruise. Hopefully she'll be blogging that too.

Some of you may have heard the rumor that there might not be a Pirate night on the Alaskan cruises. (Too cold on deck, they can't have fireworks, pirates in Alaska doesn't make sense...) Apparently DCL is not sure either because some of the booking operators say yes and some no. Well, this blogger asked the Wonder Head of Food & Beverage about it and this is what he told her.

"On the Alaska cruises they will have a warm specialty drink every night. Instead of the Pirate Night menu there will be a Taste of Alaska menu. The Pirate Night dessert buffet will be in Beach Blanket Buffet, like it was last night (too cold to do it on deck!). And on the day we cruise Tracy Arm Fjord there will be a BBQ lunch available on deck 9."

Ha! Great minds think alike! I was just reading Laura's blog and came over to post the exact same quote! :) I'm so glad she's posting from the inaugural cruise! I feel I'll be better prepared by reading about her & Deb's experiences. :goodvibes

Hi All:cool1:
Gonecruisin, I posted an old button/pin I did for the last cruise but, due to my health I have not had the time to do them for everyone.. I have not had any response for the tags and it would not be a bad idea to just do peel and sticks for the meet and greets.. You have too much do as it is to get ready for the cruise.. I may have broke my foot and will find out when I go to the doc in a couple of days.. I have had a boot on my foot for the last 3 cruises.. Not this time I hope.. At least I will not have to miss the beach at Castaway Cay.lol

Hi James,

Looking forward to meeting you. Yay!
I can pick up sticky name tags for the meet & greet if you like.

I updated Amy Fran room #.
Going to check out the news in the morning to see if they show the Wonder in Vancouver...I was thinking of driving to Skagway on Friday but you can't get very close to the cruise ships at the port.

[Diannah]

Looking forward to the cruise. We are so excited.
We would like to do the fish extenders we are in room 6026.
DD will be turning 24 on the boat. We are from Texas.
Flying into Vancouver on Monday the day before.:cool1::woohoo:

I can't seem to find how many are in your group? I'm trying to get my FE list up to date and as detailed as I can. :rotfl:

[NWmom]

I was thinking of driving to Skagway on Friday

I see you are from Yukon. I'm teaching a class to 3rd - 5th graders on the Klondike Gold Rush. The original teacher had to move after the 2nd week, since I was learning a bit about it for our trip, I became the new teacher.

Last week the kids wore weighted backpacks and hiked the Chilkoot Trail by way of an obstacle course around campus and over the big toy. Two "died" by misjudging a jump and falling down a huge crevass (4 inches off the curb). One decided to give up the trip due to the first trip over being so hard.

In class tomorrow we make boats from craft sticks to "travel" from Bennett Lake to Dawson City.

Could you give me a current weather report from the Yukon as an "official eyewitness" ?

Hi Everyone,

I saw the Disney Wonder at Canada Place this morning as I was coming to work !

What port arrival time did everyone choose ?

We chose 11:30 am since we are local.

Can't wait to explore the ship & have lunch before everyone boards.

Only 3 more weeks...yippee

I think I missed the info on the M&G.

When & where are we having it ?


Cruisingly Yours

the current weather in Whitehorse at 8:00 pm is 8 degrees celsius, That converts to 46 degrees fahrenheit. the sun is now setting at about 10:00 pm.

Is there anything we could pick up for you and bring. Our grandson just finished a presentation on the Gold Rush, he is in grade 3.

[NWmom]

Seems the ship will not be doing the inside passage after all, :confused:. It is going west around Vancouver Island based on today's reports.

A positive is that means we will going through the Juan de Fuca straight. I am going to do some checking, but I think that means we might see the local orca pods on the day we board!!

Time to start looking for my binoculars. Will need them to see any wildlife from sea, Plus I wanted them anyway.

Saw our 3 neighborhood bald eagles this afternoon. It was wet and rainy at noon and warm and sunny by 3pm. Enough to make me want short sleeves after the chilly morning. Last year I was going sleeveless by now.

I expect the first sunburn of the year tomorrow. (redheads don't tan they burn and peel) Off to find the sunhats to avoid scalp burn. School is having a fundraiser for Skin so soft sunscreen/insect repellent. Might buy some for our trip.

Here is tonight's weather report. Short and sweet. http://www.komonews.com/weather/

Yea, :cool1: finally a nice sunny day in the Pacific NW!!! I hope we get lots of these for our cruise. Less than 20 days to go. Can't wait.:banana:

Sorry it took me so long to get back on here but yesterday I took my DW to get a cortisone shot due to suddenly having numbness in her right arm. Her x-rays from Monday showed something wrong in her c-spine area(neck). I got her in with my pain specialist who did my back and he said it is more likely arthritis in c-6.. She will probably have another shot before the cruise to get more relief (we hope) Unfortunately it is something she will have to get confirmed with a mri soon.. I go today to my podiatrist for my foot and I have my fingers and toes crossed as the swelling has gone down some since I have been off of it.. As far as the tags go I saw where someone was working on them but I could not get anyone who listed they wanted one made.. If (sorry I didn't research the name first) the person does not say anything more the stick and peels would be fine.. Will post later this evening..

I put the right cabin # and put the names given Dawn for the list.. I did not go to the doc as the swelling has gone down some, just bruised, and I refuse to get a cast or boot for the cruise.. I don't mind pirate night but I will not be a permanent pirate with the leg..lolpirate: DW had the shot and it has helped her and she will probably get another before the cruise so she will have good relief. Looking into a fishing trip:earseek: in Ketchikan and was wondering has anyone else booked one for the cruise? I love to fish, just din't like to eat fish. Crustaceans are gookd though.. Tags are cool even if you don't make the first meet as we plan on one at the Tracey Arm Fjord, which we will plan on at the first M&G. We can go around after the first M&G to use post it notes on your doors with a time and place:grouphug:.. Talk Later

Do we pick up at name tags at the M&G ( I don't when & where this is, BTW )

[jrp]

Hi Teensum:cool1:
The M&G willbe at 2:00pm in the promenade lounge on the same deck you board on.. It is around the corner from the main dining area.. We are also going to have another M&G on Wed. which we will schedule after the main M&G. Probably the same place due to the weather? We will have to see on the first day..

HI All:cool1:
I agree disnanny with the cut off.. We were going to cut off at 30 days but I feel confident that one more is not going to put us in jeopardy of sinking..lol:scared1: We have been collecting all the odds and ends for the trip ( over the door organizer,shoe organizer, etc...) Going to pack them this weekend to see what the weight is going to be so we don't go over the 50-70 range for the flight to the great white north,kachukookoo.OK Dave EH.. "The 3 Hour Alaska Tour" is getting closer to a reality and is it any WONDER that the DISer group always makes it easier..:grouphug::disrocks: Find I hope the attached pin/button I made for last cruise on the Mexican Riviera..Ole//:cool2: http://photopost.wdwinfo.com/uploads/72240/scan00032.jpg

James: What program did you use to create the design?

[NWmom]

If DIS names are going on the tags.

NW Mom (Skye) is claiming that NW Dad is her Kevin.
And Katie is going by Katie again.

I will say that I just realized we only have 2 weekends left to get everything on the to do list done before we head out. ACCCKKKK!!!

Why is it we women decide to go on an unrealistic spring cleaning frenzy right before a vacation?
I have decided I am just plumb nuts. Now thinking about which projects can just wait until we get back.

NW Mom (Skye) is claiming that NW Dad is her Kevin. Would that be Kevin 'The Great'?
And Katie is going by Katie again. Wait you had originally posted Kitty and Kate and now it's Katie. Should I bring stickers so we can change it if needed? I have 2 girls, I understand completely.

So in the event you have a fire the fire department won't think you are not a good housekeeper. It's kind of like wearing clean underwear just in case you get in a accident type of thinking.

Take a breath when you get on that ship you will be leaving all your cares on the dock and than you can deal with it when you return. Of course, than you will need another vacation.

[Swalkerwoman]

We are second-time DCL passengers but "veterans" for multiple Disney vacations. I guess we must have been living "under rocks" for all of these years but just have found out about FE's (lol)! I know our cruise is a little over two weeks away but wanted to know if it is too late to participate? :)

She signs her name Katie so we should go with that. Yet you never know what whim for a name will be next.

LOL The fire department knows I'm a good baker so they won't care if my house is messy. It's the dog sitter I am worried about, lol. :laughing::rotfl:

But thanks for helping me get grounded again.

I planned for more than 12 so I would be happy to put you on my FE list. I'm doing the name tags for the M&G so if you give me the names in your party I will include your family.

Welcome!

[disnanny]

I also have planned on a few extras. It was agreed to cut off the list at 30 days out, so I'm not sure if you will be added to the "official" list, but I am sure most that are participating are planning on a few extras.

What cabin are you in?

Welcome:dance3:

I didn't end up going to Skagway yesterday to see the Wonder, the webcam from WP&YR had a great shot of her:love: looked a bit chilly (for us from the North it probably would have been perfect weather:laughing:)

Thanks so much for letting us join the FE so late ! We really appreciate it and my daughter and I are looking forward to it !
There will be three of us in our cabin, my husband Scott and my daughter Leigha (21) and of course me, Sue. :dance3: We will be staying in cabin 8036.
Please let me know if there is any other info you might need. As you can tell, we're "new" to this activity !

Hi everyone. My name is Beth and I'm traveling with a party of 7 on the May 24th cruise to Alaska. Sorry I'm late to the party. Thanks for all the work you've done - Still so much for me to learn. We're Disney Vacation Club members and we've been on three other cruises but first time on the Wonder and first time to Alaska. Can't wait.
I see that it's too late for the Fish Extender but we'd love to participate. We will bring gifts for our girls to share - usually it's more fun to give than receive.
We will have three girls in our party - age 9, 10 and 12. Staterooms 2038 and 2036.
I'll read through the posts and see what questions I have.

Nice to "meet" everyone - looking forward to a great trip :cool1:

Seems as if we'll be neighbours. We'll be in #8034. Looking forward to meeting you. My friend's daughter is traveling with us and her daughter is 22. Perhaps Leigha and Kati can hang out?
See you in a couple of weeks!

[Diannah]

Hi all!

The FE gift that I'm planning will probably be too big to fit in FE pockets, and might just be a bit too tempting (and easy) for someone other than the cabin occupants to walk off with. Would anyone be upset if I used a zip tie to attach it to either your FE or the fish itself? You'd just need a knife, nail clippper or pair of scissors to remove it.

Let me know what you think....

(Starting to get really excited now!)
:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

I planned for extras too. NP here!

[NWmom]

I know what I am getting for my FE so I am okay with adding.

Mine work best with multiple of 3 for number of cabins.

I'll have hubby pack his zip tie remover tool.

I would like a list that includes the names and ages of the kids as I was hoping to do something on that end as well.

Welcome Beth, we're DVC too. Quite a few of us actually it seems.

The meet and greet is 2 pm promenade lounge the day we leave.

I have a daughter age 9 as well. She is going to be so glad to know there will be others her age and not everyone will be in school.

Hello Neighbor !
We are counting the days till the cruise ! :cloud9: We are busy making our first FE, and I'm sure it won't be as great as most of the others will be ! (lol):headache: Leigha will be pleased to hear that there will be other young adults on the cruise. :cheer2: She really wanted to go to Alaska with us, but at their age I'm sure hanging with mom and dad all the time could be a little bit of a drag!

We fly to Seattle in TWO WEEKS! :cool1: Hoping that at least ONE day there is a sunny day (but not counting on it) May be awhile before we return so I want some great pics!

Looks like more than just us are getting excited.

We bought extra FE gifts too so we're fine with adding a few more to our list.

We have a 12 year old daughter too. (& age 10 son) It looks like there are more older kids than younger in the M&G list so maybe that means the kid clubs won't be very crowded. :woohoo:

See u all soon!

[Diannah]

I'm happy to add the two groups to the FE, too. I did get extras, just in case. ;) (Oh, and is the family with two cabins going to have one or two FE's?) So far only one person has said anything about my zip tying the gift to their FE, so as long as I don't suddenly get a flood of comments saying no, that's what I'll plan on.

SO looking forward to this!!! :yay: Haven't had a real family vacation since '04, and between shows and working full time, my biggest worry is that I'm going to sleep through the whole trip!!! :rotfl: "Just" two more weeks to go - 80 hours of work, two more performances :dance3:, strike, and an audition.

Not to mention packing. And prepping all the critters for the house sitter. And if we're packing, that also means lots of :laundy:

Yep, probably sleeping most of the trip! :laughing::lmao::rotfl2:

Hello everyone.. we are getting so so close now.

Squid,

The way the weather here in the Pacific NW has been the last few weeks it has been one sunny day a week with 3 - 4 rainys in the week. Yesterday had some real down poors with pea size hail.

The sunny days however have been beautiful and in the 60's. Makes the rainy days not so bad :cool2:

Happy Mothers day to all.

Hi All:cool1:
I use Print Shop for all my designs for the cruise. I tried to use Office and really found I was limited on the fonts. Welcome to all the new folks on the group.("3 Hour Alaska Tour") If you would give me your info,cabin# and names in your crew, I would gladly update the list which I will hand out at the M&G on the 24th. My DW and I will probably go around to others who could not make the first day M&G and leave the list at your room provided. Looking at the boat at Tracy Arm Fjord almost make me nervous due to the hull thickness and somthing they call the can opener effect..lol I have full faith of no incident occurrence on the Wonder.. Need to finish and refine the packing next week as we are constantly changing our list in the suitcases...
Any color shirt will do for me Steve..

Hi All:cool1:
Is anyone else carrying some Alcohol on the Wonder.. We will probably be bringing some Crown Royal or some other local liqueur on board.. Something to mix or to do straight up with a smooth result.. Second question is to find out if there is a liqueur store in Vancouver-I would hopefully think so, this way we can secure it before the cruise after our flight.. 16 days and a bottle of RUM- Yo Ho Yo HO a sailors life for mepirate: AAArRRgggghhh Me maties-Sailin the Alaskan Blue. Shiver me timbers as there be Whales in them there waters..:woohoo:

Hi James
There will be lots of liquor stores in Vancouver. www.bcliquorstores.com/store/locator
There are also beer and wine outlets too. Lots to choose from :)

[disnanny]

there is a great pic of the Wonder in Ketchikan on the webcam. You need to go to the second pic

We will be bringing some Alcohol on the boat also. I am told it has to be carried on
in a bag. We fly in the day before so we should have plenty of time to find a store.

My DD, a confirmed Disneyholic has planned a wonderful cruise for us.
My DH and I are 2 of a party of eight. Our party is scattered over the ship and our room # is 7550. I've had a lifelong dream to cruise Alaska and can't wait to go.

You made it to the right spot, if you're taking the May 24th cruise! Are you a life-long Louisianian? I grew up in Shreveport, although I now live in Minnesota. If you've never spent much time "up north", I can give you some pointers on clothing, etc., since I've made the switch from deep south to "frigid north". :rolleyes1:laughing:

Hi all,

I've been reading a blog by Laura Gilbreath on AllEars.net. She is currently on the inaugural Alaskan cruise. While she still has another day and a half to go there is already plenty to read. She has posted some great information about the ports, dining rotation, menu changes, show schedule, a few excursions and more. Plus there are lots of pics. Check it out. http://land.allears.net/blogs/lauragilbreath/
The first Alaskan cruise post is labeled Day 7. She took the repositioning cruise before the Alaskan one. The repositioning cruise is fun to read about too.

I feel bad, but I do not have enough FE gifts to include Bethd5. :guilty: I made 12 which, when the list was cut off, I had several extras but, even if I ordered more materials, they wouldn't be here in time. I will try to at least scrounge up things for the kids but you won't have a homemade gift from me. --Amy

No worries - Amy
We realize we're late to the party.

Look forward to meeting your family

Wow, after all that good food I just know I am going to gain weight.

Which leads me to another thing we will be celebrating on the cruise that we just found out about.

Broderick just got accepted to culinary school for next school year!!!

They had a mandatory meeting for 6:30 pm May 24th, or they would lose their spot. 200 applicants only 40 chosen.

We got an exemption. Just have to bring one menu home.

The homework is going to be so hard to help him with:wishforty.

I have a question about the FE gifts.
Is it ok to give a "package" of assorted things in each FE on a couple of
days ? I dont have enough home made things for each person every day.
I have never done the FE before but I have always wanted to.
I just want to make sure I am doing enough, dont want anyone upset
about what they get.....
I hope to finish most of my gifts tonight..
Cant wait to meet all of you.

Christy, don't worry about it, I don't think it's about getting things right and not having people upset at you.

I have put together one (1) package per cabin, some of the stuff is homemade other things are from where we live, oops don't want to spoil things.
I am getting excited about delivering them and hopefully everyone likes what is in the package.

All I know is this was so much fun to plan and gather stuff.:yay:

I agree with Disnanny - it's not about getting it right. It seems to me everyone does FE gifts differently. I don't have time to do something really crafty and even NYC trinkets add up - so mine is semi-homemade and every cabin gets the same thing.

As best I can tell, it's mostly about the excitement of returning to your stateroom to find a surprise waiting for you... and the thrill of tip-toeing through the hallways to quietly drop your gifts of for others. :goodvibes

When Bethd5 joined our group, the post they sent indicated they knew they were to late to join but were looking forward to meeting everyone. Some had indicated they have finished their gifts and or only ordered enough to cover the original iist. I haven't added them to the list but you never know what you may find in your FE.

This is the name tag list as of this morning (5/11). There are a few Dis-ers that I don't have names for and you know who you are :rolleyes1 (see the bolded ones). If you will just let me know by Saturday 5/14 so I can get them wrapped up I would appreciate it. Thanks!

[WANNABE@WDW]

I noticed a few disers have dd's around the age of 10 to 12. Which club are your girls going to? We have never cruised before, so I don't really know what to expect out of the kids programs (it's Disney so I know it has to be great... right?) My daughter is a very "social" type and likes to stay busy. I think she would prefer the tween club, but I guess we will just have to wait and see. I didn't post our room number on the previous posts, we are in room 8534. We are getting really excited about the trip, but it is very hectic around here with all of the end of school year activities. Are any of y'all dressing up for pirate night?

Not a big deal, but my DS is actually 2 instead of 1. (I've updated the list above); and we'll include Bethd5 in our FE list as well.

Now I'm getting my 3 year old DD all excited about getting onto the cruise as well.

Thanks again!

Are you making name tags? :confused3 I am waiting for the last couple of cabins that I don't have names for and will be all done. I used Print Master or something like that. It looks simular to the one you posted earlier. It says Alaska of course. I also did something a little special if I knew someone was celebrating a BD or Anniversary or Graduation. Hope this is acceptable.

Hi Susan:cool1:
I was not going to make name tags for the cruise.. I have not spent too much time on the computer due to my health.. Print Master is a good program.. They are both for Broderbund and will do the same purpose..I have been trying to find more posts of the Alaska cruise but np luck so far.. I am sure to find more as they get home and settled back in..

By the way, what is mean meet at M&G? and what is FE mean?

[RCDisneyFan]

By the way, what is mean meet at M&G? and what is FE mean?

M&G means Meet and Greet

FE is an abbreviation for Fish Extender

[NWmom]

By the way, what is mean meet at M&G? and what is FE mean?

Meet at the (M&G) Meet and Greet- we are all planning to meet each other at 2pm at the promenade lounge

FE= Fish Extender. This is a gift exchange list.
Fish Extenders are pockets that extend from the Fish that hangs beside each door. People that signed up for the gift exchange leave small gifts for each other. They are also great for leaving notes etc for members of your family to find each other.

Today was field trip day for my Klondike class.

This was the first time I had been to the new Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park in the old Cadillac Hotel. Beautiful new 2 story facility. Upstairs is all about Seattle's part in the Gold Rush and downstairs is dedicated to Alaska and Canada's part.
Wonderful addition to our class. Highly recommended. Many hands on exhibits for my group of touch and feel it learners. Free

Then we went on a 2 hour cruise on the Queen of Seattle paddleboat, similar to what might have been used to get to the Klondike for the Gold Rush.

Beautiful sunny day in the low 60's, slighty windy on the water. Kids enjoyed it. Men enjoyed the Salloon girl/singer/tour guide. Also, Dan the piano player and the actual player piano. Entrance fees apply.

Just more great ideas for those with some time in Seattle.

[DVC_Corrys]

Ok, super nerdy question... Anyone heading out on this cruise will to pick up the special Vinylmation they have for the cruise? It is a Mickey totem and I am in love with it. I will of course pay you for figure, shipping, etc. I also will send a gift from Disneyland for your trouble!

Let me know.

Please look at your info and provide me with the info for the Meet & Greet.. If you can't make the first day I will provide you the 2nd day Meet and Greet on your room door.. This is it my friends as we are getting too close to the day of the "3 Hour Alaska Tour". :dance3:

Jamespirate:

James: I made the changes to your list that I knew of. #29 Bethd5 added additional people I can't remember their relationship to her at the moment. #30 Sheldon and Angie got their own screen name, they were in WANNABE@WDW so I removed them.

We are coming down the wire. Only 3 more work days for me! :banana:

[Dawncala]

I noticed a few disers have dd's around the age of 10 to 12. Which club are your girls going to? We have never cruised before, so I don't really know what to expect out of the kids programs (it's Disney so I know it has to be great... right?) My daughter is a very "social" type and likes to stay busy. I think she would prefer the tween club, but I guess we will just have to wait and see. I didn't post our room number on the previous posts, we are in room 8534. We are getting really excited about the trip, but it is very hectic around here with all of the end of school year activities. Are any of y'all dressing up for pirate night?

Hi Wannabe,
I have a DD who is 12. We did a 4 night cruise before and my kids both loved the Lab. This time DD is excited about going to the tween club, which is new on the Wonder. I also pre-signed her up for the Lab too so she can go in with our DS (10) if there are activities in there that interest her. My DD and DS are also both really social so we'll have introduce the kids. We're going to try to be at the official M&G at the Promenade Lounge Tuesday, but if we don't make it feel free to pop by our room to say hi. (room 8000)
-Dawn

Sorry to barge in on your thread.....but is anyone doing the ABD add-on for this cruise? Just curious as to when you rec'd your 'document's from them and what all was included?

Thanks,

There seems to be multiple lists on this thread. I see one that is called the "3 hour Alaska Tour"......what is that list? Then there is another list for FE's..... :confused:
Silly me, I'm new to this and am looking for the FE master list to finalize all my gifts for the cruise. Can someone please clarify this for me?

The above list is those that are participating in FE.

The "3 hour Alaska Tour" is James name for the complete list of everyone from this group. If you want an FE list with names let me know and I will send it to you. There is another list and that is titled Name Tags and it is what it says. It lists the screennames and given names and I am making name tags for the M&G to make it easier to identify each other. Hope this didn't muddy the waters. :thumbsup2

Thanks, Susan! I think it's a little clearer now. I would like the final FE list with names , ages and staterooms on it. I'm just trying to finalize all of the FE goodies and want to "double-check" the numbers ! My e-mail is Swalkerwoman@aol.com :)

[disnanny]

Hi, that is why I moved the FE participants to this thread There seemed to be a number of different lists out there. Susan is doing the name tags (thanks Susan) and I had been keeping track of the FE participants.

I plan on bringing extra lists of participants with me, but if for some reason I don't make the M&G or others who have signed up aren't there, I don't want them to miss out having a list.

#436 is the final list of FE participants. I wanted to bold Bethd5 as they asked about joining after the cut off, this is in case the great DISers out there planned for a few extras gifts

see everyone Tuesday. The weather is supposed to be great

[fireplug]

Looking forward to our final week of planning. Sounds like those doing the FE's will have fun. I am looking forward to a M&G or two.

Squid

[teemsum]

Next Tuesday, it'll be our turn !

YIPPEE !!!


Cruisingly Yours

[Christy May]

Can you send me the final list of FE folks also. cmay64@hotmail.com
Thanks.

[Bethd5]

Hello everybody
I'm Bethd5
We're a party of 7 with three girls, ages 9, 10 and 12. We're actually in rooms 2038 and 2040. We'll have bags out for both rooms, two girls in 2038 and one in 2040. I totally understand if you didn't plan for three extra - but I have printed out the list and we'll be sharing gifts throughout the week. It's always fun to share with new friends!
Can't believe we'll be onboard next week. Thanks for all the information and posts.

[Bethd5]

Just a quick change on Bethd 5
We're in 2038 - two DD ages 9 and 12
2040 is one DD age 10

Thanks

Anyone besides me convinced there's no way in heck they're going to get everything done by leaving time????

The FE's are done. I DO know how to prioritize...:rotfl:

[Warbluzki]

Who has the 'official' FE list?
disnnany, jrp, someone else?

[Warbluzki]

I am totally confused about the FE list and the "3 hour Alaskan Cruise list" Are they combined to form the total FE list? If not, what is the "3hr Alaskan Cruise List"?::confused:: We were under the impression that the we were on the FE list and now it seems as if we aren't, but are on a "3 hour Alaskan cruise list" What's up?

[actownley]

actownley = Angie & Sheldon, room 7550

:banana: My Custom FE arrived today. Soo excited!! Woohoo!!! :banana:

The 3 hour Alaskan Cruise List is a list of who is on this thread that is going on the cruise(jrp's list). It has room numbers so jrp can drop off info on the meet and greets.

The FE list is those that signed up for the gift exchange. This list closed a month before the cruise. disnanny has been keeping it updated.

The name tag list is for those that signed up for name tags that were expecting to make the meet and greet at 2pm in the Promenade lounge.
gonecruisin is doing these. I am pretty sure that list is also now closed.

I love it!

I am also sittiing here pouting and furious as our custom FE should have been here by May 13 wqith our pillowcase. It is still awol. The vendor did not even start making it until Monday!!! (insert head banging emoticon here:headache:) It was mailed on Tuesday.

I am hoping against hope it shows up tomorrow morning. Not sure why I bothered to order it so far in advance for my piece of mind to have to worry about it even arriving before we leave. I did my part.

So if you see a bag hanging from our fish, you will know why. Pout pout.

Susan, you can tell me on the train on the way up!!
Look for us to board at about 8:30 (Everett).

You'll know us by hubby's Disney jean jacket. There shouldn't be that many boarding at the Everett Station on a Sunday morning, but you never know- they have the baggage service at that station.

We will get to pass our house on the way!

I have finished this for the week:teacher:

and now have my second job to do tomorrow:laundy::laundy:

The update list for the M&G is almost done and I wish everyone would respond with their missing info..

James

[RCDisneyFan]

Is anyone else participating in Formal Night? We are - full nine yards - Gown & Tux. :-)

[jrp]

Hi All:cool1:
We decided to skip the tux and gown and just wear jacket with a tie.. not enough room for all of it and fly by their standards. Money honey..Maybe the next cruise we can drive and carry what we want.. Finished the FE gifts and now we are trying to pack them in.. lol still not enough room.. What to take out now?

Jamespirate:

[Diannah]

Is anyone else participating in Formal Night? We are - full nine yards - Gown & Tux. :-)

My daughter and I will be dressed to the 9's. Hubby's still deciding, but probably no tux. I keep telling him he should wear his formal kilt...:rotfl:

[WANNABE@WDW]

We (dd's and I) are wearing formals and husband is wearing his suit and tie. My mom is wearing a formal and dad is wearing a tux. We will also be dressing for dinner (unless we get back late from an excursion). By the way we arrived in Vancouver today, it took almost 2 hours to get our luggage. Evidently customs was running slow, they kept announcing over the pa how sorry they were for the delay. But no worries... it is VACATION!!!!!!!

[fireplug]

Coleen will have a dress and I will be in a tux!

Next time I check in will be from SEATTLE! I hope evryone else has safe travels too!

Squid

[NWmom]

Next time I check in will be from SEATTLE!

Well, I am checking in from Seattle, but that's nothing new. I live near there. We are supposed to have beautiful weather on Tuesday.

First good news--- My FE arrived!!!!!! Not customized the way we asked/ordered, but it will work so that's good enough.

I finally found shoes to wear to go with my dress that are comfortable!!

Packing tonight to take the train up tomorrow. My next check in will be the meet and greet.

[Con5421]

Hello, i'm not on this cruise but like to ask if anybody can look on the ship if Alex from The Netherlans is working on the ship. He's headchef in the buffet.

Thanks,
Connie

[RCDisneyFan]

We don't fly out until tomorrow..

I know it's late (should've mentioned this last week..) I could use a gym buddy to keep me honest during the cruise. I'm not an athlete - just don't want to gain! Let me know if anyone's up for it.:)

I might be able to take you up on that. Depends on how often and when you want to go. And if my body allows it. (Got some chronic issues that sometimes preclude working out.) What sort of workout schedule are you thinking?:yay:

I'm thinking workouts on sea days. I live on the east coast - so I'll probably be up early (at least for me!) to go before breakfast. I've heard someone saw whales from the fitness center - so maybe that'll be an extra incentive. :lmao:

[teemsum]

Safe travels, everyone !

I, too, plan to hit the gym and/or the promenade deck a few times while on board so we'll have to meet up!

And someone else asked about formal night... My gown & Steve's 3-piece suit are packed! (Our pirate clothes fit, too!) We leave in 3 hours!!!! :cloud9: We'll see everyone at the M&G tomorrow - TOMORROW!! :cheer2::banana::dance3:

Is today the slowest day ever or what?
See everyone soon. Safe travels.

don't know how early I'll be able to get up, but since we'll be 3 hours later than I'm used to, maybe it will work.....

Or maybe I'll just sleep the entire cruise...:rotfl:

[happyDSL]

Safe travels, everyone !


Cruisingly Yours

I am Seattle airport now. Frontier airline lost my baggage. I still wait for next flight to get my baggage. I am plan to drive to Vancouver tomorrow. I hope I will get my baggage. :sad2::guilty:

[gonecrusin]

The four of us (John, Em, Lauren and myself) are home safe. Left ChriStephanie (Chris and Steph) at the airport waiting for their flight to continue on to Rochester. Unpacking is the part I hate the most about vacation. The weather here is MD is crazy hot, upper 90's. We couldn't have asked for better weather the entire trip. It was nice meeting everyone and we would like to thank all the FE participants for the surprises almost everyday. :grouphug:

[Dawncala]

What a great trip! :thumbsup2 We really enjoyed meeting many of you and seeing you around the ship throughout the week. I hope everyone had a wonderful time, took some gorgeous photos and made amazing memories. (Was anyone else considering barricading themselves in their room and not leaving Tuesday?)

Many thanks to our fish extender group. You all came up with some very creative items and we really enjoyed finding our souvineer surprises every day.

Now back to our regularly scheduled life. :sad1:

[NWDAD]

Hi Ho Hi Ho Off To Work I go.:sad1::sad1::sad1::sad1:
Dreaming of the next one.

NWdad

[Diannah]

Thanks, everyone, for all the great FE gifts! What fun! Sorry we couldn't make any of the M&Gs. Too much going on!

I, too, HATE unpacking. But it's all done. Did anyone else come home :sick:? I somehow managed to come home with a nasty cold! yuck! But I'd still go back in a heartbeat if I could afford it. What beautiful weather!

And get this - We stayed for several hours in Vancouver after the cruise. We were in Stanley Park and could see the Wonder as the sail away party kicked into gear. The weather was beautiful, bright sunny skies and warm. We heard the ship's horn, and watched as she pulled out and headed out for the next cruise. Within 45 min, it clouded over and started drizzling.

No lie!

[Christy May]

What an AWESOME vacation. The weather was perfect. Could not have
asked for any better weather. The FE gifts were great, thanks
to everyone for the wonderful gifts. The Disney scrap book paper
for the Disney cruise was great. I took mine to guest services and had
signatures but on mine. Thanks for all the cool gifts.
Sorry we missed both M & G's, time got away from us on both of them.
ready to book my next cruise....
everyone have a great rest of the week.
:love:

[disnanny]

we got home, laundry is done, suitcases put away:sad:we booked another cruise while on board, so it is something to look forward to. We wanted to stay so bad and just sail forever, we are wondering who is sleeping in "our bed" and hoping they are enjoying the cruise as much as we did. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Thank you everyone for the FE gifts they were awesome, it was great meeting everyone.

Love the name tags, Susan thanks for doing this for our group. It was great to see them around the ship

[RCDisneyFan]

don't know how early I'll be able to get up, but since we'll be 3 hours later than I'm used to, maybe it will work.....

Or maybe I'll just sleep the entire cruise...:rotfl:

Sorry I didn't actually meet you at the M&G the first day! I only managed to get myself to the gym once. :-P

Great cruise, everyone!!

[NWmom]

Sorry I didn't actually meet you at the M&G the first day! I only managed to get myself to the gym once. :-P

Great cruise, everyone!!

I never made it to the gym despite my good intentions (the raffle does not count), but then again I climbed the stairs unless I had heels on so that counts!!

Did anyone else come home :sick:?
Yes, dd9 has not been well. Running a fever and missing her Disney Cruise friends. She has PDCS (Post Disney Cruise Syndrome)

I'm finally caught up on sleep. Still working on the laundry and unpacking.

I had to go see a new baby as soon as I got home!!!:lovestruc

Skye

[fireplug]

WOW what a trip! We have been on the go since we returned!
THANK YOU so much for the two great magnets! They are on the fridge already!
James thanks for the t-shirt I will wear it at the station one of these days.
It was good to meet the couple of you that we did. Unfortunately we were too late arriving at port. And then we went down for the second one didnt see a group and later found James was right near us and we didnt know it.
Looking forward to Dec and our 3 day on the Dream!

Squid

[Amy Fran]

This is the first chance I've had to get on the boards since we got back! Busy, busy, busy! But - wow! - what a great trip!! :cool1: We were sad to have missed the first m&g but the name tag buttons were GREAT to identify people while we were out & about on the ship. Thanks for making them! And thanks to everyone for the FE gifts! This was the first time we've ever participated and it was so fun to come "home" to things waiting in our extender! Now I have to figure out when & where our next cruise will send us! :goodvibes Maybe we'll be sailing together again soon... --Amy

[NWmom]

Amy,
The dinner photo of you two turned out great. Send me a messge with where to email it to.

Skye

A P.S. funny-- school had its Spring Concert last night. As we got changed before going we felt like we were getting ready for our evening show-- same start time as on ship!

I previously stated that I would be uncomfortable with having people wait on me if I ever won the lottery. I have now decided that I could adapt to being waited on hand and foot very easily. :)

The key is to never stop appreciating those who take care of you.
Thank you to all the Disney employees who made this a very pleasurable cruise after a very hard year.
