WBPC May 6th 2013 Wonder

Nancy - thanks for the feedback! We're staying at the HIE on State Road 84 - Google Maps says about a 35 min drive - but depending on how long we spend at the grocery and/or if we share the shuttle - we'll prob be arriving closer to noon.

Our PAT is currently 11:30 - is it worth changing it to noon, or just leave it as is?

A quick dress code question - are shorts OK in the MDR for breakfast/lunch?

Oh, don't change your PAT. I just thought you might be expecting to be there and that 15-30 minutes later would disappoint you. Take your time - they do not care if you are late for your PAT.

When I went, it was a Sunday morning and I'd call it heavy traffic but we kept moving on I-95. The problem is there are a million signs and warnings about the express lanes and only being able to use them if you have the SUN transponders and that the fines would be millions of dollars if you were in those express lanes and on and on. I was trying to make sure I was way over to the right and of course that's where a lot of people were exiting and entering. And there are some slow drivers in Florida...

This time, I'm expecting the boulevard by the port to be busy since it is a Monday in downtown Miami.

Your driver will know what he's doing so that should be faster.

For those of you who have crossed the Panama Canal before... have you purchased the Order of the Ditch certificates from Tiffany Publishing? If so, were you happy with the final product? Any issues with having the Captain sign them while onboard?

I posted on FB the certificate that we got on the last PC Cruise on the Wonder from Disney. Sorry, I don't know how to post pics here.

Just go to the webpage that your picture is on and option-click or right-click to get the image address of the picture, copy it. Then click on reply in the post and then click on the small yellow box that has a mountain and a square sun in it to get the popup window where you enter that address.

I really like these - especially since Mickey signed it, too! :) This was from the 2008 cruise, right? Have they consistently given these to passengers on the recent PC crossings, too? If they have, I think I will probably skip getting the one from Tiffany Publishing and just use this instead. I like the one from Tiffany Publishing, but it is rather enormous.

Its dated January 2011.

Ha! I did the Big Red Boat back in 1993.... and that was really the last cruise I did. So, this Cruise (for me, at least) is 20 YEARS overdue! :)

Happy birthday to all those celebrating in February!!!

I have read somewhere that the character breakfast will be on one of the three days of the MDR standard rotations. Can someone tell me if this is true? I just don't want it to conflict with my Palo brunch.

Also, I have heard amazing things about the brunch, but am unsure of the dinner. I have booked dinner for Thursday, May 16, but am afraid that I will be missing out on the MDR menu if it is lobster or tenderloin. Is the Palo dinner worth it?

Any input would be appreciated.

The character breakfasts are on 3 sea days, but I don't know if they are the first 3 or spread out. I'm sure if you did happen to get assigned to the same character breakfast day as your Palo brunch that you could change the character breakfast because there is a lot of room at them. You could have my spot - I didn't really enjoy it. Just make sure that you know when the others are because if your at the third and last one, you'll need to swap to one earlier in the cruise.

book the brunch when you want and then switch either the brunch or the breakfast.

About transit certificates...This is what I created for my kids. Nothing special, just something they can get signed and later we can put it in frame.

Have fun! What a great way to kill some time before our trip :thumbsup2

I can't believe that's the last cruise you did. I'm hooked. If I had to wait that long I'd go crazy.

Have a great time. Pick out a good spot on Castaway. :beach:
 
FE update:

Just emailed out the assigned FE groups. If there are any corrections that need made then please let me know. I tried to accomodate everyone's requests. Remember the cutoff isn't until April 1 so I may be adding more groups for anyone that said they would do all rooms.
 
I really can't say in a open forum. I hope you understand. Also if this helps. Formal nights will be 3 and 13. Semi formal will be night 8 and pirates will be night 9. DCL will tell you that part. Also don't go by the navigators from Decembers cruise for menus. There is a slight difference.
