    Wonderful Panama Canal Sept 2014

    Checked last year's dates and there was one on September 27 which was a Friday. It was actually the first one of the event. I cruised on the Wonder Panama Canal cruise in September 2013 and would love to go again. Waiting to see if by chance if a price drop happens. If not, not a problem...

    Just an FYI for all who are going on the pre-arranged RanCan Hobby bus. The printed signs are neon orange and read: RanCan Hobby. Hoping our transport group can, at one point, get together on board. Great "THANKS" to Randy for scoping out and reserving our Hobby airport transport. I...

    Oh, my! Upon reading your post, I really did a heavy sigh! Hope nothing too serious for your husband that can't wait to be addressed until after the cruise. After all of the hoop jumping your family has already done, hoping this has a Disney ending. Praying for you all. :flower3:

    Panama Canal Eastbound Sept. 14, 2013--it'll be WONDER-ful

    Shout out of "THANK YOU!" to Twokats (Kathy) for keeping track of the FE exchange, postcard/recipe exchange, and wine tasting lists. Sounds to me like she exemplifies the adage, If you want something done, ask a busy person. For Kathy: pixiedust: The latest updated FE list is compiled by...

    Panama Canal Eastbound Sept. 14, 2013--it'll be WONDER-ful

    sinado4, Did you receive a small spiral bound booklet from DCL? If so, your luggage tags are in the pocket of that booklet. Since they assigned the cabins so late, I had to write the cabin number on them with a Sharpie in the blank provided. Not sure if you made your arrangements with a...

    I had no idea DCL did not allow these. I've never had one. Just curious as to why these are banned.

    When Rita says she's packed, she really is!! Was at her house yesterday, and her suitcases were already zipped. :dance3: Of course we went to the outlet mall for one last trip to the Disney store, so that means a few adjustments. She has motivated me, so today that's what I've been doing...

    Panama Canal Eastbound Sept. 14, 2013--it'll be WONDER-ful

    I am a rookie to the FE and Postcard/recipe exchanges. I had sent Kathy (twokats) a PM with our cabin number, but couldn't figure out why no updated list was being sent. The light bulb did not go on until someone posted on Facebook about the updated FE list. It then occurred to me to go and...

    That would be so cool. Didn't know this was a possibility. Hope they do have a "Guest Performer".

    Panama Canal Eastbound Sept. 14, 2013--it'll be WONDER-ful

    Ouch, ouch, ouch...hope you are not in too much pain. I use the vacuum bags every time I cruise. You have to be careful if you are putting things like tshirts. It can leave them fairly wrinkled, but I've used these for that if needed. I usually pack undies, pj's, socks, items I'm not too...

    Panama Canal Eastbound Sept. 14, 2013--it'll be WONDER-ful

    DH and I have done one B2B cruise which was 14 days on a different cruiseline. We sent a few items to be dry cleaned and a few others to be laundered since they did not have washer and dryers on board. The cruiseline offered a reduced rate for a bag of laundry for us. This was mostly my...

    Panama Canal Eastbound Sept. 14, 2013--it'll be WONDER-ful

    Welcome! The FE is the Fish Extender Exchange. Outside of each cabin is a metal hook in the shape of a fish. Participants from the Disboards on this cruise will hang a decorated holder for others in the group to leave small gifts. Similar to a Secret Santa event; however, each participant can...

    Panama Canal Eastbound Sept. 14, 2013--it'll be WONDER-ful

    Thanks Kathy. The last few times we've cruised out of Galveston, we've used the parking in old warehouses that are right across the street. DH just walks across the street to get the car. I've just never paid any attention to buses coming and going. Guess I'm in a daze trying to face reality...

    Panama Canal Eastbound Sept. 14, 2013--it'll be WONDER-ful

    We have cruised both Royal Caribbean and Disney out of Galveston. I really don't know why, but disembarkation always seems a bit unstructured there. When we've cruised during Christmas or New Year's it tough because there is a lot of Mexico travelers. Customs takes a bit longer due to the...

    Panama Canal Eastbound Sept. 14, 2013--it'll be WONDER-ful

    Just an FYI...If disembarking the Wonder is anything like the Magic when we disembarked last May in Galveston, it will take place from the main lobby on deck 3. It was very crowded in that area. People were waiting in a long line down the hallway that leads to Parrot Cay. The Preludes Lounge...
