Hi Tina. I am so glad you will be on this cruise. I haven't seen you since my wedding on the Wonder. Yes, the planning is the fun part.

Im glad to do it, Ive been reading all the posts and theres alot of great ideas!
I think a vote is good and I was defintly planning on the groups. I was hoping like the WBPC that we could cover all the days or majoriy of them.
I definitly think there should be a cut off date as I know like me some people dont want to be running at the last minute but I usually make a few extras anyway in case anyone adds as I dont want anyone being left out especially kids .
I work nights so im on at weird hours but try to hop on whenever I can
Im not sure but thought I saw that someone else was celebrating 20 years and thinking about a vow renewal.
Our 20th is in jan but since were sailing we had though about this because we actually met in april but wondering where and how to go about this?
Having friends and family would make extra special too
any ideas?
Great idea. Do you recommend a petition? Maybe we can come up with one e-mail letter that we could each download and send on our own. Would people be interested in sending one if you didn't have to actually write it but just sign and send?Just wanted chime in. To my fellow PC cruisers this year who wanted pins you will aprecate this, and to all I encourage you to do the same. I sent a email to DCL asking if they do pins made just for this cruise to use the RSP process so we don't have to spend hours infront of the store waiting.
Great ideaThis idea had crossed my mind too.
We could go Lilo and Stitch themed for group names -
Lilo
Stitch
Nani
Jumba
Pleakley
Gantu
Cobra Bubbles etc
We could go for Hawaiian Islands -
Hawaii
Oahu
Kauai
Maui
Molokai
Lanai
Niihau
Kahoolawe
I'm sure there are lots of other great ideas too
Favorite excursions do often sell out early but keep checking back for cancellations.just had a thought about the amount of platinum and gold cc members on this cruise....help me out please
when the newbies or silvers get to book their excursions is it slim pickings??? If some are really popular will disney expand bookings? I know a lot of you guys have sailed together before and on these long cruises so any info would help me out! Thanks
also.....is their a palo brunch on all of the sea days? I really want to eat palo dinner a few times, and have never tried brunch cant wait to get the chance...
thanks to the previous poster for the atv pics! wow that looks great, too bad it's on oahu, we have a lot to fit in that day, we will for sure be going to pearl harbor, and want to go check out aulani....but if aulani is not possible, this looks like a close second.
aan1701- thanks for inquiring about pins, we collect as well...
Thanks Krisann. I notice this thread is not yet on the first page of the 2012 Wonder meets. Has someone sent a PM to the Disboards? Having the rollcall and supporting info on the first posting has always been a real help for me.The easiest way is to create a new worksheet in the same location of the Roll Call sheet so everyone can put in their own information. You can then copy and paste that into excel as you want (daily, weekly, etc.) This allows everyone to put their own information in exactly as you want it, and saves you a lot of time!
If you want me to create it, tell me what information you want to capture and I will create it!

Is anyone else planning on going to LA a few days before the cruise? We're thinking about 2 days before and I want to go to DisneyLand. I was never there. There's no way to go to LA before a Disney Cruise and not go to DL. Any suggestions from anyone about where to stay? I didn't buy transfers so I don't know if there are any hotels in LA that offer transportation to the port. Maybe if others are also going to DL we can have a "Minnie" lol meet there.
I can't wait for this cruise. Hawaii, here we come.
Bev
YEAH!!!!! I'm so glad you guys will be onboard, Deb!!! Jason and I have missed you guys and we can't wait to see you in just a couple weeks.....and then to know we'll see you again on the Hawaii trip!! It's now gotten to the point that if my boss gives me a hard time about this HI trip I might just have to quite my job----because I'm so excited and there are SO MANY old cruise friends going....including our entire original table of 6 from our recent Med/B2B (and anyone who read our blog from that trip knows how much we loved them)!!!
Hi Bev -
We are planning a couple of day at Disneyland prior to the cruise. We are DVC members and are planning on staying at the Grand Californian. It is a beautiful hotel and you can walk to the park. I am not sure about transportation to the port but I am hoping others are also planning this and we can get a group rate or something.

So we just confirmed this with our TA. We had actually gotten a hold on a 10C on friday ourselves, but decided to get the 9B that our TA had found instead.
We are all really looking forward to this!
I have only cruised out of Port Canaveral. We usually rent a car and stay at the port, then return the car in the morning and have them drop us off at the port. I have no clue what to do for this cruise. We will fly in the day before. Can anyone suggest if we should stay at airport or port? Rent a car, take a taxi? Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. I'm an obsessive planner that plans things very far in advance. I'm sure there has to be a few of you like me.

We have been looking at the Hyatt in Long Beach as it's not too far from the airport and near to the port too I believe.......plus dh has Hyatt points......
They have a shuttle from the airport and will check about the port, but otherwise will take a cab
.
The Long Beach Aquarium is also a short walk, and I know my son will insist we make it to Bubba Gumps!Thanks everyone for the info. That's exactly what I needed to know. I will look into the Hyatt as one of our choices. I'm glad to hear there is a shuttle from the airport and restaurants nearby. The easier, the better.

I'm an terrible novice, but I have this throw I've been knitting for my daughter for YEARS! At this rate, I'll never finish it. I bring it on every vacation thinking I'll have a few minutes to sit and work on it and then do nothing with it every vacation. Maybe if I'm sitting with someone, I'll actually do some work on it, so count me in.Any knitters / crochet people on board? I never seem to have enough time for it, but I plan to once again try to get some knitting time in at the Cove Cafe... Would love company!
TTFN!

Thanks Dale. I didn't even think of that. I'm also a DVC member. Wow, what a great idea.
