"Double Dipping Castaways" September 26, 2014, 5 nights on the Wonder

[cruisinwithmaandpa]

I have stayed at Port Orleans (French Quarter). I liked this place since they had boats that took you to Downtown Disney (free). I also like Coronado Springs, (they have a nice pool area). We stayed at the Caribbean Beach as well (the beds were lumpy) didn't care for this hotel.

This is very helpful, thank you! I like the look of Riverside overall, but the pool area at Coronado is exactly what's tempting me there.

We may just skip doing MK completely so I want to make sure if we just hang out at the hotel we'll be happy.

2 questions...already!

Is there a post that explains the FE details? I cant seem to find it.

Also

To decorate your doors...can we make that Mickey Bar picture that was posted into a magnet and put it on our door?

Hi everyone, My name is Linda and i am going on this cruise with my daughters and their families. This is our second family cruise. We took the last one in Aug of 2012 on the Dream. It was a dream too!! It was such a great experience we just had to do it again.

Hi. We are looking forward to this cruise. Please add us to the FE list. We are Ken and Barb and will be travelling with Rob, Amber and Sydney.

We hope to be joining you all on this cruise. We booked when we were on the Fantasy in April of last year. I have always dreamed of 2 stops at CC. But since then DH is being laid off at the end of this month and DD is building a new house so who knows yet if we will be able to pay it off in July. We were going to celebrate her 40th bday!

I sure hope we get to come. It will be a great cruise!

The Fairy Godmother visited us today so we are going to be able to join you on this cruise! I am beyond excited. It will be be DH and I, DD and family, girls 12 and 10 and boys almost 7 and 3 and DS and family, girls 6 and 3 and baby boy 10 months at the time of the cruise.

In September 2012, when my wife and I were out to dinner to celebrate our eighteen wedding anniversary; we wondered how we should celebrate our future twentieth. Well it was a pretty short discussion since we are both Disney fans, engaged in Disneyland, married at Disneyworld and we both wanted ‘someday’ to take a Disney cruise. So that evening a year and half ago we decided to take a Disney cruise for our twentieth wedding anniversary this upcoming September. Since then it has been journey of passing one time milestone after another. Some of these include:

• Initial contact with travel agent September 2012
• Disney releases second half 2014 cruise schedule February 12th, 2013
• Booked our 5 night, (Sept 26 ~ Oct 1st) double dip Disney cruise February 14th, 2013.
• Airline tickets purchased Nov 30, 2013
• Cruise balance paid Feb 2, 2014

Well today is yet another milestone day. Today we are six months from our cruise together with you. The wait so far seems like forever. But now that we are just six months away; hopefully it will be all downhill from here. I can hardly wait.

Where did I put that suitcase?!

My son and I will be on this cruise! It will be my 6th and his 2nd. This will be the first time I sail without my daughter who will be at college next fall. My son will be 8 by the time we cruise. He joined our family last March and has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, so he may be in his scooter when you meet him (if speedy decides to stop and say "Hi!"!) He loved Castaway Cay and Scuttles Cove on his first cruise (Thanksgiving 2013 Fantasy) I saw the double dip when rebooking onboard and decided to cruise sooner than planned so that he can go to the kids area on CC twice while he can still walk. Looking forward to participating in the FE and meeting everyone

Just found this thread. We(wife and I) will be on this cruise using DVC points. This will be our 5th Disney cruise and are looking forward to it. We are flying in one day prior and staying at the airport Hyatt. We learned about 4 cruises ago to go in at least a day early and it just makes it so much nicer to get up in the morning and go downstairs to board the bus to Port Canaveral. Have not decided yet what we will do but have decided we will probably just stay onboard when in Nassau. Love Castaway Cay and looking forward to Key West also.
I need to go back and read this thread and see what is going on but wanted to get myself listed as a member of the thread...smjj

Welcome! I know 5 days will not seem like enough time but I am grateful for a double dip. I have always wanted to do that.
