July 29, 2013 Wonder Alaska

[LBflute]

Just booked ours last weekend. This will be our third Disney cruise; we did the Dream in August 2011, Wonder MR in March 2012. We've also done a Norwegian Hawaii cruise in August 2010, and hubby and I have sailed with Crystal twice, plus a European cruise coming up this fall. We love the Disney ships, especially the Wonder. We have two tweens, DD age 13 and DS age 12.

We also just booked for this cruise! This will be our second Disney Wonder cruise. At DS 4's request, we were able to book "our" room from the Mexican Riviera cruise we took last fall. This cruise will be celebrating our 10th anniversary and DS starting "big kid school"! Can't wait to meet other folks!

This will be our second family cruise. We didn't do any FE in the first one but would love to join in on this cruise

We have done FE in the past. They are lots of fun. I am undecided if we would do it this time due to possible packing constraints. Once I start looking into airlines I will have a better idea. We are still deciding how many days to do in Vancouver prior to sailing. There are several things we would like to see there. What are other people doing?

Welcome! This has been a quiet thread. My DH and are starting to look at airfare and hotels in Vancouver. We are planning on spending 3.5 days in Vancouver before sailing. We would like to go over to Victoria for a day. I think we will stay at Pan Pacific, it was actually coming in a little cheaper than the Fairmont properties. We have started looking at excursions. There are lots that I want to do. I will have to narrow it down but right now it's to hard. Has anyone else started planning yet?

You must have enjoyed your cruise, to have booked again. Do you have any advice on excursions? It is me (Vicki 49) and my DH (Tim 51). We definitely want to do a train ride. I would like to do a float plane. I have my eye on the one to Taku lodge. Not sure about the lumbar jack show. It looks fun, but we may do something similar in Vancouver. My DH would like to go panning for gold. What did you do last year?

We didn't do any excursions last year. I wasn't working full time, so it wasn't in the budget. We probably should have just cancelled, but we had family going with us.

Hopefully, this time is different.

DS8 learned how to pan for gold at a rock shop in Skagway for $20.

At the port in Vancouver, they were handing out coupon books. Make sure you take one, especially if you like cheap souvenirs (t-shirts, etc). That's where we found the info about the place to pan for gold.

In Juneau, I went to the Alaskan Brewing company. They have a shuttle that leaves from their store downtown for a small fee. My wife took a tour of the state capital. I think that was free (or very cheap).

In Ketchikan, we had fish & chips and went shopping.

Maybe I'll post some pictures later.

Pictures would be great. Thanks for the info regarding the coupon books in Vancouver. I think my DH might like the Alaskan Brewing Company. I might look into that for him. Can you walk to their downtown store from the ship?
