November 15th--3 Night Wonder Cruise

[1outof5fans]

Hope to meet up with you all - 100% sure all 3 kiddos will abandon us! Working on some form of a door sign - anyone else doing this?

Also - our docs came yesterday!!! Was starting to get worried there. We're on Deck 10 - but not GTY. Does that mean there is a chance (however slight) that we could get bumped up? The other worry I have is that we have 2 staterooms - has anyone ever heard of both being bumped up?

Thanks!

Kerry

Kerry:

do you mean Cat 10???

Deck 10 does not have rooms on it.

Did you go to disneycruiseline.com and see your ressies and see if there is a room no listed there???

If you got your docs, your room number should be on your luggage tags.

let us know

 

[krdisneybound]

Just got a call from DVC and my waitlist came through for OKW for Wednesday night before the cruise.

Is anyone staying at OKW that night?? that is the 14th???


It is just amazing how all the waitlists always come thru and when you try to book - there is absolutely nothing available anywhere. I never fail to waitlist for what I want.

Was upgraded to Cat 9 this time. Had cat 12 gty.

That was a nice suprise.

We are staying at Disney the night before.

Anyone going to be at Pt. Orleans Riverside???

We were also upgraded to a Cat. 9 (from a Cat. 12.) We are staying out by the airport the night before the cruise. We are DVC'ers, but don't have any points left!

See everyone in just over 2 weeks!!

Oops - my mistake, we're on deck 1 - waaaay bottom. I don't care - we're going on a Disney cruise!!!

I've spent my only day off before our trip doing mountains of laundry and running errands to pick up everything we need. I work though weekends, so today is it! Taking a quick break to pick up the kids from school and then back to the list of todos....

We're headed to Disney on Nov. 10th and staying at the Beach Club and then the Boardwalk before heading over to the ship. Anyone else going to be around the Boardwalk?

Well, off to get the kiddos! Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

 

[krdisneybound]

Kerry - I knew you'd find yourself.

COUNTDOWN:

WE SAIL IN 11 DAYS​

Yipee - start packing your suitcases

 

[krdisneybound]

Did you set your clocks back last night before going to bed????????

I think Indiana does not do it.

 

[1outof5fans]

I am getting sooo excited!! We leave for Disney Saturday morning (the 10th) and head to the Beach Club, then Boardwalk and then the cruise! We've got the suitcases all lined up and piles of clothes to pack for each family member. I am so worried I'll forget something! I'm tossing around the idea of a "mental health" day this week before we go just so I can double check everything without having to be up till midnight the day before we go!

Anyone else getting the 'yippee/oh no!' moments like I am?!

I have started making my magnets for our door so you all can tell where we are (if you happen to go 'down below').

Counting down the days!!!!

 

[krdisneybound]

WE SAIL IN SIX (6) DAYS​

Are we ready to have some fun??????????


Can't wait to meet everyone at 3 pm in the Promenade Lounge, Deck 3 midship. By that time lunch should be over and we would be waiting for the fire drill and the sail away party at 4 pm.

I usually stand on Deck 10 starboard side but this time I'll be down in front with the g/daughter so she can dance and have some fun

 

[krdisneybound]

WE SAIL IN FIVE (5) DAYS​

 

[krdisneybound]

I plan on being there to meet everyone. Need some friends since I'll be all by my lonesome.

Please make sure and come to the meeting at 3 pm in the Promanede Lounge on Deck 3, midship.

Hopefully most of us will be there so that we can say "HI" to each other during the cruise.

 

[1outof5fans]

Well folks, we're off to Disney tomorrow so hopefully we'll meet up with everyone on the first day.

Have a great trip!

 

[krdisneybound]

Kerry:

have a safe trip and we'll see you on Thursday

[krdisneybound]

Has everyone left already????????????

 

[Rideengineer]

Not me, I'm still here. Heading to the World Tuesday afternoon! I haven't even started packing yet, and I'm a little stressed over it, but I'm sure I'll get it done and everything will be great once Im on the plane and taking a nap

 

[whithouston]

We leave on Wednesday. We are driving down early and going to the Magic Kingdom and then heading over to the port on Thursday morning. We will probably get there around 10:30 or so. I like to get there early and get an early boarding number. See everyone then!

Scott

 

[krdisneybound]

hi everyone

leaving tomorrow morning early.

who ever is the last one to leave, switch off the lights

See 'ya Thursday at the terminal or at 3 pm in the Promenade Lounge, Deck 3, midship

 

[krdisneybound]

I'm back home and had a great time.

Only 3 of us showed up in the Promenade Lounge and we met and chatted for a while.

Would have loved to met everyone else.

Hope everyone is great and had a safe trip home.

 

[1outof5fans]

Hello all!

We made it back to NC safely, although it's good to be home, we're all a little depressed over our vacation ending. But now we can start planning the next one, right?

We never made it to the lounge - sorry - would have loved to meet some of you.

Hope everyone had a great time! Did anyone do a booking for another cruise? DH wants to look at other cruise lines for next time (just to try) Can you believe him?! I didn't get to do half the things they offerred on this one!

Take care!
