03/08/09 4-night Disney Wonder!!!!

[Sccrmnky2005]

Are you guys talking about the disposable cameras? We are doing the extreme getaway package on castaway cay that includes the stingray excursion, and so I have been debating about what type of camera. The waterproof casing for my camera is extremely expensive and I don't want to loose it in the water. So, I have been comparing the disposable to the cheap water proof digital cameras. I have read a lot of reviews on the digital one, and there are good and bad things about it. Can't make a decision!!!

yes the disposable ones. They have incude a wrist strap on them so you can put it on your wrist when you are in the water also and not have to worry about dropping it. I would probably buy a disposable one, because I would be worried that my digital would get messed up. It's better to spend just $10 to get one that will take the pictures you need in the water and then use the other one for all other pictures.

SeeDisney - my boys are older than yours...8 and 5 1/2, but both are also "all boy" and haven't ever had an issue with varied ages playdates - I'm sure they'd love to wreck some havoc with your guys!

I don't know our room number yet - when do we get that info? I've only gotten one packet of info so far...

DH, who usually thinks I'm a nut job for meeting up with people on forums for other interests, has finally decided (after finding his own fishing forum to hang around in) that these are actually a good idea and has instructed me to "find some fun people for us to hang out with"! So we're in for a meet up!

We're doing the ultimate thing on CC, stingrays in the early AM, floats, etc. and the dolphin swim in the Bahamas. At home, we tend to eat later than the kids (DHs job gets him home at random times at night), so will probably do the same on the cruise at least one or two nights. My understanding is that the kids don't want to leave the kids club anyway.

I ordered a FE off ebay along with some pins for the kids to trade and some pillowcases to drop off for autographs. I'm going to have to find the thread about people who will make signs I can print!

So much to think about for four days of travel!

Also, we're driving down and plan to arrive in the area Friday, go to Cape Canaveral on Sat. before boarding.

Getting really excited! Woo hoo!

Found our room number online...we'll be in 8548.

Well a month from today we should be in Nassau!

It won't be long now!

I haven't gotten my documents yet. Have the rest of you gotten yours? I thought we got them about 6 weeks ahead of time, but not this time.

No I haven't gotten my documents either. I'm sure they should be coming to us soon, how long before the cruise do they send them?

 

[westjones]

In the past it seemed like we had them by now, but they must be running later. When I get mine I will let everyone know.

Just saw a post somewhere I can't find it now about someone getting the documents 18 days before the trip.

 

[westjones]

Thanks, that is good to know.

I just ordered our fish extender and realized that we have 3 weeks and 6 days, but who's counting I have a small box collecting with little fish extenders. It is getting me all excited.

 

[Sccrmnky2005]

I asked a question to someone who just got off the wonder. If they are still giving out bandanas at dinner. They said no so if anyone wants that to be the fe gift that would be great. I already have my gifts or I would have bought them. When will we have a list of all the participants? Because I would like to ship mygifts to the ship so I don't have to put them in my luggage. Thanks.

 

[ladywine]

Oh me! I'll do the bandanas for FE gifts...I was just coming to say that I'd ordered some off ebay for us, but had to get a dozen so would have some extras...now instead, I'll go order some more and then I won't have to think about FE gifts anymore! Yay! Thanks!

 

[Sccrmnky2005]

I am glad that you will be giving out bandanas because I was looking forward to having them and now that I have heard they are not giving them out I was bummed. I made a shirt for the pirate party but thought the bandanas would be enough after that for dressing up and getting into the fun! How many kids do you have and what ages? I've got everything now I just need to sort it out by room and ages and get them in bags ready to go with names on them and room numbers. Thanks not much longer

Yup not to much longer!! I'm getting my FE gifts all packaged up and ready. I made my FE it was fun making it. Can't wait to see everyone's FE's!

My boys are almost 8 and 5 1/2. When is the deadline to join the FE group? I ordered more bandanas and got an extra pack over the count we have so far, but I don't want to be caught short!

 

[wrabitdad]

I'll be updating the FE list this weekend so if anyone wants to be on the list but hasn't posted nows the time.

Just recieved our cruise documents today!! So expect them for everyone else on this cruise in the next few days. I also got my stateroom number We will be in 6633. Glad we got it before so we can get involved in the FE exchange.

 

[Sccrmnky2005]

Did anyone else recieve their documents?

 

[ladywine]

Not me, hoping for Tuesday.

 

[nanaguide]

Yes, I got mine on Friday so they are in the mail. Just think 3 weeks from today we will be so excited to be boarding the Disney Wonder. Did you see the article in the Conde Nast Traveler magazine on the list of top 40 Cruise ships? The Disney Wonder was ranked #1 in large ships - so we are sailing on the BEST!!! Look forward to meeting all of you at the Sail-Away Party on the upper deck. I too won't know my cabin number until we board. I decided my girlfriends and I will just roam the halls and put our little gift in a FE when we find one. Am I right - there are only 10 of us doing fish extenders?
