Ummmmm, it's raining here and there is SNOW mixed in with the rain.

It is May 11, we are NOT supposed to have snow flurries!!!!!!

I think a meet would be a great idea.
The 2 previous cruises we were on, we (Dis Board members) met on the "secret" deck on Deck 7. It is the whole way at the back of the ship, there is a single metal type door that opens onto a very nice, large open deck with lounge chairs. There is seldom anyone back there, and it has a great view of the port. What do you think?

Is this area fairly easy to find for a Disney Wonder newbie? If so, we're down! Also...any idea about a decent time to meet? I want to say that TR's I've read where the people did a meet did so a little before the ship left Port Canaveral...but I could be wrong...

No news this morning, so that may be a good sign! If he's calling me, that means he is still at an airport and not in the air!

 

[GoofyKids123]

He's here!!!! Let the good times begin!

 

[mjmahnke]

YAY!!!

 

[Henlady]

Well, fellow cruisers, our journey begins tomorrow morning at 7:30am. We'll be heading to Lorton, VA to hop aboard the AutoTrain. We'll arrive on Saturday morning to spend the time before the cruise at WDW. Packing the car tonight, DD,DS & DF are flying down on Saturday, but we're taking all their luggage with us.
Have the FE and gifts all ready to go into the trunk first.

Goofykids123 - So happy to hear that your DH is home.

Can't wait to meet all of you next Thursday!!
We'll probably be back on the Deck 7 open deck around 2:30/3:00 on Thursdy afternoon. If anyone makes it back there, just say "hi".

Have a wonderful week and you all have a safe journey.

If you look at accuweather or wunderground, they have great looking weather for us.

That's great news about the weather. My DW and I cant wait, this will be our first cruise ever and without the kids. We are driving down tomorrow, 11 hours but it will be worth it. See you all on the Wonder for a great time!!!!!!!!!

 

[miztigg]

I cant wait for warm weather!!!!!! My flight is at 610am tommrow but i gotta stay up to watch the flyers!! Ill be in sea world and aquatica tommrow!!! Everyone have a safe trip down!!!!!!

 

[GeorgeY]

I wanted to Thank Everyone for thier FE gifts. That was really fun. The kids loved coming back to the room to find things.

Sorry for throwing it out of whack for a bit, when we upgraded cabins, but I couldn't pass the suite upgrade.

The cruise was great. Atlantis was great. We booked another on board and got the discount. We are going on the Med Cruise in June 2011.

What a fun trip!!!!!! This was the first time I did the FE exchange And it was sooo much fun I felt like a little kid at xmas We did rebook for the dream with the kids I booked a dummy date but i think im gonna go in march. Hope everyone had as much fun as we did

 

[Henlady]

Hi everyone. We just got back home last evening. Back to work today.
We would like to thank everyone for the wonderful FE gifts. DGS was so excited to find "presents" when we went back to the room. I am sorry that I didn't get a chance to meet all of you. I had on my lime green bracelet from George, but seemed to miss you all. I believe I did see Tara at Palo on Friday evening and I think Bernadette and her family was near us while waiting at the terminal. We also booked onboard for another cruise. We'll be on the May 22, 2011 4 night Dream.
We had a great time and couldn't have asked for more perfect weather.

Bernadette: DH would like to know more about "The Lion Brigade", so any info for him would be greatly appreciated.

 

[ickletarakins]

Henlady--You should have said hi! Palo was amazing, right?

I have been slammed since we got home, especially with planning this wedding. Thanks to everyone for the FE gifts. Sorry ours were a bit low on the totem pole--we had candy and nippers to add to the mix but forgot the bag at home, go figure. Now we have two giant bags of candy and no clue what to do with it all!

 

[GoofyKids123]

Hello All! We had a wonderful time on the cruise!! Thank you for all of the wonderful FE gifts!! My husband and the kids were all pleasantly surprised and they are still talking about the nice people that I 'met on the internet.' Kris, you should have knocked us on the head...we're a friendly bunch! We did not book while on board, but we are already planning to cruise again; it all depends on whether or not we stay here in GA or move on to someplace else. I will be happy to send information about THE Lion Brigade. I'm sure everyone knew from the military related items that it was the White Family, but we did not put names on the pirate shot glasses or the kids gifts. The kids received various items according to their ages, but the one constant thing that we tried to give all of the kids was a US Flag. I hope everyone enjoyed their gifts. This was our first time, but we will definitely do this again. I am glad that I had the presence of mind to ship everything before hand. Our stateroom host delivered my boxes at around 2:00 on the first afternoon.

What a fun cruise! We LOVED all of our gifts! We ended up switching rooms with the boys because they had a baby in the room next to them and they got crabby about the potential early morning crying, so we ended up in 6305 and they got the cabin with the FE on it. GoofyKids123, the boys LOVED all of the military stuff especially the wallets. They are both using them now. They said they saw your husband deliver them and we went up to your cabin twice during the cruise to meet him and thank him for the awesome gifts and his service to our country. Unfortunately, you were out and about, so if you would, thank him for us. I see you said you are in Georgia! We also live in GA. What base are you all stationed at?

Henlady - we booked the same exact cruise next year that you did!! We booked the May 22 2011 cruise on the DREAM. I'm going to go join that group now, if it exists.

Again, thanks to all for such a wonderful FE exchange! It was the first time we officially participated and now I have more great ideas of what to put in ours next time around!!
