1/22/2006 Roll Call for Wonder Cruisers

[AlvaroLuis]

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!!!!!!!


Alvaro, how is the packing going!?!?!? Anyone excited yet?!?!?!?

Oooooooh, I got #700.......WAKE UP, WAKE UP!!!!!

No packing yet!!! and it's only 4 more days before we leave. Marisel said the house was a mess already (Santa's shop, you know) so she did not need to see bags lying on the floor... but she said I could start on Christmas day.... that's today

BTW, do I get any recognition for #701???

Maybe an "also ran"!!! I'm sure a marathoner will get that!!!

Let's just say I'm "first runner up".... girls at beauty contests get all excited about that! BTW, it worked for the Panamanian girl who was 1st runner up a couple of years ago (Justin Pasek)... when the Russian Miss Universe quit 3 months after the contest, she became the new Miss Universe... so, Kelli... let me know if that "#700" crown gets too heavy for you...

Me, my DH and two daughters ages 1 and 5 will also be on the Wonder on the 22nd. My sister and brother in law will also be sailing with us. Funny thing, my daughters preschool teacher and her family are booked on the same cruise.(what a coincidence)!! Can't wait. We were booked in a Guarantee 12 and got 11's. Can't complain I guess. We are DVC members and will be staying at POP the night before cruise and OKW for 4 nights after.

Welcome to our little corner of the world...first question...are you going to read all 700+ posts?!?!?!?!? No?!? What else would you have to do this week?!?!?

Looks like you've got quite a group for this cruise!!! That sure is a coincidence about the teacher being on the same cruise!! I hope you like her and her family!!!!

We'll be at Pop before the cruise, also, getting in the night of the 19th. I've really enjoyed seeing something new each time we've stayed there....and I think its been 4 times now for a day or two at least~~~on one end of a cruise or another....I never ask for a certain era, just take what we get and find things to see!!

 

[jendon1997]

Honestly, I probably will try and read through all the posts. Probably just skim through them though. I feel like I could have missed something. We stayed at Pop for a week two years ago when it first opened. We love to try new things and we loved it. We didn't want to spend points so that is why we are staying there again. I can't wait!!!! It is getting so close now. This is our 4th disney cruise. We are excited to use the kids clubs this time. Anyone couples in their 30's with no kids?? My SIL and BIL who are going with us will be looking for someone to pal around with for drinks and stuff. With our 2 girls, we won't be doing much of that. Plus, I'm not a drinker and they like the club/bar scene. Did everyone check their room assignments? I guess I better go read all the posts. I may be trying to get info about things already talked about!!

 

[jendon1997]

So my SIL gets my DD a hair wrap machine for Christmas so I can do a wrap for Madi before we cruise. I AM TERRIBLE at it. Any tips?? Trying to avoid the "pretty lady need a braid" in Nassau. Help!?!?

 

[AlvaroLuis]

they have finally assigned me a cabin... #6607...

Congratulations! Looks like you are in a great location. I'm sure you've probably already checked out the stateroom reports for that room--but if you haven't, you should because it was a positive one!

Honestly, I can't believe it's almost here....

First of all, welcome! Secondly, I'm sorry I can't be of any help with the hair wrap machine. I don't even know what a hair wrap is supposed to look like, let alone what the machine looks like! BUT I'm sure that once you figure it out, it will be quite beautiful. My daughter has curly hair and can barely stand for me to touch it, so that's off the agenda for us this time. (You might be able to search for tips either on this site, or on google, etc.)

Good luck! Glad you and the rest of your crew are aboard with us!

Wow we are finally here in New York. It was snowing pretty hard our last couple of hours from Buffalo to Syracuse. It was only scary when a semi slid right beside us! Our poor BIL was staying overnight in Ohio to break up the trip a bit and someone bashed in their van window and stole their bags, camcorder, camera, & binoculars. They couldn't get in fixed today so they had to buy some cardboard and duct tape and drive that way. They kept having to stop to retape the window shut!

Alvaro, we are in 6613 so we are just down the hall from you.

Kelli, we are staying at the Pop too and arriving on the 19th. What airlines are you flying/time? We are flying American and arrive in around 12:50 pm.

I hope everyone had a great holiday!

Welcome Jendon 1997

I have 2 daughters and have never used one of the wrap things...sorry. I have almost always gotten my hair braided wherever we go as a treat. DD - 3 would not sit still that long though.

Well it looks like we're really close... anyone else on deck 6? BTW, glad you made it to NY ok, with the snow and all!

Kelli, I know you´re arriving on the 19th... are you using Disney's transportation service (Magical express??) or do you want me to send our limousine to pick you up... the driver is quite knowledgeable... and has this funny latin accent... he'll even stop for groceries but you'll have to buy him a Mickey bar for that!

Karin, I'll try to find out how to get to cabin reviews.... any tips?

 

[num1tigerfan]

I don't know about Kelli, but we are using the magical express. I hated to rent a car until we needed too. Where are you staying Alvaro?

On the DIS Disney Cruise Line main page, there's a link to stateroom reports. That's the only one I know.

Our cabin is aft as well, so we're kinda close... But you and Julie are practically next door!

 

[jendon1997]

Rooms 6543 and 6503 here. Upgraded from 12 to 11. Anyone else??

 

[num1tigerfan]

Hi Karin, I hope you had a nice Christmas. We are here in snowy New York and MIL is busy cooking our feast for tonight! I made it over to the mall today to their disney store...but there wan't to many bargains.

Maybe when we get back the documents will be waiting for us.
