11/11/10 3 night Wonder!

[bobbiwoz]

We booked while on our cruise last weekend. All 9 of us are going again, and we're hoping there's a MVMCP on the night we dock.

I teach p/t and usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so the 11th is Veteran's Day a school holiday, so I won't have to take any time off from work!

Is any one else planning that cruise?

Bobbi

 

[SharonLowe]

We'll be on that one too. Me, older DS, and 12YO DD. Doing that one so DD only misses one day of school (and I am sure she won't be the only one).

 

[runskyhy]

Count us in. Although, me and DBF (BoyFriend) only need two Deck 4 Promenade chairs to relax in and you might not even notice we are aboard!

Is the ship decorated for the December holidays by this time? That would be fun to see!

Cape May, NJ, Bobbi? I hail from 'Turnpike Exit 3' area!

 

[bobbiwoz]

Yes, Cape May NJ...just a lovely town, DSis and we bought a small home there 11 years ago...She's coming on the DCL with us, she lives in Haddonfield. Our DMom lives in Cape May year round.

It's great that finally our countdown is less than a year!!!!

We were on a 3 night cruise for DH's birthday, November 17th a few years ago, and there was only a teeny little decorated for Christmas house in one little area, so my guess is you have to be later to get the Holiday Decorations.

Why do you prefer the Promonade deck chairs, and not by the pool?

[Neoshoegal]

Count us in!
Well nearly... I've just put a cabin on hold. Will make the deposit in the next few days.
I'll be cruising with my DH (couple in our early 30's). We're spending 2 weeks at WDW before the cruise and due to our flight going home to the UK being a few days later than planned we decided to add a Disney cruise.
It's our first Disney cruise. We've done several cruises with Royal Caribbean before (and will have done a transatlantic cruise on Cunard by then too).
Can't wait!!!

have a great cruise!

 

[bobbiwoz]

We're in flux now...don't know if this will be a reality. Am sad about that, will be keeping in touch with this thread.

[Neoshoegal]

Just wanted to wish everybody here a Happy New Year!!! (I know it's a bit late, but been busy)

Bobbi, I hope you'll still make it on this cruise, fingers crossed!

So far, family is saying "Yes!" We cut the time down to only one night before at WDW. Thanks for the best wishes!

Happy New Year to all from me too!

Just switched our DVC incentive cruise from 12/16 to this one! I was excited to cruise during the Christmas season, but my husband's work schedule required us to move it to Nov. The good part is it's one month earlier! It will be me, DH, DD (6.5 at the time) and DS (4.5 at the time). Celebrating our 10yr and my husband's b-day...

We cruised on the 7nt Western this past Oct and loved it. I'm afraid 3 nights will seem really short, so we are going to WDW for the first time the 5 nights prior. Can't wait!

 

[JsMom2]

DD and I just booked!

Sharon, my DD will also be 12 at time of sailing!

 

[kimszath]

I've booked this cruise for me and DS11. Looking forward to meeting all of you! This will be our third cruise, but first on the Wonder. We've done both the Eastern and Western Magic. This should be a nice quick little getaway!!!

 

[Neoshoegal]

I didn't check this thread for a little while, glad to see some new people!!!
How many of us are spending time at WDW before the cruise? We have a 15 night stay at the SSR before we set sail.

 

[runskyhy]

Bobbi, I'm glad to see you are still in. It's also great to meet all the others jumping aboard this trip! We don't ahve plans to visit WDW on this trip.

Bobbi

In the past, the promenade chairs have been easier to come by for us - even on the non-smoking side - and it is always offers a great view. We also have observed that characters use it as a path [to wherever they are going] and they are always happy to stop for photos with us along the way. I even caught a DCL cast member getting a picture with Snow White there. I thought this was awesome that even employees got to experience some 'magic':

Cool my DD is 11 now, but will be 12 at sailing! If you'd like to hang out with another single Mom during the cruise - like in the eves - I'm your gal!

I'm VERY low on vacation days, so we'll just be flying in and out for the cruise.

Wow, 15 nights, that's wonderful! Our family has 1 night at SSR before. Some of us will be in a Treehouse, and the other couple in a studio.

JSMom2, that's DH's "problem" very much out of vacation time.

We're coming over from the UK, so we have to make it worth our while!
Plus, I run my own company so can choose how many days I take off

And if you want to hang out with another Wendy, Wendy, I'm your gal!
