11/30/06...The Wonder

[HookedonMagic]

Hello! My husband and I (and our 2 children) just got off the Wonder 10 night! It was such a great trip that we booked this 3 night (just the two of us!) I'm really excited to see the ship decorated for the holidays. It should be beautiful.

Wow! With my sons 5 & 1 just across the way at the Boardwalk from Sunday through Thursday (before embarkment), we should try to say hello. I'm sure we'll be doing a Beaches and Creme or Cape May visit somewhere in there!

Jamie,

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. The past 2 weeks have just been crazy at work and I haven't kept up with the boards. We should definitely try to meet up. PM me when you have a chance.

Hi, all.

My family and I are taking our first cruise with you! (Family= DDad, DMom, DB18, DB16, and DMe18!) I am so excited! I hope to meet some of you there!

Hello, Rachel and I were just looking at the calendar and we are getting very excited about going. We are on Deck 6 and Rachel can't wait to make new friends. What deck are you on? I hope that we get to meet your family.

Hi!! We are so excited too ! We haven't told our kids yet though, so it is getting harder and harder to keep the secret as we get closer.

We are on Deck 6 also--I believe it is 6555. Our DD is 6--maybe the kids would like to play together sometime

 

[linero]

That is great! We are on the same deck. Rachel and I are in 6007. We went online yesterday and got her signed up for the things for her age group. Yes, maybe the girls can get together. Rachel is very excited, not about the flight, but about the cruise. It won't be long now!!

Anyone with GTY gotten their cabin assignments yet? Just "Wonder"ing...I check daily...haven't gotten my yet...but, I know it's any time now!!

 

[Jamie Curci]

Looks like a bunch of us on Deck 6. We (with DS 5 and DS 1) are in 6542! Can't wait!

 

[Fabinva]

We are on Deck 6 as well, cabin 6548, the kids DS6 and DD4 know we are going but they do not know when, I plan to tell on our way to airport and I just can't wait!!!
Hope to meet some of you on board

Hubby and I are on Deck 6 as well......

 

[riverbelle]

This will be my first Disney Cruise and my first cruise.
I am so excited.
Over fifty, traveling solo. Hubby staying home with pets.
See you there!

 

[AshAlytwins]

Looks like you will board a spotless ship....there seems to be very few cruisers going on the 4 day before you with us!!!!
Have a great cruise!!!!

I haven't officially booked yet but as soon as SW comes out with some sale fares or DINGS for late Nov/early Dec I'm going to change our return date for our current WDW trip so DD13 and I can work the 11/30 cruise into our plans. I canceled our 3-day that I booked for next Nov and switched to a 5-day RCCL cruise instead but I hated the thought of giving up CC, the sailaway party, etc, etc that I enjoyed so much on our first DCL cruise!! So, twist my arm, since DD and I already had a girls only trip planned to WDW next month I figured why not plan a last minute cruise and spend a few less days at WDW, that way we get to do the Wonder again plus try RCCL for the first time!!

SW released DING fares yesterday, but only for Dec. 1-19th. I'm planning on only a DING fare for the return flight now. They didn't offer any flights from Manchester though, which is what I'm waiting for.

Your DD must be so excited that you are throwing in a cruise

Did you check the sale prices on their website? I saw on the transportation board last night that people were seeing sales prices (not DINGS) so I went in and checked and the prices were back to $59!! So I changed our departure time on the 29th and I changed our return date from MCO-MHT to two days later and it didn't cost me anything.

Our cruise is booked so now I just need to patiently wait for the next month to pass!! I booked the CC stingray adventure and I'm hoping we get to do it at last!! We booked Stingray City on our first NCL cruise, missed it because it was too rough to tender in Grand Cayman, booked the CC stingray adventure last year, missed that one because of the hurricane that came through just prior to our cruise which caused the stingrays to escape when their net was torn away, so we'll try AGAIN next month!!

Thanks for the info , I just booked my flights!!!!!!

I'm all set to go now.....I just have to get through the next month without blowing the secret for the kids!!!

I just have to get through the next month without blowing the secret for the kids!!!

I'd have a tough time keeping that secret, good luck!!

My mother and I will celebrate her 66th birthday on our November 30th cruise on the Wonder and subsequent trip to the Wilderness Lodge. Traveling without my kids, so Grandma is happy (LOL). She's new to Disney cruising. I've been on the Wonder before and highly recommend it. For you rookies out there, you will love it!

Check your DINGS today. I got roundtrip airfare for less than $100 from Indy for this trip, and my mom's airfare from Nashville was just slightly more.

Hi Everyone
Checking in for our FIRST EVER Disney Cruise. My husband and I along with DD 7, DS 11, DS 12 and Mother and Father-In-Law. My In Laws are celebrating their 48th Anniversary (Aug 06) so this is their present. We're driving from CT to spend Thanksgiving with them in Springhill, FL then we're off to the Grand Floridian 11/26 and then meeting them at the port for the 11/30 cruise. Kids are missing 8 days of school (makes me alittle nervous, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us). We have 2 adjoining rooms on the 6th deck also. We just booked our trip in September, so this is kinda last minute, but you guys have helped out so much - hope we bump into each other - thanks!!

Glad you found your way here!!

I wouldn't worry too much about your kids missing school, we take our DD13 out of school for one week every year and it's never been a problem and as you said, this is a once in a lifetime trip for you and your family!! Enjoy it!!

I'm another last minute planner, I booked this cruise 2 days ago. I don't have to patiently wait for months on end so it's kind of fun planning a last minute cruise!!
