12-3-09 December 3, 2009 3 nite WONDER

[mousebrat]

We are also taking time at WDW before the cruise. We fly into MCO on the night of 11/27 and we get 5 days at the parks. We are staying at the Poly as we are doing the land/sea package. Where do you plan on staying?

 

[MaryEL8775]

We booked as well!!! We will be staying at the Poly for 5 nights before we get on the Wonder. Along with myself, I'll have DH, DS (3 almost 4 years old then), and DS (just turned 1 then). We are going to celebrate my birthday that I share with my youngest son.

This will be our third Disney cruise for us, our oldest son's second (if you don't count when I was pregnant for the first one), and our youngest son's first.

We can't wait to return to Disney and see all the Christmas decorations. I've seen the pictures of Castaway Cay and we are so excited.

We are looking into 3 different resorts. We are booking the land separate from our cruise to get the most out of it. We will in WDW for 4 nights just like the package but we only need 3 day park hoppers as the day before the cruise we plan on attending the day at Sea World as a Christmas Present for the kids.

Since there are 5 of us in our party we are looking into either The Poly, Port Orleans Riverside (trundle bed) or even the All Star Music Suites. So this should get more interesting except that right now I am lagging due to the weather, DS just being in the hospital last night and dealing with girl scout cookie sales. Yep I am the cookie mom. How great of me.

Ok well it is official we are booked on the cruise. We will have rooms 6000 for my mom and 6002 for us. So more fun on Deck 6. I think I am going to get one of those Dry Erase boards so that we can leave fun messages on our doors for one another. Granted that our rooms are in the forward at the end of the floor but hopefully you can all take the LONGGGGGGGGGGGGG Stroll down to our rooms to write on our door.

Hi
Well refund finally came in, BUT, a family reunion has been planned for around the 3rd, so I will be taking the 10th Wonder cruise instead. Hope all of you have a safe and great voyage!

I just booked this cruise! It will be me, my DH, 14 yr old DS and my Mom. This will be our 5th Disney cruise and my Mom's first. I am not an experienced FE person, but I will be. I have organized the exchange for our March 28th Magic cruise. I am "supposed" to get the $99 bounceback voucher on the March cruise, so I booked this one and will just send the voucher in when I get it. I say "supposed" because Disney added the FL resident discount after the fact to my March cruise. I sure hope it doesn't interfere with me getting the voucher deal.

 

[disneyfreak1]

Oh, we are on Deck 6 also....6613.

 

[fireworks fan]

Welcome to our cruise thread, disneyfreak1! I would love to hear all about your experience with the FE on your march cruise when you return. I'm traveling with my kids and my parents too, and my Mom has already promised to help me make a FE (since she can sew much better than me ).

Mary

 

[tngal]

Hi and welcome! Glad to know we'll have someone experienced in the FE's!! I have got to get started in making mine. I've been on one other Disney cruise before, but we didn't do the FE then, so this will be an experience! You will be just down the hall from me, we are in 6606 and 6604! It will be me, Dh, dd11, dd5, and mom and dad. Can't wait to hear more from you!

My Mom actually sewed mine. All I did was cut it out and pin it together.

 

[tngal]

Just wanted to drop by and say hi to everyone! I have completed the shirts I had planned for our cruise. When I get the chance I will post some pics of them if you all would like to see them. I had a blast making them lol. Now I need to start on my FE, the girls autograph books and journal pages, and I thought I'd work on some of the magnets for the door as well.
When it gets a little closer we'll probably need someone to "head up" our FE exchange. I would volunteer to do it but i have no experience with it. I am still stumped as to what I would like to buy for the gifts!!
Hope to hear from you all soon! Hugs!

I just booked! This will be my families first ever cruise. We have 2 DS's who will be 7 and 11. I really enjoy reading all of the tips and tricks everyone has to offer and I have learned a lot. I'm so glad I won't be lost when we get there.
