12/31/08 Wonder for New Year's Eve

[wdwscout]

No response from WinMO. I sent a PM too.
Not sure what to do there- I guess I'll bring their gifts, and if we don't hear from them- I'll just put them in someone else's FE!!

I have small things to pass out- one for each of 3 nights. I figured with everyone packing on the last night- another gift wasn't necessary.
And I still have to make our FEs!! I have the fabric- just have to decide how to make them. (I've got 4 days- it'll happen!)

I just got our suitcases out this morning. We leave Tuesday morning. (4 more sleeps! )
My clothes are all spread out on my bed right now! Trying to figure out what to bring. I always have trouble packing for warm weather in the winter!!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas- we'll be on the Wonder before you know it!

I'm disappointed it won't be hot, but mid 70s will be nice and hopefully nice enough to swim at Castaway.

Looking forward to meeting everyone

I remember a few posts back someone sharing that the itinerary had changed. I've checked our cruise details online several times since then and there is no change reflected there yet. I'm kind of concerned that we may be eating at Palo's twice on one day if our last day is truly going to be 'at sea' since that is also the day I had our evening reservation for dinner and it is the day of the brunch offering. I tried to change our Palo reservation but of course at this late date there are no openings except for the first night at 6:00 and 6:30 which I don't want. Do you think they will just shuffle the reservations for everything to the day's itinerary they were originally intended? for instance, I have a couple's massage for the Nassau day, so whatever day that is, would they switch it? I would think this would be a logistical nightmare for scheduling appointments. Any advice or wisdom from someone who has been on a cruise where they changed the itinerary would be greatly appreciated. I'm a worrier by nature so this has me concerned.

Last time my TA checked it was still the "regular" itinerary - but who knows?

Happy travels to you all - feel free to knock and say hi (although I hope we are not just hanging out in our cabin)

Last year it was mid 70's at CC. The water was pretty cold at first - but easy to get used to!

Thanks Lisa, I'll just trust that they know what they are doing! ~Michele

I can't believe I'm leaving tomorrow and have not packed.

I guess I'll take our gift for WINMO and leave them for someone else if we don't hear anything.

I just started actual packing today- we leave Tuesday morning.

I am doing the same with WinMO. If I see another fish extender in my travels, I will put those gifts there.
I imagine we won't hear anything at this point.

Safe travels everyone- hope we see each other on board!

We are checked into our resort on property, and received a much welcome surprise...we were upgraded to a tower room at Contemporary!! The weather is very warm, we are wearing shorts and short sleeve shirts, no jacket needed! The nights are comfortable, pants are fine then! We are looking forward to meeting everyone on the ship! See you then!

 

[wdwscout]

Congrats on the upgrade! The Tower is fantastic!!

See you on the ship.

What was the "reaction" to the news??

 

[saksn4]

when our DD's found out the "secret" they were completely shocked! Our younger DD couldn't close her mouth after reading the secret message she found in her stocking. Our older DD (being a teenager) was excited and had to text her friends to let them know! Now on the trip, they keep asking what other surprises we have planned Our response is "You never know what may happen next!" since they don't know we have a verandah on the cruise (our last cruise was an inside stateroom) I think they will remember this vacation for a long time!

Thats great!!! I'm taking my kids(dd's17 16. ds 10) on a spring break cruise. its just Dad & 3 kids..... they know we are going to Orlando, not on the boat... I dont know how long i can keep quiet...

Sorry to jump in and interrupt here. (Dad has been sick so I have had a little hiatus.) I was trying to catch up and am now freaking out because of the possible change in Nassau day. We have booked 3 rooms at Comfort Suites for the 1st thru 2nd. If the itinerary moves does anyone know if it will be a problem? I know we are outside of the usual cancellation window. I figure we are maybe a very late arrival? (23 and 1/2 hrs late!) All we really want is the wristbands for Atlantis and signing priveleges.

 

[wdwscout]

While DCL still says our itinerary remains the same, paragd911, and now Passporter, are reporting the change. (Although, their 2 itineraries are not the same)
I expect we will find out once we board!

I don't know what happens with non-Disney reservations, but if I were you, I would get on the phone this morning and call the Comfort Inn and ask.
They may move you automatically with an itinerary change, but I would want to know for sure.

See you on board!

 

[Paragd911]

It was nice to meet you all last week!!

 

[saksn4]

Nice picture! It was very hard to keep quiet and not let my dd's know about the cruise, but it was even better to see their reaction to the news! Have a great time on your spring break cruise! I am sure the weather will be wonderful, as it was great for us! It was very hard to come home to the temps in the 20's!!! Brrrr
