1st Cruise- April 3-6, 2008 (3-Night,Wonder)

[Ness2289]

My DD and I will be doing a Land and Sea spring break. We'll be doing 4 land and 3 sea. We'll arrive at WDW on March 30,2008, and we'll be staying at the Polynesian. We are very excited!

Hiya! We are also booked for April 3rd - 3 nights on the Wonder - I was just looking for a thread so I'm so glad to have found you!

We're doing our own Land and Sea - we're DVC members and will be at Saratoga Springs from Sunday through Thursday and then board the Wonder on Thursday.

We've sailed twice with DCL, both times on the Magic. So we're excited to have a chance to sail on her sister ship the Wonder.

I'm Cindy D., wife to Gary, mom to Nathan and Zachary (the N and Z that make me a Disney mom). We just got home from the Mediterranean cruise and rebooked on-board for the April 3rd 3-night. Another family also rebooked for the same sailing - I'll have to send her the link to the thread.

We'll be in cabin 6116.

Looking forward to getting to know you.

Yea!!! A friend!

I know that usually the shorter cruises don't get a lot of people on the Meet Threads but hopefully we'll have a few more DISers taking a short jaunt on the Wonder!

What category / deck are you going to have?

 

[Ness2289]

We will be Cat. 7 on deck 7. Eight months out and I'm planning like its in a couple of weeks! Oh the joy of Disney!

Half the fun of a trip is the planning! I've been to Nassau once before but DH and the kids haven't. If the kids don't want to get off the ship, we'll likely leave them on-board for a bit. We're mostly interested in Castaway Cay and just relaxing. It's the end of our spring break week.

My two sons and I will also be on this cruise, though they don't know it yet. We are also doing a land/sea trip with four days at AKL prior to the cruise. We'll be celebrating my older son's 16th birthday.

 

[nzdisneymom]

Welcome Pryncesa! What an awesome birthday gift for your son - and how cool to do it as a surprise! My boys will be 10 and 11 (almost 12) when we sail in April.

I've not stayed at AKL before but I've eaten at Boma -- mmmmmmmmm.

We've never stayed at AKL before, either. But my son has been wanting to stay there since he knew it existed. He loooves animals. I'm really looking forward to seeing his face when we arrive at the hotel. If I can keep the secret, I'm going to wait until the day we sail to reveal the sea portion of the trip!

Hi There!! The time is moving pretty swiftly right now, but I'm sure it'll drag just before time to set sail. I'm so excited!!

Hi, Jamie, and welcome to the thread! I am a first timer also, so I am looking for the tips right along with you! My DD will be 9 at the time of the cruise. I need to get our passports applied for soon, as I am sure this will not be our last cruise! I still can't believe we're actually going. I guess my wallet will make me a believer soon enough!

 

[nzdisneymom]

Jamie - welcome to the thread! How wonderful to surprise your family!

For those of you who don't have passports yet, I highly recommend going ahead and getting your application in -- you certainly don't want that panic of not having gotten them back in time.

Now that we're at the almost-6-months window, it's time to start giving the trip some thought! The nice thing about a shorter cruise is that it doesn't require so much thought / packing We're going to be at WDW for a few days before we sail, so I'll have to double-pack. Or at least think about how to pack.
