1st Timers! Family of 5 Wonder Cruise!

[Bridgetm317]

We are super excited & overwhelmed about our upcoming Disney Cruise! We booked late (Jan2016) for our 5 day Western Carribean Cruise setting sale April 22!!! I'm so new here. I think there are links for my particular cruise date? How do I find that link? Also looking for ideas on what we can do with our 8 yr old (girl),7 yr. old, & 4 yr. old (boys) kiddos while at CC & Grand Cayman. Any tips appreciated! Thanks!

we're doing the dolphin encounter in grand cayman (there is one that accepts kids as young as 4), it's tied in w/ tickets to the turtle farm... has good reviews.
for CC we booked the glass bottom boat tour, not the best reviews but that early in the year i read the water is still a little cool and that is the only excursion that will allow little guys.

If you are looking at the forums page, there are two links at the top to different sections of the Disney Cruise Lines boards. One is for cruise meets (that's the one you need) and the other is for cruise trip reports - which are so much fun to read, and will help you pass the time until your cruise sails. So go to the cruise meets area, and click on the sailing that applies. It may be something like Find your 2016 Magic Cruise Link Here (or whichever ship you are sailing on - could be the Wonder?). Then you'll see a list of sail dates for that ship. Click on the correct one, and start reading through the posts by your fellow cruisers - so much fun! I am hoping that you have the best time ever - we are sailing on a 7-day cruise on the Fantasy (also Western Caribbean) about a week before you. It's a great time of year to sail. I know you'll have a great time. This is my first Western Caribbean, so I'm not sure what excursions to suggest at Grand Cayman, but when I had a 4-year old, he enjoyed feeding the stingrays at Castaway Cay, and I would suggest that. Lots of fun for the entire family - but you don't NEED an excursion at Castaway Cay to enjoy yourselves. There is Stingray City at Grand Cayman which I hear is very good, and we are going to do that one. They can even hang out most of the day with the youth club counselors at Castaway Cay. They will have activities planned all day on the island. Have a terrific vacation - it will be here soon!

Take clothes pins, strong magnets (the walls are magnets), and a few highliters. Also, download the official Disney cruiseline app in your app store for iDevices and Android devices. You can access menus, event times, and everything all via the app, not to mention text to others on the ship (through the app).

Sounds like you will have a busy busy time. With 3 sea days, make sure the oldest ones get a chance to go to the kids clubs on the first day to meet some friends. it might be a bit harder for the 4 year olds.

Have a great time, try not to stress.
