Wakey Wakey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its a very quite cruise this one. Just think of that Caribbean weather while you are all frozen and snowed in.

I'll give this a little nudge. We will also be on the Oct. 9th western. We were on the 10/25 western last October and had a great time. We are DH, DD 10 when we cruise, DS 8 when we cruise, MIL, FIL and myself.

Hope to meet some of you here before we sail. And what exactly IS clotted cream anyway?

Hi Joeys
Thought everyone had cancelled with such little activity on this thread.
We did 4 night Wonder last Oct. This is our 1st 7 night cruise and can't wait.
Booked our hotel yesterday staying at the Homefield suites near Universal for 2 weeks after the cruise.
Just to decide wether to get cab to and from Port or 1 way hire cars.
Our DS can't wait to get back to Kids club onboard.

Hi wayneg

I'm sure you will enjoy the 7 day cruise and WOW three weeks on vacation! The weather last October was awesome...not a bad day and the water was still warm and calm except in the gulfstream. It was our first cruise and it was great but my kids didn't want to get off the ship the last day. The days just flew by. We live just north of Orlando about 1 hour from Port Canaveral and our kids have fall break during that time but it didn't seem like the ship was really full last year. By the activity on this thread I'm thinking UPGRADE and a really good Fl. resident rate!

I think I have read on other threads that the limo service is very good for transportation from the port. I remember reading something about discounts or coupons somewhere...if I come across some information I will pass it on.

We are booked for 10/9/04! Traveling with DH, DS9 and DD5! Went on 3-day cruise in June and can't wait for the 7 day. I would love any advice about activies for the kiddos at Cozumel, any suggestions?

 

[HebeJebe]

Well no wonder the main dining seating is full already!! I had no idea so many people were on the Oct 9th sailing.

I also will be on the Wonder along with about 10-15 other adults for my wedding at Castaway Cay!

The only excursion I have picked out so far is the ruins in Tulum. It just looks to beautiful not to go. And maybe a spa treatment or two.

 

[CGC33A]

We should be going also (if all works out as planned). It's me, DH, DS (10 at the time), DD (4). I expect to be traveling with friends, with DD (4), DS (2) & oldest DS & DIL & GD (1). We are on deck 7. Still trying to decide on excursions good for all of us (or as many as we can make happy). Seems that this cruise will be very full since the Wonder will be in dry dock. Hoping for FL resident rates etc. but don't think there will be any that week (thought this date showed up on the DVC value season rate list)

 

[Scooby3x1y]

We're so excited! We'll be there as well.

Me, DH, DS's 13,11, 10 and dd 8. This is our first Disney Cruise, we're excited already!

 

[WDWgirls]

Hello - Just found this thread this morning. We will be on the 10/9 as well. We were on the Oct. 5th 4 night last year. It will be myself, DH, DD8, DD8. We are on deck 7 in Cat. 5. I can't believe early dining is already booked! I guess I just made it (I booked in late Jan.)

We had such a great time last year - I hope our weather is just like last October. CC day was picture perfect!

I'm so EXCITED!!!

I would love to try to get to know any fellow cruisers before we set sail. Especially for my DS(9) and DD(5)! Hey if you are bored take a look at a website my DH designed in his free time! I think he is just a little excited about cruising again!

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one obsessively keeping track of anniversaries like yesterday! Are we there yet?

Pootsie,

I wish I could take credit for it but it is all the DH!

Last cruise we stayed on 7- and had no problems, I hope 6 is just as great!

Hi everyone,

My DH and 2 DD's (ages 4&7) will be on the 10-9-04 cruise. We go to WDW every year but this will be our 1st cruise ever. We're all very excited. I would love to meet some people who will be on the same cruise, especially those of you with girls the same ages as mine. My girls will be in different kids programs due to their ages and it would be nice if they could meet some friends their own age before we arrive.
Can't wait till October!!!!

Michele

Hope you have good appetites.

Hi MicheleRDH!

I have a daughter who just turned 5 and will be seperated from her brother due to their ages( he will be 9). Last time we cruised with our neighbors and each of my kids had their best friends to pal around with. I am sure that they would feel better if they knew someone. We are in 6522. Maybe we can introduce them. I am traveling with my DH, DS(9),DD(5) and my MIL and FIL.

Can't wait till October!
