5/22/2008 Wonder Cruise!

[ImagineerM]

Hello everyone!

So I've been lurking around for a while, wondering if anyone else was going to be heading out on the May 22, 2008 Wonder Cruise to the Bahamas.

Thought I'd put together this meet thread to see who else would be there.

It will be the first leg of our Disney Honeymoon!

We have an ocean view cabin for our first Disney cruise!

Hope to hear from some fellow cruisers soon!

Cheers,
Josh

I also was wondering if anyone else was cruising on this date. Was just getting ready to post a thread and saw that you had already done so.

My group consists of myself, DH, DD (21), DD (18) and DS (21). We are going on this short cruise for my daughters graduation. DH and myself have cruised before.....both of us were on the 11 nt Southern in 2006 and then I went with friends on the 14 nt WB TransAtlantic Repo last August. We are hoping that we can adjust to this "short" cruise!!

We are in a cat. 4 on deck 8. I have always done fish-extenders and my daughter was hoping we could do the same on this cruise, but there may not be enough DISers going to participate. Cant wait for them to experience their 1st Disney cruise!!

Hopefully others will be cruising with us! Cant wait to meet you and your new wife!!

This is so exciting!!!!!!!

We will be travelling around in Florida the entire month of May and I am sure we will have the time of our lives.

Hello fellow cruisers,

I've been reading and gathering information for our first Disney cruise, and just decided to register and post up.

I'm going to do my best on getting the abbreviations right (I've got the list up as reference).

So, here goes...

Cruising on this trip from my crew is myself (27) , DW23, my sisters 10 and 19, my father and step-mother.

Alright so I couldn't find abbreviations for most of that but I hope I still did good on my first DIS post.

Cheers!

 

[Disney Sweetie]

to Swissgirl66 and MicCheckOneTwo..... I am looking forward to meeting you on the cruise. This will be my 3rd cruise, my DH's 2nd and my DD(18), DD(21) and DS (21) 1st cruise.

Hopefully there will be others to join us as time gets closer.

My DW and I will be in Florida for a few days around this sail date. We are trying to decide if we want to go on this cruise. Our flight was already scheduled to arrive on Wednesday 5/21 and we are due to fly home at 12:45pm on Sunday 5/25. If we decide to join you, I'll let you know. Decisions, decisions, decisions...........

 

[Disney Sweetie]

Verandah Man I hope that you and your DW decide to join us. It would be great to see ya.

 

[Verandah Man]

Our DD is going with her school choir/band to Chicago from 5/21-5/25 so the Mrs. and I decided to escape to Florida for a few days. We do have a vacation home about 90 minutes from the port area, we're just trying to decide if we want to spend a few days at our Lake County home, or take the 3 day cruise. It's been a long winter for me, I just want to get away for a few days to rest before our busy summer starts.

 

[abca]

We'll be on the cruise too. It will be our 5th Disney cruise. It will be me, DH and DS(9). Anyone else out there cruising with young kids?

 

[Disney Sweetie]

abca!! Looking forward to meeting you and your family.

 

[TiggerzFan]

Just trying to iron out some details but we may be joining you, too, along with eight family members from PA. (Kaykels and crew)
Our family just moved here to Central Florida six months ago and it's about time we officially take advantage of the FL Resident Rates!!!
It's been 18 long months between cruises... way too long.

 

[Disney Sweetie]

Tiggerzfan......Here's hoping that things work out so that you and your family can join us. Only 8 weeks until we sail! Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Is anyone else taking a fish extender? This is my kids 1st cruise and they want to take a fish extender. I guess I can always sneak in some lil surprises when they are not looking if all else fails!!

 

[kaykels]

HEY VERANDAH MAN! You have to come along with us! You sent me the pay-it-forward postcard from Mickey to my kids about 4 years ago. I'm in the same situation as you. I have airfare to Florida May 21-26. I was planning on visiting the TiggerzFan gang, and then we saw this great Florida Resident rate pop up. I'm supposed to be at a convention near Universal, but the cruise sounds like MUCH more fun! We have a hold on some cabins and we'll be booked by tomorrow for sure. Just figuring out cabin logistics.

 

[Verandah Man]

Still haven't made a final decision, just yesterday our DD asked if we were going to Florida during the summer. My DW and I are still trying to decide what we want to do.

 

[Disney Sweetie]

Come on Verandah Man!!! You and the DW just gotta come cruise with us. It will be lots of fun!!!

Looking forward to meeting you kaykels!!!! to you and your family!!

 

[TiggerzFan]

Well, it's official! Our extended family of 12 is onboard and while we're sure not in our first (or second, or third) pick of stateroom category or location, we were able to take advantage of those nice FL resident rates!
This is a nice last minute surprise and leaves DSIL (Kaykels) and I just a short period of time to obsessively plan and pack.
So here's a shout out to all of our new cruising friends from Deck 1!!

 

[Disney Sweetie]

We need to plan some kind of small DIS meet once we get onboard. Maybe at the sailaway party?? I would love to meet everyone before we all get to busy. Let me know what you all think.

I know what you mean about the packing.....I have been so pre-occupied with all my daughters SR activities, getting ready for prom and graduation, that I have not really thought about what we need to be packing.

8 weeks from today and we will be on our way to Orlando!

Can't wait to meet you all!!
