Swissgirl -

I'm a bit concerned about that chocolate. Never mind it might not be safe from your DH, it most definitely won't be safe traveling around for 3 weeks in this Florida sun.

 

[EPCOT_VA]

OK, we didn't even make it a year...

We took our first Disney Cruise last July in the Med. Now its time to try out the Wonder. Count us in for May 22nd.

Myself (41), DW (41), DD (10) & DD (8).

EPCOT_VA !!! Looking forward to meeting you and your family! Only 6 weeks to go...Cant wait

 

[kaykels]

YEAH!!! Welcome to our little group EPCOT_VA!

 

[TiggerzFan]

Welcome aboard, EPCOT_VA!
Seems to be a small but festive group here!
I think the plan is to meet at 4:30 on Deck 10 for the Sail Away Party......someone remind me exactly where.

 

[Disney Sweetie]

Our little group has grown to approx. 25 adults (18 and over) and 13 children!
We plan on meeting at 4:30 on deck 10 directly across from the big screen tv. Unless you would prefer to meet Starboard or Port side?? How will we recognize each other? To bad it is not a much larger group and we could order lanyards or tshirts or some other way to identify each other! Any ideas??

I of course will be the one dancing around cause I will be so happy to be onboard!! My kids will be the ones looking at me like "who is she??"

Kaykels....I guess you dont want to hear that the weather in south Mississippi is absolutely beautiful!! I can not stand the cold and am so glad it is warming up!!

My family is on this cruise too. My DH and I are having a hard time keeping this a secret from our DD11 and DS6. They have suspicions, but I keep telling them we aren't going. I'm about to explode. This is a good outlet for me.

I've been trying to do tons of research. I have a question for you experienced Disney Cruisers, what time can we board the ship? We are staying at Disney World for 2 nights before and will be driving over that day as soon as we can get on the ship.

 

[kaykels]

Suzy, I pulled that one off once and it was SOOO much fun. My 11 year old doesn't know we're going. We told her, but it didn't sink in. She thinks we mean in 2011 on the new ship. She's a little slow on the giddy-up sometimes. I'm sure she'll figure it out when we're boarding. hee hee.

 

[kaykels]

We'll have to figure out a way to ID ourselves, but I don't think it will be with tiaras and green feather boas! On our last cruise there was a crazy, insane bunch of Dis-ers that actually showed up at the port with the feather boas and tiaras. That was one weird crew. It was similar to a clown convention. Seems like we're cruising with a great bunch this time around. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. I'll be the one with the margarita in one hand the Mickey bar in the other.

 

[TiggerzFan]

WELCOME, SUZI! My, this little group is growing by leaps and bounds!

Hey, I'm in on the "secret" thing, too. My DD6 has no idea we're going. We keep talking about "maybe soon we'll go again". If we don't slip before then, when our family (Kaykels and crew) arrives the night before, THEN we'll tell her. She is going to FREAK OUT!

Hey Rachel, maybe we'll tell Kelsi and Alyssa at the same time!! LOL!

In the meantime, boarding usually starts around 12noon but the Port opens at 10am. Many like to get there early to take advantage of the characters that may appear, registration for the kids' clubs, etc. And, of course, there's the line for boarding.

Pam -

I'm sure we can come up with something for our group of DISers here.

But it'll probably be rather easy to spot our group - the 12 of us will be in matching t-shirts. Yep, that always goes over BIG with the men.... hee-hee, it's the one time we can make them do it.

And don't be shy about updating Rachel daily about the lovely weather. She LOVES that!

Suzy......this brings our little group up to about 41.....27 adults and 14 children!! Growing everyday.

We will be driving over night to the port from Mississippi so we will arrive fairly early.

[cruisindisney]

I posted a question about what they are and everyone is saying that it's a group meet thing. Are we doing it? What exactly do we do?

 

[Disney Sweetie]

Suzy....I am trying to figure out how to post a picture of my fish extender from the WB TransAtlantic cruise last August. I will have one on this cruise. You just hang it outside your door on the "fish" and others on the cruise can put little goodies in it. Goodies I have received are candy, pirate trinkets, magnets, postcards from the givers hometown, etc.... Nothing big, just little happies. You just go around whenever you want to and put the gifts in the fish extenders. I think there may be a couple others on our cruise doing this. My kids want to have it (it is there first cruise).

As soon as I can figure it out, I will post a picture.

See ya soon!

This is a picture of my fish extender from the WB TransAtlantic cruise. I decorated it to go with the TransAtlantic theme. I was cruising with my friend Laura from Los Angeles so I put our picture on it. The Barcelona or Bust part was a last minute idea and was so true. I missed my connecting flight in NYC to Barcelona and had to spend the night in NYC scared and alone. But thanks to my DIS friends that were already in Barcelona, they got me on another flight the next day and I made it just in time to sail!!

Yeah, Donna moved to Florida almost a year ago and feels the need to email me the weekly weather forecast, sometimes 3 times a week. It's a form of entertainment for her. Okay, I get it, I really do, it's warmer in Florida than it is in Pennsylvania. You win.

Well in that case Rachel.....today in Purvis, MS it is going to be a high of 85 with partly cloudy skies.

Have a great day in Pennsylvania and all of us in the warm south will be thinking of you! Sorry....couldn't help myself!!
