Hi everyone!,
I just wanted to let you know that we will no longer be joining you on this cruise. We were really looking forward to it, but had thought the kids would be out of school by the time of sailing. Well, this year they have 2 weeks off at Spring Break due to a conference, so won't quite be out yet. I was so looking forward to going to Castaway 2 times and meeting all of you! I hope you have an enjoyable cruise and enjoy Castaway! You guys are so lucky to be going twice

Sorry to hear that you had to reschedule. Enjoy your other cruise and I hope the weather holds so that we get two good days at
Castaway Cay!!
Hello all! Just thought I'd join in on this group. I've lurked by a couple times and since we're crawling up on the year mark I might as well make an appearance. This is our 3rd
DCL cruise and 2nd time on the Wonder. We booked a cruise a year ago on the Magic for another 7 day trip in Dec. 09. We were just booking to hold. We decided that we'd save a little money and push it out further and a double dip at CC was too much to pass up. We're actually going to stay at WDW a few days before and make a long vacation out of it. Our group is Me (Bryan) and my wife, DS 10 (at time of cruise) and DD 7 (atoc). Unlike the OP we are STILL in KS. I'm sure you are loving the views of the rockies in Denver. Not so much here but we still call it home (and its been a great home). Looking forward to reading about you all and counting down the days together. I'm not a big poster but I may join in from time to time. Lets hope for a great cruise next year with a great group of people.
Bryan! I think we were originally booked on that same cruise in December 2009. A lot of us booked that as a "dummy" cruise when on the Panama Canal cruise last summer. There's even a meet thread for that cruise called "DUMMY -- The Cruise Your Heart Desires Most". It's mostly people from the 2008 EB Panama Canal cruise, but it's a place to stay connected until you rebook. I think some are holding out for the 2011 new ships.
We actually miss Kansas quite a bit and if the economy were better, might even try to get back. The thing we miss most of all (after our friends and family) are the schools. We also miss the trees.
Granted, the weather here is much better and the views of the Rockies are awesome. Here's a picture from our bedroom window:
However, Kansas City is home and perhaps we'll be back in a couple of years.
Where is Kansas do you live?
Hi, we rebooked onboard our cruise last summer, and just changed our date to the May 30th DD. (We did the DD last summer, too, it's a lot of fun to go to Castaway twice!)
This will be our 4th
Disney Cruise...
It's me (Carla)
DH (Jeff)

We've got two other families joining us - I hope they'll join the thread too.
Carla!!!
I've added your family to the first page!! Please tell the other families about this thread.
Hi everyone. 
We are just off the Wonder, and decided to book this cruise on board to "hold us over" until the 2010 WB TA in September. 
I was shocked that our room was available, a full 6-7 months after booking was open.
We are Mike and Jodie (we also answer to Alex and Nessa. Alternatively, "hey you!"). We don't do well with group events or exchanges, but you can find us belly up at the bar at Signals or Diversions. You will also likely see my fat butt sitting in a beach chair on Castaway Cay.
Looking forward to counting down with all of you.
I'm so jealous! We so wanted to do the 2010 WB TA as well. That's right after our 20th wedding anniversary. We even had our
travel agent check into prices and we almost put a deposit down, but we would have to do it without the kids due to its timing. We just felt that was too long to be gone from the kids without being able to get back to them when we have those 5 or 6 sea days in a row.
Getting excited about hitting the year mark, anyone else staying in Cocoa/PortCanaveral before the cruise? Where? I guess it's still too early to book the hotel. School has posted next year's calendar and thank goodness I "guessed" correctly about the last day of school (Friday, May 28) - not only that, it is an early dismissal day (yea) so instead of leaving on Saturday to drive down we might just have to leave from picking children up at school ! Tshirts would be great - there are 7 in our group.
We did the Radisson one year and liked how close it was. It was great waking up and opening our hotel room door and seeing the Magic for the first time!! We also enjoyed the little Italian restaurant next door.
We now like to stay on-site the night before and just rent a one-way car. We still get to the port early.
Christopher, where are your beautiful photos? We miss you
I'll start posting again soon. I'm just trying to get through these last few weeks of school with the kids.
. We'll be the two NJ'ers sitting there with drinkies in our hands as well 
Track season is coming to an end with the banquet this coming Friday night. However, Marching Band season is already started for next year. Colton has been attending practices on Monday nights...with the exception of this week, it's tonight.....and he and I helped with the annual flower sale. (A local nursery sponsers us and brings out a tent and a TON of flower baskets. We sell for 2 weeks straight, ending on the Monday after Mother's Day. We sell about $20,000 in product each year, the band earning 20%)
