5/31/11 -- Chilling on the Wonder

[disney minnie]

Not sure. I was trying to hide while making the reservation since our children don't know yet and my 10 yr old is at the nosey stage. I did tell them that we were going on a cruise and asked for a cruise room, but I'm not sure what's included. I will call when the kids aren't around to get the details. If you find out first, I would love to know.

Thanks!!! I did find out from my confirmation letter on the Family Package it inlcudes the following:

Family Package (2 Adults, 2 Children) includes:

Deluxe Guestroom Accommodation
Cookies and chocolate milk for children
Treasure Hunt with a prize
Complimentary in-room movie, popcorn & pop
Breakfast Buffet for 4 (2 Adults, 2 Children) in the Cafe Pacifica (6.30am - 10.am daily) per room
Access to board games and Playstation
Late Check out of 2pm
500 Airline points

Since my brother is wheelchair bound 1/2 the time we may just stick with the family package as they offer the breakfast buffet for all of us and then the in-room movie/popcorn so the kids are entertained the night before. We won't be able to sightsee as much as we want in Vancouver and kind of knew we would be "stuck" at the hotel the night before/morning before the cruise.

With AAA only the room is included.

Hi Everyone: We just booked today-so excited . We will have two cabins on deck 6 with 2 adults, an 18 yr. old (my baby is getting old!), 17 yr old; 14 yr. old and a 12 yr. old. I also booked the Pan Pacific with that great AAA rate! Hoping for better prices on the flights-a little steep-but we want to fly into Vancouver-so may have to bite the bullet sooner rather than later... Does anyone know when the shore excursions will be released? Thanks for all of the great info so far!

 

[Mineu]

I just booked Pan Pacific with AAA rate. 199 CAD city view before the cruise and 159 CAD after the cruise.

part harbor view before cruise was 229 CAD
full harbor view before cruise was 279 CAD

full harbor view after cruise was 239 CAD

I actually booked the full harbor view at first but then changed it and decided use the almost $600 on excursions.

Hi: I just booked the cruise and Pan Pacific as well-I was quoted 220 pre cruise and 180 post cruise AAA rate-I'm wondering if it went up since you booked-or if I should try the family rate as we need two rooms...

 

[disney minnie]

Is it the same type of room? We booked the city view. If you were quoted those prices for the city view then they definetly went up.

 

[Mineu]

Yes-it is a city view-we're usually too tired to admire the view after a full day of travel! The agent said there was less availability on 5/30 then on 6/7-so that is why our night on 6/7 is less. I would love a better rate since I need two rooms each stay!

 

[Mineu]

Hi all: Just wanted to amend our cabin #'s we are now in 6511 and 6507 instead of 6515. The agent didn't understand why I wanted to switch-I told him that "small" hallway was going to seem like a football field when I had to dash over to the the other cabin in my p.j's to wake everyone up!

Hi everyone, a quick post to introduce myself! My family and I will be flying in from Australia to go on our very first cruise, and a disney cruise at that! We are super excited! Travelling will be myself, my husband and our daughter who will be 4 yrs old. I've booked room 6515. Would love to hear any tips for our first disney cruise and any tips about what to see and do in vancouver - we'll be staying there a couple of days and a week or so after.

 

[Mineu]

Welcome ! You'll love the Disney Cruise!! You got our old cabin-we were separated by the hallway- that's a big space to cross in my robe every morning to wake the others up . Anyway, there are lots of great tips around. Check out the Vancouver thread and the Alaska thread as well. Welcome aboard!!

Well, flights are booked and hotel in booked... Pan Pacific. We will fly in on Saturday, May 28th and spend a couple days in the area. Our flight back to Greenville, NC doesn't leave until around 7:00 p.m. and we fly overnight home, so we will also have right much of June 7th to explore too...

Thanks for the welcome Mineu! I just noticed that I'd booked your old cabin! It looks like a good pick to me - I read that the sideways cabins are more spacious. I haven't paid my deposit yet, but hopefully we'll be able to stick with that cabin Yes I'll definitely be checking out all the tips on here in the lead up. I don't know anyone who's ever been on a disney cruise (they aren't well known here in Australia), but I'm planning on making the most of it! It's quite a big investment to fly over, but I'm hoping it will be worth every penny

 

[disney minnie]

We had to cancel. I hope everyone has a great time!

 

[Mineu]

My son's senior trip was moved-so we had to move our cruise as well-we jumped aboard the 6/14/11 sailing-post some details for me when you get back! Have a great cruise everyone!

Can't wait to meet you all in Vancouver! We (family of four: Kevin (41); Jeanne (41); DD (14) and DD (10)) are beginning to count down the days and figure out flight and accommodations before and after. This is our second Disney cruise (1st was Magic, Oct. 2007). Keep us posted! Lovin' the info!

Rumor has it that DCL will start listing the shore excursions on the web site in the next few days.

Hi!!! We booked this cruise almost a year ago and are thrilled! It'll be our first Alaskan cruise and fifth Disney cruise. We have one stateroom for myself (27); my friend (we just added him to the reservation last month - it'll be his first cruise!); and my parents. We booked our flights this week, we'll be flying from Halifax to Vancouver a couple of days before the cruise and flying home the day we disembark. We're all anxiously awaiting the shore excursions to be announced! Look forward to hearing planning tips and suggestions as the time gets closer!

Welcome aboard.
We have been off the boards for several months and only have time to drop by on occasion. Waiting for the shore excursions and then it will start feeling like it is real and we can start planning.
