6/22/08 ~ Short but sweet 4-night Wonder sailing June 22, 2008

[twinboysmommy]

We are so excited for our very first cruise!

Just checking to see if anyone else is planning on that one, too!

 

[twinboysmommy]

dixieslanding,

Guess it's just our families ~ looks like we'll have the whole ship to ourselves!

Maybe we'll get a few more to join us soon!

This is our fifth... so.. been there done that. But can't wait to get back on the Wonder again. Did Magic Western and just got off Eastern last week.

It will be fun seeing the 'differences'... but.. it's TOO FAR AWAY





I'm a pseudo experienced DISer so ask away.


Do you have your door sign yet?

 

[dixieslanding]

Sorry..

We will be in 6028, 6030 (connecting) and 6032. All on port (left) side. First three verandas so no issues w/ second hand smoke.

6032 will be my group

Me.. DD: 42
DW: 42
DD: 13 as of cruise
DS: 11 as of cruise


6030 will have mother in law (best one in the world... i'm a lucky guy) and wife's brother's daughter... 9 as of cruise?

Next will be brother in law and wife (they are older than us but got started on kids later.... ). their two twins will be with them... boys... 7 as of cruise?

This will be our fifth cruise and their first. I'm going to miss the day at sea.. but castaway cay is nice and i know the secret fun spots.

Will probably arrange for stingrays at castaway cay (we did at Grand Cayman but in laws haven't.. so i think i will pay for a fun trip for them).... and dolphins at nassau (we did that first cruise --- 3 day--- and i said.. GREAT but never again due to expense... but i might treat them this time).

ahhh.... to cruise again.. has it really only been 1 week?

Hi!

We haven't booked yet as Uncle Sam decided to take my cruise deposit. I've got to take care of that nasty (very unexpected!) surprise and then we'll book next month. I'll let you know our room when we get it . . . most likely Cat. 10.

You and your wife are the same age as DH & I (he'll be 42 next month and I turned 40 last Nov.). Your kiddos are way older than ours as we were late getting started . . . it took us 10 years to have them!

Our twins will be 7 on the cruise, so they will be the same age as your brother-in-law and his wife's twin boys! What fun!

I'm happy to have someone to share the "secret fun spots" at CC! (You will share, won't you? )

Not sure yet if we'll be able to afford the stingrays or dolphins . . . sure sounds fun though!

Kristie

p.s.
No door sign yet, I still need to work on our trip itinerary for this July's Disney trip!

 

[dixieslanding]

so .. absolutely.

Doing taxes right now so glad I already paid deposit.....



Bump

Can you add the following to the thread description... should help people find it.

[twinboysmommy]

No problem ~ I changed it from 6/22/08 to read June 22, 2008, instead.

Kristie

 

[dixieslanding]

LOL...

Actually you want to have both ways on the thread. People might search either way.

 

[twinboysmommy]

Geez, I hope I'm better at cruising than I am at posting about cruising!

Off to fix it again!

 

[twinboysmommy]

Hellllllooooooo!

Anybody else sailing on this date?

I know I'm new to all of this, but I have to say that I'm really surprised that more people aren't on this cruise!

I guess I figured that most summer cruises would have lots of DISers. Is it that more people are doing the longer cruises?

Kristie

 

[dixieslanding]

Give it time. It's still early. This will heat up in a couple of months.

 

[dixieslanding]

and.. if your ready.. you don't know how close your date is...

count down

Hi.

My family and I are also scheduled for this cruise. Myself, wife, daughter (14 at cruise time) and son (9 at cruise time). This is our second trip on the Wonder and really looking forward to it. We will be spending 6 days in WDW before. This trip is kind of a celebration for my daughter who will be going into High School in the fall of 08

My kids would love to meet up with others there own age. We did this in 06 with my daughter and she made 2 great freinds who she still talks to often.

 

[dixieslanding]

But early for that now.

Again...

My Daughter 13 as of trip
son 11 as of trip

Brother in law has younger (not be much) girl and twin boys.

See you there!

Welcome. We have lots of experience w/ Disney Cruise so ask away. A bit early for most plans but never too early to discuss.

 

[dixieslanding]

[dobelover]

Thank you for the offer dixieslanding. Our family really likes DCL when cruising with the kids.

Good Morning - My niece is here for a few days and I almost slipped about the cruise . She was explaining when she goes out for dinner she always orders chicken noodle soup and a pasta dish, since that is her fav meal. I can't wait til she sees her choices for dinner!!!!!!!!!
