9/10/2012 ~ 6 WONDERful nights ~ VC to L.A.

[Imagineer2Be]

Hi Everyone!

My DH - Donny, and I will be doing this cruise as the 2nd part of a B2B with the last Alaskan cruise! We are huge Disney people and this will be our 6th cruise - GOLD Castaway Status - yeah!

We will be visiting DL (2nd visit) after this cruise and I will probably have tons of questions about that as well as California in general too!

I would be interested in doing Fish Extenders and other activities! Can't wait!

I want to do fish extenders too I was really bummed I didn't know about them until a week before my last cruise.... Sounds like there is a bunch of people doing the B2B... Has anyone looked at port adventures yet?

 

[cyclenut]

My wife and I have talked about moving this deposit to a 2013 date but we have decided to keep it. We really like this itinerary and we'll only need a one-way flight to do it.

We're not planning on booking any formal shore excursions. There is so much to do and see on your own it doesn't really make a lot of sense to us.

Even though it is a year away, we're still really looking forward to it ... now I've got to update my signature!

 

[Sillysox]

I'm totally on board with doing fish extender also. After I learned about it I showed it to my daughter and I think that's one of the main things she's looking forward to on this cruise---you would think the kids club, or the shows or the pool?! no...Fish Extenders. And the second most exciting thing: Free food and ordering whatever you like off the menu or room service at whatever time of day. Girl after my own heart!!!! .

Annnyyyway! Point is, I'm really hoping that there will be a fish extender veteran on board who's willing to organize a fish extender exchange!!!.... I would but this is our first Disney cruise so I'm not up to organizing it myself... I wouldn't know how to go about it!!......

BTW: I have a widget on my android phone: it's called Days Left Widget. (see I'm not content with just a ticker on here, I need one on my phone too! LOL)

it says 343 days left.....WOOT!

ok....back to my housework... (yes I said that just so I could add that smiley)

 

[*tinker*bell*]

I've only done fish extender once however I don't mind organizing it I can compile a list of everyone who has shown interest when I get home... I'm currently sitting in the Orlando airport waiting to board a flight to head home can't wait for this cruise

I'm so excited! My husband and I are going on this cruise for our very first Cruise ever!

How excited am I? I have already figured out a different door decoration theme for each day.

I am down for the FE. It will just be my husband and me! I'll add a fancy, excited signature soon!

Tinkerbell, can you add us?

DH: Jay (40ish at the time of the cruise)
ME: Mary Ann (pretending to still be 29)

We are also considering moving this cruise to a 2013 itinerary! We just got back from our first WDW trip, and impulsively upgraded our tickets to annual passes! (the weather was weird, I was sad, DBF was trying to make it better)

So! We are thinking about moving this cruise to 2013, so we can go back to WDW in 2012. I'm not sure we could afford the PTO or $$ of doing both...Maybe one day the itineraries will come out so we can decide!!

Anyhow, if we keep this cruise, I would definitely be interested in participating in FE exchange!

Now that the 2013 dates are out I'm curious what you decided to do?

We have an OBC for this cruise and we had another deposit down for 2012 aboard the Fantasy that did not have the OBC. We decided to move that Fantasy cruise to 2013 and keep this one. We could have done a more complicated transaction and moved the Fantasy cruise deposit to this date and then moved this one, with the OBC to the 2013 date, but we didn't ... although ... :

We haven't booked any airfare or transfers yet, but it is all but certain we're keeping this cruise!

 

[Tehanna]

Hooray! The more the merrier!

How experienced are all of you that are going on this cruise? How many cruises have you taken before, and how many of those were Disney cruises?

We're newbies, but I'm reading everything I possibly can!

Already I have a zillion FE ideas, I'm looking at packing lists, and extra things to bring. We're booking this with our TA on Monday, I'll post the room number when we do. We're looking at a deck 6 veranda cabin, probably category 5C.

Was anyone on either of this year's Wonder repo cruises?

[Kathymford]

Now that the 2013 dates are out I'm curious what you decided to do?

We are still holding tight. We are waiting to see what the Wonder and Magic sailings for 2013 will be. I'm starting to think that those won't be announced until the Spring though. Yikes! I'd like it to be sooner, but oh well.

This will only be my 2nd cruise - I sailed on the Dream in February. Yes, I loved it so much that I booked this repositioning cruise!

Under a year now!!! Can't wait!!

It's been a while since I have checked in here! Update.....mom and dad did decide to join us for both the Alaska and this cruise, it will be nice to spend some quality time with them.

This cruise will be my first Platinum! So #11 all DCL, and my DHs #10. We have sailed all three ships, the last two both this past year. Dream double dip with our three kids in July, and then I did a caribbean last month with my sister and parents. So we do have some experience with DCL

We are also heading out on the Wonder in Feb '12! This one will be just DH and I, and we are adding our DL trip to this 2/12 MR cruise, so we won't be sticking around after this AK/PC B2B.
