Last hour-or-so been changing our flight home / rebooking a rental for an extra day. Dw said; "lets stay an extra day at WDW and come home friday afternoon instead of thursday afternoon, I said it sounds good to me.So is anyone doing "DISNEY" thursday after the cruise? If anyone is flying SWA, they have a $49.00 1-way sale going on.

Good morning everyone!

tikimimi - I see you guys are going to Vero Beach in a couple of weeks! We live in Florida and I have been considering going there for a weekend getaway - have you guys been before?

 

[JenGC]

Thanks JenGC and Don! We're very excited to be on the Wonder again! We're looking forward to getting to know all of you on here before we set sail. School is out for me for almost another month, so I'll be on here fairly often between now and then. Once school starts, my time for this kind of thing is very limited. It seems I spend way too much time grading but English requires a lot of time. Anyway - we're excited.. we have Palo booked for breakfast and dinner already. Now we need to find out about the FE on this cruise and get to know everyone!

So, if you're a teacher, how are you able to cruise this time of year? I am glad you are though!!

I was going to do the parks afterward, but with the wine and dine going on and it being opening weekend, I decided to do another cruise. Much more relaxing.

I saw the new fairs but they don;t have it for our flight. I booked when they had the $79 one way flights so I think the days I am flying in and out, I think they booked all the specials flight.

Hey sweetie! Congratulations! I am glad that your hubby is supportive of you. That is very important. I went swimming Saturday but nothing more than that. I am not eating extremely healthy but trying. I did good last night, but it us hard to eat in the ER (sewing emergency)!

Good morning everyone!

tikimimi - I see you guys are going to Vero Beach in a couple of weeks! We live in Florida and I have been considering going there for a weekend getaway - have you guys been before?

We have been - it was actually our very first resort after we bought into DVC. We love Vero and Hilton Head. Both offer a chance to just relax in a slow paced environment while not missing out on the Disney level of service! Kamy and Steve will be down there and visit with us for a few of the days, so we're really excited about seeing them again as well as relaxing - doing nothing but reading and playing - for a while! Hopefully our kids will get to join us even if only for a couple of days, but that remains to be seen.

So, if you're a teacher, how are you able to cruise this time of year? I am glad you are though!!

This cruise happens to fall during the week of our fall break, so it is perfect timing. I have taken a week off to cruise before though - some things are important, you know! I had told them before I signed my contract that year that I would be, and they were fine with it. I work at a private school now, but when I worked in public schools, it would have been easier to take a week off - my vacation time accumulated and carried from year to year; I don't have that any more.

Whoa Girl! You lose 20 and there'll be nothing left of you! Don't show me up too badly now!!!! Just kidding - you go! I have found the older I get, the harder it is to get it off - especially given bad knees, 2 herniated discs, and spinal spurs... yuck! I am proud of you! And yes, we are blessed to be married to great men who loves us for who we are - Go Steve!!!!

We are planning on staying after the cruise, but it will all depend on cash flow at that time. We want to do food and wine that opening day and make use of my week off work as much as possible.

to Misty, Jas, Alex, Mimi & Mack!

I think today I crossed a boarder...up until now it's been.."yeah, I have plenty of time to get ready for the cruise" but I *finally* put in for my passport yesterday and since it looks like unemployment may be a way of life for a little while, it gives me time to work on my FE stuff .

I've updated the spreadsheet if anyone would like it, and it is inclusive of anyone who said they were coming on this cruise, regardless of FE participation.

Haven't been on because I somehow managed to pick up pinkeye on the 4th..so reading and typing have NOT been strong suits the last couple of days..lol. Hoping it will turn the corner tomorrow now that I have antibiotics and steriods on board.

Time to go sterilize some more washcloths..

OMG...there is a 5k @ Castaway Cay Now, I am so NOT a runner, but getting off the boat early and getting to see the island without a ton of people is something I could definately enjoy (plus work off some of those Mickey Bars lol)

Anyone wanna powerwalk/kinda run with me?????

Awww so sorry for the pink eye! I hate that stuff. I hope you feel better.

I am glad you got your passport before the 14th (I think that is the date). I heard they are going up like $35 each for adults.

Hugs to you!!!

Sure! Well, I am not sure if I can keep up with you though. What time were you thinking about going?

I am so sorry about the pink eye - that can be painful not to mention annoying. Thanks for the welcome! I'd love a copy of the spreadsheet.

A 5K - my knees won't let me do it, but my dh might want to. Is there more information about it somewhere?

We were going to take the kids to MNSSHP on the 25th,stay onsite & drive to the port in the morning...But now I'm thinking of going to MNSSHP on the 30th instead. I was thinking how sad I will be to go back home right after the cruise,lol. I'm trying to see if I can get a good deal on priceline for country Inn and Suites for the night before the cruise. I looked SW for us, & it's $98 one way

I would like a copy of the spreadsheet. Can you PM it or do you need my personal email?

Morning!

I was looking over my FE list and there are some details I am missing for MistyNJas and TikiMimi

MistyNJas-What dinner seating are you? A few are going to link reservations on second and first dining. Do you want to do that?

TikiMimi-I assume it is just you guys going. Do you know your cabin number and dining time?

79 more days!!

I know tell me about it! It cost us[dw & myself], an extra 40 dollars from a thursday to a friday afternoon flight. If you do stay at CI & S , at check-in ask for the 4th floor port side , rooms 400 thru 420 [ONLY EVEN NUMBERD ROOMS], that way on the morn. of the cruise you can see the ships come into the port, we did last Sept o9, had rm 400.They had a great Br'bar also. As for Pr'line , I saw in March[on dis-B] they where getting rooms to the toon of 50 to $70.00.We pd. $120.00 in 09.... Good Luck. THis year we are at POFQ. , for 3 days B-4 our B'Z to the B'a m"As cruise.

Cool thanks! Did you want to pick a character for our Dis magnet?

For those of you who want to combine seating, Disney said that if we have more than 8 sitting together, they would just group the tables together and we can rotate who sat with whom each night. Totally voluntary! There is a group sitting together in both eating times so let me know if you want to. I am going to need your reservation number to tag the parties together.
