A rabbi, a priest, and a pastor board the Wonder: we're back!

26 days until Mexico!!! ​

81 days until the Wonder!!! ​

I know, I've been such a wimbler with decisions on this trip It looks really great, 3.5 - 4 hours, 30 minutes at each reef, snorkle equipment included. I absolutely love anything and everything to do with water. I was really excited and glad I had decided and booked something, and then thought I wouldn't be able to sleep in.... Its from 9:45-1:45. So in order to get ready, have breakfast, and be to the meeting place on time I would have to wake up at 7:30. While a perfectly plausible idea I cherish my sleeping in on vacation. I'll just thoroughly enjoy the water on CC day.

Good think you looked at the time. It looks really fun though. Either way, Cozumel will be a great day.​

You are going to love the Rainforest room!!! It is truly heavenly

I'm starting to get in the 'it feels real' phase

Bonus on the OBC!

I think it's only $50 but that's a Drink of the Day for 5 days. ​

You'll love the Rainforest Room!

Any suggestions? I know there are heated tile loungers but that's about all I know.




And I'm a total space cadet. We are flying United to Mexico. ​

23 days until Mexico!!! ​

77 days until the Wonder!!! ​

In 2 days, on 1/14 I can check in for the cruise and make any sort of reservations through Disney. In Cozumel we are doing Nachi Cocum which I reserved through Nachi. On CC, I don't think there's anything to reserve. From what I have read, bikes and tubes can be rented while on CC and there's no real need to reserve sooner. Any thoughts on this?

Pam is going to add me to our Palo reservations.

Do I need to reserve my Rainforest Day ahead of time?​

Yay!

No need to reserve bikes and tubes...there should be plenty there. Just show up for the Rainforest Room.

Cool on both counts Jill, thanks! I know they sell only a certain number of Rainforest Room passes per day; do I need to decide what day I'm going?​

I never had to...I just showed up. I'm thinking the "limited # of passes" is hype to sell them

Ahh, gothcha. Well it worked on me. Good to know. It's so hard to predict what activities Joshua will like but I know he'll love the sports deck on the Wonder. I was reading a report last night, Alaska trip though, but it showed great pictures of the ship.

Our FE closes 1/31. I have stopped buying little FE trinkets until I know how many families there will be etc. My FE's won't be the same for every family. I am hoping to get to know some of them on the FB page they have. Because this wasn't our original cruise, I'm a little behind. They've had this group for a few months.​

I'm not sure that they limit the amount of single day passes they sell, but I know they limit the full length passes so it doesn't get too crowded. You can show up any day to redeem your pass.


You're getting super close to Mexico!!!!!

​

Did you have a wonderful weekend away from home?

 

[MEK]

I am definitely doing the Rainforest room! Can't wait.

My oldest son's GF is in Cozumel right now and she just texted him a picture of the pool. OMG! I am dying! It looks like heaven there. He's actually taking it well that he wasn't invited to go. Some rich uncle in Cali arranged the whole thing. I just hope she keeps sending those pics! Made me think of you!

It was very nice, thank you. We came home last night though as there was a huge storm scheduled for today. Guess what? Not a flake of snow. I should know by now. But yes, we had a great two days away. It was an easy drive, gorgeous weather, we had three great meals, and met up with some old friends as well as my old doc from my hospital and his wife. Good times. I had a nice size hangover Friday morning.

What do you like best in the Rainforest Room? Is the pass good for all day or like an hour or two. Guess I should have asked when I booked. ​

Yay for pics. What hotel is she at? Where are our rich California uncles? I've got two alcoholic ones and one in jail. Not kidding.

Your son is a good sport for not being upset. I'd be pissed. ​

 

[Pinkocto]

Too funny about the storm. I rarely look at the weather here, they're always wrong.

Glad you had a great weekend

Your day pass is good for all day. You can come and go as many times as you want.

Here are some pictures of the RR

One of the steam rooms

Heated tile loungers

And my favorite

These are very hot tile seats, like a dry sauna

Sorry if you've seen these before, they're from my Wonder TR.

 

[rentayenta]

Thanks for the photos Pam. Ahhhh, I'm so excited! It looks wonderful.

Swim attire I'm guessing?​

 

[Pinkocto]

If youre just going to lounge on the loungers it would probably be fine just to wear regular clothes, but two of the saunas are wet saunas so you'll want your bathing suit for that. They have robes and towels available too.

 

[eandesmom]

I love that you think of the OBC in terms of 5 DOD!

I look forward to hearing what you think about the rainforest room, I'd like to look into that if Jeff and I do our cruise in September. I did go the spa for a mani/pedi and used the gym but that was it, I think I'll look into a lot more if we actually go on this cruise.

Sun is on the horizon for you!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent. I've been talking with a friend on FB who's been on 3 Disney cruises and I can't believe how much there is to do. Do you attend any of the trivia games or night shows?​

What cruise are you looking at in September? I'll let you know how I like it and what I did. I figured if I bought the pass, I'd have to try it. I can't let 18.88 go to waste.​

Sun is on the horizon for you!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes ma'am it is and I am elated. It's been dark and hazy and smoggy with just glimpses of sunshine for weeks here. ​

22 days until Mexico!!!! ​

I'm all checked in:

I see our Palo reservations Pam. Woot woot! It feels super real now.

We did all of the night shows (or most) and some of the comedy/other entertainment acts. No trivia or bingo for us

Jeff and I are currently booked on the 9/20 Magic out of San Juan. We will see if that really happens...I have until July to figure it out.

Thanks! When I checked in I had no idea I needed all of our info like Passport numbers and flight info. You should have seen me scrambling at 5 am.


We have the 11:30-12:00 PAT. SAS picks us up at 11:00 so that seems perfect. I have no clue how it all works but it sounds good.​

You making fun of me? I like some trivia. Joshua does too. ​

Oooo fun. Just you and Jeff? Why July? PIF date? Does the new 18 month rule apply?​

I had this looming fear it would get canceled. I am so happy Thats not the case.......for now. I think I have a little cruise cancel PTSD. ​
