Alaska * May 24, 2011

[gonecrusin]

Hello Neighbor !
We are counting the days till the cruise ! We are busy making our first FE, and I'm sure it won't be as great as most of the others will be ! (lol) Leigha will be pleased to hear that there will be other young adults on the cruise. She really wanted to go to Alaska with us, but at their age I'm sure hanging with mom and dad all the time could be a little bit of a drag!
Looking forward to meet you and looking forward to our first Alaskan cruise and FE activity!

We have 2 early 20 year olds with us also. Last cruise everyone was very young or 'matue' (is this the right term?). I'm it will be a blast!

See ya real soon!

Hi everyone. My name is Beth and I'm traveling with a party of 7 on the May 24th cruise to Alaska. Sorry I'm late to the party. Thanks for all the work you've done - Still so much for me to learn. We're Disney Vacation Club members and we've been on three other cruises but first time on the Wonder and first time to Alaska. Can't wait.
I see that it's too late for the Fish Extender but we'd love to participate. We will bring gifts for our girls to share - usually it's more fun to give than receive.
We will have three girls in our party - age 9, 10 and 12. Staterooms 2038 and 2036.
I'll read through the posts and see what questions I have.

Nice to "meet" everyone - looking forward to a great trip

We almost finished the FE's last night.

I'm trying to narrow the tags down and am trying to get a better hold on names. The names in red are the ones I am sure of. Could you PM me with your info or just confirm that it is correct.

 

[fireplug]

We fly to Seattle in TWO WEEKS! Hoping that at least ONE day there is a sunny day (but not counting on it) May be awhile before we return so I want some great pics!

Looks like more than just us are getting excited.

Happy Mother's Day! to all the mother's out there.

We bought extra FE gifts too so we're fine with adding a few more to our list.

We have a 12 year old daughter too. (& age 10 son) It looks like there are more older kids than younger in the M&G list so maybe that means the kid clubs won't be very crowded.

See u all soon!

 

[Diannah]

I'm happy to add the two groups to the FE, too. I did get extras, just in case. (Oh, and is the family with two cabins going to have one or two FE's?) So far only one person has said anything about my zip tying the gift to their FE, so as long as I don't suddenly get a flood of comments saying no, that's what I'll plan on.

SO looking forward to this!!! Haven't had a real family vacation since '04, and between shows and working full time, my biggest worry is that I'm going to sleep through the whole trip!!! "Just" two more weeks to go - 80 hours of work, two more performances , strike, and an audition.

Not to mention packing. And prepping all the critters for the house sitter. And if we're packing, that also means lots of

Yep, probably sleeping most of the trip!

 

[Christy May]

Squid,

The way the weather here in the Pacific NW has been the last few weeks it has been one sunny day a week with 3 - 4 rainys in the week. Yesterday had some real down poors with pea size hail.

The sunny days however have been beautiful and in the 60's. Makes the rainy days not so bad

Happy Mothers day to all.

Hi All
I use Print Shop for all my designs for the cruise. I tried to use Office and really found I was limited on the fonts. Welcome to all the new folks on the group.("3 Hour Alaska Tour") If you would give me your info,cabin# and names in your crew, I would gladly update the list which I will hand out at the M&G on the 24th. My DW and I will probably go around to others who could not make the first day M&G and leave the list at your room provided. Looking at the boat at Tracy Arm Fjord almost make me nervous due to the hull thickness and somthing they call the can opener effect..lol I have full faith of no incident occurrence on the Wonder.. Need to finish and refine the packing next week as we are constantly changing our list in the suitcases...
Any color shirt will do for me Steve..

Hi All
Is anyone else carrying some Alcohol on the Wonder.. We will probably be bringing some Crown Royal or some other local liqueur on board.. Something to mix or to do straight up with a smooth result.. Second question is to find out if there is a liqueur store in Vancouver-I would hopefully think so, this way we can secure it before the cruise after our flight.. 16 days and a bottle of RUM- Yo Ho Yo HO a sailors life for me AAArRRgggghhh Me maties-Sailin the Alaskan Blue. Shiver me timbers as there be Whales in them there waters..

Hi James
There will be lots of liquor stores in Vancouver. www.bcliquorstores.com/store/locator
There are also beer and wine outlets too. Lots to choose from

 

[disnanny]

there is a great pic of the Wonder in Ketchikan on the webcam. You need to go to the second pic

[Christy May]

We will be bringing some Alcohol on the boat also. I am told it has to be carried on
in a bag. We fly in the day before so we should have plenty of time to find a store.

 

[actownley]

My first time to post, hope this gets to the right spot!

My DD, a confirmed Disneyholic has planned a wonderful cruise for us.
My DH and I are 2 of a party of eight. Our party is scattered over the ship and our room # is 7550. I've had a lifelong dream to cruise Alaska and can't wait to go.
