Friday I booked Delta 2/17/12 to 2/26/12 for $217.00 round trip
EWR to SNA with one quick stop SLC
SNA to ALT then EWR on the way home.

We're going to Disneyland(1st time) for 2 days then off to Disney Wonder for a cruise. The flight was cheaper for us to fly to CA than to FL. go figure???

Is it to early to worry about snow? LOL

That's awesome! Our best flight is over twice that price!

I'm trying to talk my extended crew into Disneyland, also. Most seem more interested in Rodeo and "star" gazing.

Hi everyone. We are booked on this cruise, and it is our first Disney Cruise. We are seasoned cruises and are looking forward to trying a new cruise line and ship for us.

Hi Jack & Craig,

Welcome I am glad you booked with Disney. I tired another ship last Decemeber (girlfriend's only cruise) and I wasn't happy. Disney really knows how to wine dine & phamper and throw a great party.

I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Hi everyone. We will be on this cruise too. Sailing will be me, DH, DS (almost 9 at cruise) and DD 7. This will be our second Disney cruise. We were on the Magic for Thanksgiving 2010 and loved it SOOO much that we booked this one while on board. As of now, our plan is to have this be a surprise for our kids. They know nothing about it and we are going to try to make the surprise last until we pull into the port that morning.

Jack and Craig, I am sure you will love it. My husband and I had previously been on a Celebrity cruise and did not think that the Disney cruise would be able to surpass it, but we were bowled over by the Disney cruise. It surpassed Celebrity in every category except maybe food. It was not just the expected "family and entertainment" categories that Disney excelled at. We loved it.

This seemed so far away when we booked it, but it is getting closer!

Just came back from our Alaska Disney cruise. It was really was magical!!! It was our first time on the West Coast, we loved it (except the time change)

Hilary, what a great suprise!!! The kids are going to flip. 3 years ago we cruise on the Wonder for Thanksgiving. Forget the turkey, DH & I ate Lobster. Yum Yum. LOL

We went on a Celebrity cruise last December. I ran upstairs at 5pm for the sailaway party. I was all ready to PARTY. Guess what, it was just me and the smokers. Nobody else showed, including the staff. It was very disappointing.

Jack & Craig, I am going to a girlfriends HS reunion is SF this Nov. Can you recomemend any places to rent in the heart of the city? We are a party of 5 and want to be together. If you know of any my email is Purtypat1@aol.com

If you put your times and airports for your flights to
http://www.kayak.com/ I did & they sent me an alert. Act quickly,have all of your info ready. Our friends are cruising with us. One hour after I booked our flight at $217.00 RT the price rose another $400.00 and has been $600.00 since. My friends missed out we are waiting for another Kayak alert drop.

We will be cruising again. We were on the Magic Jan 2011 and loved it so much we booked another one. After booking we moved to the west coast. so we changed from a Caribbean cruise to this one. We had so much fun on our last cruise I can't wait for this one. It will be myself, DH, DS (8 almost 9 by cruise date), DD (6 almost 7 by then). Can't wait. Is it to early to start talking/thinking about fish extenders? my kids loved that last time.

It looks like we might be on this cruise too. We sailed the Wonder over Presidents' Day last year and booked on board for Spring Break this year. Unfortunately, our school district just released their calendar and our prediction for Spring Break was off by a week. They did, however give us a "ski week" in Feb so we moved our reservation over.

We live 15 minutes from the Port of LA so this is an easy and fun cruise for us.

Hi There~
I have a couple of questions for you

How was the weather last year? Was the boat crowed? Did kids sail free?

The weather was cold and rainy in LA but very nice in Mexico. It was cool the last day at sea as we were out in the Pacific again. Warning: Many people felt sick on the first day down and on the last day back. If you are prone to sea sickness, make sure you bring meds and take them early.

The boat was full (most likely because of KSF) but it didn't bother us. We avoided the buffet during peak hours, had brunch, tea AND dinner at Palo and enjoyed the Cove Cafe and other spots we didn't get to explore on our first cruise (5 nt dbl dip to CC).

Our daughter loved the Edge and our son (who was 8 at the time) tolerated the Club. It seemed crowded but he didn't participate in any activities other than making/eating cookies and Mario Kart.
