...and a happy New Year! 12/30/2010

So what is the first thing you want to do when you get on the Wonder?

We will probably head to Lunch at PC and then check out the differences between the Wonder and the Magic, since we have only been on the Magic.

We have our Palo's reservations so we don't need to make changes. Don't think we need any SPA treatments, but that could change.

Might get Galley or one of the drink tasting tickets. We have done the Alice Tea party so will probably do get tickets for this trip.

Anything that we might need to get or do before heading off to our room at 1:30?

Laura, is the Alice Tea Party for small children only? I haven't heard anything about this before.

In my opinion it is geared towards the 11 and under crowd, but you know your own kids if they would enjoy going to it. They get a Chocolate Chip Cookie and Apple Juice tea and then you sit a table and a little show is put on by Alice, Mad Hatter and they pick 2 children out of the crowd to play the March hare and white rabbit. They do have the children do a little dance round the room together.

It was all very quick and that is why I decided this year to skip and free up some room for others, since we have done it before.

If any one is interested you need to get your tickets from Guest services on boarding day. It is free, but it does fill up fast. You will need one for each on in your party that is attending. DD and I went together. DH skipped on that on.

Guess What?!? We have made a spur-of-the-moment decision to NOT leave the ship on January 6th. We are going to take the Panama Canal cruise back to Los Angeles!!!

wow I'm jealous. We did the last WB Panama Canal repo, best cruise ever!

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you!!!

Hope everyone has had their fill of turkey and all the add-ons. We have had a really cold wet day today, are expecting our first freeze tonight, all this after being in the 80's yesterday!!!

Kathy, We got our first freeze this morning too. Which is very early for us, but we got the cold front that was in Seattle. Not wet here though, so we are dealing with Cold and dry. Looking forward to the tropical warm moist weather in a month.

Hope everyone is have a great weekend!

Looks like we hopefully are joining you guys. It will be myself and my roomie. This will make our 10th Disney cruise. We were last on the Wonder just before Halloween.

We are both Nurses, taking a break before hopefully heading up to Alaska for the next 2 years.

We are raising my two grandchildren, but are leaving them at home for this cruise. It is strictly going to be a very relaxing cruise for us.LOL..

Oh yea, we are signing up for the cat 12 GTY and see what we wind up with .

Ladypoo! Great that you can join us. Lots of us took the chance with Cat 12 and it paid off. Did you book this on your last cruise?

Glad you are joining us. Let me know before Tuesday if you want to be included in the FE exchange. We are finalizing the list with Tuesday being the cutoff date. Then we only have a month until we get to enjoy the Wonder again!!!

It was cold today, but oh so beautiful today with sunshine and blue skys considering the dreary rain yesterday. The temps are supposed to be in the 50's and 60's with lows in the 30's for the next few days.

Finished constructing my FE tonight (finally!!!) now I get to put the embellishments on it. Hope what is in my head comes out for the final effort.

We are in. Thank you, TA. We combined 2 reservations and paid for this one. We wound up only owing 70$. We will probably rebook the summer Fantasy cruise on board. No way we are going to make the LA-Vancouver repo, as we will just have moved up to Alaska, and gotten settled in.

We would like to join in the FE group.

It is going to be different, as we have never travelled without the girls. LOL... Hopefully we can relax and not be too worried about them.

Dis meet is going to be at 3 pm at the Promenade (sp)lounge?

Great! Got you down. Just let me know your cabin number as soon as you know it.

And yes, you have the meet info correct. There will also be a mini meet at the hotel that some of the group are staying at if you are able to get to it. Have not finalized that info yet as far as I know.

We almost did a child-free cruise, but the logistics did not work out so we are settling for our kids' love of the kid club for some quiet time.

Laura,
Thanks for the info. I didn't realize they held back reservations for other groups! I would also love to get a brunch for New Years Day. It sounds like that's a popular plan! We'll just keep our fingers crossed and see what happens.

We're looking at Bernard's tour in St. Maarten. I have been to St. Thomas before. We'll just grab a taxi to a beach that day unless I find some amazing excursion in my researching.

Has anyone done the Stingray experience on CC? Wondering how it is. I think my kids would enjoy it but I'm not sure about how much time is involved.

Sharron

Just looking back through the thread, and wanted to let you know that we booked with Bernard's so maybe we'll see you there.

 

[sdchickie]

Relaxin, I was just trying to get my numbers for the FE and I noticed that you have 2 rooms, are both rooms in on the FE or just your room?
Also, has anyone been to the CI&S at the port? I'm wondering if there is a pool bar there that we could meet at the night before, that way the kids can swim and the adults can talk.

FE for one room only 6080. My daughter has some ideas for gifts, but I am not sure if she will have time to pull it together. She is in the middle of essays and finals for her 4 yr studies in Global Studies and Women Studies. She plans to save the women of the world. That is after the 2nd degree in midwifery, at least that is the plan today. She is trying to convince her boyfriend in making the gifts. If she gets it done, I will just add to my pkg. I know that she will be the one that will be helping me deliver. I don't think it is my hubby's cup of tea.

Getting excited - only 18 days of work. Running is not going too well. It was cold and rainy. We got a dusting of snow on the weekend - which I do mind running in the snow, but the weekend was crazy busy.

Great! We'll see familiar (by then) faces! I've read such good reviews about his tours. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Regarding the night before the cruise at CI&S, will it be warm enough for the kids to swim? After driving all that day they would love nothing more than to take a dip. I'll just have to make sure the swimsuits are at the top of the suitcase! And I'm sure I'll love nothing more than to sip a fun drink!
