anyone on the wonder 11/21/04?

Tag, we'll have to see if our 22 yo grad student DD is up for the game, she happens to love kids and is great with them. We're on deck 7 also.

A meet we found once that worked out pretty well was after the life boat drill and before the sail away party. A good spot semi out in the sun and fresh air was outisde by the Scoops ice cream parlor. We have late seating so it won't spoil our dinner. - Russ

Lets hear it for Deck 7!

I was thinking after the drill would be a fairly good time as well, as it seems to be a time when we all won't be rushing around.

Plus, we're on late seating as well, so it definately won't spoil our dinner

Sounds good to me. We have early seating, but nothing spoils dinner for my sons. We'll be there. Oh, and we're on deck 8.

The time and place for the meet sounds good to me. We're on deck 6. Just look for Garfield. Jeannine

Hi Everyone. I am sooooo excited!!! This is my first cruise. I want to play the game Tag, sounds like fun! I will also be on the 7th floor. I think castoff said they would be on 7th floor also. Interesting..... hope you get the last tag for your scrape book castoff. Good Luck. I do have to say reading these boards have given me a lot of useful info. You are ALL doing a great job, thanks.

Welcome Minnie1000. Glad you've joined us! Although we've cruised twice before, this is our first Disney Cruise.

Did you guys know that "our ship" is in dry dock in Virginia being refurbished until the 17th? I'm sure it was beautiful before, but WOW, we'll get new beauty. This just gets better and better!

Looking forward to meeting everyone at the ice cream social! Yum, yum.

One of the things I'm looking forward to the most is the Christmas decorations! I've heard they're usually done towards the beginning of November... and I'm planning on getting family christmas cards done with DH and DS.

Thanks !! This is exciting. Tina

 

[DisneyNotes]

This is exciting! Can't wait to see the beautiful ship.

 

[Garfield29]

In 2001 we sailed the Sunday before Thanksgiving. The whole ship was decorated for Christmas. While we were on the ship they built a gingerbread house. It was very large and smelled very good. When they were done there was a sign on it that said it was the largest gingerbread house at sea.

We were planning on sending one of our wedding pictures out as a Chistmas card. Does anyone know if they decorate Castaway Cay for Christmas to? I am already planning the pictures in my mind. Tina

 

[beccas334]

I've seen pictures on the internet of Castaway Cay's decorations. If you do a search on Yahoo for castaway cay christmas, the first website that pops up has some photos!

Welcome minnie1000

I didn't give it much thought that holiday decorations would be up. It will make the trip even better. It sounds like we'll have to get the hang of this tag -- you're it game. Sounds like fun.

This will be our first time on the Wonder, we did a 7 day on the Magic in February 2003; DD was stuck in classesand didn't come with us, but her 2 sisters made the trip.

Sounds like everyone is up for an ice cream social (DIS Meet) after the life boat drill.

 

[DisneyPoly]

Count my family in -- I just booked today -- have two Cat 10 rooms -- it will be me, DH, DS (15) DD (12), DS (11) and DD (6). I would love to join in the meet.

We traveled on the Wonder once before in 2002 and traveled with two other families from home -- this time it's just us -- I'm just hoping the kids enjoy it as much.

Hope to see you all then!

Maureen

P.S. Add me to the tag list, please "DisneyPoly"
