anyone on the wonder 11/21/04?

[DisneyNotes]

Welcome to the Wonder! Glad you could join us. Your kids will have fun, I'm sure. I have three sons, 16, 14, 9. Hope to meet you at the ice cream party and maybe the kids will hit it off.

 

[DisneyPoly]

Sounds good to me -- I can't wait -- the 15 year old is the most hesitant about going -- he's at that awkward teen age -- my 12 and 11 year old are pretty outgoing and the 6 year old will be no doubt have the easiest time making new friends.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

We're driving down from Bucks County, PA and staying overnight at Disney's Hilton Head Resort the night before. After the cruise, we're staying at the Poly for two more nights before returning home.

DisneyPoly,
We'll be driving from the ship to the Poly LVC for the weekend, too. We'll be attending the Luau for our Thanksgiving dinner. Fun!

Your 15 year old will have a blast, I'm sure. There will be so much to do. It's been 2 or 3 years since mine have been on a cruise, but they loved it and are really looking forward to it. In fact, it was my 16 year old that initiated this cruise. (he was 15 when I made the reservations)

See you soon!

Welcome DisneyPoly,
I agree with DisneyNotes,your kids will have fun. I have two sons,13 and 9 both are very excited about the cruise. This is our second Disney cruise but the first one with a teenager.


DisneyNotes- a luau for Thankgiving dinner sounds wonderful! Since we won't be home until 6pm Thanksgiving day we'll probably have PB&J'S. YUM! YUM!

See you soon!

Welcome Disneypoly & family !
My son is 14 and I am hoping he enjoys the teen program as well. My daughter is 11. I think it's great if we can get the kids to meet first and break the ice. We are spending Thanksgiving at the Swan Resort with 18 family members for a wedding/Thanksgiving dinner. The number keeps going up.....oh my.
I will add you to our list to "Tag your it" Just give me the deck that your on. Make a magnet with your screen name on it and put in on your cabin doors. Everytime A green ear finds your door, You have to find someone elses and write there name on it and so on. At the end we will see how many times someone got tagged. Tina

 

[castoff]

Just curious to all............. did anyone get there docs yet? I can't wait to get mine!! Tina

 

[DisneyNotes]

I called and they said they would be mailed the 28th or 29th of October. I don't know if that's just to my part of the country or everywhere. I getting excited, too! I did receive my hotel packets though.

Welcome Disneypoly,
Your family will have a wonderful time, when our daughters were that age they always met up with others and just had a great experience. This just reminded me of a funny story. When we were on the Magic in 2003 DD 24 came with us. She is very young looking. One of the teen counselors saw her and asked why she wasn't participating in any of the teen activities. Her reply - "my husband would prefer that I didn't"

I see that you are from Bucks county PA. We lived across the river from you in Somerset County NJ.

It sounds like we are the only ones that may be having a more traditional Thanksgiving dinner, of course we're leaving the ship to go prepare it. My dad lives about 35 minutes down the coast and we're headed there for the 2 days post cruise.

I'm still getting used to the TAG game. I guess I need to make myself a magnetic sign for the cabin door.

[DisneyPoly]

Thanks for the welcome. We truly appreciate it. I will make our magnet this weekend -- the kids will enjoy making door signs!!!

We are located on Deck 2 -- last time we were on 8 in a Category 4, so this will be a little different, but last time we traveled with other families and had our DD in their cabin next door, so we were able to get a Cat. 4 room for the rest of us. Although this time it will be nice having 2 bathrooms.

Counting the days!

Did you book through DCL? Maybe I will call and find out when I am going to get mine. I will be jumping up and down. Tina

Russ: I think it would be funny if you were right down a couple of cabins from me. I gurantee you would be tagged. lol

 

[DisneyNotes]

Yes, I booked through DCL and the reason that I called for the date is that we are leaving town on the 11th, which is 10 days early, and I didn't want to miss the packet in the mail. They did say that they could send it to the GF, where we'll be before the cruise, but I asked them to just send it as quickly as possible. I hope we don't end up in Florida with our documents sitting in our Austin, Texas mailbox!

I hope the October dates were correct.

 

[zack&alexmom]

We just found these boards a few days ago and it is just making me more anxious for our time to get here. I have DH, DS(7) & DD(5) with me and we would love to join the game of tag. We are on deck 5. We will also try to make the meet at Scoops. See you all soon. Any one else staying at Port Orleans Riverside before the cruise?

 

[DisneyNotes]

Welcome zach&alexmom!

Glad you've joined us. See you soon.
(We're staying at Beach Club Villas right before the cruise.)

 

[castoff]

Welcome Zack&alexmom The more the merrier !
I have added your name and deck to our list for tag. It should be alot of fun. Just print it out and take it with you. We are staying at the Hampton Inn at Cocoa Beach the day before. I also see that we are neighbor's. We are flying out of Rochester. Tina

[Lilo5]

May I join? I'm so glad to know that my family and I will have company! My kids are DD(17 yrs), DD(13), DS(9), DS(5), and last but not least, DS(2)!

Can someone pls explain how that "tag game" goes again?

Thanks!

 

[DisneyNotes]

Welcome and of course you may join us!

I'm a little fuzzy on the tag game myself, so I'll leave that for someone else to explain. I do know you'll need to mention your deck number in one of your posts here (not your room number) and make a door magnet with your screen name on it.

I have a 9 year old son, too. Maybe they'll hit it off and want to play. I also have a couple of teenage boys-14 an 16. Can't wait to cruise.

 

[Garfield29]

Welcome zack&alexmom and Lilo5! I too have a DS(9).I think it would be great and became friends. I also have a DS(13). For anyone who has children going to the Lab,are you going to allow them signout privileges?

see you all soon!!

We'll be staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge for three nights before the cruise!

 

[DisneyNotes]

We have never used the children's activities areas on cruises. I'd like to try it, but don't know enough about it. I wouldn't allow my 9 year old to sign himself out though because he might never find us on the ship. Do the kids go for specific activities or is it done by time blocks?
