April 8th, 2012: WONDERful Mexican Riviera!

[socababy]

Do you have any magnets made with our sail date but with no names? I have a bunch from our last trip to the MR but haven't had a new one made up with our sail date. Now that I am thinking about it, I guess I should figure out where I put all my magnets.

I found all of mine on this thread:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2745821

I used the links in the designer's signatures to find the graphics that I wanted. Then I just added my own text to them (I downloaded the Walt Disney font).

Is there anything special that you were thinking about. I might have some already done (or that I can easily create for you) that I can send you.

I can email you what I have tonight (they are on my computer at home).

All of the ones I did started out pretty generic and I added our names, dates, etc. So I can send you the generic ones also. Or if you want me to personalize some, I can do that for you too.

If you have time to personalize them, that would be great! If not, the generic ones are fine too! Thanks so much!

Good Morning All....
OK, I'm so ready for it to be April 8th, LOL. I spent some time playing around with graphics last night.
Socababy - I emailed you some that I was playing with. Let me know if you got them (and if there are any changes you would like me to make).

DCW - if you want to PM me your email address, I can send you some of the graphics I have been working on. If you includes names, I can add them for you.


So how is everyone else doing? I thought I had all my FE gifts finished but then thought of one more thing I want to do so I will get that done this weekend. I'm having a very hard time holding off on packing. I'm at the point where I am ready to start laying out clothes to make sure we have everything. LOL - I will probably need a whole suitcase just for pirate costumes. I'm so glad that we are local so that I don't have to worry about luggage constraints

OK, I'll put it out there one more time. Does anyone want to have a group meet? The only time I have ever done one on the Wonder it was in a stateroom so I'm not even sure where the best place to hold it would be. Any ideas?

JetskiGirl - I am so with you about April 8th. It seems everyday I wake up mentally chanting how many days are left. Today, we're at "18 days, 18 days". I know, I'm a spaz.

I've started mentally packing as well and trying to make a list of things that I have yet to get (ie: sunblock!). I think I will actually need to start a packing spreadsheet...simply because all of the packing is up to me, as DH will be traveling up until Friday night before we leave. I'm sure I'll be packing late at night as DD still doesn't realize we are leaving on Easter!

As for a group meet...I've only cruised one other time and we did do a cruise meet. We met in the Promenade lounge and kept it pretty short, as we met on the first day! The Promenade lounge is pretty central and everyone can go there, so even the kiddos can attend! Maybe meet on day 2? What do you think?

18 days, 18 days, 18 days

What does everyone think of 11:00 am on Monday (1st sea day) in the Promenade Lounge?

Thay may work for me. I can't guarantee I'll have the kids with me. I have a spa appt at 9 and my inlaws will be in charge of getting the kids fed breakfast and who knows when that will be. I am sure they will be dropped off at the lab right after breakfast. I should be back and showered before 11??

Speaking of rebooking, anyone know what cruise they will book next? We won't be booking another cruise while on this one as we already have 4 more cruises booked. I'm not sure addiction is even the right word! Two weeks after we get off this cruise, my friend and I will be going on the Hawaii cruise without the kids. Then the kids and I will be going on the Dream in Aug, then back on the Wonder for the PC cruise in Dec and Alaska in Aug of 2013. It would be fun to cruise with 'regulars.' Who wants to join me???

We are looking at booking DS graduation cruise for 2014 Western, or Hawaii?
and maybe Alaska next year just for the adults

Ok, going pirate shoping this weekend, Do they still give out the bandana for pirate night? I guess one can never have to many bandanas.

The meet would be fun

Almost here

Well, I would love to take credit for them but the main design is done by the people on the designer's thread (they post their generic ones for people to use and I just add the text to them). But I do really enjoy searching for different ones to personalize.

Woo Hoo - less than two weeks to go!!

Hi everyone,
This is our first cruise EVER so I am way behind the times in all of this. I just learned about fish extender exchanges and would love to join in, but fear it might be too late? I saw that jetskigirl (sp?) had started one, but I am not able to send her a PM since I am new to the board (I guess you have to have 10 posts first). Thanks in advance for any info on this. See you all in 11 days!!!

Welcome to the group! It's going to be a great trip....hope you're finding lots of useful information here! I know nothing about the FE but you can always post random thoughts on threads in order to get up to 10 posts - it's amazing how quickly it adds up!

So, here we are....10 days out! Who's excited????

 

[DCW]

We are excited. Our trip starts on April 4th, Fly to Lax from Sea, then
Time with sister inlaw up in Ojai.

5th: Magic mountian,
6th: Cal State Fullerton Campus Tour for DS, and baseball game,
Down town Disney?
7th: Knotts Berry farm
8th:?? , oh yeah Board the Wonder

Are we going to have a meet? that would be neat. I like the Monday early afternoon idea, let's set a place and time. Let's set it up soon as We will be off the boards as of the 3rd.
We are going off the grid for our trip

I think we are just going to go with 11:00 am on Monday (1st sea day) in the Promenade Lounge. We haven't had too many responses so I hope that is OK with everyone.

Wow, hard to believe that it is almost here. The kids want to go down to see the Wonder off this Sunday. It will be fun knowing that the next time she is back in port, we will be getting on

Hi Everyone - we just booked and realized all this other fun on board as well. I hope it's not too late to be part of the meet up and FE. Can't wait till the 8th. Both my kids (8 and 11) are so excited to be on board. If someone could let us know if we can join in that would be great.

Welcome (again) to the group!!!

For all those in the FE, I just sent out the updated list via email. Please let me know if you did not receive it.

OK, so who else is starting to pack? Luckily I started to gather the formal and pirate wear today so that I could discover that DS's shoes don't fit. So DH and DS are off on a hunt to find dress shoes that do fit.

I hope that everyone will be able to join us for the dis-meet on Monday at 11:00 in the Promenade Lounge. I will also have my lime green Mickey Head tag attached to whatever bag I am carrying at the port and for the meet. So if you see it, please say Hi, LOL.
