Aug 10th, 2008 4-days on the Wonder

[krzy4disney02]

Don't think we're gonna dress up for pirate night... I've had to work so much to get this time off that I just never got around to putting anything together. Seems like yesterday I still had 6 months to plan, now only a few days!

Hi All ...my first time on a meet thread

My 1st time posting too although I've been following this board for awhile. I finally got up the nerve!

DH, DS and I are going as well as DSis, DBIL, and DNephew. This will be 3rd Disney Cruise for DH & me; 2nd for DS; and 1st for DSis & her family. DH & I talked DSis into trying the 4 day cruise because of the dd at CC and thought 4 days was a good amount of time for a 1st cruise.

DH & I have been on 3 day and DS joined us for a 7 day on the Magic 2 summers ago. I can honestly say that WE LOVE DISNEY CRUISES!!!!! I am quite sure that every 1st timer will have a "Wonder"ful time. (Sorry, I couldn't resist...)

Hope to see you onboard!

Vegas Escapee, are you planning on attending a singles meet 'n greet, if there is one? According to the Personal Navigator for the same cruise at the end of June, it was at 10p at Diversions on the first night.

If you're there, maybe we can meet up?

Sounds GREAT! Looking forward to meeting you!

Anyone have any suggestions on securing inexpensive one- or two-day passes to EPCOT for a post-cruise visit?

We'll be staying out by the airport after the cruise and will probably need to rent a car to get to the parks since it's cheaper than taking a car service. Unless anyone has any better ideas?

Also, has anyone been to Aquatica the Busch waterpark? Being from STL we'd like to enjoy this Busch property while it still remains a "Busch" property. As you know we just lost Anheuser-Busch to Belgium and they said they'd be selling off the parks.

Thanks. Counting the hours!

Well folks, the DD and I are escaping Sin City in the morning enroute to the land of enchantment! Hope everyone has a stress free and safe trip. See you all on the Wonder! Let's get this party started!!! Watch out Mickey! Here we come!!!

Hi JungleJim!

They did! We picked a water view but not sure if we should try and request any particular area, any recommendations?

I've never been to CBR, so I can't recommend anything. I didn't request anything, since we're only there for 2 nights. I don't really care, as long as we have a clean place to stay. If I was staying longer and was not spending the entire days in the parks, then maybe I'd care what view I had. I think we were just lucky to even get a room on such short notice.

I'm sure your stay there will be great.
Maybe we'll run into you there.

Enjoy, relax, and have fun!!!

We've made it part way to the cruise. We flew down to Florida yesterday. My family is currently staying with my parents in Venice. We'll play some golf and go to the beach here. I'm driving one of my parents' cars over to the port on Saturday (I don't have to pay for a rental car!!) and spending the night there.

Then on Sunday we'll see the ship for the first time!

In 48 hours we should be in the air! Our flight out of St. Louis leaves at 6:45 am CST on Saturday morning! By tomorrow at this time, I will have completed my online checkin for SW and have my boarding passes in hand!!

Can't wait to get to Florida!!! It will put us one step closer to the Wonder!

It really will be a dream come true!!

Hope everyone enjoyed the cruise. We had a great time!

Our family had a wonderful time and can't stop talking about it. In fact, I still have sea legs and still feel things swaying.

These message boards were an exceptional resource and made our trip that much smoother.

Hope everyone else had a fantastic experience.

We also had a fantastic time and everything couldn't have gone more smoothly!! My youngest daughter keeps talking about feeling like she is on the ship, but I have been okay.

My dh and kids have talked non stop about the trip since we've returned home. Hope all of you had a Magical time!!

We had the first seating and sat at Table 18 in case any of you were in the vicinity!
