August 13, 2009 - 10 Years of Wonderful Cruising

[mketting]

Super late joiner.

I will be cruiseing with 4 fellow Moms. We are coming from NY, PA and FL. and will all meet on Wed. night and stay in Cocoa Beach. This will be my 4th Disney cruise. My Sister and I crusied with our families in Feb and are doing the $99 Bounceback with friends. We're on decks 2 and 6.

Is there anything special planned on the Wonder for this cruise since it is the 10th Anniversary.

Welcome aboard! If you find me in the cruise terminal and/or at the dismeet at 2:00pm overlooking the Goofy pool I can give you some blank name badges with lanyards. Sorry, to late for names on the name badges.

The only thing they did for the Magic's 10th Anniversary was mention it at the show and they had a cake at dinner - that's it.

Add a nice time at Hollywood Studios today - going to Magic Kingdom tonight - dinner at Tonys.

Had a nice evening with Georgie, Joe and their friend David and nephew Brandon. Swimming at the pool followed by Dole Whip and fireworks at the Poly! Beautiful evening!
Time is closing fast! At least the laundry is done and some things set aside to pack..... Have to wait for Joe to find the suitcase, I don't brave the garage alone....
Decided not to bring the steerage bar this time.... gonna have to rely on Drinks of the Day and Konk Koolers! Well....Maybe just some fire water to spice up the Bubba.

I know it's a bit late, but just got around to reading the meet forum.

DH and I will be cruising this week on the 3 day using the $99 bounceback offer. This is our second DCL cruise but first without DD so we're hoping we don't feel guilty the enture cruise. We will be celebrating our 13th anniversary and are really looking forward to seeing the front half of the ship

To Lynn G - Nice to see someone from WY on the cruise! DH and I were married at the foot fo Elk Mountain, WY.

Welcome aboard! Like I said to mketting, find me in the terminal or at the 2:00pm dismeet on deck 10 overlooking the Goofy Pool for a lanyard and name badge (but without the name).

Don't feel guilty - we've been on 10 or 11 DCL cruises and less then half have been with DD. Parents deserve a break once in awhile.

Good Morning Everyone! Another day closer to the cruise!

Had a nice day at the parks yesterday. Hollywood Studios in the morning and Magic Kingdom in the evening. Actually stayed for fireworks. Haven't done that for a long time.

Don't know what the plan is for today. Boma for dinner - that's all I know.

Have a great day!

Thanks Ken! Unfortunately (or fortunately for us), we have a couples massage scheduled during this time Thursday to kick off our anniversary cruise so won't be able to meet everyone.

I'm curious what the crowds are like at the parks this time of year. We decided against adding a day or two at the parks thinking it would still be crowded.

I'm glad you have your food plans all scheduled. Wouldn't want you to starve before the cruise!

I want a review of your Whispering Cove or is it Canyon from the other night.......

Animal Kingdom was very crowded today. Magic Kingdom was packed yesterday.

Whispering Canyon was great. Noisy, but good food and a fun server.

Sounds like we made the right choice. ;-)

We tell the "children" tonight. Just found out yesterday that DD is to check into college dorm 8/16. Must call today and arrange for her to arrive 8/17.
I'm planning a Disney theme dinner tonight and my girls think we are planning a theme dinner every night for the next few days. Just for fun while they are home.
Hope these new storms brewing stay away!

According to the latest track, we should be ok. Next week's cruises however...?

Well...I left my kids speechless and then excited. They thought the "tickets" in the sand pail on the table as a center piece were old tickets. Even after reading them they were at first confused. It was great.

Wish I had parents like you when I was growing up!
