August 26, 2010 3 night Wonder cruise

[JohnsonsFour]

I may also have two of my older daughters joining us on this cruise. Not sure yet. If so, one is 24 and the other 18. I know for sure my 13 year old is coming with me.

Please keep us posted. We would love to include them on the FE exchange

We won't be booking the 29th. I just booked my airfare and that was expensive! I am not staying in Disney at all this year. We have a busy summer and can't fit it in. booo

The weather has been wacky here in New York lately, one day 90 and the next 40.

That's a shame about the cruise on the 29th! Guess we will just have to double the fun on this one!

We are staying over night at the Airport hotel. We got a really late flight out and won't be getting to Orlando until Midnight. Other wise I would have had to take a late a.m. flight out on day of embarkation. That would have been bad if there were any flight delays.

Hope everything works out for you! I am scared about flights which come in late - we need to travel via Frankfurt and there are ALWAYS delays!

I may also have two of my older daughters joining us on this cruise. Not sure yet. If so, one is 24 and the other 18. I know for sure my 13 year old is coming with me.

I really hope you can talk them into it - the more the merrier!

Please keep us posted. We would love to include them on the FE exchange

I definitely second that!

I have never done a FE and I am thinking maybe I will try it out this summer on Disney. Not sure yet.

I should know for sure within a month if they decide to come.

So far it is definitely me and my dd 13.

I was just looking at some of your photos from all your vacations. How wonderful that you know how to arrange them on the computer like that! I have trouble just posting on this website. lol

It is 9:20 a.m. here in New York and I am now hungry for Bubba Gumps and Krispy Kreme, after looking at your photos.

Just beautiful, thank you for sharing your wonderful times with us.

We'll be joining you for our first-ever cruise (we being me, DH, and DS (5) and DD (2)), and would be interested in participating in the FE

Welcome!!!

We are also joining for our first cruise, we were looking at April 2011 on the Dream but have changed our plans. We have added this to our existing trip as looking at Castaway etc. can't wait.

It will be my wife and I plus DD5 and DS2. From what I understand with the fish extender my DD and DW would love this so need to go and find out how it all works! We have to wait for the room number and on wait list for 1st dinner seating as 8pm is too late for our two so would need to think about what we will do with this.

Anyway pleased to join you all!

I am sorry it took me so long to reply. That real life thing sometimes gets in the way!
I love writing trip reports and I love doing them on my homepage. It's easy once you get a grip on it.

Any news on your daughters? It will be so much fun knowing there are some more DISers on the cruise!

I just updated the first post with some FE info!

WELCOME

I am glad you join us on this Wonder cruise! You are going to love your Disney cruise experience!
Once we get closer to the cruise I will be posting a FE list (updating the first post )! It's definitely fun!

It's so nice to know that there will be quite a few other DISers on that cruise! Castaway Cay is AMAZING! There are a lot of photos on my homepage - it's the summer 09 trip!
As for the FE ..... I have updated the first post and posted some links so you can get familiar with it. It was so much fun last year.
Every time we came back to the stateroom we would find another little present in our extender. We ended up with A LOT!
Have a look!

No problem about getting back to my post. I sometimes check my computer a couple of times a day and feel like days go by, when it has actually only been a day. lol I am not a fan of real life!

You do a great job on your trip reports. I love them!

I am only going to have one of my daughters on this cruise. I have my oldest and youngest coming on the August 13th cruise with me instead. My oldest thought the 8/13 would work better since she only has to take off of work a couple of days.

Anyone pay in full and make any reservations yet?

We have paid in full (long time ago, but I have several parts of the 30 day trip to pay off, so I started way back when ).
We are Silver Castaway Club Members and our booking window for Palo and excursions opens on May 28.
Are you thinking about an excursion in Nassau? Or are you thinking about Castaway Cay?

We are also Silver (I think?) and we have not yet paid our cruises in full. I do believe our window for our first couple of cruises has already come up? I am not sure how it all works, I am kind of new to this new club stuff.

We are possibly looking at Jet skiing on Castaway. I don't believe I can make reservations online for Palo. Last year it didn't let book one seat, I had to wait until I was actually on the ship.

Our first cruise starts August 3. We did the Magic last year for the entire month of August and really enjoyed it. We are hoping this year we have just as much fun on the Wonder.

I just went on Disney's site. I am not Silver, but Platinum. I guess I can book excursions as soon as I decide to pay in full. That may still be a while.

I really should start to get the ball rolling with paying off some of my cruises. You were smart to start paying it off already!

I have one other cruise booked before Disney, and I have been concentrating so much on that one.

I like that Disney site. I just saw all the perks that each tier gets. Very nice!

We are very excited to see other families have decided to join us for the FE exchange. This is our first Disney cruise and we're looking forward to participating with you all!

We paid in full when we made our land/sea reservations. However, since this is our first Disney cruise, we can't make our other reservations until June. We are eyeing a couple of excursions. We have some time to decide.

We have a couple of trips in the works before August so I'm working on each one as they come up. We just returned from a trip yesterday and I'm digging through another mountain of laundry. ACK -where's the laundry fairy when you need her?

Greetings! We've just made our reservation for this cruise and we would love to participate in the FEs. We have two adults in our room. We also hope to travel with my inlaws, MIL, FIL & SIL, so there may be three additional adults on the FE exchange. I think they would enjoy doing the exchange too. Are you also planning on a meet-and-greet on the first day? We don't have room numbers yet, but could let you know when we do. For us there would be 5 adults.

Looking forward to cruisin' with y'all in August! I'll have a birthday on this cruise...uh...I mean the ???th anniversary of my 29th birthday!

Welcome Tracey!

It's wonderful to have some more people going on this cruise! I will put you on the FE list (all 5 of you) and you can let me know if something changes.
I think we will need a DIS meet at the beginning of the cruise! I NEED the photos for my trip report!
No, seriously I love meeting fellow DISers and sharing our love for Disney!
Let me know once you know your stateroom numbers and I will prepare a list (and map) for the FE exchange. It IS FUN!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and how wonderful that you will be celebrating your birthday! There's no better way than to celebrate somewhere Disney!
