August 26, 2013 - Mickey Mouse, Midnight Sun & Whales!

Hello all!! DD and I have finished our Adventures by Disney Germany trip and are leaving Munich for Dublin to start our Ireland trip!! My thoughts are turning to this cruise.

Wow! Sounds like a great summer! My husband is Irish and I lived in Dublin for about twelve years or so before we relocated to Seattle, so I'd love to hear about the ABD trip to Ireland (my husband would be more interested in your German adventure). Looking forward to saying 'hello' onboard the Wonder in a few short weeks . . . .
 
We are taking our first Disney Cruise to Alaska (because that is a spot my husband would like to see) and have heard about the gift exchange program. I have two girls, 8 and 11, that would love to give and receive. Is it too late to get involved?
 

Welcome to the group!! Glad you are able to join us. :cool1::cool1::cheer2:

As far as i know, i don't think it is too late to join the fe (fish extender) gift exchange. And yes, your girls will love it!

i'm not sure if there is a list on this thread. I have not read thru all the posts here in quite some time. there is one on the cruise facebook group. Check it out!

if you have other questions, please feel free to ask. It is getting closer!! woot! woot!
 
I just signed up for the FE exchange on the spreadsheet last week. I'm hoping it's not too late. My girls will love it! It looks like some people do some pretty detailed gift work and I don't want to mess things up for everyone. Is there a way I will be confirmed to know if we are able to play along?
 
Is somebody in charge of closing the FE list, or will it be kept open until our sail date? I imagine it'll be closed pretty soon so that FE participants have a firm headcount (?). We signed up a bit late (last week). DW was really excited and already started making FE gifts...hopefully we weren't too late. Will somebody be confirming the final list of participants? I think that would be really helpful...
 
Hi everyone!!

It is my full intention to join you on this cruise, along with some extended family members! We won't know for sure until next year, as we're planning on booking while on the Fantasy in April. But I'm hoping there will be plenty of rooms still available ;)

We just sailed to Alaska the last week of August a couple weeks ago! It was so awesome we're going back and taking family with us. Can't wait to do it again!

I'm happy to volunteer to head up an FE group, a roll call list and a facebook group if you guys want!

Hi FourDiznyFans,

Welcome to the group!

See the above post from ......Keurigirl....
Hopefully she is still heading up the FE group. Also, the original poster who started this thread is no longer with us (switched dates).
If you have any questions, ask away! We are getting so close to our sail date now!
 
Thanks son3disfan!

So if Keurigirl happens to drop out of this group, will there be someone else rounding up the group?
 
Only about 6 more weeks until the cruise!! :goodvibes
Hope everyone else is just as excited.

Since it is 6 weeks out will we be closing the FE Exchange soon? Any opinions?
 
Woot! Woot! Woot! We got our Mickey Mail today also!

So excited - going to read it before heading off to bed.

Six weeks from today.

Looks like the FE list will be closed 5-6 weeks out from the sail date (so, this week or next?). I just joined the Facebook group for this sailing and read that in one of the organizer's posts. Seems like there's more activity on the FB group page than there is on here. I would suggest joining the FB page for the most up to date info.
 
So....

Did we lose everyone to Facebook?

I have to say, this is the quietest meet I've been a part of! I think the chats are happening over there...

Well, if anyone is left, I feel the need to share that I have indeed pulled out the luggage.:eek:
Not packing, just trying to figure out how to make it work!
Just bought these cool boots from NIKE... A waterproof hiking boot. But I really think I will need a suitcase AND carry-on this time to make it all fit!

Is everyone bringing winter coats/ boats? Or sweaters/ sweatshirts....
What's your plan......
 
i don't think we are bringing any heavy winter items. i have a nice lightweight rain type coat that i can layer under if i need to. it went with me on our last cruise. i also have a few lightweight jackets to bring. long sleeve t-shirts and long pants.

It is kind of quiet around here. Not much activity on Facebook either. maybe it will pick up some.

is there any interest in a meet and greet once on board the Wonder? i don't remember anyone mentioning it. it is kind of nice to put a face with a name.

i did order a couple of Alaska cruise books from Amazon. i was looking for a map of the inside passage. last trip i was wishing i had a map so that i could see where we were. one of the books has one that i think will be perfect.

BTW: I have had suitcases and stuff out for weeks. LOL i have an extra bedroom and that is where everything is piled!

Yes to a meet! :thumbsup2
Promenade lounge @ 3? That always seems to work! What does everyone think? If no one responds then I will still meet up with you! Lol! I am trying to remember if we actually met last time on the Tortola cruise!

I too have maps and tour books of the inside passage. I have glanced a bit at them, but was going to save them so I will have somethng interesting to read for my 5 hr. flight!
 
Just found this forum. Getting excited for our first ever cruise!

Welcome! :)
This is a great cruise meet ( although a bit quiet) with some great people!
First cruise! How exciting!
This is a good place to ask any questions you might have about sailing Disney, or cruising in general, or even any questions about this sailing ( ports/excursions).
Some of us have been on a few Disney cruises. :woohoo:
All I can say is be very careful.....Disney cruises can be very addictive!
Our first cruise was suppose to be our " big splurge" for my husbands 40th birthday. A one time thing. Well, 6 years later, we have managed to cruise every year!
I keep saying, this is it for a while, but we keep making our way to the future cruise desk and well, We just can't say no! So be warned! Lol!

Meeting up sounds great!! This is our first cruise so we're taking our lead from others with more experience - hope we can manage to find the Promenade lounge by 3pm (or by day 3, for that matter . . . ) :joker:
