August 27th 2009 cruise on the wonder

[frostrhonda]

no formal night

Is there a semi-formal night?? This will be kind of cool not to have to pack a ton of clothes to wear! I always respect the no jeans or shorts in the dining rooms, the formal clothes take up the room! We are staying at Disneys Old Key West for 4 days before the cruise leaves. We got a one bedroom vacation club home the has a washer and dryer in it to cut down on the amount of things we need to pack...you know the darn luggage rules at the airport! I am planning to bring Jello Shots and lots of alcohol for those who party out there!!

We are coming too! It will be my husband and I and we are celebrating our 6th year anniversary!

Did anyone receive their information from disney yet?

What are you doing on Nassau? I have no ideas....

Hi Peggy! We have not recieved our info yet either. In Nassau, we are going snorkeling. We have been to Nassau a few times and never went. We went to do the sting ray thing last time, and I would NOT recommend it to anyone. The stingrays are small and in captivity in a small area. Of course, we have been to Stingray City in Grand Cayman and the stingrays are free in the water and you feed them..that is the way to interact with stingray. I don't like to encourage the capture of anything! Atlantis, at Paradise Island is nice, but very expensive just to go and spend the day at the water park!! I would look into renting a room there if that is what you want to do, it would be cheaper.

nope, no semi-formal on the wonder either, there is a dress up night, which is optional. Last time I just wore Capris and a shirt for all the dinners since the Wonder no real formal or semi-formal night, on the dress up night which in the last dinner you can dress up if you want, but I didn't see many people dressed up. So I would say nice pants or whatever and you would be good to go, not to fancy if you don't want to be. I know I'll just be bringging nice pants/capris and shirts and not too fancy, and I'll party with you, you might not think I am 21, but I really am.

dbf and i are going to do the sea lion encounter at nassau, we also have planned for castaway cay the seahorse snorkeling and the parasailing.. my question is, is that too much for castaway cay? i mean other than walking around and maby laying on the beach are we going to be missing anything if we are spending like 3 hrs snorkeling and parasailing. snorkeling is like from 9-12ish and parasailing is a 2 i believe ?? what do you all think - those who have been before...

well I know I wouldn't do both parasailing and snorkeling at Castaway Cay. I've been to Castaway Cay 7 times and it is so short of time there, that i just want to relax on the beach, take my time eating lunch, play some mini golf and all that stuff. But you aren't going to miss anything really, maybe the dance party thing with characters at the gazebo, but other then that I'd say you'd be fine

there is minigolf at castaway cay? I'm gonna have to check this out.

We are in DVC and I don't know anything about meet and greets, is that something they normally do?

We have actually booked on points, so Disney should know we are DVC so maybe they will mention something when we board.

Yippee! Got our docs today. We are also DVC owners- how do they know you are so you get invited to the party? Also, how can I look up and add my nephew's Castaway Club Id #? Mine is in there but I guess his should be too, right?

 

[lilinando]

[BevS97]

I got my documents yesterday, great excitement in this house!
There are quite a lot of forms in the booklet that we have already completed using the online checkin, am I right in assuming I don't need to do them twice?

 

[VeroBeach]

I just got my docs yesterday too!

My family of 4 (myself, my wife, DS 18, DS 6) is on this cruise, we have a pre-cruise stay at Pop Century starting on 8/21, switching to AKL on 8/25 and then the cruise on 8/27 - I'm easy to recognize - I use metal crutches to walk around - here's hoping I don't slip!

We're from New Jersey, not far from Philadelphia.

Feel free to say hello if you see us.
