August 3, 2015 ~ 7-Night Alaskan Cruise on Disney Wonder

[touchstone74]

I really want to participate, this is My 5 year old daughters MakeAWish trip so I actually still don't know our cabin number, we will have itinerary tomorrow afternoon. There are only 3 in our party, my father who is almost 70, myself 43 and my 5 year old daughter This is my daughters 1st cruise and I know it's going to be unbelievable! Even if We don't get to participate and can maybe just meet up with other families, that would be amazing!

No problem! Just let me know first names and favorite character and I will put you on the list. Then when you know the cabin number let me know and I will put it in there! Welcome and looking forward to meeting you! There is a meet scheduled for 3pm on Embarkation day in the Promenade Lounge (between Tritons and Parrot Cay on Deck 3) for anyone that would like to get together!

Well we are both girls, both very social, we love making new friends so this trip is a much needed break from the chaos of our current life!!

Hi Laura! We're in the Pixie Dust group as well and we've been busy bees making lots of little gifts. What I have not and probably will not have is time to make one of the really cool fish extender bags that they hang outside the doors. Mine might very well be a tote or something along those lines... don't judge I think the giving is more fun than the receiving anyway. Happy to see that you will be joining us and escaping to some fun. Looking forward to meeting you and your family.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the "portal" on the cabin doors? Just trying to make some decorations for my kids to put up. Thanks!

I have seen that the port numbers are 7.5 inches wide

Long shot here, but does anyone have a child that loves playing with Army men figures?

Our almost 5 year old son is hooked on them and will definitely be bringing his Army men on the ship. If anyone else shares the same interest, he'd love to meet up for playtime and it would definitely make drop off at the kids club easier!

My 6 yr old boy loves playing with Army men. He's an AF brat, so essentially he loves all things military! His 10 yr old brother plays with them too. I'd be happy to introduce them and ensure they had a friend at the kids club. We intend to do the meet up at 3pm for the FE group. Would you like to introduce them there and maybe let them play for a little bit?

The meet up is for anyone that would like to meet, not just the FE group!

Sounds great Kristin, we'll see you at the 3pm meet up with Army men in hand. My son (Spencer) will be thrilled to have a play mate and would be amazed to meet a real Air Force soldier!

Love to meet you too Laura! I think some of us from the FB page are planning to meet the first day, 3 PM in the Promenade Lounge (between Tritons and Parrot Cay on Deck 3). Come join us! Just add your name to the Pixie Dust Group. Include the names of the people in your room, gender, and favorite character. When you get your room, it can be added.

I hope this doesn't sound rude and against FE etiquette, but I was wondering if anyone was including the Pixie Dust Group in their gifting? We are in that group and I just want to make sure that we can return the Pixie Dust! I personalized several items and would like to include personalization for anyone that might choose to exchange with us. My boys are so looking forward to this. Thanks.

Hi, Kristin! I have included something for everyone listed in all three groups. It is a little different for each group, but there is something!

I have something for each cabin too, but a few extra "goodies" to spread the pixie dust! Would you mind sharing your cabin number with me?

 

[bobsmith]

Aloha!
We have goodies for each cabin, but instead of getting personalized gifts like the cabins in our group, the non-Donald cabins are getting group gifts. Hope that's okay! I'm worried about the pixie dusters, so I'm going to try to add something extra for the kids in that group.

Counting down the days! Tonight I hope to finish wrapping all the gifts

Sounds wonderful!!! FE is for fun, so no stressing!! Whatever you do will be wonderful and add to the magic!

Oh no! I just realized I gave the wrong cabin number. It's my parent's cabin instead of ours. I'll leave a note on their door just in case. Here's our correct room number: 5022 (not 5142) with Carter, Liane, etc. Sorry for the mix up!

I fixed it in the list, but a note on the door is a good idea for the people that may have already started traveling! I am planning on having a dry erase board on my door also (since I have the main list) for last minute changes or notes

Hi Nova Dog,

You mentioned that your wife will be celebrating her birthday, but you didn't mention her name. I make greeting cards and would like to give her one. Could I get her name please?

Thanks so much!

In for fish extender! This will be our 3rd cruise and the FE was definitely one of the highlights in the past. We did 5 night NYC to Canada on the Magic and 4 night Bahamas on the Dream. We'll miss the Aqua Duck but do enjoy the smaller ship size overall.

One question, as our 90 day advance sign up window is coming soon (May 5). How many port excursions are you able to pre-book per port? Is there a one pre booked excursion per port limit (sort of like there is the one Palo pre-book limit) or does it depend upon the timing of the specific excursions?

Anyhow, here is our info - our family plus my wife's parents. We'll be spread across 3 rooms but we'll just do FE for the kids.

Cabin #5624
Cate - age 7 girl
Elle - age 6 girl
Spencer - age 4 boy
No allergies
No favorite characters in particular
Wife's 40th birthday
Cruise #3, first time to Alaska for most of us, and our kids love dogs! Yes, we'll definitely be doing one of the dog sledding excursions!

vadog,

Thank-you so much for thinking of my boys in the Pixie Dust group, but no worries as we know we joined the group very late. The boys understand and are making their plans to help deliver our little presents. My oldest said he just hopes to make new friends! As military kids they are used to making new friends fast. They are SO excited!

vadog,

Thanks, that's very nice of you! My wife and daughter actually have the same birthday (August 28) that we'll be celebrating. They are Virginia (mom) and Catherine (daughter). Mom will be 40 and Catherine 8.
