August 9, 2011 (8/9/2011) Taking the Wonder to see the AMERICAN CHILD

[jilljill]

Kids don't want to go.. way to cold they claim..silly kids..

so DH and I are going on the 8/30 cruise.. after we drop both of them both at college and will be penniless.. why not .. add one more thing that is for us.. so have fun.. and keep the boat in tip top shape for us a few weeks later..

Sorry you can't make this cruise. We'll keep her ship shape for you when you board a couple of weeks later.

WE'RE BOOKED!!!


Love all of these and all the pictures are awesome!!! I'd agree to anyone of these (although I'm not sure about the American Child)!!!

BTW - Just booked three rooms on this cruise and we are very excited. I seem to have gotten into the habit of booking my DCL cruises when they come out giving me a 2-year window!! Booked a double dip in 2006 for 2008, booked at TA in 2008 for 2010 and now booked Alaska in 2009 for 2011.

Here's some info on our group:

Cabin 1 - MagicMe (Melodie)
Traveling solo in a cabin for now but hope to add my Mom at a later date.
This cruise will make #5 so once completed - I'm gold!!!!!

Cabin 2 - TheDisneyGirl02 (Amy)
DBK1029 (Dave)
This cruise will make #3 for them. Dave is my DS and Amy will be my DIL in less than 3 weeks!

Cabin 3 - Janet
Walter
Beth
Janet and Walter are Amy's parents and Beth is her twin sister. They are newbies to DCL (although they did cruise the Big Red Boat once).

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

I'm in cabin 3. I'm TheDisneyGirl02's sister. I'm new to posting on the Disboards, but I have been reading for years!!! I'm really excited to sail with Disney. I'm a huge Disney fan! If anyone's counting, it's 680 days until we embark![/QUOTE]

As I previously said, once we get some more cruisers onboard this thread we'll do a poll to come up with a slogan for the cruise.

Something we did on my last two cruises, a Weekly countdown to the cruise. Its a long way to go right now, but as the time gets under a year the weeks start flying by.


Weekly countdown
97 weeks until the August 9 th, 2011 Alaska Cruise

Could be, I did it on my last cruise, that started at 86 weeks, 97 is long way to go, but at least its under triple digets

I'm glad somebody is doing a countdown! I can never remember, but I love to read it!

 

[dbk1029]

I am very excited for this cruise. It will be my 3rd cruise overall and my 2nd cruise with my DW thedisneygirl02! I am super excited that her mom, dad, and sister are coming! It's going to be awesome!!

 

[Macavity]

Okay, Starwood is soon to post version 2 of her picture...


Okay, Starwood, now that I'm mentioned it...


Where is it?


Welcome to all the "mewbie's"... Glad to see wedding plans will take some of the countdown away.....

 

[disney06]

We are booked too!!

Our info:

Cabin 1 - Me
Ken (DH)
Cassidy - DD (will be 9)
Caitlyn - DD (will be 11)
Cabin 2 - Grandma

I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone. Great to see lots of girls aged 9 & 11, my girls can be shy and I don't think they can be together in the kids club so it will be nice to get to know others.....

Oh my gosh.... I just realized that my DD (Princess) and her DF (Darth Vader) will no longer be the "teenie boopers" on the ship during this cruise, but will be the "college crowd". No wonder when I asked my DD if she was going to start a teen board she looked at me and said, umm... NO!

Man.... when they first met, she was barely old enough to go the the teen club....

Okay... maybe this countdown should last, ummm... 15 more years, that way I can have more time at home with her

 

[bzzelady]

Hello all! We have officially paid our deposit and are ready to start planning

The cast:

Bzzelady-Chris (the great vacation planner...my DH calls me Mrs. Disney!)

DH-Brian (willing to go along for the ride but already fretting because this trip means that he will have to give up Mustang Week in Myrtle Beach for 2011)

DD-AJ (will turn 12 on the last night of the cruise-when told of the cruise plan, her official comment was, "I don't think so...I'm a tropical girl!")


DM-Jane (wanted to see Alaska but her idea of roughing it is a hotel without room service...thank heavens for DCL)
DD-Dave (Alaska outdoors veteran but never been on a cruise ship)


The accomodations:

DM and DD will be in secret verandah room #6134

Bzzelady, DH, and DD will be across the hall in #6135



I'm already planning out our pre cruise adventure. We will be flying into Seattle on either Friday or Saturday pre cruise, taking a day to explore Seattle, and then driving into Canada. Planning to drive to Whistler that day on the Sea to Sky highway and stay in Vancouver for the next 2 nights pre cruise. I'm working on pulling lots of information and I will add what I have found to contribute to the first page of this thread.

I love everyone's artwork for the cruise logo and already downloaded the song onto my MP3 player!
