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

[taramoz]

We're looking at the ABD add-on for the cruise. I was pricing out excursions on other cruiseline's websites and the ABD add-on isn't that out of line in price. Just trying to think things over and hoping DCL puts on their excursions in the next few days.

Where can I find out more about the add on?

There's a thread about it on the main boards but here's the direct link to the ABD website: http://abd.disney.go.com/abd/en_US/destination?name=AlaskaCruiseLandingPage#

My TA told me the price for this sailing is $2299/person age 13 and up.

but at least you will have company on the flight to Houston!!!!!!

We just booked our flight (thank you frequent flyer miles)...

Flying out on Sunday, returning on Wednesday. I really could not get any good times for Tuesday. All the good flights were around 11am, and I'm just not sure that is enough time to get off the boat, get to airport and get on a plane...

So, I checked out the ABD for our cruise, there is A LOT of great shore excursions! Here is the link if you want to check it out....


http://abd.disney.go.com/abd/en_US/destination?name=AlaskaCruiseLandingPage


The total to add this one is $2299 per adult if you want to add it on...

Decided that if I was going to add another $4600 for this cruise, it would be for a cat 1 stateroom, and that is not happening either....

sigh....

My sister is so excited for this cruise! She keeps asking when the shore excursions are going to be released...she just can't wait to see what they are offering!

I have so much to do with the upcoming holiday, but for almost the last week I have been pretty much out of commision because my sciatic nerve decided to act up. Today was the first day in 4 days that I was able to go anywhere - the other days I was sitting on a heating pad practically all day. I just hope it feels better because I'm scheduled to work on Christmas Eve (I don't mind helping to bring any last minute magic to the guests at the Disney Store) and I'm looking forward to it.

Wouldn't that be $2300 because you would be splitting the cost with another family

Ouch! I get that from time to time also. It makes it so hard to stand up. You might want to try ice instead of heat. The last time I had it I tried ice and I think it helped more than the heat (but the heat feels so good).
