Dec 11 Wonder-Anyone yet?

[mom_rules]

Calling all past and present cruisers-What's the weather like in
December?

 

[PattiPB]

We did this cruise (12/12) last year, and will be returning in 2005!

As for weather, we were on the beach in Nassau and at CC, and we all went in the water! That means it was warm, because we are from Vegas, and I won't go in if it is cold. My kids, OTOH, would break through a layer of ice to go swimming it they had to.

HOWEVER, the last night of the cruise, and the entire following week, were cold and wet, so it is totally a crapshoot!

This year, we are travelling with my sister and her DH. Our DD will be 11, and our boys will be 9 & 7. They don't know about the cruise yet, because we are cruising this summer, and don't want to spoil it.

Wonder if anybody else is on this ship?? We have connecting cat 9's. We LOVED deck 2 last year, but had cat 10's.

 

[mom_rules]

Thanks for the info! We'll be there right along with you.
Anyone else?

 

[MN Dis Fans]

My DW and I will be there, w/o the (2x DS's) Yahoo! We went last year in October, w/ the DS's + Grandpa & Grandma.

Had a great time, looking to have another one!

 

[mom_rules]

MN Dis Fan-too funny! We did our first DCL cruise in March-Just DH and I and this time we're taking the kids. Seems to be directly your reverse LOL!

 

[MN Dis Fans]

Early days yet, but it almost looks like we'll get the boat to ourselves?

 

[PattiPB]

Same thing last year! Right up until we left for FL, there was availability on our ship in all cats. When we checked in, I asked, and there were only a handful (9 I believe) of available cabins left!

We had about a dozen DISers who posted on our thread last year. Maybe they're just not the compulsive planners we are this year! LOL!!!

I am going to be on the December 11th Disney Wonder. This is my first cruise.

Welcome! You will find a ton of information here! If you have any questions please ask away.

This is going to be our first curise, and it will be our honeymoon.

Anyone ever gotten the romance package?

Thanks!

Robert

We did REAS in March-our first cruise and our first vacation in 20 years with no kids!
Our main reason was to get the advanced ressies for spa and Palo but now that you can book them online I don't think the swan and rose pedals are worth the extra $. The gift basket was nice but again, I think you could bring your own champagne and it would be just as nice without paying for the package.

We are taking our kids on this cruise - they have their own stateroom. I won't be paying the extra for REAS this time but plan to bring my own "surprises" and book my own spa and dinner online.

Just bumping us to the top of page 1!

How are your plans going, cruise-buddies??? We will be doing MVMCP the night we disembark---so we won't be too depressed getting off the ship! Anybody else headed to the parks afterwards?

 

[mom_rules]

We are! We are also contemplating MVMCP on the 15th but haven't made any final decisions yet.
Just secured our Annual Pass rate for our hotel stays-yipee!

Where are you staying?

PS Thanks for bumping

 

[MN Dis Fans]

Hey, We're doing the MVMCP (1st time) after we dis-embark as well. I guess great minds think alike. Actually, the DW had to do a lot of sweet talking NOT! to get me to book this. We also booked a PS @ LTT for the same evening. Really looking forward to seeing the MK all spruced up for X-Mas. We always see it decorated for Halloween, as you can probably tell from our signature.

 

[PattiPB]

Monday will be 7/11, which means we are down to FIVE MONTHS until we board!!!!

BTW---the banana represents the Conch Coolers I'm gonna drink and the pirate is for our pirate night fireworks! AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH mateys! The mickey bars represents a small fractional number of how many I plan on ordering from room service!!!!!

 

[mom_rules]

Right with you on that!

Anyone have older teens going?

 

[fisherquinn]

We are headed, too- our first DCL experience. 2 kids, age 4 and 6, who are already very excited. It will be a needed break, as I am busy campaigning for the fall election season for my boss-- this will go on steady through Nov 8!

I am just hoping that we don't have terrible weather, but in the end, just the quick getaway will be better than nothing, no matter what the weather!

 

[PattiPB]

No teens, yet THANK HEAVEN!!!!!!!

DD will be 11, and my DSs will be 9 & 7.

Still haven't picked a hotel for after the cruise...okay, so I still haven't picked a hotel for before the cruise!!! We leave on 7/28 for Tampa, WDW, and a CCL cruise, so I'm trying to concentrate on that trip. Once we get back, though, LOOK OUT! I'll be in commando planning mode.

 

[CdnMom2]

We'll be there too. Can't believe the countdown is so close now. We've been looking forward to this for about 18 months.

DD16, DD13, DD12, DD7 & us. 2 rooms booked. We are SO Excited. Doing WDW for a week prior. Heading to Universal after get off the ship. Again, I think we will need a vacation from our vacation! Can't wait to see everything decorated for Christmas again.

I am currently debating booking a room at Comfort Suites for Atlantis priveleges. For all of us though, I'd have to book 2 rooms. Anyone want to split one?

 

[mom_rules]

Cdnmom-that sounds like a pretty good idea-pm me with details and I will ask my family

My DS is 17 and DD is 20. They only provide privileges for 4 people per room right? We still may be a couple short but maybe could only get them for the kids?
