Dec. 7, 2008 4 nite Mousefest Cruise - who's all going?

[TiggerTails57]

We have a rental car we'll be parking at the port. Our friends rented a town car from the Hyatt to the port and back from the port to the Hyatt.

Two weeks from right now we'll either be at MK or Epcot. DH and the boys really want to start off at MK, but the Christmas parade taping crowds scare me! I guess we can always hop. We have dinner ressies at the Garden Grill that night. Is anyone going to MVMCP on the 12th? Right now that's our plan but we still need to buy tickets. We're renewing our annual passes this trip too so I wanted to wait in case we decide to just hop to another park on the 12th. I love MVMCP, but it would be over $200 extra for us to get tickets.

I've got a MVMCP ticket for the 11th Dec, and have a town car to and from the port. My AP runs out on the 6th Dec, I'm not buying a new one till the 12th. That's why I got a party ticket!

We are going on this Disney Cruise! It will be myself, my husband, DS 10, DD 7, DS 5. DS 10 is nervous about going into the Oceaners Lab because he "won't know anybody", which I told him was crazy because no one will know each other! Any suggestions? Or, does anyone have a son in that age group with the same concern?

Just wanted to say "HI" I've been reading the boards now for weeks and thought, I should start posting myself. This is our 3rd DCL but the first with a toddler so it should make it interesting. We are also doing the Land and Sea (as much as we love the cruise, we have never been to WDW with it all decorated for Christmas). I was surprised to find out that we were on the MouseFest cruise so I didn't want to be left out.

Welcome to both of you! Be sure to check and get a feel for our first get-together.
The kids seem to have no problem making friends in the clubs. I'm sure the kids will make out just fine.


There are four of us sharing a ride to port.We have a car service taking us, both ways. We arrive on Sat, do the CP at Epcot, and then head out to port, first thing Sunday morning!! Can't wait to get there. In two weeks, I'll be at my first meet of the trip!!! Then, on to port, then back to WDW for another funfilled 5 days!!

Welcome! Looks like we've got a few from PA along with us! My DH's family is from Pittsburgh and we live right outside of Gettysburg.

Hi,
I just wanted to say Hi from Mechanicsburg it sure looks like PA is in force

 

[mkmommy]

how is everyone getting to the cruise? Are you taking the DCL buses? I booked transportation on their buses from WDW. but it seems like we will get there later in the day. now i'm kind of wishing I made other plans. I'm wondering if it's too late to cancel the transportation from the Poly to cruise, and go another way.

I would not worry too much about the DCL transfers from the Poly. It is great having your luggage picked up in the room and the bus ride is fun. When we stayed at the Poly pre cruise in March we were on the ship by 1:00. When we got to the port the terminal was empty so there was no waiting around and we pretty much walked straight onto the ship.

Welcome! My DS11 is the shyest of all shy kids and has always managed to have a great time and pal around with some boys in the club and on the sports deck. This cruise we have some friends coming along and it will be the first time in 7 cruises that he knows anyone first hand. Make sure you come to our meet if you can make it at 3PM and he'll at least get to meet Keegan and maybe Jake before we go to the Roy Disney suite tour at 3:10.

I sent out the final FE list a couple of weeks ago. I can add you to the list, but I cannot promise that everyone will get a new updated list not everyone checks the DIS every day or some people may have shipped off their gifts already.

If you would like to join send me a PM with your cabin number, names and ages of any children.

For the liquor yes you are allowed to carry it on with your carry on bags.

Hi All, I am so new to this! We are also on the Dec 7th cruise. this will be my 10th or so cruise on the Wonder. I am also a Walt Disney World Cast Member and was even an ambassador for the company and was on the Madden Voyage for both ships. All that said, I am new to much of this stuff like the fish extender and am not sure how to be part of that and what I need to do? Can someone please tell me. I am in cabin 6648 as of now. Sometimes they move cast members to other rooms but in the same catagory. Cant wait to be on the Wonder sailing again. Please let me know what to do with the whole FE thing and/or I can just do treats in others FE.

Thanks and Happy Sailing!!!

 

[Donald_Quackers]

I don't have anything on the fish extenders, but just wanted to extend a hand and welcome aboard!

My first trip on the Wonder, and I'm not far from you, I'm in 6630 (assuming they don't move you).

Welcome aboard, and welcome to the DIS boards

We had someone else that yesterday asked to join the Fish Exchange group yesterday so I will add you also. Basically we have about 20 cabins split into 2 groups and everyone is asked to deliver a small gift to the cabins in your group. It is up to you if you want to sign the gift, and if you want to do 1 gift per cabin or 1 per person. Please deliver the gift anytime between Sunday and mid day Wednesday.

I will send you a PM with the list of people , but can you please let me know how many people in your cabin and if you have children the ages.

We are having a DIS meet for anyone who wants to meet on Sunday at 3:00 up by the beverage station on Deck 9, it will be a short meet but a chance for you to say hi.

Thanks! I am very excited now that I am connecting with others on the cruise! What is a PM though? There will be 2 people in our cabin with no children. What type of gifts are given, just so I know what is appropriate to buy and give myself.

A PM is a private message, I sent you one so hopefully that will make it easier to understand. I do not think you can send a PM yet though.
