December 7,2013 Wonder from Galveston

[dryvithome]

The kids don't need a passport for this trip right? Our travel agent said we didn't. does anyone know for sure?

Don't need one, as someone else posted. It can come in handy if you needed to fly back home for an emergency, but otherwise, not necessary for the "closed loop" cruises, which start and end in the US.

As to the Shutters CD, it is costly. I think there was a link on DISBoards about a prepurchase price, I'll dig around and see if I can find it.

And for anyone who may not have cruise Disney before, here is a link to the Navigators from different cruises. This can help with getting an idea of what is available to do on board. There isn't one for the Wonder out of Galveston (yet), but it will probably be available after the first sailing.

Does anyone know how much the Disney CD from Shutters is? I heard $399 and $299 and was just wondering if anyone knew what the recent cost was?

Found it. Under the FAQS sticky: (cut and pasted for convenience)

You can also purchase photo CD's (priced according to length of cruise)

Thanks for the info, looks like I need to budget for the CD. I heard on another thread somewhere that if you go into the cruise with the CD budgeted then you can really take advantage. I figure for that much money I will have them do a photo shoot of my kids on every possible occasion. That will be our Christmas photo we send out for the holidays and the kids yearly photo for this year all wrapped into one along with the vacation photos as a bonus!

Anyone have an idea what they'll be doing when we dock at Key West? The excursions don't seem very exciting.

Not sure yet. We plan on at least taking a look around. I like to get out and see places, whether I like them or not. I did find one interesting sounding restaurant/bar that I want to check out. The menu had "bacon wrapped hot dogs" and that kind of jumped out to me. Going to try it out.

Was their website. I've been looking at different menu websites and trying to see what is out there. We're still looking for ideas as well.

Dont miss going to the Southernmost Point of the United States. Great Photo Opportunity.

We took our boys when they were younger and they both enjoyed it and still talk about it. Should be a lot of fun.

If anyone wants us to make you a license plate, or Family Cruise Magnet, send us a pm. Within limits, if you provide a name and a background picture we will try our best.

We just started doing this stuff on our last cruise and we have as much fun planning for the cruise as we have on the cruise.

This is our first year doing the Fish Extenders, and we made ours from scratch. Will try to get a photo of them on the Skydrive.

This message got lost at the beginning of the thread, so I thought I'd link it again.

We are back in the mode of making magnets for the door for this cruise, if anyone has any requests, within reason, we can give it a try.

We also have provided source files for the Disney Ships Bow and Stern art exmples located in this thread. If you want a link to the Adobe Illustrator files for these art files, let us know.

The work we did complete can be seen here.

All bets being placed that you will never go back to another cruise line after doing a DCL cruise. It's That Great!
