December 7, 2014 "Dreaming of a Winter WONDER Cruise"

[sagekidsmom]

Sorry LuAnn I only just saw your question. I would have loved to have done the fish extender however I had already signed up for the Fantsay fish extender group and I think it will be too expensive and not enough room in my suitcase to bring two groups over. In saying that this is such a lovely group I'm very sad but I just don't think it will be possible xx

Even though you aren't doing ours, remember it's not about spending a lot. It's the joy of giving. Don't let it cost a lot in stress or in money.

It will be fun to meet your family. I love that you have a big family. We have five grown children and 13 grandkids. The time I miss the most when the kids were growing up was probably when they were in the age range yours are. One of our sons and his wife and 4 year old daughter are cruising with us. Actually us with them since it was their idea.

See you in a few months. Have you joined our facebook group?

Hello everyone!!!! We just switched our cruise and booked this one!!! We are so excited!!! This will be our 4th Disney cruise and our 4th Disney ship

We'll be visiting the parks before the cruise (we love MVMCP) and we look forward to seeing the Christmas decorations on the ship and Castaway Cay!

Cruising will be:

Me (31 when cruising, my birthday is the day we embark!!)
DH (30 when cruising)
DD (8 when cruising)
DS (6 when cruising)

I'm excited to get to know you all before we cruise. It's going to indeed be a WONDERful cruise!

Hi and WELCOME!! I'm glad you found the facebook page. I'm so much more familiar with that. Getting used to this, but still feel a little out of place. lol Are you thinking of doing Fish Extender? I'm so excited about it. Every idea I see I want to do!!

And until I saw your countdown clock I hadn't realized it is only 7+ months!! It seems so far away but calendars don't lie!

 

[sagekidsmom]

This will be my family's first cruise...I'm so excited!! I really, really want to do the FE activities...how does one get in on that wondrousness?? I requested admittance into the FB group. Can't wait to meet you!

I'm confused here. Did I end up adding you already? If I did, I didn't add your Dis name. If not, if you could message me on Facebook I'll get you added.

Super excited to join you all! This will be our second Disney cruise (did Alaska on the Wonder in 2011) and 7th cruise overall - we love cruising! My husband has always wanted to visit Miami so we will spend some time there too. I'm looking forward to being able to enjoy the pools (too chilly in Alaska) and visit CC for the first time. It's me (38), DH (40), DS (6) and DD (3). My daughter is turning 3 on the first day of the cruise - now I just need to work on potty training before then so she can enjoy the kid's club! Ah the pressure =)

Aww, your daughter and I share the same birthday!!! If you join the FE fun, I'll have to make sure I give her an extra special gift

Before we took our very first cruise in 2011, I told my son who was 3 at the time that if he wasn't fully potty trained by the time we cruised, he couldn't go to the cool kids club (showed him many pictures and videos). He was fully potty trained in less than a month! So I hope you have the same success before we cruise

Greetings cruisers!
Looks like DH and I are going to be switching to this cruise. We are doing Back 2back 7-12 12-17 on the Wonder and excited to celebrate our birthdays with Mickey!

This will be our 4th and 5th cruises with Disney. Love Disney! Looking forward to all the Christmas Antics on the ship!

Yes we will be doing the FE and I have already requested an add to the FB page. Can't wait to be on the Wonder again!

 

[sagekidsmom]

Glad you've joined us. I have you added now and just uploaded the new list. Our plan is to cut each group at 15 cabins. I'm going to ask when we get one more if anyone have people they want to be in group with or who they'd prefer not to be so we can make the split. Getting close.

Hi,

I posted earlier but wasn't sure if my kids wanted to do the FE or not. My daughter is now really excited about it so I was hoping I could sign up! It'll be me, my husband, DD (5) and DS(3). I don't make it onto Disboards as much as I used to but I'm really looking forward to cruising with everyone in December!

[sagekidsmom]

Absolutely!! Glad to have you join us. We are just starting the second group for FEs. We are planning a 15 cabin cap on the groups.

Are you on Facebook? Our facebook group is where we keep in contact more than here. We are Disney Wonder Cruise for December 7 - 12 2014. I haven't made enough posts to put a link here. To find me, I'm LuAnn Carpenter Sage. If you have trouble, just let me know here. Posts go to my email and we will figure it out.

If you want to message me on FB, What I'll need is your cabin number, your names (including last if more than one - at least one person has asked for personalization purposes so we're including it), kids' sex and age and any allergies anyone may have. If anyone has a favorite character, feel free to add that.

I'm so excited that our group is growing. Can't wait to get aboard that boat and meet folks!

I've sent a request via FB and I'll send you a friend request as well! Thank you again for doing this!

 

[LadyMac]

Our first cruise and we are greatly looking forward to it.
Would be interested in FE assuming there is a group.
Would appreciate an invite to the FB group as well.

There will be 4 of us: DH & I and DS (5) and DD (3). DD turns 3 on disembarkation day but has been fully potty trained since her 2nd bday so we are hoping they let her in the kids clubs!

 

[sagekidsmom]

Jessica, is this you? I hadn't gotten a notification you had posted here. Hmm I'll have to check the settings again. Anyhow...

Wanting to add your DISboard name to the FE list if it is. Since we go by different names on here and Facebook, I like to have it added. I confuse easily! lol

 

[Tannsmom]

Hi Everyone,

We just joined the Facebook page and now the DIS boards. Our first Disney cruise and first for our son who is 6. I was wondering if anyone has enjoyed the couples spa on the cruise ship ? I saw the pictures and thought we would love to spend an hour there. I'd love to hear if you have used the spa and if the price is worth it.

Is it too late to join FE for hath is cruise? We just booked recently. It's me, DH, DD 13 and DD 10. Thank you for any info!!

 

[Cheonsaa]

Hi all,
I've been a ghost reader of the forums for about 1.5-2ish years now and finally decided to sign up as an official member. My best friend and I will be joining you wonderful people on this cruise. It'll be our first time on a Disney cruise and, well, any cruise in general! Last year we flew down to WDW and decided to make Disney an annual trip in some form or another (If I remember correctly, I think we were discussing Disney Land for '15).
Still deciding if we'll be joining in on the FE fun, but I've already sent my request to join the FB group.
I won't bore you all with more of my rambling.
Take care!

What is the Itinerary and dates of stops on this cruise.. wondering if paths will cross.

 

[Rrhaynes]

Looking to join the fish extender group for Dec 7 2014. First time on Disney but have cruised on Carnival and Norwegian before. It's me, my husband, son, daughter n law and 2 yr old granddaughter. Can't wait for the fun to begin! Can anyone tell me how this group works?

 

[BrookeMQ]

Looking into booking this cruise or same one in November.
Is it too late to join the FE if we book this week?

Yes you should be able to this week. We have set our cut off for October 6th. Anyone who joins after will form a "last minute" fe group. Luanne should contact you shortly.
