Disney Wonder Eastbound Panama Canal - October 2015

[MouseMomx2]

Hi All! I have taken over the planning for our private alcohol tasting sessions. I am in the process of confirming those already signed up and am looking for James & Nedra Bell, Chris Horowitz and Bruce & Joan Dunmall. If you are here please just let me know if you'd still like to participate.

There is still room in all of the tastings. We need just two more people signed up to set up a Beer Tasting and 9-10 for the Tequila and Wine tasting events. Please sign up here if you are interested... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ruZM-AmGfLxcarApRn1xr6bKypZnhArbuK5tX8cmMPM/edit#gid=0

Thanks!

I just got on here, can you please sign me up for the beer tasting. I am the Michael Smith staying in 6028, not the one in 6040, who is already signed up.

I sure can Michael. Welcome! Disney will let us know the day/time about 2 weeks before we sail. The $20 fee will be charged directly to your stateroom account.

Sweet. My wife Hope Smith would like to do the chocolate tasting as well.

 

[MouseMomx2]

I will add Hope to the chocolate list!

Will you put together a schedule for all of us so we don't miss any? Please and thank you!!

Was this for me Joanne? If so, definitely! I won't have the schedule until a couple weeks before we sail, but I will make sure to post it for everyone once I do get it.

TASTINGS UPDATE - The chocolate tasting is now full. I will take names for a waitlist. If we get enough (10) we can take 10 from the other group and schedule a second session. Also, we only need 2 more for the Mojito tasting. If this is something you'd be interested in please let me know!

We are too! Super excited, I didn't think I'd get the hubs to agree to 14 nights I sold him when I told him the 5 night Bajas were ~3300 but the 14 night EBPC was only ~6700! Plus, it will be over Halloween, I'm hoping they really live it up for Halloween on the High Seas. DH and the kids LOVE Nightmare Before Christmas and Jack Skellington, so that was a huge selling point.

I've got 3 kids, they will be 7, 4.5 and 2.5 at the time of sailing. Any other kids going to be on the cruise?

Last HOTHS cruise, there was a 3D viewing of Nightmare Before Christmas and we got pics with Jack and Sally afterwards. Never expected this, but I thought it was way cool, since I am a fan! That, and having never seen those characters on a cruise before!

Yes, please, I don't want to miss anything. I get so excited being on the cruise I forget where I am supposed to be. You don't know how many meets I have missed! !!!! There are so many things to do. I have been reading all the trip reports. There is a lot of trivia game we want to go to!!

Thanks in advance for doing this!!!

For anyone looking for transportation from the port in Galveston to Hobby Airport after the cruise, a charter bus is being arranged. Send me a message for more info!

Late in the game here, but there will be seven castaways in our party. Myself (Michael) and my wife Hope will be in 6028, celebrating our 25th anniversary on2 November. My sons Keith (21) and Graham (20) will be in 5144. My mother, sister and niece will be in 6532. So excited.

Welcome!!! Glad you are joining all of us on this cruise!! If you are interested in signing up for FE, private group drink tastings, ornament exchange and many more opportunities see the very first post!

Hi All,

I am still looking for a few people who have not RSVP'ed for the various tasting events. I am looking for Tiffany Murff, Chris Horowitz and James & Nedra Bell. If I do not hear back from them by the end of July I will remove them from the list, but I wanted to give them all another chance to reply.

Thanks!

 

[tomoyo]

Tiffany Murff and Chris Horowitz are together in my notes. I saw she was removed from the tastings list. Is she not going on the cruise or just bowed out of the tastings?

 

[MouseMomx2]

Thanks for letting me know they are together tomoyo. I haven't removed them from the tastings list yet, but I also have not gotten any response from her. I have left two messages for her on FB and she has not responded to either. I will give it until the end of July before I remove them. It's a tricky situation...i don't want to remove them if they still want to participate, but I also don't want them charged for so,etching they no longer want to attend...if they are even still sailing.

 

[tomoyo]

I went ahead and removed them from the FE list as my deadline is earlier. The cruise is supposed to be a surprise for Chris, so I have opted not to contact him, but she hasn't replied to my message on FB either even though it shows she read it. I don't see her on your list anymore, so I was hoping she replied to you.

Greetings All. DW and I are now empty-nesters and we'll be Platinum for the first time on this cruise. We last did the Wonder over Christmas in 2013. We've been booked forever, but I finally started working on shorexes. We've booked a 3.5 to 4 hour trip with Roger's Boat Tours in Cabo (http://www.rogerstourboatcabomexico.com/), including El Arco + snorkeling + Santa Maria. Reviews on TA are good. We've been to Cabo before and this sounds like a more intimate outing than most. We have a friend with us to make 3, and we are happy to pay the $400 alone, but we thought we'd enjoy it more with a few more people. We'd split the $400 by the number of people, max of 10, $15 additional per person over 6 (don't ask me why). Check out the website; let me know if interested.

I'll pass on the FE this time, got a big project with no time at all to prepare. Regarding Cartagena, do I understand that tour 1 requires 20 to go? I could offer 3, but it looks pretty short at this point.

 

[MouseMomx2]

DisneyDarwin, we might be interested in your tour. We are currently booked on a snorkel trip with DCL but I like the idea of a smaller boat/less people.

As far as the Cartagena tours go, I'm not sure if Tour #1 will get enough people, but Tour #2 is with Marelvy Pena who is consistently among the top-ranked tour guides in that city.

Also, here is the link to the tastings sign-up. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ruZM-AmGfLxcarApRn1xr6bKypZnhArbuK5tX8cmMPM/edit#gid=0
Please let me know if you'd like to participate in any of them. We have room in all sessions but are still trying to fill Champagne, Cognac & Martini. If we don't get enough for those, and you are interested, you can sign up for a regular session once on board.
