Disney Wonder March 20th 2011 sailing

[Apes]

For sure!!! My husband used to travel with the Dodgers and did their pre/post game shows & interviews also, so he knows a lot about them as well. Plus, both DH & I were both born and raised in Los Angeles (the Valley), so we grew up with the Dodgers.

Our husbands will have a great time talking baseball on the cruise! Are you guys going to the Meet & Greet on the first day?

LOL! Can my husband hang out with your guys' husbands?

I need to pack. I'm so procrastinating....kinda. I have some stuff to pack in our empty room. I'm too excited to pack. ;D I was going to wait til Friday eve, but we have decided to make a quick Disneyland trip after work. =D

 

[thelionqueen]

I have all my clothes stacked awaiting suitcases..box was shipped to the port today...magnets are done...got my FE from ebay (PERFECT too!), FE gifts in box, passports done, money for my Dooney & Bourke DCL Purse (thank you honey!!), ride to the airport and documents ready.

Now, if I can just quit procrastinating and get this stuff in the suitcases, I will be ACES!!!

I am absolutely SO excited I can't hardly think straight!!! I do have a question though...

A friend of mine suggested packing beer (aluminum bottles) in my checked luggage (to save on some alcohol expense)...is that a good idea? Once we get our bags to the airport, they are being put directly on the ship so I only need to deal with the weight of the bag from my car to the airline desk.

We are taking the Disney bus directly from the airport to the ship, so I won't have any opportunity to buy anything to bring on board...what do you all think? Any ideas? Thanks!! Can't wait to meet you all!!!

Kailua - SO HAPPY you got the Birth Certificate!!!! We should have a celebration toast soon

 

[thelionqueen]

OMG, I JUST saw my ticker from my previous post...ONLY 3 days????

 

[belle'ssister]

Got my daughter's birth certificate today so now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!!!

Last day of going to work today!

I'm officially excited now

Yeah! Great news.

 

[belle'ssister]

Lissame, did you get your FE yet?

I don't have any experience checking beer, but I do think the aluminum bottles are a good idea. I would pack it with quite a bit of padding, but they are pretty sturdy and lighter than glass.

Yes, we are sooo glad the Birth Certificate got here!! That was a panic attack I didn't need.

I never got around to ordering a pirate costume, so I'm going to try to throw something together today and finally try printing my magnets. Hope that's not too difficult!

Cheers, all!! See you soon

HI,..... The weather down here is SD doesn't call for rain on Sat,so you should have good weather for Legoland....

Carlsbad is about 35 minutes North of where we live. Our boys LOVE Legoland!

Here is my cell # for anyone to write down. I would love to have anyone else's too, to keep in touch and make sure we meet up. Good point about losing contact once we all start traveling....

See you all real soon!!

 

[bookite]

thanks cyndi, i'd forgotten that i have internet on my phone now (just got it in the last 2 wks of mad rushing to get ready for cruise on top of planning a big celebration at our school) so i just emailed myself a link to this thread, that will help at least til we leave port, lol! once i'm travelling i will see about making a spreadsheet with any info that gets posted here. if anyone else wants to take it on tho, they are welcome to, just let me know. that is what i've done for a women's group that i met online that we now do gwo (girls wknd out) every year with. screenname, real name(s), cabin # and phone # and where you are from if you want. dang why do i think of this stuff at the 11th hour? lol!

here's my info, feel free to copy and paste this and add yours... bookite,

Lara, 7004 (or 7006), 248.303.5025, tennessee


(i accidentally typed california for where i'm from the first time, that's what i'm used to telling people here when they ask, guess out of habit and maybe some anticipation to get back, it just just came out, lol!)

 

[Lissame]

Lissame, did you get your FE yet?

No...grrrr.

She says she mailed it on Tuesday. Supposedly going to arrive today. I am really, really hoping it does because I have so much to do over the next couple of days that I don't really have time to make something on my own.

Unfortunately, no matter how gorgeous the finished product is, I'm going to leave negative feedback.

I would send you my #, but as soon as I get in my cabin I'm turning off my phone and putting it in my safe.
How exciting to leave in 16 hours! I love Carlsbad, we've stayed there a couple of different times. We love Pizza Port!

 

[bookite]

you might want to leave your number for before you get to the room tho...just a thought. isn't the meet n greet before we can get to our rooms?

two more things...is there still a pajama party? what about a celebration for the bdays/anniversaries being celebrated on board? were these going to be the same thing/time?

and lastly, i've meant to ask this for months...is there a hair dryer in the rooms and also what about toiletries? is it like a hotel w/ soap, shampoo etc? tia!!

(can you tell i'm packing? lol!)

We're staying at the Doubletree on Saturday night, we arrive at 9:30 AM on Saturday and will have a car for the day. In case anyone arrives and wants to hitch a ride to the store or something, just text or call and maybe we can set something up.

In the room is shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. There is a hairdryer, but I've heard mixed reviews of how well it works, depending on your hair, you might want to bring a small one along.

I have no idea about the parties you're talking about--for the kids?

My FE hasn't arrived either, I'm about to put Lola to work with a whole foods bag & some crayons

Did she give you any indication as to whether or not she had mailed yours yet?

Hi guys, I was just going over the Donald FE list, and there are a couple cabin numbers missing on mine. If available, can I get the cabin numbers for Summer2002-Oregon Traveler-CO Lacrosse Mom-2princessa-pnwprincess please. Thanks!

What kind of stuff is good for FE gifts? I have never done this before. Kinda clueless!!

Also, where do we get the sign that we put on the door of our cabins?

I'm emailing you a new copy of the Donald list. It has all the room numbers.

FE gifts can be anything really. Something from your home state, little fun toys or whatever. There is a thread with all kinds of ideas. I would search it down, but right now I am trying to work and wrap up my trip prep. We leave tomorrow morning at 7:25am!

I shouldn't even be on the thread . OK, I will get back to work.

Thank You so much I am scrambling to get the last bits done also. We are leaving for the port in the wee hours on the 19th.

Do you mean the magnets, or the actual fish extender?

People print out magnets or buy what they can find at the store. As for the fish extender, you can order one (too late for that now), make one if you're crafty, or just use something you have around--a cute bag would work I think.

Michael's has a lot of great Disney stuff right now, if you have a Michael's near you, it would be a great place to look.
