Disney Wonder Sept 3-7, 2006

[taeja71]

Hi all!! It has been a while since I posted here. Work has been crazy!! Sonya and I are all booked and paid, airfare and all. We are flying in 9/1 and spend 2 days in DW, then we board the wonder for the 4 night followed by the 10 night!! I am so excited. I have never done a back to back. we did the repo home last year on the magic! we have only been on the wonder twice. Once about 5 years ago during Hurricane Michelle, we sailed to South Carolina! Thne 2 years ago and we caught such a bad cold that we did not get to "enjoy".

We are lucky and have the same cabin for both trips!! So what planning did I miss??

Karen

So, glad you found us! Now, where to begin....

We'd love for you to link your dining with us (1st seating).

We're making t-shirt transfers on lime green shirts

We're making crusin' goodies (for the kids who are participating)

We're having several DIS meets: One at the terminal prior to boarding, One at sail away location TBD, and a third meet on Nassau day (I'm heading that one) time TBD

We're creating lime green rememberance bracelets for all of us - lime green with a phrase on it.

(I'd do a search for the t-shirt design pic and the phrase, but the DIS server is acting up. Sorry).

Any thing else fellow cruisers?

Karen, just post and let us know what you might like to do. We'd love to have you join us where ever you feel comfortable. Again, welcome back!

Welcome back Karen! I love your name, Lthouseprincess! I collect lighthouses and nautical stuff. Very cool!

Your back to back cruises sound awesome! Can I stow away?

TaeJa pretty much summed up anything you might have missed. We're all getting really excited as it draws closer. Are you planning any excursions? It's my family's first time cruising so we haven't committed to anything yet. We have a group of 10 ranging in age from 2 years to grandma. Lots of different opinions and ideas.

Let us know if you think of anything we might have missed.

So, do you all have the DCL telephone number memorized yet? Or are any of you going to try to do ressies online?

Ya'll gotta post so you can keep your quick fingers warm.

This may be too personal of a question to you all, but are you going to travel with passports?

I think I will book via internet..I asked DCL when the website is available to book ie 12:01 am??? but have not received a response as yet. I read somewhere it was 3am but not sure...

As far as passports,my wife has one, but we are using the birth certificates one more year. We all need to get them for our 07 cruise, so we will do it the old fashion way one more time...

Here's to a merciful hurricane season.

A prayer to the Patron Saint of Good Weather, Agricola couldn't hurt. His day of memorial is "Sept 2" (one day before we sail).



AGRICOLA of Avignon

Agricolus

Noted preacher, and famous for his charity and defense of the poor and sick against civil authorities. His blessing ended an invasion of storks, leading to his patronage of them, and his emblem in art. His prayers were said to produce good weather.

I for one agree and hope for a merciful hurrican season. (However, being stuck on the ship a few extra days on Disney's dime isn't that bad... trust me I know - See signature for details!)

T-shirt design, wrist band ordering (for those not interested in the t-shirts) DIS meet times & linking dining.

Glad to have you back!

I will try to do it on line. If unsuccessful, I will call.

I am using passports. My receipt from the TA had comments saying I had to have a passport but I know that is not true.

((((Hey! I'm looking at the smilie box and look!!!! ---> opcorn: That kinda brightens up my night.))))

I told the tech forum about the popcorn one not working right. I hope they'll fix it soon, b/c I am a popcorn addict.

Did I miss any other smilies?
