We booked this cruise while on the Wonder last week. We had a very active group of DISers on that cruise and are hoping to meet more DISers on this one.

Presidents' week is a school break week in NY so the young ones in our party won't have to miss school and getting away from February in NY is always a plus. We had such a great time on our recent cruise but 3 nights was too short. We talked about booking the Dream but our family wanted a little longer cruise, we wanted to go someplace different and didn't want ot spend a fortune.

Anyone else out there taking this cruise? We're hoping so.

I have added your thread to the 2011 Wonder Cruise Meet list ...

 

[Aurora76]

We will be on that cruise as well. We are all soooo excited. This will be our third disney cruise.

 

[minie_meese]

Welcome Aurora - I was beginning to worry that we'd be the only Disers on this cruise. This will be our 3rd Disney cruise as well. Hope we'll see more people here soon.

 

[silence]

We booked our cruise this week. There will be 5 of us (DH, DS, DD and my mom) and we booked 2 cabins.

This is our 1st DCL cruise, we did a short 4 day cruise on Carnival to get our feet wet without the kiddos.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

 

[minie_meese]

Welcome - At this point we have 5 people as well - my husband and me, our daughter, our son and our 6 yr old granddaughter (she'll be 7 by then) - but that could change - we might add a few more. We've only sailed DCL so I have nothing to compare to but we loved sailing on the Wonder. We're all looking forward to this trip.

Hi All!

We booked while on the Magic February 6-14 - YES!!! We had an extra day on the ship due to weather at Castaway Cay, !!!! I was not upset about that at all

Anyway, at this time there are four of us, my DH, and my DF and her DS who will be 6. She has wanted to go for so long and her husband WILL NOT go on a cruise, none, so I told her we'd do it with her.

 

[Sweetpeabass]

Hopefully we'll have some more people to add later . A few are thinking about it and if they book by 3/15/10, they $200 of onboard credit . A great deal for sure . We'' see .

 

[Señor DonDuck]

We finally bit the bullet and booked this date. This is our first cruise... ever. It will be myself, wife and two daughters (7 & 9 at time of trip). We're so excited!

You chose the right cruise line, that's for sure. This will be our 4th on Disney and it has never disappointed, although I could give them some tips for when you accidentally get held up a day. Anyway...not only will your daughters have the time of their lives, but you and your wife will, too. They have lots of stuff for adults to do and great shows for the whole family!

Welcome aboard!!

 

[minie_meese]

Yea! Looks like we're up to 5 groups - glad you will all be joining us - it was a bit lonely here for a while. We are so looking forward to being on The Wonder for 7 days. Our last cruise was in December and we had 15 different Dis family groups. We booked this cruise on board. Looking forward to sharing info with everyone over the next few months.

We just did our cruise a couple of weeks ago and also booked onboard. We had close to 30 groups on the DIS board, 12 groups (43 people including children) participated in the Fish Extender gift exchange, but only a handful of the groups made it to the DIS meet after the sail away party, so did not meet too many of them in person. The FE exchange was fun, though, and I had a fun time making mine. It is definitely not the traditional FE, but everyone liked it.

Less than 1 year away! Hooray!!!

 

[Señor DonDuck]

Oh trust me, we are so looking forward to this cruise! I've been going through posts and previous trip reports taking all kinds of notes. Now, I just need to find a way to make the next 12 months go by quicker.

Glad to see so many other great DIS'ers already booked on this cruise.

 

[minie_meese]

We had a over 40 people participating in our FE group as well. Everyone got into it and we ended up with some great gifts. I think our 2 little ones think FE is a standard part of any cruise .

Our Dis meet was pretty minimally attended too but it was a short cruise and the meet was held right after the sail away party. Since this will be a 7 night cruise with 2 sea days at the beginning we have some more flexibility.

 

[mindy327]

considering jumping ship to yall and the party of DISers!!! Want to go on this cruise! So many Dis'ers = So many FEers! Were booked for Jan 30th. Anyone on here doing FEers?

 

[minie_meese]

We'd love to have you join us. I am sure there will be a good number of FEers on the cruise.

The more the merrier.

I would love to be a FE'er on this cruise. Sounds like tons o' fun.

 

[silence]

We are hoping to do the FE exchange too! I'm already on the look out for cool ideas.

 

[minie_meese]

We had some great FE gifts on our December 2009 cruise so I have some great ideas too.

 

[Sweetpeabass]

We do the FE gifting! Had a fun time this last cruise in February. I did sort of a theme each day (not sure I will do EVERY day this time), such as we were on the ship for Superbowl, so we did the little rubber ducks with football vests on (from Oriental Trading), a deck of pink and black pirate cards on Pirate night, etc. It was so fun and the little trinkets we received were fun, too. Definitely count us in for that.
