FEB 3, 2008 ABROAD DISNEY WONDER--Who else??

[taramarie]

New subject; Men. No, no, no. Not like that. …Guy Gathering? Better. The Beer Tasting sounds like a good start. How about a fishing excursion at Nassau or Castaway Cay .

LOL
My DH would like to meet I think. He kinda mentioned it to him and I think he is game! check out the krewe webpage at www.travisfamily4.net/cruise.htm there are some things planned and mentioned already.

My DH has whole heartedly already said HE IS GOING to the beer and wine tastings...so I think the beer one is great for a men only and us gals can do the wine???? PLAN?????

Who’s spending time at WDW too?

Before? After?

How many days?

Where are you staying?

For instance; we are do WDW after the cruise for 5 days, and are staying at SoG.

You have been busy with the posts haven't you!!! LOL

We are doing before...but just for one night at P&PP. DD has no clue! We are staying Saturday night at POFQ and then going on the cruise.

We have a Cat 12 cabin. I too am hoping for an upgrade. How do you go about getting one? I was just planning to show up at the terminal early and asking at check in. Is that too late? I’m also waiting for DC to release Military Discounts. If / when they do, I get it retroactively!

For dinner, we have are scheduled for the Main seating.

I made our Palo Dinner ressies for 9:00 on night two(2). I chose this late seating for a few reasons. I read a few tips that said to go for the night we are docked at Nassau so the view is better. It was also suggested to make ‘em late so we can eat a light snack with DS while he eats his dinner . Also, by the time I got to the ressies, there weren’t many other choices left. Anyone got any opinions on this timing? How strongly should we consider a Palo Brunch too?

We are Cat12 now too. We are hoping for an upgrade as well. We feel we might be lucky...anniversary, travel agent, over a year in advance ressie. Fingers Crossed!!!

We are doing Palo the last night...didn't want to miss rotation dinners and was not sure DD would stay in the club till late...she can be pickey. I heard the same about Palo...make it for a night at dock because at sea there is nothing but black outside.

I would like a brunch...but DH wanted dinner first and formost and by the time we got of the webpage lunch was closed. Still hoping though.

We are main seating too. Do you want to have your seatings linked to the rest of us. We are going to call the week or two before and link all the tables...not so we are sitting together but near each other. COOL!

Time is getting shorter!!!!

I went to WalMart tonight and picked up some fabric to make our Fish Extender! I also got DD some ariel fabric to make a dress. They also had some DIS green Hanes lightweight zipup jackets....so I picked up one of those.

I can't wait anylonger!!!!

Hi everybody!

My name is Lauren and my husband Dennis, his mother Glorieux, and I are all going to be joining you on board. I have never been on a cruise before and am very excited! They are sailing pros (but this will be their first time on a Disney Ship). Can anyone give us newbies any tips? We just booked dinner at Palo for 6:00 pm the first night. I think we are leaning towards trying the Atlantis excursion as well.

Can't wait to meet you all!

 

[Lbutlermmc]

We are totally game for the magnet exchange. Is anyone staying in Cape Canaveral the night before? We will be at the Residence Inn, then heading to WDW post cruise.

 

[MomPotz]

Welcome Lauren and family! I am a 1st timer too, so I don't really have any tips. Just check the boards, you'll find answers to questions you didn't even know you had!! We are doing WDW pre-cruise and then flying home immediately afterwards. It is going to be here before we know it

 

[Lbutlermmc]

Mom Potz-
What part of MN are you from? We are from NY, however Glorieux now lives in Rochester, MN. She moved there about 2 years ago.

 

[MomPotz]

We live in Shakopee (a suburb of Minneapolis).

Hello everyone,

We are finally wrapping up the holidays and I am back.
Tara, hope you enjoyed the Christmas Eve gumbo, ours was delicious.

We to the Disney store tonight and did not really find much. I plan to check the dollar stores and Wal-Mart.

35 days left!!!

 

[MomPotz]

We ordered our + tickets for Feb 2 so we'll be there! Have you guys planned anything for the meet? It looks like they are still going to do the Wishes fireworks at 6:45. We always watch from the bridge to tomorrowland right under Tinkerbell's cable if anyone would like to join us.

IMHO, an excellent resource is PassPorter.com. Their site is simmilar to this one, but they also offer profetional guide books for all the parks, and for cruising. If you pay for a one month trial membership (less than $5) you can download a number of otherwise free guide books, including a really neat one for the cruise called PassPorter’s® Disney Cruise Clues: First-Class Tips for Disney Cruise Line Trips

If the link below doesn't work, you can cut&paste the url, and it should take you to a great looking sale. Could help with Secret Tink...

YEAH!!!! I am so glad you guys are going to come to P&PP! There is a meet for about 6:45ish by the Jungle Cruise ride I think....

Did they ever decide if they were going to do wishes that night??? I know they are doing special P&PP fireworks though. I think we should all get together for the fireworks for sure if not the parade too.
