February 13, 2011 - 7 Night Mexican Riviera Sailing on the Wonder

[Purplejewel]

Can someone post this thread to the 2/13/2011 7-night Mexican Riviera Sailing on the Wonder? Thank you!

Just got back a week ago from a 3-day Bahama cruise (1/21/10) and have already booked this cruise. I'm so excited. The 3-day cruises are never long enough. The 7-day cruises are just the right amount of time to acclimate, relax and enjoy. Anyone else out there booked this cruise yet?

I have been asked to add a roll call to my posting showing all the Disers who will be on the Wonder 2/13/2011 Cruise to the Mexican Riviera - those with FE beside their names have indicated in their postings that they are participating in the Fish Extenders - please PM me with any changes or add a post to the board. I apologize if I got any information incorrect.

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list

 

[mommyofthreeboys]

We are taking our first cruise this week. If we like it, DH and I might book this cruise. I'll let you know when we get back in 2 weeks!

I know you are going to LOVE the cruise. I wasn't sure if I would like cruising when I took my first one, but I am completely hooked on them now. They are by far the best way to vacation. It must be fun being the Mom to three boys. I love being a Mom to four daughters. It is very rewarding but it sure keeps me busy. Hope you have a great time on your cruise and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it when you return.

Hi!
We will be joining you on the Wonder for 7 nights in February for our first 7 day Disney cruise. We have done a 3 night and 4 night with the kids and then a three night - all adult - DH, my Mom and Dad- which was awesome. To this day, the kids don't know we did an adult-only Disney cruise. Please don't tell them .
For the MR cruise, we will be taking DD(17), niece (9), DH (52) and me of course (42).
We love all things Disney and after cruising with several other lines, still think that DIsney has the best customer service and family entertainment of any cruise line.

 

[Purplejewel]

Welcome Aboard! Glad to know some more people that will be on this cruise! This cruise will be adults only - me and DH. We always take a Disney Cruise without the kids once a year to celebrate our Anniversary and I'm so excited that this cruise is during the week of Valentine's Day - very romantic I love the 7 day cruises because by the 4th or 5th day you have gotten over the initial excitement, done alot and actually have days you can sleep in and really enjoy what cruising is all about - relaxing. Although there is alot of stuff to do on the cruises, one of my fondest memories from my last cruise with my DH was just sitting on the upper deck, sipping coffee and enjoying an afternoon movie on the large outdoor movie screen. Nothing substitutes for quality time with your spouse. In my hectic everyday routine taking care of 4 daughters, I don't get alot of quality time with my DH so I really enjoy having him all to myself on these "adult only" cruises.

 

[MazatlanMonica]

Hello to everyone in this group. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Monica and I live in Mazatlan, Sinaloa Mexico. For anyone on a future Disney cruise to the Mexican Riviera, I am pleased to make myself available to you for any questions about the city of Mazatlan or country of Mexico.

As for myself, I am a resident of both the United States and of Mexico. I speak both English and Spanish fluently and I have sailed on DCL numerous times and have been a lifelong fan of Disney. Let me say right upfront, I am NOT selling anything nor am I affiliated with any business or tour company. I am only here to help and give honest information and opinions in an attempt to make your time in Mazatlan or Mexico a positive experience.

I hope that everyone will welcome me to the discussion and that I can be of assistance to anyone who has a question about my city or country. I will attempt to check the boards once per day, but should I miss a question, please do not hesitate to send me a private message. I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Gracias,
Monica

 

[Mcky36]

I'm booked!!!!!!!

This will be our first Disney Cruise....Me, DH, DD(6) and DS(5).

We were looking to book this cruise and the jumped at the opportunity when the Kids Cruise Free deal came out. I'm so excited!!!!

Can't wait to meet you all!

 

[socababy]

So far me, a friend, my 3 kids (ds 7, ds 5 and dd will be 3) and my IL's are booked on this trip. Some of my neighbors are also pondering going!

 

[chrystine]

Hello everyone! I just booked this sailing as well. It will be myself, DH Jim and DS Matthew (10). Looking forward to this cruise It has been 13 years since we sailed DCL.

 

[Quimby]

I just paid our deposit for 2/13/11 so I think we're joining all of you to Mexico.
Myself, DH, DS(10), DS (8), from Ventura County, California.

We had no plans on cruising DCL anytime soon. We actually had the MR cruise booked 2 years ago but canceled because $6K was wayyy to much money...
Once I saw the kids free, I jumped on it. The price is much better then 2 years ago...
Even cheaper then our Princess Alaska cruise June 2009 which was also a 2for1 deal.
Kids didn't really like the Princess kids clubs or activities, so we're hoping Disney will be great!!
Looking forward to chatting with everyone over the months to come.

 

[czkmom]

We just changed from April to Feb 13th thanks to kids sail free!!! (It works better with the school schedule anyway).

This will be our first cruise (and my first trip solo with the kids - but my parents are coming along too so I'm not as nervous). It will be me (39), my three boys, Cameron (will be 18 a week before crusie date), Zak 14, and Kaleb 9. Then my parents.

It so so exciting to have something fun to look forward to!!!

 

[jeanneg4of4]

Just booked! I am sooo excited. This will be our 1st Disney cruise but we have sailed many times before. It will be Myself, DH, DS15, & DS12. Can't wait. we r from Ventura, Ca but now live in Ohio. It will be nice to see family again and cruise. Can't wait to see everyone.
Jeanne

 

[czkmom]

Well, I can't pack this early..... but I can get make/collect stuff for the fish extenders if any of us are interested...... thought I would start the idea just to see if we get anyone who wants to jump on board!!!

 

[Smbertram]

We are all looking forward to our third Disney cruise, cannot wait to sail the MR.

There are 8 of us going, Shawn and Sue (Disney Parents), Logan 5, Lucas 4, Lily 2 and Liam 1 (Disney Kids) and Kristen and John (Disney sister / Disney nanny and soon to be Disney Brother in-law)

We recently discovered DIS so we are both still newbies, but we are interested in chatting with others that will be on our curise and we are on board for the fish extenders, something we have never done, but always asked "what the heck are those?"

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Shawn and Sue

 

[jeanneg4of4]

Oh fish extenders sound great. This will be our first Disney cruise but I have read lots about fish Extenders. Count us in.
Jeanne.

 

[rebecca86]

Hi everyone, I saw the KSF and jumped on it. This will be our first cruise. I'm really excited to see other families with small children. Cruising will be me Rebecca, my husband Patrick, Harrison (5), and Delaney (2). Grandma also going to be joining us from Michigan.

We live in Orange County, so no airplane ride for us, and that's a big money saver!!

We are interested in the FE also. I'm so excited, my husband is already tired of listening to me talk about our cruise.

Rebecca

 

[Smbertram]

We are thinking about staying out in CA for a few days following the cruise, it is not too often that we are going to be that far west of CT so we are thinking about a few days in DisneyLand as well as a few of the other CA sites.

 

[rebecca86]

Disneyland is great in Feb. Not crowded at all. We are annual pass holders, so we go often. Feel free to ask any questions about the area. I’m sure that there will be many locals on the Mexican Riviera cruise who will be able to give you some great ideas!

rebecca

 

[Quimby]

This will also be our 1st DCL.
We are planning on bringing a Fish Extender and think it would be fun to coordinate as the time gets closer. I think our kids would love little surprises and we would like to do the same for others.

I just picked up pirate costumes online for Pirate Night for the kids!

Is there anyway to add a section at the beginning of our thread with a sort of roll call listing the people on our cruise so far?
