February 27th 2011 Mexican Riviera aboard the Wonder

[FLVacationGirl]

I just bought our plane tickets today!

It's feeling very real and I'm so excited

Whoo hoo!

 

[Twinkledust]

Looks like this trip is really going to happen! Dh just received his bonus and it was a pretty decent one!
I bought a swimsuit!!! Not sure if it will be warm enough to wear, but it's better to be prepared. Right?
Also just renewed my annual pass and took DD today. Haven't been all summer and missed Disneyland so much!!!
Just going to sit here and count down the days to vacation...

Sorry to say we're canceling this sailing - Carnival is repositioning two ships through the Panama Canal next year so we're going to cancel DCL and do that instead. On the downside, I'll miss meeting all you great folks and I now have an additional 9+ months to wait before we cruise (Dec 2011). On the upside... crossing something major off my bucket list! I've always wanted to go through the canal; super-excited to be booked.

Have an awesome trip everybody!

We'll miss you!

Have a great trip going through the PC! That is so neat!

Who is dressing up for pirate night?

My family will be for sure. My dh and I were on the Wonder before and we dressed. It is alot of fun!

 

[Ladyshopper]

Enjoy the Panama canal AQW!

Yes, we will be dressing up for Pirates night. Kids definitely, and me if I can find something suitable! If I can't I'll get a pirate inspired t-shirt or something!

I too hope to go through the canal someday, so I totally understand. Have a wonderful trip

Sorry I'm a few days late...

FIVE MONTHS TO GO!!!

Hooray for those buying their airfare! That's a BIG step! I was confused when I got our big credit card bill last month... until I remembered that the IND-LAX tickets were on there.

I bought a big tub at Walmart to throw cruise stuff in... and it's almost full!

 

[Ladyshopper]

I know, I've started doing Fish Extender stuff already, also doing magnets for the door. Reckon my luggage will be so full of those things I'll have no space left for clothes!!

Hi all!

Can't believe we've got less than 5 months to go

Well our plans are coming along....slowly! We have been looking at flights and they are so expensive. We have looked at every option possible but think we have settled on using some Virgin Airmiles to part pay for the flights. The cheapest we could find were over £2000 for the four of us return

I got excited the other day when we brought some stuff to make some of the FE gifts

Snap and mine, lol!! Luckily though our gifts aren't too bug, hopefully the gifts we receive wont be either else we'll have to leave the kids behind

Whoop whoop we've booked our flights

We are flying to LAX on the Thursday before and then home on the day we get off the boat. We haven't told the kids yet but we are staying next to Disney and will be going to disney for a couple of days before we go on the cruise. We've been to Florida loads of times and the kids love it so this will be a real treat for them!

Does anyone know what the weather will be like in February?

I everyone! I was the second responder to this thread when it started & I had forgot to check back until now. WHAT was I thinking??

This will be our 3rd Disney cruise, but a total surprise for my son this time. He has begged us to take him back on DCL for the past 3 years, but we have sailed Carnival lately because we can drive to the port (Galveston).

So when they had the kids sail free thing going, we jumped on it & he has NO idea. He is going to flip his little lid

I see talk of fish extenders...is there someone organizing this? We had them on our 2nd Disney cruise and it was such a highlight of my son's day to see if there were any surprises left And I had just as much fun planning what to bring and share with others! I don't want to miss out if there is something in the works!

I'm Heather, my Hubby is Jeff, & Reese is our 7 year old. We homeschool, so I don't have to worry about teachers sending homework...THIS teacher is taking a break too!

Hope you're all having a great 10/10/10 and can't wait to meet you!

Who you flying with? Wonder if we're on the same flight! Are you staying at disney the night before or nearer to San Pedro? We're flying in on Tuesday then going to do some sights. Probably not disney, as just can't afford the tickets on top of the cruise, but might venture to downtown as thats free.

First time crusiers for us(so excited and a little nervous).

We are flying in on Friday morning from the East coast just to adjust to the time difference and to make sure we make it, if it snowy in NY.
Planning on using Disney Transportion to the port on Sunday. Do you know do they pick you up at the airport and starting at waht time?
Any suggestions for a good, reasonable hotel near LAX with a shuttle to the airport??

 

[CrazyZeus1]

My Hubby had a question for those of you who know...

Is there a Budget rental car place near the port? In Galveston & Port Canaveral, we rent a car, drive to port, drop off the car, & take the rental car shuttle to the port.

Is there anything like this in LA Port?

Howdy neighbor! <waving from Inglewood> We should meet up at Disneyland sometime... how fun would it be for our DDs to meet ahead of time and have a built-in friend on the cruise! My Celeste turned five in April.

I will get the Secret Mickey thing going in a couple of months and will definitely post here for sign-ups.

We just have one, a 6 year old girl. Our passes actually just expired on her birthday. Just waiting for the right time to renew.

So did you renew your passes?? Just checking we'll be at Disneyland on Monday if you want to meet for a ride or two?? ctoonwife@aol.com

Hi CrazyZeus1, welcome back to the thread

I am organising the FE if you want to join it just put your name and details etc on the FE thread

LS we are flying Virgin, using mainly virgin airmiles that we have gained over the last few years from holidaying with Virgin We will be in Downtown Disney one day, not sure which yet. We fly on Thursday and then fly back again with virgin on the day we get off the ship. When do you fly back? Will have to try and meet up in Downtown disney or maybe in England before we go.

 

[Ladyshopper]

We are flying British Airways, but flight isn't til around 6pm the day we get off the ship, so no idea what we're going to do for the day!

Definitely up for meeting up here or there!
