From WDW To DL With Love - January 06, 2011

[photocjr]

We'll just miss each other at WDW. We'll be there October 25-November 4. But we're in North Dallas so we should definitely try to hook up some time in the next 15 months. Our kids are much younger though, 2 & 4 right now (3 & 6 on the cruise.)

We will just miss the both of u. We are in wdw nov 5-14 then on to the double CC cruise from nov 14-21.

Checked the weather reports for Panama City in January. The temp average is the same no matter the time of year. However, the humidity should be less. In May '05 the heat and humidity got unbearable at times.
I talked with hubby some more about the website. He's cooking up something good he said. He'll get online soon and post what he needs from everyone. However since he won't get started on it until Monday at the earliest he's asking for everyone's patience. He estimates Nov 1 as the website launch date.

Tell him to take his time. Why rush? Cruise is still 460+ days away. I look forward to seeing what he comes up with. I do have a question. Will the site work good on an iPhone? I do most of my Internet from my iPhone so I am just wondering.

I will have to ask him that. The last website he built was for our 05 cruise and that was pre-iPhone. Jeff's sites are usually pretty streamlined so I would think so. But I will double check. He's ignoring email and the internet this week so I may not get an answer until next week.

Hey no rush. Just tell him you know of at least two iPhone users who are part of this group and would love it if the site could be iPhone friendly. That's all. If he can't, trust me I will live. I will be able to see it on a regular computer. Tell him thanks for all he is doing.

I actually just asked him about that. He gave me such a weird look and then smiled. It's a challenge and he wants to see if he can do it. So he's going to try. We'll use my iTouch to test drive it.

Well then a huge thank you to him and best of luck. If it doesn't work out oh well. I give him credit just for trying. I just may have to buy him a drink on board for just trying. Two if he can do it.

Thanks to JenKatt's hubby!!! Looking forward to the launch.

Hi Everyone. We are officially booked and found the thread. I am so excited I cannot tell you. My daddy always wanted to the canal crossing with my mom so I am living out their dream. It is going to be awesome.

My name is Sandy. We are from the SF Bay Area and are thrilled to be bringing the WONDER to her new home. I have been on three cruises with my DH. In fact, just got off the Magic week and a half ago. We had a great western cruise.

I love love love the graphic. I am totally a princess fan if you can tell from our name. DH is the goofy one.

Gotta go back and read posts from the beginning.

Whew! We had transfered our reservation Monday and had to put the additional deposit down, got it in tonight and we are getting the confirmation from our Travel Agent Whoohoo!

Now we just have to figure out if we will get the time off from work but I won't know until next year for sure. So I will hang out hear dream about the cruise and hope for the best!

Welcome aboard, GoofPrincess and LivingtheWDWDream!

Can anyone post a picture of a FE for reference. This will be the first time for us. Thanks

Hi all!

I'm Shoshie (Shoshana) and my DH Adam and I are so excited to be joining you!

Through some miracle, our phantom request came through. I faxed it in on June 30 and I logged in today and saw that we are on the PC --- I was shocked. I'm silver CC and didn't expect anything until next week.

We had to pay the difference from our placeholder and saw that they had added in our transfer and insurance. So not bad considering it is DCL = $2457 pp + insurance + ground transport + fees = 5750.36 (we're in a deluxe oceanview, category 09).

We're in our early-mid 30s and live in L.A. -- so we're hitching a ride home!

No kids yet (we were trying to time it so we'd have a little one with us on the cruise, but back to the drawing board).

This will be my fourth DCL (second on the Wonder), and DH's second.

Look forward to meeting everyone.

Oh my goodness, I was thrilled to see you on the board. Its Sandy and Tony aka gooofprincess. Shirley and Doug are booked as well. Disney bingo here we come. You gotta win this time. Last time I saw you was in Paradise Pier getting ready for that mouse event. I am heading for Disneyland in November to celebrate birthdays.

Here is a picture of ours.

In hindsight I probably wouldn't have done pirates but that was our theme in 2008. I love it tho! She does amazing work.

Quick question from a someone cruising with a kid and having no clue about the clubs. Jack is listed online as only being eligable for Flounder's. He'll be 3.5 at sailing. I didn't realize that 3.5 year olds were even eligible for Flounder's. Any idea what's going on?

DS was 3 1/2 years old on our last cruise. He was PT and registered for the Oceaneer's Club. I thought he would love going there, but no. (I think part of it was he had an accident the first night and had to page us for clean/dry clothes, and also because he didn't know anyone though he did make a few friends during the 2 weeks.) We did get him to go to a few activities, but after dinner each night he wanted to go to Flounders with his little sister. Since there weren't that many little ones on the cruise and because he was borderline as far as age goes, they had no problem.

I'm so excited that this time around both kids will be in the Club though. I think having his little sister there, even if they aren't in the same age groups, will make DS feel much better about it. At least I'm hoping that's the case.

I talked with hubby some more about the website. He's cooking up something good he said. He'll get online soon and post what he needs from everyone. However since he won't get started on it until Monday at the earliest he's asking for everyone's patience. He estimates Nov 1 as the website launch date.

That's so generous. Thank you! I think with 15 months to go, a few days or even weeks/months of waiting won't be a problem at all.

Here's our Fish Extender. It started out bubble gum pink with Mickey Mouse on each pocket. I originally added some sea themed stamped images to cut down on the pepto bismal look but didn't like how it turned out. So I had to paint over it. Now you can hardly tell that it used to look like so many other purchased FEs.

I found this post in another thread with some great information about fish extenders, FE exchanges, photos, etc. Check it out... http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=32651483&postcount=378

Hi folks.

Looks like I'll be joining you with my sister Teddy Bear. We took the Magic East last time and thought it would be fun to come back in the other direction. As Californian's, we're thrilled that the Wonder will be local and hope DCL will apply resident discounts to the entire state and not just Southern California

Hi. We are cruising as well; booked this past Monday. We live in Los Altos. I am totally with you re DCL CA resident rates. Its a big state This is our first long cruise and first on the WONDER. So excited.

Hi Kay,

We live in Los Altos. I saw someone else on the board from SJ. DH works for the State. This will be his retirement cruise. Then he'll be working a "fun" job. That's what I am doing right now.

How many cruises have you done? We have done three so far; two wests (finally got to Grand Cayman and one east). Just got off the Magic on the 26th and adjusting.
