From WDW To DL With Love - January 06, 2011

Snow...1-3", what state are you guys in?

They are up in Wisconsin according the the list.

You'll know who they are on the cruise because they'll be in the pool at Port Canaveral when it's 60 degrees, and 70 degree water at Castaway Cay will be beautiful for them.

Yep, that's us On our previous two cruises - first in mid January, second end of January - kids were swimming at the hotel the night before outside, swimming in the Mickey pool on embarkation day and had no trouble at Castaway Cay . Mom/Dad are a little less resilient - we were fine just watching the show and wondering if they were crazy as the warm weather cruisers thought. We live just east of Minneapolis / St. Paul over in WI, commute into St.Paul to work.

It will be soon! Saturday morning the ground was white here - lasted until about 10:30 when the sun came out. Kids were bouncing off the walls that it snowed - told them to call grandma / grandpa . This morning - it's snowing again , predicting 1-3", so should be a little slow driving to work. This is a little early for us - haven't even closed the pool yet - scheduled for Tuesday.

Welcome to all .

It's been in the high 90's herre for about a week, but they're telling us a cold front will start affecting us by Fri....what do you think highs of 89??

We are heading down to WDW on Friday in our RV, we arrive at FWCG on the 20th and I am hoping for some cooler weather, it sounds like it has been very hot this past few weeks. We were there in August, it was great on the cruise ship but way too hot at WDW.

I've added some interesting statistics to the bottom of the list. Right now, based on what I have:

114 people in 44 staterooms, travelling as 38 parties.
This is 4.75% of the normal guest capacity(2400) of the Wonder.
This is 4.22% of the maximum guest capacity (2700) of the Wonder.
This is 5.02% of the available staterooms(876).

Hi Chris and Carol and Chris and Janet!

We were on the Westbound, too, until we rolled the deposit over to this cruise. I'm not such a fan of long plane trips

It's a nippy 30 degrees F this morning - our first frost. At least it's not S%@W!

Sooooo jealous....it's still 90 degrees here!

 

[Tigfanjeff]

Sooooo jealous....it's still 90 degrees here!

It's coming this weekend. We'll be down into the mid 80's by Sunday.

Woohoo...time to break out the winter jackets!

Love all the talk of snow - so not ready for it. We got some, mixed with rain on Saturday but it didn't stick. Tonight may be a different story as we are to get a inch or so. But, if we are to beat last year's record of a little over 18feet, guess we better get started.

The website is brilliant, everytime I go on someone or something has been added, I'm so impressed

I must PM you a photo, I'm off to photobucket to find one now

Thanks, and I fixed my typo (There are 877 Staterooms). Your picture is up.

If anyone has anything they'd like to see on the website, let me know. I will be working to get Fish Extender lists up. I also have an idea on how I want to handle the calendar, so once I have it coded, we can add celebrations/events/gatherings etc.

Maybe someone who has been on a previous PC cruise can help me. I am still trying to figure out a way I can get on this cruise. Now I am looking at going with just my two youngest children and I am trying to work out the logistics of traveling alone with kids to places I have never been before. If I have the DCL transfers-what airport in CA do they take you to?

I'm fairly certain it goes to LAX -- but it is possible they might have a transfer to Long Beach or Orange County

 

[Tigfanjeff]

I've just updated the page to add the calendar. You can now start PM'ing me celebrations/events/gatherings etc etc.

I've tested on IE8 and Firefox so far. I'll test IE7 and the iphone when I get home.

Yay ! Another PM is on its way

We just got off the Western Oct 3 where we booked this Panama. It will be me (Joleen , 36), DH (Gary, 42), DS (Jackson, will be 2 ½ at the time), DD (Sailor, will be 1 ½ at the time of sailing). We also have DS11yr but he will stay back in school for this cruise.

Hoping my in-laws will be joining us.

Me and the kids will be going on a 4night Feb 21st 2010. We are going with my mom, my grandmother, and hopefully my sister and her two kids. It will be a little hold me over till the Panama.

If all works out for Feb, the Panama will be my 4th Disney cruise, or my 4th cruise all together. Can’t wait.

I tend not to post much, but I do lurk quite a bit. Nice to meet you all.
