Jan 8, 2012 Mexican Riviera

[micandkay]

Hi. We're a DM Vicki and DD Kati 20 on our 3rd DCL cruise. This is a first on the Pacific ocean and we're looking forward to as much fun on the Mexican Riviera as we've had in the Bahamas and Caribbean. We've participated in FEs and would love to do so again. Anyone else on our cruise, we would love to hear from you.

Hello we are a family of five cruising disney for the first time. me (Adrianne) Matt (DH) Drew (DS) 15, Chloe (DD )10 and Ireland (DD) 8. We are traveling with our friends who have 2 children. My husband and I have cruised once before on Royal Caribbean and are looking forward to our first Disney cruise. My kids all really want to participate in the FE so if anyone has any info on how to start up the FE I am willing to help. Looking forward to talking and getting to know all our DIS board friends.

Hi Everyone! This is my husband and my second Disney cruise, but first to the Mexican Riviera. This past January we went on a 7 night western Caribbean and LOVED it. My dad is also coming along with us. This will be his first cruise.

We loved meeting everyone from the DisBoards last time and loved participating in the FE. We would love to be a part of another FE exchange!

Hello all, this is our first family cruise and we're so excited there are 12 people in our party all together. my husband (Jesse), daughters (Marley & Josie), and Myself (Samantha). Along with my sister (Sparkling) her two daughters (Kailah and Bryanna) and her husband Matt. My father & mother (Bryan & Sandy) and my brother David and his daughter Noell. Yes we have different staterooms > We are so excited to be on the DCL for our first family trip together, we do have some repeat cruisers: Sparkling and Kailah on DCL to Mexican Rivera in March 2011. and Sparkling and Jesse on another cruise to the other side of mexico late 2003.

It is very exciting for us, we're are currently reading passporters Disney Cruise Line and it's ports of call, and it has some great information regarding our cruise setting sail in January. the edition we currently have is the 2010 so it is not on our current sail dates but other than the dates its all the same, however in Sept 2011 the new edition is released if you would rather have that one which includes our cruise dates. I suggest this book if you would like further information on your cruise and what to expect and bring. It has details on the food, room sevice the activities etc. very informative.

We look forward to a great cruise and meeting lots of friendly people.
I was wondering if anyone has started the Fish Extenders yet? I heard this is a really cool way to meet other guest and give and receieve welcome gifts. I know our cruise is a ways out yet, but I hope getting an early jump at it could be helpful.

I think we've all expressed interest but no one has officially started a list or anything. I don't mind being a moderator for the list if that's cool with everyone.

We pre-ordered the new Passporter's Guide so we can get it in Sept!

I'm on FB! We should definitely start a group!

Hi Carrey
YES I was on the inital sailing of the wonder this past Jan and they canceled that port bec it was only a week or so after that tourist got shot - I didnt think they would cancel it this far out but you have got to love that they are looking out for our safety ! We did 2 stops in Cabo last time - bet they will do the same this time then - Does anyone know if the golden mickeys are playing ?
Also thanks for posting the FE list ! Should we break the groups up if it gets too large? Last cruise I went on we had 25 cabins and it was WAY too much - people were not giving out as good of stuff as if they had say 10 cabins and it took me 2 hrs every day to deliver everything - GREAT if you have kids but I dont LOL and I dont think Denver is that smart to figure out the rooms and delivery LOL just let me know what everyone decides - if you keep the group together that is fine I just think we may pass if thats the case but wont have our feelings hurt

anyways good to see this board going - my facebook is Cari Shields its a pic of me and a dog - if you cant find me you can find Denver under Denver Shields add him and I will add you - Im going to start a FB page soon then ! What should we call it or call our group ? Hmmmmmm

 

[denversees4me]

just added the group to Facebook - Disney Wonder Jan 8 2012 sailing

 

[carreyw]

Let's see how big the list gets and then maybe everyone can vote to see if we keep it together or not?
My last cruise had a pretty large DIS group but not everyone participated in the FE so it ended up being fairly reasonable. My husband and I only did one big gift so it was easy for us since we only went out one time. I can see how it would be hard for people who have gifts every day.

I requested to be added to the FB group.

I'm so excited about this cruise! I can hardly work! LOL.

I wouldn't mind if Mazatlan was canceled. Did you guys just stay in the Cabo port that night or did you go out to sea and then back in the next day? How did that work?
