January 11, 2009 4-day Wonder Cruise

[PigletsPal2]

Anyone else gonna be on this sailing? So far, it looks like just DH and me! Wow! Think of all the attention we'll get from the crew! And no problem with Palo and spa reservations! Whoopee!

 

[Jusacuz]

I will be there with my daughter. Her 16th birthday is the 12th, so the cruise is her gift. :

Hi, Jessica, I'm Colleen, aka PigletsPal2, aka Queen of the Realm.

DH (King Buzz) and I are old enough to be your parents if you have a 16 y.o., but we have a 17 y.o. granddaughter, so if you need to vent (here or on the cruise) we'll be there for you

I'm so excited (already!) and the poor King still has to listen to five more months of this!

Welcome aboard to OUR cruise - I hope many more join us in the (too many) days to come.

Nice to see there will be someone else on this cruise. I have had my reservation in since sometime in dec. or nov. It has been so long that I forgot when I put it in. But it is in the system and it is all paid for. Hope to see you all there. Spending the week before at disneyworld.

 

[OZ Family]

Australian family of 4 two kids Daughter 16 and son 10. Kids dont know about Cruise untill Christmas . Cant wait till we are there.

 

[PigletsPal2]

Welcome, OZ family! We've visited Sydney and loved it; hope to go back for another trip sometime in the future.

OK, two families w/teenagers - hope we're not the only golden oldies on board!

We're on the Wonder! DH and I, and DS turning 2 on the 11th. First cruise for the little one, second Disney cruise for DH and I. Looking forward to seeing the kiddo's reaction to Mickey on a boat (he's been to WDW like 6 times already and loves it!).

Too long til January....

 

[GoDeacs]

We are on the cruise, too! It will be our first time cruising! I am so excited-we booked the cruise in May after our first family trip to Disney World. It will be me, DH, DD 7, DD 5, and DS who will turn 3 on New Year's Day, so it is his birthday present. We will go to Epcot on the Saturday before and I guess we will spend the night in Port Canaveral. We will go back to Disney World after the cruise for 4 more nights. I can hardly wait!!

 

[PigletsPal2]

Just found out that our best friends just booked this cruise, too! They're "oldies but goodies" like us, so we'll have someone to play with!

Hello One & all !

My name is Kris and I will also be traveling with you (Solo traveler). No kids but I do have a 'four legged' kid at home named "Ladybug" (a Dog) and my favorite character is Goofy. First time traveling on the Wonder, never been to Walt Disney World....and if anyone of you needs an extra player in any of the Disney games (or contests) - feel free to give me a holler!

Counting down the days -

 

[WDW Princess 71]

Hi Everyone! My sister (20) and I (22) will be traveling on our "Sisters Cruise"...we went on our 1st Disney Cruise in 2004 and can't wait to enjoy our 2nd time around! I love these boards and I'm excited to hopefully meet some of you fellow Dis'ers on our cruise!

 

[Jusacuz]

We were way back on page 4 so I thought I'd give us a bump up. Just over 3 months to go! I just got off the Wonder last week, but I am ready to go again.

Would anyone be interested in a fish extender gift exchange? For those that don't know what it is, you can do a search on the main cruise area about it, but it is basically a gift exchange onboard. We did it this last cruise and it was a lot of fun. I think the kids would definitely love it, but it was just DH & I and we enjoyed it too. We ended up with lots of candy, but there were other gifts, too that were really neat, like magnets and bookmarks.

 

[PigletsPal2]

Thanks, Jessica, for moving us up! Do I dare to hope that you're volunteering to organize the FE gift exchange? I'd offer, but I'm working a contract away from my home city and don't have regular access to the boards - I could help, though, if there's something I could do remotely. If the exchange does get organized, I'd love to be included. Just DH and me, but I could probably convince our friends to join in, too. Keep us posted, and TIA.

Sure, I can organize it. If anyone wants to join, just post here or PM me.

I guess I would need to know:

Name (screenname is fine)
# in party (especially kids)
room number (pm this to me)

Once we get a few names, I'll start a post with just the screennames, so everyone knows how many we have and about a week before I'll send everyone the list with room numbers.

Did I miss anything?

 

[WDW Princess 71]

Jessica, this sounds great and thank you so much for volunteering to organize! This is my second Disney cruise but I had no idea about these boards the first time around, so this time I am super excited about door decorating, FE's, and communicating with other DISers! It is just my sister and I on this cruise, but we would love to participate. Please include me on this FE post! I'll PM you my room number later today as you requested. Thanks again!

 

[PigletsPal2]

Thanks for organizing this!

[Jusacuz]

thank you to all who have given me their info. I am thinking we should probably stop taking names at the end of November, if that is ok, so everyone has time to get stuff together. For those who haven't joined, we'd love to have you! :

This is the list so far. a=adult c=child
PigletsPal2 (King Bernie & Queen Colleen) - 2a
WDW Princess 71 - 2a
Jusacuz (Jessica) - 1a,1c
MarlayMike (Marlene & Michael) - 2a

Edited: For those who are wanting to participate but have questions about what on earth we're talking about, I am adding some links about what fish extenders are and some gift ideas. I bought my extender on ebay (wow, that sounds bad), but they are easy to make if you're crafty. Gifts can be pretty much anything. I bought stuff at Oriental Express, but lots of people make things that are great.
