January 22,2009 3 day Wonder cruise meet

[niciggy]

My wife and I will be bringing our little 1 year old daughter on this cruise.

We have taken two cruises before we had our daughter, and this will be the first one for our little Madeline.

We decided on a 3-day to test the waters (hehe) and see how she does.

Hopefully you will not figure out which cabin is ours by the crying.

Hi Grumpy and Princess-are you interested in the FE exchange? Your one year old might not appreciate it as much as YOU would...however if people planned, we could try to get little things that she could look back on as her first cruise? Let me know, as I'm the unofficial FE coordinator! Nicole

Hi I will be on this cruise too, first DC not first cruise.
I would love to be apart of the FE exchange too


Merry Christmas everyone.

 

[mickeywho?]

Have any of you received your cabin# yet? Ours is still marked guaranteed - I thought it would have been arranged by now.

27 more sleeps!!!

Hi all! We are going on this cruise too. It will be me, DH, DS (11) and DS (3).

mickeywho? - we are in the same position, still marked guarantee on our stateroom, just waiting to see where we are but any room is better than not being on the ship. I have a DS (11) too, would your son be interested in emailing or PM with mine before the cruise? My DS loves to "know" someone before we sail.

Everyone have a great night! Cheryl

I wish I could but this cruise is a SURPRISE for my kids! They know we are going to Disney (we're staying for a week after the cruise with some friends at the Beach Club) but they have no idea we will be there a few days before to head off on a cruise! Maybe we could meet up at port or when we first board and they could get to know each other then. He's a pretty easy going kid and always up for new friends.

Still no cabin # assigned to us...the suspense is killing me!

 

[Stewy]

Nicole, thanks for the offer but I know I would completely screw up and not have my stuff ready or forget it and leave it at home. I am a mess about stuff like that.

Mickeywho? - might work. Our cruise was going to be a surprise too but we kept screwing up and mentioning only spending 5 days at Disney and we decided to just tell them as a Christmas present. My DS is pretty easy going so they should be ok meeting on the ship or before boarding.

The suspense is killing me about our room too, just checked and nothing yet. My DH thought he was being funny earlier and told me DCL called and said they did not have room for us. I told him that would be ok with me as long as they put me on a 7 day in a balcony instead.

 

[Lorajo]

Still waiting on room assignment....anybody get there guarantee assignments yet? I have been checking like crazy since the 30 day mark.

We booked a cat 12 guarantee.

 

[mickeywho?]

Just got our room #!!! It's on the Disney site so I'm hoping that means it's final. Yippee!

 

[Lorajo]

We're still waiting....

 

[niciggy]

Hi Everyone! I just want to make sure that everyone knows that ALL are invited for the FE exchange on this cruise. I think we have about 10 families right now, doing a family to family exchange. If YOU would like to join in, please PM me or respond to this post so I can get your info. I don't want to miss anyone or have anyone feel left out.

I'll be making a FINAL, FINAL, FINAL announcement the 2nd week of January.

It's getting close kiddies!!!!

Thanks so much! Nicole

 

[bouge]

I can't wait! We just booked a few days ago. We couldn't pass up the great deal. It will be me, my DH, my DS9, myDD7, and my other DD7. This is our second cruise. We went in 2008 from Jan 31-Feb 3. It was BEAUTIFUL weather. I hope that we get lucky again! The FE sounds like great fun. If I would have logged on to this thread earlier, I'd be interested, but I am back to work on Monday and everything will be extremely busy until the day we leave. Thanks for organizing it though.

Yes we would like to participate. What do we need to do? I think my wife is making our Fish Extender.

It is getting close. We are very excited.

 

[TifffanyD]

We are sailing on this cruise too! This is our first cruise only and will be our honeymoon! We have no idea what to do - we got passports and have all the paperwork out. We will be driving to the port and parking there but not really sure what to expect for that yet. Like where and when we pay (when we drop off? Pick up? Is it cash only or will credit card do?)

We will be staying at the BWV at WDW for 4 days before. Less than 2 weeks - can't wait!!

 

[niciggy]

Hello All!

I am so excited to be embarking on my 16th voyage on DCL and my 15th on the Disney Wonder with such an amazing group!

I wanted to remind everyone of some exciting things that happen just for the ADULTS!!

First Night of the Cruise - MATCH YOUR MATE!
This is an amazing event not to be missed. For those who have not seen it, it's DCL's version of the Newlywed Game. Except in DCL's version, the as for a newlywed couple, the longest married couple in room (ya know the ones that have been married so long it's now a life sentence ), and then someone in the room married in between. Trust this is a great show that pushes the Disney boundaries of pixie dust and you learn alot about your fellow cruisers!!

Second Night of the Cruise - KRAZY KARAOKE!
After the party, put the kids in the clubs and head down to Wavebands for a KRAZY time. Everyone that gets up and sings usually gets a shot (it's how it has been in the past). Some come on down and get your drink on and if you are so inclined, your sing on. =)~

Of course, after both events there is a dance party and normally the dancers from the WD Theater make a guest appearance.

And no, I don't work for DCL! I just love the cruises and have spoken with so many people who I have told about 'the night before' on the ship and said they didn't know about it. It is such an amazing time for all and the more people that come, the better. So, let's turn Wavebands into the DIS Lounge!!

Bring yourself, Bring a friend, knock on random cabins and bring them too! =)

Oh yeah, and another plus to going... the HOSTESS with the MOSTESS... the one and only Miss Tisa is a hoot!!! And of course, the one and only, direct from NYC, DJ Frankie!

So as Mickey Mouse would say.... 'See ya REAL soon!'

Kevin


PS: Be sure to check out the Navigator in case they have to change the time/location/or something else. =)~~

Standard disclaimer...... NOTHING in this post is guaranteed! LOL

Have we decided on a place and time to meet the first day? I'd love for my daughters to meet some dis kids and I'd love to put some faces with names.

I can't believe how close it is!! We leave on the autotrain on the 16th, so just 9 more days for us (counting today) !

Autotrain sound interesting. Its the Amtrak one right?

We are up for meeting everyone.

 

[binks]

We did the autotrain once before and really liked it. The train leaves at 4:00pm and you get to have snacks, eat a sit down dinner, watch a movie, get some sleep and 9:30am the train pulls into Sanford. And you have your car!
