Bumping it up .....to attract more folks!~

Hey! My family and I are sailing on this cruise and I can't wait to get back on!

 

[Hurriacane Surviors]

Is there a talent show? I cant wait to go fishing in the Abacos! When we board we are going to eat lunch in Parrot.

 

[Bacon Bits]

Hey Hurriacane, not sure about the Talent Show, haven't heard about one. Hey SKMinnie, would you know? Has anyone received their packets yet?

 

[SKMinnie48]

Hey! I am almost certain there wasn't a talent show on the Wonder in March, but there was one of the 7 night Magic we went on in 2002 and I participated in it. I am thinking it may only be on the week cruises! If you have any other questions just ask!

No packets received by our family. Now that school is finally out we are all getting sooo excited about the trip. This is my family's first time on a cruise and my DD & DS are quite excited about the whole trip.

We are starting out in WDW for 3 nights first and then on to the cruise. Is anyone else doing the land and sea trip? We are staying at the Polynesian. I have only eaten there before, never stayed there. Has anyone of you all ever stayed at the Poly before? Any tips or hints?

Once again, I am so glad to have found this thread and all of you. Looking forward to meeting you face to face.

 

[Hurriacane Surviors]

Ohanas is the place to eat at the POLY. Have fun at the parks. See you on the ship.

We're getting to Orlando a day early, but staying till the following weekend. Not planning on doing Disney this year, just hanging around Orlando and doing the pool at the Hotel (Embassy Suites) and local stuff. We had thought about doing the Discovery Cove, but it's a bit pricy for a one dayer. We're gonna get onbaord early and have the lunch buffet at the Parrots prior to sailing. Hope we can all meet up there.....

We are going to have lunch ay Parrots also. We only have a one and a half hour drive from south florida to the ship. We will be arriving at the port super early, 10:45 am, what can I say we are really excited! I will post what we will be wearing so we can be identified by everyone on the DIS BOARD.

 

[Bacon Bits]

Don't forget to get the "Pirate" stuff together for Pirates Nite!

I love getting to the port early! We will be arriving at around that time too because we will be daparting my aunt's house in Conconut Creek at around either 7:30am or 8am, (sorry i cannot remember, lol). We usually get there at around that time anyways but it just so happened that in March we left just after sunrise service at our church down in ft. lauderdale which ended at 7am and somehow managed to get to the port by at least 9:45 - 10am and were turned around once we got to the gate! So my mom and I left and were told to come back at around 10:30, and we ended up driving around the area for a while and even passing through what seemed like the middle of no where, hehe! But we ended up forgetting some of our make up and stamps(for postcards) so luckly we found a walgreenes that wasn't closed on Easter, lol! By the way we are hoping to swing by parrot's cay lunch to say hi to everyone from the disboards, it would be a pleasure to meet you all, but since my mom and I are traveling with 5 other family members who will be sailing for the first time on a disney cruise we'll be eating lunch with them and giving them the "tour" of the ship! P.S. we'll let you know what we are wearing so we'll be a able to be recognized as we come closer to setting sail! Can't wait to get back on the ship!

Is the buffet at Parrot's anything we have to make reservations for? Either before boarding or when we board? I am sure lots more questions to come from this cruising newbie!!

No, no reservations required. When you first board the ship you can either choose to eat a Parrot's Cay for Lunch or go up to deck 9 and eat at Beach Blanket Buffet! Also I am pretty sure most of the "quick food" places such as pinochio's Pizza and Pluto's dog house are open as well if you just want to hang out up on deck 9 by the pool! Hope this helped and if you have any more questions just ask!

 

[Hurriacane Surviors]

Is anyone else going? Am I the only one getting excited?

 

[Bacon Bits]

No you're not the only getting worked up about this cruise....my kids are drivng me NUTS! here!

We'll also be on the July 17 Wonder. My husband and I in one cabin and my daughter, son in law and 5 yr old grandaughter in another. This is my second Disney cruise, everyone elses first. We got our documents yesterday. We're staying at POFQ for two nights before. The kids are driving down from Charleston SC. We have Palo's booked for night 4 and have booked massages on the ship and CC Cabana.
