Hi Chris! yes, we have been a chatty bunch these last few weeks LOL! Mandy asked some great questions and its fun reading all the different answers! Looks like Ohana is pretty popular for dining. We love the food

My dd, Nicole, is graduating this week from Junior High and keeps saying she wishes we could be back on the Disney Magic...she has no idea that we have this cruise planned on the Wonder. I only told her that we are taking a trip to Florida to visit her grandparents

Hi Chris

It's great to meet you, I'm Mandy from the UK and we booked this Cruise last Monday, we'll be on Deck 2 Aft.

It's going to be a busy week for us this week, as my eldest DD (Kerry) is in the middle of her exams and on Friday night it is her Prom. We're all so excited for her, and I can't wait to see her with her hair done, her lovely dress (which we had shipped over from JC Penney) and her stretch limo. Kerry isn't very traditional, but she's had a try out for her hair and she looked fab. I promise to post some photos either Friday night or Saturday. She's planning on taking her dress for the dress-up night on the Cruise

I'll try and think of some more fun questions (or you can) to help us get to know each other

See ya

Mandy

Yes we are very excited. We didn't have Proms when I left school, they have come over from the US in the past 5 to 10 years and are now very popular

Steph, are you on our Cruise ? as it's Thursday to Sunday !! (not that I mind if it's extended to the following Wednesday). We're going on the last evening at 6.30pm

I love your photos, Riley looks fab, hubby and I are huge Star Wars fans, and we loved it when we went to a Star Wars Weekend at WDW. I'll try and dig a photo out for you

Have a great day everyone

LOL - when I first saw your reply I thought I'd joined the wrong Cruise thread

Talking of 'the Force', here's a couple of piccies from SWW

Mandy

 

[princessdaisy]

LOL! Sorry Mandy! didn't mean to give you a scare


Great Photos! My son would have loved to make SW weekends but didn't work out in our vacation plans...maybe, next year.

Hey Shipmates

Just a quick question will you be dressing up for Pirate Night ? I think we'll all have Pirate t-shirts on and lots of jewellery, but not proper outfits. On our last Cruise, there were loads of young boys dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow, and they looked great

I'm not sure if I'll be around much over the next few days, I'm in cleaning mode at the minute, getting ready for Kerry's Prom, and I've been cleaning like mad throughout the house (as the Limo is leaving from here)

Anyway, I hope you're all having a lovely day

Mandy

 

[favoriteslave]

Sorry I have been absent. Too much life, not enough time.

We are just going to wear Pirate shirts. We had friends that dressed up in full costumes last time, but I don't want to pack anything more than I ABSOLUTELY need.

There is my 2 cents.

We just got news last night that our flight times had been changed. I was really looking forward to getting up and having time to eat breakfast BEFORE getting the the airport. Well the sooner I leave the sooner I get there.

Have a great day.

What time do you think you'll get to the Port ? We always try to get there around 10am for opening, it's great to take lots of photos while it's quiet

Woohoo !! 6 Weeks Until Our Cruise !!

Hey Guys

It has been absolutely mad around here tonight, as it is Kerry's Prom Night

I haven't been around much this week as I have been up to my eyes in cleaning. I've never had so many people in my little house, but the wine, beer and alcopops have been a great hit with everyone

The kids started arriving around 4.30pm, there was hair, make-up and nails going on in different rooms and the Limo arrived around 5.45pm

I can't believe that she has left school and only has to go in for a couple of lessons and her exams

To tell the truth, I felt quite jealous, I could've got a fancy frock on and joined them, they looked like they were having a fab time

Mandy

 

[princessdaisy]

Oh, Mandy, she looks absolutely gorgeous!! I bet she had a wonderful time!! Prom night is so fun and memorable. The girls dresses are so lovely and the "dudes' look cool in their tuxes

Thanks for sharing the photos!! brings back lots of memories
