I've been looking forward to DCL going to Alaska for a long time!:thumbsup2

Good morning everyone! So who here is a planner? I sure am. I get a lot of joy of researching and dreaming about our vacations. With Alaska being a brand new thing for us I'm really looking forward to learning about what there is to do and see at each of the ports.

me me me :wave2: i love to plan ahead but have plenty of time to research this one. already check out books from the library for each place. need to research more on flights but waiting till i can be closer to the time frame to book. will book our timeshare in jan or feb let the fun begin :thumbsup2
 
I love to plan! I went on a cruise to Alaska years ago, so I am trying to recall the best of each port. I am looking forward to finding out what excursions will be offered. Our fave from last time was a salmon bake in Ketchikan with gold panning . I was not brave enough for the glacier helicopter tour!
 
ok some questions to throw out here....

What is everyones most wanted port to see? What are you looking forward to the most for this trip?

Glad to see I'm not the only planner in the group! Where do you have a timeshare? I picked up the book "Alaska by Cruise Ship". I've only taken quick looks at.

I'd love to hear about your trip. What ship were you one and what ports did you go to? I'm really thinking I'd like to try the glacier helicopter tour. I've only done a helicopter tour once and that was many many years ago in Hawaii but I loved it!

I don't think I've picked a most wanted yet. I'm excited just to see the Wonder sail in brand new waters. Having never been to Vancouver or any of the Alaskan ports I'm looking forward to it all! What are you looking forward to?

sorry guess i could have answered my own question huh. :lmao: having never been on the west coast i think i am looking forward to the new experiences. the ports not sure yet. i am really wanting to see the natural wildlife mostly. so may be sitting my but outside alot or camcording alot.

our home timeshare is in Kissimmee, Florida about 5 minutes from WDW. Vacation village at Parkway. we don't use it as often as we would like but i wish there were resorts closer to us. seems like we would have to travel 5 hrs min to get to any one resort. and most areas we have wanted to go there is no resorts in those areas. go figure.

I have numerous books but havent had a chance to start reading yet. jsut looked at the pretty pictures. :laughing: I am traing to be a girl scout leader right now so i have to make that priority first.
 
We can't wait to see what kind of excursions Disney will be offering. This will be our first time to Alaska so we will want to see EVERYTHING!!!!!

us too for both..my TA said she would be giving me a list of information for excursions by the independent companies as well when she gets them so if we want to book on our own we can. can't wait. i am pretty much at a stand still myself for planning anything more till we can price airline and book that kind of stuff. dh is wishy washy about where we will fly into. the saver in me says fly into seattle or bellingham but the make it easy side of me says just fly into vancouver and call it quits. :headache: i am hoping to research the ports for now and see what there is to see and maybe get a list of things we can do that my dd will be able to enjoy as well.

We are thinking about flying into Seattle on Saturday or Sunday then taking the train into Vancouver on Monday. We have never been to Seattle and I have never been on a train. Thankfully we have 641 days to figure it out!

that was our original thought but then we remembered we had the timeshares banked and could use those so decided we could leave as early as possible to stay as much of the week we could before the cruise.

I notice you are from columbus we are just a couple hrs north of you.
