Is anyone else booked for this cruise?

My husband and myself just booked this cruise so we'll be joining you.

My husband, myself, my adult daughter, son in law and 7 yr old granddaughter are booked for the July 8th Wonder. Anyone with similar aged girls booked?

 

[Trishde]

I haven't been on the boards in a long time. We booked this cruise on our July 9th 2006 cruise, so this will be our 2nd Wonderful Cruise. We are all very excited! Had such a great time last year.
I will be joined by my DH & 2 youngest DS (11 & 6).
Can't wait!!

Anyone else joining us? Only 9 weeks away!!
DH and I can't wait!

Can I pack yet?

 

[mathgeek]

I'm already making my list of what I'm planning on packing and already have excursions, spa treatments, and Palo reservations booked. Looking forward to a few relaxing days in the Bahamas!

Less than 5 weeks to go. My husband and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary on this cruise. Our 10 year old daughter will be joining us as well as our oldest daughter and her family. My sister and her friend will also be sailing. I'm looking forward to being with my family and especially my wonderful husband!!

 

[belle26]

Karenluke, congratulations on your 25th! It's getting closer, is it time to pack yet?

 

[Karenluke]

Thanks for the good wishes belle26. I've already started gathering things together, so yes it's time to start packing! Hope you have a great cruise!!

Guess I'd better get a move on the packing, just started my "piles" of clothes for each of us. Did a huge Old Navy shop for the kids today. I got a couple of cute things drom the disney store. Got 2 skirts & tops to go with them. Would like to find a new dress, I'll have to try to sneak out without the kids.
We leave on the 5th and are staying at the Boardwalk. Getting very excited!! Wonder if anyone knows that since the new Harry Potter movie is going to open on the 11th, does anyone think they may play it onboard? I was hoping for the book to come out earlier so I could read it while on the cruise but I'll re-read Order of the Phoenix. I can't wait to relax by the pool!! Also looking forward to Bingo!!

I've got some things ready to go too but also have a list a mile long of things to get done before we leave for the cruise.

Trishde, you'll have a great time at the BW - we love it there! We'll be at SSR for 6 nights following the cruise. And I'm guessing we won't get to see the HP movie on the cruise - I'm betting on Pirates 3 and Ratatouille. Can't wait to see it when we get home and read Deathly Hallows on 7/21.

Boardwalk is my favorite, guess I have been spoiled by DVC. We have stayed at Old Key West, Wilderness and Beach Club Villas with DVC. Beach club is definitely close 2nd. With the access they have to epcot & mgm. we have also stayed at caribbean beach, all star, port orleans & dixie landings (when they were on their own). when I was a kid I stayed at the only days inn close enough to disney, when there was the contemporary, polynesean and the fort wilderness campgrounds. that was back when they had river country and discovery island. I have been going to disney since february 1972, 4 months after they opened. how crazy is that. Didn't stay in a "disney" resort until 20 years later in 1992.

We love BWV too and have also been spoiled by DVC. We have only stayed at BWV and SSR, but we're going to try to get in to BCV on one of our next trips (I've heard so much about Stormalong Bay I can't wait to try it!). And non-DVC we've stayed at All-Star Sports and Movies and the Swan. When I was a kid we stayed at the Buena Vista Palace by DTD and Poly (also back before all of the "new" resorts!). Poly still holds a special place in my heart, but now that we own DVC I doubt we'll stay there.

2 more weeks to go!!!

 

[mathgeek]

Got our cruise docs and luggage tags yesterday. That makes it feel like it's time to get ready to go! Can't wait!

 

[belle26]

We got our docs also, so now it seems like the date will actually get here. School's finally out, and I'm in serious vacation mode now. Time to get serious about what we will be packing - only 11 days to get it all done!

 

[belle26]

Ok, only five more days; get those pirate outfits ready and pack those bags, it's almost time!

 

[mathgeek]

Got my pillowcase and Sharpies together for signatures and a pile of stuff ready to be packed. Can't believe it's almost time!

We're actually doing Palo on pirate night, but we're still planning on getting our bandannas and going to the party.

I cant wait!
