June 4, 2010 Wonder 4 Night

[wigdoutdismom]

It's almost time. I'm not sure who is more excited me or the kids. This will be our first cruise. Can someone help me with the dinner dress code. Disney CS tells me one thing and then I read something totally different. My dad and brother are joining us and they are not dress slacks people They are more jeans and a polo person. I don't want to eat every night in the buffet line so I am hoping that jeans are really okay. This will be a bitter sweet vacation for us because my mom was suppose to be coming along but she passed away last December. So my kids and I are trying to find something special to do in her honor. She had all kinds of door decorations ready for us but I can't find them anywhere

This is our first Disney cruise.
When we cruised another cruise line we did "dress" for dinner. So with that said. I just checked my passporter's DCL. Dress-up night for a 4 night cruise is the second night. So it says they encourage a jacket and tie for men. My dh isn't taking either.
He is taking polo shirts and khaki pants.
I'm taking skirts and capri slacks.
I'm not sure I'd go to Palo in jeans...
Hope this helps.
Sorry about your mom.

I have gotten a lot of feedback from prior cruisers and they say that it is okay to wear jeans to dinner. We do not have reservations to Palo so I'm good there. Already looking forward to our cruise in December 2011. That will be a great birthday gift for my DD Brianna who will turn 10 the day before we sail. I wiss I could find my moms decorations that she made for our doors. But we will have them for our next cruise. I hope to meet some of you guys that are going next week but it's a big boat and not even sure where to meet up at. I booked a catamaran sail & reef snorkeling for our day in the Bahamas and then we are parasailing at CC. Anybody else going on these same excursions?

Hey Steph, will you be at Disney before we sail? Maybe we could say hi there if you are going to be, if not, we are thinking about a meet on pirate night. I just don't know enough about the cruise to really set much up.
If anyone knows of a good place to meet please chime in here!
We could sure use some help...

It's going to be me and my dh and ds11 on the cruise.

It's easy to get a look at us if you head over to my last trip report and look at our last trip, there are plenty of pictures to identify us by. They were just taken in March, it was just the two of us though, couples only trip!

We are flying down on Thursday and are staying somewhere in Cocoa Beach. We plan to go to MK on Tuesday when we get off the ship. And then we fly home on Wednesday. So not much time to really enjoy all of the parks. I wish we could stay longer but when we first booked our cruise we really didn't think about it. But we will have fun for the 1 day we are at MK.

sdhines, your excursions sound like fun!

We aren't doing any excursions in Nassau. We (my, DH, and DS6) will be going over to Ardastra Gardens on our own...just going to grab a Taxi, I guess.

At CC we're doing the Stingrays.

This is our first cruise so we didn't want to get too "excursion heavy."

wigdoutdismom, we don't really know anything about the cruises either other than what I've seen on TV! I still get a sick feeling in my stomach when I think about being on the ship and not knowing where anything is located!!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

We are doing the stingrays at CC too!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

We are planning on meeting up with mimmiepnp since we are both staying at the Beach Club...

Skuttle, would you like to try to say hi as well?

Maybe we could come up with a game plan for the ship meet...

 

[skuttle]

What time are y'all doing the stingrays at CC? We're doing it at 1pm.

Let me know when you are meeting with mimmiepnp and I'll see what we have planned for that day. We have a couple of meals planned, but other than that we don't have too much planned at WDW due to the heat and not knowing how long we'll be able to take it at a time!!

What great fun trying to meet up before the cruise.

Can't believe we leave in three days for the BCV and then the cruise will be here before we know it.

Packing is just about done!!!

Now I have to start getting all our pets ready for their "babysitter" and making sure they have everything they need

Soooo much to do and sooooo little time left but whose complaining; definately not me!!!.........
