Mar. 19, 2009 Wonder: Aye, But We're Loved by Our Mummies and Dads

I was wondering the same, maybe the port? Or CC? What does everyone else think?

 

[ksoehrlein]

Welcome, Winnefeldfam! My 8yo DD and 5yo DS are excited to meet yours!

I was wondering about a meet as well. I just read about the CC treasure hunt and thought that might be fun. Or maybe we could gather before the Sail Away party. When and where have other DISers met up?

No cruise docs for me yet. I'll be racing to the mailbox daily now!

Hey everyone! This is my first post and I'm still trying to figure this site out. I am khiguchi sister and I am so excited for the cruise! My sister and I have been talking about all kinds of things to do that we have to do before the cruise. This is definately going to be one of the best Spring Breaks ever!

 

[Aliswa]

Welcome Winnefeldfam family!

We have not gotten our cruise docs yet either! Someone mentioned a treasure hunt on CC? Where did you get info on that?

Thanks for the welcoming everyone! My name is Carol, my husband, Mike and my DD8, Lauren and DS5, Cole. We still haven't received our cruise docs either. We are really looking forward to the cruise though! We have resies for Palo on the last night at 9 (it was all I could get). I'm not sure if we should go or not. I don't want to miss any of the other restaurants except for Parrot Cay. We are also doing the stingray feeding at CC first thing in the morning. I really hope the water isn't too cold! Does anyone know what movies will be playing at the theatre?

 

[PlanoJessie]

Welcome Jessie! I'm glad you've joined us!

I will try my best to answer some of your questions below.
Bear in mind, I've only done one DCL cruise and that was back in 2002, so I welcome anyone else to answer if I screwed up in any way!

Thanks a lot!! I am really looking forward to the trip now! Reading all the threads and tips, overwhelmed!!

 

[PlanoJessie]

Wow! I haven't been on here in a few days...Looks like I missed some exciting stuff.

Welcome to Khiguchi, Aliswa, Plano Jessie and any other newbies to our cruise meet!

I can't wait... We are going to have SO much fun!

Plano Jessie...my sister lives out your way. We are near Mansfield.

Aunt Stepody, what a small world!! If you happen to in town before the trip, we can meet up, but we definitely will have a lot of fun together on the ship!

 

[PlanoJessie]

We will be on land for 5 nights before the cruise, so if anyone wants to meet before then it will be wonderful. Otherwise, I say let's meet up before the sail away party! Because this is only a 3 night cruise, let's get the kids know each other so that they can play together at the day care or we can arrange activities for them together.

We haven't received the documents yet, either. And I haven't booked anything on the ship yet...But I am booking the stinray tonight. I saw they both have it on the 2 ports, which one is better? Anyone know? I am also conerned that the water will be cold so I am ordering wetsuit for both of my boys.

 

[PlanoJessie]

Ok, Here is my first attempt at posting a picture:
My daughter infront of the stateroom door:

Lee Ann, you had such a cool idea I had to steal it!!! I read you post and saw the pictures on Thursday night, guess what, I went to Home Depot on Friday at my lunch break and got a bunch of the Mickey ears!!! Can't wait to actually use them! Thanks again for sharing the wonderful idea!!

Welcome aboard.......where are you staying pre cruise?

Molly, we are staying at Port Orleans - FQ, arriving Staturday night. How about you?

 

[MollyMcDaniel]

Wilderness Lodge...we are arriving Saturday at noon. A lot of us are arriving Saturday. Meeting at MK for fireworks or something like might work out. We get the hopper on our passes, but it could be a problem for those that don't. Also, we have our ADR's planned, but I'm flexible...it's vacation!

Hey Jessie I am PurdyBertnie's mom she said we had fellow cruisers at our hotel we actually do not arrive until Sunday, I tried to get Saturday too but since we booked the 4 day/3 day package it was not to be. Exciting to know we will all be riding the bus together. I don't know about you but we are READY to go (well not ready but wish we could go now) going to pack as much into the 4 days (although we have a ticket for the morning of as well) as we can. Going to do some old favorites (Expedition Everest, Space Mountain) stuff like that but hoping to see a few new things this time too. Nemo the musical at AK - we tried to get into this last year but the lines were unbelieveable. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Hope everyone has safe travel to our destinations.

 

[Aunt Stepody]

I wanted to let you know that we received our cruise documents today!! You guys are really the only other people who get my excitement so I thought I'd let you know!! Has anyone else gotten theirs? Also, when is everyone going to Palo?

We still have not received our documents. It's nice to actually look forward to checking the mail (not just bills.) Yes, we are going to Palo on Friday 6-8pm. Sorry, Chrisann, wish we were going the same night!

 

[Aunt Stepody]

Yeah! The documents just arrived on my front porch!

 

[Aliswa]

Mine was found under a chair of the front porch today too! Woohoo!

 

[auntyaba]

I expect to get a call any day now from TA saying ours have arrived. My flight info has been online now for about a week so I figured they were coming soon.

 

[khiguchi]

Hooray! I received my cruise documents yesterday
