[CareBlair]

We are really looking forward to this cruise with funny man Tim Hawkins! See you onboard!

Hey there! I will also be on this cruise with my dd (8), my mom, and hopefully my BFF and her daughter!

I can't wait! I know it's still months and months away but

Hi! We are excited for our first cruise! We had to move the date around a lot due to originally being scheduled this fall when Wonder will be in drydock. We have 2 rooms booked - boys in one and girls (including my mom) in another. Who is Tim Hawkins??

 

[CareBlair]

He's an incredibly talented and funny man. You can watch some of his stand-up and song parodies on GodTube or on his website: www.timhawkins.net/video.php.

 

[tink_lover]

Thanks! I have been so busy planning our Sept trip that I haven't done much for this one (yet Is he doing entertainment on the cruise?

 

[CareBlair]

Yes, there are three exclusive performances and one meet & mingle party with Tim Hawkins included in the fare. But from what I understand from the link on his website, you only get Tim Hawkins when you book through that specific agency. Not sure how that works, but since he is the big draw for us, that's how we'll sail!

The stateroom was a good deal (priced lower than booking directly with Disney) and we are able to get the 0% financing using the Disney Visa card. But we were not able to take advantage of the reduced deposit promotion and we are still waiting to hear if we qualify for the $50 onboard credit.

C'est la vie!

Hey - hope everybody is well. Did you see the new promo with kids free? I just saved over $750 today by applying that code to one of our rooms Good luck!

 

[mommykds]

Hi all!!!

The kids sail free promo saved us $700!!!

This will be our 2nd Wonder cruise & we are looking forward to it. Hope to go to Palo & do the stingray excursion. We have 2 cat 10's booked for our family of 5. We did this last time & it was great having 2 rooms (& 2 bathrooms!)

Hi everyone.. two well seasoned DIsney cruising moms and their teenage daughters, couldn't pass up a 15 and 16 year old sailing for free! We have sailed over 5 times each, all DIsney so if you have any questions, let us kinow. I started with the Wonder and switched to the Magic 7 years ago... but this is too good to pass up!!!

 

[LadyRob]

Hello everyone!!!! I couldn't pass up the kids sail free promo so I booked yesterday. This will be our third cruise and I am just as excited as if it was our first. I look forward to chatting with all of you over the next 6 months.

Is anyone interested in a FE exchange? My girls loved checking the FE everyday for goodies.

We just signed up for this cruise.. This will be our first! I am so excited. It will be DH, myself, DS 8 and DS 6. I really hope they enjoy the kids clubs. How crowded do they get? Has anyone cruised this time of year before? How's the water?

DD4 loves the kids club! Her favorite part was the surprise visits from the characters. We sailed on what seemed to be a full ship last month and her club was never crowded. The older kids were right across the hall and I don't remember it being overly crowded either.

We did a spring break cruise a couple of years ago and the water was nice. This is my favorite time of year to cruise . . . sort of a nice way to say goodbye to winter and kick off the spring.

I agree. We were orginally going to go for one of the Feb dates but I just thought it was too early and chances of it being too cold.

I surprised there are not more people in here seeing this cruise is starting to fill up. Well at least it appears that way since the discounts are no longer for Cat 6 and below.

I had read of people doing this but could you explain more? Which hotels allow you to use Atlantis for the day? Sounds like a good idea. Thank you.

 

[lovegrumpy]

How much does Atlantis cost by Disney?

 

[LadyRob]

I'm interested in an Atlantis day as well. From what I understand, the Disney excursion is $50+ for an adult with no access to the waterpark. You must have a room at Atlantis or the Comfort Suites in order to access the waterpark or private beach.

mickeyworld, please correct me if I'm wrong.
