The people in our cabin is myself, my soon to be husband, and our DD 6. Currently our cabin is 2070, but really hoping to get upgraded. The coordinator has requested an upgrade.

My honey and I are getting married in about 2 weeks - on the Wonder!!

---------- Last time I went it was the first cruise in March 2006.


Met - Did you go in March 2006 or March 2007? I was on the March 5-9, 2006 Wonder cruise. Is this a 'reunion' now?

Am I the only one who hasn't gotten an upgrade? So sad...I really want an oceanview but it's not worth the extra $500 at this point!

Yeah, I'm feeling a little left out by the upgrade fairy too! We can console each other later!

Hey Everyone! I've just gotten caught up from page 2 - it's been awhile since I've logged on. Glad to see we'll be sailing with so many fellow DIS'ers.

Sea lice? OMG! Where do I get the Seasafe lotion? Can I buy it locally or is it something that needs to be ordered?

We got our cabin assignment - 5635. Now I'm stalking the mailman waiting for those cruise documents to arrive.

Did anyone set a time or date for a meet onboard?

We're flying in a day early since I don't trust the weather. We'll be staying at Port Orleans Riverside and taking the Disney Cruise bus to the port. After the cruise we've got 5 more days at POR.

Can't wait to meet you all!

Ricky's Girl,

We are just two doors down in 5639. I don't have many magnets made, but I do have a few. There shouldn't be much traffic on our end of the ship, so you might be one of the few to actually see my door magnets!

I got a package today in the mail and I got so excited! Then I realized it was just a DVD that I ordered last week. I am sooo ready to get my cruise documents. It just gets me one step closer to getting on that ship!

Sorry about that. It was March 2007....right after I broke my ankle/had surgery. Fun. The staff of the Wonder did a wonderful (haha) job trying to help us out. Being in a wheelchair half the time was no fun. That's one BIG ship!

Nassau was not very handicap accessible. Got the chance to use the sand wheelchairs at Castaway Cay. Yeah. I completely forgot that I wouldn't be able to walk on sand easily. Hmmm. Should be an even better experience now that I can walk. lol

 

[Met]

Just so I can send PMs.

Am I the first to get my travel docs? After catching up with all the posts I thought I better check my front door (I always enter through the garage) and guess what I found waiting for me? A little package from DCL.!!!!! This makes it one step closer. This is my 4th Disney cruise and my DH's 1st. The travel docs seem smaller then the 1st few times but it will still get me on the boat! Oh by the way Cloud9 I think our cabins are next to each other. Hubby and I are in cabin 2068. DH is TDY unil a week before we leave so his time is going fast (mine is going backwards). We will arrive at Port on Sunday and after the cruise we will spend a week at the World. Can't wait to meet everyone.

We are in the Teens people!!We have 19 days left!!!!! Ummm...so yes, somoeone asked about the Sealice again? You have to order the lotion online, I haven't seen it in stores, mine should be arriving today! So, did anyone hear that you can bring a rolling cooler with drinks in it onboard? I think you just can't bring ice in it right? Any size restrictions on it? I am freaking out, is this real?Am I really going on a DISNEY CRUISE!!!!

 

[ShawnaH]

Flick got their documents? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! We are that much closer

OMG!!!! 19 days! We leave a day earlier too. This is too much excitement for me, I just can't take it

After reading the last two pages of posts, I feel I need to get with the program and spend more time packing and making lists and checking my mail! Ha! No time to think about all these things--too much work to do before we can leave--too many basketball games to attend for my kids so I'm never home!

The net has been my friend, however, in that I have clicked and ordered my SeaSafe or SafeSea or whatever it is. Also picked up some new sandals for myself and bathing suits for my kids online. It's definitely "off season" in MN as far as beach attire is concerned. My son's shorts from last summer are wayyyy too small so we will need a shopping trip in the next couple of weeks (we are 1.5 hours away from any great shopping mall).

All four of us are looking forward to vacation but haven't been able to all sit down in one place together and talk about excursions--can't decide whether we should do Atlantis waterpark at Nassau again (would book through the hotel next door and get the wristbands--much more afordable) or do a glass bottom boat at either Nassau or Castaway Cay? My daughter wants to parasail but hasn't been able to talk her dad into that yet. We will definitely snorkel at CC because that was a highlight last year for all of us!! My son and I couldn't make friends with our flippers, so we took them off and stayed closer to shore but still saw beautiful fish. My brave daughter and husband ventured way out and saw awesome sights underwater!

We've been talking about what we want to do this year that we didn't do last year and have come up with a few things we want to do or try. Dining at Palo was on that list, but of course no reservations are available. Guess we have to plan ahead more than three weeks in order to grab those! )

I think I need to go luggage shopping too! We fly to Orlando in 17 days so it's time to get moving! Have a great day, everyone!!

That's so cool! I was afraid I'd be way off away from my fellow DISer's! I'll certainly stop and check out your magnets. So far we have just made some Mouse Ears for our door - gotta get dh moving on some other magnets!

I ordered my SafeSea! Although the sealice thing is really freaking me out!

Okay - to continue the game. Can I play? Last night we bought a disposable underwater camera for snorkling on CC. Also bought some sunscreen but will probably replace it with the SeaSafe stuff since I orderd the one with sunscreen in it. Haven't started packing yet but I'm working on my packing list.

I'm still searching for a nice sundress to wear to dinner on dress-up night.

Mail hasn't come yet today but I'm hoping when it does I have a magical surprise!!!

 

[ShawnaH]

My mailman came and went today with no magical surprise for me Oh well, theres always tommorow!!!

 

[PoppyGirl]

Wow! You all have been busy on here today. I've been out running around all day and just checked the board.

I got my hair cut...does that count for the game?

 

[Met]

Yea!!!!!! One step closer. UPS brought them today!

 

[Ricky's Girl]

Can you guess what I received today?
