March 13th 2011 Fiesta time on the Wonder!

[Euphscott]

I am paid in full!!

Now I just have to wait for Sunday to get here to start making reservations.

I think all of our excursions will be non-Disney - but Palo and Brunch are on the radar.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Really? Sunday for you? I think mine is Dec. 13! I checked today and I still don't have a room assignment!

Just got back from a great trip to DW!!

 

[Dicecatt]

Mine is Sunday too! I will actually be just landing in Fort Lauderdale though so my excursion/Palo fun may have to start later...I'm going to test it on my phone to see if I can do it on that.

Anyone see Captain Mickey in the Macy's Parade?!

Hey everyone...

For those of you wanting to stay at DLR before or after the cruise a deal just came out ( not yet posted). 30-35% off rooms. This is not a PIN, it just showed up when I made my reservation.

Winter/spring offer
Prices for our weeks in March:

Grand Cal. $289.oo a night ($338.13 with tax)
DLH $262.oo a night (plus tax)
Paridise Pier $218.00 a night (plus tax)

Hope that helps someone out!
We booked 2 nights after the cruise at the Grand Cal....we did have HOJO's but I couldn't resist!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We've made a heartbreaking decision to cancel our cruise. I wish you all a wonderful trip!

I did!!! And Buzz! Technically, I TIVO'd the parade because I was running a 10k when the parade aired here in Phoenix. I watched the parade this AM!!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

 

[melsherard]

Sorry to not be sailing with our other Overland Park family (MACfamily4)... I hope you guys still have a great spring break!!

I did and it made me even more homesick for the cruise.

I do have a feeling that a lot of people will be dropping out of this cruise when it is time to PIF. We will not be.....PIF, airline tickets purchased...now waiting to book excursions on Dec. 13. I think we are only booking one throught DCL in CABO. I am pretty sure we are going to to the Stone Island tour that so many here have talked about, great price!

I looked at the DCL website today, no room for me yet. I figured I wouldn't get one until after the PIF date. I booked an 11 and I will be happy with an 11.

So, is everyone ready for Christmas? I did a lot of shopping on Black Friday! It was crazy out there! Hope everyone had a safe holiday!

Hope

Tinkerbell is on the top of the tree, we're ready for Christmas

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. I ended up with food poisoning this past few days and feel better today. YUCK. I am pretty sure I ate some bad eggs. So, I braved the crowds at 2am and saved 360.00 on black friday. What can I say, I was a sucker for the Toys R Us deals. Anyhow, so I did some homework and it looks like we will be adjusting our ATV tour. We were going to do the one in Cabo, BUT I am WAAAAAY to nervous about it being a 3 hour tour starting at 9am and having to be back on board by 3:00! IMO that is cutting it way to close. All I can think is, "what if there is traffic or car problems on the way back. Its 25 miles away from the marina." So we were looking, and I think we will be doing the ATV tour in Puerto Vallarta where there is plenty of time for boarding at 10pm. Besides, that one goes through the jungle. Lots more scenery to view. I see enough desert living in AZ. Here is the link if anyone else in interested.

And we will be sticking with the Mazatlan Stone Island Tour

DH and I have been "crafting" together our adult FE gifts. They are coming along nicely. Hint: They are gifts to be used year round. I just hope everyone likes them.

103 days and counting!

Just got High Tea at Palo for the first time! So excited. I will add brunch and dinner once onboard, but I have not had a chance to do high tea and it is the hardest to get. Of course, my travel partners are not paiid in full so I may be eating by myself, lol. I figure I will have a table for one so I should at least be able to eat with someone. I am hoping for brunch on the second sea day, I plan on leaving the final day as a day just to wander the ship with no commitments. Unless a great spa special comes out.

Just so you are aware...
The port departure times have changed.
PV has changed to 6pm now. It use to 7pm, not 10pm.
Mazatlan is 4pm.
Cabo is 3:30.

These are all subject to change again, but just thought you should know.

Definately want to try High tea. Have not done that yet...
Are we allowed to book all three? Thought it was only two...oh well.

Going to trying on the 13th!

 

[Euphscott]

Got our brunch and dinner for Palo! Brunch in my opinion is the one not to miss...I still have pleasant dreams of that wonderful set up. I cannot wait to partake again...

We will go under 100 days till cruising this week - somehow that psychological barrier is a nice hurdle to hop.

 

[yukongirl123]

We've never had a problem getting Palo for dinner, but have yet to secure a spot for either brunch or high tea...maybe this time-will find out on the 13th!

I'm afraid I have a bit of sad news. We are going to have to cancel this cruise. I really hate this. As I was telling Denise this afternoon, we have never outright canceled a cruise before, we have always re-booked a different date. It is not to be this time. Our decision is somewhat financial, but other factors weighed into the decision also. I was just hoping we could get it worked out before December 28th. We still have one booked for October so hopefully we will be able to make that one. I am trying to get "the list" in order so someone can take it over with out a lot of trouble. Is there anyone interested in taking over the list? I will send you everything you need. Hope you all don't mind if I hang around the board. I hope you all have a great trip and I can't wait to hear about it!!

It will all work out okay. Let us know how we can help with the fish extender list.
