March 13th 2011 Fiesta time on the Wonder!

[mindy327]

We officially have an FE Gift exchange underway! So far, the following 9 families are participating:

Melsherard
Goofytracy
Jump4joy
Stfnslky
Aliron682
Mindy327
Millissa
Williamson_ja
Krazy4cruising


If anyone else would like to participate, just reply to this post or send me a pm, I will update the list periodically. You don't have to have kids to participate, and the rule is, give as you want. In other words, if you'd like to give one gift per cabin, or gift to children only, or gift to adults only, or gift to each person individually, then thats what you do. We will in the future need # of adults, # of Children and ages as well as cabin numbers.

As we each find out our cabin number as our cruise approaches, post or pm that info along with the deck number and prior to our travel time, I will get a list to each of you.

List has been updated.

We are sooo excited to get to know everyone.

Count us in! We were booked on the Dream, but the KSF was too good to pass up. We're so excited to do a seven day cruise!! Our family includes me, DH, DD 14, and DS 12 at time of sailing. We would love to participate in the FE-stivities!

 

[BigRed1]

I'm really excited to cruise. I am disappointed Disney doesn't have their excursions on the site yet. I've been reading Cruise Critic and really want to zip line in Puerto Vallarta.

Is anyone going to Disneyland before the cruise?

I understand bc I feel the same way. I like to plan and look at the excursions and wish I knew what I got us into if you know what I mean.

 

[BigRed1]

......Is anyone going to Disneyland before the cruise?

Can't go before but will likely go for a couple of days after the cruise. Anyone going after??

 

[BigRed1]

BTW, I never properly introduced us. It will just be the two of us, myself, Allen, and my DW, Mary Margaret. She is a teacher in the local special school district, and I am an industrial facilities supervisor. We are twisting some friends arms to get them to switch to this cruise with us. Look forward to meeting everyone!!
Is anyone keeping a cruise list or an FE list??

With the great offer of Kids Sail Free, we couldn't resist! We've just booked this cruise! We are a family of 4 - myself, Shannon, DH - Robert, DS - Ethan (14) & DD - AbbyGrace (7). Can't wait to start planning!

Hey everyone! We are on this cruise as well. I am so excited. We were not even looking into going on a cruise so soon. We were on the Magic on Oct. 10 St. Croix trip as well as many of you on here. Unfortunately, we never made it to any of the meets. We were traveling with my sister and her kids along with my mom. They were not into meeting others as much. That was our kids first cruise and mine and DH's first Disney cruise. We loved it!

For this cruise it will be myself, DH (Carey), Hannah (just turned 13 at the time of travel) and Dalton (9). I would love for Hannah to get to know some other kids her age before the cruise especially since the Wonder does not seem to have as good of a set up like Ocean Quest for this age group. Last time she had her cousins which are her same age.

We are also interested in doing some zip lining and maybe a dolphin swim somewhere if at all possible. I have been looking at cruise critic a lot as well. I am excited about these ports and having more adventurous activities for the kids. The Eastern Caribbean did not have much to offer especially due to Dalton's age. The port days were the kids least favorite. They loved the ship and all the activities.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone over the next several months!

Allen,

You DID decide to switch to this one huh? Yeah!!!!

Meredith,

Welcome! Another St. Croix cruiser ex!

Is everyone as excited as I am that we have friends now? We have been booked for months for this cruise and we had a few people on here that were booked as well... Just in the past week it has filled up fast.

 

[hopelea]

I can't believe how fast this cruise filled up. I feel lucky to have gotten the room that we did!! We got the last GTY cat 11~. I love having GTY rooms. I like not knowing until closer!!

I will check this thread as often as I can, but since we aren't telling our dd's until Christmas....

My DH was on a business trip when I booked this trip. He had no idea until he called last night. I told him that he should not leave me home unsupervised!!

Have a great day!!!

So, apparently all the kids sail free rooms have been sold out for this cruise already. Can you believe it? 9 months away and sold out. Incredible.
Anyway, I'm hoping we can get a cruise meets thread set up for the kids/teens going on this cruise so that they can get to know each other before we go. Anyone ready to set something like that up yet? I heard that there were quite a few teens going from the boards here. It would be great for my kids to know some of them.

I just chatted with Allen BIGRED1, and he seems to be the savy one on how to set all of that up. Allen help! How old are your kids? My Daughter Cecily who is 8, is begging me to find her a pre-friend/pen pal for the cruise.

So excited about the kids sail free!!! I just called my TA and got my price reduced by over $1000!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!

When we sailed for spring break this year, I set up a facebook group ahead of time and a lot of the teens got to know each other through that group. My DS is so psyched that a few of the teens that sailed this year are going to be on the same cruise in 2011!

I think it may be easier for the teens to connect on facebook since there are restrictions here about age (I know my 13 year old isn't allowed to have an account here!)

ANYWAY! I'll set up a facebook group for this sailing. It will be called the same thing as this thread. If you or your children are on facebook, search for the group and we can connect!
