March 13th 2011 Fiesta time on the Wonder!

[abdmom]

Hey everyone! Count us in. I just put the deposit down on this cruise. Couldn't resist the kids sail free offer. I have the flights booked too. It will be me, abdmom, ds15, dd12 and ds5 on this cruise. We were just on the Magic in the Med on 5/15 and loooved it. The FE exchange really added to it, especially for ds5 and dd.

ABDMOM.......you have the flights booked already???? WOW...didn't know they went that far. I would love to book mine. Who are you flying with?
I will probably try Southwest first and they are only booking through November right now!!

I really hope some people let their holds go off their rooms tomorrow. I am trying to find a room for my parents!! They want a CAT 10, 11 or 12.

The problem I am having is that we usually drive to PC to get on the Magic. Well, driving I can take as much as I want. Flying I won't be able too!! I will need major packing tips!!

My flights are through Delta. The non-redeye flights were quite expensive, but since I'm paying with miles, it didn't really matter. If I were paying cash, and not flying from Toronto where everyone flies out for March break, I'd wait a bit before purchasing.

I just read on another thread that the Wonder will have a Tweens' Club, called Edge, by the time we sail. Woo hoo!

I just joined the fb page.. Thanks for setting that up!!!!!

My mom has one on hold that will not be used. We tried to get my Aunt to go but cant. So as of tomorrow it will be free. I would call first thing in the AM. My thought are that you will be able to find a room. Fingers are crossed.

I want to join the FB page, but I can't! Since we are going to TRY to surprise our kids for Christmas I can't do that!! They will see it! I will have to wait until we tell them before I join. I really don't know if we can hold out to Christmas......We just want to make sure we are able to go before we tell them.

I will be calling first thing in the AM to check on rooms....just wish your mom could pass it along to 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.

Thanks for your confidence!! Don't get to excited yet!! I'm working on a sample list for everyone's approval. We'll see what everyone thinks then!!

 

[BigRed1]

Hey Mindy!! Just sent you an email with the sample list attached.

 

[hopelea]

WooHoo!! I just check DCL website.....I found a CAT 10 for my parents!! It was the only room. They still aren't as happy as they should be...they really want a lower price......

It does pay to keep checking!!

This will be our 1st Disney cruise. I'm a DL veteran and I loved my trips to WDW, and now I can't WAIT until the cruise. With the Kids Sail free offer out of LA it was a no brainer. We can drive in and save on Air.

I have 2 kids Girl, 7, and Boy, 9. They would love to have a pen pal before the trip and then meet on the ship. Let me know.

We put the deposit down on this cruise as well today

I'm becoming a bit of a DCL addict/fanatic - this will be our fourth DCL cruise, we were just on the May 5th Med and while on board we booked the July 5th Dream (we'll probably add on a couple days at Disney World before that cruise).

Then up pops this Kids Sail Free thing, and I thought, why not? We've never done a Mexican Riviera cruise, it's during our DD March break...and I'll be turning the big 4-0 while onboard .

We are myself, DH and DD7...our daughter loves meeting new kids, so we can't wait

Keaster! Really I'm not stalking you!! Goofymum alerted me of the ksf offer and I had promised my nieces a trip for their graduation if another ksf offer came up...so here we are..it's the first time their spring breaks (one in college, on in high school) have coincided!!

I'm hoping to get a group of 25 (for the discount) for a zip line excursion in Los Veranos (Puerto Vallarta)..if anyone would like to join us our kids are ages 11-19 (3 mine and 2 nieces)...4 girls and one son....we'd love to get the 25% discount and I think we get 15% off for booking online...I can call them and see...

Look forward to doing FE..this time it will be easier to pack...doing it on the Med was tight!!

Pre voyage everyone!!

Hi Everyone!

We are on this sailing...me, DD16, DD12, DS12, and DD5. DH will not be sailing this time. We are traveling with friends, and as I am a TA I also have about 20 sets of clients also on this cruise. I'm thinking of doing an FE list just for them, lol.

Anyway, I'm very excited to be a part of this group, I really enjoyed being involved in the Mediterranean thread before our April 24th cruise and I look forward to getting to know all of you!

20 clients Wow. This group is going to get huge! Im curious to see how many doors will be decorated on the ship. Lots of Disers=Lots of fun!

 

[BigRed1]

OK cruise fans, Mindy sent me the list of Dis-names she had on the cruise with FE info. I am putting that into the new list. The new list has more info on it. If you would like to add the rest of your info to the list, here's my generic how to instructions:

This is how the list thing works….. You may provide any, all or part of the following:

Dis Name-
Email address-
Adults name, age, occupation
Kids first names & ages
Early or late dinner seating
Stateroom number
Hometown
Where you are staying night before the cruise – (in case we have several people @ same place, we can have a dis-meet or pool party the night before)
Participating in FE Exchange

It is up to you how much information you choose to provide. The list is in MS Word format. If you don’t have MS Word, I can send it so you can view it in Adobe Reader. It will be a jumbled up mess if you try to open it in Notepad or Wordpad. If you would like to be on the list, PM me your info. Once the list is made, I will send it as an attachment to the email address you provide for the list. The list will be updated as I receive changes or additions. (once a week or so as needed) If I get something wrong, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I will try to fix it on the next update. If after you see the list, and you have any ideas or suggestions, let me know.

ALSO, We need someone who is artsy to come up with a Mexican or Fiesta style Mickey to put on the list!!
If anyone has any questions let me know!!!

Lucky! Right now the ship is completely FULL. I have 2 friends that are trying to get 2 cabins with no success at all.

20 clients Wow. This group is going to get huge! Im curious to see how many doors will be decorated on the ship. Lots of Disers=Lots of fun!

On some of our fall cruises, we have had as many as 75 people on the ship from our hometown! We had almost 300 people on that list!! The more, the merrier!!!

It coincides with our Spring break...it just snowballed. I called all my best clients and they called their friends and so on...I have a handful on the Feb 27th and March 20th sailings but the bulk is on the 20th. I think this will be an amazingly fun cruise!
