We had some "snow" here today, haha only they were really tiny flurries that didn't stick and there were not a lot of them at all. Only 6 more days until we leave to visit family in Fl yay!!!

With all this snow I keep thinking of more FE stuff---- must stop! I don't have westjones cabin # on my list and hopefully, after fishon882 has a fantastic party this weekend we will know thier cabin #, right? Thanks!

 

[jackieslp]

Tara, westjones (deb) decided not to participate as her girls are older. I do think she may still meet for the meet and greet though (it was her idea to meet at the promenade). I am sitting here watching which schools are closed today and cant figure out why my kids' district is closed but the one next to it (which I follow today) is not!!! I am so bummed - now what to do with these kids? If I were cloased then I could do more FE things and pack for Syracuse!! Hope you didn't get too much snow.

Late to joint but will be on board! Doing the spring break trip with the family. We are staying at Beach Club for 3 days before setting sail. Can't wait. This will be our 5th cruise and it never gets old! A great friend of mine will be going too with her family for their 1st cruise!

We had Reids MAW party today and received our itinerary. We will be in room #2502, and will be getting to Port Canaveral by Disney Transportation and should be there no later than noon on the 7th.
Getting our Resv# today has kept us from getting some of the excursions that we wanted, but the main thing is we are on this cruise and Reid will love anything we get to do.
DW(Heather) DS(Cole 10) DS(Reid 7) and I(Bob) look forward to meeting all of you on the promenade deck at 3:00 on Sunday.
Thank you all again so much for all your help and your info that you have provided to us, we may still have some questions this week to get us packed and on the plane.

 

[MPwifey]

I am glad that you guys had fun at Reid's MAW party, and I will make sure to add you to our FE list that I am hanging outside our cabin door. # 7092

In case anyone forgets their list I will have one hanging on a dry erase board outside our room, but I think that meeting at the promenade will be just fine for all of us since the ship is sold out.

Anyone have any exciting cruise plans that they want to share? DH and I are getting a couples massage on our sea day, I would like to get a rainforest pass for the day. We do not have any excursions, but we want to try the big water bikes at CC.

 

[Sccrmnky2005]

I'm glad you had the party and it went well! Yay for getting your room number. We are also on deck 2. Never been on deck 2, but are very excited about the location (except being under the club) but it's better than not being on the ship at all.


ONLY ONE WEEK FROM TODAY AND WE WILL ALMOST BE AT THE PORT TO GET ON THE WONDER TOGETHER!!!

 

[westjones]

Has anyone checked in online yet? DH has tried a couple of times and it isn't working for us. Have the rest of you been able to do that?

 

[njdisneymom811]

This time next week we'll be cruising! Thought I was all done but there is still a lot to do! Don't think my boss will understand taking off to get ready for my vacation!

By checking in, do you mean filling out the paperwork and printing out the contract? Or can we truly check in online? I stopped going on disney website when I found this one!

 

[MPwifey]

I tried to do the online check in ( the paperwork) but it is not letting me on the page. For now I am just happy that we are leaving tuesday night after I get off work to visit family in FL. I have no idea how I am going to make it through 2 days of work. At least on Tuesday we are having a party for Dr. Seuss' birthday at school so time will go by faster.

 

[Sccrmnky2005]

I did online check in last week and printed everything out so not sure if it's not working. If you are still having trouble today call DCL and let them knowl

5 days for me to be at CIS!!!

 

[fishon8862]

My wife and I got on the cruise site last night and filled out all the paperwork, registered the boys and printed out all the forms including the contract.
On another note, we picked up a white eraser board yesterday. How do you hang this on your cabin door ?
We had a great time at Reids MAW party, he was so surprised when the lady from Make a Wish told him his wish had been granted he said are we going this summer and she said your leaving next week he was like Yes!!!!!!!
We have pics and video that we would love to share with you all at the meet and greet Sunday afternoon.
Still trying to figure out what excursions we can get booked on so late in the game, would like to take the boys to Atlantis water park and are trying to find a cheaper way than thru the cruise ship to book it. If anybody has done this before please let me know how you may have done it.
Thanks again to everyone for your help in makeing this a vacation that Reid will never forget. This week will drag out forever I'm affraid before we leave here on Saturday to fly to Orlando. My folks live in St, Petersburg and are coming to Orlando to be with us Saturday night and Sunday for a bit, we have'nt seen them since last summer. See Ya'll soon.

Hello,

We are another MAW family, just got our trip details last Thursday night! We'll be just down the hall in 2530/32.

How did you manage to get an overnight from MAW? They told us it was against policy because our trip involved an "international" destination. So we don't get into Orlando until noon on the 7th. I hope there are no delays!


Anyway, we were encouraged to "not be shy" about wearing MAW buttons. Along with my Hawaiian shirt, they should make us easy to identify.

WELCOME and glad to see another family joining us on the cruise!!

Welcome to our disboard group!

Okay, Amanda - you better do your "lets get warm dance" soon. I keep checking the weather and it is getting colder!!

But I realize that if it is sunny, it will be okay - just really could use that warmth these days.

I went online and registered a while ago and printed out everything. Megan, something is not right - contact bc it will go so much faster at check in when you get to the ship. Have a safe trip down and we will see you at 3:00.

We leave Friday and can't wait...just counting down and crossing things off the list!

Bob, I put those magnets on the back of my white board (they have adhesive you peel off) and they stick right on- or you can hang it over your fish. I did put together the canvas totes for you to hang over the fish for the FE gifts just in case you don't get a chance to get anything - so tell Heather that is done. If I had more time, I would have handmade you one, but unfortunately, time is critical these days.

 

[njdisneymom811]

Bob - we are going to Atlantis with our kids as well as my cousins and thier children. We rented a room at the Comfort Inn across the street and you get passes for everything at atlantis - waterpark, pools, the dig, aquarium, beach. Google comfort inn nassau bahamas and it should be the first to pop up. I called and made my reservation just to be sure it was the one linked to Atlantis. Glad to hear the party went well.

Jackie - warm weather dance in effect!

See you all soon!!!!

 

[jackieslp]

We were going to do that too but we decided on the Stingray excursion (blackbeards)- I still don't know if we made the right choice. My kids really like to snorkel which is why we chose this one as I can live with snokeling close to the shore - jumping overboard from a boat scares me...did it before and really don't want to do it again.

I think I may still look at the Comfort inn to see how much it would cost and then rethink my choice...decisions decisions...

Welcome aboard, it's nice to see another childs wish come true. You guys are probably going through many of the same emotions we have been going through.

My wife has been obsessing over packing and planning and making everything perfect since we found out. I found this board as well as a FaceBook page and that has helped us so much. We have gotten lots of tips and hints on how to make this trip great. Not sure of the FB page but it is on some earlier post here.

How old are your kids? We have two boys' 10 and 7. Our 7 year old is the MAW child.

I have no clue how we got an overnight. They just told us when the flight is. It could be because we live in a smaller area and the flights aren't as frequent.

We are looking forward to meeting you! We did not receive any MAW buttons, but have contacted our MAW volunteer to see if she can get us any.
If we don't have buttons we will be the family of 4 with Arkansas Razorback shirts on, should not be hard to miss us.

Okay, no more me talking about the weather...it is now "lets have smooth seas". AFter realizing that last week the ship hit some rough waves, I would rather have it a little on the cool side than have that ship rockin'.....
