May 2, 2014 - A WONDERous trip through the Locks WBPC

[GromMom]

Does anyone know when the formal/pirate nights are? dh and I have never been to Palo and would like to try to book it once this trip. I was hoping to figure out the best day to book, I'd prefer to book it during the Mexican themed dinner if there is one since we get quite a bit of Mexican food here and I don't want to miss for example the French dinner as I missed it last cruise. Also do you just book Palo when you're allowed to start booking, e.g. I can book at 90 days out or 2/1 since I am "silver", or do you have to call your Travel Agent?

Thanks!

You can book Palo online. Sorry, I cant answer your other questions. See you on 2/1!

If you want to participate in multiple groups, please fill out the form again, and your name will be added automatically to the next group. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions!

Thanks

Hello! My husband (Dr.Dave) and I are going to be traveling with you on the Wonder this year... Panama Canal, here we come!

I might have done this backwards, because I joined our private Facebook group first... Nice to meet you in advance!

We planned this PC cruise to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had a beautiful Disney Wedding in Walt Disney World in 2010, and our honeymoon was a Disney Transatlantic cruise. We wish we could cruise more often than we do; nevertheless, we love these LONG cruises. (First time on Disney's Wonder.) We've always met DIS friends prior to every cruise, and it's these friendships that always made these vacations even more special.

We're looking forward to getting to know everyone here!

PS. Who else is arriving in Miami the night before? Should we find a nearby hotel and secure a Group Rate for DIS travelers? This worked really well during our Transatlantic cruise last year.

We might be interested in a group rate in Miami.

Thanks! That helps, maybe I can look at some old navigators or something for the other info.

Welcome and Happy Anniversary! I don't think we'll stay in Miami as we plan to fly into Ft. Lauderdale and stay up there for two nights.

We might be interested in a group rate in Miami.

We have booked at La Quinta, but I think we could cancel in case you need another for a group rate.

Welcome PrincessMonkey

Welcome Princess Monkey! Be sure to check the first page of our thread for a few planned activities and to fill out the survey if you are interested in any tastings with the group.

We have a reservation at the Doubletree by Hilton Grand Biscayne Bay and SAS transportation from FtL airport to there. It's pretty far ahead though so we could change if something better came along. I mainly picked it for our Hilton Honors points.

Hi There!

We will be celebrating our anniversary as well. We were engaged on the Wonder during an Alaskan cruise, honeymooned on the Wonder on an Alaskan cruise and spent our first anniversary on the Wonder in the Caribbean! This will be our second anniversary.

We will be in Miami the night before and might be interested in a group rate as well.

 

[Muushka]

Well, technically, this is an anniversary for us too (albeit 1 week late). What a way to celebrate!
Our anniversary plus a milestone birthday for me.
(2 months late, but with a DCL PC cruise, you take them when you can!)

Hello,

I could stay up all night now reading messages, but I am going to have to crash soon and read tomorrow.

We decided to book the cruise just two weeks ago or so and are so excited. We were at Disney World in October and have "caught the pixie dust" as one friend said. It will be my mom, me and my almost 4 year old boy.

It is hard trying to catch up on what all the abbreviations mean. I was reading a log though for someone the other night and he mentioned a DISBoard meet up on a cruise so I thought I would see what I could find here.

This is our first cruise. We are trying to learn as much as we can!

Happy greetings to all of you!!
Wendy

Can you publish the list? I thought I signed up, but can't see anything. FE and SM are our favorite!

It appears the Inside GT rate has just been posted. We are holding out for the VGT. My family took the 2013 Westbound PC cruise and had such a fabulous time we would like to do it again this year. We were able to secure the VGT last year and have our fingers crossed they offer it again this year.

My daughter is in kindgergarten and this is probably the only time we could pull her from school for two weeks. She was one of only 200 kids last year and had so much fun as the Youth crew had so much time to devote to each kid. She was so spoiled...and so were we.

Hopefully there will be a VGT and we will join you on this cruise. Last year the VGTs were out the beginning of Jan. I am hoping they might appear the beginning of Feb since then it will be the 90 day mark.

You've chosen a great itinerary for your 1st cruise, Wendy! Your family is going to have a magical time!!! Be sure to join our facebook page as well!

Thanks for the info!

I've mentioned that discounted price to a few people. I just do not know what airfare will be so near the cruise.

You did sign up. I will email the list to everyone sometime today (apologies for any delays, work is getting in the way of life, and I lost my passport and need to get it fixed).
