May 28, 2009 Wonder Cruise - Anyone Else?

[tay72699]

I know how you feel...just bought a few things a few weeks ago and now they are a too big, but I figure by the end of WDW and the cruise they will fit again!

My DD is ready to pack, but I am putting it off until Saturday...I know she will keeping adding to it through the week (since we keep shopping!) and we are already taking too much as usual. We do have everything out and ready to go though.

Only 6 more days till we leave for WDW...

We leave for Port Canaveral exactly 1 week from today! I started "making piles" last night, finished my FE, and wrote out my lists. I now truly feel like we are going on vacation. For those who are doing this as a secret, I admire you...I couldn't stand it! See you at the Mickey pool in 9 days!

One question about the FE exchange...do we just pass out our gifts whenever or is there some sort of schedule as to when to do that? I am so excited about passing them out that we will probably do it first thing, if we can.

We are excited, too -- 6 days for us and counting!

I had the same FE question. I am happy to pass out my stuff on Thursday, but any other day works as well.

I was just going to do everything at once. I thought since we are only there for 3 days....I will do whatever everyone else wants to do. It will be a good way for us to learn our way around the ship.

I'm sitting here thinking - this time next week we'll be at WDW - Keeping this a secret is killing me. My DD caught me last night organizing my bags and asked what I was doing Told her I was getting ready for this weekend's soccer tournament. Guess I better be careful - I think she might have an idea, but I don't see how she would know unless she looked at my travel book with all our confirmations and such.

I think we'll hand out our FE gifts Friday morning on our way to breakfast - that way it will give the kids something to wake up to - this is going to be so much fun!!!

Looking forward to meeting everyone on Thursday at the Mickey Pool!!

I think when the FE was first mentioned it was drop them off on whatever day or night you'd like to, no set schedule.

We are leaving headed to Florida at about 4:00 AM Monday morning so we are getting closer. See you all on board!

 

[Mickeefan]

I was just thinking, this time next week, I'll be on the ground hopefully checking into Pop Century for one night! Woo Hoo!

I actually got my suitcase out last night and put the surge protector (multiple outlets) thing in, so I won't forget it.

I'm planning to start packing on Friday.

 

[ldalvarado]

My girls and I leave in a week too! About this time next week, I will be picking them up from school, grabbing a bite to eat and heading to the airport. We will fly in and stay at the Hyatt MCO and then grab our rental car and head to port.

Not to rain on anyone's parade. but I looked at the weather and it is calling for scattered thunderstorms for Bahams and Florida for the 10 day outlook. Tell me it isn't so

From what I understand, that is very typical this time of the year and is basically the "standard" forecast. The rain usually amounts to an afternoon storm lasting around 1 hour, and it will be widely scattered. The storm that has been lingering in Florida for the last several days is an unusual occurrence and should be gone by the time we get there.

No worries!!!

I decided that you can pass them out when you want/have time. I wanted to make easy

I have been watching the weather closely too. Florida has been having HUGES amount of rainfall this last week. I hope it lets up soon (although I know they needed the rain)!!

We leave a week from tomorrow!

I am bummed..but we will not be at our mini-met We are going to the DVC gathering that is schedule at the same time. I will be there in spirit!

Say it isn't so! We wanted to go to the DVC meet too. How did you find out what time it is?

I looked at a 2/2009 navigator posted on the site, the DVC meet is from 2:30-3:30.

On another note... I am very excited to see UP on the cruise!!!

 

[44disney]

OK -- How do you know what movies will be shown on the cruise???

[goofydad99]

I don't know what else is being screened. You can call DCL and they will tell you what will be showing.

I was suppose to be getting on the Wonder today! My friend talked me into waiting till next week so they could go with us.

Thank you friend!! Have you seen the weather for today right off the coast and at the port?????

I know there is always a chance of rain and scattered showers this time of year and that doesn't bother me. Those poor people today will be drenched.

I am so ready for vacation!!!!!!

This week has been so crazy. Only 1/2 days of school so between work and school and DH's truck being in the shop I have ran myself to exhaustion. Today was the last one thankfully. DS had class day (awards) at 9:00 AM, finished at 10:15. Ran DH to work, took kids to my dad's, then back to work for me.

Looking forward to some down time.......lol.......who am I kidding???? We are going to WDW!!!!! Can't waste time sleeping.

Well we plan to be at the pool on board earlier than 3:00 so if you see us make sure and say hi. I'll be on the look out for DISers too.

I've been researching menus, deck plans and trip reports to get prepared.
