May 31, 2009- 4 Wonderful nights

[CruzDirectorKaren]

There is a sticky near the top of the disney cruise line forum- it's a thread full of DCL facts. I found it there under "Track the ships".

Thank you! My family and friends want to track the ship while I am on it.

OK Gang, I am willing to put together a little roll call for our Wonder cruise.

Remlap, 2 adults

I would like to also include cabin numbers and either late or early dinning.

How do you guys think about meeting after the life boat drill at Mickey's pool? Does it interfere with anyone's dinning plans?

Karen

We too have late dining (by choice)

We are in a SPH room, but the exact number escapes me. I'm still holding out for an upgrade. j/k

I'd be up for meeting. Your idea won't interfere with dinner. However, as our first (and probably only) DCL trip, I do want to catch part of the sail away show. I'm not sure the timing, but if it all works, count us in.

We'd be terrible fish extender people, especially on this short of cruise, but I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. It's always good to be able to find friendly faces when grabbing a drink or seeing a show.

I was out on our balcony and saw someone up on PV waving, wearing mouse ears. Did you see me waving back.

I have no clue when we'd have time to watch a movie, but I just noticed that UP! is being released two days before we set sail.

While I have no clue when anyone would actually have time to watch a movie, odds are high that they'll be showing it in 3D on our cruise.

Right now we have early dining...by my daughter's choice. I want to try late this time but the growing girl is hungry early.
I would like to get a good spot at the sail away party which I think follows the drill? On a previous cruise we DISers met up on Deck 10 prior to and during the sail away. Up on deck 10, you can watch the show below on Deck 9 plus you can watch the Wonder sail out of the port. If you are on deck 9 you will be in front of the stage show but you can't see the sailing out of the port.

On our 2006 Disney cruise we got to see the movie Cars on the Magic before it was released in any of the theaters. So it would be great if that happened again with "Up".

Yes Doug, I saw you waving back! Can't wait to meet you all... Karen

Yes that is usually where us past Diser's have meet too. I was thinking that the first timers maybe want to be down on the stage for sailaway. Us adults can do sailaway from there on Deck 10. We can decided to meet before sail away on Deck 10, port side and then who ever wants to go and dance can. How about that?

I just checked UPS.com and used my bkg # as the reference #.......
And looks like something was sent 5/4 should be here 5/7.
1 lb package

I am in a verandah guarantee, I hope my cabin # will be printed on them.

We just got our cruise docs yesterday!

Sounds good to me.

 

[remlap]

Too cool about the cruise docs and the secret of tracking by confirmation number. Mine were delivered to AMEX travel yesterday. Hopefully I'll get them tomorrow.

Cruise meet time & place sounds like a great idea. C-YA there!

 

[OrlandoDisneyFan]

Another Central Florida Family here...looking forward to the cruise. We decided to go 'last minute' in early/mid April when I saw the FL Resident rates, and couldn't pass up the deal. I must say I was quite surprised to get early seating, as well as Palo dinner and bruch reservations, at that late date, but we'll take them.

We are: Myself, DW, DD4, DS(6months)

This will be our third cruise (since 06/01/2008...we got hooked!) and we are trying to keep this one 'secret' from DD4. Since we live in Orlando, and will be driving over, I plan on sending her to a neighbor's house early Sunday while we pack up her stuff, then heading over to the port and 'see if they have any room for us' once she sees the ship.

 

[OfChorus]

We're a family of 3 (husband, wife, & 19 yo son). This is son's belated graduation present. This will be our first time in a Cat 4 stateroom. We've been in Cat 11 and Cat 5-7 previously. It's been 6 years since we've set sail and this is long overdue!!! I'm probably more excited about this cruise than the other 5 - but think it's cuz it's been soooo long. We're Central Florida Natives and live about 2 hours from Port Canaveral. If you have any questions for which you haven't yet found answers...I'll be glad to share what I might know with you. We don't care where the ship goes - either Disney Cruise Ship - the Magic or the Wonder - IS the destination! Both young and old alike will have a blast!!! There are a number of youtube vids that will help get you even more excited - just search for Disney Cruise! I'm just waaay to excited about this!!!

 

[FLORIDA_DAD]

Looks like we have some things in common - Central FL (Palm Bay) - Annual Passholders, and Hooked on Disney Cruises (3rd since Sept 2008). We have a DS5 and a DD3. If you would like to meet up during the sail away party let us know. We will try and be off to the side of Pinocchio’s Pizzeria, unless you have a better idea. Later - Chris

Hello Everyone,
I am glad i found this forum. This is our 2nd Disney Cruise (last one was October 2008). In the last cruise, we went with a group of 14 (family and friends). This time we are going just us 4 (DH, myself, DS 5, and DD3). My daughter will be turning 4yo on June 1st and I want to prepare special things on her special day, any suggestings?
I have not read all the posting but I see there is a "meet" time, we will like to join.
DH is looking some adult time and spa.
DS5 is hoping to play hard in the Oceaneer's club.
DD3 knows is her birthday and thinks the whole cruise is about her birthday. We made reservations to Bibbibb... boutique at downtown disney on Sunday morning to get her hair and nails done.
And i am hoping for some party time at the clubs, LOL.
Hope to meet you soon.

DS 5 is excited about seeing this movie but i remember last time we went on disney cruise in October, it was the opening weekend for Beverly Hills Chihuahua and my kids fell sleep half way through the movie, not fun brining them back to the room. We were just so tired of everything we did that day. Hopefully this time we can stay up.

We have annual passes as well. My family call us the "disney freaks"..LOL. OUr kids are same age. we are planning to have our bathings suites on when boarding so the kids can enjoy mickey's pool early, then change them before departing.

Hi Tampa. We too have reservations for Palo on Tuesday. Ours are at 7 PM.

We choose Tuesday for Pirate night so we could hit all three restaurants since have haven't been to any of them, including Palo.

You'll have to swing by the table when you arrive for your reservation. We can give you our recommendations.

See everyone in 11 days!
