[Deirdres]

We are going to be on the cruise also! It will be me and my husband and our son who is 2 1/2. We did the Christmas cruise on the Magic last month. We are excited! Does anyone know what days are formal/semi formal etc?[/

I called disneys 800 number and the told me the formal night is monday and semi-formal is on friday.

Hi everyone. We will be joining you as well. It will be me, DH, and our two girls (ages 9 and 4). My parents are also coming with us. This will be our second time on the Wonder and we can't wait to be back.

Clare, I sent you an email with our information for the FE. Hopefully it isn't too late to join the group.

 

[mybeachbabies]

Well we are officially joining you! We decided to go ahead and change from the Pacific Coast to this cruise for spring break

We were able to book almost everything we wanted except for the Beach Getaway in Cabo. It is booked for both days We are going to do the Pool excursion instead.

I was wondering if our group has a name?

 

[bigedwin]

Hi
So far don't think we have a group name but maybe we can up with one!
How about starting a list of possibilities?

Here are my first suggestions!
1- Riviera Wonder
2- Spring Wonder Crew

We really needed a vacation so booked this cruise. Now I found this thread this thread and noticed very few are bringing very young children.
Oh no, I should have known something was up when no nursery time slots were full for our 2 year old. Hope our 3 young children (7,5,2) aren't out of place on a Disney Cruise. Yikes, that's why we avoided every other cruise line.

 

[XMom]

Have no fear! We are bringing our three kids (8, 6, 4) and happen to know 3 other families that are going just from our school, so I know there will be more 7-8 year olds as well as another 4 y.o. I don't think many people are aware of these boards and a lot of CA cruisers are first timers, so don't worry. We have not been on a Disney cruise that hasn't had a lot of kids. Are you guys local to CA? It is spring break week for our school in Ventura county so that is why we chose this week........hope that alleviates some of your concern.

 

[mybeachbabies]

Don't worry! We will be bringing our 4 kids (9,7,4,2). When we were on the Dream in Nov. there were plenty of kids and my kids had a great time. Since this cruise falls over spring break for a lot of us, I'm guessing there will be lots of kids.

 

[clarefb]

This is DISNEY it;s full of kids! Trust me, you & the kiddos will have a blast! Welcome to the group!!

It's getting closer

Hi everyone-- I've been lurking for a few weeks now and thought it was time to come out of hiding.

As a couple, my wife and I have been on 3 cruises together - a 4-day to Ensenada on Carnival, a 7-day New York - Halifax on R Family (Norwegian), and a 7-day Seattle - Alaska on R Family (Norwegian). This is our first Disney cruise, and our 5-year-old DD's first cruise (unless you count the fact that I was 11 weeks pregnant with her in Alaska!) ever.

We've been looking forward to this for ages, and now it's almost here!

Did anyone else notice a new excursion was added for Cabo? There is now a Whale Photo excursion available. It looks fun, but 2 of my kids are still too young for it. The excursion is for 6 and up.

Amanda,

Thank you so much for posting this, it is the excursion that i really wanted. I've been debating for the past month whether or not to book it on my own. So glad that it is finally offered, i just booked it. Very happy, thanks again!!!

You're very welcome! I've been checking to see if any spots opened up on the Beach Getaway and I noticed a weird code the other day. Yesterday it finally turned to the Whale Photo excursion LOL. It looks like a super fun excursion. Hope you enjoy it!

Received a call the Beach Resort has cancelled both days of our sailing!
I guess the resort is expecting near full capacity so cancelled Disney group!
No other comparable options were offered.
Still many tours are still available!
The pool hotel beach is rough so beach is not advised!
Several snorkel tours were available!

FYI

 

[XMom]

We usually take a water taxi over to one of the restaurants on the beach and the adults have some eats and drinks and the kids get to play on the beach. Cabo is a very safe little tourist town. Stay in the tourist area and you will be just fine.

What are you packing for clothes? I have read that it was chilly so I am perplexed how to pack and I don't want to pack too much!
