Nov 29th 3 day Wonder cruise

[reigle4]

Where are all the Nov 29th cruisers? I have gone thru every post and cant find one. There has to be someone else who is excited as I am and wants to talk with a fellow cruiser. My husband, myself and our grandaughter (3 yrs soon to be 4 at time of cruise) will be on our 1st Disney cruise. We are sooooo excited. My granddaughter and myself are true Disney fans and of course she is a true Disney princess. Hope someone else will be on this ship.....hahaha. I'd hate to have to fight off the pirates all by myself.

Hey...I just booked today!! I am so excited! This will be my 6th time on the Wonder! Last November I sailed the same time..and it was "Wonder"ful!! We had a group of 28. This year...it's just me and 3 of my 4 kids... ages 12, 8, and 8. Last time on took on the role of "Fairy Godmother" "Tinkerbell"...which was alot...I had more suitcases for "Stuff" than my own clothes....so, this trip will be much more relaxing...unless the word gets out and we end up with another group . Either way...I am looking forward to being back.

Everytime we go to Disney with her (which has been 4 times in her 3 years of life) When we get back to the hotel room Tinkerbell has usually left something on her bed for her to use for the next day at the park or just to play with. I think she actually likes Tinkerbell better than Santa at this point. I hope we have a great cruise and lots of pixie dust. I also see that you are from South Carolina. I used to live in Ladson until huricane Hugo went thru. Then we moved. Not because of the huricane though. Anyways maybe we'll see you on the ship.

I constantly collect "Tinkerbell" surprises....even before booking I had new bathing suits for my 8 yr old twins (girl/boy), 2 new Mickey tshirts for dd(8), a pirate shirt of ds(8)...and yesterday I had an hour to two to myself and ended up in Dillard's and finding a SnowWhite nightgown for dd(8)...one of those flowey pink princess ones (reg $25 for $12..how do you leave that?)..and then my next stop was Target...where I found for 1/2 price a Buzz Lightyear and Ariel bubble blower....perfect for Castaway Cay! My 12 old daughter knows about the trip..so, I showed those purchases to her..and she had the look...like where's my stuff?! Of course, "Tinkerbell" won't forget about her....And the buying begins!

I am very excited my sister and her 2 boys are interested in joining us in Nov too. They went on our first Disney Cruise.. 7 years ago when her youngest was only a year. So, I am excited about making them door signs.......making sure she has the boys pirate attire for Pirate Night.......she didn't go to Palo...and I created a treasure hunt for the all the kids that sailed in our group last Nov...which I can do again for the boys... Even though this will be their 2nd cruise..I feel like I have the chance to make it more "Wonder"ful than they could imagine.

Yes...Hugo...I remember it well! I lived in Rock Hill at the time..and it was a scary night...hard to believe how much damage would be done so far inland.

Happy Planning...from one "Fairy Godmother"/"Tinkerbell" to another!

I just did the same thing. Had a moment to myself while my hubby watched our granddaughter so I went to the mall and to Walmart and got some "Tinkerbell" items. I think she enjoys the surprises as much as the rides. Being 3 she can't get the concept of time so we made a paper chain with one link for each day remaining til our trip so each morning she cuts one of the links off and that way she can see that the trip is getting closer. It is so much easier that way than telling her everyday that "no it is not time to go yet" ans seeing the disappointment in her little eyes. I have learned that next time I dont' say anything until about a week away (if I can stand it). It is so nice to have a forum to be able to talk to others excited about going on a Disney cruise. My hubby doesn't enjoy hearing about it all the time and says if I keep talking about it it will ruin it for him. I on the other hand think the planning and anticipation of the trip is half the fun. Anyway, you sound like a great planner and I enjoy hearing about your ideas in case you have some that I haven't thought of yet. See ya in November. (and about a thousand other cruisers....hahaha)
