Nov 6, 2011 Mickey's Mexican Fiesta

[princesskayla]

Hi All

We are also looking forward to this cruise- Myself, DW, DD age 8, and DS turning 7 on the cruise! Flying out Friday from NY, and spending Saturday in Disneyland before the cruise on Sunday. We have cruised NCL a number of times, but first time on a Disney cruise.

Welcome aboard! I think alot of us are going to be spending the day at Disneyland before the cruise. Where are you going to stay while you are at DL?

I just made a large payment on my cruise! I now have more than half of it paid off. Stupid bills. I wanna just pay the whole thing off already. Maybe next paycheck...

Ok so I think I have read every single trip report for The Mexican Riviera on the Wonder and have looked through the food porn board like a million times ...

What am I going to do for the next 3 months???

I don't know how I'm going to survive ...

I am so tempted to drive to San Pedro just to see the Wonder dock in port. This might be considered cruise stalking.

How about making Mickey tie dye shirts or magnets? Or a travel journal for any kids? I lack a craft gene but these are fun to do.

Actually I was able to find a tye dye kit at Michaels on clearance for $3.96. It included 5 different color dyes, the 5 bottles, rubberbands and gloves. It has everything to make 10 shirts ... well except for the shirts

I want to start working on my FE and magnets soon. I also need to find the cord for my netbook so I can take it with me. I find it's best to download my pictures every night so I won't kill the battery during the day

I was thinking about doing that while the Wonder was at an Alaskan port.

We just booked. I'm a Disney World cast member. My husband is coming along too. And our best friends from Pennsylvania booked a cabin.

This will be my 12th Disney cruise. Our last one was the 11 night Christmas cruise on the Magic. After that I had two surgeries and radiation and I'm not allowed to go back in the sun and swim, etc. We've been going through cruise withdrawal.

We're flying in the day before and staying at Doubletree near the ship.

Names: Teena and Bob (that's us) and Fred and Lois (our Pennsylvania friends).

We booked ocean view cabins but don't have our cabin numbers yet.

We are also sailing on this cruise! I'm Staci, Lisacarolr's niece.

I am sailing with my parents and brother. We are all adults. I am interested in the Fish Extender exchange and the Postcard/Recipe exchange. I don't have 10 posts so I cannot message you for the FE/postcards yet. I'll ask my aunt to send our information later.

Can't wait for the cruise. We love Disney. This will be our second cruise. In 2008, we sailed to the western carribean on the Disney Magic.

Hello, we are going to be on this cruise as well. Myself, my husband, and our son, who will turn 9 the day before the cruise. My parents are joining us as well. We are arriving on Nov 3rd to go to Disneyland. Last year we spent my son's birthday at DisneyWorld, this year at Disneyland, very excited we are able to give him those experiences! This will be our third Disney cruise (we have done Western and Eastern Carribbean) and my parents first Disney cruise. We won't be doing the fish extenders but I did want to stop in and introduce myself. Since we have cruised before, I was able to book Palo Sunday night and I got Palo Brunch (our 2nd time, highly recommend), Palo dinner, and high tea (first time). I've never been able to get all three before, so that was already a highlight for me! Looking forward to cruising with everyone.

Welcome!! I have a 9 year old son going as well. So glad you got the Palo reservations you wanted. I am trying to decide if I want to do Palo - my husband and I are not "fancy" people. We turned down California Grill ressies at firework time for Mickey's BBQ! Plus we are going without kids in April - will we do Palo then for sure.

Hi fellow Wonder-ers!

Mark and Cindy from Murphy, TX (north of Dallas) on our first Disney cruise. We're in cabin 8092.

We are committed Disney-philes! We have been DVC-ers for about 5 years now. We're going to WDW in 3 weeks, staying at Bay Lake Towers for 5 days.

We're excited to be cruising the Mexican Riviera.

We'll be adults only this trip. Perhaps in several more years we'll have a big family trip (we have one grandson, 1).

I'm intereisted in the FE activities, but I'm not sure I know exactly what this involves.

Would love to hear more from everyone. Cindy
