November 18, 2010 Wonder 3 day

I love the Vinylmation idea! That would be great! I'm going to share your link with my friends who are cruising with us- their kids love vinylmation already. I think we'll be doing the pillowcases again so DH and I get a set.


I know, I thought he was adorable and I can't wait to see how cute he is signed! :cool1:


I have packed a box to send before. The dimensions are very specific, look on the sticky at the top of the forum to find out. There was a box at the USPS that worked. However- be sure to send it in time, but not too far ahead. And have your sailing date and info not only on the outside but the inside as well. On my cruise last November, one of my friends shipped a box with all the FE gifts in it (I did as well). Unfortunately DCL or the room steward delivered it to the family in her stateroom on the cruise BEFORE ours. They opened it and kept all the gifts!!!!!:scared1::scared1: Mine got there fine though. I wonder if my friend's box got there too early? I might end up sending a box as well again. I'll just try to be sure to mark it all over with NOVEMBER 18 3 DAY WONDER! And have a packing list inside and with me as well if there was a problem. It looks like most of the time it's not a problem though.

Yikes! I am kinda nervous about sending the box...I will make sure to label it CLEARLY! lol

I would be REALLY careful about booking a flight that comes in the same day as a cruise. In fact, at that time of year I'd recommend against it. If there's a flight delay, you miss the cruise. And sometimes, your plane can't get to you in City A because there's a snowstorm (or technical problems) in City B, where that plane was before it comes to you. I've been stuck for many many hours in an airport with that same situation. Luckily it was at the end of a vacation not the beginning! Is there any way you can fly in the night before?

Well, this trip was a gift from my MIL and she kinda booked everything before I was able to do any research. I am hoping that it all turns out fine, but I have decided that if (when!) we book another cruise, we will be driving in and doing it early enough to stay the night and get to port early. I kinda want to have time to look around and enjoy the terminal. I have considered calling and seeing what changes I can make, but from what I have been reading, it might be costly. *fingers crossed*


I'd love to see your shirts! Are they all the same color or different?

The shirts are all a little different. Each kid got to pick the character, dd11-pluto, dd7-thumper and ds4-dash...and then I had Disney Wonder 2010 printed under the picture. All the shirts are white, but dd7 wanted the ragland with pink sleeves (rebel!). Dh got a Captain America shield shirt (I did threaten to put mouse ears on it! lol) and I got a Nightmare before X-mas Jack and Sally shirt. It's girly. I love it. If I can figure out how to post pics I will post one.
:cheer2:
 
Hi everybody! We booked last week! My grandparents are taking our entire family as an early Christmas present- We will have 5 cabins on deck 6! Woo- hoo! I am so excited!
 

The vinylmation mickey is a cool idea! Love it!! I might just get that too,my DD's(7) already have an autograph book signed by all the characters from Disneyland, so this might be a good change.

I am planning on making the T-shirts (a little like yours), i went in and brought transfer paper and white t-shirts for all of us tomorrow. We all want to be different characters and i kept insisting that we should atleast be characters from the same movie :rotfl: so they know we are a family! I am planning to do the same thing like you, incase we turn out to be diff. characters, then it will have one common line on it, "Disney Wonder 2009" or "Our very first cruise on Wonder". I have even requested one of the DISigners to suggest or make something for us from Lion King :D

Magnets are designed (thanks to Jordak) now i just have to print them out, laminate them and stick magnets!! Oh boy oh boy, i again thought i had a lot of time, seems like i really don't. I am not doing the FE as no one seems to have really signed up. May be next cruise ;)
 
Hello all! I just wanted to give a quick update to everyone. I am planning on sending out the info I have to everyone by the end of the week next week for the fish extender exchange. I apologize I can't do it sooner, I own a disaster restoration company in MN and we have had MAJOR flooding and are quite busy at the moment. If you haven't sent me your info yet and want to join in, my email is amy@svmrochester.com. I need names, ages, and cabin #'s if you have them.

Also, we are still planning a meet, greet, and photo op on day one in our cabin at 3pm, 8530, the Roy Disney suite. See you all soon!

Hi Everyone,

I just booked this cruise for a surprise for my DS 12 & DD 7. This will be our first cruise. My husband is unable to make because of work schedule conflicts, so it will be me & da kiddos. Any ideas how I can make this a very memorable cruise. I plan on making shirts and decorating the door..anything else?

I already paid for the flight and the hotel for the night before. I need to decide on transportation, I'm open for advice. My return flight leaves at 1230 on Sunday.

Thanks in advance...

Hi! Welcome. This is our first cruise so I have no advice (!) but I can say that searching the boards for anything you might wonder about will bring up lots of opinions! ;) Can't wait to meet you all.

:yay:
 
Hi everyone,

Up until now i thought i won't be doing the FE exchange. But looks like we might be able to. Can some of you please give me suggestions? This is our very first cruise, so any suggestions are welcome!Thanks

Welcome onboard Mommie2J&L!!

Hello All....My DH and I will be joining you all on this cruise...We booked back in June and I have been reading the forums all day everyday since. I have decided to post now because I am stuck between a rock and a hard place as to whether we will be joining in with the group meet and FE gifts..This is the first cruise for both my husband and I, and we also have a 2 year old son but he will not be joining us on this cruise. We plan on rebooking on board for the same time next year with him along for the DREAMy trip we have planned for then. :cool1: I know for sure we will do the gifts and door magnets next year so our son doesn't feel left out of anything. I think the main reason we are debating on not doing anything this time is because we are not disney fanatics, dont get me wrong, we love Disney and the whole experience but are mainly doing the cruise for a couple reasons, one: seems like a lot of fun and we have always wanted to do one, and two: We have family friends going on this cruise. (piratepam and family) Can anyone else relate to our situation?
 
It's been about 5 months since my last Disney cruise and figured it was time to go again. So, we booked for Nov.

As much as we enjoyed out last alone cruise, DW and I thought we should bring the kids this time. :confused3

Looking forward to getting away from reality for a few days.
 
Welcome FSUdisney, Mommie2J&L, mnrhannah07, and Hodgesda1 and families!!!

We will be cruising next month! But, I will also be cruising on the Magic in 20 days with my DD's m-i-l. :thumbsup2

You may want to consider attending the group meet where we can put faces with names. And you're right, the cruise will be a lot of fun.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks in advance...

Have you decided on your mode of transportation? If you're not comfortable renting a car, you may want to consider DCL transportation or hiring a limo.

Jan
 
Hi JanDave,

I haven't decided yet but its between the DCL or a private service. Thanks for the info.
 
We're staying at BLT before and VWL after the cruise, so DCL buses worked out best for us. Soooo ready for this trip! :santa:
