Chellly - you did mention that before. I just never looked.

Um ... stupid question - how do you edit a previous post like that?

 

[Chelley00]

The bottom right hand corner of your post should say "Quote" and "edit". Click edit and it opens it up so you can change it. You can only edit your own posts.

And how many ways can you say DUH!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone!! Can I join in?
We will be taking our first cruise ever on the Wonder on 11/2/08.
We've done WDW many times but have never cruised before.
Our family includes myself, DH, DD15 (will be 16 at cruise time) and DD12 (will turn 13 the day we board ship)
We are celebrating our 20th Wedding anniversary (10/15/88- a few weeks late), DD's 16th Bday (5 weeks late) and DD's 13th Bday (on her actual Bday 11/2). We will be in cabin 6534.
We all are incredibly excited.
Our plans at this point are to fly to WDW on Fri 10/31 (kids are off from school on 10/31, 11/3, and 11/4 so they will only miss 3 days of school ) go to the MNSSHP (I know I will need to get tix for this ahead of time), not sure about Sat's plans, go to port Sun morning, and then return to WDW until Sat after the cruise. I don't think we'll get a whole lot of park time in, but I am hoping to hop down to WDW in the beginning of Aug w/ just the girls to spend tons of time in the parks. DH needs a WDW break.
In the last few years, we went 3 x in 18 mo and 2 trips were for 9 nights and 1 was for 7, so DH has had his fill for a little while.
Goldeelox9, I see you are from Baltimore. I am from Bel Air. We're already neighbors, kind of.
I am so excited I just can't wait. I keep wishing the year away so Nov will get here quicker. Those of you who have cruised before, did I pick a good cabin, it's a cat 6 w/ verandah? I'm trying to figure out our hotel before & after and whether to get an annual pass if I'm going to get to go in early August. The Nov trip/cruise is adding up pretty fast.
Looking forward to chatting w/ you all soon
Lynn

How our little family is growing!!!

Welcome to our thread Lynn.

We have stayed in a Cat 6 the other 2 times we cruised and LOVED it. People have various opinions of yes or no for the verdana. I can't imagine cruising without one. We spent a lot of time on the veranda our on the 7 day. It's a nice beginning or ending to the day. We did the 3 day for our first cruise and it just wasn't long enough. So good choice on a 4 day. (You'll think it isn't long enough, too!)

We are celebrating our birthdays as well. They will have past by the tmie we set sail, but this is our birthday present to ourselves.

FYI (if you don't already know) it is Food and Wine Festival time in Epcot during your stay. It's a nice change from doing the parks if DH needs a break. We love to eat (and drink) around the world.

Do I talk too much?? I'm just excited about going I have to share my whole life!

TGIF everyone.

Welcome fellow Marylander! You are right sown the hall from us! We have about 30 people going and we will all be on your floor. You will feel right at home!

 

[Chelley00]

I feel left out. My best friend lives in Maryland (I swear!), does that count???

 

[Goldeelox9]

Sure you can join our MD club!

 

[domiii]

NJ is near MD - does that count??

 

[Goldeelox9]

We share the same Ocean!

NJ is near MD - does that count??

Years ago my in-laws lived in NJ. the only reason I would go and visit them was because I loved the malls in/near Jersey where they lived... Cherry Hill, Franklin Mills, King of Prussia (I know that one is PA, but it wasn't very far away), and a couple of others I can't think of right now.
I have to say though, the thing I hate the most about Jersey, Those stinkin' jug handles!!
Thing I like the best, you don't have to pump your own gas like here. (unless that's changed)

BTW... nice to meet you

 

[Goldeelox9]

I LOVE NOT HAVING TO PUMP MY OWN GAS. My Df is from New Jersey and we visit alot! I get gas everytime rather I need it or not!

Well that explains why there were only 6 cabins left (that were cat 6) on this level either side of the ship. 3 were up where we are and the other 3 were in the rear area near the rear elevators. Please excuse my lack of 'nautical' lingo as I am not a 'sea type' person. I don't really like boats so I am hoping that this works out okay for me. and that I don't end up like this

 

[domiii]

Stitchlovestink - are you mid ship or aft? Were were on deck 6 and I really never had a problem. I get sick watching PhilharMagic!!! Bring gingersnaps, they help!!

 

[Goldeelox9]

We are smack dab mid ship!

 

[Chelley00]

Lisa, we're just across the hall and a few doors up from you. That will make it really easy to drop off your FE gifts!!

 

[Goldeelox9]

You are so close! This is getting so exciting I can not wait!

Stitchlovestink - are you mid ship or aft? Were were on deck 6 and I really never had a problem. I get sick watching PhilharMagic!!! Bring gingersnaps, they help!!

Well we aren't quite mid ship. We are about 3 cabins 'behind' the forward elevator lobby. When I look at the map, there are a total of 14 cat 8 & 11 cabins on the same side. We will be the 4th cat 6 cabin w/ the verandah. Learning this nautical lingo is KILLING ME!!

OH!! I LOVE MICKEY'S PHILHARMAGIC!!!! But I have learned that I do need to sit near the middle of the screen or I will get sick from all the movement in my periphial (sp?) vision field. Just like I really need to sit front row on Soarin' or all of the moving dangling feet will make me sick. Don't know or understand why, but it does.

Someone told me to get ginger tablets? Anyone else tried these? Guess it couldn't hurt to bring it all along. Hopefully, I won't need any of it. thanks for the suggestion though.

BTW what is the Fish Extender Gift Exchange! Can someone explain what it is and how it works. I've never heard of something like this before. thanks.

 

[Chelley00]

Here is the post from earlier in the thread regarding fish extenders

Let me know if you all want to do the fish extender gift exchange. If so, I'll edit the first post to include the list

I'm in 6610 (mom and sister's family 6612 & 6614), so there's a lot of us on here on 6! We are aft (near the back elevators).
