Do we still need to have 10 posts to be eligible (seems like I Saw something about that on an earlier post)?

Yes and you are almost there, only 2 more to go!

I'd like to join a group if not too late! We have 2 adults and 2 kids. Thanks in advance for any feedback (I don't check here as often as I should!)

I will send you a pm for your info as we are keeping most of it private.

OK, I'll start searching for our fish extenders!

 

[ptcruisers]

This will make my 10th post - Yay!! Any suggestions to find Fish Extenders?

 

[ptcruisers]

Huskiesrule, how do I private message you with information you need?

Our family consists of DW, DH, DD 3 1/2, DD 1 1/2, DGM (Darling Grandma)

 

[Huskiesrule]

Huskiesrule, how do I private message you with information you need?

If you click on my name a box will come up and one of the options is to start a conversation. All I need to know is who is in each room(don't need real names), ages of any kids, room # and an email to send the list to. Optional info is any allergies and favorite characters. I will send you a pm, you just have to reply.

You can buy them off Ebay, Etsy or Amazon. There are also instructions out there on making them. I have seen everything up including just a shopping bag.

It's nice to see more folks joining us on the cruise! We have an appointment scheduled for our daughter's passport photo and application acceptance, so that one is sort of checked off my list of things to do. I've ordered a pocket to be attached to our FE, so that our daughter can join in on the fun. I plan on doing our own birthday party decorations for her, so that it'll be cheaper and more personalized than the ones that you can buy through DCL. Now I'm just sort of rambling... Happy Saturday and one more day closer to our cruise!

 

[Huskiesrule]

And Happy Saturday back. I just got back from shopping for more FE stuff. You would think I have enough by now but I always seem to need(want) more. Oh well, 2 carry ons later I think I am finally done barring anyone else leaving the cruise.

Since we are keeping most info private you will have to be at 10 posts so I can pm you. Feel free to post here or http://www.disboards.com/forums/test-board.88/ to get your number up.

Just saw how many posts I have and not that I'm superstitious but it seemed like a bad number, sorry for a random post

No problem. I would probably do the same thing. Some numbers just don't create happy thoughts. However the happy number for us is 7 right now. Only 7 days till we can book our excursions, Palo, etc. DD doesn't want to miss any of the MDR dinners so looks like we're going to do a brunch at Palo. We've done that before with a group and it was fun. We just decided it would be easier to coordinate Kids Club for 5 year old and nursery for 21 month old around brunch on a sea day. Countdown is down to double digits. Whoo Hooo.

Enjoy that age where she still wants to be seen with you, let alone eat with you. Soon enough she will be wanting nothing to do with anyone but her friends

The little ones are our grand girls (thank goodness). We're retired and even the idea of being full time parents is scary but as of now the grand girls LOVE spending time with Nana and Pops and we love having them - as long as we can give them back. DD, SIL and the girls are in one sideways Cat 11 and we will be in the one next door.

I always used to say that about taking my nephews to WDW, I was good for a week and then they could go home. I have heard good things about the sideways rooms but an inside stateroom is something I have never done. I'm not claustrophobic but I need(I think) a window. A balcony is even better as I love just sitting out there and hearing the ship go through the water. And now I really want to be on a cruise!

 

[PlanoNana]

Once we're finally on the ship we'll have to find some time to show you the sideways room. I think it's the best value for the money and I'd rather spend my money on other stuff since we're usually only in the room to sleep. And we're used to small. Our 17 ft. Casita travel trailer that we spent over 100 nights in last year is smaller than the Cat 11 cabin on the Wonder.

 

[Huskiesrule]

Well, I don't know about value for the price paid but we're in a concierge 1 bedroom. I fully intended to just book a balcony but mom wanted more space. As long as I got my own bathroom I didn't argue cause I loved the suites on the Dream. Now if they just put in a concierge lounge during dry dock

We've stayed in almost every category of stateroom (except concierge suites), and we've enjoyed them all. Our favorite is probably the deck 5 aft navigators verandas on the classic ships. I don't think we've stayed in a sideways room...
