November 25th, 2016 - Black Friday on the Wonder

[hamm1207]

I don't have personal experience but our 21 month old DGD is lactose intolerant and DD has already checked on the availability of Lactaid. DD provided specific instructions on her nursery reservation that they ONLY feed her liquids that mom provides since she only drinks a little water and half honey thinkened Lactaid. DD will be getting the Lactaid and then adding the thickener and taking that to the nursery.

I found this on the Guest Services section on the DCL website under Special Dietary Requests
"Disney Cruise Line offers gluten-free, vegetarian, no sugar added, dairy-free and lighter offerings on all of our table-service restaurant menus."
Also the line "Once aboard the ship, food allergies should be brought to the attention of your Head Server."

I bet you won't have any problems. She's little. She'll just eat what you offer to her. She'll do fine.

Thanks! She'll be turning one on the cruise. Im hoping to introduce her to coconut milk and almond milk about two weeks before so she'll have something other than water and breastmilk to drink. She currently eats whatever we eat (provided it's non dairy), so I think she'll be fine. I need to go back into our reservation and add the allergy. The kids staff does a wonderful job, so I'm not too concerned.

Getting excited about finally focusing on this trip. It appears for us first timers, 8 days from now, we can sign-up for various things online. First, I understand I will need my travel documents handy (passport) when checking in. Then, just want to make sure I have some details correct:
Things that I will sign up for online:

• Port Arrival Time
• Character breakfast
• Select character meet 'n greets
• Daily rainforest pass

Things I could sign up for online, but am choosing not to:

• Disney backed excursions
• Specialty restaurants
• Royal tea
• BBB (boutique)
• I'm sure there's a million more things that could go here

Things that will be done once on ship:

• Sign up for mixology classes

Thoughts?

If you are going for the earliest PAT you can skip the passport, mark birth certificates and go back and correct the info later. You will have to decide which is more important to you as you sign up for stuff in one section and do online check in(PAT) in another. Up to you if you want to stay up until midnight eastern time to start everything. You will have to check the Navigator to see about mixology times as they do more than one.
Make sure when all your info is correct to print out the sheets at the end of check in. Bring them with you to the port cause if you forget it will take you longer to check in. Last cruise I was next to a couple who had forgotten all their papers - I got boarding group 3 and they ended up in 12. Little things can delay you getting on the ship!

what is the Royal Tea, and where do i find it?

 

[Huskiesrule]

what is the Royal Tea, and where do i find it?

I could be wrong but I thought the Fantasy was the only ship with that? I'm not sure if they do a tea on the Wonder although that may change after the dry dock.

 

[cruisecrasher]

Just came from the pediatrician..no dairy allowed for our tiny human. Looks like I'll be filling out the allergy form for DCL. Does anyone have any experience cruising with a milk allergy?

I've done several cruises with our daughter before we could reintroduce dairy and I'm vegan. They are fabulous!

Yep. It's currently Fantasy only.

Cool. I talked to the DCL folks and added the allergy to our reservation. The DCL rep said that they offer almond milk and rice milk. Any idea if they offer alternative yogurts?

Our daughter's FE pocket came in the mail today!! Now I just have to attach it onto our current FE.

 

[Huskiesrule]

Hopefully the last of the FE gifts I ordered come in the mail this week and then I need to pack it all up for a trip to Texas. Now if I can just stay out of stores and forget Etsy exists I will be good to go for the cruise!

Good luck with forgetting that Etsy exists! I still need to do our embarkation day t-shirt shopping there, as well as birthday shopping and cruiseware for our daughter shopping...

Yeah, no special t-shirt for embarkation. I so don't want to match with my mother! Love her, but no. The only reason I can share a room with her is I get my own bathroom-priorities .
In other news - only 11 more Monday's until we cruise. I would say time is flying by but it's not

We usually just wear cruise shirts on embarkation day, but being that this is squirt's first cruise, I thought it might be nice to match. Maybe I'll save us some money and just get her a shirt...

2 bathrooms is a must!
