November 4th, 2007 Disney Wonder Roll Call

[drc712]

Steph,
We are in room 6572.
Yes, you can get water bottles on board, but you have to pay $$. I don't know the cost, but not too, too bad.
There are always free sodas, juice, coffee and tea up at the pool deck 24 hours a day.

 

[drc712]

We can be at the port anytime. We live very close. If anyone needs any local info, feel free to ask and I'll try to help!

Hoogy
Where are you staying in Cocoa Beach? We're at the Four Points - Sheraton,
right next to the Ron Jon Surf Shop (DH loves that store).


Steph: On our cruise in Oct 05, my friend who was travelling with us took some wine along. Our room steward kindly provided us with wine glasses and one evening, we weren't finished with our glasses of wine before we went to supper so we took them along. There was never any question from our servers about us bringing our full glass with us, and no extra charge for it and I didn't notice anyone giving us any strange looks, not that it would have mattered if they did. If we had brought the bottle, that would have been a different story. If I remember correctly we took along our glasses of wine the next night too.

Hi Everyone! We should be at the port about noon - arriving via the DCL transport from BC. Wow, we are really getting excited! DH and myself have been counting down the days since Jan.'07 (49 days till WDW and 53 days till boarding the Wonder!)

ChrisLei,
Oh my goodness GURL, you like to write!! I clicked on your "pre-trippie and past trips" and after all that "Disney" talk I'm even more excited about my up coming vacation! I enjoyed the posts! You have a beautiful family.

 

[drc712]

Hi Zak's pack! How old are your kids??

 

[drc712]

Sorry Zak's pack......I found your old post and realized your leaving the Grandkids at home. A Disney vacation for the BIG Kids, Hugh!!!

THank you DRC!

I do love to write. I am hoping once the trip is over I can print the whole pretrip and trip report and attach it to my scrapbook! LOL So much fun to relive the Disney magic once we get Disney withdrawal.

Hi drc712!
Nice to hear from you. Mother of the granddaughters is "Ms. Disney" herself! She's 33 and the kids are 12 and 7 - they have been to WDW every year since they've arrived on this earth, as well as DL 3 times! We wanted to bring them along, but hard to get the kids out of school at that time. They go in the summer (just there in July) - too hot for us "old folks"!!! So it definitely is a trip for the big kids this time!

 

[Henlady]

Big Kids Rule!!!!!!!!!
Don't you just love being one of them.

We will be taking the "little" big kids on a trip to the world next September, along with the new little kid. Can't wait for that trip. I love traveling with the kids.

 

[Henlady]

Ok kiddos, who has started packing? Putting those little things you know you'll need into the suitcase or carryon? Started stacking up the clothes you know you'll be taking and probably won't need before the cruise? Got those extra toiletries put away??.

I'm guilty

 

[Zak's Pack2]

Haven't actually put them in the bags yet, but the stuff is purchased and ready to go. My husband keeps buying shirts, though!! Anyone else out there from New Jersey taking the Olympic Airporter Shuttle to Newark on Halloween?

 

[ChrisLei]

I have all the items in a Rubbermaid bin. Mainly tshirts we have purchased at the Disney store...bathing suits, sunblock.

We WERE going to take the Olympic Shuttle but my FIL is driving us there now. What time is your flight?

OMG, I have an idea of what we are bringing on our trip but I haven't even started. I am getting scared. I should start soon.

 

[Henlady]

HaHa - No need to be scared Steph..... I start putting stuff up for packing early because I'm obsessive like that. I set things aside as I think about them....I'm getting old you know and the brain only holds so much.
I won't actually pack the clothes till the night before. I keep a bag that I take along on all of our trips that has all those little "necessities" that I know I will absolutely need (and never do). I keep adding to it, then a couple of days before the trip, I go thru it and wonder why I ever put in some of the stuff I did.

Well, just when I thought I could start packing, we have all this wonderful weather in the forecast! I am guessing that I will start my official packing the weekend of the 6th or so.

Just to get you all a little more excited.....I went to the port the day to enjoy the florida sunshine and was lucky enough to catch the Magic pulling out for it's one week cruise (lucky dogs!). My DD3 wasn't really happy about smiling for the camera, but the ship was filled with smiling, screaming people!!! Can't wait until it's us on that ship!!!http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/showphoto.php/photo/21001
