Hey every one only 594 days!!!!!!!!

 

[pandamom]

Welcome wdwdclfan!!!

Now it's only 593 days to our cruise!

Hope everyone is doing well. Weather is finally changing here and actually had a couple of days in the low 70's -- woo hoo! Springtime at last.

 

[wdwdclfan]

How many days until we sail?

How many days until we sail?

Too many!!!!

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter Weather turned cold here -- actually have snow flurries today! Wishing I was on Castaway Cay right now....

For crying out loud, it's snowing like mad in Chicagoland. However, the dogs barking brought DH to the door where our cruise docs for our May 6 Wonder cruise had arrived, so now I'm just thinking palm trees! We have found the easiest way to fill the long gaps between trips on Magic are short trips on Wonder! We love them both. After the Wonder cruise we are taking our first trip "home" as DVC owners...we bought at Saratogo Springs and Animal Kingdom but have decided to take our first DVC trip to the first DVC and are staying at Old Key West. I'm sure we'll rebook something else onboard, hoping for another 10 day southern caribbean to appear eventually that we can switch it to!

Somewhere in the Magic Kingdom, in Orlando, at this very moment, someone is having a Dole Whip. Counting the days until that person is me!

For crying out loud, it's snowing like mad in Chicagoland.

We're in Chigagoland also -- what is up with this weather?!?! Raining now for us but snow covered the ground when I woke up this morning.

Congratulations on getting your Wonder cruise docs!!!! Please have an All Hands on Deck cheese platter for me! Wish we could do that this year -- trying to fit in a trip to WDW in December instead.

Just wanted to bump this back up and say "Hi" to everyone -- hope everything is going well!!!

 

[GoofyFD]

Bump!!! Is there anyone ready to go?

 

[pandamom]

We are! We are! LOL

What is everyone looking forward to doing on the cruise?

I want to go to a sitdown breakfast and get eggs benedict (my favorite) -- for some reason the only sitdown breakfast we did last time was the character one.

Doing more of the scheduled family games/events -- seemed like there were a lot of time conflicts last cruise.

Sitting on the verandah late at night w/a cheese platter.

Relaxing on deck with the kids in the Mickey Pool.

Seeing the fairly constant excitement on the kids faces.

Having lunch -- so busy last time only did lunch 2x.

Sitting on the verandah as the ship goes in/out of port.

Snorkling at Castaway Cay.

etc, etc, etc.

 

[GoofyFD]

That sounds soooooo good. I just love spending time with my family with no worries. O ya and the Bahamamamas!!!!!

 

[GoofyFD]

Bump!!!

 

[GoofyFD]

Anyone ready to cruise? I am!!!! I want to be on board right now! I hope you all had a great Mothers day!

 

[pandamom]

Wish I was onboard too! We received our new Castaway Club cards in the mail today -- too bad we won't get to use them right away.

Hoping everyone is doing fine!

 

[GoofyFD]

Well it's in the high 80's here. I wish I was at CC sipping a cold drink on the beach.

 

[mrsv98]

Woo Hoo we rolled over another tick on the calendar!
15 months 4 weeks!

 

[GoofyFD]

ONLY....473 days!!!!!!!

 

[faireygod mother]

Just stopped in to let you know we are on board as well.

We have a huge group and plans are still unfinished.

So far, It will be Dh, myself, 2 DS and their families, friends and in laws.


Pandamom I think we were on the dbl dip at the same time.

 

[Stitch's O'hana]

My mom and I will be on board, we can't wait!!!!!! This will be our 2nd time one the Disney Cruise, but our first time being on the Magic. Our first DCL was back in Sept. 2000 on the Disney Wonder!

We already have it all booked, did that back in April of this year!
