NOw that we're within a year, thought I'd bump

 

[Rpsemont]

Still no one else?

 

[ggreitz]

We will also be on that cruise. There will be five of us: Myself, my wife, DS(13), DS (11) and our DD who turns 2 on November 11th while at sea! At least that will be their ages at the time of the trip.

This is our second cruise. We were on a four day Wonder cruise in April 2005. Due to the schools here in NJ being so tough when you try to take older children out for a few days, I thought a quick trip while schools were closed might be just what the Doctor ordered!

With a little luck I can talk my wife into a seven day cruise sometime in the future. Maybe 2007 or 2008...wish me luck.

Hope to see more posts by people who will be joining us on.

Hello!

We are on this cruise also - we're from the UK but getting married in Florida on the 6th November, and this our thank you present to DD who will be 7 by then for being our bridesmaid and a wonderful daughter!

It will be our first cruise, so I'm avidly looking at these boards to get all the tips I can.

I'm really excited, we've never cruised before - I just have a feeling it's going to become something we love, and it's a bit of an expensive habit to have!

Congratulations!!! Will it be a Disney wedding?

DH and I will be at WDW beginning 11/4. We love the F&W Festival at Epcot. DD (age 11) will arrive with BIL probably on Tuesday 11/7 in the evening. BIL is not going on the cruise. When we return from the cruise we're going to head back to WDW for one more day and probably fly home on MOnday.

 

[kristieuk]

No, it's not a Disney wedding - we're getting married on the beach on Anna Maria Island on the 6th, then cruise on the 9th, and then back to Anna Maria until 21st Nov. Can't wait now!!

 

[Rpsemont]

This seemed to "fall of" the board, so thought I'd bump.
Anyone else out there?

 

[belle26]

We'll be there also, DH and myself, along with friends who will be taking their first cruise ever.

 

[Mint Addiction]

We'll be there, Me, DH, DS(10), DD(8)...Anyone else?

 

[wasmws]

Count us in too!!! DH, myself, DD (9) and DS (6) will be spending a few days a WDW with the in-laws before switching to the cruise on the 9th. This is our very first Disney vacation and we are sooooo excited.

 

[Mint Addiction]

We'll be leaving the Va Beach area in Virginia on Nov 4th. We'll be at Pop Century Nov 5th, check out morning of the 9th. Then drive to Cape Canaveral for the 3 day cruise. Our first cruise, we are sooooo excited too. The dinner ressies have been made at the four theme parks and we are all set to goooo......

 

[manddholloway]

Anyone else on this 3 day veterans day cruise? It will be our first.
Me. DH and DD (11)

11/9/06 Wonder will be our first too. It will be MH, DH and SH (9). Wow! I didn't even think about it being Veterans. In New Jersey the weekend is the time of year everyone heads to Florida. Its teacher's convention in New Jersey.

Hello NJ neighbor. We are taking advantage of the Teacher's Convention weekend too. It will be myself (MH), my husband DH and SH (9). It won't be long now.

 

[belle26]

We're from NJ too! Teacher's convention is a great time for an escape! I keep a card that has the days of convention for the next 5 years or so, just in case we decide to book another cruise while we're there!

 

[JerseyBelle]

Thought I'd Bump.

There has to be more than 5 families on the November 9th Wonder because we couldn't get the early dinner seating. For us it will DH, myself and DD (9). Any other DDs age 9 for my DD to hang out with in the Oceaneer Lab?

Hi JerseyBelle,
Our DD is 9 and will be looking for friends

 

[JerseyBelle]

Hi JerseyBelle,
Our DD is 9 and will be looking for friends

Great! I am glad to hear there will be DDs her age. Just a little over two and 1/2 months left to wait.

 

[Rpsemont]

So now that we're inside the 75 day mark - anyone made any plans?
I've changed Palo reservations twice. With it being our first cruise, so hard to figure out if/when to leave DD(11) on her own for dinner (or for us to eat two meals) and if /when to miss one of the shows. I already know there aren't enough "nights" on this cruise.

Still undecided about what to do in Nassau. I know DH will want to hit the casino for awhile.

I did book the eco tour on Castaway Cay

Now I just need to find time to start reading all the material I've been printing off this site for the last few months.

Also, anyone else visiting F&W before the cruise?

As I stated in the thread before, it is also our first cruise. We booked Palo for Saturday Night. Wasn't sure either but just picked something and went with it.

We are doing the Rose Island Beach and Snorkeling Experience in Nassau. Tried to get information on the board about this activity and received very few responses. The responses were positive. The description on website sounds good and I think we are going to be happy with picking this excursion.

In Castaway Cay we booked the package that includes, snorkeling, stingray encounter, float rentals and bike rentals. We won't be able to do it all, but it is less expensive than the separate items.

I've been addicted to the DISBoard since booking our cruise a little over a month ago so I have been devouring all kinds of information.

Happy planning.
