October 11th-14th (Wonder) 3 night

[rkbrannin]

We filled out most of our travel documents online as well. The emergency contact and payment forms were two that we did online. The cruise contract was something we read online, but are under the understanding that we have to print that out, sign it and bring it with us when we check in. Is that right? We got the same booklet that you described and also the Bahamas travel form.

DH and I are so excited we can hardly contain ourselves. Being are first ever cruise, we are eagerly counting down the days!!

 

[InsanelyMickey]

Yes, there is a page you can print from the website for the cruise contract and both of you will need to sign it and then bring it to the terminal when you check in. At the time you check in, you'll present those Bahamas Immigration forms, the cruise contract signature page, your passports, and the credit card you'll be using for your account (if you chose to do so). In return, you'll get your Key to the World card (in this case I guess it should be Key to the Ship card ) and a Welcome Aboard information sheet and a little card showing what time to expect your stateroom to be ready. Then you're free to enjoy the beautiful terminal until it's time to board the ship through those big beautiful yellow Mickey ears!! Ok, so that's a tad more information than you requested - sorry I got a little carried away there I was on my own little virtual cruise dreaming about the moment of checking in for our cruise

hello everyone, No hopefully they will arrive tomorrow.
My sister got a call today that she too got an upgrade
There is a lot of activity going on in the tropics.
never been on a cruise during the "H" season.
We will be fine

 

[InsanelyMickey]

Wow, great news on the upgrades. But I'm sorry you still don't have your docs, maybe they'll arrive just in time for the weekend Yes, there IS a lot of activity out there; it will be interesting as Oct 11 gets closer to see what's happening, or not happening as I hope the case will be, out in the tropics. We've never cruised during "H" season either but a couple years ago when we cruised in early December, we had 20-22 ft seas - this was the only time DH and I experienced seasickness but it was also a time we didn't take dramamine so I will definitely be prepared two weeks from now Two weeks! Wow that sounds great!

 

[Linda Gardner]

we did get our doc on that Friday.ha
Now only about one week

 

[InsanelyMickey]

8 more days! I can't wait.

Linda, I'm so glad your docs arrived - kinda makes it seem more "official" now, doesn't it?

So, will DH and I be the only ones at the terminal as soon as it opens I remember for the last cruise I came home from work the night before we sailed and asked if we could just go camp out in our car at the port until morning

--> This is what I look like as I (try to) wait patiently to board the Wonder

 

[Linda Gardner]

At the terminals at the 10am mark. We don't mind sitting around waiting and checking out everything. But I don't think we will be camping out. We will be meeting my mom so that she can pick up our little 5 lb/5year old
Pomeranian. She is our baby, and must be taken well care of. I think I will start packing tomorrow.We have a crazy week in front of us and i want to get the packing thing out of the way.

 

[rkbrannin]

DW and I are ready to go!! Even though our land and sea package starts on Sunday, we are more excited about the cruise part that starts this coming Thursday!! Hip, Hip, Hooray...

 

[InsanelyMickey]

rkbrannin- Have a safe trip. The first time we did the Disney Cruise it was also a land/sea! Actually that was my first ever Disney trip back before we moved down here. If you see a woman walking around the terminal looking like this with Mickey ears and Mickey tshirt, come say hello

Linda - I'll be sure to be on the lookout when the terminal opens for a large group of excited cruisers And as I said above, if you see this crazy woman wandering the terminal in her Mickey ears and Mickey tshirt who's sure to be carrying her camera waiting for Captain Mickey to make his appearance, (while her DH will most likely be seated somewhere off to the side reading a book) please say hello I'm thinking of starting my packing soon also. I almost always wait until the night before, but would like to at least have some done before the work week starts. Then again, packing the night before does give me something to do with all that energy from impatient anticipation for the cruise

 

[InsanelyMickey]

Getting close!! And I haven't started packing yet! My plan is to get it all done tomorrow night so I don't have to pack last minute again, but we'll see how that plan works

I watched the Wonder sail away on the webcams yesterday and was so excited to think we'd be boarding when it returns
