October 16, 2011 Mexican Riviera on the Wonder

[Jathanis]

We are only doing the ones that are highlighted in green that say RSVP'd correct?

Just making sure so I don't leave anyone out!

Also, how does it work if for the room that is still GTY?

Yes, we are only doing the green RSVP'd names. I've removed the other two entries for clarity. Both were sent a PM a few weeks back to do one last check if they wanted in, but neither responded. Not that I'm too disappointed - the 36 or 37 we have already is enough for me! As for the one remaining GTY, as soon as Geekbunny finds out what her room number is, she'll let us know. She just posted a week ago (top of last page) that her cruise docs still said GTY...

I included Jenpaige's info on there (the pink highlight at the bottom) just in case anyone wanted to leave the newlyweds any surprises... Not that I had any ideas or anything...

 

[Jathanis]

Just as an FYI to anyone still looking, the Crowne Plaza is still going for $65+tax on Priceline as of 10 minutes ago...

 

[Geekbunny]

Yeah, I just checked the website and it says GTY The moment I find out, I'll post here... I really hope I won't have to wait till cruise time to find out!

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry I have not been online. I would still like to participate but I got the message about needing to know by the 18th which I obviously did not make the cut. I have no Internet and I have been working about 50-60 hours a week and my son is in football. I know, excuses. Can't wait for vacation to begin.

If you can find it in your hearts to still let us join the group I'd be most grateful. I'm a DCL virgin so I'm just trying to learn all this new stuff.

Please accept my apologies for my lack of response earlier, I had too much on my plate and now am in full force cruise mode. I tried to send a PM awhile back and the system said I don't have enough posts to do that. Anyway, let me know.

Well as I read further through the posts I realize that all the FE stuff is totally set and it will be my loss for being a procrastinator. Well I guess this will be a learning experience and I will just watch how it all plays out so I will know for next time.

I will still put out the FE's and I'll put stuff in them for my kids so they don't feel left out.

Thanks for all the hard work everyone has put in to organize all these wonderful things. I hope I will be able to join in if I ever go on another DCL cruise.

We are getting so excited!! Only 3 weeks left to go!

This is our 1st disney cruise and i was wondering if a lot of people will be dressing up for pirate night? We got our 3 year old DD a really cute pirate costume and i'm planning on making something cute for my 7 month old.

Also, those of you who have cruised on disney before, I'm sure there a lot of characters everywhere, but are there a lot of princesses?

There will be meet and greet areas set up in different spots throughout the ship. Your daily navigator will tell you when and where. There is also a number that you can call from your stateroom phone that keeps you up to date on characters.

There will be a scheduled princess session in the atrium with Cinderella and Snow White.

This is from the DCL site:

Although subject to change, Disney Characters during your cruise may include:

Mickey Mouse
Minnie Mouse
Donald Duck
Daisy Duck
Chip & Dale
Goofy
Pluto
Max
Captain Hook
Peter Pan
Lilo
Stitch
Cinderella
Belle
Snow White
Princess Aurora
Princess Tiana
Ariel
Captain Jack Sparrow
Dopey

What night is pirate night and what all is involved?

I looked on past navigators and found Pirate night to be on Thursday night, our first night in Cabo San Lucas. I hear the itinerary usually stays the same on the cruises as it was in the past, so if that is true, then it should be correct. Can't be sure tho...unless maybe calling DCL would get the correct answer??

As far as whats all involved, I'm not sure exactly. This is our very first cruise ever but I hear it is a super fun night with a pirate themed deck party for all guests and the characters come out all decked out in Pirate costumes and stuff! Sorry I couldn't be more help. I'm still a newbie!

I can't believe we sail in three weeks!! I spent most of today working on my FE gifts.

On our October cruise last year on the Wonder, there was a couple times where the lobby was pretty much blocked off, and you got to take pictures with Belle, Snow White, Tiana and Cinderella, one after another:

I'm so sorry you missed out! I was in your exact same position last year when I found the cruise meets section of DIS, and didn't participate for your same reason... Definitely keep it in mind for next time! I think this has been a learning experience for several of us...
