OCTOBER 23RD 2005 - 4-Day Wonder - 102305 - 10232005 - 20051023

Hi Lissisuarez:

We're here. I'm sure the weather will be just fine for the cruise. Keep a positive attitude. We are not planning on dressing up for Pirates night. DH is not a "dress up" kind of guy. Probably just "tropical" type shirts.
This is our first cruise of any type. We have been to WDW many times though, and we're adding a few days there at the end of the cruise. Oct 23rd can't get here soon enough.

Kris

99 days till we leave for our 30th Anniversary 4-day Wonder cruise and a few days at PO-R

I was planning on having the boys wear tropical shirts that night and then getting some pirate accessories for them at the local party store. I haven't decided how me and DH will dress.

 

[lissisuarez]

Well I am defenetly going to dress up the kids, me and my husband probably will too, I just don't know what yet, I have to go to party city and see what they have .

 

[Admiral Boom]

Attention.

WE ARE NOW DOUBLE-DIGIT DANCING! ! !

 

[Henlady]

Yes we ARE!!!!!!!!!!

 

[3boysmomma]

I better start packing Honestly, I think packing will be the hardest part since we are spending 4 days prior to the cruise at POR. I have already begun shopping for the cruise and buying small toys to keep the boys busy on the plane. I having been going to the Disney store once a week to add to our collection of WDW attire

 

[lissisuarez]

Hi everyone 3 months to go we can't wait.

 

[Admiral Boom]

ATTENTION
=========

Secret Porthole Room = 5520 - Starboard side IS NOW AVAILABLE!

We upgraded to 7620 which is one of the Secret Verandah rooms. It's basically a Cat 5 reclassified as a Cat 7.

Someone go get this room (5520) -- it is a CATEGORY 9 for the price of a CATEGORY 10!

[3boysmomma]

I'm anxiously awaiting August 9th ay 12:01 am to make my Palo reservations and massage appointments (guess that I better sign the boys up for the clubs too!) I wasn't sure if Palo bruch was available on the 4 day I'm so glad to see that it is Does anyone know how I would book reservations for my parents too for Palo? I assume that I need their reservation # but how about having them "linked"so that we sit together? Or on second thought maybe DH should go alone

so exciting! we'd love to meet up. (in between all the honeymoon stuff, of course.)

Hey, you've gotta do what you've gotta do.

What stateroom did you get? What category?

Maybe consider the romantic escape at sea add on - it's $339. for the package and includes couples well-being massage, romantic turndown service, champagne breakfast, box of chocolates, palo dining fee, etc. In addition, rather than having to wait till the 75 day mark to make your online reservations (and I do recommend you do that especially for Palo) you will be able to do it immediately (as long as you're paid off) since we're within 105 days of sailing right now.

Congrats.

i just realized my freudian misspelling up there. "bored" instead of "board."
i'm obviously at work.

we booked through small world vacations and requested a category 12. we're just getting started and between our student loans and our frantic search for new jobs in a new city, we don't have a lot (or any) to spare on bigger rooms/extras. i've read about the romance package and it sounds so nice. maybe we'll do it on an anniversary. we can definitely afford the chocolate covered strawberries and champagne for our room, though. and we're both interested in the rasul bath.

the travel agent said we wouldn't know the room number till closer to the date. i'm not worried about it, though. after all of the stress of wedding planning, i'd be satisfied with a walk-in closet with an air mattress. (as long as we'd be all by ourselves and far away.)

 

[Admiral Boom]

Sadly you won't get a walk in closet. If you can't do the REAS package, make sure you book Palo at precisely 75 days out at 3am Eastern Time. That way you'll be guaranteed a spot for a romantic dinner.

With regard to the CAT 12 - there is a decent chance you may be upgraded since there are only 12 cat 12 rooms on board. So, cross your fingers for a porthole!

Do some searching in the main forum on the rasul. From what I hear the room is ultra hot and steamy and while it sounds naughty and romantic, some apparantly get in there and sit as if its a sauna because its too hot to move. DW and I opt for the couples well-being massage.

 

[Henlady]

Welcome KristenCheeks and contratulations on your upcoming nuptuals.
DH and I will be celebrating our 30th Anniversary on this cruise. Wish you a long and happy life together - it goes by quickly.

We are booked in one of the "secret porthole" rooms on deck 5.
This is also our first cruise ever. Can't wait.
I'm sure you'll need the relaxation of the cruise after all the wedding planning.

Would enjoy getting a meet together to get to know all the other "dis'ers".

81 days till we leave for our 30th Anniversary 4-day Wonder Cruise and then a few days at PO-R

 

[3boysmomma]

Anyone else anxious to make their reservations for Palo? I am still not sure what night to make them for. I remember reading somewhere what the typical rotation is if you are travelling with kids but can't seem to find it when I need it I definetly don't want to make them for Tuesday because I am pretty sure that it is Pirate's Night (am I right?) and know that Sunday is not a good one for us. Who knows, when I go to book I may not be able to be so picky

 

[KristenCheeks]

jason's in charge of booking after midnight. so excited. i hope everything works out. we're just shooting for a 6:00 seating on any night -- preferably the last, so we have something super nice to end the honeymoon with -- but any other time is fine, too.

our regular dining seating is 8:30, and we're greedy double dippers.
