October 5, 2008 Wonder Cruise!

[BCVOwner2002]

Wow, I was so excited to see this thread! We will be sailing with you all. It will be me (Lisa) DH, DS 14, DS 8, DS 5 in Cat 4. Also Mom & SIL in Cat 8. I have gotten such great tips from this website. I wish that I had found it before I booked, oh well I'll jus have to plan another one.

? for those of you with experience. How many people sit at the table for dining? When do you find out about the rotation. My mom & SIL booked later and didn't get the same seating do you think they will move them to our seating? It would be a bummer to not eat dinner together.

Well I'm looking forward to chatting with all of you!

Lisa and aboard! Did Mom & SIL request to be waitlisted to your dining? If not, they should do so ASAP.


It is nice to see more people sailing with us. Annmarie

Welcome! Remember to take advantage of the babysitting services at least one night on your cruise! I say to splurge for that adult night out!

This is our third trip on the Wonder too! After our last cruise in 2006 we talked about going on a 7-night cruise but then decided to go on the Wonder again. Also, DH didn't want to rent a tux for formal night on the Magic so we had planned a cruise for this September. Then DH won a 4-night cruise for four people that had to be taken this year so we moved the September cruise to next year and added our DGS.

We have never had dinner in Palo but have gone there for brunch which was amazing. We will probably try to do that again this trip. Are you planning to spend any time at WDW before or after the cruise? We own DVC (hence my name ) so we are going to spend two nights at BCV after the cruise.

Does anyone have any high schoolers going along? We are bringing our 15 (will be 16 in Nov) and our 13 yr old DD's with us. The 13 year old sounds like she'll have plenty of company in the clubs but I'm afraid our older DD will be resorting to sunning herself the whole cruise. Anyone?

 

[j_cwayman]

So how many cruise does this make for everyone? This is DW and our 3rd and can't wait to see the CM's interact with ds who woill be 5 months old. I can't belive we have 110 days before we are cruisng the ocean blue!!! Can't wait to book Palo's and get some of that soufle lol! Day dreaming every day!!

Sorry, none here! (Though sometimes my fiance may act like one...)

This is my second cruise and my fiance's first. Hopefully not his last. 110 days? That's it?! All I know is that my 90 day mark is July 7th.
Is it still midnight of July 6th that we can reserve Palo? Do they offer spa reservations in advance too? I've been growing my hair out for the wedding and will want it cut ASAP once we get on the ship...

My DS will be 14 in Aug. He is not in high school yet though, he is going into 8th. This is his 2nd cruise, but first on DCL. It sounds like he will be pleasantly surprised by all of the teen activities.

This will be our first DCL cruise -- well, first cruise EVER for DH, DS, and my mom - I've done a 3 night Carnival cruise to Mexico, but that was over 10 years ago, so everything will be new to me

Just want to wish BCVOwner2002 a speedy recovery.My good friend and your fellow cruiser is home recovering from back surgery! I'm sure she will be checking in here to see what's up.Get better and stronger soon!!!

 

[heatherplus3]

Hey guys! Woo Hoo, how exciting to see all these disers! I feel like I need to re-introduce myself, as there are so many new shipmates. DH and I , DS6 and DD3 will be sailing on the Wonder in 107 days. (Not that I am keeping track) We (and I completely mean, me) are so excited to be able to book excursions this weekend. I am actively obsessing over our pirate night attire. Will post my findings!

Take care all and good luck passing the time!

Kate! Today was the first day I started feeling better and I over did it. I walked (using my cane) from the bedroom through the living room into the kitchen, into the dining room and out onto the deck and all the way down the end and back. I should've opened the slider by the bedroom but didn't think that far ahead. By the time I got back Tom asked what I was doing and I told Tom I was "walking the mile . . . walking the mile" and Tom said be glad it's not The Geen Mile cuz we all know where that leads!

Any way, it took me about 15 minutes to walk that far! I need to rest so that I'll have strength in October. No bumpy rides at WDW or for me but hopefully, plenty of at CC.
