Roll Call: March 14, 04 Disney Wonder

[jujusmom]

We got our docs today! We booked our shore excurions via fax a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything. Should I call??
I guess it's time to get that packing list out! Any good tips on what to bring?

Jujusmom,

You will receive a confirmation in your state room listing all the excursions you have registered for.

hope that helps,
Vivian

Don't know why I didn't find this thread earlier, but glad I'm here now. Got our docs a couple of days ago. There are just the three of us, myself, DW, and DS(11). This will be our second Cruise on the Wonder. First was late March last year. Booked this one while we were on the first one. For all of you first timers I am by no means an expert but if you have any questions I will try to help.

Hi parrothead365

When you went on the cruise last March, how was the weather? Was the water cold?

 

[parrothead365]

The weather was great. It was warm to hot. we were very comfortable in shorts. The water at Castaway was warm also, we floated around in it for awhile. The only bumpy seas we had were going through the Gulf stream and that was not bad at all.

Has anybody started packing??

 

[parrothead365]

Not yet but my DW did buy a couple of new bathing suits I learned my lesson last year. Took DS clothes shopping in Feb and by March he had out grown most of it. We will start packing the first week of March.

Not so much packing - more like throwing handy stuff to take into a pile!

Yahoo!!! My docs came today (or at least mine and DD#1). Everyone else is officially in the cabin across the hall. At least I know I'm going!! It's coming fast now.

Hi Debbie,

Does it mean that all documents for each person may come separately?

I still have not received mine yet

Did you book thru a TA?

 

[debaudrn]

They send them together, but we are booked in two cabins. The documents for each cabin came separately. Counting the days now!

Thanks Debbie.

Hey mkandk, we started packing a few weeks ago. We laid our suitcases on the loft area and put something in every day.

However, one day when I tried to add some more stuff in, I found that one suitcase was full of some toys that my kids tried to hide them in!

They, like their mom, can't wait too!

Have you got your docs yet?

 

[debaudrn]

I haven't started packing yet. DH thinks I'm nuts enough just being on these boards so much. He may have me commited if I pulled out a suitcase just yet! If I'm on the boards and call any of the 3 kids they say "Oh Mom now what... don't you know everything there is to know about the cruise yet?" We watched the Magic and the Wonder sail from Cape Canaveral last weekend!!!

Did you watch the ships sail via the internet? The anticipation is half the fun! I would love for my kids to do that also.

 

[debaudrn]

Yes, there are webcams at Cape Canaveral and Two Palms. You see the ships in port and pulling out at CC and cruising by Two Palms. Not live action though. It is an image updated every six seconds or so. If you blink you can miss it at Two Palms! Here is a link to FL webcams. If you scroll down to the Space Coast ones they are both there. You can then click on each one for a bigger picture.
Have fun. The Magic pulls out at about 5 on Sat. and the Wonder about 5 on Sunday. Have fun.

Here we are:

DSs found out this week! I requested post cards from the thread on this board (Verandah man is so cool!) The received cards from Micket & Captain Hook. Now we are all excited together!!

I also bought 7 days worth of little gifts for them to open the week leading up to the cruise. T-shirts, polos, Micket lollypops (dollar store!), stickers, Disney dollars etc. (all very much on sale!)

So now we have a countdown. Days until the cruise: all of Nate's fingers, all of Drew's fingers, 3 of Mom's fingers and 3 of Dad's fingers. They are 3 & 5 years old so this makes sense to them!

BTW - DS3 LOVES the bouncy guys when I come to this thread!

Does anyone have a 7 yr old DS that doesn't have a brother or buddy going with him? My 7 1/ 2 DS wants to be with big brothers 10 and 12 who will be together. I thought knowing someone else in the same situation would make him feel better.

Hi There,


We have a 6 1/2 year old son, Christopher who is an only and lonely child. Perhaps they can meet up on the ship and become friends in the club?

Thanks
Vivian
