Sailing August 20th 2009- Feeling Lonely

[addicted_to_WDW]

Add us to the list.

We were originally scheduled for the 6/18/09 Wonder but decided to spend that time at WDW so we switched the cruise til 8/20/09. Traveling will be my DH (52), me (Jennifer, 40) and our DS (15). This will be our second cruise on the Wonder.

After a huge mix up with DVC.... We're in!! There will be 7 of us! 1st Cruise for the 7. Sister and her family also going, so really 10 of us! They have cruised 6 or 7(?) times before. Been to WDW many times but never on the cruise! Don't know what to expect on the cruise, but going with the flow! Should be fun!

Hello!
We were able to confirm our bounceback for this cruise, so the trip is ON!!!
Booked our pre-cruise stay at the Radisson Resort at the Port today (and booked a shuttle time) - can't wait!!

We just finished booking ours as well. There will be 10 of us total

We too are staying at the Raddison At The Port with the cruise parking package.

See you all there............

Count us in too! There's 10 of us in our group.

Myself, DH, DD-13, DD-8, DD-2, Nephew-5, Niece-13, DSister, Friend and Friends DS-11.

It's our 3rd cruise, Sisters & Nephew's 2nd, Niece, Friends and FDS 1st!

We are all excited. So far we've only done Members Only cruises so I'm really excited about our stop in Nassau. So far it's only been determined that some of us will do the Dolphin Swim at Blue Lagoon but some will be observers.

Look forward to getting to know all of you!

Hi there...

I'm definately going parasailing on Castaway Cay...and hopefully snorkeling. We're getting married on Nassau day, so I'm not sure of what my timelines will be like, but I hope to get to Atlantis.

YAY! Congrats on the wedding plans.

Hello!
Just checking in - how is everyone's trip planning going? We are starting to think about excursions - definitely heading to Atlantis for the day, and as far as CC, I think we'll just book stuff when we get there. We aren't opposed to being a couple of beach bums for the day, so we don't want to schedule anything in the event that we just want to explore at our own pace that day. We definitely want to check out Serenity Bay (couldn't do it on the last cruise because we had DD(3) and DS(1) in tow), and might try to book a massage. Have any of you been to Atlantis before? Anything not to miss? I had thought about hitting the straw market, but I have heard some mixed reviews. I am also hearing that the ship has been staying in port until 2 am at times? Any chance that might happen for us? That might be neat!

Hope you are all enjoying the pre-cruise phase! We keep talking about it on a daily basis - we refer to it as "our trip to the dentist" - can't let DD know we're going without her, or we will be in BIG trouble! lol!

I'd like info on Nassau and Atlantis as well. We've never been either. So far only memebers only cruises and they stopped at Key West once but otherwise just CC.

I can definitely say being a beach bum at SB is WONDERFUL!!!!! DH and I fell asleep in one of the hammocks for a few hours. It was soooo peaceful. I'm just glad we woke up in time to get back on the boat. We haven't done massages but I heard they are nice.

102 days ahhhhhhh now this trip is starting to come into focus. Almost time to book Palo

Hello All,

I was wondering if any one be interested on doing a Fish Extender exchange. The reason it is called fish extender is because you hang some sort of hanging organizer on the Fish Hanger outside your cabin door. Here is a little more information regarding the exchange.

*Fish Extenders Gifts – Any small to medium sized item you like. Maybe something like pencil with your state on it, small note pads, playing cards, kids toys, etc. Most people will bring something that represents where they are from. You can choose how often (once, daily, etc) you would like to distribute your gifts...there is not hard set rule for what you give, how often you give or anything, it is all up to what you want to do.

Process: I would compile a list with Name, Room Number, Number of adults, Number of kids and hand out at a DIS meet on the ship to those participating. You could PM me this info. DIS Meet location TBD.



Please let me know if you would like to participate. I've been a part of something like this in the past and it really is a lot fun to come back to your room and find something there. The kids love it! You will definitely get a chance to possibly see every deck.

We are under 100 days til we cruise........................

 

[addicted_to_WDW]

I'm not crafty enough for a fish extender exchange, but I'll be with you in spirit.

I just transferred the final payment money out of my savings account and into checking...NOW it is all real to me. I'm starting to get psyched!

 

[Eeyores#1Fan]

LOL! I'm not crafty either. I purchase my items. hehehehehe......

Has anyone finalized their plans..palo, excursions, etc.?

I just made my final payment so I can book excursions and whatnot tomorrow (90 days out) but I still have no idea what I want to do. We're not big fans of Nassau and I'm thinking of just staying onboard and enjoying the ship that day. We may do Palo if I can talk DH into it...he doesn't want to dress in anything more formal than cruise casual.

We're flying down early on the 19th so now I have to decide whether to stay at WDW or head over to port. I hate being so close and not at least hanging out at a Disney resort for a day.

Oh, do not miss Palos! I can't say that loud enough. It's truly the highlight of the cruise.

I'm planning on booking tomorrow as well. We've stayed on the ship in Nassau in the past. Although, we may head over to Atlantis this time.

I'll be bringing 14-year-old boy. We couldn't drag him out of the stack on the last cruise.

 

[mc2]

We're looking forward to booking stuff tomorrow as well - can't believe we're almost at the 90 day mark already!

 

[fasttrakphil]

AHHH 91 DAYS AND FULLY PAID!!! NOW JUST DECIDING WHEN TO DO PALO
