Sept. 23, 2012 Pacific Coast - Wonder Cruise

[glindamood]

Ugh, I have been so busy with trying to sell my place that I haven't focused at all on this trip in the last little bit. Just realized I still haven't figured out how to get from the hotel in Anaheim to the port. Sigh. There are not enough hours in the day!!!!

Well, not that there would not be other ways (we are taking DCL transportation) but here are the websites for Super Shuttle http://www.supershuttle.com/ and Prime Time http://www.primetimeshuttle.com/. Those are the only two that I have seen with any great consistency so we that is what we will use.

Just booked our first Disney cruise and I am just discovering all the fun things people do. (Decorating cabin door, dressing up for Pirate party, Fish Extenders, Scavenger Hunts, etc.) I have a lot to get ready over the next few weeks.

We are just two sisters (Becky and Stacie) looking to have a fun time and any opportunities to enhance our cruise would be great. We don't have our cabin assignment yet.

Is it possible we can still participate in the FE?? This is my first post so I can't PM yet, but looked like the FE cutoff was on Thursday.

Wish I would have discovered this forum a few weeks ago, when I booked the cruise. I'm hoping to ready through the entire thread, but figure it will take several days.

Will be happy to add you to the FE list. I'll post an updated and final one tomorrow, which is the official cut-off date. I'll post on this thread, since many folks are not able to PM.

Thanks.

Julie

Yes, of course, you are welcome to join still. Let me know your names and ages (for the kids only!) and your cabin number and I'll add you to the list. I have been posting the list on this thread because there are a lot of newbies that can't PM yet. I will post the FINAL list on Thursday!

Welcome aboard!

Julie

Thx Julie! There are 4 of us.
Me (Connie), DH (Ricky), DS (Edmond 3), DD (Emily 1). Cabin 2026.

Can't believe it's only 1 month away!!! Yay! Can't wait to be on Wonder and meeting you all!

Hi kangamommy! DS is 3 as well and DD is 1. DS is pretty shy and takes a while to warm up in a new environment. Hopefully, it won't take as long as 7 days for him to start enjoying the club....

Hi! Welcome! My DS has JUST begun a "shy phase" - so I think if the boys can meet at the meetup on the first day it'll help both of them tremendously! (did you read that post about the DISboard meetup btw? it's 3pm in Promenade lounge)

I thought I had read awhile back that there's a Facebook group set up for our cruise group, but I can't find the post.... If there is one, could someone please share how to access it? Thanks!

Is it just me unable to find it now but have the Shutters packages been removed from the Disney website? Used to be you could buy a $99 package before boarding on the Disney site, I'm sure it was there a few months ago but now I want to do my pre-purchasing I can't see it for beans.

5crazyfordisney - no FB was ever set up to my knowledge and I've been knocking around since the first page of the thread.

Still no cruise documents for me. I hope they come before we go.

It's not you; they took the pre-paid photo packages off the website a few weeks ago.

You can find out more information about what packages you can buy on the ship here -

Yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! It is getting closer... DH needs to start FE's this weekend.

All quiet here. I did manage to cancel one of my excursions (and taught the DCL rep how to do that) this morning, need to book the trolley in SD on our own, book Super Shuttle and I am ready. Hopefully I can get that taken care of this week. Our cruise docs (man, they are sorry these days, used to be so much more to it) were in the mailbox when we got home from the wedding.

OK - have an awesome day/evening.

Thanks - must have been from a different meets thread I had come across, and now I can stop searching for it!

Working diligently on my FE gifts - can't believe there's only one month until we cruise - woohoo! So very excited - can't wait!

Does anyone know how to book the rainforest room one-day pass? I can't find anything rainforest related on the website.

I was gonna make a facebook page a while ago, but somehow my facebook settings would not allow me to create a group. So I gave up. I am not the most computer savy person either. Back in university I was a whiz, but over the years I use so little of the computer I lost my skills. If anyone else could create a page for the last month before our cruise, please do. On my last cruise, we all got familar with each others faces from the profile pics it was a lot of fun picking people out in the crowds.
