September 15 Wonder Roll Call

[Katesdad]

Went looking this morning and couldn't locate a roll call of DISers for the 4 day Wonder starting September 15, 2002, so here it is.

DW and I are celebrating our 25th anniversary on this cruise. We're leaving children at home.

I've seen VLLYGRL, IDONTKNOW and GILLIAN will be going on this trip and I look forward to meeting all of you. Anyone else out there going?

 

[Katesdad]

Will an upgrade be given if the ship is empty?

 

[Katesdad]

Guess everyone does the seven days now. Can't wait! Looks like this ship's empty!

 

[vllygrrl]

DH and I will be on the Sept. 15 Wonder! It's our first Disney cruise and we CAN'T WAIT!

 

[Katesdad]

My DW and I are looking forward to meeting you and your husband. We're doing second seating. This is our second and we're as excited about this one as we were for the first. Not as much time to go as it was when we booked, but it seems time can't go fast enough.

 

[vllygrrl]

We've chosen the second seating too...we're looking forward to meeting you both!

 

[idontknow]

Second seating for us, too. I thought it would be better not to have to rush back to the ship just to eat dinner. We are use to eating late here at home anyway. Can't wait!

 

[Gillian]

We'll be there too! me, DH & our then 2 year old. !st seating for us, as I'm sure the little guy will be worn out by 2nd seating (which would be my preference if we didn't have him).

Anyone else on the 9-15 with a toddler?

We're hoping he'll like flounders so that we can have at least one night out. He does well in groups, after he hangs out for a minute & figures out where the cars & trucks are!

 

[Toad]

...but we have early seating. I thought we would be the only ones - glad to see more names on this sailing date.

 

[Katesdad]

Hey, we're getting a group of DISers together for the September 15th Wonder! So far we have:

Vllygrl from Middletown, NJ
IDontKnow from NE Indiana
Toad from Toronto, Canada
Katesdad from Cincinnati OH
Gillian, and
Motherhen17404 from York, PA.

Gotta say though that the ship doesn't look really full yet. That's okay, it means all the more room for us in the hot tub!

Any others going that I haven't included above?

 

[Gillian]

We're from NJ, too

I've been reading the Who's going in sept thread on the resorts board & it seems like most people are waiting until the end of september to go to WDW. I guess it's the same for the cruise. Maybe one of the travel agents can tell us how full the ship is?

More room at flounders for DS & at Palos for us!

 

[motherhen17404]

It would be nice if the ship and WDW were not as crowded. We are doing the land/sea package. WDW for Sept. 12-15, then after the cruise we are going back to WDW for 2 more days. We are really hoping that WDW would not be as crowded in Sept.

 

[Gillian]

We'll be in the World from the 7th-15, and then on the cruise. I always expect crowds & hope for the best. It is so much better when there are fewer people there, but I know it's getting to be crowded all the time now. Last Fall was the exception, of course.

motherhen17404, where are you staying? Do you have any children who will be with you?

 

[motherhen17404]

We will be at the Beach Club Sept. 12-15, then The Polynesian from the 19th-21st. The cast is myself, DH and DS who is almost 11.
We are planning for the crowds, but are hoping for the best. We will just have to wait and see. We have been waiting for this trip for over a year now.

 

[Gillian]

Anyone else?

 

[Katesdad]

You know Gillian, the more I read these boards, the more I am encouraged that our cruise may be less crowded than others. This will give our wait staff more time to personally attend to our needs, less crowds in the spa, rainforest and Palos, more room on the beach at CC, and more space to find those quiet places for the DW and I to enjoy the "Wonder" of the seas. I guess everyone is either concerned about the potential for bad weather or want to cruise for more than four days. I'm ready for it. BRING IT ON and don't offer those low discounts to residents of Florida! They have better things to do.

[motherhen17404]

Katesdad-

I'm with you. Hope the ship is not so crowded. It would be nice to have some elbow room.

 

[Lowe6]

Well it's about time some people decided to go that same day !!!!We will be there too & WDW from 9-19 to 9-25. There are 7 of us in 2 rooms. 2 adults 2 12 y boys 2 10 yr girls & 1 6 yr girl. We are all very excited & the children are looking forward to making new friends. Has anyone decided what they are doing in Nas ?

 

[vllygrrl]

Well, we just finished paying off our cruise....by some unlikely stroke of luck, my hubby and I each got 5 of a kind on poker machines in Atlantic City over the weekend....$1000 each!!!! Side by side machines within 5 minutes of each other... the casino employees said they'd never seen two machines hit that close together, and the fact that we were a couple made it even rarer. We came home, deposited the money, and now we're cruising on the casino's dime!

 

[Gillian]

Congratulations Vllygrrl!! I have $300 from our last AC trip sitting under a flower pot in my kitchen (don't rob my house, please!). I should send it off to Disney, as we still owe them some money.

I'm sure Disney will do what it can to fill our ship, but I don't care. Either way, we are going to have a great time! Our WDW dates, 9/6-15, should be uncrowded, and that will be nice. I just hope they have some fireworks while we're there. An e-night would be fun too!

So what is everyone planning to do in Nassau?
