Wonder 4 Night April 23rd 2006

[marv]

Hi Kimmielee


I did think about hireing a room at the resort but have spent so much money on the cruise we would rather make the most of the facilities on the ship.
We are going to get off at Nassau and look around, see whats there and then go back to the ship and make the most of what we have already paid for.
I have hired bikes for castaway cay and have registered the kids into the club. Might just see what takes my fancy for the Spa while on board would,nt mind doing the rainforest room.
I just cant wait to relax while there. We will be apsolutly shattered by the time we do the cruise after spending time in the parks so just want to chill out and take it as it comes.

See you there not long to wait now

Hi Kimmielee
No,we won´t go to Atlantis.I´ll do the Caribbean Queen Snorkel Tour in the afternoon and my sister wants to relax at the Pool.
We might get off the ship in the morning and go the Straw Market and look around a little.
It´s 54 days untill we fly over.Can´t wait.
See you there

My family of 25 are cruising on the Wonder April 23-27, 2006. I think we are 12 adults and 14 children - I'm not sure any more as I have lost count. I have four grandchildren going, ages 3, 5, 9 and 9. I also have great nieces going who are young like that, but I don't know their ages.

Everyone in my family are first time cruisers except for my two sisters. I am so excited about going. My life is consumed with planning and researching the Net about the cruise.

It's just myself and my DS (6). We will be staying at POFQ for 5 nights before the cruise... then 3 nights after... I can't wait.

Are there any children in the same club as my son?

We started with the 4/15 - 7 night, then switched to the 4/23 - 7 night and I figured out that the 4 night cruise + the 5 nights at POFQ was actually cheaper than the entire 7 night cruise... since I'm a "gotta pay cash" kinda gal I ended up going the more economical route...

I can't wait!!!

Take care
Conny

I read where you have "registered the kids into the club" at Castaway Cay. Can you tell me what that is? I will be parasailing while at CC so would like for the little ones to be busy doing something different.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi sharon
Its great too hear your on board too looking forward to meeting you all

I registered the kids in the clubs on the Wonder...i did this on Disney cruise line website if you have your booking number you should be able to do this.
Or it may be easier as you have so many children with you to do this on board.
While on castaway cay i think the childrens club do things with the children so you may be able to work it that you have some time to yourself


Look forward to meeting you on the wonder sharon

Wow, what a FUN trip for your family!!! I'd love to get my family to go... but my DS (6) is the youngest of the grandkids and the next one in line is 17 and the oldest is 32!!!

I can't wait to meet your lovely group! Welcome!

 

[pepsiontherocks]

It will be a pleasure to meet you onboard the Wonder. This is the first time my family has ever managed to get together. My two youngest grandchildren will not be going - ages 1 and 1.5. I just can't wait to see them all. I have only seen two of my grandchildren once in their lifetime because they live in Texas and I live in Oklahoma. (None of us travel much at all.)

It sounds like your grandchildren (ages) are pretty spread out. Hopefully, I will only have one or two more grandchildren to come. That is if my son can keep his pants zipped!

 

[conny264]

Hi Marv, Connie, Kimmielee and everyone else

Sorry, I haven't posted in ages, things have been really busy at work.

I would love to join you all on the first day, it will be my DH and I plus our three DDs (ages 9,6 and 3)

I can't believe it is finally coming nearer, we are travelling out to Orlando on Apr 9th and will have 2 weeks at the Poly, a Villa and the Hard Rock Hotel before the Cruise so I will definitely be packing light.

Looking forward to meeting all of you, it would be great if some of the kids could get to know each other on the first day as it might make going to the clubs a bit more fun!

I am so glad to hear of someone else who will have children my grandchildren's ages. (I'm not really old, I just started young.) My grandchildren are ages 3, 5, 9 and 9. Actually there's two more but are both less than a year old so they will not be cruising with us.

I would so love to meet you all the first day. Yes, I too think it would be very nice if our kids could meet and make friends. Have you all been on a cruise before? This is our first cruise ever.

Other than my children and grandchildren, most of the rest of my family is going. There are 25 of us in all. My two sisters have been on a cruise before but I don't think any of my other family members have.

It sounds like you all will have a nice, long vacation. We are just doing the cruise. This will be the first time a lot of the younger children (under age 18) have ever met each other. We all live in different states - Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia.

I too can't believe the date is finally getting here. I am so possessed with this trip. I spend every moment of my free time on the computer reading what others write about the cruise.

How will we recognize you? I don't think my bunch will be too hard to spot. My two son-in-laws are BIG boys - each one weighs about 300 pounds. One is Mexican and one is Indian so they are both dark skinned. (Gosh I wish I had their skin color. I'm very white but am going to a tanning salon for a month before the cruise so I'm not quite so white.) My daughters are both very white too. One is blonde and the other is brunette. The brunette is 30 years old and only 4'7" tall. I am 5'0" and weigh 100 pounds. My son is also slender like me.

As I have things planned now, I will be wearing a bright orange tee shirt and blue jeans. I bought the bright orange t-shirt because one of my son-in-laws is an Oklahoma State University fan and their colors are orange and black. I'm hoping my children will notice the bright orange t-shirt when we meet. I don't know if we will meet up in Florida or else in Houston where our planes have a layover. We have not received our flight schedules yet. Have you received yours?

My next task is to make our reservations for the excursions we want to participate in. All of my grandchildren and two daughters will be particpating in the Dolphin Excursion. One of my daughters may do the Dolphin Swim instead. I (and I think maybe my son) are going to parasail. I have always wanted to do that. My two son-in-laws are having trouble finding some excursion to participate in. One of them is afraid of heights and the other is afraid of heights and water - so that doesn't leave many excursions to pick from. Do you have any suggestions?

[Kimmielee]

Hi everyone!! It IS GETTING CLOSE!!!

DS(6) and I are expanding our trip a bit. We live in Michigan and my Dad lives in Kentucky. He turned 80 last year and I haven't seen him since July of '05.

I'm a bit worried based on recent phone conversations so we are leaving on April 14th, driving there, spending Easter weekend with my Dad and his wife then on the 17th returning to Michigan - but only as far as the airport!

Staying in a hotel the night before we leave since our flight leaves at 7:00 a.m. We will be in DisneyWorld by 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, the 18th! I can't wait!!

Hey, does anyone want Palo reservations for Monday, the 24th at 6:30 p.m.? I'm going to cancel them and just do the brunch, but would love to coordinate with one of you vs. letting it go to just anyone! Let me know, plenty of time to cancel left! See you all... or as my Dad says "y'all" soon!

 

[marv]

Hi Kimmielee

Visiting your dad will set you right for the cruise especially since you havn't seen him for a long time.
Where are you staying in disney Kimielee??
I bet your son is really excited now...my kids are they are really looking forward to the cruise part of the holiday.
Well have a wonderful time with your dad and we will see you on board on the 23rd


Best wishes
Marv
