WONDER May 20, 2015 San Diego to Vancouver!

[COASTIEandMATE]

Hi there. First Disney Cruise and excited! Would like to participate in FE but still haven't made final decision. How many cabins are participating thus far? It looks like some FE groups divide participants into smaller groups to keep the number of folks for whom you're making gifts more manageable. Is this group planning to keep it open to all or divide into smaller groups if it gets too large? Thanks for taking the initiative to get it going!

Hi !! Hope that you join in on the FE fun, there are only a dozen cabins so far so just bring something small{and light} so easy-peasy! We are looking forward to meeting you and leaving a little Aloha at your door!!! Karen and Ron

Cabin Number:2519
2 Adults
1 boy - Matthew (4); favorites = Cars, Planes, Incredibles

 

[COASTIEandMATE]

We just booked today and we're so excited to be going on this cruise!!! We love the Wonder....it's our favorite! We'd like to join the FE group! We don't know our cabin number yet.....but it's 1 adult (Carol) and 1 9 yr. old girl (Carina)! (Lots of allergies, so please no food or candy......but we love Pluto!!! and anything else!!!
We've participated before and didn't have a certain day to deliver......surprises are always good! But we're open to whatever most want!!

Hi I hope you get this post. We would like to join the FE.
name: 2 adults: Edmond and Terri, 3 kids: Boy 8, girl 11, girl 14. No allergies. We have bought a package that doesn't give our Cabin # til later even though we paid in full. So how can we participate? We can text the cabin number as soon as we know? thanks

 

[EReyeSee]

We've also just booked this cruise and do not know our cabin number yet. Would also like to participate in FE. Hopefully a manageable group of around 12 cabins? No restrictions for us.
Thanks.

Ok, I believe I now have everyone that has signed up so far added, please check the list and let me know if I have missed anyone.

The final day for signups has been set for April 15th.

Anyone who doesn't have a cabin number yet or if your cabin number changes should text me at 562-290-7878 once you know this information, unless you get this information prior to May 15th, then you can PM me or post on here.

We now have 18 cabins, so I am thinking we should divide up into two groups at this point, but I am open to suggestions.

Hi cmwade77!! If you split into two groups, we would like to be included in both groups so that we can bring a little aloha to everyone! Mahalo, Karen and Ron

Hi, cmwade77! Quick edit to our FE entry...
We spell Matthew's name with 2 Ts (no biggie, it was shown both ways in the listing so just wanted to clarify for others before you lock it down). Thanks a bunch!

Thank you CMWade! I am OK splitting it or staying as a larger group. Thank you for hosting it!

We would like to be in both groups too.....although, I must tell you.....we usually have one gift per cabin, although with so many days at sea.....we just might surprise you and do more!!! We're happy to do whatever you want!!

Sounds good, I will make sure you are included on both. Looking forward to seeing what you have.

Thank you for letting me know, I corrected it on the post.

I wish that we could add polls to existing threads to vote on if we should split into groups or not.

Sounds good, these FEs are for fun, I don't see the point in establishing too many rules, other than what is absolutely necessary.

Ok, at the suggestion of one of the moderators, I have made a separate thread with a poll about if we should split the FE into groups, please vote at:

Is anyone familiar with the piers in Vancouver and their proximity to hotels? We chose a hotel assuming we'd be coming in to Canada Place but after receiving docs today, looks like we'll be at Ballantyne Pier. Finding older info online about Ballantyne that suggests its not the best neighborhood to walk and that its further away so we'd probably have to take a taxi. We'll be in a rush to disembark for an activity, so just trying to plan for the most efficient way. I will check with the hotel but wanted to ask here as well. Any thoughts?

Which hotel have you choosen? Ballantyne was phased out last year. Personally, I choose to stay away from the cruise terminals for savings towards excursions, restaurants, and extra nights in Vancouver.

On this link... it shows the Wonder at Canada Place on May 25th?

It was a false alarm. The printed cruise docs I received from Disney show Ballantyne. Called to inquire (because I too had seen that Ballantyne should have been phased out last year, so was confused when I got the docs). Disney confirmed it was a misprint and is correcting for future docs where possible. Canada Place it is. Thanks for the reply!

 

[time for travel]

We stayed at the St. Regis Hotel when we were there before.....very nice, not too far from Canada Place. They have an awesome breakfast that was included in our rate!! I would stay there again if we were staying in Vancouver!

 

[swingorchid]

Just a correction to the cabin number. It is 2610, not 2616. Thanks. Lan

 

[cmwade77]

I have updated the information for everyone.

Also, please vote on if and how you would like to see the FE groups split using the following thread:
http://disboards.com/threads/wonder-may-20-2015-san-diego-to-vancouver-fe-poll.3398012/

FE Signups are closing on the 15th, so if you know of someone that would like to join, please have them post or send me a message before then.

For those with GTY cabins, please send me your cabin numbers as soon as you get them.
