So, we got back from our week-long vacay at WDW. So much fun, so little time. *sigh*

Anyway, DS(5) started asking if we could please move to WDW. I said we couldn't possibly leave our friends back home. He said that we could move there and come back to visit. Then, I explained that it costs a lot of money to go to WDW and that daddy and I have to work hard to make money so we can go on vacations. His response was "Then let's tell daddy to work harder." I told him I'll be sure to do that when daddy comes home.

To make DS feel better about the limited prospects of moving to WDW, I broke down and told him about our upcoming cruise. He was soooo excited. I guess I'll now have 6 months worth of daily "Is it November yet?"

Speaking of ... does everyone realize we're exactly 6 months away from sailing?? Woohoo!!

Hi all! So excited to be sailing the Wonder in Nov. First time on DCL, cant't wait! It'll be me and my DH, and my DS who will be turning 3 on the last day of our cruise! Joining us will be my best friend and her fam, including her DD who will be turning 1 the week before! Just found out from this thread that DCL's leaving Galveston! That would explain why I couldn't find any 2014 itineraries from here! (here is houston where we live)
Anyways, looking forwards to cruising to Alaska next, so we wouldn't have been able to leave from here anyway.
Will see y'all soon,
Erin

I am putting together a tentative schedule on when we can get together after boarding so that everyone in the fe group will have a list with any changes in cabin assignments.

I was wondering, do most groups meet immediately after boarding or do you try to wait until after dinner service? We selected the early dinner service but I figured some might have a late dinner seating.

Let me know if you have any suggestions or past experience tips.

On the Feb. cruise out of Galveston that I was on we had a meet planned for 3pm in the promenade lounge. Unfortunately, our cruise was delayed boarding because of fog and the meet never happened.

That's what I was kinda of afraid of. I thought of doing one meet & greet the first night and then doing another meet & greet the first morning around 10 am - just something quick to handout any changes. That way it wouldn't interfere with anyone's dinner plans. I wasn't sure how people have done the initial meet up on past cruises.

Any thoughts or suggestions from anyone would be welcomed
