'Wonder'ing to Alaska 9-night Cruise 7/24/17

[Anisum]

Hey guys... if anyone signed up for the ornament exchange, the groups have posted in the other place. I'm waiting for some updates and I wasn't sure if some were lurking here. If you're in the FB group and haven't been there in awhile, consider checking your messages please. It's PIF day!

I loved the idea of the ornament exchange but our stateroom is made up of two different households so it wouldn't work unless we left someone out. Definitely let me know how you enjoy it.

I saw someone share a picture of their online itinerary after check in today. I was showing a Pirate night on Day 6 in Ship Activities. Any Platinums in here that can confirm that?

I'm gold so I haven't gotten it yet but DCL website still shows Frozen Deck Party for Wonder Sailings from May 22, 2017 to September 4, 2017.

Hello! Were all set for our first cruise! Looking forward to Alaska, and looking forward to experiencing how Disney does cruising! It will be me, DH, and DS (13). I've been combing the boards to learn all I can.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get accepted into the Facebook group for this cruise? Thanks.

Can you post the link to the Facebook group? tia

Posting the link is against DISBoards rules as is providing directions to it. The rules are a little more vague about mentioning the existence of groups on other websites.

Hey sorry it's late but I got in last night and we have both Pirate Night and Frozen Night back to back apparently.

Look up somewhere else Disney Wonder 9 Night Alaska Cruise. July 24-August 2, 2017.
That's no link, but it may help you.

Update: This morning I logged on and Pirate Night has been replaced with Pixar Party Pals instead.

Yes, if there's a DISboards Fish Extender group set up, it would start here.

It's a little early to start setting up a group just yet. Typically 6-8 months out is a good time to get things going. Before that, unfortunately, you'll find people who, when flush with the "I've just booked a Disney cruise" excitement, will say "I want to participate" and then you never hear from them again. This could be because of changing circumstances or change of heart and they cancel the cruise. Or they figure out there's a little more involved with it than they thought. Then you're left with a FE list full of holes (people no longer around, and un-contactable).

I would like to learn about FE. What do you do in an FE group? How do you participate?

Hi! This is my first cruise, first time to AK, first time on the DISBOARD!! So please excuse my total newbie-ness
It's going to be me, DH, DD (9), DD (7), and my parents!! I'm going to be obsessively following this board until we get off the ship! LOL!

I am a newbie to these boards. Would you mind telling me what the acronymns DH and DD stand for?

 

[KCully]

Okay that's two. We probably need a few more to hold a group. Anyone else interested?

Yes, we are interested. Myself, hubby and two sons would like to join the FE group.

DD- Disney or darling daughter, DH- Disney husband, etc

 

[lilmissfoodie]

DD- Disney or darling daughter, DH- Disney husband, etc

I always thought it meant "dear" husband, daughter, etc.

Could be- I've heard different things

 

[Anisum]

Yes, we are interested. Myself, hubby and two sons would like to join the FE group.

Okay, so if @lilmissfoodie is still in I'm definitely good with planning/doing a small one between our staterooms and anyone else who wants to join in.

Hi Everyone, we are on this cruise and very excited. My dad, myself and my DD who will be 10 on the sailing. Is anyone thinking of doing a land portion before or after the cruise?

Yes I want to go a few days before cruise and go to Stanley park, and 1-2 more things. I am a single mom traveling with my 5 yr old.

count us in for FE group

We are sailing too!! It will be me, DH, DS (9 at time of sailing), DD (7 at time of sailing) and DD (5 at time of sailing). We are so excited, but also trying to stomach the cost of it, in a deluxe oceanview with verandah!!! At least we got our OBB discount! This will be our 4th DCL Cruise. We have done 2 4 nights on the Dream, and 1 7 night on the Fantasy. We live in Atlanta, and plan to fly into Vancouver 2-3 nights before and explore Vancouver a little! So any suggestions for what to do in Vancouver would be great!

I am traveling with my 5 yr old and going a couple days earlier. Would love to meet and do something together. I am researching things to do.

All right. I'll get to work on it.

Okay, I sent a message with the FE information to those who were interested. If I missed anyone please let me know. @KCully you need to have 10 posts before DISboards will allow me to send you messages. Once you have enough posts I'll send it to you as well.

 

[KCully]

I have to have 10 posts before you can send me messages? Well, that's just silly..
