[wehavesix]

We just book 9579 and 9079 on the Dream:yay::yay::yay:

Anybody else cruising that week?

[PrincessNoelle'sMom]

Not booked on that cruise, but we have the same two staterooms! Hope you enjoy your trip and please post your feelings on the room category and virtual portholes. We have sailed on DCL 4 times, but our first trip on the Dream and booked this category for the virtual portholes (usually take a verandah).

[ippy]

we have 9079 when we go in Oct 2011....we are doing a b2b cruise with the same rooms.

[AAOSAM2]

We booked into 8014 and 8024 on the same cruise. Can't wait dd will turn 21 on the cruise on the day we are at castaway cay, it doesn't get any better than that.
WHOO HOO:yay::yay:

All you had to do was ask. :wizard:

[dvccruiser76]

Count us in :cool1:

wehavesix - we're practically neighbors, me, my DH and my DS (22 months at the time of sailing) will be right down the hall from you in 9547.

I'm so glad we're not alone! Let the countdown begin.

[dvccruiser76]

Happy sailing to you too :goodvibes

I was so excited when they released the points charts. I'm one of those crazy people that uses points to cruise b/c my DH isn't a big Disney fan like myself. The first thing that popped into my head was whoa, I might have enough points to book the Fantasy next year if the points are in line (obviously higher if it's a 7 nighter) with the Dream.

I can't cruise on the MV due to work restrictions at that time of year, so I'll be anxious to hear (and hopefully see) what people report back.

[Husurdady]

Count us in :cool1:

[hrs97]

I just booked our first cruise ever for this sailing!!! We just got back from WDW a couple of weeks ago and I can't wait to go back!! I don't think I can wait that long!!!

It's also hard to plan that far out in advance because there is always the chance that my DH could get called up (he's military). So I'm holding out hope that these dates end up working out.

We've got cabin 7675 which is kind of cool because that's mine and DH's birth years and we'll be celebrating our 35th birthdays. :woohoo::banana:

[dvccruiser76]

hrs97 - Thanks for joining us! Congrats on the birthday celebrations too, what a way to celebrate :thumbsup2

Here's hoping that your DH doesn't get called up :wizard:

[Smith70592]

Thanks for the welcome everyone

We are looking forward to this trip. My son is so excited about it.

It is going to be a long year and a half wait hearing him asking when are we leaving again every other day :woohoo:

[hrs97]

I just got my confirmation in the mail today and it looks like my original booking went through even though my computer froze so we're in room 9049! It looks like there are a lot of us on deck 9!:cool1:

[dvccruiser76]

hrs97 - Howdy neighbor :goodvibes

We're literally right next door. You're not adjoining to our room, but you can't get much closer. I'm in 9547.

Hey! Fellow Louisiana folks! :goodvibes

Nice to see a few more Disers are going the same time we are. I'm a teacher and will likely have to take the last week of school off for this trip. I haven't broken the news to my co-workers yet. :rolleyes1 But my little pre-k kiddos will have gone home for the last time the Friday before so it's doable. This will probably be the last cruise we will take with all 4 of our younger 4 kids still at home. Still hoping my oldest son and his family will join us but so far they haven't booked.

We are counting down to our next trip to WDW in March right now so I'm not getting too wired about this trip yet. After March, that count down will begin for sure!

[Husurdady]

Is anyone ,after our 4-day cruise staying over for a B-2-B cruise? This will be our 1st B-2-B. Will be on deck seven up front center window, cabin 7000both cruises.

[dvccruiser76]

Husurdady - I will be very jealous come the 26th when the 2nd half of your trip starts! Is the 2nd half a 3 day or one of the new 5 day cruises?

Any guesses on when they'll release more information on the new ships? I just watched one of the old Disney Cruise shows on the travel channel and I'm dying to get more info on the Dream. I know they're holding out to keep us excited, but I'm ready.

Hi DVCCRUISER76, you can always book and come with us on our 3day-[b2b]second part cruise. I checked your rm. 9547 for the b2b, sorry it was taken but there are still some in that cat.10a left. Don't know when we will be getting more Info. Hey! not to change the subject and all,but guess who works at DVC booking office...........times up. My DS new girl friend,he was down over the holidays to she her.The building [He's got pic's] is not what I pictured it to be.He took her to work one day.

[AAOSAM2]

My mother posted earlier about it being my birthday on the cruise (this is her DD :tink: ) but I have a question.

I'm bringing my boyfriend :lovestruc with us, and he is really picky about his attire. He's not a polo/kahki/slacks type of person, more of a structured button down shirt/dark sleek jeans type of person. I know the attire is dress casual, and I've been on both the magic and wonder, it's just me personally, I would never wear jeans and such to dinner.

What do you think about his attire? He says he will dress nicely when going to Palo, so I'm just more worried about the dining, because I don't want to be one of those people who A) looks out of place because he can't dress properly, or B) not eat at the restaraunts since it will be the first time being on this ship.

Please help?
I've seen the outfit he wants to wear, and it's an outfit that does look very nice, and we usually go out to eat to Olive Garden with him wearing it. (Not comparing Olive Garden standards to Disney standards at all though.)

I apologize now that I tend to ramble. LOL. :laughing:

[dvccruiser76]

Husurdady - Very nice :thumbsup2 Does your son live in FL? I take it that's where she lives if she's working for DVC, though I could be wrong. More importantly, does she have any good insider information to share with your son or the rest of your family? Dinners must be interesting, I'd probably talk her ear off the whole meal.

AAOSAM2 - Hmmmm I've been on the Magic and Wonder and the only restaurant that I think you'd have a problem with would be Palo, which I think you said wasn't an issue b/c he'd dress up for that. Also, if there was a formal night, which I doubt there will be on a 3, 4 or 5 night cruise on the Dream. I did also read that there may be a 2nd adult only restaurant like Palo, so that too may require different attire. I wouldn't sweat it out, you'll probably never see the other cruisers again, so if they look at you funny, look right back ;)

[mylittleprincess]

We booked the Dream 2 weeks ago on the Wonder!! I cannot wait! Doing the DREAM :dance3: I even started a thread for it!! :yay:

[Husurdady]

Paulene, You and yours, welcome :) glade you all could make it.

[dvccruiser76]

Yes mylittleprincess welcome aboard :cool1:

I loved watching the link that you posted. We must be due for some more announcements surrounding the Dream soon. I'm interested in hearing about the rumored new adult restaurant next to Palo.

[loveysbydesign]

Hiya...we're offically booked! Switched from the 15th to the 22nd so we can see POTC 4 while onboard and so we could get 11C GTY cabins in the hopes of getting upgraded! It's our 2nd Disney cruise and my in-laws 1st!!!
Me, dh, MIL, FIL, kids will be: ds...just turned 12, dd 8 1/2 and ds almost 4!
We are so super excited!

[TheHippie524]

Hello fellow cruisers! I am the daughter of AAOSAM2 (who posted a question earlier) well... I have another question, if anyone could please answer. =]

So, I'm turning 21 on the second day of our cruise (which is why I'm going :cool1: ) and I was curious. Will they know of my birthday?
Like, I've been reading that something on the KTTW card has something about age on it. Does that mean it will say 20? or my birthday? If it has my age, would I have to go to the desk on my birthday (at midnight of course haha) and have them change it so I can have my 21st drink at Skyline or what is it, Pink?
I'm just so confused. It's been about 3-4 years since my last cruise, and I can't remember anything about the KTTW card.
Any insight would be FANTASTIC.
:hippie:

[aksunshine]

Trying to decide between this and June 3 (4night) or May26 (3 night) for our first ever cruise. It will be me, dh, dd (will be 9) and ds (1 on June 1- as long as planned csection goes as planned! LOL!).

This one is cheaper then the June 3rd one and 3 nights is just way too short;)

Yeah the cheaper price is what hooked us on this one. I'm sure my principal would rather I waited for the June 3rd one. With the May 22nd one, I will miss the last week of school but it's worth it. I'll have to save up my days next year!

I have 2 daughters as well...mine will be 7 and 13 at the time of the cruise. I have some reservations about letting my oldest go in the teen club. She is mildly autistic and has problems with "social" settings and getting to know other people. I wish they would let her go back into the club setting. I felt more comfortable with her there knowing that she was supervised and that she couldn't leave without one of us signing her out.
I know what you mean about being more excited to go on the Dream than the western Caribbean! We looked at the 7 night eastern and just decided against it because I want to go on the Dream!!

Sorry for being MIA, it's tax season and it's getting the best of me :mad:

I'll be happy once April 16th arrives, or we get some more dirt on the Dream. I did see a post somewhere that showed the new quiet cove pool which may have a swim up bar of some sort and Goofy's area with possible mini golf, which might be fun.

Enjoy your dinner and let me know how it goes popcorn::

tngal & mylittleprincess
I too am close in age, I always have to think about it, but I'll be 34 when we cruise. For some reason after I turned 30, it takes me a while to remember how old I am, though I swear my memory just isn't as clear since I had my son. He'll be almost 2 when we cruise, so we'll be checking out the nursery as opposed to the teen clubs, but they do look really cool, especially the outside section with water sprays, etc.

Happy a great weekend everyone :goodvibes

[mylittleprincess]

Hi mylittlprincess,
I actually don't have facebook, though maybe I should say yet. I spend so much time on email and the boards that I'm afraid that I'd get absolutely no work done if I had facebook to keep me occupied as well.

Maybe I'll break down and join, but it probably won't be until after tax season if I do.

Are you excited for your trip on the Magic? Have you been on the Magic or Wonder before? We're trying a non-flight trip with my son in May to Disney's Hilton Head, which is as close as we'll get to seeing Mickey until next May on the cruise. There aren't any characters there, but I'm sure there are plenty of hidden Mickey's.

Hey!!

If you ever sign up look me up!! :thumbsup2 We have been on 2 Wonder cruises & the Magic will be our 1st. DH is actually not too thrilled as it is the same exact ship & feels he will not have a new experience. We are VERY excited for the Dream!! :cloud9:

We're in for our first Cruise! Cabin 8677 with a b2b for 5/26 in same cabin. I got a lot of newbie questions, so I hope ya'll will help me out when needed!

Hi
I am on the April 17 4 day DREAM right now but realize this might be spring break for most kids in America.... so I am thinking of switching to this cruise date. I turn 40 on the week before... however, only myself and my 6 yr old dd will be on this cruise, so I want to be home for my 40th with my hubby, ds (2.5), ds (4) and dd(14).
We have booked another DREAM 4-day in October already for the whole family... I just wanted to do something with my youngest dd.
I will know tomorrow if we can switch...

My disabled 14 year old is non-verbal and in a wheelchair and I was told by the manager of the Oceaneer's Club & Lab, that she can participate still in the younger groups. She is only going on the Oct. 2011 trip.

Hi all...
We are climbing on board the Dream 4-day on May 22nd too. 1 week after my 40th birthday!
Decided on a cat. 11A and booked cabin 8559 midship. Nice to have 2 sets of elevators soooo close and 3 decks up to pools/ food and 3 decks down to kids club!
Looking forward to getting to know you all and hoping that we'll get an FE exchange organized on this cruise. My dd LOVED it!

[dvccruiser76]

mylittleprincess - I'm with you, I'd rather try them both so you can experience the difference. I'm sure the Fantasy will be similar to the Dream, but I still plan on booking that one when bookings open up :goodvibes

tigger2on - Welcome aboard :woohoo:

disneyluvnmom - When you're ready, ask away and I'll try my best. It's been a while, but I still remember some things. Just not my age apparently :confused3

HI everyone, just checking in to see what you all are up to, I see someone has started up the F E gift X, Hey who is going to name this cruise?, or do you gals/guys already got one picked already?? And who is are leader? Hey, since I talked last ,dw & I changed stated room, we now have a 5th deck room W/ a"V",and dropped our May 26th B2B.

[ZeroToHero]

Hi there everyone! My boyfriend and I just booked this cruise tonight - we watched the Disney Cruise Line special on the Travel Channel, and while I've wanted to go on a cruise for a while (and actually already have two b2b booked with my family on the Dream in August 2011), this made him want to go on a cruise too.

So today, I showed him the video on the Disney website of the Dream, and he was like "Oh my god... how much is this?" So we looked up the maiden voyage prices, and our jaws dropped - sooo much. But then we checked spring break, and when we saw 800$, we freaked out.... and thus, several hours later, we are now booked for May (we didn't know when our spring break was, so we just picked a date we knew we'd already be out of school by.)

We decided to do the 4 day, because even though it's more expensive (by a lot), that extra day probably makes a huge difference with how much you get to do.

We are me, Danica (20 by the cruise), and DBF, Lou (21 by the cruise... :sad: my baby's growing up!!!). We will be celebrating our 4 year anniversary, because it is on May 31st.

Our room is GTY 11B right now, and we're not really picky, so we'll just leave it as that. We could have done the oceanview, but I actually am excited about the virtual porthole... :rotfl: I love Peach!

You and your bf have a great time, and remember mom and dad are 3 decks up stairs. LOL

The kids was excited to come back and see different things in their own "pocket". I also have facebook as well if anyone wants to connect on there, mine is http://www.facebook.com/scarlett233. Just be sure to mention that you're from this thread or I might not know it and not add you!!

I cannot wait to go on this cruise! We went and spent 3 days/2 nights in Gatlinburg, Tn and we found ourself comparing everything to DCL ...hotel room, dining, service at restaurants, etc. We've been spoiled!!!!!

Yes Lisa, WDW has much-much better directions to there hotels, in Gatlinburg the direction are something like this ; " go to stop light # 3 turn left go down to stop light # 1 turn right .......:lmao: :laughing:

[mom2LLN]

Hello Everyone!!

We just booked this cruise and the 26th for a B2B. Count us in on the FE Exchange, my children loved doing this our last cruise.

LOL you're right about that. We only live around 2 hrs from Gatlinburg, so we've been several times, and so the directions we are pretty much used to now!!!

Lisa

[tigger2on]

**** We are no longer cruising on this date :( I booked it originally to see POTC on board but decided I would rather celebrate my 40th so I re-booked on the May 15th cruise.) Enjoy your cruise all!!
2 sets of friends are joining me on this cruise for my 40th.
Kim and Aileen with 6 yr old Neil - Cabin 8527
Mike and Michelle - ?

[Husurdady]

When we would go there, we would always stay at the Jack Huff Motor Lodge, the only hotel left w/a diving board at the pool,they said when it broke, no more because of higher insurance.Some how it was" grand-fathered in",so they could keep it. ........ and you guessed it you had to turn left at stop light # 3. :lmao: :laughing:

I guess if you don't know you're numbers, you're just screwed in Gatlinburg then, lol!!! We stay at the Greystone Lodge at the Aquarium. It is right on the parkway and close to lots of things so we can just walk instead of having to get out in the traffic and/or pay to park. We are planning on going back in June for a night or two, without the kiddos, to celebrate our anniversary. I would much rather do a Disney cruise without the kids to celebrate, but that is just not in the budget right now!! Maybe next time.

Sorry it took me so long to reply..today is the first day i've felt like getting out of bed.I've got a virus or the flu or something.
Thanks for your anniversary wishes!! Wow,42 year! Thats wonderful. On June 27 Dh and I will celebrate our 17th anniversary (and yes i'm only 34) . We were there in 1993 on our anniversary !!!

Yep the sausage and onione eatery (Fannie Farkles) is still there...I resisted it twice. Love the stuff but i forget my stomach meds and that stuff reeks havoc on my poor stomach lol. There are a million pancake houses up there... the atrium...Pancake pantry..log cabin pancake house....just to name a few!!!!

[Trying to Plan]

My family just booked the May 22/11 Dream cruise!!!! I am only learning about the FE but might want to participate if I figure it out!!! Can't wait...I think we have 402 days to go:lmao: if I did my math right!!!

[ZeroToHero]

Apparently it's 1 year, 1 month, 1 week, and 1 day - pretty cool!!!!

[Trying to Plan]

:rotfl: Funny....that ticker is based on the first vacation we were attempting...all parks all week. We decided to live on the edge. I guess I had better update my ticker!!! :lmao:

[tngal]

tryingtoplan= WELCOME!! I will try to answer any questions you might have about the FE. We did one on our dec 09 cruise and myself and my 2 girls loved it!!

I've got a ticker on my home page. I did this last year before our Dec. cruise, we planning it is aug. 08 and I swore I would not torture myself again with another ticker when the time frame was that long, but i'm doing it again lol. This will be our 3rd Disney cruise and I can't wait!!!!!!!! I'm particularly anxious to see the Dream!

Hi everyone! Tax season is over :woohoo:

[Johnny Quest]

My wife and I just booked on this cruise. We're in 8648. Our son just got off the wonder 4/08 3-night celebrating his 21st b-day. Now it's our turn. This will be our first cruise of any kind and i'm ready to leave today. Count us in for the FE exchange. Our son exchanged on his cruise and enjoyed it very much. We are looking foward to meeting everyone on the boards and can't wait to go. I assume that May brings good weather in the Bahamas, which will make it that much better. JQ:thumbsup2

[loveysbydesign]

Just wanted to add that anyone who wants to participate in the FE exchange can pm me and I'll start the list! Can't wait to sail on the Dream!

Wonderful! You will love Disney. We are excited about the cruise. I am trying to get all of the info that I can. I have been checking out the FE and it sounds like alot of fun. I am not sure who is coordinating, but we want to join. Let me know what I need to do to sign up. Do you usually fly to Orlando? We have always drove, but are considering flying this time.

[dvccruiser76]

Welcome aboard Steph!

Did you book with points? If you did they'll probably charge you the $95 change fee to add your niece, but I wouldn't think that they'd need to change your room #.

I'm in DVC too. This is my 5th DVC cruise, but only my 3rd using points.

If you PM loveysbydesign you can get added to the FE list :cool1:

I did book with points. They told me that I would be charged the $95 if I added my niece. Of course, I did not realize that until I had already made the reservation or I would have waited until I knew that she was definitely going with us before calling.

Thanks for the info. I will PM loveysbydesign.

I read through the boards before booking with points and basically decided that the points were there to use and we were not planning another trip at the time so I used them. It is nice to book a cruise for only $95 (twice in my case).

[Husurdady]

First of all, to all you moms of the May 22, 2011 Cruise, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY. Now second, Welcome Steph to our cruise.You want to hear something funny..........well I will tell you anyway. On Oct,7th 2009 when they first opened up the Dream cruise ressies, guess what stateroom I reserved, using cash not DVC pts. Room 7000. I hope you guys will enjoy your cruise, this will be our 8th since May 2004. Dw wanted a "V" stateroom so we switch down to deck 5 with a "v".

[tngal]

We did the FE on our last cruise (it was our first time doing it) and me and my girls really enjoyed it. I'm just not creative and end up stressing on what to make/buy for our gift lol.
We always drive, my dh refuses to fly. I would like to fly once, but unless I can convince him otherwise, it won't happen!

Lisa

[dvccruiser76]

My DH is not as big a Disney fan as I am, so we use our points to cruise as well. He's not into going to WDW every year, so I try to change it up with Disney cruises, Disneyland Paris, Disneyland CA, WDW and Hilton Head (which is now less than 2 weeks away :cool1:).

Some people don't think it's a good use of points, but I agree with you on paying $95 for a cruise.

Now, I just need convince him that cruising on the Fantasy is 2012 is something "different". Spending $95 on a cruise certainly is a good selling point ;)

Happy Mother's Day all you moms :flower3:

Sounds like we have the same problem. My DH does not want to fly either. Three of us may be flying and he will just have to meet us in Port Canaveral. Well, we have a whole year to try and convince them. I'm starting now.

So, I was just sitting here, counting down the days until my birthday... And I realized that my birthday is in a couple weeks, and when it comes, it will officially be LESS THAN ONE YEAR until the cruise! I am just so excited!!!! :love:

My boyfriend ((who is not at ALL a Disnet Fan)) makes fun of me all the time because I'm always reading on the boards and reading up on all the updates to the Dream. :surfweb:
I don't care though, I know deep down he's a little excited too. :lmao:

I'm just so thrilled that it's arriving fairly quickly. :banana::banana::banana:

We all know though that April 2011 will be the LONGEST month ever. :scared:

I have never cruised before or I would take the position. I graciously decline since I am a newbie. I am sure that after this cruise we will be hooked, so maybe I will lead the next cruise.

I did notice that we are at the front of the ship. Is that room different from the mid-ship? Is the porthole facing to the side or to the front? Sorry if this is a stupid question. Again, I am a newbie.

First of all, there is never a "stupid" question on these boards.........only some dumb answers :laughing: Steph, in that cat. I think the rooms are all the same. Your Porthole window is dead center on the front of the ship on deck 7.Your view should be close to 180 degrease........:thumbsup2........nice huh........that's why I picked that state room but DW wanted a state room with A "V", so we went port side deck 5.That's why I said before " that U & yours would be guiding the ship with your eyes". :lmao: I hope we all will have a FUN-FUN time.

[poison ivy]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to introduce myself. You've already met my husband, Johnny Quest.
Sounds like we have a great group so far. It will be our first cruise and we too really can't wait!!!

We've got adjoining cabins with the "iron man" our son, who incidentally turned 21 while sailing on the Wonder last month so feel free to hit him with any questions Hippie 524.

I know we signed up for the FE - any idea how many are in so far?
We too are DVC members (used points as well for this voyage!) And big fans of the DIS.

Looks like this is a major celebration cruise! JQ's BD is embarkation day. (he's gonna kill me for that little disclosure!)

I want to welcome the "BETTER HALF" of J Q to our cruise. How old will James be? As for the FE, I think Loveysbydesign was starting A list.I hope also she takes over the leadership of our cruise[we need some]. JQ said some nice things inre; to DW & I been together 42yrs. P. I. sounds like u got a:thumbsup2 "keeper":thumbsup2 there. Lets have some BD parties starting 05/22/2011 on THE MAY DREAMERS BD CRUISE 2211.

[Husurdady]

J. Q. , Just think this Sat. your bd , your new found May22,2011 cruise friend W/ DW will be flying out of Midway to two full weeks at OKW in D-world. Hope you have a great time on your BD. LIFE IS GOOD.

[loveysbydesign]

Hi everyone! I will try and get the updated count for the FE posted by Friday for those who are curious! Wow..only 370 days til our cruise!

J. Q. , Just think this Sat. your bd , your new found May22,2011 cruise friend W/ DW will be flying out of Midway to two full weeks at OKW in D-world. Hope you have a great time on your BD. LIFE IS GOOD.
Yo Dady! While you and your much better half are airbound, Johnny and Poison will be soakin up the sun in the Golden State. Who knows might end up at the Left coast version of the Food and Wine fest which is happening as we speak. Or maybe brunch at the Del Coronado, haven't decided yet. Your right - LIFE IS GOOD. Hope you have a great time at Old Key. Let me know how you make out.
BTW- I'm older than your marriage but younger than you! Guess My Age!

[Husurdady]

WOW! J. Q. , you mean next week your new AARP card will be sent out to you for turning 50 years old Sat. :lmao: :rotfl2: :laughing:

[Johnny Quest]

I threw that card away last year, Husurdady. Good guess though. I will turn 52 on our cruise and it's good to meet cruisers from my generation. The anticipation keeps building and the only way to alleviate it is to "check-in" at a Disney resort. Have fun at OKW, we like that resort. If Poison and I are up for it on Sat. we can do the Food and Wine at the "Land". Life is what we make it - it gets better with age!

Jim

[tngal]

I think its so interesting to see all the different age ranges. Most people think of Disney and think" kids". Have we come up with a name/ leader for our cruise yet? I am actively searching for ideas for FE gifts.

I like Husurdady's suggestion. "May Dreamers BD Cruise 22/11. What does a cruise leader do exactly?

[loveysbydesign]

I know...our last cruise we booked 16 months ahead and i swore I'd never put myself through that torture again....but you see where I am now lol.

I hadn't heard about POTC 4...my husband will be thrilled! Do you know if Johnny Depp is going to be in this one as well, seems like I heard somewhere he wasn't?

Lisa

THIS is some seriously great news! After rumors going around that Pirates 4 might not start filming for a while, or might not happen at all, the official announcement has been made by Walt Disney Pictures that the film “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” will be released to theaters on May 20, 2011.
http://www.disneydreaming.com/2010/01/07/pirates-of-the-caribbean-4-release-date-announced/

Depp will return!! Bloom and Knightley will not!

and it will be shot in Disney 3-D

What does the BD stand for?

[Husurdady]

What does the BD stand for?

BD= BirthDays, Sam-The hippie524, will be 21 on the 24th. And Lisa-Tngal ,will be 36 on the 24th. And Johnny Quest - Jim... Dh to Posion will be 52 on the 22nd. And me, [ DON ] the hoosire daddy from Indiana always seeing things "backwards" will already be " 36 " when we cruise on The MAY DREAMER BD CRUISE 22/11.

[dvccruiser76]

Yay! We'll have a lot of reasons to celebrate. Bring on the bubbly :cheer2:

We're heading down to Disney's HHI this weekend and we'll be able to finally read our tickers that say "One year!" til our cruise.

[Husurdady]

[Husurdady]

I was just thinking the same thing when I read your post! I really like the sound of it.

[Steph178]

First of all, there is never a "stupid" question on these boards.........only some dumb answers :laughing: Steph, in that cat. I think the rooms are all the same. Your Porthole window is dead center on the front of the ship on deck 7.Your view should be close to 180 degrease........:thumbsup2........nice huh........that's why I picked that state room but DW wanted a state room with A "V", so we went port side deck 5.That's why I said before " that U & yours would be guiding the ship with your eyes". :lmao: I hope we all will have a FUN-FUN time.
Porthole looking towards the front of the ship. I like that! Thanks so much.

[Steph178]

I like it! We love POTC. We had no idea that POTC 4 was coming out while we are cruising. This vacation is getting better by the minute (and I didn't think I could get any more excited, but I guess I was wrong).

[Husurdady]

Dw , DD & I will see all guys in two weeks, we are flying out of MDW in Chicago in the morning. 14 nights in OKW. Our DS is already down there and our DD ,SIL and our Three grand kids will be coming down next weekend May 30th.........LIFE IS GOOD..... Move over Mickey cause the HOOSIRE DADDY FROM INDIANA IS COMING HOME..............BYE.

[ZeroToHero]

Guess what you guys?

ONE YEAR UNTIL THE CRUISE!!!!!!!!

[Henlady]

May I/we join your cruise group? Just got off the 3 day Wonder on Sunday, where we booked the 5/22/11. We have a Cat 6 Verandah room at the very back of the ship. We'll be serenely watching things fade in the distance as we sail away.:goodvibes

Welcome Kris, glad you could join us. We have a veranda room towards the back on deck 8, could be in your vicinity. Our group has started an FE exchange if your interested, should be fun.

Jim

[Henlady]

Thanks for the "welcome".
Our stateroom is on deck 6 - 6688 to be exact. We've been on 3 Disney cruises so far, 2 in SPH rooms and one interior room. I'm excited to have a verandah this time. Just did the FE exchange for the first time on our last cruise and it was fun. I may be interested in doing it again. I'll definately let you know.

[JohnPA]

Just got off the Wonder about 6 hours ago from our first cruise (and our 30th wedding anniversary! 5/25). While on board, booked for this (5/22/2011) cruise. Will have to read all this thread, but we checked in to Jambo house and we're getting settled then out to a park.

Had a fun time with FE and meet up, but as usual, had a mixup or two (and someone that wasn't on the list that just hung up a FE trolling for stuff I guess!)

Catch you later!

[Henlady]

Just switched from room 6688 to 6690.:goodvibes I know it's only one room over from the original, but 6688 was a connecting room to 6686 and didn't really want that. We wanted 6690 anyway but it wasn't available when we booked on Saturday, so someone must have "dropped" it. Call me a bit OCD!!

Welcome John PA! Sounds like you're having a great time. So jealous!

Glad to have you aboard.

[dvccruiser76]

Just got back from HHI and while we were shopping I found something perfect for a FE gift to give. Very fitting given the theme of the cruise.

I so cannot wait to cruise :cool1:

[dvccruiser76]

By the way, is anyone traveling with little ones? I saw some renderings of the new splash area on the Dream and it looks really cute and fun for them.

I also saw the ones of the quiet cove adults only pool and bar and that looks cool too.

We are! Our kids will be 12, 8 and almost 4 when we cruise! my in-laws are coming along to for their 1st Disney cruise ever!:cool1:

[mjmahnke]

Hi! Well, we booked this cruise on the one we just got off of, and lo and behold Henlady booked this one too! We were both on the 5/20/2010 Wonder 3 day! This will be our 4th Disney cruise and first 4 day. We are going solo this trip after taking our kids on the last one. Would love to sign up for the FE exchange if someone has started the list.

My DH and I live in Georgia, and I look forward to discussing our future cruise with you over the next 11 months! I can't remember the cabin number we booked but it is on the 6th floor with ocean view facing the FRONT of the ship! Can't wait!!

Holy smokes!!! I know where Cummings is!! I live just outside of Blue Ridge, Ga!!! You're not to far from me. In fact we're heading close to your direction today...our dr. is in Acworth,Ga.

Welcome to you and to everyone else that has joined up since I last logged on!!! Glad to see the group growing!! My kids check the countdown everyday lol.

As for if we're cruising with little ones...well if you consider a 6 yr old ( well,7 by the time we cruise) a little one...ok i guess i should just face it..i don't have little ones any more :( I can't WAIT TO GET ON THE DREAM!!!!

Lisa

[Henlady]

mjmahnke:
Mary, what a coincidence!! Glad you'll be aboard. Maybe this time we'll get a chance to meet.:goodvibes We are also sailing without the "kids" this time. 3 days on the Wonder just was not enough. This will be our 4th cruise - 3rd time for the 4 day. I just hope it's enough time for exploring the Dream.

[mjmahnke]

Kris, well this time we will just have to make a point to meet! What are the odds of us both booking the same cruise twice!! I ended up meeting Miztigg from the last board at the adult pool on our cruise along with her husband and she was lots of fun to talk with! We met up with them twice at the pool as they were without kids and spent alot of time there. That was where we spent a ton of our time as well. The green wristbands made it easy to identify people from our board. That is what prompted me to start up a conversation with her! I'm very anxious to get on the Dream and look forward to many months of planning!

In the meantime, we are planning our next trip to WDW staying at Boardwalk Villas for Food and Wine from Oct. 31-Nov.8. Adults only on this trip too! I just finished booking all of our restaurant ressies and got everything we wanted, so that is always nice! This online booking of Disney dining is great!! :banana:

[mjmahnke]

Lisa, Wow! You are not far away at all! I know that at 7, they don't seem so little, but wait until they turn 20 which mine did last March! You will WISH they were 7 again! Enjoy their "youth" as it doesn't last long!!

[Henlady]

Paulene
Thanks for the website. It is "fun" to watch the progress of the construction. I can't wait either. I'm so looking forward to being on the Dream. We have a verandah at the very back of the ship and I think it will be cool "if" we back into Nassau and Castaway to sit there and watch our progress. This will be the first time with a verandah. We've had 2 SPH and one inside staterooms in the past.

[tngal]

hey tngal. noticed you are from ducktown. we live in benton, tn. right down the road.

Hi mjmahnke, welcome to the cruise. My wife and I, and friends will be at the Boardwalk Villas/Bay Lake Towers from 10/28- 11/2. About 8-10 in our group, all adults, 1 adult son. We love to visit during Halloween. It's such a great time. Looking for costumes now. Will you be attending MNSSHP on the 31st?

[Johnny Quest]

thanks for the info. will she let me know when she gets my info so i will know what i need to do.

I'm sure she will. Once loveysbydesign has a final list compiled she will post it for everyone, so you will know exactly who you are giving gifts to, and what cabins they are staying in. You deliver your gifts to each cabin and place them in the appropriate pocket on their fish extender. Each person in that cabin will have a pocket. Sometimes couples share one. This is our first time also. Our son cruised in April and enjoyed it very much. If you need some ideas just ask.

Hi ya Jim!!

I see you are in South Jersey. Where at?

[Johnny Quest]

, thanks for the info. what types of items have you put in others fish extender?

For children we've given colored pencils, small coloring/activity books, hair clips, fake tinkerbell nails, etc. There were mostly little girls on my son's cruise. Adult gifts included foam drink coosies(they keep your bottle or can cool), Disney washclothes,and puzzle books. I've heard that alot of people give home made gifts, or gifts pertaining to their home state/town. You can find good ideas on the boards also.

Good morning ladies & gents. Tngal, I was just checking this "board" to see if anything was "new" with anyone. I'm already counting days as I'm sure you all are. It just seems so far away. We already had our BIG vacation this year a couple of weeks ago with 5 nights at WDW and then the 3 night Wonder cruise.
We'll have to do a couple of small trips to fill in the time. We usually go to Myrtle Beach for a few days over New Years and I'll schedule a long weekend at the Jersey shore sometime this fall. But I don't know what I'll do for the 5 months between January and May!!

Hope you all have a great weekend and

party:Happy Fathers Day to all of the Dads!party:

[tngal]

Great to hear from you! I know what you mean about passing the time until our cruise date, it always seems to take forever, then when it arrives, it flies by!!! I have a few things going on in between to take my mind off of it lol. I am expecting a great-nephew in October and so im planning a baby shower for august, then we have our first trip to WDW in Feb. to plan for as well. not to mention youngest dd's bday in december and school activities as well!

Just wondering...does anyone know if we have a FE list for everyone that is cruising and participating in the FE so far?

Thanks Henlady. We're doing a Halloween WDW trip this year. By that time we'll be down the home stretch to the Dream. The Jersey Shore is a nice weekend trip too. We live 50 miles from there.

Jim

[Henlady]

You're lucky Jim - we're about 5 1/2 hours from Cape May. We usually stay in Wildwood Crest because the rooms there are a bit cheaper, then we spend a fair amout of time at Cape May. DH likes the outdoor deck of the Lobster House for supper at least once while we're there, and also to stock up on some seafood to bring home.

We celebrated our DS's high school graduation in '06 in N. Wildwood. Had a place right on the beach. The Lobster House really hooked us up with seafood for our family dinner. They do a great job. Every once in a while we do a day trip to the beach, it's nice.

Besides being a Disney cruise newbie, I've never been on a big cruise ship before. I want to make sure I know all the ins and outs before we go.

[Chrisson]

I'm glad we have a while til we sail, I just found out about decorating the door!! I have a lot of work to do !!!

[Henlady]

Welcome to the group Chrisson.:goodvibes

There are lots of fun things you can do to get ready for the cruise. We're all anxiously awaiting our first cruise on the Dream. Even for those of us who have cruised Disney before, this will be a whole new experience.:yay:

[dvccruiser76]

Chrisson - welcome aboard :yay:

Do you have any little ones in your family? This will be my son's first cruise. He'll be almost 2 when we sail, so I'll be anxious to check out the new Nemo splash area.

[tngal]

loveysbydesign- (hope im addressing the right person for this!) Was you able to get a list of those that are participating in the FE yet? Just wondered how many we had so far. Thanks :thumbsup2

I'm just waiting for Jan/Feb to get here so we can get some first hand info on the Dream from anyone who's sailing early. Unfortunately it won't be us.

We're in room 6112, with DW, DD and DDBF. Can't wait until the ship starts cruising and trip reports and Navigators start hitting the forum.:dance3:

As of 6/30/10 So far we have 19 adults and 13 kids!


Also we need to decide how many people we'd like to limit the FE"s to! If there are too many it could get to be too expensive to do and take too much time!

[loveysbydesign]

Also forgot to mention that the FE I participated in for our cruise we limited it to 20 families!

[Henlady]

Loveysbydesign and all:
I haven't committed to the FE because I was waiting to see how many were participating. We are flying in and will be limited in space as to what I can carry. I was going to suggest maybe splitting the participating staterooms into 2 groups. That would make it a little easier financially and also for transporting the FE gifts. Just a thought. Let me know what you think.:goodvibes No problem if it wouldn't work that way though, I just go with the flow.

:cheer2:Hope you all have a safe and wonderful Independance Day!!!:cheer2:

[tinkerbellluv]

I would like to get in on the FE swap. I will have my DH, DS, DD, and myself. Can't wait for this cruise!!! WOOO HOOOO!!!! :yay:

[Johnny Quest]

I agree with the 20 families per group idea, As we get closer I'm sure it will work out fine. Hey Husurdady you win. You have the best "filler"trip so far. Our Halloween Food & Wine Celebration is only a distant second.

Have fun, Jim

[dvccruiser76]

Happy Independence Day everyone!!! :cheer2:


For anyone that's a Castaway Club member, if you missed the post, there is a cool video showing the progress on the Dream thus far. Unfortunately you have to log in to see it, but it means we're getting that much closer.

Henlady - I agree, I'm looking forward to seeing the new navigators.

Husurdady - You lucky duck :goodvibes

No, we have never stayed at Port Orleans so I can't help you there. It's nice to see that every once in a while "maturity" benefits you! I guess you'll have to call it the "more snooze cruise"

Husurdady:
Haven't stayed at POFQ, but have spent many stays at Riverside and walked around FQ. There is only one large pool at the center courtyard area of the resort. It is the pool with the dragon slide. The resort has attractive grounds and the pool area looks nice also. It is smaller than Riverside, but you can use the areas of both resorts as they are "sister" resorts.

I'm sure your wife is now happy that your hearing is sometimes not so good.:goodvibes Hope she's doing well with her recovery.

Hey everyone!! Just thought i'd drop in and catch up. I haven't been on in a while, as i've been taking care of my DH. He was involved in a serious burn accident at work on Thursday morning and had to be sent to Augusta,Ga to the burn hospital there. He has 2nd degree burns on the chest, back and both arms.Keeping him in your thought and prayers would be greatly appreciated. I've always been the one with health issues and him the caregiver, but this time roles are reversed and its been pretty hard for me to see him hurting like this. I have been reminding him of our upcoming DCL cruise and dd's birthday trip to WDW in Feb. and that always seems to lighten the moment up for a while :)

Thank you Henlady:hug: i really appreciate the thoughts and wishes. I will def. keep you all updated. He goes for follow up Thurs. @ 2:20 so it will probably be later in the evening/night before i can post an update. the follow up clinic is 2 hrs away from us. Augusta, where he had the actual surgery, was 4.5 away!

We got our 11c gty. cabin assignments already!
I have to say I was excited to see them until I realized we are not in connecting cabins with my in-laws. We booked gty 11c as we had to bump our date from May 15th to the 22nd(we changed it back in Dec). Almost all the inside cabins are connecting on the Dream.
We do have connecting cabins but not to each other...to other people. I think that's strange that we got 2021 and 2015. We have one cabin booked as me, mil and my dd and one as my dh, fil and 2 ds's(we had rebooked while onboard). We then planned to have me and dh together in one room with 2 kids and then the kids could take turns each having a turn in grammy and poppy's cabin.
My in-laws are not gonna be too happy, especially since one of our kids will be sleeping with them. They'll have to go back and forth down the hall...oh well, at least we're on the same floor! Plus it's their 1st cruise and I'm sure they'll survive...even if I have to listen to my mil gripe about it!

Maybe we'll get some pixie dust sprinkled on us before the cruise and end up getting connecting ones!
