I just booked this today for myself, DH and DS. I'm a little jealous you'll be traveling w/out kids and spouses - jk. I am actually very excited for this cruise. It will be our second on Disney but obviously first on Dream and first w/ DS. I can't believe how far away it is!!!

I'm just hoping there is stuff for us to do without the kids! I'm kinda worried about that TBH. I've never sailed Disney, DH and I sailed Carnival for our first cruise.

Are you going to be doing the fish extenders?

Love2Roam
01-28-2010, 08:29 PM
Don't worry about that - you will have plenty to do. Last time we went on Disney was before we had our son and we had such a good time. The quiet cove pool area is so nice - I've never been on any other cruise that actually enforces the 'adults only' areas. Forget about the blaring music of Carnival - this will be a totally different experience and you will love every minute of it ;)

They are the cool little pouch things that hang beside your door and people exchange gifts to each other in them. They sound like a ton of fun. :)

It's a long time to wait, but I do have the Panama Canal on the Wonder to look forward to first.

Myelton, I just did a 'girlfriends' cruise and we had a blast!

FISH EXTENDER EXCHANGE:

FISH EXTENDER

If its ok with everyone, I would like to take the reins and start organizing the Fish Extender exchange.

If you are interested in joining the exchange please email me at dthogue5@verizon.net (dthogue5@verizon.net) (please put FE Info in your subject line) the following information

Cabin Number
Names of the Adults in your party
Names, ages and sex of the children in your party.

I propose that we cut off the sign up for participation on October 1st (or about 30 days before our cruise) to allow everyone enough time to prepare their gifts.

I don't want to step on any toes, so if someone else has started collecting this info, just let me know.

Thanks,
Tammy:wizard:



I can also keep a list of participants here (but without personal details) just as a quick reference, so people will know they've sent their info to Tammy and new people can see how long the list is and can decide if they want to participate.

Awesome! Glad you had a good time! Lucky you though that you get to have a back to back. :) I don't think DH would like it too much if I was gone from home for over a week while he was at home with the kids!:rotfl: They are still young yet and DS is still in the TERRIBLE two's stage. lol


It's a long time to wait, but I do have the Panama Canal on the Wonder to look forward to first.

I'm jealous! Have a great time!


Myelton, I just did a 'girlfriends' cruise and we had a blast!
We are getting excited already for this cruise! This is her first vacation since we graduated high school.

Maybe we can all set up a DISmeet!

So jealous you are doing the back to back. I'm tempted but being cautious in case DS doesn't like sailing as much as DH and I do! We are planning a few days in WDW beforehand so that should get us in the mood. As for me, I'm ready to go now!!! :cheer2:

Have you done a back to back before? Now I'm thinking about doing a back to back rather than going to WDW for a few days.

If you've done it can you tell me about the process of getting off the ship to 'check in' for the second leg of the trip. Do you have to wait in a long line? Is it a quick process? How long do you have to be off the boat? Also, do you know if the kids club is open on that day and do you have to re-sign your child up?

Any info you can provide to help us make our decision would be great - thanks!!!

I haven't done a b2b, but friends have. It works best if you have the same stateroom for both cruises, you don't have to pack up after the first one! After breakfast and when everyone is off the ship they have all the b2b people gather and you are escorted into the terminal to check in for the second cruise. You are all escorted back onto the ship and I think the process only takes about 1/2 hour (and it's a great opportunity for empty terminal photos! Cove Cafe is open and the whole family can go there during that time. I know there are some areas off limits and I'm not sure if you can get back into your stateroom till after lunch. I'll ask my friend and verify that for you.

Thanks so much for checking into it. I actually found another thread that answered all the questions but I'm still really torn about doing it. I'm not sure about 'losing' a day at Port Canaveral. I would love to do the 'double dip' 5 night cruise but they are only in the summer and that's too hot for me :scared1:

Wait, wait, wait....you have already BOOKED!!!! This is my first disney cruise though I have toured the ship before when I was a travel agent...I didn't know people were already booking!!!! Is now a good time to get a good deal? I am thinking of booking an outside cabin....has anyone seen the inside ones with the virtual port holes?

Thanks!

02-17-2010, 10:22 PM
The character breakfast that they have on the Magic right now is just done in one of the regular restaurants. Don't think they do them on the 3 day and don't remember about the 4 day. :confused3

I'm wondering when they are going to break down and tell us about the second adult restaurant (it will be on the other side of the ship opposite Palo, rumor is it will be called Remy's and have a French based menu).

.

Huh, interesting! I am really looking forward to checking out the new ship! And to introducing my family to the world of cruising! We will also be doing 3-4 nights at Fort Wilderness in a Cabin after the cruise while we check out WDW! So excited!

Love2Roam
02-25-2010, 01:30 PM
I hadn't heard about the 2nd adult restaurant. Makes sense since there will be so many more people on board than the Magic and Wonder. We missed Palo last time and I'm hoping they will do a Palo brunch b/c it seems you really get a taste of everything w/ that option. I can't wait!!

I finally broke down and booked this cruise yesterday for DH, two nieces and myself. I started a bad thing with my oldest niece, Maddison...her own special trip to WDW when she was six and now have to continue it with the rest of the family. In 2011 my second niece, Isabella, will be six and she wants WDW/cruise. Lucky for her older sister, she been invited too, but that seems to change on a daily basis depending on Isabella's mood for the day.:laughing: As of now it looks like we'll stay part of the week before at WDW and then do the cruise.

I was trying to hold out on booking until our Panama Canal cruise to get the discount, but all the non-connecting cabins were disappering fast, cat. 8C.

We're trying to work on getting my great neices on this cruise also. They will be a nine year old and 6 year old twins (think I got those ages right at time of cruise). We may have to leave their parents and baby brother home if the family can't pool enough funds! But their grandma, aunt and great aunts want to get them on the ship! :lmao:

It's always fun trying to get a group together...I had 20 of us on the 11/15/09 Wonder cruise. My niece loved it so much she wanted to cruise again for her special trip. They'll be leaving their parents home and baby brother too. I'll be saying "Yay for the Kids Clubs" after several park days.

Hi All....Angel, Kaz....are Mark and Richard onboard with booking this cruise? I sure hope so. If you book, I will too. I have already ran it by John and he's happy about it. He's so easy to please when it comes to DCL cruising. I could tell him we're booking anything and he would say OK let's go!

This will be my 7th booked cruise in the next year and a half. I love DCL.

Everyone, there is no character breakfast on a 4 nighter. Sorry. I'm sad about it too. I love those.

I'll book with my current travel agent. I would highly recommend her if you don't use anybody else. You will get the onboard credit with her as well. If you want her info, just PM me and I'll send it to you.

I will be soooooooo happy to call my travel agent for this one. But I just paid another installment on my now 7 cruises so I'll have to wait until next week to free up some more funds. I'll be booking 5150 if it's still available, if not then something close by.

We will stay a few days and use our points and do the F&W/parks.. :banana: OK I am excited.. !!!! :dance3:second seating!! :cool1:



Hi Susan, well this answers one of my questions to Jackie. I can't wait to get to know you. I hope all goes well with your booking.

Hi All....Angel, Kaz....are Mark and Richard onboard with booking this cruise? I sure hope so. If you book, I will too. I have already ran it by John and he's happy about it. He's so easy to please when it comes to DCL cruising. I could tell him we're booking anything and he would say OK let's go!
TBH Deb, I shan't be mentioning too much to Rich right now. I've suggested we do the IF&WF in November 2011 as well as cruise on the Dream with y'all and he's agreed. That's enough for him at the moment as he's more than a bit preoccupied with work. I will explain the details when we're on vacation at the end of the month and he can properly engage... :hug:

Everyone, there is no character breakfast on a 4 nighter. Sorry. I'm sad about it too. I love those.
I love a character brekkie - but I'm sure breakfast with our "family" of characters will be more than amusing... ;)

Looks like the Champagne Girls will be partying again....WOOHOO!!!!

party: http://bestsmileys.com/drinking/10.gif party:

Well, when the site lets us we'll get it booked!!
It doesn't like our booking at the moment......is it trying to tell us something?! At least I got Mark to agree anyway.......champagne girls....here we come!!
I had a few problems too, Mandy! But we got there in the end and I'm sooo looking forward to trying the Cat 6A!!! :goodvibes

I'm so happy, I could just spit!

....Well that's an interesting way to express it, but I'm with you on this one....so I'll spit too!:laughing:

http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s84/cheztaylor/General%20PIcs/spit.gifhttp://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s84/cheztaylor/General%20PIcs/spit.gif

Jackie, if the family comes with you....we all need to be at the same table. I missed you on Tortola because we were separated. I hope we can all sit together this time, not next to each other.
It was fabulous fun, wasn't it Deb??? :yay:

All done!! Aft on deck 9 so just below you Karen! Definately would like to sit together for dinner girls :hug:

oh....and I'm spitting right along with y'all (is that how you say it?)

OK!!!Enough spitting!!! :rotfl2::lmao: :rotfl2:
I'll try not to make too much noise above you, Mandy!!! :laughing: What's your stateroom?? We're in #10158 right on the corner...

I think by the time we're done we'll need several tables and engage in rotational seating! I think Marsha and Susan and her DH are looking to join us (Mickeyfan1 and gefric). The family are now experienced DCL cruisers so I don't need to monitor/shepherd them anymore!
The more the merrier!!! :cool1:

Hi Kaz, like Richard, Mark is snowed under at work right now (think he'd have agreed to anything really) :( He worked 20 hours last Friday!! Hope he can wait for this holiday!

Think it was 9669 we booked., an inside, ....we decided as it was only a 4 day we could spend the extra on the rest of the holiday this time....hope I don't miss the verandah though!

We really are going to be almost directly under your cabin...lol!!! That corner one looks great btw!:woohoo:

We're hoping to spend some time in WDW (have to do the F & W festival) and then at Universal too........lots of planning to do :banana:

Positive thoughts and pixie dust that it works out for you both. You would both be SO VERY missed if you're not with us.

I had my own reality check today...since my finances changed from last year to this I knew I could afford all 7 cruises that I currently have booked. But I forgot to work out DH John's vacation time. EEK!!! I'm going to have to scale back the days before/after cruise that I was planning on doing and just keep it short....one day here or there and that's it. But if I do that then I don't have to give up any of my booked cruises...which is the more important thing. Whew! I was extremely worried for a little while today and relieved when I worked it all out on paper. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

We like to do champagne tastings onboard. It's a ladies only function and all are welcome. We charge a small fee and everyone has a good time.

Here's a few pics of previous tastings.

That would make things very easy. I would love it if we could do it in PINK. I'll be in touch with DCL function requests and find out what they can offer us. Not yet. It's too soon. They like you to make your requests one month before cruising. I'll do it two months out just to be certain. I can't wait to see what they say.

It's like they made the lounge just for us. I really think we gave them the idea. Angel, do you hear this.

UKAngel is the original champagne girl....she and I cooked it up one day while chatting on another thread. This will be the first cruise where we get to do it together and doing it in PINK which makes it even more special.:lovestruc:lovestruc

Don't laugh....I have 3 different tiaras that I wear with formal outfits, but the Champagne Girls need to match for their picture. That's why I provide them for you and they are pink. But we'll talk about the specifics at a later date. I don't want to become redundant. I'd prefer to explain everything one time. No need to worry about it now. :cutie:

This sounds great! Mind if I join you? I don't drink champagne, but I can do water! I hadn't heard of the Champagne girls before but I am a member of the DIS Divas over on the Disneyland board. It's a great group and this one sounds awesome as well. I booked the cruise today and am so thrilled. It will be my first disney cruise though I have toured one of the ships when I was a travel agent.

Looking forward to planning and getting to know you all better!

We-ell, last year it ran from September 25 until November 8th - so late September to early November as a general guideline, Mandy...

We should be able to sneak in prior to the cruise - that's what I'm planning for Mr Tart and myself!!! Silly man has NEVER been and he loves food and wine (especially wine)... I, on the other hand, have been for the last 3 years!!! :rolleyes1


we love it too! ( more opps for fizzy);) That's good, we should manage to get there before then :cool1: Richard is sure to love it!

Pam and I may be booking a couple of staterooms for this cruise (the 4 day only) while we are on next week. Might as well lock in a rate while the family decides, we can always move or cancel if we need to.

Let's see.....how many staterooms can I take credit for now? I think DCL owes me a drink of the day at least!

Kaz, when you are on the ship just tell the booking agent you want to reshop a cruise you booked on line. (Have you booked this one with a TA? It's easier to do if you have NOT used a TA, I think.) As long as the price of this cruise doesn't change significantly over the next six months, you should be able to at least be $100 ahead with the OBC. :thumbsup2

Hi All.

Angel, the food and wine festival will definitely be in full swing before this cruise. We should all try and do a mini meet there and have some fun.

Monica, YEAHHHH I'm so glad you and Cheri will be onboard with us. It wouldn't be the same without you. Now we have more birthday celebrating to do. I'll be celebrating my birthday too even though we won't be onboard for it. I'm only doing the four day not the b2b and my birthday isn't until the 18th. So I'll just have to celebrate early! WOOHOO Scorpios unite!

I may even have a cabin mate for you if you want to consider that...and she's a FL resident, so if discounts come out you could save some $$. Plenty of time to think about that...just know it's a possibility.

I can't believe I have 5 cruises booked for next year. I had to squeeze the info on my signature. The 2011 cruises went all the way across the page. I had to shorten some to make it look better.

If I have to cancel one because of time and money then I told John we would cancel the WBTA even though our good friends will be on it. I hope we can do them all, but one never knows. Either way, I'll be on this one.

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1994731

I wrote funny stuff on there like: not having a tag is like....not winning lotto....stuff like that and exactly one week later I got my tag.

Maybe that worked or maybe I just got lucky, but it's worth a try.

OK Deb, I was trying to figure out why your name looked so familiar like I've seen tons of posts by you. I figured it out... we were both posting on the September 19th, 2009 thread, and you were my partner in crime figuring out what to call our little group, the P.I.R.A.T.E.S. You had lots of creative ideas! And you posted pictures of a (bday?) dinner you went to in a beautiful dress and matching silver nail polish. :) I ended up going on the March 21, 2009 cruise instead, and it looks like you might not have made it either?

Anyway, that's why you seem so familiar!

UKANGEL, what did your tag say before?

Melissa, you're absolutely right and I do remember. When I saw your name, I looked at your cruises to see if we were on any together because you were very familiar to me too. But I couldn't place you anywhere that I had been. NOW it makes sense. You are so right, I was going to do a b2b cruise in Sept 09.....the first week was Tortola and the second week was the 9/19 P.I.R.A.T.E.S. cruise. I ended up cancelling the second week, but I still did the Tortola cruise. So glad we'll be on this cruise together so that we can finally meet. I'm looking forward to it.:cutie:

Hi everyone, can I join in? I decided to come out of lurkdom to join this meet thread. Oh, and to test out my new ticker. :3dglasses

I've been lurking on disboards ever since my sister convinced me to try a cruise. We settled on DCL since she hadn't tried them yet and we had both heard good things.

It'll be my family (me, DH, DS-3yo, DD-wee babe), my sister's family (her and husband + 3 boys!) and my in-laws. I'm sure my sister will join the thread too as we get closer.

I managed to snag the two corner Cat 9 rooms on deck 8 for us and my ILs (the ones that look a bit bigger and are HC on the lower decks). I hope they turn out to be good. I'm a little worried because FIL is a little prone to motion sickness and these rooms are all the way forward.

I have to say, the champagne girls sound like a blast! Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

You all can come use my pool and I'll serve ice cream, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be the same. :teeth:

Wonder how the EBTA is going? I wish I was on it! Not quite there in life yet, though. I'd love to do the Panama Canal as well, but can't take the kids out of school that long, so I have to wait until they are in college I guess. DH used to say he couldn't do more than a week, but the other day he said he could probably do 2 weeks. I think he's weakening, lol.

UK Angel -- we've got our "extra kid" here for 10 weeks, he's from England (Newcastle). He's a 20 year old soccer coach who comes and stays with us a couple times a year and we've adopted him into the family. He keeps complaining that we don't have a kettle, lol. Apparently we Americans are lacking in that particular department. :laughing: Also our chocolate is not up to par. Last time he came he brought me about 20 Yorkie bars. Love those things (except I gained about 5 pounds!) Now if I could just get him to bring me 20 Kinder Eggs...

OK so it's all change in Taylor Towers.

Mr Tart (aka Richard) has just left the mean giant US investment bank he worked for to join a smaller, much friendlier US investment bank and is on so-called 'garden leave' for 3 months. Which is fab... :yay:

BUT the fiscal year is different at the new place and ends in - wait for it -NOVEMBER... :faint: SO he won't be joining us on this cruise. And I won't get him to the IF&WF for yet another year - which, given that he loves both food and wine, seems ridiculous... :headache: Oh well, September 2012 (and our 30th wedding anniversary) is calling...

I am still in - you don't get rid of me that easily... ;)

That's how I'm feeling, Miss Jackie. :sad: :yay: ;) However, I'm now debating whether to book the B2B as I'll be a free n easy solo traveller. :goodvibes I'll have to give it some thought...

Jackie, can you change my state from FL to SC? We live in South Carolina, actually. Thanks!

I'm too lazy to look up my docs, but if I remember correctly, we're on deck 8, all the way forward. We're in one of the squarish, corner cat 9A rooms. I hope they turn out to be good! We booked my MIL and FIL in the other corner room on our deck.

Done!

I got a PM from myelton01 and she will not be joining us on this cruise now. :sad1: But she will be doing a family cruise earlier next year! She promises to pop in and give us her review of the Dream! :thumbsup2

KAZ...yes, stay on for the B2B now and play longer with us!

SO I now have the 11/10/11 cruise on 'hold' with the DCL website!!! :woohoo: Managed to get the same stateroom but might change to a lower category to save a few $$$ (currently Cat 6A) if I can't find anyone to come with me... :thumbsup2

OK so it's all change in Taylor Towers.

Mr Tart (aka Richard) has just left the mean giant US investment bank he worked for to join a smaller, much friendlier US investment bank and is on so-called 'garden leave' for 3 months. Which is fab... :yay:

BUT the fiscal year is different at the new place and ends in - wait for it -NOVEMBER... :faint: SO he won't be joining us on this cruise. And I won't get him to the IF&WF for yet another year - which, given that he loves both food and wine, seems ridiculous... :headache: Oh well, September 2012 (and our 30th wedding anniversary) is calling...

I am still in - you don't get rid of me that easily... ;)



Thats a shame he won't be joining us Karen, but glad he has another job sorted :hug:

Good morning Mandy!

I've been spending the morning checking in on all my cruise threads. With two B2Bs booked and the 2 day cruise to nowhere, I'm pretty busy with that!.

(There isn't a thread for the 3 day following this cruise, so at least I have a break there.)

THen there is the Vancouver information thread to check on and the prior WBPC and EBTA folks to keep in contact with. No wonder I don't get anything done around the house! :lmao:

If you don't bring anyone along I'm betting you could get Peggy to share with you on the 3 day portion. She's a good roommate, very tidy and organized and FUN. I know she won't want to be getting off the ship with the batch of family that is only doing the 4 day, when her two sisters are staying on board! She can join in with us, of course, but I'm betting she'd rather have a verandah and only ONE roomate. :lmao: ......just a thought.....

I know I would! I hope to book on Thursday or Friday, provided there is a rep on board. There seemed to be a lot of inside cabins still open, and solo sailing mean it aint cheap.

PS, I have never done a 4 night, either. Another first.

We officially hit our first 100 degree day yesterday, but do have a cool front on it's way, so hopefully no more of those till June!

I may, or may not, do chores today. Will definately pay bills. Tomorrow is the LOST series finale, so I'll be sure I have beverages and munchies to get me through that adventure. I told my boss it was like my Super Bowl Sunday tomorrow! :lmao:

I foresee a nap in my future, later today!

WTPug? Actually, when I worked for a while we had WDW discounts and then that went away but we got to cut in line on Spaceship Earth, after going up in the secret elevator and being able to get a cold drink and use a very clean potty.

I like not working more than I like corporate perks.

GEEZ! Finally finished readying the board......Sounds like this is going to be a fun cruise. Ok a list of things i read and want to comment about......

Count me in on Champagne girls Party. I do not drink Champagne but would love to join in.

Celebrations....our 15 yr anniversary is in 2011, we celebrate it LATE in the year because DH is in the military and we know that if we do our vacations in October or November it will not be interrupted by a possible 2 week active training.

ummm....i think there was other stuff i wanted to comment on but that was an hour of reading so i cant remember.

Cannot wait to get to know everyone one!!!!

OH by the way our trip will be our 3rd Disney Cruise, it will be myself and DH, we are childless parents (foster parents). we are doing a B2B nov 3-10. As of right now we have stateroom 7186 on hold until i get in touch with TA to put our deposit down!
