Dream special rooms - now that we see the pictures! ** Index now in Post 7 **

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

The extended verandahs have ALL of the verandah space of the ones above them PLUS the amount that you see in Cass' photo. They are really quite large. As I think I mentioned before, I was able to fit 14 people comfortably on mine while watching the fireworks.

Thanks for your reply!
That's what I was thinking but then those pics and the placement of the chairs almost identical in each verandah had me wondering. LOL Thanks! (although if the verandah wasn't the same amount covered- I guess that would mean the room would have to be bigger so duh, I should have been able to figure that out on my own haha)

Yeah! We booked these two also! When are you sailing? We're on the Dream on October 21st. (I hope you're going first so you can give me all kinds of tips and such - it's our first cruise ever!)

And, lots of pictures of course!

*A side note - I somewhere read that smoking is allowed on Deck 9 - does that mean our rooms could smell like smoke???

We are not sailing until Thanksgiving. How about you??

We just booked our first ever cruise for March 2013. I know nothing about rooms, categories, and what not, but I would love to see and photos of room 7098 and the veranda. I looked at the list earlier in this thread, but didn't see it. Thanks.

Thank you! This will be our 3rd Disney Cruise but first with a porthole (Cat 8D).

We have always been in Cat 10 but splurged this year....

 

[mickeywho?]

Ok - I've searched and searched.
Can anyone give me an opinion for cat 9B connecting rooms 2000/2002. I don't see it marked on the pics and I'm trying to figure out size of porthole and if the shape of the first room, 2000, is any different as it seems to be the first one on that floor.
Thanks!

double post - ugh!

Hi-- Just got our GTY room for the Dream. (First time with GTY!) We have 5526. Is that one of the extended verandahs, or are the first couple of verandahs the normal size? I tried looking through the pictures via the Index, but I couldn't tell. If you could direct me to a picture of 5526 (or 5026) that would be great! Thanks!

 

[TiggerAllie]

Bump, because I am hoping for info on if 5526 has an extended balcony or not! TIA!

Based on what she said in the post 5026 (and I'd assume 5526 is the mirror opposite) does have an extended verandah (yay for you!). The only issue is that from the 5026 and 5526 balconies you can can see directly into 5024 and 5524 (those got downgraded).

Happy sailing -- and look forward to seeing you on the Alaska cruise!

Beth-- Thanks for the detective work! It'll be cool to see how big the extended verandahs really are. I'll keep an eye out to see if 5524 can see in to our room/verandah (usually it goes both ways)!

Ok, yes I am a bit tired after staying up last night to do on-line check in. However, on the first post of this thread I am able to see the Starboard side of the Dream with the cabin numbers. But I am interested in the Portside of the Dream. Does anyone know where I can find those pictures?

Does anyone have a pic of the deluxe family stateroom cat 4 with the extra inside room in it or can point me to it on here??

That reminds me, I really need to add a wide-angle lens to my kit

What lens is that shot with?

Thanks!

I own the Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens, but I broke that before my honeymoon. So while that was in the shop, I rented the Tokina 10-17mm Fisheye. I LOVED it! I really want a fisheye now, even in addition to my wide angle. On my flickr you can see a ton of pictures around WDW and the Dream that I used the Fisheye for.

Which brings up the fact that renting specialty lenses for vacations is the best idea. Give it a try!

Huh? Never heard of a cat 4 like that. Has anyone else? The closest thing I've heard to this is one of the 8A rooms that is like a mini suite because of the partial wall between the bedroom and the sitting area, but it only accommodates no more than 3 people.

the cat 4 has the extra room past the couch were the murphy bed would be before the verandah, just like the 8d, 8c, 8b rooms.
