March 24th,2013 / 4 nights Bahamas

[RopeDrop]

My family is looking forward to cruising on the Dream. We've cruised a couple times before, but never with Disney. We're from the St. Louis area, and our daughter is 9 years old. We're interested in participating in the "Fish Extender" game - just read about it and think it's a great idea!! Does anyone know if a list has been started for our cruise yet?

Hey! You'll love the Disney cruise and so will your daughter. We arrived late to this thread as well, so we missed the FE cut off too. I picked up a couple of things at the store that I'm planning to let my girls distribute to the friends they meet on the ship. (Simple stuff. bubbles, candy, some disney stickers) If you're planning to come to the DIS meet, I would be happy to add your cabin to our list.

Our DD is also 9 and will be hanging out in the Lab/Club. Maybe they could write to each other before the cruise and meet at the Dismeet on the first day? PM me with your e-mail.

Is there a list for the DIS meet? If I'm not already on there, please add us in! We're in cabin 6570 and we're participating in the FE exchange, so we're already on that list. Thanks!

We still haven't made arrangements for transportation from our WDW Resort to PortCanaveral. How is everyone else getting there? Looking for other options than the Disney Shuttle. Thanks

I live in the Orlando area so we are driving over from the Poly. We debated about taking the bus or town car but both are more expensive than using my own car + I have a sunpass for tolls.

I don't know if there a list. Just a location and time. I think it's 3:00 in the Vista Cafe.

 

[podsnel]

No list! Just please come to the Vista Cafe at 3- we can meet and mingle before we muster, and get a group pic on the stairs before we go!

Yes! Us too, but we're not packing. We're sledding!

 

[scrapbookjulie]

Snow Day for us, too! I thought we dodged this crummy weather this year. We're just getting hit later than usual. Is it bad that I always hope for really bad weather here, though, when we're down in Florida for spring break??

 

[3princessMommy]

Wishing for a snow day tomorrow, but guessing we won't get as much as they say we "might" get. I think they are just trying to get my hopes up!

We have had a few storms with strong winds and heavy rains and temps in 50's - gotta love the South! Can't wait to be on the Dream once again!

I'm freaking out a tiny bit. Just wondering if anyone has seen this happen before or could have an explanation for it...

Someone asked for the schedule of when ships are in Castaway Cay. I clicked the link for fun to see our ship schedule. It's not there. I went to the whole Dream schedule. For our cruise, it just says No Information Available. It says the same thing for the Fantasy that week. I checked the Nassau schedule next. I KNOW we used to be on that because I remember it was just our ship and one other. Now it just shows the other ship.

So what's going on??

They are having issues at that port (Nassau)- they just turned away Norwegian Epic (last week, I think) because they didn't have room for them. Businesses in the Bahamas are REALLY angry- that's 4100 passengers who didn't spend a dime in Nassau that day. I hear Atlantis is saying they lost a bundle.

I am not worried at all about CC- and really, not worried about any of it, I guess, because that is the only place I think I am getting off. But I hope Nassau figures it all out for everyone else before we get there!

 

[scrapbookjulie]

Interesting. Wonder why OUR Dream cruise is the only one off the schedule.

 

[podsnel]

I guess time will tell.........

I wonder if it's because both our cruise and the Fantasy one for that week are both sold out??? Fingers crossed!!!!
