Count us in too! I'm not a big drinker but would love to come and watch others crawl!

Oh there will definitely be some crawlers!!! I'm sure we will put on quite a show for the non-drinkers to watch!

Just got this email from DCL:

Dear Molly,

Thank you for choosing a Disney Cruise Line vacation. We look forward to sailing with you and want to take this opportunity to share with you some important information as you prepare to pack for your vacation. You'll want to make room for your costume, because this year we've created an all-new event, Halloween on the High Seas, and we'll be celebrating with themed offerings on your sailing.

The Disney Dream will unveil Halloween on the High Seas with new events and activities along with a costume contest for adult Guests and a special costume parade for children on the following sail dates:

September 22 September 26 October 3
October 6 October 10 October 13
October 17 October 20 October 24
October 27 October 31

Though not required, we encourage Guests of all ages to bring their costumes and join in our expanded Halloween celebration. From spellbinding stories, fun-filled family entertainment and yummy treats, we've tried to think of everything to make these voyages special. While there will be themed activities throughout the cruise, on one special evening, children will receive candy treat bags in their staterooms that they can bring along to a ship-wide party to collect even more treats. On this same evening, prizes will be awarded to our adult costume contest participants based on the following categories:

Funniest Most Spooky
Best Group Most Original
Most Disney

More information on themed nights, times and locations will be available onboard in the Personal Navigator that will be delivered to your stateroom.

Please remember that while all Guests are invited to wear costumes, we ask that you choose costumes that are not obstructive or offensive. To avoid any disappointment or delay in the boarding process, we ask that when considering costume options you refrain from bringing toys or props that resemble guns, knives or other related implements, as these items will not be allowed onboard.

Again, we look forward to sailing with you and hope you have a magical cruise.

Sincerely,

The Cast and Crew
Disney Cruise Line

Hi there, It is Gabriella's 8th birthday ~ celebrating Disney style.... lol
It will be my husbands first Cruise.
If someone is up in the Concierge floor, I've got a way to get in - so if they are in the group, I'm good with that!
So excited, 99 days!!! It seems so far, yet it will be here before we know it.

Lastly, as there seem to be a few 'girlie' groups, how do people feel about alcohol being a part of the gift exchange? Just wanting to know so I can figure out my FE gifts..... I'm an early planner - sorry, just want to get a game plan together

I love the thought of finding free alcohol in my FE!!

 

[dizzi]

Lanyards would be great for the pub crawl!

and what about maps to all the bars????

 

[dizzi]

FIRST DAY ON BOARD......OR PRE BOARD Are we going to wear the Lei's as someone had suggested? So we will know who each other is?

I am fine with it and I know my DH will do it but may not keep it on the whole time in port he gets very hot. We will also be taking them off for our entrance picture.

 

[dizzi]

FIRST DAY MEET AND GREET..........WHEN AND WHERE

Are we planning on having a first day meet and greet? when and where? This will be my first time on DREAM so I cant be involved in this decision to much.

But am hoping we have one.

Hi all! I suggest that we plan to meet at the Bon Voyage lounge, midship deck 3 on the first day, before the safety drill. That area is family friendly and easy to find

 

[dizzi]

Do. Have to take our floats with us to the safety drill? We did not have to last time we were on the magic. If not we could just hang out til time to go to the drill if we want

What time is the safety drill?

 

[Kiosue]

I believe 4 pm and no you don't need life jackets. But double check with Crew once you get on board

We have never had to bring our life vests with us to the drill, and I believe you are right, the drill is at 4 (ish). So maybe we could plan to meet at 3?

Lanyards would be great for the pub crawl!

and what about maps to all the bars????

I am researching lanyards!!

I will also make a "treasure map" for the bars along with a list of the order in which we will visit the bars so that any late-comers might be able to catch up I will distribute this either at the meet up or I will deliver to staterooms on the first day

Hi all! My DH (Dave) and I (Kim) will be sailing with you. We are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and are treating ourselves to concierge. We are so excited! We have sailed on all four ships a few times but never experienced concierge before. Can’t wait to sail with you!!
