Disney Dream Cruise December 4, 2015

Has anyone ever been on a Disney cruise at holiday time? I was looking at the website and it looks like it will be amazing. I've been to Disney World at Christmas and it's all decorated. I'm assuming the ship will be the same.
 
Has anyone bought from the Floral & Gifts and have it delivered to their stateroom? I've done this on other cruise lines and it's pretty cool.
 
We are taking Mickey's Magical Express coach from the airport to the ship. Seems really cool. Has anyone taken the Disney transportation before?
 
Hi we are on this cruise too. Would love to be added to the roll call and FE. Two adults.

Welcome! :welcome:

I'm coordinating this FE. Can you PM me the following?


-Cabin #
-Names, Ages, & Favorite characters
-Any allergies (please indicate if it's cabin-wide or just for specific individuals)
-Any special celebrations
-Castaway club level for each member
-E-mail (so I can send you the final list for your group when it is ready)

I'll send out a final list after the deadline!

I was on the Magic in December 2009. It was great. Gingerbread house on the ship, huge tree in the atrium, tree on castaway cay. Even the terminal and the castaway cay shuttles were decorated!

Our second cruise we used Disney transport and it was nice but we have had rental cars all the other cruises. For the seven night we did a return and new rental (at nearby port with shuttle) but for others we have just parked at the port (worked out to be cheaper since we had such a good rate.)

We did a seven night on the Fantasy 2012. Like Slykrab said- beautifully decorated. Characters dressed in holiday attire. You can make a gingerbread house.

On the 7 night (not sure if there is time on a 3 night) they had 4 D showing of Nightmare Before Christmas and a meet and greet with Jack and Sally. Edit- I just realized this was on a Halloween cruise not the Christmas. And it was a 3 night cruise. Because Jack had everyone around sing Happy Birthday to my daughter. Ugh- old brain-:crazy:


So hold off on sending those Christmas cards out- you should be able to get the perfect photo for it during the cruise or at Castaway Cay (my favorite place that I have ever visited).

Hi all!! I am so so sorry I never came back. When I originally posted, I was told I didn't have enough posts to start the thread for this cruise. I just figured I'd wait for someone else and come back and post. Then, I never made it back (lots of stuff going on in life).

Needless to say, I can really use this getaway and am very excited about it! I will try to post more later - I want to catch up reading.

I'm only posting this short note now to tell @gerberdaisy1234 that I am so thankful that she took the lead on all of this. Just tell me what I need to do/post on an edited first post, and I'll get it done this weekend, ok? :)

Yay! 77 days!! (yes, I'm counting)

Hi! One of my best friends went and she said it was amazing! We live in Orlando and go to see the lifesize gingerbread house at the grand floridian resort every year and apparently there is a life size gingerbread house on the disney dream too! She said it made the ship smell wonderful! Everything is decorated, even castaway cay. I can't wait!

I haven't ordered anything for our room before but our son is turning 9 on the cruise and we are thinking about having something for his birthday in the room. I wish they had something star wars themed though now that star wars is joining the ship. He is a huge star wars fan! It's the whole reason we changed plans from a cruise on the magic to the dream!
 
All of my previous posts to this thread have disappeared, however my name is on the list several pages back when i signed up months ago. When I looked at threads I am watching or conversations I am having it says none however in my gmail I have emails that alert me to responses to posts I made months ago! I don't understand how I have disappeared from this thread?
 
I am going to try doing what someone else did earlier with 10 posts in a row and see if that makes a difference.
 
Hello Everyone! We just booked this cruise a few days ago and i am beside myself with excitement! I have 4 kids my girls are 10, 9, 6 and an almost 3 year old boy. we have been on a few disney cruises before but never during Christmastime. also, so happy to be able to see the changes from Drydock.
 
Hi, I am new here can anyone please tell me how to message someone? or is it because i haven't posted 10 times yet?
 
Carriesabo, We have ordered flowers and chocolate covered strawberries and champagne from Florals and gift and it was all wonderful!

Yay!!! You're back!!! I am so excited. Don't worry about updating the first post unless you have the time and energy:). This should be a fun part of your planning. I have a roll call going and Slykrab has the FE going. At some point if you want you can copy and paste roll call and FE info or just refer people to the page/post numbers for the info. It can be helpful to newcomers on long threads especially but ours is still small enough people can read through.

Just glad you are still joining us:):welcome:back!
