Dining Rotations- E is Enchanted Garden, A is Animator's Palate, and R is Royal Palace. ERAA means the first night is in Enchanted Garden, second in Royal Palace, and the 3rd and 4th in Animator's. And so on for the other rotations.

I booked my excursions last night and got everything I wanted. The Graycliff Wine Luncheon at Nassau, Palo brunch, Remy dinner, Palo dinner, a cabana on Serenity Bay, and Parasailing. If anyone wants me to check availability of excursions, meals, etc before their booking window I would be happy to oblige. I was a first-timer last cruise having to book 75 days out, and to take the scraps so it was very exciting to see everything available this time.

Welcome! We will be celebrating our granddaughter's 1st birthday on this cruise too! Her big sister will be 6, so sounds like we have similar age groups going...I know our 6 yr old is beyond excited!

We will be on the Disney Dream FOUR MONTHS from today - yeah!!!

Has the group leader decided on when we are going to stop taking names for our fish extenders. I am wanting to get my bags together and was wondering if I can get an updated list with the names of the groups and which ones are going to do the fish extenders. Time is getting close and need to get finished. Really looking forward to the exchange hope everyone else is too.

Hoping to meet everyone that is involved in the exchange while on the cruise.

Sarah - I think the updated list is on pg 2, post #30. I also think I read on another post that it will be closed out about a month before the cruise. I just told my daughter today that we have to get our FEs made and the exchange gifts ready...that last month is always busy for me with other preparations so I'm trying to get as much done ahead of time as I can.

We are staying in Cocoa Beach the night before the cruise but were undecided about post-cruise. Yesterday we booked the 2 nights following the cruise at a beachfront hotel further north in FL. We thought that might make a nice, relaxing end to our vacation and it will knock a couple of hours off of our long drive home

I watched the Dream sail out of Port Canaveral on the webcam again today, the captain played several tunes with the horns - love it!

Just learning about FE. It's our first cruise, but we'd love understand more about what we need to do to participate.

I would greatly appreciate some information on cabana availability...I am one of those scrap takers who have to wait FOREVER to try to book. I may ping you every once in a while to find out at least up until 2/19. So stressful, LOL!!!

 

[texasgirl73]

As of right now only Cabana 2 (on the family beach) and Cabana 20 (on Serenity Bay)are showing to be available.

And for anyone who is wondering, I checked and Pirate Night is scheduled for night 3.

 

[mrsromy]

Thanks for the info!! Now I know when to deliver my pirate themed FE goodies to the kiddos

 

[pixiedixie862]

Been a lurker for the past couple of weeks, decided to finally make the plunge and register. This is my second disney cruise (first one was last year in September for my late honey moon) and my second cruise is this one! Cant wait!! Being a west coaster, I cannot wait to know what it feels like to travel to Florida (never been outside of Cali other than Nevada). I will definately be a huge tourist!

I have no kids so its only my husband and I. I want to participate in the FE just cause I know it would be fun but I definately need to learn more about it. But I will most likely join in Already have ideas.

Welcome, glad you are joining us! Your first cruise, how exciting!

To participate in FEs, I think you just need to confirm that you will be participating and list your cabin number. LadyZy will then add your info to the list.

We booked a boat tour for the afternoon at Nassau. I am just trying to decide what to do that morning. I thin straw market will be one thing. Also I want my daughters to try conch. We had cooked several ways on our 20th anniversary trip in Grand Bahamas and it delicious. What are your plans for that day ?

 

[pixiedixie862]

Unfortunately I will no longer be joining this trip Our finances are not where we would like them to be. I will have to reschedule but not sure when. Super bummed though cause this is not something I expected. Have fun everyone.
