Dreaming of the Disney DREAM, Feb 17, 2013

[Douvres Family]

they do ask that you do not wear shorts in the dinning rooms, but you would not believe how many people break this rule. These dinning rooms are very nice and I would never wear shorts, but to each his own. I usually wear skirts and dresses. Jeans on Pirate night are ok too.

At this time next month we will be getting to Orlando

Thanks!

Welcome aboard do you have a Cabin number?

Has anyone heard from njkt, I searched for any post by them and they have not posted since 2011. We still need their cabin number.

Hey there, this is our first Disney cruise. We have been planning to go for 5+ years. We were supposed to go on the 5 day in August but my dad had an accident and we wouldn't dream of cruising without him. He's right as rain now and we're all super excited. I just learned what fish extenders are 30 min ago and I have a hand made biz so I am super excited to join in the swap. Are we too late?

Thanks!

You are perfectly on time. I put you on the lists in my first post and thanks to the PM you sent me I was able to update the list with details as well!
You are going to have a blast! Disney does an awesome job on their cruises!

My docs arrived today. Quick question: There's no formal night, but it also says no shorts at dinner. Is that true? We have to pack skirts for dinner? We've never cruised....help!

No, there is NO formal night, never has been. They have an optional dress up night, but not too many people really do dress up.
As for shorts. I usually wear capris or knee lenght jeans in the summer. Since this is February I intend to just wear regular jeans.
Remember you are on vacation and you do NOT HAVE TO dress up. We have seen many people in shorts and the only ones being turned away have been people in swimwear.
If you intend to go to Palo or Remy though, that's a different story. VERY strict dress code there.
If you feel comfortable in skirts (I don't) than please go for it, otherwise jeans will be fine, believe me, we cruise with Disney often enough.

I believe that there are no shorts at dinner. On our first cruise I wore capri pants and it was fine at dinner! I think that I also wore dressy jeans one night and that was fine too. Atleast, I thought it was.

Any jeans that are not torn are fine. This will be our 10th DCL cruise and travelling from Europe I do not bring too much stuff, so my regular stuff has to do and always has. Tom even wore knee lenght trousers (whatever they are called - very obvious now that English is NOT my first language ) for dinner in any dining room.

Has anyone on this thread ever walked to Junkanoo Beach? We are planning on taking a walk there on our Nassau Day and wanted to check on other people's experiences with it. Thanks!

Sorry, can't help here, as we usually just walk around a little and up to Fort Fincastle. I have no ideas on the beaches.

No shorts during dinner...casually dress attire...exceptions for small children. The Royal Palace is slightly more dressed up...

However, we did see some people not exactly dressed for dinner.

For Animators Palate & Enchanted Garden I wore a summer dress, DH & DS wore jeans, button shirts and shoes...and Royal Palace is the "dressier" night...I did wear a dress and DH slacks and shirt...

Ups, you must mean us then!
I refuse to dress up for the main dining room. I am on vacation. And in the summer I DO wear capris and a polo shirt for dinner.
I am SO happy we only do Palo brunch this time, as I don't have to lug around a suit for Tom and a pant suit for myself. We had a giggle fest last year with one of their servers as everyone was dressed to the nines and then struggled with using the cutlery. (I teach table manners, so I can tell. )

At this time next month we will be getting to Orlando

Welcome aboard do you have a Cabin number?

All their information is already on the list!

They PMed me with their information. I have sent them 2 PMs asking for their stateroom number, but so far no response. If I don't hear from them by February 1, they will be dropped from the list.

Great to have you join this thread and our cruise.

You are just in time for the FE! Please post everyone's first names, ages of kids and your stateroom number as soon as possible (I think you do not have enough posts to PM me) so I can put you on the list with details.
I put you on the lists in my first post though!

You can post it on the board if you wish...we all need to have your stateroom number so we can drop off our FE gifts to you

Some gifts may be personalized, we'll everyone's names and the ages of the children

As I mentioned in an earlier post, you will need to just post the names of everyone cruising and participating in the FE, ages of kids and your stateroom number here.

 

[SunHillMomo]

Great! We are in 6638. It's my husband and I plus 2 very excited girls, 10 & 7.

They have a ton of costumes - fairies, princesses, Incredibles, etc.

Do kids wear them on board - not counting Pirate night? Should I have them bring some?

The ads make it look like all the little girls in kids club have them on, but I've tried to explain that that's an ad and not necessarily how it goes.

I believe they have the costumes in the kids' clubs...but I did see some girls wear their costumes for pictures.

I'm sure some of the parents on this board will know.

SunHillMomo - What's everyone's names???

Welcome to our new cruisemates!!

Ok this just got real: Cruise Documents arrived

We tend to wear sundresses or capris with a nice top to dinner. Planning on doing the same this cruise.

Anyone care to guess what the weather will be like?
Hoping for 80F/27C at least!
