We just had dinner with most of our group this evening. They want to stay on the ship in Nassau as well. Can parents/grandparents watch the children in the different "kid's areas?" DIL is uncomfortable leaving the girls without a family member in the clubs or other places. I would hate for the granddaughters to miss out on these wonderful activities.

I think the ship will be really crowded on Nassau day as no one seems to be getting off, I hope DCL adds activities as there is usually not much going on for port days. Not too worried about the pool this trip as last March it was too cold to swim and the girls did not get in the pool once, I am more worried about the crowds for the characters.
Woke up this morning to a bright sunny day, 4" of fresh powder snow and -4F feeling like -27F with the wind chill. I can't wait to get on the DREAM.
Well, coming from a teen (who has sailed on Disney Cruises ever since a kid), I never seen parents around the clubs. You can come and check up on them every now and then. I can't tell you exactly if they would allow adults coming in and staying with their kids in the kids' clubs. I believe (and this is what I think, but when you get there, you can totally ask and get a better and correct answer) that the kids' counselors don't allow parents/guardians to stay with the kids in the clubs, because for most kids the clubs are like "a parent free place" but hey, that's what I've experienced, and have been told by cruising peers.
Like I said, you should ask on the first just to make sure it's okay I can tell you that the Disney Cruise has the safest and funnest kids' clubs in the world The counselors are totally friendly, and professional.
I hope this answered your question.
Thanks PattyCakeTV and Disney's Fan. I explained to my DIL Saturday evening that counselors supervise the children, and I really hope the kiddos get to experience the Clubs, etc. There is so much designed there just for them, but Mom is concerned they will get into trouble that she would not otherwise allow. DIL has been talking with and receiving advice from a co-worker who did a 7-night over Christmas. Maybe DIL will ask the friend about the Clubs, or maybe she already has... My only concern would be the sheer number of kids on this cruise. Hope they have lots of extra counselors on hand. This ship is full!

WE ARE NOT THAT FAR AWAY FROM YOU. WE STAY CLOSE TO THE BELTWAY AND FALLBROOK BY THE RACE TRACK. WE WILL LEAVE FRIDAY MORNING AND SPEND THE NIGHT WITH MY MOM WHO LIVES IN LAKE CHARLES, LA. WE WILL LEAVE LC AT 2:00 AM (SAT MORNING) IN ORDER TO MAKE IT TO ORLANDO BY NOON.WOW! This thread has exploded! I have not been on in some time. Work has me so busy as I am sure the other teachers can confirm! I am getting so excited. I watched the christening of the ship Wednesday and couldn't believe we are going to be on that beautiful vessel in just over a month! There are so many people coming from the Houston area. We live up by IAH. Anyone else from this area?
We are leaving Houston Friday morning and driving to Orlando. My BIL lives in Tallahassee and we will stop to see them. We are staying in the Bay Lake Towers on Saturday and heading to the port early Sunday. After the cruise we are at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. I notice there are a few of us staying there as well.
I am very excited to meet everyone. I am going to order my FE this week, hopefully and start getting my gifts together. I haven't decided just what to get yet. I am not very crafty, so I will have to purchase them, unfortunately. I am excited to see what everyone else comes up with. This is our first FE experience and my kids are going to love it. Thanks Soccermom for organizing this for us. I sent you a PM with our missing info, but didn't mention allergies. None for us. Let me know if you got the info. My computer is acting a little crazy at times.
Well, I am off to bed. Maybe I'll have a dream about the DREAM!
Have a great week!

We are really close. You live by my former teaching partner. She is at the Fallbrook exit as well. We live in Kingwood. I cannot wait to get on that ship! It is great that you get to see your mom before your trip.
We are in Katy around Fry and 10...my Partner is also a teacher.
To all you lovely teachers!!! I am a school bus driver for Cy-Fair. I transport all the lovely children to you each and every morning. lol
