Hi everyone! I just booked this cruise and am so excited! It will be me(21) and my mom! We are both first time cruisers! I planned this in hopes of them doing the castaway challenge after wine and dine. I just completed my first ever 5k during marathon weekend and am thinking I want to do the half at wine and dine!

Welcome aboard.

They are several of us here planning on doing both the half at Wine & Dine and the Castaway Cay 5K. Unfortunately runDisney is not offering the Castaway Challenge as they did after marathon weekend but you will still be able to do and enjoy the Castaway Cay 5K. I was hoping that after runDisney introduced the Castaway Challenge after marathon weekend earlier this month they would offer it after each WDW race but unfortunately it doesn't look that way.

So looking forward to this

FE organizers generally need to know how many people (adults/children) are participating in each cabin. Other information you would like to share such as first names, ages of child participants, allergies, favorite characters, etc. is up to you. Other personal information is not really necessary. Those organizing FEs typically ask for the information to be posted in the meet thread or sent to them via PM.

For those posting in this Cruise Meet thread to join a FE, since no one has come forward yet to organize a FE for this cruise here on the DIS, please feel free to start the FE right in this thread.

There is certainly plenty of time to plan a FE for this cruise. All it takes is for someone to maintain a list of/for those participating which can easily be done in this thread. Cruise Meet threads have been doing it this way for years now here on the DIS.

Hi All! My name is Nicki, I booked this cruise as a surprise for my hubby- we will be celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary on 11/11!!!!! Nobody knows yet in my family because I'm afraid one of my kids (who are sitting this one out) or my loose-lipped Dad will tell him! So I've been dying to talk to someone anyone about it!

Hey everyone-- My name is Rob and my wife has talked me into the wine and dine half and then twisted my arm to go on the cruise. Any chance we can get run disney to offer the Castaway Challenge. This will be the familys 4th second time on the Dream. Cant Wait.

I would like runDisney to offer the Castaway Challenge as well during this cruise but as much as I hope I am wrong I don't think this is going to happen.

I am wondering how to find out the fish extender list, and how many people do we usually provide gifts for? I am starting to plan

DH and I just booked this cruise. We would love to do the FE.

Anyone who was planning on doing either the Wine & Dine Half Marathon or the Jingle Jungle 5K, I hope you got registered through the debacle.

That was my plan but the W&D was sold out before I could register. I guess I'll just do the CC 5K.

 

[TinkerbellinNY6]

I was able to register for W&D with no trouble! Can't wait to do my first half

 

[chirurgeon]

I'm in, Kim. Sailing with several friends.

Todd, I'll cheer you on! Then we can do Food and Wine. And Palo brunch later.

My family and I went on our first Disney cruise in December 2014, 5 nights on the Wonder. It was the most amazing vacation! We booked on board for this cruise, can't wait to see the Dream! Our group consists of me, my husband, 2 daughters (5 & 8) and my in-laws. We'll be staying on Deck 2.

Hi! My name is Naomi, and my family will be on the 11/9/15 sailing. We just went on our first cruise in Dec and booked while onboard. We are sure hoping that we can get to Castaway Cay this time! We didn't get to dock in Dec, and several of the CMs said that it was the roughest sailing they had been on in a couple of years.

We'd love to participate in the FE group!

We did our first cruise in December! We were on the Wonder and CC wasn't in the itinerary. But we definitely encountered some rough seas! Hoping the Dream is smoother in November

Hi everyone!

Just booked this as an anniversary trip for me and the hubster...he doesn't know and I'm thinking about making it a surprise! We cruised over Spring Break with our three littles and totally drank the kool-aid and couldn't wait to do another trip. This time we are going sans kids and can't wait to partake in some of the adult activities, especially Serenity Bay...ahhhhhhhhhh.

My sister, who has done more than a dozen cruises on multiple lines, tells me that Royal has the exact same iten and dates as this trip for 1/2 the cost. But, I'm afraid I'll miss the Disney experience too much! I mean, seriously, I'd be so disappointed to not hear the Disney music, see the characters, get to see first-run Disney movies...right, y'all?

Question: Does anyone know if this will be one of the Very Merrytime Cruises? If so, that totally seals the deal. I'm crazy about Christmas and there is nothing better than Disney decorations during the holidays.

Look forward to spending the next few months with you all.

Have a happy day!!!

I believe a recent article on the blog stated that this will be the first sailing decorated for the Christmas holiday on the Dream.

According to the Disney Cruise site the Very MerryTime Cruise sail dates are still TBD. However, I hope that the previous poster is correct and this cruise will be the first sailing decorated for the Christmas holiday.
