09/18/11 - DVCers Take Over the Dream (S.S. Member Cruise 2011)

[GoofTroop716]

After 3 hours and killing three phone batteries, we booked our spot on the DVC Member Cruise 2011. We joined the boards tonight to get to know everyone.

We will be bunking in cabin 6088.

We are interested in the fish extenders and already thinking about ideas. If any veterans remember a few years ago, my Mom (Pauline M.) helped organize the extender activity and she loved it.

Time can't pass quickly enough!

Even though Gary did not go on the 2009 member cruise, he was the pirate master for the 2009 SSMC. So, Terrie, if you want me to do it then let me know. I know how much fun you had earning the . Someone will just need to get the prize.

 

[DizDragonfly]

Heading for bed now. Goodnight all! It was wonderful to "meet" you all tonight!

We made it! Our first Member Cruise! I totally forgot to call this a.m. and remembered around noon. I didn't think we would be able to make it, but after redialing for 45 minutes and on hold for 1 hr and 45 minutes, we are in Cat 5A.
Can't wait!!

 

[GoofTroop716]

No kids here, but DH and I are ALSO very excited about the aquaduck and have watched the video multiple times tell your DS we share his enthusiasm...it does look way cool

Terrie

Does anyone know if there is a age/weight limit for the aquaduck? I'm slightly older than a teen but it looks awesome!

 

[iamdaisyduck]

We will be joining you all for this adventure!!! Soooo excited!!!!

We were one of the lucky first few to get a spot. Started calling at 8am on the nose with the house phone and 2 cell phones. My DH got through after 3 tries on his cell phone to a live person and the rest was history! We were booked by about 8:20am! Thank God! I was so nervous!!! Even with that we got a category 8B on deck 9 and she was like they just put you in 9660 because they are going fast.

This is our first member cruise!! Can't wait!! Time to start the diet or I'll be the first one to get stuck in the aquaduck

 

[GoofTroop716]

Thanks Shawn!
Ok a show of hands, who couldn't sleep last night ME holding my hand high! Oh I am so glad today is over.
Good luck to all who are wait listed.

You weren't alone. All three of us got just about three hours of sleep last night and all woke up excited between 5am and 6:30 this morning excited and chomping at the bit to call.
Now that we're booked...I can't fall asleep because I'm too excited and busy reading these boards. I'm going to the Bills game later on today, and is going to be rough (on a couple of levels).

Welcome aboard and welcome to the DISboards!

Thanks Karen!

"While the AquaDuck won’t have a weight limit (i.e. if you & that 2-person raft can actually fit inside of a 52-inch acrylic tube, you’re then good to go) – there will be a height restriction placed on the Disney Dream water coaster. And if you’re under 48 inches, you’ll then be turned away and encouraged to try out that Mickey-themed water slide down on Deck 11"

-taken from a website I can't reference because I dont have enough posts on the disboards yet

Thank you Dizdragonfly and Mousefan64. We could not be more excited about being with all of you.

Hi Michele - I see you are in Jersey! North, South or inbetween?

 

[STEAMBOAT209]

The Sunrise Coffee Club was just a group of us who were early risers who got together each morning at 6 am up on Deck 9, on the Wonder, right near the beverage station. We had some great conversations there and laughed alot! My DBFF and I made buttons that anyone who got up that early to join us got as a reward!! It was a great time and one that I will cherish always - I made some good friends on the ssmc09. I hope I can continue that tradition. But first I have to fine out where the beverage station is on the Dream!

LUVMICKEY AND I will certainly plan to join the Sunrise Coffee Club and can't wait to meet and enjoy great conversation to start the day. this is really exciting
