10/23/11 - Disney Dream

B-Day Roll Call??

I am trying to put together something for the B-DAY people if everyone could message me room # and Bday Date (age of kiddos) or MOM/DAD or Grandma or just post here if you don't mind

My guys will be turning 9 when we board and will be putting together something for them and shouldn't be too much trouble to accommodate everyone else. I just hope I have enough time... this cruise just snuck up on me too quickly

Only carry on's...what's your secret? I thought I was doing great with 3 pcs of luggage and 1 carry on.

We roll our clothes! DH and my clothes go into one rolling carry-on and a bookbag and the kiddies have their own small rolling carry-ons (the kid size ones). I simply roll our clothes and we get EVERYTHING in there. We went to Jamaica for a week in July and the four of us only had carry-ons. DH almost always brings his backpack which holds his laptop, so we stuff things in there and that doesn't count as a carry-on.

Then I have my camera bag, which is also not counted as a carry-on, and we store little things in there. All in all, we never pay for checked bags on trips that are 1 week and less

Hi everyone, I'm new to Disboards but definitely not new to Disney! I've been to Disney Land once and WDW 11 times. This will be my first time on DCL though, and I get the feeling this work week is going to go by verrrrry slowly!

I was wondering if anyone knows if they'll be showing the World Series on the ship. My Mom and I are BIG Texas Rangers fans, and we're hoping to catch the games, but they're broadcast on the Fox Networks (not ABC or ESPN).

Already too excited to sleep!

We are BIG Texas Rangers Fans too!!

Or you could fly Southwest and have room for the kitchen sink...hmmm that would be 4 checked 4 carry ons plus personal items

Southwest is almost NEVER cheap for us. We're flying US Airways and usually, airfare for the 4 of us is $600. This time around we only had to pay $400 for the 4 of us roundtrip (US Airways) because we had travel vouchers

We are BIG Texas Rangers Fans too!!

I was hoping there'd be more Rangers fans on board! Can't wait to see our boys win it all! I went out late Saturday night and bought the ALCS Champion shirts right after the win. Are you from Texas?

I won't get mugged if I wear my cardinals hat will I

I won't get mugged if I wear my cardinals hat will I

Haha, of course not! Looking forward to the rivalry, hopefully we can all find a place to catch the games. I'm guessing 687 will have it showing via satellite, or maybe we'll get REALLY lucky and they'll show it on deck!

 

[tommycruiser]

I'm really only cheering for the cards because a cruise friend is a big fan. Had other friends that are from wisc they lost out unfortunately.

Been to the cards stadium very nice never been to texas stadium yet.

I'm a twins fan first then a red sox fan mainly

 

[lawgal]

My brother and dad are HUGE Red Sox fans, but my heart belongs to the Rangers. I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, so I'm able to go to games often.

My mom and I are also doing the cruise followed by WDW/Food and Wine Festival. I've never cruised before, and never been to the Festival, so I am really excited about these new Disney adventures!

 

[tommycruiser]

Cruising is great this is my 1st Disney but 28th over all and love the food and wine festival

I'll try and find the link for all the food and wine available at each country and post it
