[dvcnewgirl]

I am so glad that there is some interest in doing FE I would love to do this - just adds that little bit more to the Dream . I have also started my door magnet collection

I really want to do FE too!

Hello everyone......DH and I have booked this cruise to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We are leaving the kids at home. We met GOLFKNUT and his better half on our first Disney Cruise way back in 2003...I think....and we have somehow talked them into cruising with us again.

We are in our 40's and I am a HUGE Disney fanatic! I can't wait for the cruise. Hope we can get a Dismeet together.

Just wanted to introduce myself and let you know that I am currently booked on this cruise!! Booked it during my WBTA and I am very excited as it will be the first cruise for my youngest DS (although youngest is actually 29).

I will be traveling solo. My oldest DS and his wife are currently booked (they have joined me on a DD in 2008 and the WBTA and we are scheduled for AK in AUG11) and as noted my youngest DS and his GF will be on their first DCL cruise (his first EVER). We will also be spending 5 days at WDW after the cruise and hope to have a MNSSHP in there too.

Count me in for the FE (hopefully there will be fish) as we always enjoy this.

Can't wait to continue conversations and eventually meet everyone!

Hey everyone, check out these cool videos. They are each about 2 1/2 minutes long, but they are great ones of the Disney Dream!

Hi everyone!

We just booked today! Woo Hoo! We are a family of Disney lovers and this will be our 4th Disney cruise, but our first on the Dream!

I am Sheri, and I'll be sailing with my hubby Pat, our son Austin and his best friend Lincoln. Austin and Lincoln will be seniors in high school and Austin decided to follow in his big brother's footsteps and pick a Disney Cruise for his graduation celebration. We are so excited!

Just wanted to pop in and say, 'Hello!' and I'm looking forward to getting to know you and planning along with you! I'd love to be included with the FE planning if there is room for another family!

No not you! J/K this has been a pretty slow thread.

Sorry, I had no idea anyone else posted to this thread, I just got the email today about your post. wonder why I haven't been getting the notifications. I will run back through and check the roll call list.


So how is everyone doing?

Less than 1 yr and we will be on the dream!!!!!

Has anyone booked the Fantasy yet?

 

[tinkerbellmom1]

No not you! J/K this has been a pretty slow thread.

My kind of girl!

Thanks for the welcome and I'm sure that as time goes on, we'll get a bit more involved in the planning and chat more!

Hi there!

We were on our 1st Anniversary cruise on the Wonder about three weeks ago, and we booked our 2nd Anniversary cruise while we were aboard. Sooo looking forward to the Dream! This will be our 3rd or 4th cruise, depending on whether or not we go through with the WBTA we booked for Sept.

We had a very small group doing the FE on the last trip, but it was really fun. We'd love to do it again!

Congratulations on both occasions-your anniversary and your cruises!

Our last Disney cruise we had to stop the FE group at 50. It was a lot of gifts! I had a bag just for the FE gift bags because I did one for each family and additional ones for each child (we cruised on Halloween!).

I'm looking forward to cruising again, too!

Happy anniversary!

Hey everybody! Just thought I'd administer a little CPR to the thread.

Has anyone volunteered to organize the FE yet? I'm doing it for the 2011 WBTA trip, and I thought as long as I'm keeping one list, I could easily keep a second one. I know it's a bit early, but it's easy to edit the list as people join or drop (no, not that!) the cruise.

Let me know if you'd like me to do this, and I'll post the info I'll need and anyone who is interested can PM me.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

That would be great! Thanks for offering!

Thank you! That sounds great as long as it isn't too much trouble for you! I'll volunteer to back you up if need be.

We're expecting multiple feet of snow this weekend. Will make it easy to get things ready for the holiday weekend. We are so excited! Our son is coming home for the first time since he left for West Point in June! Can't wait!

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[jmb910]

I haven't been getting any updates either . Thanks for signing up to organize the FE. I am also happy to help be a backup.

We haven't booked the Fantasy yet, but we are going in May, 2012. We are going to rebook on the October cruise to get the OBC and discount.

I can't believe we are less than a year out! I keep reading all this cool stuff about the Dream, and it just builds the anticipation!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

 

[PFlamingo]

Okay, sounds good! Thanks for the backup offers, too!

Anyone who wants to participate in the FE, please PM me with the following:

Subject: Dream FE
Disname
Cabin number (or TBA if not yet assigned)
First name, fellow travelers' names and relationship (DH, DD, DS, friend, etc.)
Ages of children (ages of adults are optional)
Anything you are celebrating
Any allergies, esp. food allergies


Be sure you put "Dream" in the subject, so I know you're on this trip and not the WBTA.

If anyone needs info on FE's, here are some posts you can peruse. (Thanks to karentan over on the WBTA thread, from whom I stole these!)

FE basics
fish extender info
instructions for the no sew FE
handmade FE gift ideas
other FE gift ideas

As people sign up and the date gets closer, we'll see how many we have. If the list gets long, we can talk about splitting it up. There were only 10 cabins participating on our last trip so it was really easy to get to everyone.

If anyone thinks of anything else I should include, please let me know.

And just 'cause I like to brag, here's a picture of the FE I made for our cabin. My sewing skills are better than my photography skills.

We're expecting multiple feet of snow this weekend. Will make it easy to get things ready for the holiday weekend. We are so excited! Our son is coming home for the first time since he left for West Point in June! Can't wait!

I grew up in Florida, but lived in the midwest for 10 years, where I learned that I hadn't really missed anything by growing up w/o snow. Actually, I love it if I don't have to go anywhere, and can sit in the living room w/ a glass of wine (or a cup of hot chocolate) and watch it snow. Unfortunately, when it snows here in Georgia, it means everything closes, the power usually goes out, and people who have no clue how to drive in it get out and cause accidents.

So cool that your son is coming home! That will be nice for the holiday. West Point - very impressive - I'm sure you're (justifiably) very proud of him!

First, thanks for taking on this task. I will be participating but I need to talk to the other cabins on my group (3 cabins total) along with verifying if my mom plans on joining me before I send you the information.

You mentioned that you are booked for the 2011 WBTA - have fun!!! We just did the 2010 WBTA. We had a fantastic group of DISer's and had the absolute best time. If I didn't have an Alaskan cruise and this cruise booked for 2011, I'd do it again!!

I am so happy there is already a thread started for this cruise. We booked while onboard the Nov 6 Magic cruise.
This will be mine and DH's 3rd cruise and first cruise for Ds, DDIL & DGS.
I am so excited to be able to take Sawyer DGS (age 4 at the time of cruising) on his first cruise.
I sent a PM to PFlamingo to be added to the FE list. It sounds like we will be cruising with a great bunch of people.
