[PFlamingo]

I just booked room 5658 so I'll be on this cruise too! We'll be celebrating our wedding which is on 10/21/11!

and congratulations on your wedding!

We're your neighbors in 5654. We'll be celebrating our anniversary on 10/24.

Had to rebook for a later date, due to my husband getting a new job. Have a great time!

Welcome to the cruise and what a fantastic way to celebrate your wedding. Best wishes.

I'm so jealous of you b2b's and b2b2b's. DH and DD want to hit the parks for Halloween since we have never been there in October. I don't think I can talk them out of it.I favor the Christmas season but last December we nearly froze. Oh well hope to book the Fantasy on this one.

We just booked today and are in room 5688. 10/21/11 is my 40th birthday so you picked a great date!
It'll be DH and me without any kids to celebrate the big 4-0. We're Disney veterans but cruise newbies. I'm SO excited!!!

Welcome Amanda. No Kids! That'll be a great time. My kids would skin me alive if they knew I was doing Disney w/o them!

Welcome to the cruise.

Thank you!

Welcome Amanda. No Kids! That'll be a great time. My kids would skin me alive if they knew I was doing Disney w/o them!

I know. Tom and I went to Disney last April for a long weekend without kids. I had a work conference at YC convention center right after DH's birthday. I travel 2-3 times a year for work so my kids are used to it (a little!). They were jealous but they've been to Disney 1-2 times per year since 2008. For the cruise we'll fly in the morning of the cruise and fly home the night we disembark. My older 2 will be in school (which is why I picked the 4 night over the 3 night - more weekdays) so that'll be the other reason they can't come. We spent a long weekend in Vegas for my DH's 40th birthday (Bellagio, fancy restaurants, the whole thing!) so this is my choice for my 40th. I'm excited to try to adults-only parts of the ship before we take the kids on Podcast cruise 3.0.

Welcome to everyone! Wow this thread is really starting to pick up .

Hi everyone we're on this cruise too. It will be myself, DH Al, DD Rachel 17 and her good friend Taylor 17. We've cruised with a few others on this cruise before and are looking forward to cruising with them again and meeting all the new people here! We're doing a back to back and staying on the Dream for the 3 night cruise on Oct. 27 too Now that the Dream is sailing and the reports are coming out about her I am really getting excited about these cruises!

 

[Disneygrl36]

to all the new cruisers.
I am getting excited that this thread is starting to pick up.

Hmmmmmmmmm Chris who told you I had a problem with drink? (wish there was a hiccuping smilie) Now you know the reason I couldn't walk or dance straight on our cruise was those high seas!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post to state that my wife and I just booked this B2B (26th/30th) over the weekend after getting off the Maiden B2B. It was just so much fun, we had to do another B2B on the Dream and add Halloween to mix was too much fun to miss.

This will also be our 9th and 10th cruise so we will be Platinum before the Fantasy Maiden nest year.

We are booked into 5538, and are looking forward to the extended balcony (tho, I would have loved the round shower in Cat 8s & 4s).

Please add us to any FE (or SHE - Sea Horse extenders) lists and DIS meets..

hey neighbor! are you guys with micechat too?

Welcome to the cruise and congrats on your wedding.

thanks again.


like I said, I am totally new to cruising. I keep reading about the ship and there is so much to do. we want to eat at rent and Palo (we're big Victoria and Albert's fans) but that means we'll miss some of the other restaurants, and the pirate dinner. I'm still trying to figure everything out so I'm glad we have a few months left.

Welcome New Cruisers! I've also been getting more excited about this cruise. I've been following a friend of mine's trip report and she has done an awesome job of detailing this ship.

Hey Steve........care to share a link to the trippie?

 

[PFlamingo]

With the thread picking up a bit, and more people booking the cruise, I thought I would re-post the FE sign up information. Please send me a PM with your information if you are participating. If you do not have enough posts to PM, send me a visitor message.

FISH EXTENDER INFORMATION

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.

Thanks!

Here is the list so far. I'm only posting Disnames for now, but I do have the rest of your info on the master list.

Here you go Melanie: Cass' Trip Report

She has done a great job capturing a lot of info on the new ship.

I was about to send you our info and I realized I am off half a week. We are actually on the 27th and 30th cruises. Guess I am to exited about our next trip, I slipped it several days..... .. Have Fun Everyone...


Update: Now I see why I also picked this thread.. There is no thread for the Oct 27th Cruise... Guess no DIS'ers are doing that cruise or no one wants to take on the work (which includes me).

Hey, there are a few of us here doing the B2B w/ the 27th as our second cruise. I know there isn't a thread for the 10/27, so if you want to chat here, go right ahead.
