11/06/11 Dream 4 Day

[CustardTart]

Here's the news from the concierge/platinum cruisers on the Maiden Voyage. Looks like DCL is assigning SHOW times to go with your dinner seating.

They are:
Main seating, 5pm show
Main seating, 9pm show
Second seating, 5pm show
Second seating, 7pm show

(I'm assuming Main dinner will be 6:15 and late 8:15).

So 3 shows each night. Apparently you can check your reservation now online to see where they placed you (those who booked with a TA will have to go through them). The show time WILL be on your KTTW card and if you want to go to one different than your assigned, you will need to go to a stand-by line to see if there is seating available for you.

Apparently the theaters do not hold 1/2 of the ship's passengers like the Magic and Wonder do and that this is similar to how other lines with big ships do it.

SO...while checking mine out, I discover that my TA (who I named while doing my on board bookiing) changed the birthdates of ALL the secondary passangers on our 3 reservations to 11/7/11, so it looks like each cabin has one adult and 3 infants (that apparently are being born the day AFTER the cruise starts!!!)

I think we'll wait till after the Maiden and maybe the first couple of cruises to see how the dinner/show times work out before we request any changes to what may be on our reservation currently.

.

That's great info, Jackie!!! 7pm show for me. Maybe I'll actually get to see one now...

We were on the Baltic cruise in June and booked the Nov. 6 Mexican Riviera cruise on the Wonder. I just told my TA to switch our booking to the Nov. 6 Dream cruise. So my family of 3 will be joining you all. My daughter will be 11 when we sail and she is hoping for some DIS boarders in her age group. We will also do the FE if you are doing them, as well as the stateroom tours (not sure what category we are in yet).
Looking forward to meeting all of you.

WELCOME! I'll add you to the rouster (but it might not happen till tonight as I'm on my lunch break from work and only have a few minutes to catch up on all the DISboards news!)

.
Talked to my friend Paula this weekend and she is BOOKING THIS B2B! I haven't seen her in about 20 years!

WHO is organizing Fish Extender Exchange?

Add MickeyWatch to the list please.

If you'll give me the current FE list, I can add it to the page 1 post with the rouster.

Thanks!

400 DAYS!

​

I got my reservations straightened out and am booked for the 7PM show with late dining. The family still has main dining on their reservations, but I will be making my presentation, with bullet points, to them with the reasons to switch. (SHOW is more important than restaurants for the little girls; 5P show too early, have to drag kids from the pool to get cleaned up; 9P show too late; yummy late afternoon poolside food available.)

.​

thanks for that Jackie.....no way we'd make the 5 pm show!

SO...did you book part 2 of this adventure while on the ship?


Oh,,,,,and Welcome to the USA! I hear you had great weather for the crossing.

.

Just home and had fab weather and a smooth crossing thanks.......just don't mention the 24 hour flight delay coming home....................we didn't book it.....BUT only because we bought DVC and will be booking it on points asap! yay!!!! Mark has seen the light and Karen nagged him into it......

That's great info, Jackie!!! 7pm show for me. Maybe I'll actually get to see one now...

Really???? you come out BEFORE 8??????

While looking at the deck plans for the Dream I just realized it's going to take more energy hunting down adult friends! The adult pool/area is on the front of the ship and the bars at the back!

It was so easy on the Magic to come back from an excursion, head up to Cove Cafe take a look around and if nobody was there, hop in the elevator and head down to Diversions!

Oh well, a good way to walk off all that food!

Oh! That's true Jackie....maybe thats on purpose!

OK...I've planned my route: In nice weather, cross the ship on the deck four walking/jogging track, otherwise deck four inside with a peak at the Vista Cafe on the way in case anyone is hiding there!

Thanks for sharing the photo. We are getting ever so close to that one year mark! I can not wait!!

[disney fan 1994]

OH No I'm scared. I was reading the post about the dinner and shows, well I sent my TA an e-mail and we have the early show and the 1st dinner. I tried to change it to early dinner and second show so we won't have to leave the pool at 3:30 but we are on a wait list. We are waiting for the late show. I hope it works. I have never been on a wait list before.

Crossing my fingers I know our kids will be fine because they are night owls. LOL

Come on Disney Gods LOL!!!

 

[ACDSNY]

We are getting ever so close to that one year mark! I can not wait!!
