11/10/11- 3-Night on the Dream

[1 Minnie & 3 Mickeys]

PixieDust...How very exciting for you! I hope my DD catches a glipse of you that day. She will just beam in seeing a real life princess getting married on our Disney vacation.

We have a final number of 59 attending our wedding on Castaway Cay!!! We have two couples in our party celebrating 20 year anniversaries. I am getting very excited to see the Dream in person and GET MARRIED!!!

THis is so exciting - we watched a wedding on Castaway Cay on our last cruise - it was beautiful. Congratulations to you and good luck!

I sure hope CC survived Hurricane Irene!

75 days to go

I stayed up late so I could book my shore excursions.... couldn't wait until morning

 

[ibouncetoo]

Dream didn't go to CC today, so whatever damage there was required more than a mere one day clean up. I haven't checked out any of the threads yet this morning so there may be more news.

[PixieDust1969]

The Dream was at CC today! Hooray!! I hope someone posts some pictures on the other threads if there was any damage...

10 more weeks! 10 more weeks! 10 more weeks! In case anyone else is counting....

 

[momsquad]

Woo Hoo!! 10 weeks, or 68 days - 12 hours and 56 minutes! Not that we are counting down with any extreme anticipation or anything. . . HA!

We are late finding this board. Glad to see all the other excited people!

Just two of us on this sailing. Mom and DS-12yo. Flying in one day early, staying at AS-Sports. Then spending two add'l days post cruise at AK Lodge. Eager to experience Mickey's Very Merry Christams Party! Can it get any more exciting than Christmas and Disney?!?!

I fear I'm too late to get with the FE thing-y, but if there is any kind of get together I'd like to be part of that.

Congrats to the wedding couple! What a wonderful experience! Hope all goes wonderfully for you and your big party.

Did I read there is another mom/child sailing w/o the husband on this cruise? Glad to see I'm not the only one.

Let's hope all the bad weather is done tearing up the Caribbean for this year!

Okay, I'll quit chatting for now and get back to counting down. . .

Later,
momsquad

We are flying in a day early and staying at AS Sports then doing cruise and coming back to Pop. I have an 11 yr old son. Maybe we will run into you. Are you taking DCL transportation to port? We are.

I don't think it is too late to join the FE. There is an email for the contact person somewhere in this thread

We are also flying in the day before and staying at the Nick Hotel... we plan on going to Seaworld... we will be staying at the Caribbean Beach hotel when we get back and we have a dining reservation at the AKL for that night!

I count down to my girls every day!!!!! I cannot wait

And the excitment grows!
Shout out to "lidec" - Yes, we are taking the Disney transfers. I looked into the alternates, but for only 2 people they seem to be higher in cost than simply sticking with Disney. Sure wish I could get a good pickup time this far out though. I would like to grab a breakfast at the Cape May Cafe, but then I may be trying to stuff too much into too little of time. . . My excitment can over-whelm me sometimes.

To JMJ, I looked into dinner reservations at AKL, but knew we would want to maximize our time at MVMCP instead. Hopefully after the cruise, cookies and hot chocolate will hold us over.

Does anyone out there know if Palos offers the brunch on the 3 day cruise? Or is it only sailings with "sea" days?

Palos brunch is not offered on the 3-day cruise

Hey Cruisers,

My countdown says 2 months and 2 days til we leave We are doing the back to back with the previous cruise so we board the Dream on the 6th. We are flying in on Friday, doing Discovery Cove on Saturday, then the Dream on Sunday. We are staying at Pop on the return Sunday night and doing MVMCP that night, flying home on Monday. We are so excited for this trip.

Glad to hear about the minimal damage to CC!

I have spent the weekend working on my FE gifts - the kids are done, working on the adults gifts now! DD and I are having a blast making everything!

 

[momsquad]

Bummer about Palo brunch. Oh well. I've been there before and just can't pass it up, so I made an early reservation (we have late dining.) Hope I don't have to dine alone, or that I end up as a third wheel with another couple. Maybe they can tell me before I start. ?? Irregardless, all will be good I'm sure.

Glad to see there's another going Disney "commando" and racing from the cruise to MVMCP! Yay dthogue! What a great way to cap the back-to-back cruising!

 

[tiggrbaby]

We are racing from the cruise to Epcot to enjoy the last day of the F&WF. We will stay at POP for two nights. Right now we're planning brunch at Boma with time to see the critters, hanging out at the pool, and a monorail bar tour ending at the Poly for Wishes with DTD the day we leave.

 

[momsquad]

Awesome Tiggrbaby! What a way to cap an adult Disney holiday - Monorail bar tour! Also squeezin' in the last of F&WF. Would love to hear your review of that afterwards. Sounds like you have this planned out well.

DS and I are simply going to try to get the best (in our opinions) of the 4 parks covered in two days. Daunting! We know!

We are so excited about MVMCP - perfect way to end our trip - MK and celebrating the start of the Christmas Season.

My BFF and I are both travelling without daddies with her DS15 and my DS7. Staying 2 nites at AS-Sports beg. 11/8. So excited

 

[momsquad]

Hey SteelersLover! Are you taking the Disney shuttle to the pier? We might all be together. Fun. Were ya'll thinking of Palos for a dinner? Maybe us solo Mom's can all get together and it not be so awkward. For what it's worth I have a Palo dining resv at 6pm on Thursday. My DS-12 is so excitied about "his time" in Edge we thought this would work out great. Depending what dining room rotation we get, I may still in up in a dining room at 8:30p with him, simply ordering coffee. We shall see.

Even though I was born and raised an avid Bears fan, on a Disney cruise, I'm sure I can befriend a Steeler Lover anyway!

Go Bears!
Geaux Tigers!

I am down for a Moms dinner at Palo. Let me know if there is room...I am a Falcon's fan - hope that isn't a deal breaker.
