Does anyone know if Disney will be doing anything special for this cruise since it will be over Christmas? Will the ship be decorated at all?? This will be different for us not having christmas with a few feet of snow.... I might even like it!!

Thanks

My 5 year old is a girl, and my little boy is turning 4 in May so he will be closer to 4.5 at the time of the cruise. Yep we are the same we are so excited about the cruise but it's the look on the kids faces that we are looking foward too. I will keep intouch and maybe we can catch up on the ship and maybe organise a little gift exchange. My daughter wants to bring little Australian treats to give other little kids for christmas. She is so excited about this trip.

My son is 24 and his girlfriend is 22, I know they are going to love meeting new people! Anything to keep from hanging out with his little brother (17)!

 

[kasha321]

I just love the idea of having a party with 200, 100 and 50 days left!! I am so going to surprise my kids and husband with Disney items for the cruise!! This board gives me so many awsome ideas it just get over excited every time I get on so see what is new. I even have a countdown on my phone with Mickey ears and the number of days till the cruise. (who knew, there is an app for that!!)

I think getting a FE exchange going would be so much fun also!!

Cant wait!

Ok it's only 8 days till I supprise my little family with our first Disney Count Down Party. I am not sure what I am going to do for it yet. However I will post photos for all to see.

 

[jenshell75]

I thought I might indroduce myself and my little family. I figure it would be nice to put a face to the names. So if you feel comfortable posting a photo, I would love to see your family as well.

Here we are at Easter standing in our front yard. Yes I love celebrating all the holiday seasons. lolllll

Hi! So glad to find this thread and meet other cruisers. This will be our first cruise so we are pretty excited! It will be my husband and I along with our four children: 3 daughters (13, 12, 10) and 1 son (5) A FE exchange sounds like so much fun. A friend of mine took the holiday cruise this past December and has been telling me all about their experience, which just makes me more excited!

Hope to learn more about everyone and meet up in December!

I am trying to think up ideas for my FE gifts. I can't wait till we get some more friends. My daughter is going to love meeting your children. My daughter loves bigger girls and my little boy is 4 so I am sure he will have fun with your little man.

Have fun making plans

Hi everyone! We are booked on this cruise - the love of my life and our daughter (16 months when we sail)and myself are so excited to be sailing over Christmas on the Dream! While this will be their first Disney cruise, I have 5 under my belt and cannot wait to explore the Dream. We will be spending a few days at the parks beforehand and cannot wait...six months and two weeks from today and we will be living the dream on the Dream!

Just seems like yesterday that I booked our cruise and it seemed soooooo far away till Christmas and now its July! I have been dropping hints to my sons and their girlfriends (ages 17 and 24) I gave them large Mickey duffles with their names on it, gave them the sun,water,south clue, and Dream. I left the AAA magazine with the cover being about the Dream in the bathroom. In August I'll give them Mickey PJ's and I'll finally tell them in September. In the midst of all this vacation planning, I am now planning for my oldest sons wedding next year. Did I mention I am fast on my way to being dead dog broke? I'm gonna have to pass the hat for cocktails on the ship at this rate! I like the pictures Jen! When I figure to add them, I'll post some of my crew.

4407mark,

I can't wait to meet up with you and your little family I really think we are going to all be living the dream on the DREAM. I just can't wait to lay eyes on this ship in the port. I think I will be crying with happiness.

 

[jenshell75]

Here are a couple of photos from our Disney count down party, I have been so slack posting these. I will have some more soon as we are getting closer to our 100 day party. YAY

These were our 200 day celebration cupcakes that we had after dinner.

Oh look at this cute face, I can't wait to see his smile when we are on board the ship.

Hello all! I am giving this Holiday cruise to my DD (9) for her birthday as a surprise. We are Tracey, James and Sydney (DD) from NC. I am so excited to see the holiday decorations on the Dream. I only wish our cruise friends from Denver were going as well...
