2/13/2011 Disney Dream 4 Day Cruise

[threejnovaks]

Hello there, We are a family of 4 heading out on the Dream's first valentines cruise! We will both be 35 at that time and we will have a 7 yr old girl and 4 yr old boy with us. This will be our second cruise. Was going to do a 7 day, but really wanted to be on the DREAM close to when it first comes out. Anyone else joining us?

I have added your thread to the 2011 Dream Cruise Meet list

We'll be on this cruise as well. It will be our first cruise. My family includes me, my dh, my 11 y/o dd, 9 y/o dd and 7 y/o ds (at the time of sail).

We'll spend a few days at WDW before the cruise (gotta have the ride fix) and then hope to relax w/ the Disney flair on the cruise.

See you in about a year!!!!

Hi All,

We hope to join all of you on this cruise but we won't know until April as we are going to book onboard to get the discount. We are just hoping it is not sold out! This will be the cruise that makes us "gold"

We'll be there! This 4-day will be the 2nd part of a B2B cruise for us. We loved the 7 day, but really wanted to cruise on the Dream, so we'll be doing the 3-nighter on 2/10. .

It'll be myself, Jodi & my husband Bruce, & our 2 DS; Eli - 15&16 (celebrating a bday on board!!) & Spencer - 15. Eli is my step-son, in case anyone was trying to do the math, .

Looking forward to getting to know you all over the next year!

Whoo-hoo! I am also going 2/13! It will be me, DH and our DD who will be 5. We are also doing WDW a few days before and after the cruise.

Welcome aboard!!

So I have been reading the Cruise threads and the 'Fish Extender' thing sounds really cool, especially since we will be cruising on Valentine's Day!

Anyone else ever do this in the past or plan on doing it next year? I would love to do it if anyone is interested!

Hi everyone! DH, DD (8 by cruise time) and I will be joining you on this cruise We were originally planning to cruise the Dream at the end of March but after reading so much about it, we couldn't wait that long.

DH will celebrate his birthday (2/15) on the cruise so that's extra exciting for us!

Hello All! DW and I will also be on this cruise. We are from Vienna, Virginia (near DC) and this will be the first of a B2B pair; we will also be on the February 17 Dream and, after that one, we will be platinum! 296 more days. -- Dave & Jackie

Hi All,

We just returned from the Wonder and we had to change our dates for next year so we won't be joining you as planned My wife is a lead on the Canada Games that we are hosting in our city next year and it happens to be over these two weeks.

Have fun everyone!

Our group will be 7 in number, DH, DD, DD, DSIL, DGSx2. The boys will be 3 and 5 when we cruise and are already very excited. U2FanHfx--sorry you won't be with us. Our DD, DSIL and the 2 boys are from Halifax also.
DH and I cruise in Feb annually and the fact that schools are closed 2 weeks this year made this possible for them.

This is our 3rd Disney Cruise. We have cruised Carnival, Princess, Celebrity, NCL and love all of them, but Disney is the most fun. No line has a sail away like Disney! It such a nice change from the other cruise lines. And Castaway Cay is the best private island!

The goodie share is a cute idea. Won't the kids love that. We're in if anyone else wants to do this.

Keep posting. We're on Cruise Critic also.

We booked this cruise while on the Eastbound TA a couple of weeks ago.

This will be our shortest cruise. We have only done 7 and 14 day cruises on the Magic. We're looking forward to the change though. This will be the cruise that makes us Platinum Castaway Club members.

The Dodds at our recent cruise. This is the 1st day of the TA. Our DS and DDIL went with us but can not go on the Dream cruise.

We will be on the 2-13 sailing of the Dream. Celebrating our wedding Anniversary children free. Me DH and My best friend and his girlfriend. This will be our 4th DC been on both ships and wanted to try the new one. This will be my BFF first DC but second actual cruise, he went on another cruise line and hated it so they are excited to go with us. They know they won't be dissapointed.

Just checking in on this very quiet bunch of people! We need to talk more about what we hope to see and do on this trip.

I agree, Brack. But this lack of chit chat is definitely someone else's fault, not mine.

 

[DisneyAndRedSox]

OK, I will start some chit-chat...

My copy of Passporter's DCL just came in at the library. Pretty much finished it up in less than 2 days and now I really can't wait! I have only cruised on RCCL and Princess, and Passporter was great to see how DCL is different. DH will start reading it next!

I still haven't figured out where we are staying Thurs-Sun before the cruise. Normally I stay off site b/c I have a timeshare.... but I really want to just land at MCO, hop on DME and stay onsite w/o a car and just soak up Disney! We have AP's so I will be booking a room only for 3 nights, I have no clue if I should just book a value since we won't be spending a lot of time in the room, or do I go mod or even something like Wildreness Lodge? Or do I try renting DVC points and get a studio since I am used to staying in a villa? I HAVE NO CLUE!- lol I guess I won't know until 2011 rates are announced and AP discount is released. Hotel for after the cruise is all set, on Sun my parents will drop us off at the ship and then check into our timeshare (most likely Marriott Harbour Lake-DD loves the pool.) That covers us until Sunday 2/20 when we fly home.

I just booked my parents rental car, boy rates have gone up! I finally booked them what I think is a good deal, but it is still $75 more than the car we had Feb 2010.
