Coach Rick and Hlynstunstl -

Hi! We are just doing one night before the cruise at the Poly, and then more time afterwards at the Beach Club (and one night at Universal, for the first time).

Although I've been on the DIS for a long time I'm not sure - what is BLT?

FYI, my girls are 11 and 13 and really, really looking forward to the cruise!

Got it! I just can't wait to see the fireworks at MK the night before we get on the Dream - seems like a good way to start the trip. If only it weren't so far away!

Hi! We are just doing one night before the cruise at the Poly, and then more time afterwards at the Beach Club (and one night at Universal, for the first time).

Beach Club is one Vacation Club resort I've yet to stay at. I've heard it's wonderful. Have you been there before? Although I've heard a lot of great things about the Poly, I've never been there either. We have room change the night before also but in the same resort.

 

[glassslipper2004]

My kids LOVE the pool complex at the Beach and Yacht Club - that's why we are going back. They have been begging to return ever since we were there about 4 years ago. It really is pretty neat.

I've never stayed at the Poly but always really liked the atmosphere when we visited - and I'm looking forward to Ohana, and Kona for breakfast. Yum.

Just as a side note as a mom of two little ones, its a huge saver from my least favorite place the gift shop. Everytime they saw something they wanted, I would always say lets go back and see if there is anything in our fish. It saved me a fortune on impulse buys! Even if you went back to an empty box there was still that fantastic distraction!

You are a brilliant mommy. LOL

This cruise can't come fast enough. I'm Khristine, DH is Neil, and DD Olivia 5 and Isabel 4. This is our first Disney Cruise and we are so excited.

Welcome!!!

Not so much brillant, but I have to cut corners somewhere to fund my vacation habbit.

I've been to Kona and it was wonderful. If you have the Tonga Toast, don't plan on eating again until evening. I was stuffed!!

Hi everyone! We are booked on this cruise as well!!

We are EpcotPrincess (28), DH (32) and DD (1), and this is our first ever Disney cruise! We are from Michigan and will be on Deck 7, and we're headed to AKL for a few days post-cruise as well. We're SO excited!

I am not sure if we will participate in Fish Extenders yet because I need to do a little more investigation about what they entail.

It was all of that and then some!

For our grand gathering on the 21st, I would recommend deck 4, Vista Cafe as a decent meeting place. I would also recommend some lime green shirts of some sort...Now I had done these for a cruise I unfortunately never got on due to my dad getting very very sick and ultimately passing away a month later, but I am willing to do these if anyone would like for our cruise. I do screen printing and embroidery part time so these are professional printed shirts. I will come up with a design shortly and post a site you can look at them and order if you like. Again, I am not trying to drum up business, but it is sooooo much easier to pick each other out if we have some sort of theme going in. If you go to this link http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1347215&page=63 and go to post 936 just to see what I mean...Anyhow, I'll be back later with more...going to watch youngest daughter play hockey...

 

[Coach Rick]

Be vewy vewy quiet...I'm hunting wabbit...

Ok, so now it's real...I have booked my flights...SWA just opened their August schedule and I got 119 each way from Providence. Sure I have flown for less, but still given the price of fuel, I didn't wait a day!

So where is everyone?

My travel agent trip on the Dream was Sooooooo awesome! I can't believe I came in tonight with temps in single digits and a week ago I spent on Deck 13 in a lounge chair with temps in the 80's! Oh well...can't wait to get back on the ship!

 

[wayneg]

So where is everyone?

Busy weekend for me being a florist, Valentines day Monday then off to Florida next Saturday for a week so not much internet time for next couple of weeks.

I have been busy drooling over all the new dream info out there. I am just waiting and wishing!

Did see Tangled yesterday. Everyone needs a Disney fix every now and again.
