3/24/11- Dream -- our 1st cruise

[dylan'smom]

Hi, wdw_girl_18!

Since I seem to be the only one posting lately, lol, I should say I'll be gone a couple weeks - Princess cruise, actually - but hope to chat more.



Welcome aboard!!!

 

[LoveBugs]

We'll be there! We're doing a B2B that week with our three daughters, ages 6, almost 4, and 9 months. Can't wait!

 

[biroberts]

We are doing the B2B with cruises as well! I can't wait to see how that works, people I have talked to have loved it!

FE exchange? We are defiantly in and I can help out in whatever way is needed.

Has anyone thought about shore excursions? We are considering the dolphin swim at Atlantis. Any tips?

Also, are we going to do a meet and greet type thing the first day? I've gone to one before and it is great to put faces to the names and give the kids a chance to meet up.

Getting Anxious Here!!!!!!!

Hey everyone! Just booked a B2B on this cruise.....this will be the second leg. Looks like there will be several of us.

We have had the March 20th leg booked since last March. As the time has gotten closer and the info about the ship has continued to come out, we couldn't stand the thought of only having 4 days. Sooooooo I convinced DH to do the B2B.

It will be myself, DH, DS(11) & DD(8).

We are also going to be on this trip!!!

I still don't know what cabin we're in because I booked thru DVC
We booked another cabin for my brother's family online

We have 4 adults, 4 kids in our party (ages 2, 4, 6, 8). All but the youngest are girls.

Sooo excited about this trip!

We are latecomers but DD12 and I will be joining this cruise. We haven't been on a Disney cruise since 2007 but are excited to be going again....and on the brand new Dream, no less!!

 

[spaddy]

I'm still going too. We have our airfare all booked and I can't wait to get on the Dream!!


Did anyone book Palo? I was surprised that I could only book a table for 2. It seems there are no 4 person tables.

Got lucky and snagged a room to make this a b2b for us. Our first b2b so if anyone has any hints/tips let us know. It's myself, DH, DS 15 and DS 11 and it's our second (and third) Disney cruise. The boys don't know we made this b2b - we're surprising them the last day.

I tried making a reservation but its no longer coming up for me (disabled radio button).

I tried making a reservation but its no longer coming up for me (disabled radio button).

I am going to look again today. We were able to make the reservation for the first night on board, but I booked a table for 2 and a table for 1. I would be just as happy skipping Palo but DH wants to go.

I can't believe how close this trip is getting!!!! I am so excited!!!

 

[dolver]

Welcome everyone! I was checking in daily for a while ....with no new additions..... then I decide to not check-in and everyone comes in!!!!

This is our first cruise - so we're hoping we'll love it (as opposed to being green in the room the entire time!)

I looked up Palo just for the heck of it the other day and they were all booked up. We didn't plan to go there anyway -- since this is our 1st, we figured we'd check out all the regular places first!!

I asked hubby about excursions - he said he'd rather just relax on the boat.

Please feel free to start a FE or MeetNGreet post. I'll just add it to the 1st post so everyone knows where to look for it.

I started this post because I was interested to know "who" would be on the cruise -- more adults than kids?, more older than younger folks?, kidless like us?

did you see the christening today?

It was awesome!!! I am so glad I booked this cruise when I did because it seems like there is very limited availability now. Everyone wants to get one this ship!!!

 

[addicted_to_WDW]

Hi Everyone! We've had our August cruise booked since the day booking opened for the Dream, but my lack of willpower caused me to book this one to tide us over. It'll be our 3rd DCL cruise.

It'll be me (Jennifer), my DH (Peter), and our son Storm who will turn 17 a few days before the cruise. Good to meet you!

 

[dvc-mom]

Hi everyone! We can't wait to see the ship in person!

there's 5 of us:
me, DH, DS-13, Ds-9, My mom (single!)

 

[dolver]

Loving all the pics and info being posted on Dis! Part of me wants to not look and be totally surprised, other part wants to know everything!!! Guess which part is winning!

 

[JacksGirlz]

I have been poring over all the details I can find online about the Dream. With the maiden voyage heading off I'm sure there will be even more info out soon.

 

[Cptjackandcrew]

We live near Orlando and the paper has had daily reports. We are so excited!!

 

[disneyfreak1]

Trying to get on this cruise with you guys. As of right now, there is no availability, but over the last week, rooms have been popping up here and there. I have my TA on the lookout. It will be me, my DH, and my DS(15).

 

[disneyfreak1]

I'm booked! TA called and snagged us a room!
