Kim... the kids are having a ball emailing! Thanks. Matti has been saying she doesn't want to go on the cruise as we get back on sunday and her class is going to Camp Fitch on Lake Erie Monday-Wednesday(I am chaperoning). Then they are off school for 5 days for Easter. She is worried about missing her dad. I tried to explain to her the other scenario, stay home with dad and miss her sister and I was we are only a glorious cruise and gone 8 days..... which would be more fun? She will see her dad that Sunday night and he is going to take her to school and hang around until the bus leaves on Monday. She will then have 5 days to spend with daddy after camp as he is a teacher and off too. Chatting with their "new BFF" about the cruise is definitely helping her get more excited. My younger one is super excited about the cruise, almost as much as her obsessed mom!

Where are you staying the night before the cruise? Our flight doesn't get in until 815pm, so I just booked the hyatt with a choice certificate.

Hi Amy,
Erin is having fun too. She just loves checking her email to see if anything has come. It is great. We get in at about 230 on the 9th, so we will be staying at the Country Inn and Suites at the port. We will leave the rental car there while on the cruise so we can head right to Disney when we get off the boat. I too am a Disney freak, but there are worse vices to have. We will have to try and set something up so the girls can meet up when we board.

We are taking disney transportation to the port. Last time we got on the first bus, and we will be trying to do that this time too. We got to port around 1030am. So if you get there early, we will definitely have time to hang out before boarding. Do you have early dining? I wonder if we could link our reservations?

What is everyone's plan for Nassau? We are doing Blue Lagoon Sea Lion/Beach for this leg of our cruise.

If you are like me, you have been reading all of the posts. Now it is time for everyone to start writing. We are getting so close.

What are you most excited to see or do while on the Dream?

C'mon people, there is only so much web searching I can do to get my Disney Dream fix.

By the way, tomorrow is the big christening of the ship. And Jennifer Hudson was named Godmother of the Dream.

What are you most excited to see or do while on the Dream?

I am looking forward to exploring the ship. Our first cruise was just a three night. We went to Atlantis and spent most of the day at CC. Each night we saw a play, so I never really got to enjoy the ship. This time we are doing B2B so we should have time to actually see more of the ship!

I can't wait to be immersed in everything. Last cruise (March 2010) was me and hubby and we just relaxed. I have yet to see a show but plan to this time. I also really just want to see my youngest face as she sees the ship for the first time. She was 15 months old when we first went on a cruise.

We have been talking about it alot lately, watching the Disney Cruise DVD, watching youtube videos, looking at lots of pictures, and unfortunately she doesn't grasp the idea of "not today" Everyday she is saying "ship" & "up"(for plane) and we are telling her not for a long time (81 sleeps)

I spend most my time looking for something to read about the Dream. Heck I was just looking at the Fantasy for next year.

Cant wait!!! But I have to

I am so excited about everything! I can't wait to try the restaurants. I am also super excited to see my little girls see everything for the first time! I remember how awesome WDW was the first time we went with them & I can't wait to see them on this cruise!

I to am very excited. Feel like it can't get here soon enough. I still have so much planning to do . I am most looking forward to all the new restaurants and going to Atlantis to use the water slides etc../ Have been to Atlantis three times but never used all they have to offer. My kids are looking forward to the clubs. The teen club looks awesome my 17 year old is so excited. My 12 year old DD wants to go with him but he's like it' only for TEENS lol. Hers looks cool also. I wish i were a kid again lol. Need to start getting in shape and dropping lbs to make room for all the yummy food. Can't wait to meet all of you.

Now that we are in the 100- countdown I need to get everyone onto the spreadsheet. I also want to publicly show the tenative template for what I did complete for the shirts. I am open to any criticism, or ideas, but I put something together that is very nice to look at, and took a lot of time to do. Everyone email me at JMarsden92@comcast.Net, and I will get you access to the spreadsheet. Make sure to tell me what cruise it is for, as I am heading 2 cruises things... Thanks all.

Here you go....

 

[sorul82?]

Thanks! We're in Raleigh, too - maybe pre-cruise coffee is in order?

Sounds good! PM me with your info!!
