No, we aren't on deck 8 with the rest of the cool kids. We're in 7176 and 7178.

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.

Did you book through Disney or directly with BL?

Hey, guys! There is a Group set up on Facebook for this Cruise Meet as well! If you are on FB, friend request John Marsden and ask to be added to the Dream April 10 Cruise group. There is a section on that page where you can sign up to be a part of the FE and many more really neat things! This will be my family's first Disney cruise, so this thread and the FB group have been a great way for us to see all the fun things we are going to be a part of!

I'll be bringing my little girls on this cruise. Anyone else bringing little kids? We have Teagan who is 4 and Tatum who is 2 and they are looking forward to making some friends on the cruise!

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

I went ahead and booked through Disney. It wasn't that much cheaper and Nassau creeped the girls out last time(since we dont' have daddy with us to "protect" us). I am doing Atlantis on the second leg of my B2B through Comfort Suites, but have Tinkattitude 6(hey Tink, what is your first name, ) and her family are going to ride over with us and I am going to try to get a cab with other people coming back. Last time we were suppose to meet up to go back with people, but they ended up leaving early and couldn't find us to tell us. It was starting to get a little "dusk"(about 5pm in Nov) so I just grabbed a cab. It was just a little scary for the girls and I. Once out of the cab we just ran up to a couple who were walking back to the ship and asked if we could join them as we felt a bit uncomfortable.

I also have an 11 year old, but she is going to go to the kids club with her younger sister, if she goes at all. Last time she didnt', but I think this time she will at least try it. She has been emailing Kim's daughter and has gotten a bit more excited about it all.

Hey I just checked, we are in 8063, right across from you. There are several of us on deck 8 midship.

I also have an DD11(5th grade) and DD12(7th grade) and they both would like to meet people their age!

We are from calilifornia. Where are you from?

Are you interested in fish extenders? Last year we did this and we all loved it!

We are from Pennsylvania. We didn't do the FE last time. Maybe we can do it this time.

If you'd like to, we can pm email addresses for the girls to write each other.

I went ahead and booked through Disney.

I don't think I can book until the 25th or 26th? I guess technically I am a first time Disney cruiser as my one prior Disney cruise was when it was owned by Premiere Cruise Lines.

I sailed on the Oceanic some years ago. It was a Premiere Cruise ship.

HI Amy,
I don't know how to do it, but it would be nice to link the reservations. I should warn you though that my girls would eat their dinner pretty quickly and then go off to the kids club each night while my Mom and I enjoyed our dessert and coffee on our last cruise. I anticipate the same thing this time. Also, we have the 500pm show, so I think they will definately head to the kids club right from dinner.

Email me your reservation number(infanti@comcast.net) and I will send an email off to DCL. They might not do it, but they do read the emails as I have emailed them about 3 different things and gotten responses twice. We only did a three night cruise the last time and I hadn't learned that you can have them eat early and send off to the kids club, so we only ate in the dining room ONCE. Plus Matti never went to the kids club for even a second and I would so like to just have a little bit of "me" time this cruise. How wonderful it would be to just sit and enjoy dessert like a grown up. I went into the last cruise as "this is a family vacation, and we are doing everything together as a family".... and thus poor Kenzey, who loved the kids club, only got to go in for an hour maybe 3 times. With the new dream and my new years resolution of finally taking care of myself, I would love to be able to explore the ship a bit, maybe even get on the treadmill in the fitness club, or hmmm.. read a book. Crazy eh!!

I too have a 4 year old DD (she turns 5 right before the cruise). We are in 8643. I am sure they will meet up in the kids club (my daughters both loved it last time). Oh, and my Mom is traveling with me too.

 

[tastefullyjenn]

Hello all! I was part of the group way back when but then DH switched jobs and we didn't know if he could take time off but we're good and paid in full, so it is HAPPENING!

We are me (39) DH (40) and two girls (9) and (7)--they'll be looking for friends in the clubs!

I friend requested our FB "Leader" lol and hopefully it isn't too late to get in on the FE etc.

I've cruised before but it is all new for the rest of the fam. I earned a free WDW trip 4/7-4/10 so we'll be coming straight from that. SO EXCITED!!!!

Amy, can u give me Disneys email address. We are wait listed for early dinner and we really don't want to eat at 8:30 or after 9pm when you finally get served. BTW you can add ressies to each others dinning , maybe we could do the same thing this way will get early, if you don't mind. Last time we ha a group of about 13 tabels ,not the same tabel but all near one another.

 

[scootch]

We are in room 8063. I have to switch rooms for the B2B, hoping they end up giving me the same room, i really don't care where it even is.

I just emailed through the disney cruise site. Can you come up with a reason, anyone diabetic or prediabetic? https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/contact-us/
I will email my TA and see about the linking dinner reservations.

Crystal, I know you and I are b2b the 10th and 14th. Are TECHJMP or DISNUTDAD also B2B with us?? I have lost tract too. Alenushka is B2B the 14/17th.
