Which day of the cruise is your special day? My DD turns 9 on the 14th. She's so thrilled everyone is going a cruise for her birthday. Don't have the heart to tell her it just worked out that way!!!

My 65th birthday is April 10, 2011...
This year we are sailing on the Star Princess to the Baltics for DH's 65th birthday which was March 2nd. I have been saving up for these two events for years. DH's father passed at age 62, his Mom at 67 so he was scared that he would not reach 65. We are celebrating.. Happy Birthday too to your daughter. My sister's bday is April 4th, but she has not committed to sailing with us yet.

Unfortunately our plans have changed now and we won't be on this sailing had to put next years trip back to August

By way of consolation we have managed to add a 3 night on the Wonder the trip this August instead as we were so disappointed having got excited about Castaway Cay.

Anyway best wishes for your trips we will keep an eye out for any trip reports and wish we were there with you all...

torsie24 best wishes for the wedding hope it is all you dreamed and more!

We will be sailing with you on April 10th as well. Party consists of myself, husband, and 2 year old son. This will be our second Disney cruise and my son's first cruise. We were debating weather to do a b2b on the 14th also, but price has gone up too much, we'll just do disney or hilton head island instead.

Can't wait to get to know everyone. My husband and I got married on the Disney Magic in 2006 and enjoyed all the new friends we had made on the Dis board.

We will be on board the Dream. It will be me, dh, & 2 dd. We did Disney World this past spring break, and loved it (which was our 3rd trip in 18 mos). DH didn't go with us - just me & the girls. So when I got back, I started to looking into things that we could do the next spring, as dh isn't a big Disney fan but is a cruise fan. This will be our 2nd Disney cruise. I'm very excited & hope to rest on this cruise vs the rush I usually put on us while at Disney. But we might still have to go the Magic Kingdom after the cruise

We are booked for a Category 9

Hello! I just wannna you to our cruse. I also have a DD11, she will be 12 on the cruise. This will be our 5th and 6th BTB. Can't wait to get to know all of you. I hope this group starts planning and talking more as we get closer. The last group i was in was wonderful! TTYS Crystal~

 

[AwtreyCalifornia]

My oldest daughter will be 12 on the cruise and in 7th grade. My youngest daughter will turn 11 just before the cruise and is in 5th grade. We did not find out about this board until 3 days before we left for our last cruise. It was great because we learned about FE's and my daughter already knew there would be girls on the cruise her age. We were able to meet one of the families.

We also liked doing the magnets and I pulled together a fish extender the last minute. My husband does not know that I booked this cruise yet. It costs a lot for us to fly from Sacramento. He wants a longer cruise but I really wanted to see the new ship. We are not fans of Mexico so even though the Wonder is sailing out of LA, we just dont like the ports.

Where are you from? I hope as this gets closer we can get a lot of people together. My husband thought I was crazy last time, but the kids loved the FE's and the chat line.

 

[tinkattude6]

We are from NE PA/ The pocono Mts. We are so syched to do the new ship also. We did the FE group thing last time and it was awesome! We met so many great families. Some we still keep in touch with. We had lot of cruise meets on the ship. So it felt like we made friendships that will last a lifetime. The kids knew other kids before we even got on the ship. We also made magnets and enjoyed delivering all the FE gifts everynight after Dinner. I hope someone is a good planner and maybe might take on this group. I am looking forward to making friends again and getting to know everyone in the group. I love learning new things and sharing ideas.TTYS Crystal~

 

[tinkattude6]

Hey! Where is everyone? I wonder if we are the only people on this cruise since noones responding. Is anyone up for a meet and greet or FE group??

Hello everyone! We are also on the Dream 4/10 and 4/14-B2B! This will be our 4th Disney cruise but first B2B! We are traveling with our UK friends of whom we met on the Wonder in 2007 and have cruised Disney together each year since except for this year, 2010. This year, the week of Thanksgiving, we're vacationing with them in Florida and going to US/IOA (our first time at those parks). My family consists of me (44), DH (45) and DD (13). We are booked in Cat. 5D! DH loves sitting on the verandah watching the ocean go by!

We're so excited about the new ship!! We decided not to cruise this year so that we could wait for the Dream in 2011! When we cruised in October of 2009 on the Magic there were quite a few CM's that remembered us from our cruise in 2008 and called us by name! I also won at Bingo last year! I love that game but have to limit my playing as it's so expensive! At the final Bingo on the last day I was "1" number away from winnnig the big jackpot of $4600.00!!! I almost wet my pants .

So how many B2B families are there on this adventure? It looks to be quite a few from reading back.

How many have had thoughts of staying on the ship in the Bahamas?

Can't wait!! Happing planning everyone!

Hi all, we'll be joining you on his cruise as well. It will be myself, my wife, and our two daughters (11 & 12). We already have a Disney Magic/WDW trip planned over Christmas this year but we could not resist trying the new ship. Anyway, looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Ok, I've been around the Dis as a lurker since our first trip in '06 but dang it if I can't remember the password for this account (rarely posted). So, new day, new account!

Anyway, so we booked this just today--not much available on the ship these days! We ended up with a 9B on deck 2 after really considering a verandah. I have cruised before but it is new to my family so I figure will start with oceanview and I guarantee my hubby will want to rebook with balcony for another cruise while onboard

I earned an incentive trip to WDW/Coronado Springs Apr7-10 through my company and since we go to WDW every year, I figured BONUS! We can tack on a cruise since we'll already be down there and have our flight for free, etc. I am so over the moon about it.

It will be me (39) and DH (40 by then!) and DDs (7 and 9)

My oldest watches the DVD daily--if she knew about the dis she's be on here constantly! Wait'll I tell her about the fish extenders!

Can't wait to meet you all )

My wife, daughter, and I will be cruising on the 4/10/11, and the 4/14/11 cruise.

We did the Fish Extender, and our group did a small gift swap.
Does anyone want to do this on this cruise as well?

Thanks.

 

[TECHJPM]

If we have people interested in the Yankee Swap, and the Fish Extenders, then let me know, and I will make a spreadsheet up, and make it accessible to everyone. Thanks.

 

[TECHJPM]

We are booked in the same stateroom for both cruises so we don't have to take our luggage off.

I have to start making T-Shirts, Magnets, and Fish Extenders...

Yeah....!

 

[TECHJPM]

I am willing to take helm of the group... Let me know what everyone thinks...

Hi, I'm the OP, and it would be great if you can take the helm for our group.
