I have posted a spreadsheet for everyone to fill in.
If you are doing the Fish Extender, then please note yes.
If you are doing the Yankee Trader, then please note yes.

PM me your email address, and I will give you access to the spreadsheet.

Thanks. I will try to help everyone that I can.

Hi everyone,

a view days ago we are in Papenburg at the Meyerwerft to have a closer look to the Dream. It was most impressive, can't wait for the cruise next year...

The Dream is completed October / November, hope we can see the transfer over the Ems (german river) to the Northsea.

 

[TECHJPM]

I can't wait to be on that boat...

I snagged those pix and put them on my disney site. I gave you full credit. Thanks.

Hi All,

We booked this cruise onboard our 4/11 Wonder cruise. With 50% deposit, 10% off and $100 stateroom credit, who could pass it up!

We will be in the aft of the ship on deck 7 in a category 5C. We will also be travelling with our friends in an adjoining room.

Can't wait to be on the Dream!

Hi All,

Unfortuneately our friends had to cancel on this date as they cannot go until 2012. We evaluated going at this time by ourselves but it made more sense for us to go in early March. So, we will not be joining you on this cruise. We will still be doing our blog on our March Dream (back 2 back) cruise so maybe we can help in your planning before this cruise

Have a great voyage!

Chad J.

Yankee Trader is basically a surprise gift... Someone pulls the wrapped gift of their chosing, and then another person pulls one, but the twist is that the people get to choose to "Steal" the gift from another, and trade their wrapped gift. It is very fun, and interesting.

Have we decided on a name for our cruise as of yet? I am going to start working on the t-shirt graphic soon.

I was reading about FREE tickets to Kennedy Space Center. I got an email from my Congressman back, and they will give them to us. Maybe we could all go before the cruise...

Also.. I convinced my little brother, and his girlfriend to go on the cruise. This will be his 2nd DCL, and then they are doing the 14th. I have added them to the spreadsheet.

Thanks for the expanation. i have played this gift exchange around Christmas but never heard of it's name, sounds like fun on the cruise. as 4 a name of this group i think i'm game for anything at this point. I hope more people join soon.

Hi All,

We are set for this cruise too.

DW
DD 11
DS 6

DS will almost be 7.

This is our 2nd Disney Cruise. We are planning on staying a few days after the cruise at Wilderness Lodge. Has anyone stayed there?

Hi Guys,
We are also going to be on the dream for april 10th,2011!!We have 10 people going and have 3 inside staterooms booked!
This will be everyones first cruise and we are all super excited

The Lodge is wonderful. I'm not sure what the rooms are like in the main lodge, we were in a 2 bedroom villa when we stayed. We have been to WDW a few times, and the Wilderness Lodge is by far our favorite resort.
(That could change though, we are staying at Bay Lake Tower after the cruise)

We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge before our very first Disney cruise and really enjoyed it. It's a bit out of the way which has it's pluses and minuses. Very convenient to the Magic Kingdom and the theming and atmosphere is top-notch. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Hi everyone, my dw asked me a question about the FE, and being that we are first time cruisers, I honestly don't know the answer. Her question is are we supposed to put gifts in FEs each night, or just each room 1 time.
Just need a little help on the specifics.
Thanks.

The norm is gift in the FEs one time, and some folks wait until the second or third day so that each day your FE has surprises.
I made magnets and gave them out at the meet & greet, and sill did the FE gift, one gift or group of gifts per cabin. I am from NJ so I gave out a regional treat of salt water taffy as one of my surprises.
Other suggestions are note pads, felt tip pens, magnets, homemade photo books, homemade ornaments, stickers, etc...

 

[chefct]

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Guess I've got some planning to do.
