Great idea! I signed up too- thanks for doing this!

May I also add- I know I've said this earlier in the thread, but as a reminder- Ryan and I should have a TON of wedding cake leftover that we can't take off the ship. So, even though I we aren't able to participate in the FE due to no time and money, we'd like to be able to let you all know when/where we'll set up the left over cake so you can help us eat it.

Okay everyone, the roll call has been updated with all responses through today. Updates in post #1!

 

[Cruiser1969]

Hi!!! We are doing a B2B May 15 and 19 -- Me, DH, DS14 and DD12.

Are there any threads started for teens/tweens to meet/chat before the cruise?

Thanks!!

 

[khomer504]

Just responded to the roll call... so excited! My little guy has latched on to the idea that we are going back on the "mickey boat". We talk about it everyday... It's going to be a LONG wait for the poor little guy. (and for me!!)

Talk to you all soon!

 

[marcik29sd]

So excited!! We can hardly wait!!

 

[marcik29sd]

I think I'm the first!!! Woohooo - I am so excited. This is my 2nd time starting a cruise meet thread - does that tell you how far in advance I start obsessing??

We transferred our dummy date ressie to the Dream for 5/15/11. We're staying in a Cat 8C - our first time not in a verandah - I figure it's such a short cruise, we will hardly ever be in the room.

This will be our 4th cruise. It will be me, Joy. I'll be 40 at the time of cruising, my DH Scott (38), DS Nicholas (freshly turning 12 - yikes!) and DD Sarah (who will be celebrating her 9th birthday on Castaway Cay!).

I am looking forward to meeting our shipmates and chatting up everything about the new ship!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

1/25/11 Update - I've created a form for participants to submit their info so we can start tracking who is going and who wants to do the FE exchange.

CLICK HERE to submit your info

I'll start sharing the roll call (username, travelers, cabin #) below as data trickles in, as well as FE participant status.

For me, that is a big part of the fun!! I LIKE to think, plan, dream
and prepare for events. I would not like being surprised by a trip.

I have a friend whose husbands did the planning for a ski weekend and told her when the limo was in the driveway. She did not even get to decide what to wear on the plane, let alone all weekend. I told Tom never to do that to me.

If I won a last minute cruise, that would be different, but even as a kid I enjoyed the anticipation and packed for weeks in advance. (packed, unpacked, repacked and packed again)

We just booked our cruise today! I am so excited! It is my first cruise.... ever! And, DD (3) first cruise. The rest of our gang is experienced cruisers. My mom and dad will be coming along too. We booked cat 4A 9612 and 9614.

We are really looking forward to joining the FE! Can't wait to meet some of you!

We will be heading down to WDW a couple of nights before the cruise and then picking up my parents at Orlando and then driving over to Cape the night before. We are staying at the Residence Inn. Hoping to board as early as possible. I have no idea how the boarding process works.... any tips?

 

[dmask]

Hello fellow cruisers! Tick tick tick counting down the days!! Final payment made and just waiting for the reservation to open... Remy, Palo, Atlantis decisions decisions... Myself (David) and DP Mark, b2b on the 19th.

 

[bubbasmom99]

Okay, let's play a game... You just got $100 shipboard credit... what do you do with it? Spa? Bingo? Many drinks of the day? GO!

I like this game! Hmmm, I think we'd use it to treat our families to Palo brunch, but using it on fun drinks is quite appealing too! We're not drinkers at home, just the occasional glass of wine or champagne (love me some bubbly!), but on vacation I love love love to have a Mai Tai at the end of the day.

 

[cherylp3]

spa or use to toward remy!

 

[DorothyPoppins]

Remy. Definitely.

 

[MaineFam3]

Okay everyone, the roll call has been updated with all responses through today. Updates in post #1!

Hi Joy, I just completed the info form. Didn't get your PM though. Thanks!

 

[mousefan64]

Subscribing!
This will be out second Disney cruise! I can't wait! Two DINKS celebrating my DH's 38th birthday!
We are following with 3 days at AKV Kidani.

Welcome Aboard

 

[branv]

Just checked my trip counter, and I am simply in awe that it's officially hit double digit days! Woo-hooo!!

Okay, let's play a game... You just got $100 shipboard credit... what do you do with it? Spa? Bingo? Many drinks of the day? GO!

Hmmm...well the sensible thing for me to do would be to use it towards Remy. But, since we were already going to do that anyway, I'd probably choose to use it on something I never planned.

Like a ridiculous amount of indulgence at Pink (though I can't really say that won't happen anyway )

Ooooh, or put it towards booking a cabana.

Even better, use it to rebook another cruise while on board

Has anyone else been tracking the room availability on our cruise? I saw the availability is down to just some of the cat 4's. Eeep! I'm tempted to make a pun about "boatload", but I'll spare you this time.
