7/24/2011 5 Night Disney Dream cruise

[Dreamer04]

This is very cool! LESS than a year to go!

Hello everyone!

We will be on this cruise with you and are so excited about sailing on the Dream! This will be our fourth cruise and our second with some family friends who will also be onboard! We're going on the Magic for Christmas this year, but my children don't know about that one. They DO know about this one because their best buddies will be there too, and I can't keep that a secret. It's too funny, though, every time they moan about their next cruise being almost a year away.

Can't wait to meet you all next year!

My Dsis just took care of reservations for our family. We will be 4 staterooms in all...Grandparents, Dsis family includes 3 teenage boys, my family includes DD who will be 4, and Dbrother's family includes his DD who will be almost 3.

Thank you Dsis for all your time spent making the arrangements for the rooms!

You're welcome! Wow, guess I've been off the DIS a while! Do you remember what class cabins we got? I better dig out that reservation!

Hi Dis'ers!!! Is there a list of all the dis'ers on this cruise put together somewhere? I didn't notice one in the first post.

Just being back on the DIS for a few minutes has me jonesin' for a quickie Wonder cruise....any good promos coming up? July 2011 is too far away!!!

LOL: edited to add: I didn't notice this thread was only 2 pages long! Where is everyone?!!! cool...could this mean the Aqua Duck line just might not be as long as I'm afraid it will be???

This will be our 4th DCL cruise. Love the Double Dips! This time we have got friends coming with us. We are very excited about the Dream can't wait!

 

[PoohJen]

Welcome 3LittleHalls!

I love double dips too! I think this is our 3d double dip - we had an impromptu one last summer thanks to whatever Tropical weather system was going on then - worked out fine! This is my 6th DCL cruise - I'm getting very excited about trying the new ship! I was googling articles yesterday about the dining, esp Flo's Cafe and the buffet restaurant. Looks like they are going to "stations" in the buffet, rather than just line service - cool!

Do I have a ticker yet??? I better go fix that - time to start the countdown!

Have a great holiday weekend, everyone!

Edited to say: Holy Cow, Tricia, my old ticker tells me it's been 6 months and 3 days since our last cruise - can you believe that! That's 1/6 of K's life!

 

[Dreamer04]

This will be our first double dip! I am VERY excited about it!

One of the great things about a double dip, is that if you have poor whether or, Heaven forbid, can't dock on the first visit, you've got another chance later in the week - takes off some of the pressure! Also, you don't have to try to "do it all" in one stop!

Also, Dreamer, I noticed you want to parasail at CC this trip. On our first double dip, I booked DS for parasailing on the first day - that excursion got cancelled due to winds, so I quickly re-booked him for the second stop. I.e., you may want to think about booking things for the first day, in case they don't work out (that's assuming there's room on the second stop day). Wild Side is good for the first stop, as a way to make friends early in the trip!

Parasailing...hooray...I've never done it and it is definitely on the top of the list!

Also, couples massage looks so inviting. I'm thinking this should be early in the trip to get me to that relaxed stage!

I need to start a "cruise" jar just for the excursions!

LOL - uh, no, probably more like a second job than a jar!!! Them excursions get mighty pricey!

DH and I always get a couples massage on the Magic. We used to get the couples "massage and facial" - loved it! But alas, last time (Aug 2009) it was just a full body massage, looked like they stopped offering the facial option (I think the combo was just a back massage, not front and back).

I haven't looked into Dreams excursions yet...when do we get to pick? 75 days out?

 

[BeautyFan]

I got home from work yesterday and DH told me our niece just got engaged, and set the date for next July. Can you say PANIC ATTACK?!! DH is not good with dates - I somewhat calmly asked if he could remember the exact date. Whew, it is not July 24th or during the cruise!

 

[PoohJen]

I'm down to my last bottle of DCL/H20 cruise shampoo! What is it now, something like 295 days left? I don't think I can stretch the special shampoo that long!!!

LOL! We have the same problem! But at least it is only 258 more days!!!

 

[PoohJen]

... at least it is only 258 more days!!!

Excellent! Had to go all the way back to page one to refamiliarize myself with our fellow cruisers - did you talk that other couple into joining you, John?

 

[jbwolffiv]

Yep, they are going to join us, their first time on DCL. My friends wife did the Big Red Boat a long time ago and had a bad experience. This will be much better!

 

[PoohJen]

Definitely much better! Especially since it seems we'll have the only 4 families or so on the ship!

Just 7 months and 2 weeks (or so)!!!!

 

[keishashadow]

minus 12 degrees windchill, thoughts of double-dip @ CC keeping me warm!

 

[MichelleVW]

Just booked this morning!!! We hold a steerage ticket lol, but I'm just happy to be going!!!

It's an anniversary trip for DH and I!! I can't wait!!

 

[PoohJen]

Welcome Michelle!!! Yup, my last two cruises were steerage (but if not for steerage, I probably wouldn't have been on them!). The food and fun and experience all tasted/felt the same!!!

Thanks!! I'm so excited!! I'm going to Disney in 3 weeks, but can't stop thinking about the cruise in July!!

We cruised before on the Wonder in Dec 2005 and had a verandah and it was so nice, but the price was a little steep with the last minute booking and I remember that we really weren't in the room much anyway. I'm just happy I'm going!!

This is our 2nd Disney Cruise and we can't wait. We are me, DH, DD13, & DS 18. Looking forward to the Double Dip as we sit in 24 degree weather in Maine.
