7/24/2011 5 Night Disney Dream cruise

It does seem real now! There does seem to still be a lot of availability still for excursions. My question is do you have to book the 2-day float rental ahead of time or would we be able to get it there?

We did a double dip in 2006. You had to prebook all of the two day Castawsy Cay excursions. they were not available when you got to Castaway Cay, as they are giving you a 75% discount for the second day by booking in advance. These will not sell out, so I'm waiting to do it closer to the trip.

Silly question-I am trying to do check in and when it asks for your ID number, do they want passport info or drivers license info? We don't have a passport yet so should I wait to add this information?
 
Hi Cheryl,

Yes, it's your passport number. You can leave it blank for now, and fill it in when you get your passport.

I love how Disney's system is all connected. I had not put our passport information in when booking this cruise, but recently booked another cruise and entered the info for that one. When I logged on, all our current passport info was there.

Congrats! How exciting...one step closer to getting on the ship! I hope there is something left for us! We don't get a chance to book until the 75 day window opens. But I will be sitting by the computer clicking refresh as much as possible to hope I can get in first! :surfweb:



Wanted to let you know that Palo still has ressies open for dinner AND I got High Tea today. Plus Remy had openings every night of the cruise as of today. :banana:

:wizard:Hope you get what you want most when your window opens! pixiedust:

i wasn't looking for high tea, but didn't see it;)what date is it?

were you able to book both palo & the high tea?

i didn't see any brunch openings
 
Is anyone visiting the park before or after the cruise? We just got 2 park tix and I'm debating whether to go before the cruise or not. The hot weather is what is worrying me. We always seem to go when it's hot and I swear I'll never do it again, but then I do! Decisions!!

We are flying down on the 21st and staying at AKV. We will do MK, Universal and Typhoon Lagoon pre cruise. After the cruise we are doing 3 days at AKV and then 2 at the Wilderness Lodge. We plan on Blizzard Beach and the rest of the days hopping around the main Disney parks. We have annual passes and go to WDW enough that we just sort of hit a few of our favorite rides, eat and then relax at the resort pool. We sometimes return for dinner and fireworks. My youngest ds and I go to WDW each June for Star Wars weekends and he tries to insist that we stay at DHS from before rope drop to closing. I just hope the heat isn't as bad as it was last year, which was the hottest SWW we've been to ever. I have told him we'll do one long full day and the others we are going to take a break mid day.

We will probably do floats at CC and maybe parasail or jet skis. We plan on staying on the ship or just going nearby the port in Nassau. We've done Atlantis a few times, the Blue Lagoon dolphin tour and the pirate museum on past trips.

Thanks BeautyFan! I am waiting for the time to tick off the clock. We check in online in 11 days. It's taking FOREVER!!! :bored:

i didn't see any brunch openings



High Tea is Sea Day, I got a ressie for 3pm. Kind of late I think since main dining is at 5:45 or 6ish. I didn't see any openings for Brunch, either. High Tea is only $10 and the scones & clotted cream sound so good! :earsboy:

I didn't try for Palo dinner but it was available. The rules that they had on the booking page said you could book 1 dinner, 1 brunch and 1 tea (based on availability) each, so even though Palo dinner was available for several nights, I could have only selected one Palo dinner reservation.

Dang, I remember when Palo dinner was $10!!!! And I hesitated back then to "pay that much extra"!:rotfl:


Hey! I'm just loving my Hogwarts ticker!!! I'm so excite to go to HP Land!!!
 
High tea is nice. We didn't book it this time because we are doing Palo brunch the same day and I can't do that much food in one day. It's hard not to eat the offerings at Palo! We are doing Palo dinner another night as we get it "free" from being platinum.

I just had my curiousity get the best of me and I ended up booking the Comfort Suites in Nassau for the day we are there. It was too good of a deal to pass up. I got the room for the 4 of us--2 adults and 2 kids (one will be 14, the other 10) and with the government rate I got it for $242.40. We will have to pay a $12.945 per person energy surcharge and a $5 per person housekeeping charge for the 3 of us over age 10. 10 and under do not pay those taxes. I called the hotel direct to get clarification on the bottom line price and to ask if we can get the discount with my husband as a police officer on leisure and they said yes. The next best deal was through AAA and that was $ 332.20. We will get 4 wrist bands and able to go into all the amenities at Atlantis. We will call the taxi driver we use when we go there and he charges $3 per person each way. I'm really excited about this as we have usually been to Nassau in cooler weather (except for one August) and know we'll want to be in water during the scorching heat. We had really planned to stay on the ship, but figure we can explore it on the sea days.
 
PoohJen...I do not see a Hogwarts ticker? :confused3


Hanover (Danielle)...Atlantis sounds like fun! :beach: Especially since I've been reading that so many people are not getting off the ship in Nassau these days. We went to Ardastra Gardens last year but missed the Flamingo march, so we might try to get up earlier this time and check it out again. It was a nice leisurely excursion at our own pace. Then hit just a little bit of souvenir shopping - I've never had one of those rum cakes! :goodvibes

It seemed to take soooo long for our tickers to get to under 100 days, and now time is just flying, and I'm already looking disgustedly at my summer wear realizing I will need a wardrobe expedition! (Yes, GA weather will be up to the 80s this weekend so summer wardrobe is a reality!) :cool2:

i booked the aqua adventure excursion thru disney but really not liking the sound of a 20 minute walk from bus to/from the resort:confused:. I can't imagine where it'd let you off so far away when they could pull right up to resort.:confused3

my middle DS is a policeman:goodvibes. I still have comfort suites booked, may just cancel the excursion. My rate is w/SAMs club code & is $223.21, with taxes/fees bringing est total to $299.29 but that doesn't include the $12.95 & $5.00 pp surcharges...if im adding it up correctly approx $335 for 2...was more of a bargin w/i had a kid or 2 along;)...best part is it's a nice walk from nearby towel stand thru the resort & no 'preview' required

decisions, decisions:laughing:
 
I just booked a hotel on the beach for the night before the cruise. I think I'm going to chill on the beach from about 10-11, clean up and then get to the port around noon.
 
Does anyone know what type of fridge - if any - is in the Dream cabins? Time to plan for bringing some adult beverages on board (I'm way too cheap to buy on board):rolleyes1

In truth, we always bring a little beer/wine coolers, but never drink 'em b/c we are too full from food all week. But I am thinking my bro will want to bring beer, and possibly some wine. Is there a fridge that (i) has room and (ii) will be cold enough for that?:drinking1:sail:
 
Just booked Port Orleans French Quarter for the Friday after the cruise. We're not going to the parks, but I still wanted to stay at a Disney resort!
