April 17, 2011 on the Dream

Here's another reason the teacher/s could be talking very loudly, she may have hearing problems. One of the neighbors I had while growing up talked very loudly, in a shrill voice to boot, and we finally found out she was hard of hearing and talked loud so she could hear herself. Once we found that out we weren't as freaked out by her loud talking.

WOWW!!! Awesome tips Deb, Pershing and everyone else!! These are definitely worth keeping and holding on to (so I can remember)

I think out of all the tips, my very favorite one is that we can get MICKEY BARS anytime we want. I am in LOVE with those things and thinking about it now, I'm putting on my sneakers as I type this so I can get on the treadmill now. I MUST lose some weight now in prepearation of what i'm going to gain later on.....

I remember the days when I was a WDW newbie (with kids) and printed out about 3 inches of paper worth of tips from allears.net, etc.! (not anymore since I'm the expert now!)

I have to say this is a great forum and you guys are so awesome. I cannot wait to meet everyone in 7 months and 3 days........

PS - Bailey has deserted the TWEEN forum that I, her dear mother, created, but I'm glad everyone else is enjoying it. I will get her back on when she's done with ignoring me!

I'm sitting here reading all this while wearing my DCL hoodie that I got on the Baltics cruise and feel like I could live in it forever. I'm hoping they have something similiar to it in the future because it's so darn comfy.

I got my hoodie on one of the days they had a sidewalk sale - omg it is the best purchase ever!!! That thing is soooo comfy!!

We also got a 4'x3' tapestry of the ships that hangs in our stairwell - it's very large, obnoxious for anyone not into DCL, but it is awesome and was $25 on sale!!!

My top three things I am looking forward to above all else:

1) Finding out what similar service they offer in the spa to the Rasul
2) Not caring about getting off the ship in the Bahamas
3) Remy's

I have that same throw but it's still in the package. I also got the DCL one earlier this year. DH bought me a quilt rack this summer and I plan on taking it to FL and hanging it on the wall that faces the front door and will switch out the throws during the year. I also have a winter one from WDW that will be good to hang up during the winter.

It was good being on the last Baltics cruise since they had marked down everything and the last day they had a 30% off sale for CC members, it was in the morning but worth our time to go down. I had been the only one to get the hoodie but that morning DH and DD got one and we picked up the very last throw as well. We got a few other things and then we were able to combine that with the extra $25 off for gold/platinum CC members. It was a good morning in the shop.

I don't think there is a possibility to pick just three things, but if I have to:

1. Dinner with my husband at Palo. Dinner at Enchanted Garden. Cannot wait to see the atmosphere changes from a daytime garden to night time. New Animator's Palette to see the new computer generated Crush and pictures.

2. Swimming and putting toes in sand at Castaway Cay.

3. The new Villans stage show.

Sorry that #1 is mulitple, but I just love the dining experiences on the cruise.

P.S. Room service so I can have Mickey Ears without them melting. Every time I get them in the park, I kind of end up wearing them because they get melty.

We saw the Villians show in July and we all liked it. Can't wait to see it again. I just hope that it will be on the Dream.

I may be leaving you all. I was able to snag an 11A room on the April 10th cruise, still going to do the back to back, so will be on the April 14th sailing also.... right now I have to wait till Southwest schedule comes out. Now that school is in, my daughter really wants to go to the camp I was telling you about they are going to on April 18-21st AND her teacher is begging me to go as a chaporone(probably since I used to be a critical care nurse).... ugghh... I prefer not to go, but then I don't want dd upset when they all get back to school, she is fresh from a cruise and they are fresh from camp, I can just see her upset about it AND the fact that her little sister will likely get to go to camp when it is her turn since I didn't realize spring airfare is so high compared to fall. It will be a busy time as we will be gone to florida from April 9-17th, get home that night and then leave for camp around 9am on the 18th- 2pm on the 20th.... but then the kids have 5 days off for Easter. So we will see. Right now I have all three cruises booked. If anyone you know wants this cruise, I can let everyone know the day before i cancel it so they can grab it. Southwest comes out with their flights on October 5th, so will know soon which way we are turning.

I may be leaving you all.

We will be sad, too, but we understand that you have to do what's best for your family. The good news is that you still get to cruise! Let us know what you end up deciding to do.

 

[pershing]

Ahhhh....too bad Scootch! Hope everything works out the way you want it to.

Chaperone-ing after a nice relaxing Disney Cruise??? You'll need another cruise after that! lol

Right now I'm working as much as possible to try and put the airfare together. Our cruise is still not available on Disney Cruise dot com, Travelocity or anywhere. So, that's nice of you to offer to let people know when you're giving it up. I wonder if it will show availability after you do that or go to a waiting list of some sort. Not to mention all us GTY's! I'm curious.

 

[noahdove]

You will still be on the April 14th cruise, am I reading that correctly??? Cause I can't wait to meet you There are just some things scootch that we need to do, if not for our children, and for this camp trip is for both of you

Yes, I will still be on the 14th, for sure. I can't wait to meet you too. It just depends on if I do the 4 day before the 14th 3 night or after. Part of me is honored that her teacher wants me to go. She had plenty of volunteers, but saw the first field trip that I stayed back with the heavy set boy who had trouble walking and had a bit of wheezing(we walked 5 blocks to the library and back in 90 degree heat). So will know for sure once southwest comes out with their flight times on the 15th. It is very easy to create a bond with those online who share your love and excitement for disney.

Sorry I haven't been on much. Still trying to get back into the school routine! My dd is in a play so the next 2 weeks are going to be crazy. This week is heck week and next week tech. It will be over with on 10/8!

Scootch We are very sad that you will not be on this cruise, but I still get to meet you because I'm on the Jan 23 MR cruise too:

 

[bdink921]

Scootch--what a tough dilemma!! I'll be sorry to see you go.

Travel Tools
Now accepting reservations through March 11, 2011. On September 28, we will open our schedule for sale through April 25, 2011. This date is subject to change! Please check back frequently.

Yikes! That's next week!

I think I'm gonna only buy the way down and come back on the 26th, so I can break up the cost.

I just don't have it now it all now.

Southwest opening on the 28th... wow that is great news. It had originally been 10/5. I am dying to see flight times and prices. Anyone know what time of day they usually start?? I won't be able to sleep.

Historically they usually arrive with a ding at 10 AM but last time they opened up at 5AM.

Sneaky!
