April 5, 2012 5 Night Bahamian Cruise (Dreamfinders)

[mackiemom3]

Talked with Disney today our semi-formal night is day 2 and Pirate night day 4. What would be a good night to try Remi? Thinking the last night or the the 3rd? New to Disney cruising so any suggestions would be welcomed!
I'm interested in joining the FE list but I'm so not crafty and not sure what is involved.

We are trying to figure out what night to do Remy's too. Your info was helpful. If I only knew my dining rotation If you would like to join FE, either post your info here or PM me your name and room # and I will add you to the list. I think you need 10 posts in order to PM.

Looking forward to this cruise.

First of all I'd like to say THANK YOU (thank you, thank you, thank you) for organizing the FE. We all really appreciate your hard work. I really excited I'm sure it'll be a ton of fun.

That being said I'd like to see the deadline 6-8 weeks before the cruise. My thought is if you are ordering or making something you may 4 weeks may be cutting it tight with everything else that you have going on. But I'm good with whatever.

Thanks again and MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi,

I think we could have the deadline be at around 6 weeks. So far I haven't heard from anyone else. I am sure that everyone's been busy with the holidays. Does everyone think 6 weeks for the FE deadline would be a good idea. That way it gives everyone time to make or shop for their FE items.

We are surprising the kids this weekend with the cruise. It is one of their Christmas gifts, so I can't wait to see their faces on Sunday morning. They have been asking:when are we going on another cruise?" and "I wish we could have a virtual porthole room"

No problem in organizing the FE list. I don't mind at all. I am really looking forward to this cruise and FE just makes it that much more magical.


Have a Merry Christmas to you too!

Vicki

6 weeks to a month is good for us. Looks like some cabins have opened up..Thought it was a full crz for a bit there, do you think this will change? Gosh Im so excited, it's a bit more than three months away! Have been addicted to the boards the last few days. What in the world are these Mickey Bars everyone talks about? LOL! Can't wait to have my first. Have been a loyal Disney fan for too many years and can't wait to get my cruise on! I'm hoping that the 2013 magic and wonder schedules come out on a day we are sailing! Fingers crossed for the Pacific! Shannon

I am good with the 6 week rule.
My count down app is showing 95 days... (We are doing the world first.)
Can't wait!!

 

[Tammi67]

Double digit dance!!

Six weeks sounds good to me. Now that the holidays are over I can concentrate on the FE gifts. Time to get creative!

 

[Beachbumpirates]

Hi All! I was waiting to get thru our trips this year and Christmas before jumping in on this thread. Now I can start to prepare for this cruise and I cant wait!

Vicki - can you please add us to the FE list? Thanks for organizing it too!

We are - DH Rob, DW Laurie (me), DD Megan (16), DD Mallory (13) and we will be in cabin # 6168.

We will be spending a few days at the parks before the cruise also. Still have not booked our air - I am waiting to see if the fares drop any as we get closer.

Looking forward to getting to know you all. Sounds like we have lots of kids similar ages - how great!

Happy New Year all!

 

[MagicLovinMama]

Hello all! Happy New Year!

Cutting off the FE at 6 weeks prior to cruise sounds like a great idea. Only three months until we set sail and I haven't even gotten started on our FE gifts! yikes

Since this is our first cruise, we get last dibs on palo/excursion reservations so we're still waiting for our window to open up. This being such a full cruise I'm trying to not get my hopes up too much for anything major. Really hoping there's some nursery time available, though, because our baby would not dig second seating dining every night. Has anyone gotten their reservations for things they wanted already?

Ordered water shoes for the kids today and a sarong for me. Getting so excited!!

 

[ginnymack]

Hi all! I hope it is not too late to connect with you all. We will be sailing with you on April 5th and are so excited! I just made my final payment last night and prepaid my hotel for the night before....needed to get everything paid before the end of the year for tax purposes!

I would love to join the FE list. We are a family of 4: Myself (Ginger), DH (Mark), DD (Katie 8), DD (Meredith 6).

We are staying at the Country Inn and Suites the night before we sail. Post cruise, we are planning on heading to WDW for 2 days, but not acutally hitting the parks. I am planning on researching hotels, playing some mini golf, hitting a water park, and checking out a few restaurants. I am not sure where we will be staying....probably one night off property and one night on!

 

[mvlimmex]

Hi and Ginger!
I will add you to the F.E. list. I think this is going to be a excellent cruise! I have a daughter named Stephanie who will be 8 as well. She has been writing on the kids thread that was started by my older daughter. If Katie is interested, I am sure Stephanie would be glad to write her, there are not many kids her age writing on there.
Thanks,
Vicki

Vicki - Thank you for adding us to the list. We are looking forward to cruising with you again also! I just reminded Mallory to hop on the kid's thread and catch up!

I can't believe we're down to 3 months!!! When I booked my trip I was at 17.5 months away from the cruise. Getting super-duper excited!!!!

 

[MDTerp]

This time, 3 months from now, we will be in the Atlantic aboard the Dream!! I'm soooo excited!! We have decided to keep the news of the cruise from our DD (14) until the very last minute (it was supposed to be her Christmas surprise, but we had other surprises for her). Its going to kill me.

We'll be staying at AKV for 2 nights pre-cruise and I just booked DME transport for both the AKV stay and port transfers.

Booked this trip nearly a year ago...can't believe we're only 90 days out!! Hmmm...guess I should start my packing list!

See you all soon!

Hi everyone - We have been on the FE list for quite some time but unsure if we would have to cancel. To make a long story short I became unemployed but today I figured out that we could swing it! Woo hoo! We are so excited but now I feel a bit overwhelmed since I haven't got our passports yet!!! Yikes! Looking forward to the FE and hopefully meeting some of you in 3 months!!!

Labela - Lisa, Matt and DD Olivia (6 1/2)
