[Happy_N_Doc]

Ok, the Bedard clan is officially in. I am still a little nervous, but I think it is just way too much FUN to pass up on. We will be in two cabins, but participating as one group (ie one FE).

We are~ ~
John (Dad)
Kim (Mom)
Nancy (Gramma)
Jack (boy, 8)
William (boy, 7)
Henry (boy, 4)

We will be staying in cabins 9043 & 9045.
Thanks so much for your patience with me.
I can't wait!

Starting to sew my FE. Hubby figured out my embroidery segment on my sewing machine. I didn't have time. I have a good part of my FE gifts compiled and ready to be assembled. Still waiting for a couple of things I ordered to come in. (tapping my toe here waiting on the post office) I am getting freaked about the count down. Anyone else in the same boat! lol *sorry, just had to* April 7th just can't come fast enough!!! WhOoT wHoOt!!

 

[NEmel]

Mine are pretty much done as well. Getting so excited, our countdown is at 37 days until we leave!!! Ready for some sun and warm weather after a big snow storm lastweek.

Just thought I would check in to see what the final numbers are for our FE exchange. I bought the materials needed for the gifts and am going to get started soon (whenever my boys arent't around since they still don't know about the trip).

Thanks so much for organizing this... I am so excited!

Perfect! Thought I saw some possible late comers. I will get to work!

It looks like several of us are in Georgia and are cruising for Spring Break.
I was just wondering if any of you were from Gwinnett County Schools? Their Spring Break seems like it is a week later than years past...

We are from the Atlanta area. Our oldest is in public school in Cobb, and our younger ones are in private in Fulton, and they have different Spring Breaks. Since we can't take our freshman out of school for vacation, we're going during Cobb County's Spring Break. The younger kids can miss school!

 

[SuzPasq]

Ok question for all of you that are experienced with DCL. What do you usually plan for dinner clothes? I read no tank tops, do this include dressy as well? We have been on Carnival and they have a very dressy night. Just want to make sure I plan right. What excursions does everyone have planned? Just found out that we are staying at the Holiday Inn the night before. We get in to Orlando about so I need to find a fun idea for the evening.
Thanks!!

We prefer to dress up--not just on the cruise but day to day too. I will wear a dress 3 nights, and then pants and a cute top one other. My 5 year old daughter is always happy to wear a dress as well. My boys will wear khaki pants and either oxfords or polos every night with dress shoes (well, not super fancy dress shoes, but not sneakers either--hard to describe). We've never done a 4nt before, but I understand that Monday will be dress up optional. I will wear one of my less casual dresses and my husband will wear a jacket but probably not a tie.

Hope this helps.

Hi all. We've cruised a bunch before but I always forget about the "Meets" boards. This was a somewhat last minute cruise for us as we only decided to do this about two weeks ago and confirmed last Monday. It will be me, my husband, our 15 year old son, son that is turning 10 in two weeks, and our 5.5 year old daughter.

This will be our second time on the Dream; the last time was over MLK weekend in 2011. Those of you in the Atlanta area weekend will remember that as the week of our big ice storm. What a super fun week that was for us--home for 4 days and then off for our fun adventure on a new ship. It took us a long time to get out of Atlanta due to the icy roads, but otherwise it was an easy trip and we had a fantastic time on the Dream.

We've never done a 4 night before, and although it's not my first choice, I'm looking forward to getting away. We have friends that live in Nassau, so we will see them for a bit on our Nassau Day, and we always love spending the whole day on CC. My younger son and I will run the 5k and then we will all ride bikes around the island, eat good bbq, and relax in the sand and water.

I'm getting so excited, and am very ready for vacation. We will be driving down to Orlando Saturday morning, spending the afternoon/evening at the Magic Kingdom, staying at the Grand Floridian, and driving over to the port around 10.

WHEW!!! My sewing machines have been going NON-STOP over the last few days trying to get all of my FE gifts finished up! I am very excited and can't wait to exchange with everyone!

Not too much longer now...

Hello all! We just got back from a week of state basketball tournaments. Our niece plays for our school team and this was our first trip to the tournaments. We got first! So exciting! Anyway, just realizing that our cruise is only a month away. Need to get busy on our gifts. Can't wait to meet you all!

 

[cmarquardt]

Just curious...does any of the experienced cruisers have an idea the dimensions of the phones on board? I saw a pic of someone's creation for a bag that they did to carry the onboard phones in w/a clear see through vnyl panel in front. The carry bag had a clip on it to attach to belt loop or backpack. I would like to sew a set for hubby and g/d.
We are doing early dinning. I thought of booking Palo. Not sure hubby would appreciate it. He is a pretty basic food person. I would LOVE to experience Palo. I researched it and thought how wonderful it would be. Hmmmm....
We have the dolphin excursion booked so far.
Hoping our snow is finally winding down. Long winter here. Wisconsin is notorious for having blasts in April. Sick of shoveling, I tell ya!

 

[donald1403]
