August 10, 2012 Disney Dream

[weloveheidi]

Just got our GTY tickets today. Would love to do FE, but don't know when they'll post our cabin number. This will be our 2nd Disney cruise. We're three folks, all told. Me, hubby, and 8y.o. Son. Hope no hurricanes come our way!

Hi all!!! I haven't been on here...since forever!!! The Weavers are definitely in for the fish exchange. We did one last January and LOVED it!!!!

Our children are Gracie...almost 13, Lily....11, and Frankie...6.

I will post our rooms next...I forget! I know deck 7! LOL!

I think we are going to hit Disney after the cruise...anyone else headed over to the parks after or before?

DH, DW and DD11 are going on this cruise. This will be our first cruise and we are all excited. We are going to be at AKL for 4 days before the cruise and going to the dark side afterwards. We will be at BC for the end of our trip later in August. My daughter who is in 5th grade now would like to exchange email with girls around her age. It would be nice if she had a couple kids to look forward to meeting.

Hi Everyone! I'm not even sure if I'm doing this correctly...In any event, my DH and DD (12 y/o) will be doing our first Disney Cruise on the August 10th 5 night Bahamian Cruise on the Dream! Just booked it today and we are so excited!! If anyone wants to give us some general info as first time Disney Cruisers, we'd appreciate it! Have been to Disney World approx. 13 times in 11 years, so we are BIG Fans!! Thanks!!

Welcome Snomum! This is our first Disney cruise as well, but I've been filling my brain with lots of Disney cruise info from Disboards. I know some others on here have done Disney cruises before, so maybe they will have some good insight.

Anyway, the big thing we are starting to plan is the Fish Exchange (FE), which you can read all about on the cruise planning section (it's where we secretly exchange small gifts during the cruise), and you are welcome to join that if you would like. Speaking of which, I need to dig up our cabin number for the FE list...I know it's around here somewhere.....

In case you aren't aware, we have a Facebook page for this cruise! As much as I love the DIS boards, I find FB easier to navigate and manage!
The link should work:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/231220390284804/
See you there, I hope!

Hi All! Add us to the list! (and scrapbookmomma - I requested an add on facebook too).

We'll be coming on our 3rd Disney cruise, but the first with the kids. We spent our honeymoon on the Wonder, so we're coming aboard again to celebrate our 10th anniversary! Traveling will me me, hubby, and our 8 and 5 year old boys.

I'm in psycho planning mode at the moment, so I hope this board will pick up. My husband is currently deployed, and will be home (fingers crossed) a little more than a week before the cruise. So I'm killing time by planning this trip! I look forward to cruising with all of you!

So far we have 2 people signed up for the FE. I set up the list on page 7. Post you info and I will add to the list. If you don't have your room number yet we add it later....Getting close...

 

[moobear67]

For the FE, we have myself, hubby, Deanna 16, Ryan 14 and Evan 14.

Also, my sister will be doing it as well, (she will be in the room next door to ours) so I might as well sign her up. Besides her, she has her 2 DDs: Lea 6 and Ana 4.

I will follow up with the room assignments.

Getting excited!

Hello Everyone,

We just made our deposit for our very first cruise!! Me, Joanna, DH Joe and DD Maggie (14) are very excited. If anyone has any tips for first timers please feel free to pass them along.Still can't believe it. We have a GTY so no cabin # now. We are thinking of joining FE.

 

[moobear67]

Welcome Joanna!

Yeah, another teen joining us (I have 3 teens, so they get excited when I tell them another DISer has a teen).

 

[josquare]

Thanks MooBear for the welcome. I have been pouring over all the posts and told my daughter about the teen boards. When I tried to find it I couldn't. Can you tell me so I pass it on to Maggie.Thanks.

 

[moobear67]

Joanna,

Here is the link to the teen boards. My daughter had started a thread about this cruise, but didn't get much response. There are other threads about the Disney cruise for teens in general, however.
