August 16, 2011, Disney Dream - Part 3

[uncw89]

Our original rate for the cruise package (regular room...dh keeps saying the kids don't need bunk beds for one night!) was $159 (+tax to total $176), when I rebooked it lowered to $126 (+tax total $139) ...so including tax we saved $37 (sorry I estimated quickly yesterday when I said $38!)!

Glad others could take advantage of the price decrease! Someone had posted about it on the main DCL board earlier yesterday.

Thanks for posting about the lower rate. I got the $126 too...I just was wondering if I had gotten the same rate!

Hi Everyone,

I have almost all of the FE info. updated. I hope to be able to get an email out to everyone who is partaking before the weekend. It looks like we will have two groups of 25 if that is ok with everyone!!

25 is good! Thanks Kristin!

I have the Kids suite AAA rate, non cruise package. It was in the $150's and came down to $121 (after taxes). I was tempted to book the pay in advance room as it would have been around $90 I think, but I hate the thoughts of something I cannot cancel if I needed to.

I agree! I like knowing that I can cancel if I need too!

ROLL CALL!!!
Who's up with me????

ME! I was going to try for Palo, but that doesn't sound like it's gonna happen..so I;m just going to book parasailing at CC and maybe a massage!

I'm going to bed, my daughter Amanda plans to stay up, I told her we'd just get it on the ship and if we don't, we don't, but she is determined LOL
Good Luck Amanda!

Has anyone on this thread sailed together before? Just curious

I hope we don't have to enter all the info to get our boarding time, I have no idea where our passports are in the mess that used to be our bedroom. We are in the middle of a renovation and my entire bedroom's contents are in my basement in a big pile!

You might be able to get a brunch. I think that is what most people are planning on doing just showing up early!!

I'm not holding my breath!! Maybe we'll get lucky and get it when we get on the ship - not overly concerned about that.

We've spent most of the evening debating on Nassau though... first we're getting off.... then we're not.... then we are.... Giving serious consideration to the Hilton excursion (non-DCL) - that we can worry about another day!

How did I know this thread would be busy tonight Kristen, thank you for organizing the FE exchange, my kids loved that on our last cruise! 25 sounds perfect. I can't wait until school is out so I can start working on my FE projects

I'm not sure if I'm going to stay up tonight, I think I might just wait until morning. Not even sure what I want to book.

Me too, I'd like to do that also

 

[sdchickie]

We're going to one of the public beaches at Nassau, can you say
FREE. If we do Cabbage beach we will go check out the Atlantis, but most likely we will stay near port and go to the one near the Hilton.

I am trying to stay up but my eyes are getting heavy. I really want Palo brunch but I figure that all online reservations have been snatched up. So, now I just want to see what arrival time I can get.

 

[DisneyWhirled]

I'm gonna take the midnight plunge! I'm kinda stumped on what night to make Palo ressies....

Although, right now, I am looking at the inside of my eyelids as I type this

Kristin, 25 is perfect! So glad we will have some FE participant info soon!

I was starting to get a little tired too so I went up and made some nachos and I'm good again

 

[sdchickie]

I had to put some more upbeat music on pandora cuz the other station was getting a little tired.

I am fading fast
...Palo just doesn't seem very important when your bed is calling and the alrm is set for 5...

Yummy!! Just had some chocolate here!!

 

[sdchickie]

[rantnnravin]

[sdchickie]

speaking of chocolate, does anyone know if you can get chocolate covered strawberries from room service or anywhere else on the ship?

Hi Mary, Do we want to do earlier in the afternoon and maybe do drinks and appetizers by the pool? Maybe, everyone could bring something to share??

I am game for any time...The only reason I said 4 was because someone (sorry I don't remember and I cant find the post) is arriving Saturday in the afternoon, If it is a nice day I will by the pool all day!

 

[hmansure]

About an hour left.... me thinks I am going to make it
