What about just "Double Dipping Dreams"? That's short and sweet!

I had thought about that one too.

 

[sdchickie]

Or "Double Dipping Dreamers"

Morning all... I can see this board is going to replace the time I spend on Facebook!

Uh oh Kristin, better watch out LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got back from 2012, if you like disaster movies, it's awesome!!!

I'm so into disaster type movies. Even the cheesy made for tv ones. Can't wait to see this as I keep hearing how great it is.

Has anyone heard any rumors about anything on the Dream that has not been announced yet? It seems that there is alot of "unaccounted for" space. Just curious...

Not too sure about the unaccounted for space.....But Deb just posted lots of new info on her site...Check out my post...

Something simple like Double Dippin in Paradise or Double Dippin on the Dream or Dreamin' in Paradise?

I like Double Dippin in Paradise or Double Dippin on the Dream.

Or Dreamin' of a Double Dip?

Here are the details I thought were most interesting....

The Promenade will have a walking jogging track; like on the Magic and Wonder.

While most cabins will have the Queen size bed, there will be a handful of twin bed cabins available. For the most part, guests were not separating the beds and folks complained about the “crack”. The solution was the queen bed with a one piece mattress.

Special attention has been made to audio portion of the theatres to enhance the experience.
Palo on the Disney Dream will seat approximately 160 chairs; the 40-45% proportional difference in size. At this time, Palo on the Dream will have a small outdoor terrace that seats 12-16 guests for an outdoor dining experience. Adjacent to Palo is an ocean view bar where one can have a before or after drink (and you won't need a Palo reservation to enjoy the bar). The bar area may have a special outside section for cigar smokers.

A partial mock-up of the coaster currently resides in Canada, although at this point, no actual ride testing has begun. The current stated minimum rider height requirement for AquaDuck is 48 inches, however that may change once actual testing begins. The rafts will have a minimum and maximum weight capacity. Solo riders will be able to enjoy the coaster! Each person will need to climb stairs in order to get to the loading zone, there is no lift or elevator. The water temperature can be controlled. Look for some special surprises and lighting effects for rides at night!
If you want a sneak peak at the Aqua Duck rafts and are a fan of Blizzard Beach you're in luck. The rafts will be "tested" in Blizzard Beach in the near future!

The biggest difference you'll see in the pool area is that the Mickey and Donald (yes, Donald instead of Goofy) pools will be in the same ultra large deck space. Instead of having the funnel between them as in the case with the current Magic and Wonder ships, families will be able to be closer together. This area (from funnel to funnel) is the size of a football field! A hard deck will cover the pools for special parties and events. It might even be the ultimate dance floor for Pirate Night!

Quiet Cove, the adult only pool, will have a main pool lounge area as well as an upper deck for sun bathing. The pool itself will have different water levels. To accommodate adults who enjoy dangling their toes in the water, you'll be able to sit in a lounge chair and have your feet in 6 inches of water. For those that enjoy more depth, there is a deeper section of the pool. There will be an adult beverage station in the Quiet Cove area.

When I inquired about additional recreational activities, a smile came across the faces of both gentlemen. As I had been told at the press event, there are still surprises and details to be announced for the Disney Dream. It sounds as though this may be one of the bigger announcements still to come!


Well, gotta go start cleaning and let out the dog. I'll try and check in later.

Jen, that website is AWESOME!!! I'll try and send you info for a family page for us later today.

Also, I still don't know what a fish exchange is??? Can someone help me out??

Our family was picked by Disney to throw a Disney Cruise Party today. It was so fun planning and we are going to have about 22 guests. But I can pass some fun on to our group if you would like. I have a whole bunch of game tokens left over that gives you a chance to win a free Disney Cruise for 4. If you PM me your email address, I will send you a game token. I have 40 game tokens left so the first 40 email addresses get them. Any questions feel free to ask.

Sorry I'm stuck on the D's and the Duck...

Disney + Donald + Double Dip = Dream

Dreamin' of a Caribbean Duck

 

[kritter]

Here's a couple more suggestions:

Double Dippin' with the Duck

or another variation...

Double Dip Dreamin' with Donald

or some combo of the above..

I like the idea of incorporating Donald!!

Hi Gang -

Okay, I know our cruise is forever away, but I am a fanatic when it comes to planning. I have never been involved in a Fish Extender Exchange before and with our large group, I want to make sure I plan accordingly. There is so much great stuff out there right now and when I see it I want to grab it to hold on for our cruise.

My question, for those of you who have been involved in a large Fish Extender Exchange before, how was it typically handled? Did you buy gifts for each member of the family for everyone involved? Did you do it more than once during the cruise? Just trying to get a handle on the details so I can be prepared. I have actually already started gathering stuff up - I'm a nut

Thanks!

We just did one gift per family, and we only did it once. It is time consuming, and on a cruise of only 5 days, I wouldn't want to deliver more than once, especially since the ship is so much bigger LOL.

Good luck to all who are hosting and to those attending the House Par-tays!!!!
