Hi Everyone!
Add us to the list! We recently got back from the 11/6 on the Magic. Had a great time and rebooked while on board. It will be me (Maria,) DH(Mark,) DS(Justin-turning 5 on the cruise,)DS(Joey -2 at time of cruise.) We also have the friends and family discount card if anyone needs it. I have to look, but I think it's good for 30 days from when we booked, which was 11/12 I believe. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome Maria, Mark, Justin and Joey!! I have added you to the list, what was your favorite part of the cruise? Was there a lot of talk about the new ships coming out?

Does anyone know what the 4th Family restaurant will be on the Fantasy? Has that even been announced yet? For Christmas gifts for my mom, I'm making up photos of graphics of the names of the restaurants. These will be little gifts she opens before the main gift that reveals the REAL gift. I have Animator's Palate, Enchanted Garden, and don't know the other. I'll add Palo to the list. I've also made up cards for her and the kids, that have length of time on them (this will purposefully confuse yet get them all interested in what this is about) 609 days, 1 year 8 months, 87 weeks, 14,616 hours, 876,960 minutes, and the last one is 52617600 seconds.

On another note, I was at the pet store yesterday investigating one of my 13yr olds Christmas wishes. I really want what I saw, but need some time to think through this further. Now don't cringe......... It was the MOST Adorable RAT!!!! Bluish Grey in Color and looked just like Remy from the movie Ratatoille! He was as friendly as could be, just adorable, and Yes, I said he's a rat! I'm into rodents I'll admit, but keep the lizards, snakes and spiders away from me! Christmas is coming, it's coming! Should I or shouldn't I adopt this little guy for my son (and me)............

The three rotational dining rooms are Animator's Palate, Enchanted Garden, and the Royal Palace. The adult dining restaurants are Palo and Remy. Check out this link: http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/ships-activities/ships/dream/dining/

A Remy (rat) for Christmas would be an interesting present.

I know it's Royal Palace for the Dream, but would they be changing the name for the Fantasy? The Wonder and Magic have that location restaurant, different names. Hmmmmmm.

 

[Pudo]

Oh, I get it. Yeah, that's a good question. My guess is DCL would since they did on the Wonder and Magic.

My sister's college roommate had a pet rat, and so, my sister had a pet rat by default since it was in the same room with her. I think the roommate had "liberated" it and saved it from certain death at the hands of the science department.

She loved it. And it did seem like a friendly little thing. I know she was crushed when he eventually passed away.

We currently have one cat (Pixie) and two guinea pigs (Linney and Haley). I didn't think I would like the guinea pigs much, but they are cute, much more like rabbits than hamsters. Michael keeps asking for his "own" cat, but I think we are done on the pet front for now.

Well, sounds like that rat had a nice life, thanks to the two girls!! And for us, it's a rat for certain now, only not the one from the pet store. This one I found online this morning, at Kijiji. It was posted by another family. It is 10 months old and belings ot a 10yr old girl, but the dad is allergic to it. It is a female and again looks exactly like Remy, and she and her cage and accessories are FREE!! They just want a good home for her. I pick her up on Saturday, and my friend (who cringed when I held the one in the pet store yesterday), has offered to look after it until Christmas, so it can be a gift to my son. The DH doesn't know yet. He won't like it, but beyond a rolling of the eyes, won't say anything.....he goes with the flow
Now I only have to shop for my two teenagers, and my oh my, what on earth does someone get teenagers who pretty much have all the newest electronics and gadgets already? I haven't a clue........ other than GIFT CARDS!

Hey Judy, In all honesty I'm terrified of rats and mice. Chalk it up to seeing MJ in the movie "Ben" during my childhood. That said, why not include the rat (surely it will be named Remy) in your big cruise reveal to the kids at Xmas?

I was thinking along those lines when I saw how much it looked like Remy! Not sure how I'll do it, but I'll do it! As I mentioned, DH rolled his eyes. He would have tried talking me out of it except that it is free. He was pleased to hear their life span is only that of hamsters (2 - 3 yrs) LOL. I'm sure the kids and myself will grow quite attached to her.

I have this same problems with my nieces and nephews. And yep, they pretty much get gift cards every year, but that is what they want. I think they actually count on it now. Itunes, Borders, Gamestop...it makes them happy and it's easy for me!

Everything else they REALLY want is ridiculously expensive. Like fancy cell phones, etc. I leave that to their parents.

This thread is like 7 pages deep and the cruise is like 19 months out!!!!

And ... you can count us in too!!!

Book early, Go big, or go home!!!

So we (me, grammy, and my now 9yr old dd, by the time of the cruise, 11yr old - wow did i just write that) are all ready for girls week out 2012!!!

Is it crazy to be excited about a cruise 19 months away???

We are "dream"ing next year and so we figured we would have a fantasy the year after....

Okay I am having a moment .....
Did they even start building the fantasy? So does that mean we are booked on a boat that is not even floating yet? Yeap !!! I'm crazy!!

Okay moment has passed!!

I should be graduating from my masters program the spring of 2012 and so this is my gift to my self - but my mom and daughter get to share it with me... (not the you need a reason to go on a disney cruise - but I like wearing the button that says we are celebrating) and My daughter's birthday happens while cruising....

So I can't believe there are soo many people signed up for this cruise already!! can you imagine what it will look like when we finally get to the terminal?!

Love and peace people

TTYS

I'm here, finally here!
We will be the same group, myself, DH, DD (11), DD (8) and DS (5)
My Mom (Gramacharming) and her DH~but I don't expect her to come on the boards much and my DSister (affectionately referred to as threeiscrazy's sister) and (hopefully this time) her DH, and definitely her DD (11) and DD (8)

I'm in the mood to start decorating too. The twins turn seven today -- unbelievable how fast the time has flown since their birth. The tradition at our house is to plunge into Christmas decorations the day after their birthday!

Happy Belated Birthday to the girls.


I can't believe how quickly time flies. I've missed having an active board to chat on (or lurk on )

We are booked on the 8th deck (I think, it got confusing since we were unable to book onboard and had to wait for DCL to get back to us). The only thing that would prevent us from cruising with everyone again is if there is an awesome Mexican Rivera cruise that comes up. My mom is celebrating a milestone birthday the 23rd of August 2012 and we'd like to take her to Disneyland and then go on a cruise. She grew up in CA and loves DL, but if they are still doing Alaskan cruises then we will be in the Eastern Caribbean.

I'm off to pick the little man up from pre-school. Judy, there have been NO TEARS all week!

A few of us cruised together on the October 30, 2010 cruise. We were a talkative bunch and our cruise meet thread for that cruise is definitely over 4,000 posts. I'm hoping this meet thread will prove just as lively!

My daughter is also 9 and will be 11 by the time we cruise.

Sherrie, THAT'S AWESOME! Wonder what made the difference and if this will last? But good for him!

I think maybe it had something to do with the fact that he missed a week + a day due to him having pneumonia and he had fun when he went back. I'm still crossing my fingers and toes everyday when I take him.

 

[tinkerbelltwins]

Sheri, I listened to you and morgansmom and went out and bought a cricut on Black Friday for half off. When things calm down after the New Year would you mind showing me how to use it? And I've got some snow globes to pass along too!

I'd to have a friend in town to play with! I'm glad you got one, there were some great deals on Black Friday. Once you get in the groove we can share cartridges so you don't have to go out & buy a bunch at once.

You know you didn't have to get any snow globes.

You know Beth and Sheri, I DO SOOOOO wish I lived closer to the two of you! Maybe I'll just have to come visit sometime
