Cruise secrets that DCL doesn't tell you

[tchrrx]

All DD11 could talk about was how she was going to order a Mickey bar at midnight one night just b/c she could. During the 5-night cruise we ordered room service.....never! We never even wanted additional food. We enjoyed the soft serve ice cream, but never went to any of the buffets. Oh well...maybe next time!

We had the same problem...either too full of too tired.

This isn't a "secret", but a suggestion. When on a DCL excursion, put your character sticker on a backpack or underneath something. We came back from a great cruise in the Med, and all our photos had the stickers on them!

Hate to ask a dumb question, but what is the "character sticker" for?

We use our travel alarm, but I always have a back-up wake-up call. Just like you can do at the resorts.

The stickers are given out to excursion groups so that when multiple groups are leaving at the same time, you and they have a better chance of ending up in the right place..... All of the mickeys go here, all of the minnies go there, etc.....

They tell you to put them on your shirt so that everybody can stick together, hence how they end up in all of your excursion photos

How can you be too full for the oatmeal raisin cookies from room service?

This book does not include the Dream, but if you go to hiddenmickeyguide.com they are listed there. Good luck!

Amazon has the publishing date on it as 2009, so that is the one I own, and no - it doesn't have Dream in it.

It is easy to ind your cruise meet, just go to the Disney Cruise Line Forum, then pick Disney Cruise meets, then pick Find your 2011 Wonder Cruise LINK here, and finally, pick June 28 and there you have it. I have really enjoyed hooking up with my group (not until August 16), and signed up for the FE exchange, etc. It sure does increase my excitement to know that I will meet up with people from the boards when we get on the ship Don't put it off any longer, go check out your cruise meet thread NOW
