DCL Picture of the Day - Part 3

[StarGazer99]

DCL used to do a Graduation ceremony for the kids in the kids clubs. They no longer do the Graduation Ceremony, it's now "Friendship Rocks" which is still a ceremony of sorts, fun for the kids to get up on stage in their brightly colored Friendship Rocks T-shirts, and see a photo slide show to music of the activities the kids participated in, in the clubs. No more Mickey Graduation caps
But it's still fun for the kids (as long as they don't have stage fright )

It would be nice to see some Friendship Rocks pics.

P.S. We leave for our next cruise 6 weeks from today so I can't wait to contribute more pictures to this thread!!!

Have a great time on the member cruise! We did the '05 and '06 ones, had a great time!

We went in November 98, too!! We were supposed to go way earlier in the year (like Feb or March I think), but the ship wasn't done when it was supposed to be done. We had to argue with DCL to switch our points. They were going to penalize us for using our points to book the cruise and then switch our cruise date. We had to talk to several people at DCL before they understood that it wasn't our decision to switch our cruise dates....there just wasn't going to be a ship to cruise on when we were originally booked!! DUH!! Then we booked for July and it still wasn't finished, so we re-booked for November and FINALLY got to go!

WOW!!! The ship was FIVE MONTHS behind!! We might be on the Dream Maiden cruise in May afterall!! Seriously though, hopefully they have learned from that, and projected their completion dates more carefully!

What would be cool would be to get the exact same picture taken with your son, 11 years later....if he's going with you...what is he, probably around 15-16 now?

Thank you TIGGER/POOH4.. I realize I think I have seen a photo like this but didn't know what it was.. I absolutely love these threads and spent almost all day going through all 249 pages of thread 2 yesterday, which meant I skipped reading a lot of the posts. I really wish we had a "like" button like on FB or better yet I would absolutely love to have a "favorites" in this forum like in youtube but I would want to be able to "favorite" individual posts.

I think they did learn from it....the Wonder came out in time.

Our son wasn't even conceived yet...he will be 11 in October. LOL I do have a picture like that. I was pregnant with my daughter when we went on the first DVC Member Cruise. We have a picture of the three of us (me, DH, DS) in front of the ship at CC. When we went a couple years ago we got a picture of all four of us in the same spot. We do the same thing every time we go to WDW...we get a picture of the kids in the monorail. It's neat to see how much they've grown each time we're there.

Keep all the awesome pictures coming! I love this thread!!

Yes, he is going, and that's a GREAT idea! Our DS will be 17 by the time we go in March. DD will be 12, and she was just a baby last cruise..... Time sure does fly!
