December 26, 2011 Dream Cruise

[unkamike]

Doesn't look like much is going on. Spring has sprung here in FL. had to mow my yard last week, flower beds are next, but am going to Disney World this weekend, so the flower beds are going to have to wait.

Spring here in east texas too. A little cold, but yards need mowed and such here as well...Jealous you're going to Disney. We are going back in June and I can't wait!!

 

[ksloane]

Spring Break this week. 289 days left I think until we're on the Dream!!

Can't wait to meet everyone!

I added you to the list in post 9 and marked you as being interested in participating in a FE. We are too...In fact, my dd10 would be disappointed if we don't. If it doesn't work out, I may have to just pick up some things for her and put in ours each day...


If anyone else is interested in participating in an FE, let me know and I'll mark your names as well....

Thank you

Hi there,

We're also going on this one.

Spending 6 nights before and 5 nights after cruise in WDW. We've been to WDW seven times inc. two DCL cruises but never at Christmas or New Year. Can't wait to experience it in a whole new way, as well as the new ship!!

Glad you're joining us. Can't wait! You'll love Disney at Christmas! We've done it once and it was one of my fav trips. Can't wait to see the ships decked out as well!

Add us to the cruise.

We actually booked this cruise last year, when we did the Labor Day Weekend Cruise. We usually just go to WDW between Christmas and New Years. We decided to try something a little different, prior to celebrating NYE in WDW.

We have two cabins, one for my wife and I, and one for our DD and BF.

 

[ksloane]

I've added everyone up to this point to post 9. We're up to 8 DIS families.

Remember if you are interested in possibly participating in a FE Exchange, let me know that as well, and I'll add the notation by your name.

December seems soooo far away right now, but I'm surprising DD10 with a trip to WDW on May 30 so I'm anxiously working on those plans....

 

[WinnieThePooh13]

I'm going with my husband! We would most likely be interested in participating in the FE activity, but we've never done it before, so I have to start making one! 5 other cabins filled with family members will be with us, as well, so I will check with them (I just have to explain what a FE is. It sounds like something right up my Mom's alley!)

 

[DanieD0909]

YAY! I'm so glad that there will be more cabins for FE's!! My mom and I have been working diligently on our FE's and we can not wait for this cruise!!!!

 

[cappygirl]

Looks like we'll be cruising with you all!
DH's grandfather is taking the whole family (all 19 of us) on the cruise followed by a few nights at the Boardwalk.
December can't get here soon enough.

 

[unkamike]

Just finished paying for this cruise, looks like I'm going by myself. My nephew won't be able to go. If any of you see an old fat guy sitting by himself, say Hi!, that will be me. Still looking forward to this getaway cruise, work is such a hassle during the Holidays. Just Six months to go!!!!

 

[lori_vinciguerra]

We will be on this cruise for my daughter's 17th birthday! Can't wait to see the new ship.
Lori and Ralph
Rachel (19)
Natalie (17 on 12/26!!!)

 

[evadicats]

We'll be celebrating my 40th and our 10th anniversary on this cruise with 2 other families and then heading over to the WDW through NYE! I hate to wish away summer now that its hear but I'm really looking forward to being on the Dream!

We are interested in the FE. It would be our first time so need to understand the logistics. We are Lori and Ralph, and DDs Rachel (19) and Natalie (17 - turning 17 on the 26th!!! so it's her birthday cruise!).

Hi Lori,

I would recommend searching for Fish Extenders on the Disboard site and there will definitely be posts with pictures of people's extenders and what they have done and/or received for gifts in the past. But basically; you can hang some sort of bag; pocket; etc to the fish outside your door. You would then give one gift per cabin or one gift per person in each cabin in the fish extender exchange group and they in return would give you a gift back. You get a mixture of everything...candy, gum, lotion, homemade bookmarks, homemade bracelets, magnets, ornaments, etc...no gift is too small...it is all for the fun of it. The hardest part is making room in your suitcase! Hope that helps!

Thanks Danielle! We were just on the Alaska cruise and I got some info from other Disboard members on the FEs. It sounds like fund and we're looking forward to it! By the way, I'm changing over to a new Disboard name since I was so lame to pick my own name as a login originally. lori_vinciguerra is now BraveCruiser. Thanks to teriyaki for the suggestion!

 

[DanieD0909]

Hi everyone! Can we do a roll call of who is doing fe's??

Danielle & Proby (31 & 32) - cabin unknown
Liz & Ray (56 & 65) - cabin unknown

Just need to get my numbers together of how many gifts we need... Thanks!
