DISNEY DREAM 5-nights May 29th, 2011

[BABYJOSIE98]

Hi! When are you going in Dec to WDW? We'll be there 12/5-12. Dessert party-- I don't need the calories but I would like to check it out. If I may ask- what date are you going to the dessert party? I need to start planning for that vacation, and we were lucky enough to book a cruise 9/3010 for our anniv on the Wonder and that has been taking up me WDW planning...

Hello, I planned the Dessert party for Dec 8th. It is a Wednesday and a non party night. I don't think we are doing MVMCP this year..While I love it..>The crowds last time were just awful.....
Let me know if you book? The fireworks are at 8pm that night and we can enter at 7pm. We are just visiting MK and Epcot on this trip...One day is going too be just too enjoy the Poly.....We are only on a short 4 night trip. I am thinking of booking a Sleigh ride at Fort Wilderness.....

 

[Disneyelf10]

It's depressing to think that I could conceive, go to full term, give birth and still have a few weeks left over to pack before this cruise! (not that I will or am even willing to consider that but it WOULD pass the time!)

funny, I never thought of that to help pass the time before our cruise- I like it ....

 

[kimistry6]

I just wanted to pop in and say Hi to my fellow cruisers. My family booked the 5 night Dream on 5/29. This is our first cruise and we (I) are very excited and trying to read the disboards as much as we (I) can.

Let me introduce myself and my family: I'm Kim 39yr my husband Larry 41y, Matthew 7yr, and Nicholas will be 4 yr when we sail. I am too excited about this cruise and already driving my husband insane with all the tips and ideas I have found on here. I can't wait!!

Welcome Aboard I have added you to the roll call.

 

[diane648]

So excited! We asked my SIL to come with us, which meant we'd now be a party of 5. Our AWESOME TA (Tracy at DU) snagged an 11A for us today. We thought we'd have to move from a 5A to a 4A as two Cat 5 rooms would be cost prohibitive. But, the cost of the 5A & 11A was less than the cost of a 4A so now we'll have TWO ROOMS!!!

 

[diane648]

... and, now my 77 y/o mom is coming too, so we're a party of 6 -- woo hoo!

 

[kimistry6]

I looked at the roll call and realized I left some info out. Let's see, we are listed as a cat 8c gty right now. I recently found out (on disboards) what that means. When we booked our cruise through DCL we were a little intimidated. We've never done a "real" vacation let alone a cruise.

We are in second seating for dinner and no celebrations just a cool vacation.

There is lots of information available on the boards and the links in the Roll Call. If you have any questions or concerns ask away.... there are lots of seasoned cruisers on here that are more than happy to help. I updated the roll call with your new information.
