DISNEY DREAM 5-nights May 29th, 2011

[disneyfool_1202]

Did you hear / see???? The Dream's April 17th 4 night got an unexpected DOUBLE DIP at Castaway Cay!!!!
So technically we won't be the first to dream it twice.... DANG - I can't change all my FE gifts NOW!!!

Good for them though- I guess the Aquaduck was malfunctioning so instead of an at-sea day as planned, they returned to CC for the day.

But we got to DREAM about it before we did it, so it still counts.For us, We've been DREAMING about it since we rebooked on our November 2009 Cruise. That was 18 months out. That's a long time in vacation waiting time. So long in fact that DH insisted we needed a WDW vacation in between. Of course it didn't take a lot of convincing to get me to go along with that.

Didn't do the whole quote - but just want to say - it sounds like you are overdoing things. Sorry - it's the mom in me and we want you to be on the cruise.

Oooh - that is so exciting about your dd pictures! Bring some on the cruise so we can see.

LOL! I swear I AM taking it easy. Wed was the first day I drove and I only went to drop Bella off at dancing - I stopped at the market on my way home and got just a few things- and then made my 7 year old carry each bag into the house just in case it was over 5lbs!!!
Today I did go out a lot- but DH drove. We went to get DS's hair cut, had lunch, and stopped at BJ's to stock up on a few things (including wine ) so THAT was a necessity. I then went tanning (hell - I was laying down the whole time so I consider it 20 minutes of resting with my eyes closed) and cooked dinner. The dishwasher is doing the dishes, and I did 2 itty bitty loads of laundry, none of which I actually lifted.
I will be on thear cruise - even going back to work I refuse to work a full day for fear it will set me back!!!! I'm thinking 4-5 hrs will be my max- gives me time to come home and nap before the kids get home from school. I have to say I am feeling great though- almost normal!!!

And of course I'll bring the pictures- they are on my iPhone (which will be in the safe but probably with me for the cruise meet so FIND ME!!!!) Everyone tells me that she looks like a young Miranda Cosgrove (Nicelodeon's iCarly) - I put a pic of her next to Miranda and hell, she really does.

That's ok, Maybe it will break our day at sea and we can triple dip! haha.

I'm in my happy place and we're the first to do the official double dip- that's what I'm telling myself! 'Cuz I'm not ordering new magents for the FE!!!

who wouldn't want 2 days at cc anyways? love it there!

 

[MickeyMagic]

Love it!!! Mind if I use it to make one for myself?

Hello everyone!

My name is Sabrina (Bree for short) and my DS10 (Payton) and I will be on the Dream with you all in 37 more days!

I've spent the past 3 days reading the thread (you guys have been busy ), you all sound so nice and Payton and I are looking forward to meeting you all on our cruise. I apologize for joining in so late, but we've had a pretty hectic past few months and the cruise meet threads completely slipped my mind until just a few days ago.

Chuck, could you please add us to the roll call? Bree and Payton (DS10) from Maryland, we are in room 2056, my birthday is May 30th so this trip is my birthday present to myself ! This will be our third Disney cruise - once on the Wonder, once on the Magic, and now we're sooo excited to be on the Dream! I guess we'll just have to book a cruise on the Fantasy while we're onboard to finish off the set !

Also, if it's not too much trouble, we would like to be added to the fe list - no worries if it's too late, but we will have a little something for each cabin even so. I will PM Virginia too.

I am very interested in joining the ladies for the champagne tasting as well - sounds like a lot of fun! I'll have to find my tiara !

I can't believe this trip has snuck up on me and now there's only a little over a month left until we are boarding the Dream - I actually booked this cruise the day the itinerary was released in November 2009!

I'm working on the GTKY questionnaire and will post that a little later.

Can't wait to "meet" you all!

Bree

You've been waiting a long time for this cruise! Looking forward to meeting with you at the champagne tasting, if not before. See you SOON

 

[MickeyMagic]

Well Drats

we're flying in on Sat too , but we're staying at the Hyatt at the airport - have a gc so seemed like a good use of it

Would love to meet up with all of you Sat evening, but just not likely to be able to make it. I can't think of an inexpensive way to get there and back; I don't think Hyatt offers a shuttle service. So We'll have the pleasure of catching up with you all Sun sometime

FWIW our favorite at DTD is Earl of Sandwich they were offer breakfast in 2009, I hope they are still doing do (for after the cruise) - wonderful food! But WPE is still a wonderful choice

We will be staying at the Hyatt, too. Maybe we should set up our own DIS meet at the Hyatt for Saturday night. There must be a bar?? Or we could meet by the pool if it is a nice evening.

Would love to meet up! our flight should get in at 5:30pm - it's Southwest and they are usually ontime. Other than trying to figure out where to buy a case of water and eat dinner we've got no plans...

I like meeting at the pool; there's the Lobby Bar, and McCoys bar and grill + whatever else is accessable from airport shopping... (1st vist to Hyatt but I did try and read up)

When do you get in?

I know about grocery delivery but if it's possible and cheaper to just buy it at the airport, we'll do that. I wish Owner's locker delivered water + lockers lol~

 

[philatiger]

more Friday's until we the "The First to Dream it Twice"

 

[Disneyelf10]

more Friday's until we the "The First to Dream it Twice"

it's getting closer!!!! yeah!

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

5 more Fridays--we're down to counting on only one hand!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[brinalyn530]

Hey Bree! I also have a ds10. looking forward to meeting you. Congrats on the weight loss!

Thanks ! Looking forward to meeting you and your family as well!

The Lego Imagination Center opened this week at Downtown Disney. Can't wait to see the new sculptures.

Man, DS would love to see that. We're doing a few days at Universal after the cruise, so we'll miss it this time. Oh well, something to add to the list for next trip!

Hooray! Another champagne taster! Tiara or no?

Welcome

Thanks ! I will more than likely be wearing a tiara, I'll just have to put it on after I drop DS at the kids club so he doesn't die of embarrassment !

Love it!!! Mind if I use it to make one for myself?

I was going to ask the same thing! You did an awesome job on those Denise ! Everyone who has put designs up here has done a terrific job - I am envious of all the creativity!

You've been waiting a long time for this cruise! Looking forward to meeting with you at the champagne tasting, if not before. See you SOON

So long I almost forgot about it ! Looking forward to meeting you too!

We're staying at the Hyatt on Saturday night as well. We get in around 2 pm and I had planned to just hang around the airport, have dinner and get to bed early. If anyone wants to meet up for dinner that would be cool.

Getting even more excited at the Friday countdowns, I didn't think it was possible, I might just burst before we leave! I still feel like I have a million things to do, but at least my renewed passport finally came yesterday, so that's one less thing I have to stress over !

We're in the home stretch now everyone !

- Bree
