DISNEY DREAM 5-nights May 29th, 2011

[abcangie87]

Alright! I did it! I had been thinking about the Shirley basket thing for awhile.... this is our 3rd DCL and I've never done it, but I'm so excited! AND I am not telling my family about it

I went with the Large Sand Pail option: large sand pail, 8 sand molds/toys, 2 shovels, 8 drinks, 8 bags of chips, 2 fruit snacks, 2 movie candies, 2 pkgs cookies, 4 tattoos. Total including delivery was $62, which really, I didn't think was unreasonable really at all.

Not that we NEEDED those snacks, etc...but the girls will be happy to have some Capri suns, it will be great having some toys for the beach, and really, what i was paying for, was the thrill of the surprise. I'm so excited!

That's a great price Angie, well done! Mine would have been much more reasonable without the Crown (Royal, that is) hahahaha

I just love this part of doing the little extras!! I know the girls will be thrilled. Take lots of pictures of them! This past Dec we were at WDW and hung stockings for xmas in the room and "Mickey" left gifts for my niece and nephew and they were so excited and couldn't wait to see what they got!
Now, I have been trying to think of something for DH for the cruise to surprise him with.....I may just wait and have it our room at WL afterwards...

I've been TOTALLY MIA from here for the longest time..don 't think I posted here since last year!

I'm been trying to catch up with all the posts!

We can't wait to go! My two boys (8 and 10) are SO excited (as are my wife and I)

We are staying at the Radisson for 3 nights before the cruise....figure we go to the beach, pool, Space Center, etc before the Cruise

Who else will be at the Radisson?

Even though I'm late to the party, if there are some meets before hand or on the ship, it would be great to be a part of them!

Hee hee, I just ordered mine yesterday too! I ordered from her on my last cruise too. I have not ordered anything on the DCL website though.

Virginia,

I added a note to the roll call that the FE is currently closed. New members can start a second one if they desire.

I also added that the roll call is still open.

Welcome back. There is info about the meet n greets in the roll call post. See link in my signature. If you want to be on the roll call please post your information and I will add you.

There is a meet n greet that is being organized for Downtown Disney sometime late Saturday afternoon or early Saturday evening. Details on this will be posted in the next week. There may also be some informal meets planned for some of the off property hotels but I am not sure.

I'll be there Sat. night, not sure who else is. We'll have to meet up for a pool side tropical drink

Funny...lived in 3 places in NJ..and each was right off an exit!

Definitely! Poolside is where we will be Saturday night as long as weather is good

If anyone is setting up a meet n greet at their respective hotels let me know and I will add it to the roll call post.

I'll keep posting reminders to check the roll call for updates on the greets.

24 more days until pre-cruise at OKW.

We are also in Cumming and I have a ds10. We will definitely have to meet.

Ah... my home sweet home!!!!
We decided to stay at OKW for our prenight instead of BLT, because if my girls could SEE the castle but couldn't go to MK, they'd be crabby. We're hoping, outta sight,outta mind

Ah... my home sweet home!!!!

Dang it!! We're at BLT for the weekend after the cruise!

Glad to see 3rascals hanging out with us again. She's probably afraid of being called Bueller again if she falls off the board.

Virginia, can we get the final final count on the FE #s? I've got to get my stuff finished up! Thanks so much!

So here's a poll or two to indulge my chattiness:
1) Have you got your suitcase out yet (anything in it?)
2) What's something on your packing list that might not be on ours?

have a great day!!!!

I don't have an actual suitcase out yet, but I have "the basket" going. I have an old laundry basket that I start putting things in ahead of time like the power strip, little fan, etc.

Packing List: I always pack some ziploc bags in all sizes including the giant ones. They always come in handy. I also take a small fan since we don't have a balcony and it really helps circulate the air.

Can't believe we only have 25 days to get everything together!
