Disney Dream - 7 April 2011 for 3 nights

[erin.w]

We will be joining in the FE - I will PM you our details!!

 

[AbsyBabsy]

Just popping in to say hi! Can't wait to cruise with you all. This was going to be our first Disney cruise (and still will be for our two daughters) but my husband and I have decided to celebrate our 20th Anniversary on the Wonder this Sept. So excited! Getting experience with the FE exchange. What a blast!

I'm willing to keep track of anyone interested in doing an FE exchange on this cruise. When you join...let us know who your cast members are and if you are wanting to participate in the FE exchange. And...yes...I'm a planner!

Happy August!

Hi btjhayes! Love the planner!! I would love to be a part of the meet and the fish extenders. My group is squeezing into one room for this one! Me, Amanda, my DH Ed, my DM NannyJac and my DD 11th Bday on 4/7 Abigail.

I propose a meet at 3pm in the Promenade Lounge - what do ya'll think?

I was also thinking about names for our group -
April fools (the girls will hate this one)
April flowers (the boys will hate this one)
April Diamonds (diamond is the stone for April)
Dream makers
Dream takers

I don't think I like any of these - any other ideas?

Hi Everybody!

We will be joining you. My family consists of me, DH, DS13 and DS10. This will be our 8th Disney Cruise

We are booked for the B2B so we will be staying on the ship from the previous 4 day. This will be our first B2B also! Sounds like we will have plenty of company!

We decided to go on this cruise months ago. We have a travel agent who puts together a group cruise for spring break in my area. I gave her the CC number yesterday, so I consider us "officially" booked. Looks like it will be a sold out cruise.

We are also going on the 11 night Christmas cruise in December on the Magic. We decided to do this a few weeks ago when the low, low prices for the Cat 12 Gty came out. It has been over one year since our last cruise and we are anxious to go!

I've been back on the Dis Boards daily because of our Dec cruise, but I thought I would "offically" join the thread for Spring Break!

Hi all, I don't know if I posted here yet or not. We are on this cruise, along with the 4 day before it. I am getting so anxious to get planning! I can not wait until the first Dream navigators come back. Haven't decided about joining the FE for this cruise yet or not. Just wanted to say hi! Oh, we we will definitely be up for a meet at 3 on the first day. We loved doing that on our last cruise.

 

[AbsyBabsy]

Hey Ya'll, I started a facebook page and an email for our group. I made it private so no one can see when you are going on a cruise and will be away for your house for a week!

If you want to be included, please PM me your email and facebook name and I will add you. I think it may make it easier for us all to get to know each other and plan FE's and a meet.

You're FABULOUS! For our September WONDERful cruise...someone set up a secret FB and it was so awesome to be able to see photos of everyone. When we got to the terminal...we had green (DIS) leis on...some had beads...and we could recognize each other from FB photos! Whew...all that to say...YOU'RE GREAT...and thanks!!!!!!!

I'll pm you my info!!!

With all of the buzz about the DREAM lately...I want to go RIGHT NOW!

Hello Everyone,

We just got back from our first Disney Cruise on the Wonder for Thanksgiving. We are very excited about our next cruise on the Dream on April 7. Our family will add Ireland to the list of countries for this thread as my DH is originally from Limerick, Ireland. DD is super excited to participate in the FE again so please add us to the list.

[gtali97]

that would be great if we can all come up with a really fun sign. I've been trying to think of something creative and I guess I'm having no luck. I've looked at some of the other cruise dates to see if anyone there has come up with something but didn't see anything. Hopefully more people will join the posting...ours is low compared to other dates.

Lori

Oh, where do you find the hangers for the FE exchange? I haven't found much online.

I can recommend a fabulous seller on Ebay. We needed a quick turnaround for our Turkey Day cruise. She delivered the FE early and it was exactly what we asked for. Her seller ID is gradysmommy. Let me know if you would like me to post a picture of the finished product.

Yay...another FE addition!!! We're tiny but it'll be fun no matter how large or small this group is!

Hi everyone. I have several PM's to get to. I have had a horrible few weeks. On November 20th, my father passed away after battling cancer for a year. He lives out of state and I was able to make it up there before he passed and stayed until after the funeral.

Over the last several months, I have been taking my daughter to doctors to try to get her foot healed. She has a foot issue and had just been put into a wheelchair before the funeral.

Upon return home, we were involved in a car accident. A girl texting did not stop at the light and the front of her vehicle ended up in the back of my new Honda Van. My mother, daughter and myself were injured and my van was a total loss. Everything in the back of the van was crushed. Thank goodness my daughter was in the center seat, not the back or she would have been seriously injured.

So even though I dropped into the boards a little, I could not bring myself to think of my upcoming cruise.

I am going to go through each message and add you to the facebook. I have found that I have to be friends with you before I can add you. If you want to go ahead and be-friend me just include on the friendship request that you want to be including on the Dream cruise. I think you can put in facebook.com/hamandayoung.

My heart goes out to you! Bless your heart...you've had A LOT going on! My dad passed away one week before our September cruise so I totally understand how you feel.

Rest...take care of your family...everything will get done when it needs to!

I'll be praying for you. I know how hard these next few weeks/months will be!

So...tomorrow it will be THREE MONTHS until we board (for some of us anyway) that DREAMy ship!!!

And our FE cutoff will be here before you know it! So...here's an update:

9 cabins participating FOR SURE (2 additional cabins tentative)
7 Men (for sure...1 additional man is tentative)
11 Ladies (for sure...3 additional ladies are tentative)
6 Girls (for sure...2 additional girls are tentative)
6 Boys (for sure...3 additional boys are tentative)
7 B2B cruise families
1 Disneymoon couple! Woo hoo!
15 Cabins for the DIS meet???

I'm going to contact one of the DISigners this week (Lord willing!) and get our "Livin' The Dream" logo started!

Soon we'll be able to decide (from the DREAM posting) where they are having the DIS meets. This ship is so large...which lounge do we pick?

I'll PM exact details of FE as we get closer to cutoff date of March 7, 2011...but I think you can work with the details above for now.

Hopefully we can increase chatting on this thread or on the Facebook page!!!!

Getting more excited each day to see this new ship!!!

Got it down!!! Thanks so much. Praying you are hanging in there!

I didn't realize you live in Orlando. So jealous!!!! We just went on the Wonder in September and met three couples who live there. We get to see them when we come down which is so great!

I'm hoping this little thread picks up soon!!! Looking forward to meeting you!
