Disney Dream April 18-21, 2013

We would like to join the FE it sounds like a lot of fun!

 

[TJDisneymama]

So we get to book our excursions on the 2nd, right?

Eta: is anyone booking any? I think we're gonna do the short atlantis one, not the water park one, just a little tour around the underground ruins and grounds. I've been there several times and I know the kids will love it. Thinking we'll go first thing in the a.m. and be back on the ship for lunch

I hope I won't be stepping on anyone's toes here. I have only done one FE so am somewhat new to setting one up. I've search the DCL Dis board to see if anyone has started the FE for our cruise and I can't find that anyone has. I am volunteering to start the list and keeping track if no one objects or please let me know if you have found that it has already been started. And please feel free to add anything I might have missed for those who have participated in more. So....here we go!

I haven't seen one. I will let you know, I would love to do one but my DF thinks I'll be over extending myself with this plus our wedding! I'll let you know for sure before you close it out

Hi, I might be a little nosey here, but my 14 year old and I were talking about the FE and I mentioned that there was someone that might join and she is getting married on the ship. It was funny, I thought that would be the end of the conversation, as why would a 14 year old boy think about weddings right? Well two days later, he was asking about your wedding on the ship and so we were wondering (if you don't mind answering) do they have a special room for weddings or would it be in a closed public area? And is the Captain marrying you? He seems to find it very cool to be married on a Disney cruise....maybe I'll be attending one in the very far, far, far, far, far out future!

 

[TJDisneymama]

so, how many people do we officially have here? 4? OP, maybe you should update the first post with our info - do they do that here (like on the WDW monthly threads)? Although...... we obviously don't need to post dates or where we're staying, lol. So not sure exactly what we'd post.... I guess our cabin #s!?!

I'm going to look at other meet threads and see what they look like.

Thanks! I will keep adding as we go along. I've been on 3 Disney cruises and still am a little surpised at how few we have joined. But I still think a few is better than none! I am SOOOOO looking foward to this trip!!

Lol, that's so cute! We are getting married onboard the day we are docked at Nassau. Depending on the size of the party, depends on the location. Right now we are still waiting to find out where it will be. You also can get married on CC but its not private. It's right next to a bunch of beach chairs. I don't want my wedding pictures with a man in his speedo in the background, lol! (It actually has happened to someone!). Yes the captain does the ceremony. You have to be legally married before you leave Florida. We wanted to have a small ceremony, we have been together forever, we have a daughter, age 10.

Hello everyone! Just paid for our cruise so it looks like we'll be joining you all. This will be our fourth Disney cruise and the second time we've been to the Bahamas. If anyone is interested in doing the Atlantis Aquadventure excursion, I have a tip. I've been told that if you book a room at the Comfort Suites across the street, you have full access to the Atlantis amenities. Disney is charging $169 per person, but I just found a terrific rate for the Comfort Suites. It is $158.75 + $36.43 (taxes) = $195.18 total for 2 adults and 2 kids. I booked the same thing yesterday through the same company and it was $309, which was the best rate I could find. It is a 99 hour sale so it's a limited time offer. You do have to pre-pay, but you can cancel and get a full refund as long as you do it by April 16th. There is also a $19.95 surcharge per person for anyone over 11, but it's still a great deal. Here's what is included in the room rate:

Rate Includes:

FREE Wi-Fi
FREE Continental Breakfast
Kids 15 and Under Stay FREE!
FREE Unlimited Daily Access to Atlantis ($140 Value Per Guest per day!)

PM and I will give you a link to the site.

almost time to book our excursions!

I was able to pay off my balance early which in turn made me able to book our Atlantis excursion. If you can pay it off, and want to make sure you get on the excursion, you should. I don't know if the excursions book up quick or not, so it might not be a problem.

If this is your first cruise you can book excursions on February 2 (75 days out). If you are Castaway Club Silver you can book at 90 days out. Gold level is 105 days out & Platinum is 120 days out. For all levels the cruise must be paid in full before you can book excursions.

From what I am seeing on here, it looks like you & yours & DH & I are the only ones who have been on a Disney Cruise. Others have cruised before, but not with Disney.
