Disney Dream - August 8, 2016!

[Alyson A]

Just a suggestion...when we went last time, the organizer ended up putting us in groups of 7- 8, which worked out very well. If we are up this high, we may want to consider three groups? It moight allow for more people to join down the road and not having to split again?

Hi Sandi,

Yes, I will definitely be splitting. Since we have so many families going together (with two cabins) each group may end up with maybe 8 families or 9 or even 10. Just enough to make it easy and fun but not so many that it becomes a chore! So, good thought!

I am guessing we will see some more families but I hoping tonight or tomorrow I can complete details for at least two groups.

I can't believe we are getting so close now!

Hi Alyson, We would be happy to be in both FE Groups, especially if it is easier to split the groups. We are in cabins 9596 and 9598, Looking forward to the trip! Thanks, Denise

Hi Denise!

Thanks so much for the information on your cabins. I am going to update the groupings tonight and send out a new/updated list tomorrow.

We are getting so close...our family is definitely counting down the days!

Good morning Disney Dreamers! It is a dreary 50 degree day in Erie, PA and I am day dreaming about our vacation which is under 100 days away. Anyone else have dreary weather today? Just think that soon we'll be dancing at the Sail Away party, snacking on delicious food at Cabanas, enjoying excellent entertainment at the various shows and making wonderful memories with our friends and family. This is the time when I really start to get excited and look forward to taking advantage of everything a Disney cruise vacation offers -- what are some of your favorite things?

Here is the updated list so we can all get started on the Fish Extender gifts! There are presently three groups. The first group has 9 families but I have not heard back from TotesByDN with her cabin number (and I know she is preparing for her upcoming wedding) so I don't know whether they are participating or not. So, that group may end up with 8 families. One family missing cabin information is traveling with another family, Texasbeth, so it should be easy enough to give their gifts. The second group has a solid 8 families. I am waiting on cabin information from Robyn and rgutland (Robyn, if you sent it and I misplaced I apologize. Could you re-send? Thanks!) but I know they would like to participate. Then finally the third group, which is my family's group, has six families in it just to leave a little room for additional families who wish to join.

I have also named the groups just to make it a little easier when we talk about them so remember which group you are in. I always bring extra lists with me on the cruise so if you get on the ship and forget yours, just leave a note on my door! Have any questions or if I need to make changes, please let me know. I am happy to help!

Have a Disney Day!

Allyson, thank you for doing this. My grand kids are in the second group "Dream Weavers" and I just wanted to correct granddaughter, Spenser's, age to 16.

Hi Alyson,
I just booked this cruise with my niece who is turning 10. It's her 1st cruise and her "double-digit trip". I'm the fun aunt who spoils and then sends home. My niece Ashton has seen pics of the FE and is dying to participate. I hope it's not too late to join! It's just the 2 of us traveling.

Thank you for considering us!
Karen

Hey Karen!
YES! Of course! I am so excited for your niece -- what a terrific aunt you are! Ashton is going to have a blast on her first Disney cruise...and on the Dream!? She will absolutely love it! It isn't too late at all. I left room in Group 3, the DAYDREAMERS, in case others want to join in...and you did! You probably know how it works and I just need your cabin number once you have it. You will see each family in our group so you can begin creating the little gifts that we leave in the fish extenders ! I will update our list, include your information once I have the cabin and resend to everyone. Oh, I absolutely cannot wait!

Let me know if you have any immediate questions and please feel free to use this thread to ask questions, share your Disney knowledge, chat about your "must dos", whatever you want! I don't want to wish my summer away but I really am counting down the days until we sail!

So glad that you found us!

Alyson

 

[Sandisw]

Thanks Alyson!!!! Getting excited to start planning what we will be doing!!

 

[Linda May]

Thanks Alyson. Appreciate all the help.

 

[Christie T]

Alyson,
We would like to join your fish extender group, if it is not to late. It will be our first cruise. This is my son's birthday gift, he had been so excited and I just saw your group.

Hi Christie,
Absolutely -- we would love to have you, your son (and whoever else may be traveling with you) join our fish extender activity! The more, the merrier! I am just the facilitator for the game so feel free to share any questions you may have or things you are looking forward to. This thread is for everyone! We have some 'first timers' and some veterans traveling with us. Your family is going to have the most amazing vacation you have ever dreamed of -- so excited for you! Are you counting down the days? We sure are!

I will add your family to the third group this weekend and if you scroll above you will see my many messages but also the most current list. You will be in Group #3. I just need your cabin room number and ages for participants (for adults it is optional!) and who their favorite Disney character is -- that information sometimes comes in handy when planning the little gifts.

If you have any other questions, just let me know! It is going to be so much fun exchanging little treats on board. It is something we are really looking forward to!

Have a Disney Day!
Alyson

[Nancy Freeman]

I was wondering how to find single parents on this trip? I've cruised 17 times but this is my first time alone with my kids. Would like to have some other parents to hang out with.
My daughters are 11, 13, and 15
Thanks
Nancy
