Disney Dream Cruisers November 27, 2011

[*Flower*]

I am very sad to say that my wife and I had to change our date of this cruise, So we will not be joining you. We had to change it because my Company in there great wisdom have decided to make that week a blocked week for vacations. Sorry everyone. I hope you have a great trip

Sorry to hear it Scotty- hopefully you'll be able to book one in your 'authorized' vacation time period!

Hello everyone! Unfortunately we are not going to be on this cruise. We have moved up to a different one in October. We are going with 2 other families now and they needed to go at that time because of their children's school breaks.

Have a wonderful cruise everyone!

 

[Myhappythought5]

We are all still here
We have also found that two other families might be joining us on this cruise. But not sure about them.
I am so ready. It seems so far away but. But I am a little glad for the extra time to plan and get things done.

So far to go until cruise time, but at least I can look forward to getting my resort bookings done in a few weeks! Gonna check out AKL concierge for the 1st time! Then maybe a couple days at BLT with MK view for the holidays.... WooHoo!!!

This would be awesome!!! I really want to check out the wilderness lodge concierge level. That is one I have always dreamed of being in. I hope you are able to and it is great!

Can I join early? We are planning to book this cruise, but waiting for my in-laws (who are on another cruise right now) to return and confirm that they can babysit for us while we are away. We should be booking sometime next week. I'm so hoping we can book concierge level. Keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't sell out.

Our cast of characters include...

Myself- age 34
DH- age 35
DS1- age 5
DD-age 3
DS2- age 6mos, he will be sitting this one out, staying stateside with Grandma.

I've so enjoyed reading about the fish extenders, and we would like to be included in this if possible. It's great to be here! Looking forward to getting to know everyone. This will definitely help the time pass more quickly!

Hi Everyone,

We are stilled booked on this cruise, just upgraded to a Category 4B on deck 8...we just got back from a 16 day trip to WDW and the Wonder. This was our first Disney cruise and it was amazing. The crew, the shows, the food and the island...all unbelieveable. Can't wait to experience the Dream!

Before the trip, we are staying a night or two at Bay Lake Tower or Animal Kindgom Concierge (if we can get it with DVC, at 7 monthes), then we are doing Bay Lake Tower after the trip for 10 or 11 days. I am glad to have another trip to plan for, since we just got home from WDW yesterday.

Our trip will include me, Valerie (34, 35 at sailing) and my boyfriend, Joe (31, 32 at sailing). We are from just outside Boston in Winchester, Massachusetts and are DVC owners and love Disney. We have no kids. Really looking forward to talking to everyone on the sailing!

Can't wait! Been really busy late and just only had time to get back into thinking about this cruise. It has been so long since we booked and now over half way there! YEA!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to see everyone again!

364 more days!

 

[mannpeg729]

just off the 4 day wonder... thinking seriously of doing it again!!! only questions that remain... can we wait a whole year??? is 4 days really long enough??? or should we do a backl to back 3 day!!! we really can't wait to see the dream!!!

 

[princesslvr]

we'll be first time cruisers on this one!! I'm so excited!! (DD doesn't know about it yet, it might or might not be a surprise, lol. I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut)
our cast of characters
Princess will be 6
Daddy prince-44
and myself-40

we were actually going to celebrate my 40th (oct 7th) birthday and Disney world's birthday(oct 1st) but I gave up that trip so we could do this cruise and then spend 10 days at Disney after the cruise!! Plus DD really wanted to go back to Disney during Christmas, that was her first trip to WDW in 2009, and she couldn't stand the heat when we did a short trip during Labor day weekend this year.

I'm already planning out my FE gifts, lol. I figure I've got a year to plan, buy, make them. So definitely add us to the FE list!!!!!

Thanks for the Pixie Dust
I ended up getting very sick on our Christmas trip to Phoenix wound up at the hospital emergency room (am doing great now), so I wasn't able to call on the "11 month window" day. I was afraid I wasn't going to get it. I finally was able to call on the 28th and amazingly my CM said I got the very last Deluxe Studio Club Level. Woohoo!

We were a Cat10 inside so we could check out the new virtual porhole, but we just upgraded to a Cat8 so we could have a little more room

I am not sure how the FE works, as far as us getting info from each other... I see some have listed their individual families. Is there a thread that will be started to see who all is going to be involved in the FE? Do we just post our info here and also just collect info on our own here? Here is our family info..

Papamouse
DW
DD (17 at cruise time)
DD (12 at cruise time)

I absolutely can't wait!!

 

[princesslvr]

I've never done the FE before but I've read about it in other meets/trip reports--I think that there is someone that keeps a master list/thread of the FE participants, updates the stateroom#, if they are having a birthday, anniversary, allergies, etc. Then we all have access to it. I saw one on thread that they had a spreadsheet, which helped everyone stay up on the number of people who wanted to join we could use google spreadsheets, so those that didn't have excel on their computer could still read it. I'm snowed in again for the umpteenth time and I'm seriously wishing it were time for us to get on the dream!!

 

[Mcqueen Fans]

We are getting so excited with all the pictures coming out of the Dream! Just still seems so far away!! I am already working on stuff for the FE gifts!! I have never done this before so I really don't know how to start a list of people or anything like that. Has anyone done this before? It would be nice to start a list so we know how many people we already have interested in doing the FE gift exchange. We have a long time but I am a planner so I like to start early. Also it give me something to take up time and keep me from going crazy waiting!!

 

[disneybride96]

We just got back from WDW, so this is now my next vacation to concentrate on. We went over to the port to check out the dream as she left on the Christening Cruise. She is beautiful and looks so much larger than the Magic or the Wonder! This will be our 7th Disney Cruise. Only 9 more months!!

 

[WeLuvDCL]
