Disney Dream Inaugural Cruise 1/26/2011!

[bats]

Now that the holidays are over. Looking forward to the Maiden Voyage of the Disney Dream. My wife and I will be joining you fine folks! Spending a few days in the Animal Kingdom Villas before the cruise! Hoping for warm enough weather to enjoy the AquaDuck more than once!!! Is anyone even getting off the ship in Nassau?

Welcome aboard!!

Stupid Cruise question...

What is everyone carrying on in their "day bag" when they board the ship? This is only my 2nd cruise, so I'm new to the whole thing and I have only a general idea of what to put in the day bag. Any suggestions would be awesome!

Not a stupid cruise question at all!

Mine will have many of the things already mentioned, plus my fish extender and door magnets - with such a big ship, I'll need all the help I can get finding my stateroom!



Now, my question - I've been watching the video from her arrival in Port Canaveral this morning - did anyone else notice the searchlights from the top of the Dream? Do you think those are for all the time, or just special occasions like first arrivals and maybe pirate night?

Have tried for Palo and Remy but no luck - still and entire new ship to explore and now I know what to pack for each night.

It's getting close.

: Here's a link to a video of the Dream practicing the Pirate Night Fireworks. I got weepy again!!! I just can't wait!!!!!

Changes I noticed: (1) Fireworks will now be off the port (left) side instead of the starboard (right) side; and (2) the show is longer

Okay, now that I'm off the Magic and have seen the Dream arrive in Port Canaveral, I will be headed home on Thursday and can then focus on this cruise (in between work--what's with that anyway?)

I will be working on fast passes for aquaduck, mini-navigators and the stateroom tour. As long as Ken has your information for lanyards, and Peter has info on his post, I will get that stuff in.

Anyway, I am so excited for the Dream! One thing I learned today. There are NOT hairdryers in stateroom. What I got from a cast member is that they had to call concierge to get a hair dryer. Don't know if they are planning on installing a real hair dryer or not (hated the other ones that got so hot on my hands), but we do have some fellow cruisers who will be on before the maiden voyage, so maybe they can check this out for us!

Can't wait, only three more weeks!

I'm going to do a live trip report on the Christening cruise so I will check the hairdryer situation

It's so exciting to see things picking up so much! I can't believe we'll be on this cruise so soon

I just realized today that we only have 2 weekends left to get things ready I'm still working on FE gifts and trying to find an outfit for family photos at WDW.

DiceCatt- can't wait to hear if there are hairdryers. Thanks for checking for us

Plus the Dream only played two of its songs. I have heard that they can play many more.

Pete, Faith, Courtney and Peter

Today she only played "when you wish upon a star". I was actually hoping for the "Dream" one! but it was fun to be there!
