Disney Dream Inaugural Cruise 1/26/2011!

Oh...and the Magic tried one last time and finally got into Castaway Cay at 1 p.m. and they got to stay until 6 p.m.

When we went into Castaway Cay on Saturday morning it was absolutely a gorgeous morning and we had no wind problems at all. A little cool breeze at Serenity Bay, but not crowded on the adult beach at all.

Sure, tell everyone before I can!

But what Peter didn't say was on Friday the Wonder was on a Sea Day (Unusual because the Wonder generally does the 4 night the first of the week, not the last part).

Anyway, we got on the ship Wednesday, had my first ever inside sailaway party in the atrium because it was pouring rain at 4 p.m. Then on Thursday we were in Nassau, the on Friday an unusual Sea Day! So...........

Unfortunately for the Magic on Friday, they were unable to port into Castaway Cay in the morning because the wind was so bad. Peter/Jenn and Jamie/me were talking to Captain Henry in the Castaway Club Party at around 11 a.m. when he said we would be sailing next to the Magic in just a few minutes!

We all jetted out of the CC party and headed up to Deck 10 and sure enough, here she came. She was just absolutely beautiful and was so close to the Wonder it was amazing. The two ships kept playing the horns back and forth! We did this for about 1 1/2 hours. The cast members were all coming out on deck to get pictures too because this is something that just does not happen.

It was a highlight of the trip. Got beautiful pictures. Will have to download them tonight and post tomorrow.

Can't wait to see the Dream come into port and to get pictures!

We were lucky enough one of our sailings to have the Wonder sail by CC while we were there....I believe this was 06

Adding my name to the list of inaugural cruisers!

The Jan 26th sailaway date is my birthday, so I just couldn't resist! And the date the Dream is arriving in port was my Mom's birthday, so there is certainly some very strong magic going on here!

Thank you Peter! We are requesting early dining.

A little early perhaps, but is anyone thinking of getting a taxi from Disney to PC?
Mick and I would normally get on the DCL bus but we would really like to be there early for this cruise! I'm thinking 5am!!!

Seriously, I'd really like to be there for about 10am so if anyone wants to share a cab with the 2 of us, just let me know.
Or, if you're driving and have room for 2, we'd be happy to pitch in with fuel costs!!

My daughter and I are thinking about checking out Universal and Harry Potter World. If we do this, I may end up staying at one of the hotels there. If we do this, we would rent a car for pickup at MCO and drop off in Port Canaveral.

Good Morning Cruisers!

This is my weekly post - glad to see that I did not have too much to read!

Welcome to new cruisers!

Linda and Peter - great pictures/stories of the 2 ships.

Have a great week all!

RE getting to the port, several of us rent cars and drive over on the morn of sailing, and oft times the rides are shared. Just tossing that out as an option. Then again sharing a limo might work, heck with this group we could rent a bus,

I think they'll be plenty of us judging by the message below!!
