Disney Dream Inaugural Cruise 1/26/2011!

[Pinky166]

I can feel your excitement. I just couldn't get a thing done when we booked.

Ain't that the truth!!! I haven't done a thing today!

We are 5 hours in front here in the UK so this morning dragged so slowly with me checking dcl's site just incase it had started every 5 seconds.

Now that I have booked I am too excited to concentrate on anything else!

So true!!!

It seems crazy that less than a fortnight ago we didn't have an inkling that we'd all be booked on the Inaugural Dream cruise so swiftly!!!

That sweeping staircase is gonna be a great place!

Put us down for the stateroom tour too..even though there's already a Cat 11B... we're in a different location. On the back end of the ship!

Yes, a great picture spot for the MV! I'll work with my friends in Shutters to get the best picture available! Added you to the stateroom tour.

Well it sounds to me like this cruise, even though short, is going to be the cruise of all DCL cruises to be onboard. I think the people make the difference and I think all of you are a great mix to be sailing with. I'm really looking forward to sharing lots of fun activities with you....and lots of exploring too.

I agree! It's going to be awesome!

Seeing old friends and making new ones also is on the agenda, for sure....

Now to work on those fast passes adn GSF inaugeral Certificates....

Fast passes in process......I figured laminating them would be great and then we could use them over and over!

Lynn, what did you get now ?

bob Yeah or Nah LOL

42 cabin roughly, listed I know of a few others... so far.

keep posting info photo's can also be posted with info and i will add them to the roster...

Just need some time to get it all together.

Awesome job Peter on the list! Thanks! Guess I need to see what dining we are on. I assume it's main dining.....

We were there knocking at the door the second we knew they could open it! We are soooo in on this one! So glad to see how all the gang is jumping on board! My grass skirt is packed and the Pirate Gear is coming out 2! Aquaduck fastpass for me???.... I don't know, we will see...I haven't done the water coaster at Typhoon Lagoon yet, have not had a chance to go there since they installed it. We are booked Back to Back to be sure we can enjoy all there is to enjoy!

Jamie and I are back to back also. I don't know that 8 nights will be enough though.....

So Bob... are you COMING!!!

We made it down to Annapolis for the weekend. Wow! You guys have been busy. We are trying to talk our family into going on this cruise too. Once Monday hits, I think the ship will sell out.

FE Gifts... Maybe pass them out at our first sailaway meet like the PC cruise. The extra floors may take quite a while to distribute!!!

Linda, I like the idea of printing out Fast Passes! No one will know what hit them. We'll all be goint to the front! LOL!

TOO FUNNY!

Disboard fast passes. Can you imagine the CM at the Aquaduck when we show them our fastpasses?

We most likley will be able to do a pre cruise Wine and CHeese party , OKW or SSR or maybe a tree house

Would love the treehouse, pre-cruise treehouse stateroom tour.......

Hi Peter

We are early dining! Thanks for taking on the roster!

I've got a good start on the design of the name badges!

Ken P.

What's the holdup? You mean they are done and printed yet?

Georgie what are you doing on Main Dining??



Do you think there is a Table 23?

Hi everyone

This is our first MV cruise. Do they do anything special on them?

michelle,dave,DD daniella, DS dominick and baby on the way.

Oh yeah, special gifts, and stuff you can purchase in the shop. Bring your $$

I know what you mean...I have resigned myself to be happy no matter what type of windows there are.....but it is so frustrating when you call DCL and they don't even know. I spoke with two different CM's and they were not sure what the window types were on Deck 2. I guess we will find out sooner or later!!

I am thinking that the Enchanted Garden Restaurant wouldn't have smaller windows, right??? They would have large windows (I hope) and thus maybe the rest of the deck does too!!! Wishful thinking!!!

Did you notice the spiral staircase that leads from the Atrium down to Deck 2? It is located behind the Donald Statue!

When I am in Germany next year, maybe I can get a shipyard tour or maybe the Dream will be out of the hangar and we can get pictures? Then we would know the size of the windows. The poor CM's, they just don't have the info. It's like asking if their our fish outside the doors so we can hang our fish extenders.........poor CM's......I feel their pain....

Welcome to all the new cruisers! Wonder if the ship is sold out yet?

 

[seaulater]

Well, I checked on line to see if anything will still available on the MV. As of 10 a.m. Mountain time, only category 4 and 5 are not sold out. Everything else is GONE!

Maybe if no one books, we can get a free upgrade?

 

[AndyR]

We're in. Just finished battling with swimming Mickey

Andy, Susan and Sarah (DD 9). Currently 4A (GTY) and Late dining (will try to get early dining).

Andy

UPDATE:

Adding 2nd linked rezzie with DMIL & DFIL (Louise & Greg), now confirmed for early dining.

I'm wondering how they are going to deal with the GTY rooms. Since there are no refunds or transfers on this cruise, I was surprised to get a GTY. Hoping for some pixie dust and get an upgrade. I don't care where I sleep, I am just so excited to be on the ship!

My DW called me at around 10 am EST from her work. She was investigating the maiden voyage cruise but having trouble with the online site. I had no problems moving around on the site. Checked for our family of 4 on Jan 26th, noticed the Jan 30th cruise at half the price, quickly deduced that the kids would miss a week of school and then rationalized that just my wife and I would go on the maiden voyage to celebrate our 20th anniversary.

Was able to get a category 08B GTY for $ 2832.24. I did not know when I woke up this morning that I would be booking a cruise. I think my DW knew.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

We are going to be neighbors!! My Husband & I are a few doors down in 2032. Yay!!

Yay, neighbors!!!!

More Brits to add please ...

Joa and Mick
Cat 9a GTY (trying to get a specific stateroom now)
Early dining
Would be cruise number 3 but I think I may have to cancel Oct 2010 so it will probably be number 2 cruise.
From Kent, England.

Looking forward to meeting lots of you and joining in with the activities. Happy to help if need be too.

Ohhh...Kent....our DD had a dear friend from Kent stay with us for a few weeks this summer!!! Small world!!!
