Disney Dream Inaugural Cruise 1/26/2011!

[seaulater]

I am going to use it .... They are not going to keep it!

It's LAMINATED so you can use it over and over, but only for the Maiden Voyage Jan 26-30. It says it right on the Fastpass!

Can't you extend that 4 more days??

We're B2B and the next cruise may not be as crowded by all the Platinums in the AquaDuck line 24/7.

Sarah thanks so much for the offer of joining the FE. I will pass this time around as I have never taken part in one before and not sure really what it involves - and really time is short here for me to get things organised - with a little over a week before we fly out, and a fulltime job to trudge thru before I can come play!

but some background info on how a FE works exactly would be great, for future cruises!

Here's some FE basics that we've posted before for those new to the fun:

It all started on a quiet little cruise known as the first Panama Canal transit. Remember the FE Exchange is supposed to be FUN. It should not become daunting.

Make it whatever you want. Some folks work from scratch and their talents really come through; others buy items that they think will bring a smile to the recipients. We have gotten gifts as simple as Disney pencils, candy bars, homemade magnets, postcards from hometowns/states, etc. Some are simply left in the FE, others are bagged (usually the small bags you would use for candy etc at kids parties) with ribbon, etc.

We generally do a gift per cabin, sometimes with small candy per person. Sometimes it depends on how far we're traveling to the ship (for west coast or overseas the FE gifts tend to be smaller for obvious reasons). On some cruises, we have joined with others and done a group gift - lanyards and namebadges or wristbands. Each cruise is different, that’s what makes it fun.

Delivering the gifts is also a fun experience, also a great way to see the ship and all the cabin door decorations. Kinda feels like being an elf at Christmas. Some folks leave their gifts anonymously; others have their disname, others their first names; whatever you want. When you leave your gift is also up to you; we'll usually leave ours on a sea day. If your gift is themed, i.e. pirate, you may want to leave it on a certain day.

Hope this helps for a future cruise.

With all the snow and cold we've had this winter the Dream is the only thing getting me through. This will amuse all the people accustomed to winters like this. One of my friends moved from the south this year and it's his first winter here. The other day he says, "Well at least winters almost over. It's already January 10th" I felt really bad breaking the news to him that winter is just beginning and we could have snow well late March or early April

Can't believe we leave a week from Saturday for WDW!

We have new neighbors from SC and they said at the end of August that they would love to see snow since they have never seen it before....well...they did not look too happy shoveling today...3rd storm in 3 weeks!!! LOL!!

We just changed our plans from Saratoga Springs to Radisson so we got it for $95

We will take the earliest shuttle we can get from the Hotel

We would love to get the Aquaduck fast passes too if it's not too late.

The area with the gate that needs a key on the concierge level may only be the new lounge area, not access to the rooms. This is what they do on the RC ships.

Can't wait to get away from this snow

 

[cseca]

Wow, I can't wait to see you guys/gals who'll dress up on fancy dress night
I love seeing tuxes and uniforms, I couldn't really convince DH to bring his tux. But he doesn't mind wearing a dress shirt and pants.
Even got DD a cute dress from Target for $10 last night!!!

ANY INTEREST IN A MEETING OF THE GRASS SKIRT FRATERNITY DURING SAILAWAY

I can get membership cards together pretty quickly if there is interest.

Let me know

MY BAD IT HAD BEEN POSTED, TOOOOO MUCH GOING ON IN LIFE I MISSED THIS,

SO VIRGINIA THERE IS A SANTA CLAUSE AND THE GRASS SKIRT GROUP WILL BE THERE>

PETER POST THE DETAILS PICS ETC>>>>>

 

[Grumpysjgio]

I'd be more than happy to add you to the FE list...just let me know the following information: names, stateroom, number of adults, number of children, any special celebrations, and any other notes that we need to know (such as medical conditions/allergies). I've added other families recently...the only thing I tell them is that I cannot guarantee a 'full' FE being that some people purchased FE items based on the December numbers.

We'd love to have you join the fun!

I hadn't asked before because I thought we were too late but if we could be added to the FE list too that would be great. 2 adults Steven & Leticia 1 child Alyssa (12). We are in 9094

 

[Grumpysjgio]

I would just like to repeat what others have said. Thanks to all those who are making this a very special cruise.

Hi Everyone,

Finally got my gang all together last night and we will be attending the BBQ. Thanks so much to Scott and Lynn for hosting, haven't seen you guys in a long time! Can't wait.

I am going to look at this list of what you need, we fly in that morning but will stop at the grocery store.
