Disney Dream Inaugural Cruise 1/26/2011!

[Lynn G]

For those of us going to the BBQ at OKW - what are we going to need to tell the guard to let us in?

We will let the gate guard know we are expecting a "few" friends, so you should only have to say you are here to visit Scott and Lynn. I would like to encourage car pooling and the use of Disney transportation to alleviate parking problems, the is a boat from Saratoga Springs I think, the have redone the boat system and I am not sure you can still get from Saratoga to OKW, but it might be an option.

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

I've added you to the roster. The roster technically closed in December, but we have had a few families join the boards recently--that was why I began adding people again. It was a group decision to close the list early in December because of the holidays and what not. I'm more than willing to add people to the list--the more the merrier!

Thanks for joining!

Here is our current list of those who have said they were coming to the BBQ, if your plans have changed and you are on this list, please let Lynn or Scott know. If anyone else is interested, please let us know ASAP - we need to know how many hot dogs to get!

I think we are looking good on food, if you want to bring something, just bring something that you think folks would enjoy!

I am picky about hot dogs and only get all beef, probably Ball Park will see what Sam’s Club has to offer. If some one wants to bring something different to grill feel free to do so.

As this is a large group and I do not want to upset the DVC Pool Gods, please do not plan on using the pool unless you have pool hopping privileges etc.

We also do not want to upset the Parking Gods, so, if you can, carpool or take Disney transportation! That will leave more spaces to those who have to drive!

Please let us know, via PM or email, what you are planning on bringing and we will up date this post as we receive updates.

Also any help with set up and clean up will be greatly appreciated. Set up will commence at 3:15 ish.

When and where would we collect the lanyards and is there a charge? I have never taKen part in anything like this before.

Hi Everyone

Just a reminder - name badges and lanyards will be available at the following locations:

At Scott and Lynns BBQ at Key West on Tuesday, January 25.

At the terminal - I will get there fairly early - you will have to play "Where's Ken" to find me. It probably won't be to difficult - just ask the people with the special lanyards and name badges.

On Deck 12 - Starboard side (that's the ride side of the ship) - overlooking the Mickey and Donalds pools from 2:30 to 3:00pm - if it's raining, I will be on Deck 11, starboard side, between the two pools trying to stay dry.

If we can't connect in these places, you will have to call me in room 6554 and make arrangements for pickup.

These are free!

Ken

We are staying at Hyatt Place for a bit of our pre Dream vacation and then on to the All Stars Movie Resort the day before the cruise.
We are taking the first bus to port we can grab.
We purchased transfers gotta love the Disney bus to the port.
Great ride
See everyone onboard
Tim

 

[bats]

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.

Bob

They should be like the non expiring Disney tickets!!

All of a sudden, I have become very excited about this cruise ... not sure why it's today, but now I can't wait!

Thought I'd sorted all my FE stuff out yesterday but then found the stuff I'd deliberately put away for this cruise So, now I've had to undo all of the packages to start again ... hrummppphhhhhh

 

[LIFERBABE]

Hi All!!

Which resort are you going to catch the bus to the port from?

 

[mrp4352]

Not for this chatty bunch! You all do realize we've been going through 2-3 pages a day for over a week now, right? We're dangerously close to the shut-er-down-and-start-a-part-two-thread zone of 250 pages! (well, by the time I posted this - two others snuck in front of me, so we're definitely at the top of the page!)



Did you all see the Disney blog had two cruise entries? One on Remy and one on this really cool Aquaduck frame!

http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog

 

[martincorral]

I hope someone has a camera and takes a picture of the crew members at the Aquaduck the first time someone tries to use one of your fast passes!

Ken

Are these fastpasses just for keepsake or what?
I would like one anyway.
is one per family or one per person?
Thanks everyone thats involved in organizing all this.

Bob

Didn't you hear..........................

They have a platinum line and we get to go right to the front of the line

I'll see what I can do to get your FP extended......

 

[GotDrums]

Which resort are you going to catch the bus to the port from?

The All Stars Movie Resort because we are using the cool Disney to the port bus.
See everyone onboard in a couple weeks
Peace
Tim

Tim

Scott & Lynn, I'm bringing 2 batches of chocolate chip cookies to the barbecue. I will leave the cookies at the front desk on Monday, Jan.24 on my way to work. If you need anything else please don't hesitate to ask me.Yikes, I'm not even going on your cruise - just wanted to participate because I've enjoyed this thread so much for the past 6 months. You are all going to have a wonderful time just like we did on the Transatlantic. Ken and Shari - think of you often when I'm biking or seeing a volleyball game and cruisers you will love Ken's Lanyards - my TA one still hangs in the family room. First Timers, Alex and Carolyn, hope they pick you again to do a special dance on the Dream. You were super. Connie, I look for you in the Parks but I do notice you are cruising often - hope Michael is finishing Law School and Chuck and Patrick are doing well. Linda, I swear I saw your smiling face as our 1st DCL bus drove into Jetty Park on January 4 but maybe it was someone else - can't believe I got up at 2:30 a.m. to do that but I had lots of company. It was special seeing the Dream come up the Channel. All of you are in good hands with Linda - she is the most organized lady I know. Here's to you all - have a wonderful Maiden Voyage. Can't wait to read a report when you get back. I'm sure Disney will make it special for all of you.

Hi Cayla

I can include your friends in the lanyards and name badges. No problem. Just need the names.
