Disney Dream - June 12, 2011

GOOD MORNING FELLOW CRUISERS!! :banana:

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!
I worked 2 days this week. Colton was sick, so he'd go to school and then come home early. Had to run him to the Dr too. Not strep, which is what we all thought it was, but a virus that mimicks strep. He is feeling much better now. Thursday afternoon we met a few friends for lunch, then headed to the field house to make sandwiches, then off to the game. Our team won!! Friday morning I frantically cleaned the house just in time for Steve's parents and Aunt to arrive. We went to the high school game that evening...and we won! Saturday morning we were up early again...and off to the middle school JV game. Turns out the away team brought the JV AND Varsity and PLAYED the Varsity. Hmmm.... we lost, but it wasn't a shut out. Then the family left and we went to meet our friends from the Chevy Avalanche Fan Club for dinner. (we've owned 2 Avs over the years, don't have one now, but the friendships we've made can not deter us from showing up at thier meets!) Ran by Home Depot for some new shelf supports for in the kitchen, caught up on Facebook and was in bed at 930. I know I was asleep with in minutes of hitting the pillow. Can't even remember what was on TV! I know it was HGTV I flipped to, but then crash! Today will be laundry, grocery shopping, straightening up a bit and fixing the shelf in the kitchen. (thankfully, it didn't come crashing down!)

DMMom...I would LOVE to see the Eagles!! Have fun!!!! I bet 9 to 5 was good too! Funny movie!!!

txvjc...congrats on the employment! My brother in law was unemployed for a year and a half and it made for a very stressful time in their lives. I hope this becomes a permanent job for you!! I haven't given much thought to what we'll do every day on the ship, but we have a LARGE group going now! I know we have 17 as of right now and 5 more looking to book this month! With that many, I am sure we'll have some organized things and some free for all things. I am pretty sure Nassau will be a day to stay on board. I just found out our small little local market....think fruits, veggies, plants and a few amish made items thrown in.....sells Tortuga cakes! I was shocked to find them there! They only had the original, but that's fine with me!

Time to get off of here and get moving!! Steve will be home at 6. We'll have dinner and head out to the store. Got to get my coupons together too! Have a great day everyone!!!!

Spent a very nice day with some of my late husband's family: his sister, brother, nieces and nephew. We were just hanging out, watching the Saints game (we won!!) and visiting.:grouphug: Also there was my step-son, daughter-in-law, 3 yr.old grandson, and 3 mth.old granddaughter.:cloud9: It was nice to see everyone. Unfortunately, sometimes we all get so busy that we don't take the time to get together.
 
Information about the Disney Fantasy was announced today! Setting sail April 7, 2012 for the 7 night Eastern and Western Caribbean! Here are some links to have fun with!

I am still wondering why the Fantasy only has dates until Sept 1?? Our 20th wedding anniversary is the 12th and I would LOVE to be on the Fantasy for it! Must be going to the Med or Europe?? hhmmm....... Might have to celebrate early. Cruise and then parks! Yeah....LOL Better start saving my pennies now!

Hello everyone.....congrats on the job txvic!!! My brother just got a full time regular job after being laid off 1 1/2 years ago. He had some work contract but it wasn't enough and not steady. He just started working this job a couple of weeks ago. So good to hear when someone else gets back to work!

Busy week for us as well with marching band. My son has practice yesterday, today until 7pm, a parade through the neighborhood by the school tomorrow, a stadium rehearsal Thurs until 8:30pm, football game on Friday, then contest on Saturday morning at 9:30 then again Saturday night if they make finals. I keep telling him the good part is next year when he's in college, he could work a part time job and still have more free time than he does now.

I'm can't wait for the cruise!! I'm excited to know there are other band and football Mom's going!! It also seems there are alot of older teenagers, young adults going which is great for the kids.

On Nausea, we are leaning toward walking around shopping some, maybe Senior Frogs. But spending some time on the ship. I may actually do one of the spa specials. I've never done that on vacation.

Well, I hope everyone has a great week!!!

We will not be sailing with you after all. My brother is expecting his 1st baby that week, so obviously we all want to be around to celebrate! I am most disappointed I won't get to sail with Marci J. Gonna miss you!

So sorry to hear that you will not be joining us, but at least it's for a good reason! Congrats on the upcoming new baby in the family. That is always so exciting!
 
txvjc...congrats on the employment!

congrats on the job txvic!!!

Thanks...I'm really enjoying it, and I think it may become a regular job sooner rather than later as they are giving me the responsibilities of someone who surprised them and is leaving in two weeks

I'm excited for the Fantasy, but not as much as I was for the Dream (I guess it was the newness if it)...I have a strong feeling we will be re-booking on our Dream cruise for the Fantasy
 
Yes, we hope to be re-booking as well if not on board, shortly after. I would like to do a 7 night eastern carribbean. I've never been there. We'll have to wait and see on that one. We also want to go back to Disney at some point. Can't go too long without that:love:

I am so dissappointed but I understand completely! I hope B's baby comes on time and is healthy!
 
Kinda cool that the Fantasy is out to book now. Makes it seem like the Dream is old news (even though she hasn't sailed yet) and our cruise is that much closer! At least that is the way I am looking at it.

Ever have those times where life is crazy and you think, "Man I could sure use a cruise right now!" It sure does make it feel better to know you have a cruise booked, even better to know it is paid for!
 
Hey everybody,,, also just saying hi as I haven't been able to follow closely. I just got my dinning assignment today and my show assignment time in the mail by a sealed paper from DCL. I had no idea what was coming to me from them as this is way early for our cruise. But, that is what it was when I opened it. I am at 6PM dining and the 9PM show. Can you imaging how tired the actors will be by that time. Anybody else get anything yet?

Ours came in the mail yesterday -- 7:00 show with 8:30 dining. I love to get DCL mail. It makes the cruise seem that much closer.

I got mine in the mail yesterday too, only mine was damaged by the U.S.Postal Service equipment and a whole section was torn off: and when I opened it up, the section that was torn off was the part that gave me my dining and show times! Fortunately, I already knew my times because I had previously contacted my travel agent. But I contacted her again to make sure that nothing had changed. I have 8:30pm dining and 7pm show.

Happy Friday Everyone!!:yay:
 
Hi everyone. I haven't checked in in a while--super busy these days. We received our dining/show assignments yesterday, too. 7:00 and 8:30...woo hoo! :banana:

Since it has been so long since I first posted, I'll re-introduce my crew. I am Paige, and I'll be cruising with my DH Rob,who is retiring from the Marine Corps right before our cruise, our DD18 Emily, who is graduating right before the cruise, her DBF19 Ryan, our DS15 Derek, and our DS11 Alex. (Ages are at cruise time.)

We've cruised with Disney a few times before and we are hooked for sure!

We are thrilled to be cruising on the Dream, and I will make a better effort to post here a little more, so that I can get to know you all a little better.

We got our assignment too. 7pm show time and 8:30 dinner. That works perectly for us. I am sooo happy!

Looks like lots of us are 8:30 dining, 7pm show. Us too.

Hi Paige. Good to hear from you again. Dizneycrazy4 is right: alot of us have the 7pm show time and 8:30 dinner. Maybe we'll be sitting near each other. I'm sure there are also a lot of others on our meet thread that have the same times. I know that I was happy to get those particular times. Getting more and more excited with each day that passes by.
 
Ours came in the mail yesterday -- 7:00 show with 8:30 dining. I love to get DCL mail. It makes the cruise seem that much closer.

Ours came yesterday and we got the same dining and show time! I love the later dining times. It just seems less rushed, especially if you have an excursion or something planned.

Anyone know of any updates on plans for FE's ??? I've been missing some updates and posts, so not sure if it's been decided how groups are going to be divided.
 
Mine came too, but I had a 5pm show and 8:30 dinner...the exact thing I didn't want when I found out about the whole 3 shows a night thing...my agent is on vacation so I had my sister talk to her agent about switching it for me since they had been assigned a 7pm show and 8:30 dinner and our ressie's are supposed to be link and she got it switched for me...this is why I love booking my trips through Dreams Unlimited...if one of the agents is out another one takes care of it for you

Hi, all! I have been reading the boards, but haven't posted much. We got our info in the mail, too....6PM dining and 9PM show. I am happy with that! We will be traveling with: myself, my husband, our 21 year old daughter, her 23 year old boyfriend, and our 10 year old son. Also, there has been mention made that our daughter's boyfriend may propose while we are on the cruise! :love: It is too soon to know yet and I am sure he will talk to us if he decides to do this, but it may be a very, very special cruise for our daughter! :lovestruc He is a wonderful young man and if this is what he decides to do, he will have our blessing. Right now, we have two inside GTY cabins booked, but I am hoping for an upgrade! My husband doesn't want an upgrade, though, unless it is to a verandah.......he wants the magic porthole! :lmao: He is such a kid at heart. I will try to post more and am so excited to meet everyone and see the Dream!:banana:
