Disney Dream - June 12, 2011

Krisit - Are you enjoying the Zumba? I've been wondering what it's like.


Irene - I love the pictures of you're family!

Can't wait to finally meet everyone in just over a week!

Yes, I love it! With watching what I eat and the Zumba workouts, I have lost 33 pounds in about 3 1/2 months. I have 4 more pounds to go before I get to my "short" goal before the trip, then when we get back, going for another "short" goal. That's the only way I can do it, set a 5 lb goal at a time.

You really don't even think about "working out", cause it's so much fun. There's a variety of dances and moves, along with mixture of music. They say it's very good for coordination and burns up to 1000 calories an hour. I try to go at least 4 or 5 times a week.

Wow! 33 lbs in 3 1/2 months is impressive! I know I've said it before but Congratulations on that!

Here's the million dollar question - How hard is it to learn? I'm completely uncoordinated and a bit worried about looking like Goofy trying to do something like that.

As we get closer, and folks start heading for the mouse, I thought it might be fun to do our own picture of the day for the remainder of our pre-cruise time. We have lots of returning cruisers. Each day post one of your favorite pics from a previous cruise.

I'll start, this is what I hope my view will be like on June 13th!

Well the day is here... I leave in just about 6 hours. Should be at WDW in about 24 hours after a very long drive tonight. The kids are already bickering so I am feeling a bit of dread for this car trip. It will be a long 18 hours in the car with them if they keep it up.

We are in WDW until next Friday (including one day at Discovery Cove), then we are doing KSC on Saturday before the cruise. I am really going to be ready for some rest and relaxation on the Dream. I hope I will be able to get it. I am sure I will be looking forward to the kids spending time in the kids club and I think they will be too. We might have had too much family togetherness by that point.

Two words for you: DUCT TAPE! Seriously though, I hope they settle down and you have a safe trip to the mouse.

Excellent idea Ashman!

Even though I understand why they had to remove the Flying Dutchman, I'm gonna miss seeing her at CC.

My DW can sympathize with you on this. Our DS12 and I playfully pick on each other like siblings. It tends to drive her nuts. I have a feeling that she is dreading our drive from Texas next week for this very reason!!

Here's a link to a Facebook page that was created sometime ago in reference to our cruise...hope the link works.

I had been taking kickboxing at a local karate school, then started Zumba and got hooked on that. The karate/kickboxing is a great workout!

Krisit - Are you enjoying the Zumba? I've been wondering what it's like.

I am totally HOOKED on Zumba! I go every chance I get.. it's sooo much fun. I was hoping they would start a Zumba class on the Dream since it's so popular right now..

Thanks for sharing the link! I didn't realize there was a group for the cruise.

Hmm.. maybe I should bring some workout clothes just in case. Might be a fun way to give it a try.

Hey Everybody, I am so happy it's June! Woo Hoo!

Packing has started and school is almost over. DS Kevin has only 3-1/2 more days of school. Most of the books are turned in and the finals have all been taken. Tomorrow he goes with a team to an Englishfest competition, so that's a fun day out of the building. Then Friday and Monday and Tuesday his half day and done! We leave next Tuesday to stay overnight at a hotel in the airport area. I've been known to miss a plane by not leaving home soon enough, we live 70 miles and two tunnels away, so best to spend the $ to stay overnight and make our flight!

We are new DVC owneres so we will be staying for the first time at BLT and I am so excited to see it. I'm really worried about the heat cutting into my will to tour, but it will be great to be there. Then the Cruise! I am getting really excited. I hope to use tomorrow really well to get the wash done and pack clothes and toiletries.

Michele - I hope that advil worked!
Rose - Did you get dinner done before 9pm?

Principessa, I never realized you were from Pittsburgh. We are too and my middle daughter did an Englishfest competition yesterday as well. Was it at Duquesne? What part of Pittsburgh are you from? Our high schoolers have half days today and Monday for finals then Tuesday is a half day for everyone. We are flying out Wednesday morning!

Irene, nice to "see" you and your family!

Here's one from our last Disney cruise..

This pic makes me realize how much the kids have grown!

Can't join the group. My DS is on facebook and I don't want him knowing ANYTHING about the cruise.

I love that picture, Ashman. I guess I'm going to have to dig through my pictures from my 2007 Magic cruise when I get home so I can post one.

I love seeing everyone's pics. Hopefully it will help with recognizing faces, even if I don't remember the names to go with them. Here's a couple from us:
