Disney Dream - June 2, 2013 - 4 Night

[curley76]

Our kids were brainstorming in the car today about what they are going to do on the cruise. It went from living at the pool to the kids club to the shows to the restaurants...oh, they have no idea just how great this is going to be. I get excited just listening to them!!

Sorry for being MIA for awhile. My best friend goes to school in Grenada and she left on Sat, so the last couple of weeks have been dedicated to her.

The FE List has been updated. No new additions. My cabin number has been added and there has been a deletion. GoofyMurillos (Jazmin and family) will no longer be travelling with us.

The FE List

I read back on these post and I cannot see what the FE list is? Can I ask what it is or is it a secret ;-) KIDDING! Just wondering.

Thanks

We just booked our 2nd Disney cruise today for Jun 2nd. So excited! It will be my retired parents, me, my husband, and daughter who will be turning 8 on last day of cruise.

My DS will be turning 8 on the 2nd day of the cruise. We brought our DD to WDW for her birthday which falls in FEB. But a June birthday at WDW just seemed to crowded for us so A'Cruising we will GO!!!!

I was told that the stuff on Castaway is good to do (please ANYONE correct me if I am wrong) and that Atlantis water park was not worth it. Again that is not first hand knowledge but a friends recommendations.

our goals for excursions on this trip are simple:

DS - Swim with Dolphins
DW - Watch it all happen
DD - Snorkle
ME - Parasail, snorkle, visit the islands

2. It is 1,115 feet long
3. The ship can hold up to 4,000 passengers

Keep em coming Curly .........Love fun facts especially if is about Disney

This weeks fun "did you know" moment: There are magical portholes in the inside staterooms that offer a real time view of the outside of the ship.

The last time we cruised with Disney we had an inside room, I would have loved to have a magic porthole.

So the fun fact for the week: The ships fireworks show is choreographed to pirate music. Did you know that they don't do the fireworks show on the Alaska cruises?

Hello all! My family of four, plus my brothers family of four and our mom and dad are all going on this cruise. Glad to be "on board" with the rest of you.

Oops! Guess I'm supposed to spell it out like this (correct me if I'm wrong):

I will be crusing with my DW, DS(12) and DD(8) as well as my brother and his DD(10) and DD(6). Our parents will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.

I don't do Facebook, but I'll have my wife add the page so we can stay up-to-date. Also plan on participating in the FE, but don't think I can send PM's yet. I'll get there, just give me time!
