Disney Dream - June 9, 2013 - 4 night

[RunnerMomO]

Who has done the watercoaster on the Dream? Fun? Is there a long line to use it, or is there a fast pass for the wastercoaster?

No fast passes, lines varied and sometimes got long. That's why it can be good to go while in port in Nassau or when you first board. Lots of fun for adults and kids, but it does have height restriction I think.

What's the benefit of the $15 day pass for the RainForest Room on the Dream? It seems there are different types of showers/sprays/scented showers... is this with lots of groups of people, individuals, couples? There isn't a lot of description about what is included in this day pass..

 

[RunnerMomO]

I tried posting a link to the picture of our FE from our Alaska cruise through Snapfish and it didn't work. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

[yearbooksharon]

I've wondered the same thing about the Rainforest room. I was worried that with only one at sea day, I wouldn't really use it.

Totally off topic, but why did I schedule this cruise for June!!! I wish I was on one right now!!!! 10+ inches of snow on the ground and the worst has yet to come. All I keep thinking about is this cruise!! I want to be there!

I guess it wouldn't make you feel better that we hit 90 degrees yesterday? But I think temps will drop again over the next few days. This has been the craziest winter for sure! Hope your spring comes soon!

Our Winter was mild for being in St. Louis, but we did have a few snow falls but they never really were anything. This is CRAZY! I work in EMS and of course I am on duty today. It just makes for a very long shift. And it's even crazier that I am watching the Cardinals play baseball down in FL while the broadcasters complain how hot it is. Oh how I want to be there!! Or on our cruise...either one would be fine with me!

We've taken a temperature drop over night as well. For Central Texas, 50s in late March is cool. I'm with you - bring on the cruise now. Plus, we just had a new FE brainstorm today.

Less than 24 hours until online check-in.... for those of us that aren't DVC or CC members. And yes, we too are in St. Louis with 10+" of snow...come on Castaway Cay!!!

 

[DVClurkerRob]

I'm sooooo excited to get to book excursions tomorrow. Does anyone know if there are any cabanas left on the family beach at Castaway Cay? I'm also really hoping to score a Palo reservation!

We will be on Lake Travis next week. Can't wait to see Austin and San Antonio. Actually, can't wait to eat BBQ and real Tex-Mex! Hope it warms up! It seems forever until this cruise! Can't wait to see the FE gifts you are making.

No cabanas left Palo was still available a couple of days ago. Palo brunch is incredible. I mean, fabulous! We booked for brunch on Wednesday and dinner on Monday night. Didn't want to miss out on Pirate night which is Tuesday night.

We didn't get nearly as much snow, but seriously - ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!

I hear ya!! I am so done! However it's melting really fast and this weekend we will be in the 60's and I cannot wait.

Anyway, I'm excited to "check in" tomorrow but I see some people mention that you need a passport number. i don't have the girls yet so will I be able to correct that later?

 

[yearbooksharon]

Welcome to Austin, Disney Lizzie.

Have you been here before? The lake level is still really low from last year's drought so you won't get the best of the lake.

Message me if you need any suggestions.

On a broader note, anyone know what time check in starts tomorrow? Midnight? (Not that I'm obsessive or anything.)

It is indeed midnight. I checked back when we did ours and since you are doing it online, it is just as soon as its the new day. Good luck everyone with getting your reservations and checked in!

I think you can put in what you have and then the online checkin just won't be complete until you add it? It isn't a big deal...what's more important is tomorrow getting your reservations for shore excursions, dining, kids clubs, etc.

Midnight eastern time or local?

 

[yearbooksharon]

It was 11 eastern. We got an 11 a.m. boarding time and the fishing excursion for the grand dads in Castaway Cay. Now I'm off to bed ... finally.

So excited! Just was able to successfully book, at midnight, exactly 75 days out when it opened online, a Palo dinner reservation and a Palo brunch reservation, also booked 2 Port Adventures: in Nassau, Ardastra Gardens and a city tour; on Disney's Private Island, Castaway Cay, got the getaway package with a 3 bike rental, snorkel equipment, and paddleboats; and finally booked a 30 min. Interactive virtual sports simulator for onboard the ship fun one day. Debated Remy, but went along with a Palo dinner and Palo brunch. Also got a 11:30 am board time.
