Disney Dream March 20, 2011 Happy Spring Break!

[DisneyJenn23]

We are hoping to book a Cabana at Castaway Cay. Anyone book one yet? I wish they would open them up for booking just like they do Palo and excursions. I am hating waiting to find out until we are on the ship!

Late for the party as usual. This cruise shows up as booked by all the sites I've checked. Our family of 5 would love to go with you all. Does anyone know a.) Somewhere to book this or b.) know anyone wishing to transfer a reservation? Signed: Desparate Dad

Rkampas,
A friend of mine just booked last week for her and her three girls. She did so by checking the website every single day until something popped up as available. People cancel all the time, just keep checking! Good Luck to you!

Getting close, and I am SO ready. Whats everyones weather like? Anyone packing yet?

We are in Western NY, so non stop snow of varying degrees since around Christmas, I am so done with it.

Got the online check in done. Always exciting waiting for the actual documents though.

Got one bag packed (FE stuff, beach things, things for the room I know we will not need for the drive down)

Pre cruise hotel room Booked.

We still need to get insurance though....

Rough past month for my family so I am more than anxious to get out of dodge for awhile. The first week in January our 12 year old dog Mojo passed away in his sleep, and then less than a month later (last week) we had to have our 14 year old dog Nico put to sleep. House just doesn't seem the same....

On a "little" bit of an up note, we did discover a couple little credits from DCL on our Visa Statement yesterday, one for $11.xx and one for $13.xx, must be a change in taxes or something maybe-no clue.

Hope you are all having fun getting ready for the trip as the time gets closer, and hopefully your new year has started off a little better than ours has.

I was checking our reservation tonight and it looks like multiple Palo times just opened up. As first time cruisers they were all taken when the 75 day window opened up in January. Anyway, thought I'd post this here in case someone was wanting a Palo reservation but hasn't been able to get one.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

My hubby and I will remember your kindness when we are enjoying our Palo dinner!

Thanks for the great tip!

Thank you for the update on the Palo reservations! I have been checking each week to see if a time slot would open and I'm glad I saw your post. Looking forward to it!

Thanks for the heads up.......we were able to get a Palo ressie last night

Received our cruise docs today and we are very excited. Can't wait to see her. We have started packing and getting everything together. The next month will go by quickly. Looking forward to some Spring type weather.

Got our cruise docs yesterday

The boys got cruise stuff for Valentine's Day. DS(11) got a new snorkel set and DS(15) got some new sand shoes and some shorts for under his board shorts.

Haven't started packing yet but trying to hold off. DH doesn't like the suitcases sitting out for weeks at a time. Still trying to get the 2 boys to try on their shorts to see if any still fit from last year - if they don't get it done they're likely to look a little funny.

Time is getting closer folks! This has been a VERY LONG WINTER! Hoping we have nice weather for the drive down.


I know 2 of you posted that you got your docs, has anyone else? I thought for sure we would have ours by now since we didn't need airline tickets(we have booked EVERYTHING thru disney in the past, and docs came about 3 weeks out)....hopefully any day now.

Anyone know of any good Disney shopping near the port? We usually stay at the Hyatt at the airport, but again, since we are driving we are staying by the port.

My kids are on spring break this week, which will have me more than ready for vacation by the time they go back to school on Monday!

Have a good one everybody!

We received our cruise docs on Valentine's Day. I have pulled out our pirate gear, beach gear and suitcases. I am headed to WDW this weekend for the Princess Half Marathon so after that I can focus only on cruise prep. It is hot today in Tallahassee. First day the kids did not have to wear any jacket to school. Looking forward to the Aquaduck to cool off!

This will be Disney cruise #6 and boy are we ready for it! We are ex cast members now living in Georgia and Disney started us as cruising addicts back in 2002. Just the two of us celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary this time. Looking forward to our first view of Disney Dream.
Happy cruising.

Three weeks til we leave! I can't wait, I need some sun and fun!!!!!

 

[ddeal1957]

Received our documents today!!!!! can't wait.... time to start getting clothes ready for the trip!

 

[Pyrdum]

OMG! It is getting so close I have to admit I am starting to stress a bit..........less than 3 weeks for us bc we are going to WDW a couple days before.

So much to do and so little time......

We have been counting down to this cruise since last spring break. Finally almost here!

Hello fellow shipmates,
I wanted to see if there are any other families that would like to be part of a FE exchange? There is already one started but it is closed to additional participants so if you are more a last minuter like me, let me know if you would like to participate and we will get a list going. Even if you are part of one already and want to join ours, by all means let me know...the more the merrier. We had a great time with this last year and my daughter and her friend have had fun getting things for this years exchange. If you don't know what an FE exchange is or want more details let me know.

PLease PM me or email me at captainscapegirl@comcast.net

See you all real soon!!!

 

[bgoodmickey]

Counting the days now! We are going to Daytona Beach for a few days prior and I am ready! Can't wait to see the Dream. Hope all is well for eveyone. Everyone have a safe journey, see you on the Dream.

 

[DisneyJenn23]
