Hello,
Ours were 4 and 7 when we first started. It seems like almost forever ago. We've been spoiled by 7 night or greater cruises, so that's why I opted for the B2B. We also wanted to check out the Dream. These boards are very helpful for planning. If you are planning to do a day at Atlantis might be more cost effective to reserve a room at the Comfort Suites Paradise Island. It is for us due to the girls ages. You might break even.
Welcome aboard!Hi everyone - count us in, too! We just paid deposits, and are also doing the B2B with the 3/24 cruise. We just did the 3/20 Magic Western Caribbean and realy wanted a 7 night on the Dream.
We have me, DH Scott, Grandma Pauline, and DD Megan (14 by next March). This is our 2nd Disney cruise but first one for Grandma.
We loved the fish extender last time, so we would be happy to participate on this cruise, too.
Looking forward to fun times ahead!
Laura
Is there any must do things, or things that arent worth your time?
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! A DCL honeymoon will be just magical. There is way too much to do on a cruise, so highlight your Navigator each night and hope to do some of your favorites. Many of the activities overlap each other, so you can't do it all. Plan a special dinner at Palo or whatever it is called on the Dream. It is the adults only restaurant. I'm not being too helpful, but these boards are filled with threads on everything from packing lists to pictures from meals. We just discovered the cruise magnet thread. We've always admired the door decorations, but didn't know how to go about creating them. There is also a thread called "Mel's candy pockets..." You can use some of her creations for wedding guest gifts. If you have specific questions please feel free to ask. Everyone is very helpful.Has everyone done a disney cruise before?
This will be our first cruise and I'm so excited. Im so familiar with pretty much every other aspect of disney and the parks, but as far as DCL im in the dark.
Ive heard about the FE on the podcast board and it sounds like a lot of fun too. It reminds me of girl scouts when my sister and I were little.
Your post really is a good help. Its sometimes just nice to be introduced to things. Ive been trying to spend a little time just hanging around this board to get accustomed to things. Agreed, my DW, DD and I have been reading up and getting excited about our first cruise. From the looks of the food on board I'll need to fast for a week before we sail.
Hi CelticBelle, I just saw a Honeymoon Magnet (Cruise Magnets and Graphics...) on page 95 post #1425 that might be of interest to you.Thank you!
welcome to the DIS. Its so exciting that well both be experiencing our first disney cruises. If you find any good tips youll have to let me know.
I think my favorite that ive heard so far is get to the ship early and have your bathing suit in a carry on, so you can enjoy the first afternoon on the ship.
