We told them that we would go to see the boats , go to the beach, and then stay overnight at a hotel. Since we live right outside WDW a trip to the beach is believable. We have been watching the web cams and I have told the kids to get close to the ships we would have to take a shuttle because unless you are going on the ship you can't park there. We are leaving the car with Park N Cruise, it seems like it gets good reviews and half the cost. I am so shocked neither of them has caught on yet, especially my daughter who has already looked through the paperwork Disney sent. It looks like there is a great group of people going and maybe not so busy and if anyone would like to give me their Palo brunch Res that would be great
jj I will definitely be trying to get one of those as soon as I board lol. See ya real soon
The Dream will be my first cruise but I was originally going to be on the Magic. I honestly was looking forward to starting on one of the original ships, though. I might have to consider one of the Miami sailings next year too if I "magically" have enough money to book that onboard.
Bought my Bonine today! I get majorly sea sick so let's hope this fares better than my last Dramamine-fueled cruise, where I literally slept through every other day.
I hope the waters are calm for our cruise. I usually only get sea sick on the 7 night cruises. But in the Bahamas I don't usually have problems except for the first night around the time of second dining when they go through this part of the water that is always rough. If you have early dining you should be done eating by the time we get to that part of the water.
But at least 3 of the days we are docked so it should be night and calm on those days
Oh my gosh am I excited that I found this site!!
This is our first cruise and I'm nervous to be honest! Your posts are really making me excited though! I'm so glad I found this site.
We are going with our 3 kids....11, 8 and 4.
So excited!!!
I think you'll love the cruise. The first time cruise is hard because there is soooooo much to learn about. You will end up finding out that there is so much to do and see. I recommend you all just take whatever you can in and enjoy. Glad to see the past posts have helped. When Lynn and I set sail for the first time, Wonder, we did not know about the site. As to which ships are the better, old or new, people love certain things and have developed favorites. Don't worry about the other ships and again, enjoy the Dream. The only drawback will be the crowded pools for family and kids. To small for the number of people but you get around that by using them on off hours, when people are busy doing other things. Other than that you will be busy and have a blast, especially the kids. Since the days are getting closer you will find the posting dying down a little because people are leaving for Orlando. We leave Saturday morning from Buffalo, New York and will stay at Port Canaveral's Country Inns and Suites that night. Won't get much sleep. That's normal no matter how many times we have done this. Any questions don't hesitate to ask. I know I'll be on the boards until Friday night. Enjoy.
It seems like we've been waiting forever for this vacation and now it's finally here. I hope everyone has safe travels to get the port Maybe we'll bump into a few of you at the CIS. See Ya
That's good either way. Today is our last day at work. Tomorrow it's a trip down the road to Syracuse, New York to drop off the Morsel and Munchkin (Chihuahaus) at our daughter's Then back home to just get a couple hours sleep. 
then it's to Buffalo for our flight Saturday morning. Can't wait to get to Kelsey's at the port. 
Hi Chris,
