DREAM OCTOBER 14, 2012 4 Night Bahamas~If You Can DREAM it...

[MomsOf2boys]

Ok, we are also coming along on the cruise! It'll be our first one, so of course I'm trying to get all the info that I can - and getting completely obsessed with it!

It will be myself, DH, and DS(6).

Welcome! We are glad you are joining us!

I'm excited too. And perhaps a bit obsessed... If you have any questions or find out anything great, please share!

Thanks everyone!!

Thanks everyone!!

Welcome to the Dis as well!!!!

Happy Valentines Day Cruising buddies.....

All the talk about FE has made me decide to join in and do the FE. So you can add us to the cabins that are participating. Last time we did one bag of surprises per cabin, but depending on who was in that room dictated what was in the bag.

Sorry I missed your post! Glad to have you join in on FE!

I still haven't come up with how I will actually pull the surprise off, but I know I want my kids to put togther a puzzle, I would like them to each have the same # of puzzle peices and work together to figure it out. Now my dilema, how do I get the puzzle made? Does anyone know any websites where I can have a puzzle made. I know there are people that design the door magnets.....I know how to have a puzzle made from a photo, but I just want to pick out a picture of the ship and have it say "We are going on another disney cruise". Or something similar. Any ideas?

Thanks

I think that's a fantastic idea! There are plenty of websites to choose from! Just google it! And you can make your own picture and load it up to the website and play around with it.

How about this one?

I like that one! It's got palm trees!

I like this one of course!

Both those pictures are awesome. A co~worker found me one also of the dream with Fire works shooting off of it. So now I have to order the puzzle and figure out how I will present it to them. I think I will wait until May to let them know, so now I need to start working on FE ideas.

Woohoo! You could play Disney Trivia and each piece is a prize.

Hooray! Welcome!

Pull up a chair and get comfy... we have a little bit of a wait still. If you have any questions, please ask... we have a lot of knowledable people reading here.

Is it your first cruise ever or just with Disney? What are you most excited about?

Thank you!

It's my first cruise with Disney, although I've been on Carnival Fantasy and Splendor, RCI Independence of the Seas, Costa Victoria, and a few more UK ships.

It will be my son's first cruise which makes this more exciting than ever!

The things I am looking forward to the most are Castaway Cay, the restaurants on board, the shows, the Oceaneer Lab for DS and the stay at the Beach Club afterward

I'm not sure about doing the Fish Extender yet, I wouldn't have a clue where to start with it all

Hi All! Just booked Dream cruise for 10/14 & I am soooooo excited!
This will be the 1st cruise for my DH, DD16, DS4. We are celebrating DS 5th bday while at sea. My parents are coming w/ us. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've been on one cruise before but it was a while ago & it was not a Disney cruise.
I am very curious about the FE's. whats the deal w/ those?

Hello and WELCOME!

Is your son excited about his birthday celebration this year?

This will be my first cruise as well and am actually the head of FE. FE is short for Fish Extender. It's a type of gift exchange that is unique to the Dis for those going on Disney Cruises and completely optional. Here are some threads concerning different gifts and how to make the extenders themselves if you decide to join.

Hello and welcome! I am so excited that you will be joining us on this cruise! We are an awesome group!

I have been on 2 other Disney cruises but not on this ship. If you have specific questions, please ask and someone here will for sure know the answer or where to get it!

Hello everyone!!! My family and I will be joining you on this cruise!!! SUPER EXCITED cannot begin to explain how we are feeling. Our party consists of my DH (29), DD (5months), DMIL (65) and me (29). We will be in Stateroom 5656 and have the main seating dining (you have our permission to post our info on the main page ). We are celebrating many things: my 30th birthday, my DD's first birthday, and my DMIL's first cruise EVER. My DH and I took our very first cruise last year on the Disney Wonder to the Mexican Riviera, and we LOVED IT! That was where we signed up for DVC. We loved doing the FEs, but are going to sit this one out - it's just too much work and I don't have that kind of time with a newborn.

I'm caught up on all the posts, and we can't wait to meet you all!

 

[ymchavez]

A few people from the MR cruise who were coming from all over the US mailed boxes of FE stuff and food to their staterooms. Are we allowed to do this on the Dream? Because we are coming from CA, so anything we can ship out would be amazing. Does anyone know?

 

[MomsOf2boys]

Welcome! Very excited to have you on the cruise with all of us. I added you to page 1 already. How fun to celebrate your little one's first birthday on a cruise!

As for the mailing, I thought I read somewhere that it was limited to one box but I don't know if that was per person or per stateroom. Someone will find it for sure. Maybe Sallyskelington?

If it is for baby items, I saw on the Disney cruise website this morning that you can preorder baby items and it will be delivered to your stateroom. Diapers take a ton of room and you could always pack a soft tote bag to carry the extras off if you are staying for a trip to the World!
