"Dream Weavers" September 1, 2011

[pjstevens]

DH finally received the vacation picks for next year so we were finally able to book. We were originally trying for the 8/25 cruise but they had no room for what we wanted but DVC helped us find a room on 9/1

We upgraded tp a balcony room this is our incentive cruise for Adding on.

So we will be going from WDW to the cruise.

Excited to do this.

Need to get on the stick with potty training the boy.

Chiara,

Welcome aboard! Your name looks familiar (and not a common one), did you do a Photopass share with me either through the DIS or TGM?

So excited to have more joining our group. We are beyond excited and cannot wait for next September!

Thankfully, we have a trip in 18 days and that can't get here soon enough. I so need a Mickey break.

I think you'll LOVE the balcony, we did on our first cruise and now we are spoiled and don't want to do one without the balcony.

We will be in NYC for about 10 days end of July, beginning of August (well, Staten Island, actually. it is considered nyc, I think ) I haven't figured out which day to go to the new Disney store, but when I do I will be there 3 - 4 hours at least! Then we are off to the treasure coast for another 9 or so days, then a 3 night on Carnival with family, then 2 weeks in Orlando, then the dream on the 28th!!! Yes, I have decided to keep the b2b! I tell my daughter that we won't need to eat our first 3 weeks in America, because we will eat so much the last 2!!! (QSFD at Disney).

Wow, that is going to be one awesome vacation!

Hi all,just booked for this trip yesturday but my booking is still just "on hold" I have 4 days left to make my deposit.I went on 1 cruise before and that was in 1994 in June,we did go through a storm then but we were so tired from clubbing the night before we slept through it.I really want to do this trip with my daughters (7&10) but am getting cold feet about the hurricain season.Are any of you regular cruisers for this season?Anyone that can talk me into this would be great
I accidentally came across 2 videos on youtube during storms that freaked me out alittle.One was just footage of a Disney cruise and the water splashing out of the pool but looked rough and another was some other cruise line and a rescue copter was filming as it almost capsized....has that ever happened on a Disney Cruise?I am worried about traveling alone with 2 little ones in an emergency like that.

We cruised several years ago during Katrina season on The Wonder and the Captain steered us around the storms. We did have some rough waters but nothing serious.

Yep I did a Photopass share on TGM in January with you and I think you are in my AVC and December club over there.

We will be at WDW from Aug 25-31st at CSR before heading to the Dream .

Dara, Welcome to you and your girls. I am so glad to hear that your daughter is doing well. What a great time to take a trip when she is healthy to have such good memories. I will add your info to the first post. That would be great if your mom can join you, but either way, I'm sure you'll have a great time.

A word of warning to all you new Disney cruising "Dream Weavers", if you look closely on the sides of the Disney cruise ships there is some writing in very fine print. The government has made Disney print a health warning on their ships. It says something to the effect that upon entering the ship people have experienced an euphoric effect that seems to last 3-4-5 days and sometimes longer. (side note; after 4 hours you do NOT have to see a doctor) Grown men and women have been known to somehow lose their sense of maturity. (They have been seen wearing funny red hats with black ears even though it's not New Years eve and dressing up as Pirates all together on one day). Children actually enjoy spending time away from their parents during the cruises. People have taken on a lethargic attitude during their trip and finally people have, ahem, gained in girth. If you find you have any of these symptoms run, don't walk, to the nearest phone and sign up for another cruise before you revert back to reality. Don't say i didn't warn you
