Dreaming of the Disney DREAM, Feb 17, 2013

[dizneeat]

I have started a detailed list of the FE participants. It's in the first post! Would everyone who wants to take part please PM me with your first names and ages of kids and your stateroom number if you know it already.
Tom and I love to personalize our presents so therefore we need your names. Once they are posted, please check for any misspelling or other mistakes on my part!

Thanks! I am SO looking forward to doing the FE exchange again!

So, the fish extender exchange is for little gifts that go in the extenders? We're not exchanging the actual extenders, right? Little gifts I can do.....anything sewn by me would not be a treat for anyone!

Yes, the FE is supposed to hold the little gifts one receives. NO exchanging Fish Extenders. I don't think anyone would be happy with my "lederhosen FE"
So, should I put you on the list?

Sure. If I'm doing a Disney cruise, I might as well do it all the way.

Dania, thanks for helping out! You are officially my co-host!

OMG...I must be the most horrible co-host. I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to RSVP...lol
I got tied up with work and Alex's activities. The boys (as in DH & DS) started camping with the Boy Scouts...and instead of DH learning one of the lessons BS teaches...like being self sufficient and learning about his own gear...he sends me his "man scout" list...lol...

Karin...we hope you and Tom are doing well!!! Cant wait to see you again!

Hi Dania!

First off, I am sure you are a PERFECT co-host!
I love the fact that the "boys" include you in their Boy Scouts adventures and even if it is only to do their shopping!

Tom and I are doing very well. We both came down with a nasty cold shortly after returning from our cruise, but we are fine again.

Counting down frantically to our next Disney trips - 23 days until DLRP!

Can't wait to sail with you again! Tell Alex and Dimitrios we said hello!

 

[dizneeat]

.. to all our DISfriends!

Just wanted to pop in and remind you that we will soon be under 300 days until our cruise!

I feel like I will need all 300 days to know everything I need to know to make this a successful trip! We've been to WDW so many times that I don't have to plan much anymore....everyone knows the itinerary for each park and we just do it. None of us have ever cruised, though, and I feel a little intimidated by it. I am afraid of making a huge faux pas somehow, or missing out on things because I didn't know about them.

If I have learned one thing from our cruises, then it is that you cannot plan too much.
I am a very busy planner when it comes to our Disney trips. Not that we stick to those plans, but it is nice to have them. So before we went on our first ever cruise I tried to gather information and plan everything in detail. Well, there were too many things I could not plan and I worried about them, but to be honest, nowadays, we just go with the flow and enjoy.
The only things planned are our visits to Remy and Palo and everything else will fall into place. It is the most relaxed way to vacation.

I hope that everyone is doing well! We are less than 9 months until we set sail . I hope to spend some time this summer working on our Fish Extender gifts

Hi!
Less than 9 months sounds VERY good to me!
We already have most of our FE gifts for that cruise .... yip, I know I am early, but I LOVE making them.
I promise we will take good care of the DREAM when we cruise on her in August.

Hi All!
We have just booked this cruise-- and it wasn't easy! We sailed on the Dream in April and this cruise was already sold out (except for a couple of concierge rooms!). After a few weeks of checking a room came available! Yay!
We did a 3 night on the Dream and loved it, my daughter (18 months at the time) had so much fun dancing to all the music and waving to all the characters!
We are looking forward to that extra day though!
We loved the FE exchange last time and would love to join again....
We are in Room 7078. There will be me (Kim), my DH (Sean), my DD (Audrey- 2 years) and my Mom (Barb).
Can't wait to be back!
