Dreams Unlimited Travel gift basket just arrived!

[LA Poolboy]

This is our first Disney cruise and we booked through Dreams Unlimited Travel. We love their shows and internet content so much we feel like we personally know them (but, of course, we don't actually). We used Dreams for the first time back in the spring of 2021 and it worked great! So we just received our cruise gift basket from Dreams Unlimited Travel and it is FANTASTIC! So many useful items included. Getting very excited for our January cruise on the Dream!

The list includes a multi-color highlighter, dry erase board, glow sticks, travel watch, deck of cards, reusable cups/mugs, room key sleeve for phone, magnetic clips, a Magic Candle Company air freshener, and flashlight all in a nice bag that doubles as the basket when folded. I'm not sure that each gift basket is the same but that's what we got and it is great!

How far in advance of your cruise did the gift basket arrive? We are 33 days out right now.

 

[LA Poolboy]

About 30 days. We leave out on January 17th and the basket arrived here yesterday.

We can’t bring/use the cups right now because of Covid and The highlighters were for the navigator which we don’t get any longer either is that correct? And so leave them home right?

Can you not get the drinks from the CMs at the stations (or use the cups there) and dump them into your own cup? I've not seen that they are not allowing that...and you were technically ALWAYS supposed to use fresh cups at the stations.

Oh, thanks for the reminder. Since we've already gotten one, I wonder if I can ask them not send one to us for an upcoming cruise.

I believe we can find a use for every item and we are very grateful to Dreams Unlimited Travel for the gifts and the thought. Above and beyond!

We asked for (and got!) paper menus at every dinner. The kids actually used the highlighter to mark what each of us ordered

They filled our water bottles and cups at the drink stations. They fill a disposable cup with ice and then transfer it to your container. The same for liquids. Currently, it appears you can fill your own containers.

I too am thankful. Just concerned about the airline baggage limit and especially space available in my suitcase I could use for shoes then for something that I might not be able to use during Covid that just sits in the cabin. Think I’m going to leave them home though and get the drink of the day glass if that’s still a thing.

Just found out that gift baskets won’t be mailed to Canada or our hotel in Orlando. Only option is to pick them up at the Dreams Unlimited Welcome Centre which is one mile from the port. We are taking DCL ground transfer to the pier. Trying to decide if it’s worth taking a cab or walking to pick up 5 baskets for my family.
My TA says she would have delivered if she lived in Orlando which was very kind.
What do you think I should do?

They need to update the website because it says they will mail to Canada.

I would pick them up at the welcome centre, easy enough.

We live in Nova Scotia and have received a gift basket mailed to our home for every cruise booked through DU.

 

[Cruising Engineer]

Are they still arriving about 30 days ahead of the cruise?

This must be a recent change. Their website says they still mail to Canada.

as far as I remember we received one in 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. We haven't cruised since Feb 2020.

We just finished our trip on the Disney Magic but didn't get a basket. We booked less than 30 days out so I'm guessing that's why?
