As a first-time cruise I have a few questions for those more experienced cruisers:
1. Kids as young as 8 can sign themselves in and out of the Oceaneers Lab/Club. This seems young to me with the ship as big as it is. Has anyone let their kids sign in and out?
2. Is Palo a good dinner night out?
3. Does anyone do pin trading on the ship?
4. What savings do you get if you sign up for another cruise while on board?
5. How far in advance can you book another cruise?[/QUOTE
1. My son was 8 on our last cruise and he was not allowed to sign himself out. He will be almost 9 on this one and the same will apply!
2. This is a definate must for us! However, you must enjoy really good food and relaxed and attentive service. Believe it or not, I have read negative reviews because the food was too good and exotic for some!I say enjoy, and if you can make it happen don't miss brunch either!
3. Yes, we always bring our pins to trade with the attendants at the entrance to the restaurants and at special pin trading times;some even with the ship officers! The times for these events will be in the "Navigator you get each night - usually they have been around 7pm.

You should post asking those participating in the FE to PM you. Or you can look at the cruiser list on our cruise website, note the user names of those who indicated they'd like to participate, then PM them.
Hello Every1!
We just switched over from the April 13th Eastern 7 night to this cruise. Can't wait to be on the new ship!
Just a little info about us; Family of 5, me, DH, DD (9), DD (7) and DS (5). We hail from a town right outside of Pittsburgh, PA. This will be our 4th Disney cruise. Last year we did a 7 night Western and are hooked on taking longer cruises! Last year was also our first time participating in the FE and it was really fun. We would like to do it again. Please let me know if its too late to sign up as I know we are less then 4 months out.
Hope to get to know every1 a little more. Also it would be great to set up a meet or a few meets. Last year we didnt get to really meet any of the DISers.
Also any1 have travel plans solidified yet? We are planning on flying or taking the auto train in the day before and then leave a few days after.
Now Im going back to reading the rest of this thread!!
Welcome, and thanks for signing up on the cruiser list on our website!
Also, thank you for posting a "Meet" on the site. If you would like to add or change the details, just let me (taswira) know and I'll do that for you, as I am the only one who can edit the site.
A meet & greet is a great idea, but you MIGHT have difficulty if it's on a "day at sea after breakfast." The first day at sea after guests dine at Animator's Palate, they will have their Character Breakfast. Some have it early, others late. Still others may be having Palo Brunch, which starts as early as 10. It could be difficult to choose an after breakfast meet time that will work for a lot of people on a day at sea.
Done!
lol
The only set-in-stone barrier would be those with late Palo Brunch. You will definitely need to set actual times for the meets and not "after" something, since everyone has different schedules.

But as you mentioned previously, perhaps multiple meets on different days and times? It does seem that after the first day, many people get wrapped up in their own agendas and forget about meet-ups. A most common meet-up day and time has been 3 p.m. on embarkation day, but I guess for the Dream a lot of people might head for the AquaDuck!
For me, sea days are the busiest - - character dining, brunch, high tea, CC reception, etc.
That sounds like an excellent idea!>>There is just no way of making it work for everyone at one time, but the set times at the same place really made it easy if we were available. Just another option that may help out.
Now was is the Fantasy equivalent of the Promenade lounge? Welcome!
On our last cruise we had a meet set for every day (after embarkation day) at 4:00 in the promenade lounge and whoever could make it could get together. There is just no way of making it work for everyone at one time, but the set times at the same place really made it easy if we were available. Just another option that may help out.
