February 27, 2011 - 4 Night on the Disney Dream!

[Spoonces]

Has anybody gotten their cruise docs yet????

We got ours on Saturday but we are in Orlando so they didn't have to travel too far to get to us. Ready to go

Its not a code you add, you need to book it with that code. Rebook (and dont forget to put carlsonf in the promotional code area of the advanced options) then cancel your other booking.

I tried for Feb 26 and got this:

Hi spoonces! Glad to see you here again. What deck are you on this time?

Uggg. I read that but my brain processed it as Raddison!

Oh well it must be close to the time to sail!

 

[Billinaz]

Lets hope the shuttle launch is delayed a couple days!

I cancelled my rental car reservation to the port and will take DCL transfers to the airport - just in case!

Wooohooo...got our cruise documents today. So excited, this means the cruise is coming closer. Been reading all the comments about the Maiden Voyage and thinking positive thoughts for our cruise. I try not to let any negative opinions sway me as I really want to love this ship.
See you all soon.

Just found this thread today, I have added myself to the final list (we have two cabins) I am so excited to find a FE group. I know I am late in joining though.

 

[luvmyredheadboys]

Do we have a final list yet? Everytime I print it changes so I am waiting for the final call! But I am needing to get everything finished up soon So what final count is everyone using?
Also does everyone put a tag on their gift saying who it is from?
Does anyone know about what time we will get off the boat when returning? We are going from the port to AKL but will also be going to AK that day so we want to get started as soon as possible! Can you request a early time to get off? So sad that I am already talking about getting off and we haven't even gotten on yet!! Usually you have to drag us off

I am going with the most recent list of 25 families listed and going to bring a few extra, just in case. Ours FE gifts have our names on it. We never put our names on them in the past, but I enjoyed seeing what was from who, so I decided to this time round...but not neccessary! If you have early dining, your last day breakfast will be early and you can be off the ship right after breakfast....you can skip your breakfast and just head off the ship as soon as they allow people off to get a head start. I can't tell you what time that is because we always have late seating, so we have the later breakfast = last to get off the ship.

I was on call this weekend so didn't get a whole lot of computer time, so trying to catch up...the shuttle launch could be a problem now????

My co-worker just got off the maiden voyage. She was showing off her Dooney bling and making me think I need to get a new purse while on board!

Hi, I do not have an assigned cabin. I'm not sure how I will be able to participate in the FE Exchange with out it. Any suggestions? Also can anyone direct me to the final list of those participating? I am just beginning to find my way around the forum and feel very dumb about how things are done. Thank you for any help anyone can provide. Janet S. (creative1)

I will post the link again in my next post - I think it is on page 21 . . . We will let everyone know your cabin number when you get it - no big deal.

I will have a "changes" sheet on my door so everyone start with my room on the FE to see if there are any changes if that is ok!

Has anybody gotten their cruise docs yet????

got one of them - still waiting on our cabin - and our March 3 cruise.

I cancelled my rental car reservation to the port and will take DCL transfers to the airport - just in case!

I finally made our reservations for the night before the cruise - it will actually be $85 cheaper for our family of 5 to stay at the Embassy Suites by the airport and take Disney transportation to the port on Sunday instead of renting a rental car (big enough for all 5 plus luggage) and the room at Residence Inn.

Just found this thread today, I have added myself to the final list (we have two cabins) I am so excited to find a FE group. I know I am late in joining though.

I do not see a problem in adding you - we had to take 2 families off because they were on the wrong date and another one dropped out so everyone had planned on 3 more than we are doing.

Good Morning from Sunny Florida,

We received our room assignment yesterday, Room 6682, Cat. 6B. I listed our information on the thread spread sheet. We would love to participate in the room tour, wrist bands, and lanyards. We will pass on the FE and Secret Mickey activities.....

Watching and listening about the Dream in the news and on the Podcast has been great. Starting to get our clothes organized!!!

Finally, we had sunny and warm weather in Northeast Florida this weekend I hate not being able to wear shorts and enjoy the ocean.

Looking forward to meeting everyone,

ScubaMickey

Does this mean you live in St Augustine? I toured it once. The Fort there reminded me of the prison I worked at then.

 

[Spoonces]

Well, I booked a 4 night in a one bedroom suite for February 27, 2011!

I wasn't ready for the additional cost for the Dream! The price is more than $1200.00 of a 4 day on the Wonder in 2010 at the same time!

Ouch?.... Will it be worth it??.. time will tell.

Hi spoonces! Glad to see you here again. What deck are you on this time?

Hey Blossomz!!
We are on deck 7, 7568 to be precise. We have the ENTIRE family along this time, all of my DIL, 3 staterooms worth. Gonna be fun
