I had to share...

See you all in a few days!

Ha! Saw this cutie in a midship elevator while we were rushing to get to our cabin to get ready for the show!

Thank you for the gifts everyone!!!! It was a blast to be a part of this...it was so fun to sneak around and drop the gifts off. Hope all your"wishes" came true!!!

We had so much fun doing the fish extenders with this group -- thanks to everyone for all the great gifts and to the group organizer and spreadsheet creator ! Our granddaughters loved checking back at the room to see what was in their pockets. We took two days to give out our gifts as we did the Midship Detective Agency game. This cruise was truely a dream-come-true. We have always had a verandah cabin on deck 9 or 10 but were glad to have an inside on deck 2 - my daughter has a real problem with seasickness and was fine being on a low deck and midship (the patch helped too) and our granddaugthers loved the virtual porthole (we did too !). Even a low category cabin had plenty of room - love Disney cruises ! Debbie

Too bad someone on this criuse decided to STEAL my FE on debark day.

We've been wondering if some of you couldn't find us. We were Forward in 8001; a nice secluded part of the ship where people don't normally pass by to steal stuff.....but we only got about 10 FE gifts. : (

Hope you all enjoyed ours!

Aww that's too bad, I didn't participate in the FE but that stinks too!

This was my first cruise and we rebooked we had a great time! Wondered what everyone's favorite thing was on the cruise? I have to say mine was Castaway Cay and Cabanas. Also loved milk and cookies every night on the veranda with the kids

Everything about this cruise was wonderful - we've enjoyed our past cruises but nothing compares to having our granddaughters along. The 7 year old loves to dance so the character dance party was great for her. Her 5 year old sister loves princesses so having time with each princess in the atrium was perfect for her. Everyone loved Castaway Cay - we just hated to leave ! It was all perfect and so much fun..........Debbie

We are planning our first ever Disney cruise for next January (1/5/14) and are curious to know how the weather was and whether or not your kids/grandkids were able to do much swimming on the ship and at CC or if it was too chilly? Our DD (age 12 at cruise time) is really hoping for time on the Aqua Duck and swimming at CC. Hoping we can make that wish come true. Granted it's all up to Mother Nature ....

 

[cmclaura]

We almost always cruise in January and, out of 11 visits to CC, we've only had bad weather twice.

This past year, the weather was warm and wonderful (as it usually is) and the sailing was the smoothest ever.

So, I think your chances are pretty good!

The pools are heated, but there is no real swimming, the Aquaduck is also heated. There were a few people in the water at CC, but it was way to cold for me to get in.

We've only done a Bahamas cruise in January once. For this cruise the weather was beautiful. The temperature on C.C was in the high 70's, I think it reached 79 at one point. The sea was a little cool, but not freezing. As for the pools they're heated, but with the number of kid's in there it's mostly playing, didn't see much swimming. We've been to Orlando and Bahamas several times in January and the temperature can vary tremendously, fortunately the max high I've experience is around 82 F.

Castway Cay:
Weather was hot! No wind.
Water was just not too cold.
Perfection, on my opinion

Kid's pool at Dream
Too crowded for anything unless standing quiet by the border hoping not to be hit, too hot also.

 

[Andreia]

Happy Easter to us dreamers! Where are you cruising next?

Does anyone have a copy of the Navigator from Jan 7 2013. That was the only day I somehow missed-placed and I really would like to have one from everyday of our cruise. If anyone has an extra copy I would gladly pay the postage if you were willing to send me one. I figure it's worth a shot. Thanks guys.
