Hi everyone,

We received our cruise documents yesterday. So they should be arriving soon in a mailbox near you.

Cruise is getting closer everyday.

Hi Jeff,

As requested here are our family's favorite characters:

My dh likes Stitch
I like Lilo
My 12 year old DD likes Tink
My 10 year old son likes Jack Sparrow or Jedi Mickey
My 6 year old loves Rapunzel, but if she is too current her second favorite princess is Ariel. She also loves Minnie

We should try to plan a time for our 12 year olds to meet up in the tween space!

Faith, I'm so excited you got your cruise documents. I'll be on the look out!

 

[MrShiny]

Great! We just got our Magical Express docs for our pre-cruise stay. No cruise documents yet.

Yes, the 12 year olds will have to meet up in their club. Drop a note in our FE!

Anyone doing any excursions or Palo/Remy?

 

[azmommie]

Haven't recieved anything in the mail about our cruise or the magic express...
Had the kids called by the characters this week about our cruise..they loved it!
We are scheduled for Remy's on the frist night....
Going to dinner with the kids to meet our table mates then to Remys for a birthday celebration dinner for my DH.

No excursions....planned.
What's everyone else plans?

***Ford Family...we will have to introduce our son's so they can play together! Mines 8...he could use a friend on the cruise.

We are doing the High Tea at Palo and dinner at Remy on our sea day. For Nassau, I reserved a room at Comfort Suites Paradise Island so we can use the facilities at Atlantis. Our youngest is doing the Stingray Adventure at Castaway Cay and I think I might try a waverunner...

 

[MrShiny]

Cruise documents came yesterday! So much less bulky than on our previous cruises in '01 and '06!

Believe we are all set, not just need to countdown the days for the next month!

My youngest daughter and I will be the bleary eyed ones as we leave port as she has to see Harry Potter at midnight...

 

[MrShiny]

OK, so I'm looking for Harry Potter tickets around Vero Beach the night before the cruise (we are staying there that night). They aren't on sale yet, but this is:

Do you LOVE Harry Potter?

REALLY LOVE Harry Potter?

For all of you super-devoted Potter-heads, see ALL SEVEN of the Harry Potter movies in one 24-HOUR MEGA-MARATHON, starting at 3am on Thursday, July 14th, with intermissions between films and an hour long lunch break after Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire. All, of course, leading into the Midnight Premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 - not included.

OK - that's a bit too much!

Mr. Shiny, you guys are a trip! We love Harry Potter, but the marathon takes a bit more time than we could invest. Hope you enjoy it, though.

If you have kids under the age of 10 please PM with their names for the the gifts I'm making the kids. I would like to personalize them....Only a little over a month I can't wait!!!
Thanks,
Kerri

Our son Julian is 7. In three short weeks we will be cruising on the Disney Dream. Can't wait!

Hi Kerri,

Thanks,
Cindy

Hi Cindy,

Hi Jodi,

My husband, Matt, and I are classic Mickey and Minnie fans. My son Kyle says his favorite is Lightning McQueen and my daughter Katie's is Tinkerbell. We'll definitely have to get the girls together. Can't believe we are less than 3 weeks away now!

Oh, it's a bit much for me too! Oh course my youngest would do it - but 24 hours straight would wipe me out! (and probably her too!)

But I do have 2 seats at the Vero Beach theatre for the midnight show on Thursday - so my youngest and I will be the really tired looking ones boarding he Dream!

 

[MrShiny]

Well, I hope everyone is well into their FE planning! We are staying at AKV and VB before the cruise, so we leave a week from Saturday! Now this time I hope they delay the shuttle launch so maybe we'll see it!

We were actually on our last Disney Cruise the day of a scheduled lauch in 2006 - which was scrubbed about 30 seconds before liftoff. Maybe they will dely this one a week and we'll get to see it - the cruise ship makes a perfect viewing platform!

 

[Yensidfan]

Only two weeks til we are sailing on the Disney Dream. Hope everyone is getting prepared and we are looking forward to the FE and possibility of meeting others.

 

[azmommie]

Im almost done...YEA...so whats next? Packing for Disneyworld...YES!!! It's our 1st Trip and I expect it to be very busy and very hot.
Any tips for us that might make our trip to DW a bit easier??
I know after four days of walking around the parks I will be ready to head to the DREAM for some R&R.
Can't wait to meet some of you on the boat!

 

[MrShiny]

Well, tour the parks early and late! Go at opening for an hour or two, then go back after dinner until closing. Rest and swim in between!

It will rain too, but try not to let that stop you unless it's really bad!

Are you staying onsite?

 

[azmommie]

Yes we are staying at the Boardwalk....
As of right now we don't have park hoppers if we were to take advantage of the early hours and extended park hours at night it would help to change the tickets...
I'm calling in the morning to see if I can still do that..
What waterpark would be best for a 4 and 8 year old??
We go have season passes to Wet and Wild here at home...my 4 year old does almost all of the slides...
Thanks Mr Shiny for the hints...any others??

Our actual Fish Extender and a portion of our gifts were sent nearly a month ago, but with the Canadian Postal strike have been backlogged and beginning to think they may not arrive in time. Will have to make do, but fingers crossed that the stuff we ordered arrives in time.
So looking forward to next Friday!!!!!!
