I am all checked in as well. We got the Excursion we wanted. I wish they had the tastings to book though....I didn't see anything for the adult beverage tastings. I'll have to check when we get onboard. Otherwise we are good to go!!

Jaime....what excursions did you end up booking??? What PAT did you get??

Congratulations!!! It's such an exciting feeling!!! I read somewhere on here that you could only book the adult beverage tastings onboard & that they tend to book up rather quickly.

Our PAT time is 11:00. We booked the dolphin swim at the Blue Lagoon, the Catamaran snorkel adventure at CC, & the jet ski tour at CC. We are water lovers. How about you...what did you book?

 

[RGLakatos]

We booked the Sea Lion Encounter at Blue Lagoon....I might go back and book something for Castaway Cay....we like to just play on the water and sands though. I did book a Bamboo Massage for myself though.

I wonder if we can just sign the kids up for the tween club at the terminal....I didn't see anything about it online.

I might also go back and sign up for the stingray excursion....I know the one excursion my daughter had her heart set on was the Sea Lion Encounter.

What time did you get for your dolphin excursion??? We also got a PAT of 11AM!!!

I'm jealous of your massage!!! I'm hoping to book a mother/daughter something (not sure what yet) at the spa once onboard. I did read on here that we can sign the kids up at the terminal.

My daughter also wants to do the Sea Lion Encounter, but DCL won't let you book them both at the same time, although they do offer a combo on their website. I'm thinking of calling them directly to inquire about doing so.

Our dolphin swim is at 9:30. That's cool that we got the same PAT!!! I'm hoping our girls will hit it off so they can have some friend time while on vacation as well!!!

 

[RGLakatos]

I am sure our daughters will hit it off and become good friends on the trip. My daughter is very mature for her age....half the time I have no clue she's in the house as she either reads or simply entertains herself on the computer.

I think we're all going to have a great time!!!

It sounds like they are very much alike! My daughter is very quiet and laid back. She is very easy to get along with. I'm sure they'll be fast friends!!!

I agree...we're all going to have a blast!!!

I hope you are all sleeping peacefully now that you are all checked in!

We also checked in and got the 11am PAT. Are you driving to the cruise terminal or getting a transfer?

We got the Palo Brunch that I was hoping for. Haven't booked any excursions yet.... maybe the Jetskis they sound like a lot of fun!!

Congrats on booking Palo!!! It looks amazing!!! I hope you have a wonderful time!!! Since we aren't flying into Orlando International or staying on Disney property the night before, we are driving to the terminal. What are your travel plans? I'm assuming you'll have a pretty long flight!!! Hope it's a safe one!!!

I live about an hour from Port Canaveral....just being dropped off by family.

This should be a fantastic and relaxing vacation!!!!

Safe travels to everyone when the time comes!!!

Actually we will have already been in the USA for about 1.5weeks by the time of our cruise. We are flying into Orlando from New York. Then we are getting a hire car and driving to the cruise terminal the next day as it is going to be cheaper than transfers.

After the cruise we are doing a Southern America Road Trip.

Still think the Disney Cruise might end up being the best part

It Looks like this FE group is going to be very small. I made 47 bags with my magnets in each bag. Looks like everyone will receive more than one bag and CM's will be receiving some gifts too!!!

Hello, all! We just recently discovered this thread and thought we'd toss our proverbial hat in the ring.
Sleepy - third cruise for me
Luvvwl - second cruise for her
We are getting married at our WDW home, the Wilderness Lodge, on 5 July then using the cruise as our honeymoon. The first time we cruised together was September, 2011, and we had a blast.

On our cruise, we did the wine tasting (good but a little dull), the champagne tasting (fun, especially if you enjoy bubbly), and the mixology tasting. We loved the mixology since each couple gets the chance to mix a drink under the tutelage of master bartender. We had a hoot! As for excursions, the only one we did was parasailing which was a great choice. We snorkeled in the lagoon, and I ran the 5K race, both on CC. We do have later dining seating, though one of those nights we're doing Remy.

Just to get the show rolling, I'm including a picture of us from our dinner at Artist Point the night before we drove over to catch the Dream for our first cruise. I might later post a few pics from the cruise if anyone is interested.

That's it about us for now. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Welcome to all the new Dream FE group members! We are getting so excited for the cruise. I have started to look at new clothes. (The husband and I have dropped a few pounds and I want to wear some nice dresses ) I would like to post a picture of our family from our cruise last year, but I don't know how.

Also, Jaime, thank you for keeping us updated on the number of people in our FE group. I hope you can/will continue to do that up until closer to sailing day!

I'm not techno wizard, but I have found what works for me is to open a Photobucket account (or similar online album), then once you have uploaded pictures, you can select the picture you want to post. You'll have a few options to the right that say "Links to share this photo." Click in the box on the one for IMG, and it will say "copied." You are now ready to go. To post on this thread, merely paste it where you want. That's exactly what I did for this photo:


Hope this hint helps!
P.S. Our room was three floors above and slightly to the left of the last lifeboat on the left. Our room this year, I believe, will be similarly located. Luv knows for sure.
