June 15 2012 5-night Dream Cruise!

[JulieL0616]

Hello everyone. My family (DH, myself, DD (15 at the time, posted on here as Princess_Kayla) and DSs (6,5,3 on cruise) as well as my mother will be on this cruise too. We are so excited as this is our first cruise EVER (minus my mother, her 1st was a Carnival cruise during spring break so she was scared off of cruising for a while hehe). We haven't taken a vacation in 10 years so I am thrilled. Some friends of ours are going as well with their daughter who will be 9 Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Oh and one quick thing, we have a Cricut expression and were thinking of offering personalized magnets as a FE gift. We have the Everday paper dolls, Paper Doll Dressup and just ordered the 2 Mickey cartridges so we could make dolls for each member of the family (with their likeness) wearing mouseketeer hats or make disney character magnets. Do you think people would like these things for FE gifts?

Thanks so much!
Julie

Just Booked!!

We will be on the Dream for this sailing! This will be our very first cruise of any kind - but knew it had to be Disney!

There are three of us - my DH Kevin, I'm Melissa and DD - Madison... she will be 14 at sailing and just finishing 8th grade and heading to high school - !

Looking forward to getting to know you guys pre-sailing - and being part of the FE - although I read that there are Seahorses on the Dream!

Hi! We'll be joining you on this cruise: My husband and I (both retired), my DD and son-in-law (both 35 right now),our DGS who will be 12 (and turning 13 two days after we disembark) and our DGD who will be 16. We might also have my daughter's father-in-law joining us which would give a group of 7. We all took a 5 day Wonder cruise last June (2010), and it was great to have all of us together. I think this will be the 11th DCL cruise (our Dream cruise) that Sam (my DH) and I will be taking. The two of us are also doing a Magic cruise in October of this year. Most of the cruises have been just the two of us, and we are comfortable cruising solo -- much better going with the kids and grandkids, tho. We look forward to meeting all of you in 2012!

Welcome everyone! And yes Julie - the personalized Disney dolls are a great FE (or SE if the Seahorse thing is true) gift idea

Hi everyone My DH and I will be on the Dream in June. We will be celebrating our 40th anniversary and hopefully our grandsons 10th birthday (A deposit has been made for son and family, but they are not sure they are going) It would be their first cruise and I can't think of a better choice for first cruise. We are also going with another family.. Hope to meet some of you then. Denise Can't wait

 

[JulieL0616]

Just so everyone can see what I'm talking about, here are links to the handbooks that show the different option. You can mix and match clothes, hair, accessories, etc. I have a feeling a family picture would be easiest for us to make them look like each of you

You can view them online or right click and select "Save Target as" and save them to your computer to look.
Everyday Paper Dolls

Paper Doll Dress Up

Mickey and Friends

If you know you will want one, you can PM me with either descriptions and ages or a picture. To keep from having to buy too many different types of cardstock, I will probably keep the outfits to prince/princess, pirate, summer clothes or swimwear. If you really want something special you see, PM me and I will do my best to try to make it happen, especially if you are a bride or a birthday or something special There is even a cap and gown for those graduations mentioned above My idea is to put the dolls or characters on a big Mickey head outline and put "Disney Dream" and the date on the bottom. I am definately open to suggestions As soon as the Mickey cartridges arrive, I'll make one for our family and post a picture so everyone can see and make suggestions for changes.

Sorry this is so long

We just booked our cruise last night and are so excited! DH and I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary (we also went on a non-dis cruise for our honeymoon). DS(6) and DD(7) have never cruised before. DD will also be turning 8 while we are on the cruise! We would love to participate in the FE also!

 

[Quimby]

We are booked for our 2nd Disney Cruise!!! We got back a few weeks ago from the Mexico DCL trip and loved it!

I am trying to learn as much as I can about Nassau (Atlantis options) and Cataway Cay and Orlando.

It will me, DH, DS12, DS10, cabin 6A GTY

We will be traveling from the Los Angeles area and have never been to Florida...let alone east of Colorado

We plan to spend some time in Orlando area...looking at hopefully Epcot, Kennedy Space Center, ??, maybe a water park if we don't do Atlantis.
We are thinking of skipping Disney World since we are 2 hours from Disneyland here.
Any suggestion are appreciated....

We're booked!!!!! We are using DVC points for this cruise. This is our second DisneyCruise, our first was on Disney Wonder (Mexican Reviera on 02/13/11). FE was so much fun and would love to participate on this one, too.
We're thinking about staying at WDW resorts before and after the cruise. Anyone else thinking about doing this?

This will be our 2nd Disney cruise. Our first was aboard the Wonder in 2004. It will be me, DH, DD (5) and DD (3). It will be the girls' first cruise!

We will be celebrating DD's 3rd birthday, my 35th birthday and our 7th wedding anniversary on this cruise!

I'm so excited and look forward to getting to know all of you before we cruise.

1st cruise

dh - mr. social
me - very quiet with social anxiety
ds13 - shy like mom but we're working on it
ds10 - full of energy and finds friend everywhere
dd7 - typical social girly girl

planning on atlantis excursion (not my choice due to the cost, but the kids are set on it after atlantis commercials all last summer, and since you can see it from the ship, guess I can't just not tell them!)

will probably arrive 2 days early to do kennedy space center

 

[RavenRob]

Hi,

RavenRob here.

This will be our third Disney Cruise. Wonder Land and Sea in 2005. Magic Western in 2006. Now Dream for 5 days in 2012.

Me, DW(44), DD(13), and DS(10).

We will be celebrating my DD's graduation from Middle School and my 45th birthday which will be on Day 3.

Usually don't book a cruise this far out but I really got the bug to go again.

Also hoping to stay at Bay Lake Tower (AKL DVC Member) post cruise for three days to meet DB and his family to celebrate niece's HS graduation.

Looking forward to staying in touch with all and hearing all planning activities.
