[jazzykirl]

Seriously? That might have been us! We were on the Dream from June 21-26..

There was another group of cruisers on there as well from the "Motley Cruise!"

I was a part of the Motley Cruise There is another member of the Motley Cruise on the June 15th sailing of the Dream It's "a small world">

Welcome to the group you podcasters! Will look for you over on FB!

 

[Maverick Mike]

It really is a small world after all!! That is too funny!! It always looked,like your group was having a blast!!

We are doing another podcast cruise with already over 100 listeners in July, 2013, but our family couldn't miss the Dream this summer! We are so excited to get back on!

It will be fun to see the Dream at a slower pace this summer. We had lots of events scheduled around the ship (scavenger hunts, Meet & Greets, a live podcast in Evolution, etc.) so this summer, we are just chilling!!!!

I hope to get to meet you all onboard!! . Can't wait to be back on the Dream!

I noticed that you are from St. Louis. We have the time in the summer to drive so we do and will be taking a route through your city on the way down...

Really? We are both teachers, so we drive to Florida as well. We are leaving on June 3, as we are staying at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort for 10 nights before the cruise! We have never stayed there, so I can't wait to check out this place!

How long of a drive is it for you? It's about 15 hours from here!

We are both teachers too! It's close to 20 hours so we plan to spend the night in Nashville on June 12th, then drive on to Wilderness Lodge before the cruise for two days.
The bulk of our trip is after the cruise when we spend four nights at Vero Beach resort then head back up to Disney and stay at Jambo three nights, then move over to Beach Club until we head for home on the 6th of July.

So now my burning question is, what do your wife and you teach?

Too cool! My wife teaches 4th grade, and I teach Gifted Education for Grades 4-6 across out district. For 7 years, we taught next door to each other, both teaching 6th grade!

Sounds like you are going to have an epic vacation!

What do you all teach?

My husband teaches math k-5 in a support role for kids that struggle. I teach 2nd grade. We were in FL for three weeks last summer including our cruise time and it was fun! Every other trip we make down we have to fly because of time constraints so we do enjoy the drive in the summer. It's an extra bonus to have our car there and not pay for a rental like we do during our school year trips!

 

[Maverick Mike]

Cool! We will definitely have to say Hi on the Dream!!

Lst summer, we did a 3 week vacation as well. We were at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort for 9 days, then cruised on the Dream with about 150 listeners of our Disney Podcast, and then went on the Freedom of the Seas for 7 nights after the Dream!! It was an incredible trip!! I loved every minute of it!!

Oh - and it would help a lot if you include your DisBoards name if you message me on FB so I can tie it to your real name!!!

Howdy folks. My DW and I will be celebrating 10 years together on this cruise. Our two boys (7&9) will be joined by my mom in a separate cabin. Would love to get in on the FE action. We have been making and finding magnets for the cabin doors and packing some in room surprises for the guys already!

Hi! We're sailing on the June 15th cruise! We are so excited!

We are first time cruisers so we can't book excursions until April 1st. I'm really worried that the blue lagoon dolphin encounter is going to be sold out by then. It's the one thing my daughters are looking forward to the most. Has anyone started booking yet? Is it full yet? I will be on the computer at exactly midnight April 1st to try to get it. Thanks!

 

[chrissypatl]

We are so excited about the cruise. All this information and the links you posted are going to be so helpful. Thanks for the great information sharing.

Sent a FB request. Look forward to reading more about all the fun there.
