[mkmommy]

I am a not sure I can wait for March seeing the Dream in PC makes this trip seem more exciting the normal, it looks so beautiful.

Last night I had a dream that I was on the Dream, and I realized that I had no memory on my SD card for my camera. So, my husband and I was running around the ship franticaly looking to buy a card. However, we could not find a sd card nowhere on the ship. ...Then I woke up!!! I will defiantly be making a trip to Target today.

I had a dream last night that Mickey and Minnie went to the girls school to tell them about this cruise, I guess I must really want to tell them .

mkmommy - When do you plan on telling your girls? I'm dying to tell the family here! I think they a feeling it's a cruise on DCL (I can't help but get excited when I see all those darn commercials that have been coming on everywhere!). I figure I need to do it sometime between mid-Jan to mid-Feb, in case DH's work has a change of heart, etc and then also it gives the kids a chance to help me plan (and get excited with me)!

Dream arrived in Port Canaveral this morning! Wish I could have been there!

We have not cruised Disney before, but on Celebrity there is a machine that will download your SD card and burn a CD for you. Before they had the free-standing machine, the service was offered in the computer lab. (I think it was about $10 for the download and the CD.)

I thought this was a very good price. It also would come in handy on the cruise.

Yes, we are THAT family...just ordered our family cruise T-shirt on zazzle...we all wear the same shirt on Sunday only....

some reason I don't see that my PM went through for the FE spreadsheet...column B we are a "no" and I blanked on the fact that we have a Birthday before the cruise so the DD will be 10 not 9...no allergies. Thanks!

Hello everyone!

Just got out of holiday mode and into cruise mode, so we're now just now checking in.

We are a family of four from the Toronto area. Looking forward to the new ship and lots of fun!

We've been on four cruises before but it's been over a year since our last.

I was originally thinking when we land in Tampa, but we are flying from Buffalo which means border crossing into the US and I always seem to get the customs officer that asks the kids questions so I may tell them in Feb sometime.

I am pretty sure the girls are expecting a cruise. My husband stays home and always does some renovation project and last night he mentioned starting on the basement and the girls wanted to know when as they were hoping he would say spring break.

Welcome gmark2000. I've noticed lots of your fellow Canadians on this thread. Looking forward to a great cruise!

Thanks. Just spent the last hour reading the whole cruise thread.

I was just interested in a magnet exchange but I see that hasn't been organized, or has it?

Palo's been booked up from the start (Platinum and Gold CC members clearly). Having just four previous cruises doesn't help in this regard. Gold status will help when we go on the Fantasy next year.

gmark2000 - Welcome aboard! LOVE your avatar....my DS is a huge fan of Steamboat Willie, shaking his backside while he's driving the boat

Unfortunately, a "magnet only" exchange has not been organized. However, we are having the FE gift exchange, if you would like to sign up for that. I'm fairly certain you would get some magnets from other folks as FE gifts though If you are interested in that, please PM me with the info to fillout the spreadsheet list (see posts #120 on pg 8 and #240 on pg 16).

Thanks! Can't believe it's less than 10 wks

New to cruises and Disney Cruise line. We've done several Disney World vacations. We are traveling as a group but in three separate state rooms. My granddaughter, her parents, her "other" grandparents, and us. Granddaughter has us ready for the FE although I don't know if we are on the list yet.

Check the link on posts #120 (pg 8) or #240 (pg 16) to see if you are already on the list. If not, you can PM the info to me, but only if you have 10 posts or more! You can also email me @ txsoccermom5@yahoo.com with the info.

Thanks!

no we didn't sign you up...ask your grandkid about ideas for the gifts she went crazy in the craft store...and I'll email you the info on the woman we are ordering the FE itself from...

Unfortunately, a "magnet only" exchange has not been organized.

That's too bad. I've enjoyed decorating my door with the help of cruise mates in the past.

FYI - Mardi Gras and Lunar new year both fell on this sail date.

Welcome mkatheryn220 and howdy. You'll find a lot of info here!

I am still learning my way around the site and tried to quote a post from txsoccermom. Don't think I did it right but again - I would love to participate in a magnet only exchange if someone organizes one. Obviously I don't know enough to do it but would love to be part of one.

Hope this link works. It is a wonderful interactivwe map of Castaway Cay from Disney Cruise Line's Facebook post. It also has videos.

It works! I really enjoyed the videos.
