March 18, 2012 Spring Break on the Dream

[Silly Little Pixie]

Hello everyone! We will be cruising with you! DH, DS (9) and myself.

Anyone doing B2B with this one?

Yes indeed! This cruise is the first half of our B2B.

AW, Silly Little Pixie, looks like you are doing the cruise before? We are staying on after the 18th cruise and doing the 22nd. It will be our first also! Thank goodness DS spring break fit it nicely.

We are doing the same b2b as you, 18th and 22nd! This is our second back to back- the first was on the Wonder in 2010. We decided if we were flying from California, 4 nights to explore the Dream was not enough! The kids are staying home so no WDW this trip anyway. I am a teacher so it fit my spring break too. I can't wait!

I extended the FE signup to February 5. I will email the list to those participating on the evening of February 5. I recall last year the last family interested in joining after the cutoff was around February 3rd.
Thanks,
Anoush

I am so glad I saw this. I got on here to send you a note to find out when we would recieve the list! We are headed to Orlando this weekend so I was hoping to have it before then, but we still have plenty of time

We sail in 6 weeks! We are so excited. I keep checking on a Palo brunch to no avail but should have no problem getting a reservation once on board. Does anybody know which days the brunch is offered? We should be getting our cruise documents within the next 2 weeks. Last year for this cruise we received them on 2/14. The newest Disney release will be John Carter so that will be playing on board. I hope The Secret World of Arrietty is playing on board too. We actually caught a move last year between the pirate parties. I am finalizing the FE list this evening as well and will email it to the participants.

How exciting for all of us. Now I'll be on the lookout for them!

Hooray! Love to get travel documents!!!!

39 days!

 

[poohfriend]

We do.

Doing the Document Dance....

 

[GatorandNole]

We got docs yes we do!
We got docs how 'bout you!?
Woo Hoo!

I'm so excited to have documents and to know that we leave in 36 days!

I'm also a little frightened at the thought. 36 days to get a packing list together and get our FE done. If the first part of the year has flown by this fast, I can only imagine that the next month will be even faster.

Anyone else going to be working out while onboard? I've been exercising and have accepted the "12-week Challenge" at our local gym. 9 days will be cruising and at Disney. OH MY! Looking for some accountabillity for working out onboard and limiting my bread and dessert choices. Anyone else?

My goal is to work out while I am on the cruise! I have been working out at home 5 days a week so being on vacation should be no excuse LOL! Maybe we can find a time that works for both of us!

I might have to work out 2x a day to keep from gaining the weight I've worked so hard to loose. I'm sure we'll run into you somewhere.

Oh my!!! I probably need to work out 2 times a day too because I know I will be eating dessert EVERY night LOL!

Hello everyone! My name is Michelle and I will also be on the Dream on the 18th! I just finished my son's 7th birthday party last weekend, so now I will finally let myself get down to some more serious planning! Yeah! I have been on several cruises before I had children, but this will be their first and all of of first times on Disney! I wanted to wait until I thought they would actually use the kids clubs. It seems that all of the kids love them, but I am still worried that they will not stay without myself or my husband. They are barely 7 and 5 (Brady and Jordyn respectively) but have never really been with a babysitter except for our parents. I must admit I would really LOVE a little adult relaxation time, but I am nervous leaving them too. Everyone says they will love it and not want to leave. I hope they are right! Can't wait!

We finally opened out docs...we had to wait until we were all together to open them. I can't wait!!

Michelle, Your kids will LOVE the kid's club. The 1st day you are able to go in and "check it out" with them. I do not believe after that you are allowed in the kid's club. We were not sure how my daughter would react to staying the first time we cruised. Her sister was in the nursery or with us and we had to beg her to come out of the kid's club to spend "family time"! They will be together which I am sure will make it easier for them! My daughter's are 7 & almost 4 so maybe they can play together!
