March 22, 2012 Dream SSMC Reunion AKA "It's all Gary's Fault" Cruise

[dvc4life]

Slightly off topic (but with this group what is really off topic) - has anyone here ever stayed at Port Orleans Riverside?

We had some reservation points that needed to be used so we're booked for 4 nights in March to see Flower and Garden. Since Port Orleans is one of the few WDW resorts we've never stayed at we thought we'd give it a try.

Mary - we have stayed at French Quarter before but not Riverside. From the pictures I've seen it looks very peaceful and relaxing. Let us know how your stay goes.

Hello Fellow Cruisers!!!!

Count me in!!!


Deck 8​

Party Deck for sure!!!!!

Sounds like a Deck 8 Block Party is in the works!!!

LOVING THAT IDEA!!

Mary-We did book one, they look pretty cool. Feel free to check it out while we are there.

Dave - how sweet to have an open house while we are on board. Will drinks and snacks be served? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Thanks everyone!! Looking forward to all the planning over the next 17 months!

Mary- We will probably fly down Wed afternoon, stay at the Radisson at the Port and have dinner at Millikens Reef.

Sounds like a good plan, I was toying with arriving the day before and staying near port or or verno beach before the cruise. It would take too long to drive from St. Louis, Just don't want to drive that long. and Michael will most likley have limited vacation time.

Mary, I would love to see updates from you...please!

I am so happy everyone is coming together for this cruise, it will be so much fun!

I go to work, visit with Mom for dinner and come home, and find I need to read four pages ...WOW.


Looks like I am the only one on Deck 6 room 6070, right next to the elevators midship,,,Love it.

Main dining
9 pm show.

Good morning everyone! Happy Tuesday!

Well my nice long weekend is over. Back to work I go. We are also supposed to be slammed by a big storm this morning. Hope it isn't as bad as they are predicting. Chris did you guys get it too? Hope all is ok.

Good Morning Fellow Cruisers!

Chris- No problem, I was thinking a Sunrise Club meet up before beverages and see who can run faster as Tanya throws anything not bolted down!! And being the nice guy that I am, I volunteer your room for the football games and pizza on Sunday!!

Okay, so we are talking the March cruise right? Chris I am not sure what football games Dave is going to be watching in March so I think you might be safe.

Ditto this one!!!

 

[Time4disneynow]

It is 64 degrees right now...going to be a beautiful day. The high 74 degrees. Take care and have a great day.

Lisa-VERY GOOD POINT How about a Nascar Race? Dog Sled Races? Snowball making Contest? How about just a good excuse to have Pizza and Beer? Wait we won't need an excuse....Just Go For It!!! Party in Chris and Bob's room!!

Riverside is our most favorite resort even over the deluxe hotels. The grounds are beautiful. They have won many awards for the grounds of Riverside. I love to take the boat and go by the treehouses...it is very tranquil. I do not like the bayou...no elevators, but love the mansions. Bayou is great for kids, as they have a trundle bed. I like the food court too.
It is just a pretty resort. Hope you like it.

Sounds good to me! I'm not sure where Mary and Mark's room is located on Deck 8 but it looks like several of us are forward -port side. I think I got that right.

We're more mid to aft and I think on the starboard side. One of my goals is to do deck plans like we did before showing where everyone's rooms are.

This new web software has got me a bit confused but I want to do something new to the website (using frames) so please be patient. I know you all will be.

Oh, no worries Mary! I know it will be great.

 

[OKWMEMBER]

I second that! More than half way to the second swan/pirate already!

 

[danandnan]

We are booked! Just got off the phone. We'll be on deck 8.

Sue - yes we book through a TA. I'll send you some info on facebook. Not sure if there are any perks or discounts but they do a great job.

HI Mary,Gary and Gang

Well we just arrived home yesterday from our 7 day Western on the Magic with Joanne and Roger Leisha and Tom and Kathy and Frank. We all had a great time.
As of now Nancy and I and Joanne and Roger and Leisha and Tom are booked on the August 2011 Cruise to Alaska. We will have to see what happens. I would love it . As you know we are geeting use to those seven day cruises HA HA. I hope you have let the rest of the old gang know.
I think it would be fun.

 

[twinmom108]

We're booked. Haven't been on amy member cruises yet but I see a couple of folks that DH & I'll be traveling with to Alaska in 2011.

We are:

Sharon & Allen & our youngest son, Jameson (who will be newly 18 Yrs.) will be on deck 6, starboard aft.

I had booked a B2B for October 2011 but canceled that because Jameson wanted to wait till he was 18 to sail. He's looking forward to Palo Brunch & Serenity Bay as am I.
