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

[dvc4life]

HI I JUST WANTED TO SAY WE HAVE DONE THE LAST 5 MEMBER CRUISES. THIS ONE WAS THE BEST FOR MAKING SO MANY CRAZY FRIENDS INCLUDING SUE FROM NJ. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I MET SUE IN PERSON BUT I PROBABLY SAW HER AT HER COFFEE CLUB FROM PAST CRUISES BUT DIDNT KNOW HER I WAS SOOOOO DEDICATED TO HER SUNRISE COFFEE CLUB I GOT UP AT 545am AND CRAWLED TO THE COFFEE MACHINE!!!!! THANK YOU SUE FOR A GREAT TIME!!!!!

Hey Ian! So good to hear from you. Isn't Sue just great! We had such a fun time when we cruised with her too. And I can't wait to cruise her again come March 2012!

Glad you had a good time on this year's cruise. Are you thinking about going on next years?

Web page update!

I've added in the deck plans for those cruisers who have given us their room number. Now when you look on the gallery you can click on a cabin number and it will take you to the deck page for that page. Our room numbers have been made bigger and are lime green outlined in black. So you can see who has a room near you.

Once we made a decision on where and when to have the DIS meet and sunrise club I can add maps in for those decks as well.

I'm still missing room numbers and pictures from some cruisers so if you want to be included please send them to me.

Thanks!

Nice job, Mary. Thank you!

Dianne - sounds like a fun time in St. Louis today. Hope you have fun if you go to the taste of St. Louis.

And please show us your t-shirts. That would be fun to do with the family.

I think I will get some group shots and then show you when we get back

YES WE ARE AS LONG AS WE GET THRU ON CALL IN. DVC DOESNT MAKE THE CRUISE SPECIAL ITS THE PEOPLE WHO CRUISE THAT MAKE IT SPECIAL AND DCL. THE GREAT JOB THEY DO ON THE SHIP. LAURA AND I GOT TO MEET BILL FARMER AND HIS WIFE AGAIN. THEY REMEMBERED ME FROM LAST YEAR I BOOK A CRUISE FOR US AND MY SON AND HIS STEP KIDS WHILE ON THE CRUISE FOR NEXT DEC. BUT THAT MIGHT CHANGE IF I CAN GET THEM ON THE MEMBER CRUISE.

Hello everyone. Hope you are having a good day so far.

We arrived home on Saturday afternoon.

We shared a limo with Lisa and her kids...Kyle and Lauren...you should have seen the kids faces when they found out they were going to the port in the limo...priceless!!!!!!

We had the best time. The Disney Dream....is huge...beautiful and amazing. The crew was fantastic...very helpful and always a smile on their faces!!!! We were deck 10 mid ship with a veranda. Loved the rooms. When you enter your cabin, you stick your room card into the slot and it turns on the lights and tv in your cabin. When you leave the room, take the key out and everything turns off. Like that.

Monday, we spent most of the day at Serenity Bay...enjoyed the BBQ, riding bikes and enjoying the water. Went back to the ship and went on the AquaDuck ...what fun. Later in the afternoon...we did the parasailing with Lisa and Kyle, Sue, Dustin and Sue's brother (sorry I forgot his name). This was me before parasailing---> and this was me after---> I can't wait to do it again...so much fun. Oh and by the way....thanks Sue and family and Lisa and family for having them dunk us twice....

Ducky Williams was onboard...we went to his talk...which is always great. Love him. We also went to his drawing class. He taught us how to draw Baloo. Although mine looks more like a fat lion than a bear...it was so much fun.

Bill Farmer was there, the producers of Prep and Landing were there, Joey Fatone and Kermit the Frog and Tim O'Day. He interviewed the producers of Prep and Landing, Kermit the Frog. The best part of the Prep and Landing ...the deck was decorated for Christmas...including snow...what fun. Tim O'Day then interviewed the producers. Later on they showed the next Prep and Landing Christmas show which will air in December. They passed out gingerbread cookies which were soooooooo gooooood!!!! Hot chocolate too.

This was our last members cruise...at least for now. DVC in our opinion didn't do a good job this year. DVC was celebrating their anniversary and it was also the first members cruise on the Dream. Remember when everyone went to the beach on Castaway Cay for the photo...not this year. I think the worst part was...DVC sales people were all stationed on the one side of the Atrium (facing the stairway, to the right) and when there was entertainment...all the sales people were standing in the walkway...making you walk through them. Some were very nice...others were quite rude.

Our table mates at dinner...we not very nice. Michael and I arrived at the table and they never even stopped talking...like we weren't there. I looked at Michael and said....AWKWARD ...no problem. Ran into Lisa the next day...she had issues with her table mates...we told her we had issues with ours too. That night we went to the Head Waiter...Fitz (he is fantastic )...he put a table together for us. Lisa, Kyle and Lauren were our table mates...great company!!!!! Enjoyed every minute of it.

The people we met from the Facebook members cruise...were all very nice. We had a meet and greet at D Lounge...we had a large turn out. We didn't let the DVC part get us down. We had a blast!!!!

Now, we look forward to our reunion cruise. Can't wait.

Flo....you guys will love the Dream. You just have to do the AquaDuck. It is so much fun. You're getting closer

I will be posting some pictures soon. Have a great day everyone...take care.

Look forward to seeing some pictures, Monika.

Monika - thanks for the report on the cruise. Sounds like you are now feeling what we did a few years ago. No group photo? That was one of the things I liked best about the Member Cruise.

So happy to hear you were able to work out dining so you could enjoy your dinners.

Parasailing sounds like it was a blast!

Can't wait to see your pictures!

HI MONIKA REMEMBER ME.I AGREE TOTALLY DVC DOESNT MAKE THE CRUISE SPECIAL THE CRUISERS DO AND DCL. WE HAVE HAD THE SAME TABLEMATES FOR 5 YEARS. WE GET ALONG SOOOOOOOOOO WELL. WERNT WE RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR TABLE? I CAN TELL YOU A SPECIAL STORY ABOUT BILL FARMER AND HIS WIFE. THEY REMEMBERED ME FROM LAST YEARTHEY DID SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR ME. YOUR RIGHT ABOUT THE DIS GROUP, THAT WAS SPECIAL. MEETING AT D LOUNGE AT 3PM WHERE WALLY HANDED OUT THE T SHIRTS. SO I HOPE DVC ISNT PATTING THEIR BACKS FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL CRUISE. MOST OF THE GOOD MEMORIES WERE MADE BY THE CRUISERS. IM SORRY TO HERE ABOUT YOUR TABLE MATES.

Hi Monika!

Thanks I am hoping we love the dream. Just to get away is going to be great.

Glad you found great Table mates!

Good Evening all,, had to stop going to the indoor pool to excercise, they changed the water from Cholrine to Bromide I think I spelled that right, Its making my friend and others get rashes, some people or on meds, so we have decided not to renew or membership and have started walking and boy am I sore so I am taking tomorrow off and I am scheduled to walk again on Wenesday. They say they are going to change the water again sometime in the next year or two to salt water.

 

[djstweety]

Hi, is anyone out there!!!

 

[djstweety]

Hey did I tell you they opened a Disney Store in St Louis, DH and I went Sunday, Its was nice, and I made me feel like I was transported for a bit

 

[djstweety]

Its getting exciting here, watching baseball tied 4 to 4 in the 9th

 

[djstweety]

I just got a text message from my DD, she is making all the girls all hairbows, with minnie mouse in the middle of them, They will look adorable for the Oct trip

 

[djstweety]

[djstweety]

What is your favorite counter service dinning at the world?

 

[djstweety]

I am feeling really lonely right about now, Cardinals playing ball on TV, DH sleeping, me chating and no one there to talk too.
