Doesn't the kids club make you want to be a kid just to go there?

I loved how fun it looked and I think an hour of play a day for me would be just fine!

YES, it definitely does!
We were so lucky to be able to explore with the Fishermans! Boy, that kids club is so awesome.

Well he does like swimmimg , but he's never swum in salt water
I think he'll be fine !!The girls will enjoy just laying out on deck and so will Judy !!I am the one who gets restless I don't sit and do nothing well

It will be fun to see his first reaction to swimming in salt water.
You know, Rosie, that was what I was really worried about ..... being bored while on a cruise. Thankfully Disney offers so many things we never have enough time to fit it all in.

I am caught up again... I can't seem to keep caught up. I missed several updates.

As always, your meals look outstanding.

Yay for turning gold on the 3rd cruise. I am in awe.. 3 cruises back to back. That is certainly impressive.

Dismeets are always fun, but to be able to really hang out is even better.


How fun for you also to be able to see the kids area! Looks like a fun place to be.

Thank for still sticking with me, Ann.
I know between training and work and family you have a lot on your mind.

Cruise food is wonderful ..... and there is plenty of it.
We were so happy with our new gold lanyards, and we were so proud of having accomplished to become gold in just 3 summers.

Meeting the Fishermans and spending time with them was absolutely awesome. It gave us a whole new view of the cruise.
And the kids area is just out of this world. I guess a certain Zoe would love it there too!

More great food pictures. And the kids area looks like so much fun.

3 cruises, back to back? All I can say is WOW!

That kids area is a DREAM come true (couldn't help this one ).

Being able to stay on board was so wonderful and then to stay with the same service teams. They were all so nice.

Of course, I am sticking with you! Things are hectic, yes... but I always try and find some dis time here and there... I may fall behind... but eventually I do get caught back up.

I am sure that Zoe would love a cruise too. I think I have decided that once cruises for 2014 open up I will book one for Steve and my anniversary. I just am not sure I will be bringing Zoe. Maybe that is bad? It will be for our 25 year anniversary so I kinda assumed kid free. I guess I have time to think about it...

So good to know I can count on you!

As for the cruise .... if it is your anniversary one than NO one will blame you, if you want to be child free.
And I would LOVE to help you plan! And if you like it, you can always take a family cruise lateron.

I LOVE planning!
Fantasy and Dream itineraries for 2013 came out in October this year and Wonder and Magic came out in the spring, I think it was late March or April. I really hope they will have everything up in the fall of this year ..... the waiting is NO fun.

Isn't the Magic sailing out of Galvaston next May? Which port do you want to sail out of? Port Canaveral?

It certainly looks like she told me the wrong ship !! I am pretty sure it is the Dream, as the dates look right for that one and I think it is out of Port Canaveral , soon as I know I will be on the Meet thread !! I doubt I'll do FE as that would be tough with agroup and 5 cabins !!!!

Rosie, the DREAM is just beautiful, but HUGE!!!!!!!! What kind of stateroom are you going to get? Portholes? Inside? I guess veranda rooms would be a bit dangerous .....

You really should join the meet thread, it is so fun to share the excitement before the cruise and you feel like you have lots of friends on board.
FE are the ultimate fun, BUT I do see a point that it would be tough with your 5 cabins.

Day 16, August 28

The Fishermans conquer the DREAM - Part 3

So we went to the Oceaneers Club and were welcomed in and able to check out all the fun rooms and games they offered.
We spent quite some time checking out TinkerBell’s section, Nemo’s playland, Andy’s room, the Monster’s Inc. play area

and we even had a look into the restrooms

and tried the hand washer.

We spent quite a bit of time in there and before we knew it, it was time to go to our staterooms as they were now open.
Jeff and Lily had invited us to check out their stateroom with them and that is what we did. We walked to their deck and checked out their stateroom. After our visit there we headed back to our stateroom, put up the decorations again and chilled for a while on the veranda.
In the early afternoon we wanted to go to Jeff’s first DISmeet, but I got the location wrong and instead of the meet we just chilled in the Vista Café with a nice

Frozen Cappuccino, 1/3 Espresso, blended with Vanilla Ice-cream and a regular Cafe Mocha, 1/3 Espresso and Chocolate, 2/3 Steamed Milk and Whipped Cream. They also offered some sweets and Tom got us a plate with

two Chocolate Chip Cookies, a Chocolate Strawberry, an Eclair and a Pineapple Tart. We took our time and enjoyed the goodies and when we were finished we walked back to our stateroom.

We skipped the Sailaway party and just chilled on the veranda.
Finally it was time to leave Port Canaveral again and we watched the ropes being pulled in and the ship finally moving again.

We stood on the veranda, waved to the people who were watching the ship sail out and were looking forward to pass Jetty Park, because we were anxious to see of the police car was there again.

Once we reached the area, we could actually see the police car and the Policeman was already standing there waiting.

When we were right opposite him, he started his siren again and Captain Henry answered with a few fun horn signals. This time we were prepared and Tom recorded it with his camera.

Soon enough we were out on the open sea again

and since we wanted to skip the show anyway we took our Fish Extender gifts and started handing them out. This time it was not so easy as some of our fellow cruisers had not made it on board, some had upgraded to another stateroom and some we just had not heard of again.
Since there were no Fish Extenders hanging on some staterooms we were left with quite a few gifts. When we finally got back to our stateroom we found another gift.


To be continued ..........

I was wondering why I didn't see you at the DISMeet Sailaway Party....now I know why. We saw the dolphins too. We were with Debbie and she wanted to the see the dolphins so badly but left to go do something right before we saw them.

 

[KatMark]

Love the Oceaneers Club -- so cool with Andy's play stuff. And love that fountain.

I made chocolate chip cookies last night, but those on the ship look so much better than mine.

 

[annmarieda]

I love the frozen coffee drinks. Sadly, I mostly go to Starbucks to get my coffee and they do not offer drinks like that. Ice cream and coffee are perfect together.

 

[jenseib]

Wow...some people didn't make it on the cruise...did you find out why?

Love the dolphin pictures.

 

[englishrose47]

Do you have to pay for the Frozen caps and cookies ?? They look delish!!!
