I would get, after booking a Disney cruise! :o For the 2nd time I woke panicking because (in my dream) I was too late to get tickets to for the meet and greets with the princesses. :scared:
We are cruising on the Magic in October for 7 days.
Please tell me I have a decent chance of getting those tickets for my little princess, and also possibly seeing Tangled?!?!
 
I don't think you will have a problem. We just got off the Magic one week ago, my 6 year old daughter wasn't interested in the princess meet and greet but in our cruise FB group I don't know of anyone who didn't get tix that wanted them. You don't get tix for the shows, you just get in line. We had early dining seating 5:45pm, and we got in line at 8:05 for the 8:30 Tangled show and had no problem getting a seat we liked for our group of 7. This was a full cruise over Spring Break too. No nightmares for you:)

So funny! Mine were more more along the lines of the ship sinking.....

Good luck getting the tickets you want!
 

This is so funny! The Princesses also roam the ship from time to time (I stalk Cinderella every time!!). You are going to have a great time and regardless of whether you get tickets or not, you will really not want for anything, there is so much to do.
 
LOL good, I'm not the only one that's had nightmares. Mine are usually missing the plane to get to Florida or missing the ship once at a port (getting back on after doing an excursion LOL).
 
I dreamed just the other night that I missed the sail away party and realized I forgot to get lunch at Cabanas after boarding :sad2:
 
My nightmares involve my luggage not making it onto the ship, and just missing the ship and having to swim to catch up with it!
 
I haven't even BOOKED our cruise yet, and we plan on going in 2 months! Talk about cutting it close, I don't even know if meet and greet tickets will be available for me.

I'm glad to hear this!

Haha! Priorities, right?!

I'm pretty sure you get in line to get them as soon as you get on the ship. If I'm wrong, then I'm really in trouble. :oops:

Princess meet and greet tickets aren't available until you get on the ship so when you book doesn't matter. There are plenty. They had at least two meet and greets on our 7 night cruise. Some people in our group even got theirs on the second day. If it's this important to you though I would just head straight there once you board the ship and you should have no problem.
 
Yeah, you shouldn't worry so much about your tickets for the princess meet and greets. On one of my recent cruises one of my friends who did get tickets forgot about their appointment time but she went to guest services and gave her a new meeting date/time.
 
We just came back from the 5 night Wonder out of Miami. I got married on that cruise!

The day before embarking, I have a nightmare that I couldn't reach the ship in the port. All the tenders were full. When I finally got to the ship after taking a hotdog ferry(a tender costing $1 for people who liked to eat hotdogs), it was the size of a greyhound bus and there was tons of water leaking into the back. I kept apologizing to everyone who travelled with us that "this wasn't how it was supposed to be".
 
My fear of the nightmares...

I am afraid that I am going to love cruising so much that I gonna want to do it more than my savings is going to like.

:eek:

I already love cruising and I've never even been yet! August can't get here quick enough.

You should also fear PCD

Post cruise depression. It's real and the cure is expensive.

I think it's a post Disney anything. I was sad having to leave Aulani and can't wait to go back. I also never want to go home from Disneyland... despite having APs and being able to go any time we want!

The only time I had a nightmare was on our 3rd cruise in October. I'm one of those people that gets too excited to sleep the night before. Kept waking up throughout the night. Then I finally slept and dreamed that on our drive to the port I had the family and I visit a convention. All of a sudden we were over 3 hours late leaving and may miss the ship. We rushed and on the way I woke up thinking "That was NOT cool!!!"

We had no trouble getting princess meet and greet tickets on embarkation day.

My recent nightmare is waiting for DCL to finally release the next set of dates. I had been really hoping it would be this week. Better be next week or I'll pull my hair out from anticipation! :crazy2::scared:
 
Not 100% positive but my understanding is the tickets are more for crowd control then anything else. I was told by a CM on the Dream that they do it to limit waits for the passengers and that they don't limit number of passengers who get tickets. Basically everyone who wants a ticket would get one.
