Nov 20, 2011 Dream - 3 Nights

[Fivepin]

Hello Fivepin...
I see that you're from Treasure Island...We were in your "neighborhood" yesterday (Ft. DeSoto beach). It may have been a mastake...now I am REALLY anxious to go back to Castaway Cay!!!

That is very close to where I live. I was in that area almost everyday that week. My kids had windsurfing camp at Eckerd's College. What part of Florida are you from?

 

[VET]

Hi!!!
We live in Lakeland...I think that is my favorite beach. Wind surfing camp sounds like a blast!!

Is it too late to join in on the FE fun? We are booked on this cruise and also the one right after (the Thanksgiving cruise). These will be our 9th and 10th Disney cruises but the first time we've done a B2B. Is anyone else doing the Thanksgiving cruise?

Sailing will be myself, my DH, DS (13), DD (11), DD (7) and DS (5). The kids don't know yet that we're doing this trip. We sailed on the Magic for Christmas last year, the Dream in March and the Wonder to Alaska in June so hopefully they'll think we're all "cruised out" and they'll be surprised when we finally tell them about this one! Haven't decided yet when we're going to tell them...maybe on Halloween as that is my youngest DS's birthday! I'm thinking, though, that we won't tell them we're doing a B2B until we actually get on the Dream!

Looking forward to chatting with you all over the next 3 months!

Hi Kim!

Welcome to the party. We will be doing the B2B with the cruise prior, so we will not be with you on-board for Thanksgiving, but we certainly look forward to seeing you on your first 3 days. We should be much more relaxed by then as we plan to do as much as possible on the first 3-day and relax and not feel obligated to make every event on the second!

My 7-yr old daughter will be SO HAPPY to know that there are more girls her age for her to meet and play with! The last time we cruised, we (read her over-protective mother ), wanted her with us all the time. Brenna only went to the club twice! (Once during Palo and the other for dine and play one night). When I told her were would go on another cruise, she asked "Daddy, next time can I play in the club more and go to Scuttle's Cove on Castaway Cay?" She wants to spread her wings!

Brenna's mom will not be joining us this time, so we all expect to have a WONDERful time!

We too are from Texas and can't wait for the Magic to make Galveston home next year. We already have the Halloween Cruise scheduled!


Also, ATTENTION FIRST RESPONDERS:

Both my girlfriend (Jennifer) and I are first responders (LEO) and are interested in Challenge Coin Exchange. Let me know if you have some to trade!

Thanks for the welcome! My kids, especially my younger ones, love the clubs! And if you haven't been on the Dream yet, prepare to be awed at the new Club/Lab! There is so much for the kids to do, and because they're connected, they can go back and forth as they please. We did a 4 day in March, and I know the kids didn't get to spend enough time in there. (We're used to the longer cruises! ) But what time they did spend, they loved it!

Where in Texas are you at? We live halfway between Houston and Galveston, so very close to the Magic's new home! I am so excited to have her here for part of the year. We have spent the most time on the Magic so we consider her our DCL "home"! We are booked for next Thanksgiving, along with a couple of friends. I wish we could do a Halloween cruise (since it's also my youngest's birthday), but there's no way I could take my big kids out of school for that long!

We are in the DFW area, and while it is still a drive for us to get to Galveston, it is WONDERful to save airfare!

I struggled with taking my daughter out of school for the week, but decided she will learn more in the week on-board then she would in school, and we hope to have the weeks work done PRIOR to the cruise. I know during high school and maybe even junior high, this won't be an option.

I booked already. For the first half I got Remy 11/18 at 6:20pm, Palo 11/19 at 6:00pm
For the second half Remy 11/20 at 6:30pm-husband is still unsure if he wants to do it. We did it on the MV. First half I'm doing it with my best friend. Palo 11/21 at 7:00pm. Can't pass up a free Palo meal.
I managed to get a cabana for the first half at serenity bay since the kids won't be there the first half. I had no luck getting one the second half.
Let me know what you're able to get tonight-maybe we'll see each other.

As for joining the FE, you should PM Mnrhannah07. I think we're up to about 21 families and thinking of cutting it off or splitting the group if it reaches 25. Love to include you though!

If anyone out there wants an adult cabana (number 20) let me know. I tried to get a family cabana but was shut out

I'll keep the reservation for a while but will release it soon-hopefully someone here wants it and can grab it whan I release it.

I have Remy on Nov 17 and Palo Nov 19th & Nov 21.

Depending on your time we will see you in Palo both night. We have Remy the next night.

I couldn't get the family one either. I don't need a family one for the leg of Nov 17th, and they have it available. Go figure. The kids join me on this leg of the trip. I don't the adult one for this trip. Have you ever gotten a cabana before? We haven't and was wondering if it was worth the price point.

Just noticed your from the Tampa area. We're practically neighbors!!
