You need more posts in order to post a picture. (Not sure how many, maybe someone else does.) Then you have to post a picture on an internet photo site (photobucket is one) then put the link in your post.

Just back from a 10 hour day at Disneyland. My mother in law was visiting from Colorado and wanted to take the kids - but my youngest daughter was coming of a 3 day fever so she and my son stayed back with DH so I was lucky to just have my 7 & 8 year olds with DMIL. So nice to be stroller free at the park! And must say makes me VERY excited for the cruise. The girls were so excited to see the princesses and other characters and I can't wait to see how excited they are for a whole week of Disney!

Going through photos and then to bed - busy week.

Perhaps time for a massage?
Brunch at Palo?
A wine tasting?
A cooking workshop?
Tea with Alice?
A getaway to the Quiet Cove pool?

[jen-n-greg]

Just want to check if we are included in the FE? I signed up awhile ago, but want to make sure Thanks

 

[DisneyCrunch]

The closer it gets the more I can't wait

Hey, is breakfast a sit down table service affair (seated at your table with your server etc) or only buffet or fast style? Lunch?

You can do breakfast and lunch either way. There are sit down opportunities, buffet opportunities and grab and go as well. Whatever you choose.

 

[DisneyMommaSteph]

Jeff....are there specific seating times for breakfast according to dinner seating (main, late etc.) Did that make sense?? lol...Or are there just certain bfast hours at the sit down restaurants? I only see people talking about the bfast buffet, and quick service...never sit down bfast/lunch....

I can't believe we're in the final "weeks" countdown!!! AAAAAAAHHHH! I could burst with excitement!

I tried to change our cabins today (because when we booked the DCL CM told me that we were "close to each other"...when really we were on opposite sides of the boat...*doh*) so that we would be closer to my sister and her family...The online reservation system has a tab that says you can change your stateroom and that shows you which ones are available in your category. Fine. So Jen and I both go online and we plan to switch to two cabins right next door to each other. We chose them, and press save. Then Jen notices that the her stateroom reverts back to the original number next time she logs in. Mine switches one down from the original one.

UGH. I had originally planned to do it on the phone because Jen was leary of the online system. I was confident it would work online. I guess I was wrong....hehe...

I called (I tried earlier and it was busy, then an hr wait--I didn't realize everyone was calling to book the Dream)...and she said she couldn't see the two staterooms that were showing available next to each other and that the best she could do would be 3 rooms down. Fine. I book that. Sadly, the "new" room she gave me has a connecting room....but someone is already in it. Who would want a connecting room if they aren't going with anyone??? There are plenty of Cat. 8's available...can't they move that person...?? Anywho--we're closer to each other now...and I guess I'll just keep checking back to see if the other rooms becomes available....
