Nov 29, 2012 Dream to the Bahamas

[chateau]

We are so excited that the Dream will be decorated for Christmas. Never been on any of the Disney ships at this time of year. It should be absolutely beautiful!

We are too! I saw some pictures of preparation on the Disney site (who knows where as I fly around everywhere... all things Disney) and they looked superb! They took designs from the ship, made ornaments out of them and used these on the tree.

I looking at possible joining this cruise but have not booked yet. How's the FE group going and are you planning any meet and greets?

No meet and greets planned yet, FE is being done by Carol and has nearly 10 families, I believe. It's been slow going.

So my middle child got up this morning and started researching the Magic cruises. I have a feeling as long as this 3 day cruise goes well, I will be cruising a lot more often.

Know one thing that I LOVE about Castaway membership- our kids build up their levels while WE pay the tab!! By the time they cruise with their own kids, Platinum will be commonplace!

Build up those cruises now, before they change to plans other cruiselines use... a formula using DAYS cruised as opposed to number of times cruised. Can we say "GRANDFATHERED IN"!!!

Hello Disney cruisers!!!
Just wanted to mention we need a group name. Any takers? Last time on the Dream we came up with "once upon a dream". Hoping to make cute home made gifts for everyone with group name.
Also there is still time to join the FE list. At this time we have 7 families. Please email me at cmbreault@cox.net if you would like to be added to the list. It's a ton of fun for kids and adults....who wouldn't want a surprise waiting for them everynight?

Hello everyone! We just booked this cruise today! Kids are very excited! We sailed last year on the Dream during November. It was perfect not too crowded and great weather. We would like to join in on the FE exchange.

Knopsnyder Family:
Tom 42

Lucas 10
Ava 6
Email is bettis407@epix.net (Steeler Fans)
I will get you our cabin number.

Thanks for starting the FE. Our kids loved coming back and seeing what surprises were in store for them. Last year the cruise was a surprise so they didn't get to help me with the FE gifts but this year they are ready to help out.

Hi Everyone,
I decided to get things rolling with th FE list. I've actually started one so here's what I need from you:
Family name
Cabin number
Child(ren) name and age
Adult name (age is optional).
Your email addressI started an excel document so everyone can read it clearly.
Please email me with your infomation at cmbreault@cox.net. If you do not have an email address please let me know.

I was thinking that I would close out the group in September to give everyone a month to prepare the goodies. Also if you are unable to attend the cruise in Nov. for any reason please notify me so I can let late comers in on the fun.

So let's get stated.....I will have all the updated info ready to be emailed out in SEPT. If there are any revisions needed I will send you out a new copy.

You can also contact me on FB under the DIsney Dream Nov. 29th cruise

Hope you all join soon!

My little girl Samantha is 8 as well. Good to know she will be able to meet another girl her age. Mine is a little shy with adults, but she is pretty outgoing with kids.

Alot of the conceirge rooms are still open...I wonder if anyone is going to try to upgrade. They cut the price by 25% then I pulled the trigger and booked 2 weeks ago.

It's not really that bad.

Wow is this coming up quickly! I'm looking forward to sharing this journey with my fellow DISers!

 

[Tangelders Ahoy]

Have any of you veteran DCL ppl done any of the packages in the Spa before? I'm tossed up if we should do it or not. If you have, what did you have done? Was it worth it? Did you like it? What about your hubby/wife? Did you do it with them? The more info the better!! Help me decide!! What about the Ultimate package? That is the 1 that you cannot book until you are on the ship...have you done it?? Help!!!
