Nov. 4th, 2012 Dream cruise meet thread!

[JohnPA]

It turned out to be incredible. It was so filling that I think I skipped dinner!

You can see my enthusiastic post here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2145451&highlight=i+made+a+monte+cristo

Ok, my mouth is watering looking at the pic. We're meeting today with our travel buddies (my wife's brother and his family) for planning out the menu for our upcoming OKW trip. I think I'll suggest this! Thanks.

Need to make a change to the spreadsheet! We are in the process of booking today and upgraded so that we could pick the room. Just didn't want to risk GTY with it being our first cruise. I know I would be disappointed with certain rooms, so we have a stateroom number now! And we moved decks too - cabin 8572.

OK, got you updated.

We need to remove ourselves from Fish Extenders. We had some things come up and need to cancel this cruise.

Thanks!

 

[JohnPA]

Maybe our theme can be something simple like ("A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" or " A Dream Come True")

Only thing I can come up with...

Dreaming, Disney Style?

I like that one! I had another idea: What about "Dreaming of Disney"?

I like the name. Got me thinking . . . "Day Dream Cruising" or "Day Dream Cruise"

Anybody want to vote on a 'theme' or 'cruise name'?

 

[hurleysweety]

How about:

Drifting Away on the Dream
OR
Dreamin' in Paradise
OR
Delightful Dreams with Disney
OR
Delirious Disney Dreamin'

But I do like "Dreaming of Disney" too

Oh, and once we decide - I can do a graphic for us too (if you want)!

Bummer! OK, taking care of it. Hope you get to book again real soon.

EDIT: I think I had you under a different name (wife's?)

Our group must be having a busy week! Been a little silent on our little thread. It's gotta be the newbie excitement that has me thinking about our cruise non-stop! Can't wait until next Tuesday when my 75 window opens up. Pretty sure a lot of things are booked, etc. But still excited!

Anyone else started/or have booked excursions, Remy/Palo, or anything else?

 

[cherylp3]

I tried Palo brunch but it wasn't available.

Bummer - although I expected that since its only available on our day at sea, right?

We aren't planning on booking anything. DH wants to do a trip to the spa but all the spa treatments are too expensive. We're planning on doing whatever Lou has planned for the WDW Radio people.

Out of curiosity, have you done a WDW radio cruise before? I've seen them for various disney forum websites, where people go as a big group. What kind of things are planned? Might want to make it a point to do it on our next cruise (yes, I have already started to think about another one!). We're big fans of WDWtoday, but still not sure how well we'd "fit in" with a big group sort of deal - whether on land or at sea. But sure sounds like fun!

We didn't do the last WDW Radio cruise but I have friends who did. Right now Lou isn't telling everything he has planned as there are always surprises. The last cruise had things like a trivia game night, a door decorating contest, a scavenger hunt, they roasted Lou on the first night (which he had no idea about!)

They've released a partial itinerary for now (again there will be surprises) which you can see here if you want to get an idea of what would be going on:

Of course we're most excited about seeing Richard Sherman, it's hard to pass up the opportunity to see a Disney legend like him perform and tell stories of working with Walt.

Oh cool! Looks like you will have a lot of extra fun to look forward to on the cruise. And that's great that you already have friends who have been and can give you an idea of what to expect. Trivia night sounds challenging!

So the name Lou Mongello definitely sparked some memory of mine and after a bit of "googling" I discovered it was because of the podcast that I've been listening to for the past four years - WDWtoday. Looks like they have a friendly rivalry going on - but actually they are all pretty good friends. Small world! I've never been a part of any of their events or met any of them, but maybe someday! Are you planning on doing a TR about it?

Is anyone else planning on doing a TR of our cruise? Would be a fun way to see how we all experience it!

Rachel, Where in Indiana do you live? We are from Fishers Indiana and I was wondering if you are going to the Indy Disney meet on the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend>?

I will be doing a TR. I always do one..It's a way to get me to edit my pictures and relive all the fun. I post a ton of pictures and it takes me quite awhile to get done though.

 

[disneygal6568]

I actually blog for WDW Radio so my TR will not be posted here and instead it will be posted on WDWRadio.com. I am a part of the podcast group (of course) but I am a teen, so my TR will differ from everybody elses. I am excited to read yours Jenseib to see what different vacations we have!

Fun! I have yet to finish a TR - well, I think I might have come close on a couple 3-day weekend trips to DLR! I'm really hoping I can push through and get it done this time around! I am so picky about editing photos that I generally give up half way through. But I sure enjoy looking back and reading old TRs!

Awesome! I will have to look for that over on that forum after the cruise. Definitely interested to see how others experience the same exact cruise and will be cool to see it from a different age group too!

I will do a TR but probably not on either of the boards as I have my own blog and find it easier to write up all my stuff in one place. We also have our own Youtube channel where we post all our video we take at WDW (and other stuff).

Hi fellow Hoosier! We're on the southside of Indy. We probably won't be coming as I usually work on Labor Day Weekend.
