November 13-17, 2011 Dream Cruise

[mmouse37]

I was looking over my Dream pics from January and found some I took of the area around the Vista Cafe so you can have a visual. I apologize if anyone has already posted pics....I have not read the whole thread.



AT THE END OF THIS HALL (DECK 4 MIDSHIP) IS THE VISTA CAFE. IN THE FOREGROUND ON THE LEFT SIDE ARE THE REBOOKING DESK AND THE DVC DESK.



LOOKING OVER THE RAILING BY THE REBOOKING DESKS DOWN TO THE ATRIUM.



SNACK CASE AT THE VISTA CAFE



VIEW FROM THE VISTA CAFE SEATING DOWN TOWARDS THE REBOOKING DESKS...AT THE END OF THIS HALL ON THE RIGHT.



COUNTER WHERE YOU ORDER YOUR BEVERAGES AT THE VISTA CAFE



VIEW ACROSS THE ATRIUM TO SHUTTERS PHOTO AREA



DECK 3 ATRIUM....YOU BOARD THE SHIP FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THIS PHOTO. GUEST SERVICES WOULD BE RIGHT BEHIND WHERE I AM TAKING THE PHOTO. THIS IS RIGHT UNDER THE REBOOKING DESKS. ROYAL PALACE DINING ROOM IS AT THE FAR END OF THE PIC.

Thanks MJ for the tips on the VGT.

OMG, the ship is gorgeous! Thanks for the pics, I haven't seen any of these. Incredible to see it without all of the people in your pics.

Makes the the wait even harder, but glad it's so close after seeing this.

thanks again!!

Those pictures are unbelievable !!! I am so excited !!

Pictures are so amazing! I can not wait! We leave for WDW in 14 days! I am so excited! First time to Florida! Grew up in San Diego, so I am a DisneyLAND expert, but a DisneyWORLD newbie! I am getting overwhelmed trying to think of packing, etc. We also have a REALLY busy week and weekend the week before we leave, so I pretty much have 7 days to get it all done and I am starting to shut down with anxiety and excitement!!!

Anyone have advice or tips????

Kari.

Just wanted to drop by and say HI and welcome to all the "new" cruisers.
I've been in planning stage for months now, even though this is our 5th Disney cruise, 2nd on the Dream. Today, for the first time for this trip, I got that feeling of really being excited.
I'm looking forward to stopping by the Vista Cafe on boarding day to meet all of you.
I'm pretty much all packed, for me at least, DH will do his own packing. DGS (4yo) & I made a "count down" chain over the weekend (thanks for the idea), so he has an idea of how long it is till our trip, he can't wait to go on "Mickey's boat". My daughter calls me daily with some tidbit of information she found or to ask something about the ship, so I guess she's getting excited also. This will be her first cruise on the Dream.
mmouse37 - those are great pictures of the Vista Cafe, it is a lovely, usually quiet spot for a meet, or even to spend a few quiet moments out of the way.

REMINDER

Please send me a PM with your e-mail address if you would like the "Donald Duck" file to print out the photo/slogan for our cruise meet. You can use it to make a button, badge, patch, etc. and wear it on embarkation day. It's a great way for cruise meet members to recognize each other.

Thanks for the great pictures. I can't wait!

Should I be calling DCL because I have not got any travel docs yet? I did book thru a TA.

 

[candeeapril]

I would call your TA maybe they have them. We received our a couple weeks ago.

Hi All!
I just want to apologize ahead of time for my not
very creative FE gifts. I have had some health issues
which have prevented me from going all out on the gifts
I have gifts for the kids but I don't have much for
the adults but I will work on that if I am up to it.
Thanks in advance for your understanding.

All that matters to your fellow cruise meet members is that you are healthy AND able to join us on the cruise.
