November 3rd: 4 night Disney Dream - Who is joing us?

[kelbel5355]

Hi Everyone. I started an FE list in facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/125579664292934/

Please let me know if you would like to be added to the list. For now it is in Facebook. If you do not have a FB account, you can PM me your email address and so I can keep you updated with the list.

So far we have a tentative cutoff date of Sept 1st.

Hi there! I sent you a PM with our stateroom number. We're on the port side of the ship, not too far back from your location on the starboard side. Wish we could return to WDW for another few nights, but DH's pass has expired and we don't want to purchase another one right now.

I saw an ad for the ParknCruise for $5.99, and when we drove by it last August it looked pretty secure and the parking lot was just about full. They have a free shuttle, too. It's at exit 52, across the river and about 6 miles closer to the port than the one you're using. Both places get good reviews so we'll probably spend the extra $1 per day and try them. Just about any place is cheaper, though less convenient, than parking at the port. We're not in a hurry so don't mind waiting 5-10 minutes for our ride to show up, and we won't have to lug suitcases across the street and into the parking garage.

We've requested Turtle Pond area at OKW. We like the pool there and it's not as congested as the Hospitality House area. We just hop on any park bus that comes by if we want to go to HH. Maybe we'll run into you at OKW so we'll recognize a familiar face onboard the ship.

We did choose ParkNCruise, so thank you. Maybe we will see you at OKW or and Parking site. We plan to be at ship as soon as allowed. We have always been early enough to board by #2-3. We decided to change up plans and head to Vera Beach post cruise for a few days. Never stayed there so we are looking forward to extending beach days. Taking a break from parks this year. We went twice last year.

Hi everyone! We are booked on the Dream Nov. 3rd for our first ever cruise. Sailing on my birthday with my husband and Granddaughter Jade. She will be 9 at the time so hope to meet some kids her age. Would like to do the FE thing too. We love everything Disney and are counting the days to this new experience. Look forward to meeting some of you!

I know the feeling. We've been on this cruise before, but I'm excited because we're traveling with another family. It's their first time and I can't wait to see their little girls face. She'll be 6. My son is 8 he's loves the disney cruises.

Hi Kelly and Jennwelt. Welcome to the group. My names Kelly. I'm handling the fish extender list. If you're interested and you have Facebook, we have a Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/125579664292934/

I post the updated fish extender lists there. However if you do not have Facebook please feel free to email me, kelbel5355 at hotmail, or just pm me your info. Every time I update the list I'll email you a copy.

I would need the following info:

Feel free to ask any questions about the FE gift exchange. Also there is loads of info on the FE gift ideas on the boards and in Pinterest.

So glad to see more of you getting excited about this cruise and also some more people interested in joining our FE group! I hate to wish my life away but I can't wait to go on the Dream. This is our first cruise and we hardly think of anything else. Now if I can just find some reasonable air fare so that we can get there!!

Just needed to jump on for a pick-me up, third surgery today in the past six months, 2 being my foot due to a bad tendon tear from stepping on a god loved LEGO!!!! Yes, a Lego. I am praying that I can make this cruise. I'm doing my best budgeting and I optimistic about walking good again. But I may plan to just hit the pool deck for the entire trip, with a Drink of the Day in hand!!! Hope everyone is getting excited.....it's getting closer

Hello everyone my name is Samantha! My fiancee, Sam, and I are excited to join the group. We are getting married October 26th and will be setting sail with y'all to celebrate our honeymoon. ♥ ♥ This will be my third cruise, second with DCL (but it has been a long time). This is a big trip for my fiancee. It's his first cruise, first time leaving the country and first Disney vacation! He's a little nervous lol. We are applying for his passport next week

We just joined the Facebook Group. And we would love to join the FE group as well. We are so, so, so excited! ♥

Hi everyone! Just checking in. I was active in this thread when it first started, but haven't checked in in a while. It's good to see that we've got a lot more added!

My husband, infant daughter and I will be on this cruise. This is my husband and my second cruise and our daughter's first (been planning since before she was born!) I think we've decided not to participate in FE's this year, but would still love to do a meet up on the first day of the cruise or something. Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Do the FE it will be like a cruise baby shower!

LOL! We did the FE Exchange on our last cruise. It was a lot of fun, but also a lot of work. And since we're going to the parks for several days before and a couple of days after, we don't want to take too much room up with FE stuff. Plus, with us both working AND raising a baby, making FE gifts would be really hard. So, I'm thinking we might pass this trip, as much fun as I know it'd be.
