October 2 & 6, 2011 B2B Dream Cruising

[BigRed1]

nahhhh. I'll have to get me SIL to chime in. I'm sure that she will get a kick out of the current topic. Did I mention that we are going with a group of 26

Get your SIL on! The more the merrier!! We have had as many as 75 people on our fall cruises. I'm not sure how many people are booked from here, but My BIL is a TA. I have heard him mention as many as 90 people possibly coming on this cruise from our area. I know several of them have been on the dis boards before. When I get a real handle on who all is coming, I'll try to get them on the thread. Could get interesting!!

OK, it worked, here I am. I'm telling you this "job thing" cuts into my disboards time. Big Red, if you guys are doing speedos this time, please forworn us what deck location you will be on so I can take myself and my three DD's to another part of the ship! Speedos are just WRONG.
I think our group is now up to 29, but it's more like an "extended group" because not everyone knows everyone, but everyone knows someone. Does that make sense? I think I'm going to start looking into magnent designs before this cruise creeps up on us. I just got off the Wonders two day cruise to nowhere with my 11yo dd and realized while packing that I had no magnets to take! We used some old ones from our last cruise, it just wasnt the same.

Fear not!! There shall be NO Speedos on me!! Mal Hombre talks a good game but he's harmless!! I have a magnet I make for every cruise but we need a cruise name first. Are we using the "B2B Dream Cruising" or are we going to come up with something else? I also have several POC theme artwork for magnets if anyone is interested.

It is official we are on this b2b cruise! Woohoo! Now it seems like forever before we set sail, but it'll be here before long.

Have a 5B cabin and waiting for some room reports to post before making a decision to move. We are in an obstructed view verandah, so that has me thinking time to call DCL and make a change sooner than later.

Aboard!! Haven't been on the Dream yet, we have stayed in Navigator's Verandah's on the Magic & Wonder several times and loved it.

Been in a white wall verandah on the Magic and standard verandah on the Wonder through the Panama Canal. Now we are going full circle and taking a tour of the dream! Has yet to be verified if the verandah we have is obstructed or not, but I don't want one if it is.

Glad to be aboard. You will find me on the aquaduck most of the cruise.

Woo Hoo!!! We finally made it to page 4!! Maybe it won't take us 6 weeks to get through this page!!!

Okay just looked at the calendar. So many things to do before summer gets here and the time flies by. Room booked, Rental car reserved, magnets started, cruise paid off, well not yet on that one, but soon.....

We really do need a name!

Welcome firstcruise! How many are traveling with you? Any kids? I'm hoping some teens will be doing this b2b, my 17dd is worried about having to make friends all over again. My 11yo dd will have her best friend with her on both cruises and my 7yo dd will have her "best cousin" on both.

 

[BigRed1]

Only 32 weeks to go!!!!​

There is just the two of us, no kids. I'm sure there will be other kids on the cruise though, so she shouldn't worry. First time we will be cruising in October, but have done a mid Sept cruise and we had very good weather.

Does 8 months sound better than 32 weeks? Either way, we are booked and ready to cruise the new ship!

Either one sounds better than 222 days!!

It is 222 days, 8 hours, 37 minutes, 0 seconds,
until Sunday, October 2, 2011 at 5:00:00 PM (Orlando time)​

agreed. I like the 8 months or 32 week or is it 31.5 now?

 

[dismom73]

My ticker says 7 months 1 week and 3 days, which means we are almost in the 6 months range, which means time is flying by! I looked at my paperwork and we booked Feb 8th, 2009, so we have come a long way!

Wow! That is a long time ago! I don't think I could book that far out the amount of time would seem way to long. But, it goes by quick doesn't it? The longest we've been booked ahead of time was 1 year when I took my first cruise and it went by super fast.

Here's to 7 months 1 week and 2 days until we set sail!

 

[dismom73]

Our first couple of Disney cruises we booked less than two months out because we were getting the airline employee discount and it was just us. Then we decided to start dragging my brother and his family and I knew we would need to book way out so we could get cabins close to eachother and make payments, so here we are now booking over a year and a half out. The first 6 months went really slow, but it's starting to speed up and it'll be here before we know it!

We booked this cruise 2 years out. It was originally a 7 night Northern European repositioning cruise from Barcelona to Dover. We happened to be on the Magic just a few days after the dates were released. When we decided the airfare was going to be to much, we changed to a Mexican Riviera. Now I am so fed up with the BS involved with flying, we decided to book this cruise so we can drive to Port Canaveral. Unfortunately, there is still a chance we will have to rebook because construction of a new school here could delay the start of school and delay fall break....... We can only hope for good weather and accurate construction schedules!!
