"Once Upon a Dream" 4 Night Dream Cruise 10/16/2011

[jessrose18]

We are doing the Blue Lagoon Dolphin Encounter.

Cool! Now if I dont' change my plans a million times we will be on the boat over to blue lagoon with you! You will love the dolphin encounter! I have read that after the encounter you are free to use the beach area and stay on the island until the 1, 2 or 4pm boat. You will have to pay extra $30 per adult for lunch and use of floats, but you can enjoy the beach area, the pictures look awesome! When we did the dolphin swim in '07 they didnt have the beach excursion so that is a bonus.

I love everyone's pics!! I wish I had some to share but only have pics from WDW as this is our first cruise. All the pics of Castaway Cay and Nassau-not to mention the other ports-are really great! I can't wait!!

Am I the only one still paying off the cruise? I'm close but not there yet. Little by little and I'll have it done. Thank goodness Disney lets us pay it off like this or we'd never get to go. I just love Disney.

It has been utter chaos at our house lately!

I am still nursing a badly sprained ankle and am still limited on what I can do.

DD turned 8! earlier this month!

I had Day Camp training School for Cub Scouts on a bad ankle.

DD got extremely sick and missed a week of school last week.

Several Drs appts for me and DD.

I am so thankful my DF and DS were around to pitch in with my DD when there was things that could not easily be canceled!

Life is getting back to our breakneck pace this week....now waiting for the other two kids or DF or me to catch what DD had as she was extremely contagious.

You are not the only one still paying off the cruise! I only have my deposit paid off! We are still waiting for airfare prices to come down...$700-800 for 2 ppl will ruin the great deal I got on this cruise and might make this short vacay out of reach...here's hoping

I had a deposit down on podcast cruise 3.0, but now that they announced 4.0 is fantasy western carribean December 8th 2012, we are going to transfer it to that cruise, the price is actually cheaper, and traveling in June wasnt our first choice.....anyone else considering?

We are still paying and will hopefully be done in 2 months. We booked it over 2 years ago and just totally forgot to make any payments on it (oops). Then remembered in December that we still owed on it.

It would be cool if we could all have a minnie dis meet at a on property resort before the cruise

We are at Bay Lake Towers if anyone wants to jump over there.

That would be fun! We considered staying at the BLT this trip but went with our BWV instead. I would love to get to see it in person.

LOL! No! We've put the deposit down and that's it. We're paying it off next month. This month we're paying for high school choir tour for myself and 2 kids. We're going to Minnesota -- looks like we won't be needing bathing suits on this Spring Break!

Happy Friday!

 

[tinkmom2]

Well we are gonna be a the MNSSHP that Thursday and Bay Lake Towers is right there so we can stop by lol

PS as long as we are all paid off by July so we can book our excursions I will be happy! Life always has a funny way of getting in my way!

 

[katzs13]

We are in the 20's

We have only

More FRIDAY'S left before we cruise

 

[Twinprincesses]

We are not getting there till the friday. Checking in the 14th. When do the MNSSHP tickets go on sale?

 

[tinkmom2]

I think they tickets for the MNSSHP go on sale during the summer. The MVMCP went on sale in May. I am going by the 2010 dates so I think it will be on a Thursday (Oct. 13th) and on that Sunday when we are on the Dream.
Here is 2010 dates:
October 1, 3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 22, 24, 26, 28, 29, 31

We'll have to exchange cell phone numbers and try to meet up somewhere around the World lol

 

[Twinprincesses]

Did you say you were doing Universal?? I think we are doing Universal the day before the cruise. We scored 2 tickets with our Chase debit rewards points, so we just need to buy the 2 kids tickets.

we are planning on staying at the Hyatt the night before and catching the first bus to the terminal because our flight the night before gets in so late.

We will be staying at Pop and doing the MNSSHP on the Thursday we dock from the cruise. WE figure if we lose part of the day anyway, we might as well do DTD and take it easy until 6 when we can get into MK for the party. Especially since we are taking some pretty elaborate costumes to wear for the party.

Well, this was posted in another thread but I thought I'd share but give the warning that this may not be the "true" calender. It could be someone's grandmother's best friends son's girlfriend is a TA and she passed it on. You know how things can go around here.

http://www.disneytravelagents.com/S.../pdf/ParkHours/WDW_Operating_Calendar_oct.pdf

If this IS a correct calender it looks like there WILL be a MNSSHP on the Thurs that we come off the ship. I think that will make several of us happy.

 

[davids68girl]

Well, here I am with another link. I found this one showing the tentative dates for the party and it seems to coincide with the other calender.

http://www.easywdw.com/news/mickeys-not-so-scary-halloween-party-mnsshp-2011-dates/

Looks like we will have a choice of Thurs or Fri for the party.

 

[Twinprincesses]

Thurs would be excellent!! We tried to do a full park one day after a cruise and we were exhausted. This way we could check in, finally do Downtown Disney in full then do the party.
