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

[Karen Mouse]

Hello! Hope to see you back!

My whole family is excited to ride the Aqua Duck too!

Kristen

Thanks for the welcome Kirsten - after about 25 emails back and forth to Dreams Unlimited we're now booked on the b2b Oct 16 and Oct 20th. It was a struggle to find a stateroom we were happy with! - we wanted inside (to get the virtual porthole) that wasn't a connecting room and wasn't next to an elevator! After about 20 staterooms already being taken we chose 7521.

I'm soooo excited that I want to start packing

We will have to stop by to see your stateroom. The virtual portholes look awesome! And Welcome

Firstly, thanks for the welcome and secondly..
absolutely! - you're more than welcome to come and see the porthole. We cruised inside before and it was fine, and last time we got one of the SPH rooms so had a "free window". We wanted inside this time just for the virtual porthole. Its 11b cat. I wonder how many insiders will be offered upgrades to outside though... 13 months to go and LOTS of the cabins we wanted were already booked up. We couldnt get any of our choices in 10a or 11a. About 20 cabin numbers later our TA finally found one we all liked! I wonder how many people will REFUSE the upgrade, having purposely booked inside for the virtuals. It'll be interesting when the Dream finally sets sail to see how Disney handles it. There are far fewer insides on the Dream than the Magic so I'll be looking at those first few sailings with interest! If we were offered an upgrade I'm not sure what I'd do, I know it would be crazy to turn it down, but I soooo want to see Nemo swim by and the star fish wave at me...yes, I'm THAT sad!

Hello everyone! We just took our 2nd Wonder cruise on Sept 19-23rd and while onboard we booked this cruise on the Dream.

On our last cruise we also did our first FE exchange and it was amazing! We can't wait to do it again...only this time we will be much more prepared. Our son (who was 6) was so excited every time we returned to our room to see if he got any more gifts. It was just one of those extras that made the trip so "Wonder"ful...

It's going to be so hard to wait another year... wish we could go back tomorrow!

We love the name for the cruise "Once upon a Dream"... great choice.

I was looking through video from our last cruise and came across this snippet. Just another reason why DCL castmembers are awesome and one of the reasons I thought to choose our group name
Just click on the video to play

Click the link above - we have the original ears for our door, but there are some fab designs on page 1

Is everyone going to decorate their doors? I love seeing the designs as you walk round the ship. We had so many lovely comments last time.

Hi there, this group is growing nicely! I agree, FE is great fun, my son loved it too. He used to run ahead and then yell out "we've got more goodies Mom!" when he saw the door

 

[Tngrl78]

We will be decorating our door. The last cruise we did was the first time we did anything with our door and we had a lot of fun doing it. We did the Mickey Captain’s hat for our porthole decoration. Plus we added some personalized magnets to our door. We received some new magnets as FE gifts, so we will add them to our door decoration collection. We definitely see this as something that will evolve over time and over multiple cruises… we’ll just keep adding to our door…

It’s kind of scary already knowing that our next cruise will simply be our “next” cruise… and not our last… We have definitely been bitten by the DCL bug!

 

[tinkmom2]

Yep Karen we will be decorating our door. I have many more magnets to add from our last two cruises plus jordak and millie made me some more. Here's what my door looked like last cruise.

PS Welcome to all our new members!

Stateroom 7521. Let the partying begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to getting to know you! I've always wanted to go to England. Where exactly are you located? Oh, and we booked a cat 11b room too just for the virtual porthole! I figured we could live w/o a verandah for 4 days. We're in #7031.

Hi Everyone....Well, we just got off the Wonder and I swore our next cruise was going to be RC....but, here I am again!

I'm curious why you swore your next cruise was going to be RC and why you decided to book with Disney again?

I ask because while we booked this cruise while on our last one a few weeks ago, we were also debating whether we'd keep it or to do RC or even Carnival instead.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to our group! We'll probably be getting a list together a month or two before our sailing for the FE. In the mean time have as much fun searching for gifts as I am Target has had some really good stuff lately in their dollar section.
