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

[tinkmom2]

No list yet. So many people are adding or dropping this cruise. We will probably make the list about 2 months out and close it so we have a definate head count. You can find out who's coming by scrolling through the pages

 

[loveysbydesign]

I don't mind starting a list now in case anyone else is interested!
If anyone wants to be added, just message me with the names of the people you're cruising with and the kids ages that they will be on the cruise ...also cabin number if you know it!
Ours is:
Tracey and Jeff Hartley, 3 kids, Richie(12), Becca(8), Ryan(4) --#2017
Richard and Mary Hartley --#2019 (1 of our kids is sleeping in their room)
Also we do want do the FE!

Is there an ongoing list of who is signed up for our cruise yet? my kids would like to find out if there's any other kids their age that we can meet from here on the disboards!

There was talk of doing the Fish extender list about 2 months before the cruise but I would love to start one sooner we put alot of time and thought into ours and I don't know about anyone else but the last month before the cruise is very chaotic and with a larger ship that mean more people on the FE list. We can always add or delete the list as time goes by and put a cut off date to exchange on. What does everyone think? We'll do what ever

I agree..I think we should start one soon and make the cutoff maybe when the final payment due date is, July I think. 9 months seems far away but i know it will go fast once spring/summer hits!
Plus we can limit the number of people and make 2 groups if necessary.

I agree lets do it. Do you want to start one? and be in charge of it?

I think tinkmom2 wanted to be in charge of it...but it doesn't matter to me. I can start one and hand it over to her later if she'd like to work on it closer to the cruise or she can do it. I've only been on 1 Disney cruise and the person who did the FE for it did such a fabulous job keeping tack of everyone and making pdf files of the floors of the ship with the cabin #'s highlighted. I am just getting so darn excited now that the cruise seems so close!

What ever you too want to do is fine with us. That list must have been pretty neat! The 2 that we did just listed the names and cabin number but we did meet on the ship before the life jacket drill incase there were any changes which I thought was a good ideal. Our kids get really excited when they see other kids there own ages going on the cruise too.

I don't have a copy of what the list looked like on my previous cruise. I wil have to search my other computer. This is what we had on the list on my previous cruises Names, cabin numbers, ages, Disname, contact email (in case you want to keep in contact), birthdays or special events, and food allergies. The cabins were according to location and deck. We included a map with ours.

We also met in the atruim for our Dismeet. You can check it out in my trip report in my signature.

Ours is:
Tracey and Jeff Hartley, 3 kids, Richie(12), Becca(8), Ryan(4) --#2017
Richard and Mary Hartley --#2019 (1 of our kids is sleeping in their room)
Also we do want do the FE!

Ours is:
Joe and Shelly Kristoff, 2 kids, Kaylei (7), and Brandon (4) - We don't know our stateroom number yet, once we get it, we'll forward it on!

If anybody is making a list, It will be me Misty 35, my husband Jeff 50 and our daughter Kaitlynn 4. We are celebrating our 5th year anniversary, Our daughters 4th b-day and my husbands 50th b-day. We are in room 10574. This will be our 2nd cruise.

We would like to do the FE exchange if anybody is making that list as well.

I think the lists should be done earlier and have the cut off date when final payments are due. It is so hectic towards the end of the wait.

I was not trying to be a stick in the mud. I just know from experience I had to redo our list several times and ours was done about 1 month out. It can get really confusing with all the dropping and adding especially since we are so far out. Also there are some GTY cabins that will not have numbers til the end.

What we've done in past cruises is divide the list into groups of 10 if it gets too big. That would keep cost down. I know one person was saying they would have over 40 people coming.

Maybe posting a note saying you are taking names will help? I have seen others do it in the other forums or even posting another note here?

Here's our info
Pat (DH 43) Claire(DD, Birthday 6 Oct 19th) Cassie (DD,12) Chirs (DM 38) cabin 6610 this is our 3rd DCL cruise.

We will be staying at Double Tree at Cocoa beach on friday night thru sunday morning and taking the shuttle over to the port.

What about putting the list on page 1. It make it easier to see who is going and to take people off if they are no longer going.

For the record, I don't think you were being a stick in the mud. I think some of us are just really excited (like this --> ). Waiting does make sense to me as well but I'm willing to go with the flow.
I just wish the cruise would hurry up and get here!!

Here's my info: Kevin (DH), Kristen (Me), Katy (DD - 17), and Kyle (DS - 15). And no, we did NOT plan to have all "K" names. I'll get back to you with our stateroom #. I don't have the info with me at the moment.

Have a great Tuesday!

Thanks Kristen!
I keep having this really weird ship dream. It's some like the Wonder and some like the "Love Boat" lol. I dreamed the washers were full of suds and the suds were taking over the hallways! Seems like I have the Dream on the brain too lol!

GMA and the View are having the Dream on tomorrow so stay tuned!

 

[Twinprincesses]

We would love to be part of the FE. I also love the idea of breaking it into smaller groups if there are too many people participating.

I hope our meet is good too. My last cruise meet nobody really talked to one another and we all just stood there.

Our info

Room 10160
Devon 37
Chrissy 33
Allison 8 (girl)
Zoe 8 (girl)

Alright...I'll start adding people to a Word document for now...at least that way it can start to be saved!
I need this cruise planning to get me out of our winter funk....no school here again in PA due to snow and ice!
