Subbing......cant wait for the next update..![]()
Very much enjoying your trip report!
Ooh! Presents daily!
Ok, that made me skip ahead!
How wonderful to find THREE special CM's practically the minute you got on board and how lovely of you to bring them treats.
How long was the presentation? Jeff might be into the free goodies but probably has zero desire to sit through any kind of DVC presentation. Then again if it involves free sparkling wine, he might be up for it.
Your door looks great, I love your special ear magnets. The new backpack looks pretty cute.
Great update, Karin. Sweet on the daily presents; I'd be tempted to go for daily presents. But as we won't be buying DVC any time soon, if ever, I don't want to be depressed.![]()
Loved your updates Karin
So cool that you got to say hello to your fave CMs so soon after boarding the ship![]()
Oh Karin, I have lots of thoughts about this day............It's amazing how the workers remember you. We had the same occurance on our second Disney cruise on the Wonder. As soon as we went to eat lunch at Parrot Cay, our server, Arnel, from our very first cruise saw us and immediately came over to talk to us. I think it was that very moment that I was soo glad I booked another cruise with Disney. But wait! It gets better than that.............when we were on our June 2011 cruise (first time on the Dream) my husband and I sat down for dinner at a table for 8 and we see our tablemates from the previous June cruise on the Wonder. Not only did we see them, they were our table mates AGAIN! One year later, on a different boat! It was unbelievable! And then we start to wonder, was it fate, by chance? Does Disney dig down deep to see that 2 families that were on a previous cruise together are cruising again? (We had no clue the other family was cruising the same week as us one year later). I still can't get over that coincidence.
Now, getting to your first DVC member meeting, did you win any prizes there? Do you know how close we were to meeting one another there? We were at that meeting and I left at 3:00 to head to Vista Cafe. My husband stayed at the dvc meeting while I went to the dismeet. Then when everyone parted at Vista Cafe, I went back to the dvc meeting just when it was letting out. I bet we crossed paths many times and just didn't know it. Our room was aft also. I'm sure we ran into one another but didn't know it,...... darn!
I can't wait to read the rest of your report! I'm also enjoying the pictures.
I mam all caught up !!Yes Rosie has returned !!Wow soooooo much Pixie Dust !!!
Judy is palanning us going on a cruise in 2014 for the girls graduation !! Not Disney, but she wants to do a 7day minimum Bahamas cruise and She wants to plan it !!!!I didn't tell her that planning a Disney vacation is a lot more involved , she just has to pick the cruise , the dates , the airline and the Tours . Ressies are pretty well set, From what I remember you had 1 dining room, or the buffet on deck
I promise to keep up much better !!
How sweet that so many remember you! Well I must say for such devoted Disney fans you deserve no less!
Ive always thought WDW should have a rewards program so its nice to know DCL does.
Thats so sweet you gave out goodys! Im suprised the chocolates didnt get warm in your suitcase tho..
I plan on making magnets for our first cruise in Sept, I already have a ton of stolen .. errr borrowed templates.. LOL
By the way my husbands name is Thomas too we call him Tommy..
Loving the report!!
What a great surprise...well surprises to see all your servers again.
You have done so much and not even sailed away yet.
Love the shots of you approaching the Dream too.
Hi Karin-I am so enjoying your trip report. My husband worked over in Germany for two years so I can still remember the Frankfurt Airport and trying to manage two small children before our flights home to visit family in the summers. It is so huge and always crowded! Our very first experience with Disney started with Disneyland Paris since this is was the closest. We have been hooked ever since. We absolutely love all things Disney! Where in Austria are you from? Such a beautiful country. We visited while we were in Germany and absolutely loved it there! One of our favorite places!Lisa
We are reading along intently as the Dream may be in our future! Thanks for sharing. Love your report as always.
Look Karin I am here again !!!!![]()
Great idea, using the Mickey gloves when you set sail! Reading your report is getting me so excited for my upcoming cruise - I can feel the relaxation seeping from your words!! Love it!
