Just found this thread! First time cruis'n Feb 17 - Feb 20 with extended family - might only be three days on the Dream but it will be a trip of a life time!

I am very excited and do have some questions - perhaps someone here can help --
Need info on aquaduck the youngest child in our group is 7, 47" can she go on aquaduck with an adult?!!

We are staying at County Inn & Suites - if so many of others from this board are staying there how does the shuttle to the port work - do i have to request a pick up time? What is there to do at the port with 4 kids ages 7-11?

and for transportation from the port to disney resort what is best to use? This is a huge cost so we are looking at the cheapest way, i know disney transport is $35 per person.

and what do people do to somehow get kids to sleep while on the cruise so they can get up in the morning to enjoy things to do?!

Welcome! We are also traveling with extended family, and we're so excited! There are 18 of us! In answering a couple of your questions--I don't think your youngest will be able to do the AquaDuck. I believe the height limit is 48 inches. We are in the same situation. We have several young ones that are so disappointed! As for the transportation, we always rent a car from Budget and then return it at the airport. VERY easy to do and much more cost effective! Let me know if you need any other info on renting from Budget. See you soon!

Still figuring out the boards and how to read threads.

- Some first timer questions -- and these answers may be elsewhere but her they are:
when we arrive at the terminal is there a place to get food in case kids get hungry?
end of cruise - what do you do for breakfast on the last day? how late can we sleep in? can we carry off all our luggage or do we have to check luggage?
is the pool open on Sunday morning we disembark?

and - what is the safety drill exactly?

thank you! off to read more! too cold for kids to go to school today -- looking forward to going to FL!

when we arrive at the terminal is there a place to get food in case kids get hungry?There was a place where you could get food before the terminal renovation, I have not heard it was closed
end of cruise - what do you do for breakfast on the last day?You eat at the restaurant you ate at the last night-early dining at 6:30 late dining at 7:30-8.I think you can also choose to eat at Cabanas. how late can we sleep in? Everyone has to be off the ship by 9:00. can we carry off all our luggage or do we have to check luggage? You can do either.
is the pool open on Sunday morning we disembark?No.

and - what is the safety drill exactly? When you go to your lifeboat stations to learn what to do in case of an emergency.

thank you! off to read more! too cold for kids to go to school today -- looking forward to going to FL!

Only 23 more days to go! Snow again here today. This cruise can't get here soon enough.

Hi Everybody! I thought I'd check in one last time about Fish Extenders. It seems like there are only a few people interested in participating, so I'm not sure if it's worth doing?

Let me know ASAP if you want to do the FE exchange and if there are enough people, we can get it going! Let me know! 3 weeks to go!!

 

[DMMarla07860]

21 days, can't wait and I'm off to Orlando, Disney World, and Universal from tomorrow till February second so hopefully that helps time go faster

 

[disneypoor]

Enjoy your trip to Florida! Can't wait until the 16th so I can be there too!

[orangemom]

NTOFD - thanks for the answers to my questions.

This is our first cruise so i will pass on fish extenders but would be happy to do a meet, especially so my somewhat shy daughter can meet other 8-10 year olds.

I think there are only 3 of us wanting to participate, so it doesn't look promising...
