Sep. 7, 2015 on the Dream

In other news, Jurassic World was awesome (terrifying though- I thought I would have to comfort Kelsey but it was more the other way around) and I have officially decided to make our FE from scratch. Cindy posted a link on the other board and I am heading to Joann's (not yours Joe) to get some fabric. Wish me luck! I will post pics if/when it turns out. Ha!

I look forward to it. I was going to say if your coming over bring a bottle of crown apple. Lets get this party started

I think I'm the only one who hasn't tried the crown apple!

So many pages! Lots of chatting going on-hope I didn't miss anything. I'm focused right now on another cruise-nonDisney-first week of August with Hubbie, son and friend then I can hurry and focus on the Dream with my BFF and her granddaughter. Lots of groups of clothes hanging every where. Disney cruises with children seem to me more of an effort preparing for. I have to be prepared for all the extra special activities.

Tolerance... I need to work on that too!!!!

I haven't tried it either!! My husband went to get some, but our store only had the large large large bottle. It was $35 and I didn't feel comfortable paying for something I didn't know if we would like. I am going to the big city (well compared to my town) tomorrow. I am going to see if the store there has it in a smaller bottle.

In more other news, we are officially going to Universal Friday and Saturday after the cruise. There is a big music festival that we want to see which includes my son's favorite artist. We are going to go to Clearwater and see Winter on Sunday before the cruise. Saturday before, we are arriving early afternoon and probably just going to DTD, enjoy the hotel pool and go out to our favorite (non Disney) restaurant for dinner. I think we finally have all the pre/post nailed down. Until we change our mind. Ha!

Sounds fun!! What is your favorite non-Disney restaurant?

Part of the fun is changing your mind over and over again I think we are nailed down now with the exception of where we are eating Saturday post cruise.

Chevy's. We love the food and they had a balloon artist entertain us last time, it was so much fun! It was one of our most memorable dinners in the Orlando area.

Does anyone know which nights will be Pirate, costume fun and "dress up" whatever they call it?

I believe it is night 3... but don't hold me to it

In the navigators from last year: Night One is cruise casual, Night Two is Halloween, Night Three is pirates, and Night Four is optional dress up.

Hope you like it. If not, bring the leftovers on board . I've been working on my tolerance. Had some sprite, whipped vodka and pineapple vodka last night.... Pretty tasty! Drink up my friends.

Thats what I thought but when I called Disney for rotation request they told me something different. I mentioned it was a special theme sailing and they said it didn't change. Sometimes the frequent cruisers know more than those CM on the phones.

The schedule that I posted was what they did last year. But it is a real possibility that we will get our navigators (or look at the schedule on the app once we are onboard) and it is completely different. Unfortunately, our cruise is the first "Halloween On the High Seas" of the season so we won't be able to look at a navigator from this year and tell what ours will be.

Remember when we made our tickers and the slider was all the way to the left?!? Mickey is getting pretty far to the right on mine!!

I need to start making lists of the last things I need to do to prepare. This vacations is sneaking up on me!!

Up late working on FEs. I'm starting to worry a bit because I am using a new product. I always worry when I'm using something new! But the worse thing that could happen is that they don't turn out and I have to use what I am used to working with. Here's crossing my fingers that my test run turns out good!

My Daughter loves that place they went there in May. It might be an option for a lunch. It's right outside the gates in a plaza across the street right?

I'm sure if you didn't like it some people on the cruise would have helped empty it for you. LOL
