Hi from BLT at WDW! We are aclimatizing to the 40 degree tempeture change from Toronto. Then it is off to the beach club for dinner. We are going to head up to the Top of the World lounge on Tuesday night and I will take photos to share.

PJ

Hi KAMI !!!!

once again we cruise together!!! Check and you'll find Becky and Stephen.
Will be wonderful to see you all again.

UPDATE: Surgery went well but Im the one who had all the set backs. Too long to list, so lets just say, taking longer to recoup!

Thanks for the good wishes, believe me ... I loved them

Ann

Ann I hope you do start getting better soon! I know I hate being ill!

It is so nice to see so many nice people on this thread! Over my past 11 cruises, I have met so many awesome people...including many who I have been friends with for years now!
The boys dont understand how far away the trip is! LOL! They keep asking when we are going on "da boat" LOL!

Dont worry I ask that all the time also.

We've still got some to do next weekend (couple of hours probably) as were sorting out my Great Uncles garden so we can arrange for his house to be sold. The house hasn't been lived in for a little while so the garden in places has got a little wild lol. Luckily there's a dump near his house so we managed to go and dump 9 bags of garden waste down there - although brought decomposable bags as thought they would accept these but still had to empty everything out of them into the container! Very annoying!

typical council!when we bought our house the lady was a hundred!!! there had not been a lot of gardning done recently, we even found clothes poles when we started to tidy up!

I've just finally managed to take a look at Dream today! Actually I was quite impressed.

Have you seen the inside staterooms? I so want one! This "virtual porthole for real-time views of the sea—plus virtual sightings of animated Disney characters!" sounds so fun! My mum read that Crush will talk to you!

I'm just sad that they made the inside staterooms smaller. We have sailed in CAT 11 8 times and never been crowded, not sure that will be the case with the smaller rooms. We will be more than happy to check it out though!

Dear God! We found nothing unusual unfortunately! Hate creepy crawlies so got very freaked out by anything and everything but never mind. At least next weekend shouldn't take as long!

Oh are they smaller? Hadn't noticed that! Asked DU to get us a quote on a 4 nighter for 2011 just out of interest to look at pricings. What time do they open up today for Gold & Platinum CC members? Anyone know?

And it looks like way less storage areas. I hope the 'artist renderings' are just a guideline....

Do you have to bring your own steamer trunk?

I want to stay in an inside stateroom just for the virtual porthole - like the Cruise Director said - the inside cabin will be wait-listed for the first time!

Have you seen the inside staterooms? I so want one! This "virtual porthole for real-time views of the sea—plus virtual sightings of animated Disney characters!" sounds so fun! My mum read that Crush will talk to you!

http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/s...ooms/dream-fantasy/standard-inside-stateroom/

Tony and I have just sat and watched the whole presentation and I am so excited about the Dream - the technology is out of this world - I am so going to have to book a Dream cruise for Tony's 50th birthday in October 2011 even if we can only book a 5 day cruise as the maximum number of nights - wish the Dream was going to do longer cruises though, I will be spoiled after the 14 nights on this TA cruise.

I just loved listening to the imagineers and all the executives, they are so excited about the new ship!

I have to say that the virtual porthole was ingenious and I agree inside cabins will be wait-listed and not only for the price!

I'm doing the happy dance. I got my airfare today. For the trans-Atlantic portion, I paid just under 1/2 of what DCL was charging. Yes, I know that the DCL fare included MCO to home and transfers...but my next MCO flight is $71, so for basically $100 I can pull that off. Thus, I saved about $400 per ticket over DCL's prices AND booked an airline that as of today doesn't charge luggage fees!

From memory only.....I think they went from 184 sq ft to 169....is that correct?

I know what you mean. Our last was 15 days thru the Panama Canal. We are not sure that a 7 day would even be long enough!

So, maybe they will charge more for the inside staterooms on the new ship!!

I still can't come close to the DCL airfare even trying to book roundtrip.

Wow, no surprise there! Did you book one? I haven't even looked at the pricing.

Too many things going on in Jan 2011. I can't do this trip and the Panama trip and the Dream trip...gotta choose and this cruise is our choice
