Sept 8, 2011 Dream - FE final list complete

[SinghIsKing]

Just joined this discussion group, so I have not yet looked at all the valuable inputs in these threads;

We (40&40) traveling with our boys (6 and 11) are thinking for taking private tours romeinlimo.com from the following ports:
Naples, Italy
Civitavecchia, Italy
La Spezia, Italy

Anyone interested in sharing the van with us? Did some research and looks like price for 1-4 is 450-500 Euro and for group of 8 is approx 600 Euro. This is our first cruise vacation..

Thx.

Hi all I'm Sarah and I'll be joining you. I'm sailing solo and it'll be my 5th cruise.

One question-- Do we have any platinum or concierge members who have been able to make reservations yet? If so what does the availably look like for Remy?

Hi Sarah!

Glad to have you along on this cruise.

Hi Sarah! and Welcome aboard, it is so good to have you sailing with us! I will be sailing with DW and DD(9) we will be doing B2B being this our first leg, 3rd and 4th Disney cruises for us. I am so looking forward to surprising my wife with an adult only dinner at Remy, so I definitely hope there will be availability.

I look forward to meeting you aboard beautiful Disney Dream.

We are hoping for Remy ressies, too!

Hi Thanks for letting me know about the FE details, we paid in full a while ago so i didnt know about the 90 day cut off date .... Im looking forward to shopping for some goodies for the FE`s!!

Just spoke to my hubby about the CC 5k and he thinks he may do it but it will depend on the day, I would also like to have a go but one of us will have to keep an eye on the kids and I probably wont be able to wait to get to the beach!!! We cant wait to go to Castaway Cay !!!

See u soon xxxx

Wow! I'm impressed that there are a few of us that actually think the CC 5K sounds like fun. I'm looking forward to it so much more now. Who needs a cruise meet when you can do a 5K instead? OK. Just kidding. I will still be trying to organize a brief, informal cruise meet on the first day for anyone who wants to try to put faces with names.

Hope everyone is having a great week. I know I've been busier than busy. Talk to y'all soon!

Just moved our cabin to the starboard side so we can get the better view of Castaway Cay when we back in!

Hi everyone, it's been a LONG time since I've posted but I am getting super excited about this cruise!! I posted way back when that me (Marie Gordon) and my friend (Paula Ridge) will be sailing with no kiddies or husbands....girls weekend out

We are on deck 7, "dreaded" cabin #7680.

I do have a misc question...I know The Flying Dutchman is no longer at Castaway Cay, does anyone know if another ship from Pirates of the Caribbean will replace it?

Hope to meet a few of you all soon!!

Hi there! Your trip sounds exciting, however, this thread is for people cruising on the Dream on Sept. 8th. That would be the Bahamas 3-night cruise. You are more than welcome to chat with us, but I'm not sure how much input you'll get about the Med cruise and the private tours you were inquiring about. Have a great time on your trip!!

Haven't heard of any replacement for the Dutchman.

Why is 7680 dreaded?

Well, I'm not platinum or concierge, but this is the second half of our b2b and I was able to book for the first half on Sunday - they had many Remy choices available for that cruise.

I also would like to point out that while booking an excursion for Castaway Cay, the waverunner one still says that you, "Ride past the Flying Dutchman. . . " - I was a bit surprised that hadn't been updated yet . . .

So my older son takes off, Friday, for the Regional Competition for Trampoline & Tumbling. His prior scores have already qualified him for the National Competition in San Antonio in July for one of the three events (trampoline). He hopes to hit the qualifying score for the double mini event this weekend.
Despite the fact that he is 15 years old (nearly 16 by the time of sailing), he has only travelled alone once in his life. I've never missed a meet.......Finances dictate that he go without me this week........sigh.....He will be with his coach.
Wish him luck.
My younger son has reached the end of the season for Artistic gymnastics (he competed at Regionals). His coaches voted him Gymnast of the Year! I am really proud of him....

Now my question: I want to do the FE, but how easy/difficult will it be if we are in a concierge stateroom???

 

[tinkslite]

I made reservations 3 days ago, Remy is offering dinners (they take 3 hours) beginning @ 5pm and last @ 9pm........I didn't make a reservation as I wish to dine with my kiddos.....but both Remy and Palo had a number of open slots when I was making reservations at 110 days out.........so hopefully there will still be availability when you get there......

Congrats to your son and good luck for his upcoming event! We just (last night) had the High School Musical Tony Awards for our area and our oldest was presented with the runner-up for Lead Actor in a Musical for Guido Contini in "Nine"! School is winding down but he still has this weekend's performances in "Bug" where's he's the lead as well After that, it's off to start touring colleges for him.

FE is fun for everyone. Your door is accessible (at least it is on the Magic & Wonder) so we can leave our booty for your crew

Congratulations to your son! Looks like he is having a very successful career and I wish him the best and hope he'll become an excellent athlete. My DD Madison is having a very successful year so far, she is only 9 but has won several medals and her Rhythmic Gymnastics team has won the gold medal of the regional (Madrid province) Championship . She has two more competitions in June and if everything goes well she will be training with our national team next season , although she is only 9, she is determined to keep training as hard as she can in order to reach her goal of joining the Olympic team. Needless to say we are all very proud of her and actually she is the one who deserves our cruise and WDW vacation the most.I Look forward to meeting some of you on our upcoming cruise .

This information is based on recent cruises and might change for ours:

As of today, most times and dates are still showing as available at both Remy and Palo.

 

[tinkslite]

My 15 (16 when we sail) DD was miffed that my last post was all about her brothers' accomplishments. So, this post is meant to right that slight
Jessi will be 16. She is a competitive swimmer. She does online schooling and likes math. She is looking forward to her swim meets this Summer. She is looking forward to the Royal Palace dining experience, Vibe, and the Pools!
Her favorite character is Tinkerbell. In fact, we called her Tinkerbell as a nic name, when she was smaller.
She is awesome!!!!!!!!!
