Wow, I'm impressed. I won't actually pack until the night before probably, but of course I will "try" to pack earlier. But, being in central FL, I can't pack up the shorts and swimsuits too early. I do need to get going on my FE gifts though.
We just got off the Freedom of the Seas this morning, and low and behold, who was coming in port behind us.... none other than the Dream. She sure is a beauty. We had fun on the FOS, but I can't wait to get on the Dream....
The kids still don't know... I just hope these two trips are not too close together. Right now, my youngest is not interested in cruising again any time soon. She has 1 month to change her mind....
Hi everyone!! Just checking in after 2 weeks in Las Vegas...hopefully one more week to go, but we might be here longer. Working 18 hour days hasn't been the best of times, especially in the city that is supposed to be nothing but fun. I'll be ready for vacation for sure (hopefully the bags underneath my eyes will have faded by then??)!!!! Hope everyone is well.
!!!!! Well you will have plenty of time to play in the sun
in a couple of more weeks! Just think, each day that goes by gets you closer to living the Dream 
We were on the Eastern Caribbean so we didn't see Haiti. We were disappointed in the food in general... not that it was bad, it just wasn't that good, and there didn't seem to be a great variety. Yes, we did a character breakfast on the last day at sea. You had to make reservations and the last day was all we could get. That was the most interaction we could get with the characters and that was just 3 characters coming around to the tables. We were able to get pictures, but the "autographs" were inked stampers that gave you a drawing of the character. The good thing was that there was no ships photog there, so I didn't have to pay for the pictures. Most of the photo ops with Dreamworks characters was controlled by the ships photogs... and they charged $19.95 for a picture. They would let you take your own but usually would only let you get at a very odd angle, so my pics were not great.
When we booked, I was told that characters were everywhere and there was plenty of interaction. I expected something like Disney, but other than staged photo ops and a couple parades, they really were not out that much. We were dissappointed with that. That is one of the things I am most excited about in thinking of the Dream. I am expecting WDW type interactions. I hope that is the case anyway.
Yes, this is our first DCL cruise. I can't wait. I know my kids would be excited too, if they knew. I got our documentation/luggage tags in the mail yesterday and had to sneak them in the house.
Both of my children think there is no way we could ever go on a disney cruise.
We have 18 staterooms i still have one family to get in touch with to make sure that they are still involved since i havent seen them on the board since i think may. We have 34 Adults, 11 Boys, and 11 girls in our group if everyone will start pming me your email addresses will send yall the list and the map of where almost everyone it Noodles mom will be getting their stateroom number at the port so when we meet up on the ship we will know where everyone is so no one will get lost
