Spring Break 2011 on the DREAM

[esbrick]

I am so excited to start planning this trip! It is going to be a great time! I truely can't believe we are going to be on the DREAM! I mean we loved the Wonder but I really can't wait to see how Disney makes the Dream special!

Everyone have their FE's ready? I need to get one for my parents! We are putting a bag together for them for thier next Anniversary, February 2011 with stuff they will need for the cruise! It will be great!

We are sailing with you guys. It will be me (Donna), my partner (Joi), and my mother (Katherine). My mother was so excited about the literature she has been receiving about the Dream we just had to book it for her. We are squeezing this in between the September 2010 WB Transatlantic by ourselves and the June 28 Alaska with our grown children, their significant others, and my mother.

I look forward to getting to know all of you over the next few months.

Sounds like you have some great cruises planned! The family who joins us on all cruises (including this one) also planned an Alaskan Disney cruise. I said that we were sorry but we could not reciprocate going on every cruise they go on. Though I wish I could!

So has anyone read anywhere whether or not they will have pirate night on the Dream cruises? I mean I am assuming that there will be the sail away party but i've been talking about the pirate night party for so long to may parents it would be my luck that they wouldn't have it!

I can't imagine that they would get rid of that. It is one of the biggest events on the ship. I generally see more people at the Pirate party than the sailaway. I think if they didn't have it, they would have a bunch of pirates to deal with.

No way would Pirate Nite disappear. On our cruise we had fireworks that night. I think some of the other cruise ships followed close by just so they could see the fireworks from the Wonder.

Got our cruise planning package in the mail yesterday. Only a little over of year to go. We booked our first cruise in June of 2008 that had a sail date of October 2009. It seemed like the year and a half just flew by. The date for this cruise will slip up on us before we know it. We are very anxious to see the DREAM. I just know that it is going to be a spectatcular awesome ship.
We are getting ready to leave this Saturday for our Spring Break trip to Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort. We are going to have a great trip. What are you guys doing for Spring Break?

We are going to be here for Spring Break as DSD is with her Mom this year for her holiday. DH and I are going to WDW adn staying at SSR though at the end of May for a week! So looking foward to that too. We got our planning disk as well but we just finished the 6th grade science project for 2010 this eveing so hopefully this weekend I will get a chance to look.

Have a great time in Hilton Head! My dad used to go there on business trips. I think that DH would like it there as well because he is an avid golfer. Hmmm maybe a spontaneous weekend trip is in order. . . Something to think about anyway!

That was the same with our cruise last year! We could see the ships start to circle while we were at Palo's for dinner. It was such a spectacular night! I'm glad it's not going away

I see that you have stayed at SSR a few times. Are you guys DVC members?

Yep we are! We joined about 3 or 4 years ago. We love going down just the two of us and for family vacations with my DSD. It was/is a great investment! Are you DVC members too? I am assuming so since I saw the SSR tag in your siggie

We're actually using our points for the cruise for the first time. We own both SSR and BLT. We love our DVC! We have stayed at all of the resorts, except the new Grand Californian.

We bought at SSR in 04. We have enjoyed DVC and wish we had joined when we first looked at it. We have stayed at quite a few of the resorts but not all of them. Believe it or not we try to get the most bang for our point buck. We have not stayed at AKL, BLT, BW or BC yet. But have been everywhere else on the east coast. We are actually cruising on points too. What we did last cruise and this cruise was use points for half of our party and paid cash for the rest. There are four of us on this trip. Our two children that are still at home are 12 and 15. I have an older son that will be 23 this year. He has gone with us in the past but at his age he is more interested in being an adult that going on trips with us. Our last vacation we stayed in the THV's for two days and then spent two days at VB and then a three night cruise on the WONDER. That was very good vacation and made us realize that we wanted to go on a longer cruise.

We just booked our first cruise. Very excited! We go to Disney every year, but we thought we'd try the cruise next spring break. It'll be DH, me and our dd (9 next year).

 

[dceks cruisers]

We are moving our reservation to this week! We're so excited about going on the Dream! We will be going with 3 other families and the rest of you! This will be fun! DH, DW (me), DS15 and DD10. This will be our third cruise.

We changed our booking from the Wonder to the Dream. DS is very excited to have his 12th BD during the cruise.

We're at the one year mark! Tick tock, to the dock in 365 days!

I just played hubby a game of Rummy and he wanted to know what we were playing for so I said a Bounce Back! I won!

What's a family to do with those extra days after we are supposed to get off on 3/31??? Time will tell if we really do BB...I've got extra placeholder cruises booked! Got to make the most of the flights we'll need!

We are going to Disney's Hilton Head Island resort this morning. We drove all day yesterday and spent the night in a dive in Savannah, Ga. Looking forward to getting in to a nice room this afternoon. Yes we are under a year and counting until Crusing on the DREAM!!!

Well, we're getting back on the ship. But my second choice would be to continue the Disney magic at the World.

Shay:

I think we'll be doing Kennedy Space Center and not sure what else but the BB is not out of the question. Want to move from Silver to Gold level faster so this would be a fast track for that plan! Next up after a BB like this would be a BB consisting of a 3 or 4 night and then a 7 night on the Fantasy. That would be a fun plan! Or throw in a maiden voyage on the Fantasy?

Any bets the Dream becomes the 7 night ship and they hook all the people again for a 3 or 4 night all over again on the new Fantasy ship and throw in enough differences between Dream and Fantasy so we all can't resist doing both?
