Spring Break 2011 on the DREAM

[Mean Queen]

Is anyone else here a fan of Disney Cruise on Facebook? Today they posted pictures of the new Animators Palette. It's much different than the current ones. The walls look more like an animators room. At the end, you will be under the sea and can interact with characters like Crush. The big ending wasn't revealed. I am so excited to see the new twist on the animator theme.

We are DVC members as well owning at Beach Club and Animal Kingdom. Booked the cruise with cash and still haven't decided if we will convert to points or not. We are planning on staying at Beach Club after the cruise for a few days. We are really looking forward to being on the Dream and wil reshop the cruise when we are on the Magic in Sept for the transatlantic. It won't hurt to see if it is a better price.

I saw that earlier today. Yes it does look quite different. But different can be good. If you are a D23 fan on facebook there was also information on the themeing on the ship along with the technology (virtual portholes) that came out today I believe.

We are going to stay at SSR starting the Friday before our cruise and then go back to continue the Disney Magic after the cruise. i so can't wait to take my parents to the Magic Kingdom for the first time and on this cruise. It is so out of the ordinary for them!

I have to go ahead and join the FB pages for DCL and D23! DH gave me a membership to D23 for my b-day this year. I can't wait to see all the new stuff coming out. We will be making our DVC reservations next month too which will be great!

Getting ready for our end of May visit to SSR now. I am looking over my boss' schedule to see when he will be out so I can call/ go online to make my dinner ressies for our trip! Planned our nights out last night so now I can't wait!

pnyltwk ~ Have a great time on your trip!

We had a good week at HHI and did not want to come home.

I found a site with some information about the DREAM at allears.net. Not sure if this link is allowed or not. If it gets removed just PM me and I can provide it again if you are interested.

esbrick-enjoy your trip to SSR. Are you staying in a THV or at the main resort?

Thanks! We are "hopefully" staying at the Springs! We like staying there because of the proximity to the main pool and to use that path way by the golf course to go to DTD OR use the boat ride to go over that way. I did my ADR's the other night and the only one I couldn't get was The Coral Reef in Epcot! I told DH that we would just not make ressies for dinner anywhere on Friday night and see if we could get on a wait list when we are there. It's not like we will go hungry! We want to go to Epcot on Friday because they have EMH that night

I looked at the posting of the dream cabana's the other day to and also changed our reservation to include my parent's neighbors from last year. In doing so I was also able to move my parents closer to us which makes it that all three families are next to each other. I was thinking that next weekend I am going to put in an order for my parent's FE so that they are all set with that. I already told DSD that she and the other child will be able to go deliver our stuff.

Have a great day everyone!

I know what FE's are but where do you get them or do you have to make them? Also how does it work? Do you give deliver something everyday or just once? Any suggestions as to what to give. Sorry about all the questions just never did this on our last cruise. Any help would be useful, Thanks

Some brave person will help organize it. It seems to be different based on who does it and how long the cruise is. On the shorter cruises, I've generally just done one day of delivering. There are lots of cool things to give, from Pirate/Princess/Disney themed items bought on Oriental Trading Company to homemade gifts. I bought my FE on Ebay. My friend made a really nice one using no-sew directions found on the Dis.

I bought mine on ebay as well. from Gradysmommy, http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Pocket-Minnie...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a9f9be72a as I have no Crafty ability whats so ever! She is great and does a lovely job. I will be getting one for my parents in a few weeks too.

We didn't do this on our first cruise but did it last year and it was a great way to help spread the magic! We also had a DIS meet up one night which was alot of fun too! I would be willing to set it up if everyone is game. I'll just start an spread sheet and work from there. Basically people give their Cabin numbers, last names, and who will be in your cabin, ie:

The Kricks
Cabin # 10XXX (I forgot it!)
DH, DW, DSD13

We brought little bags that I had the 2 girls put together on Saturday evening that had crazy straws; pirate tats; beads; and a bottle opener from the brewery I work at. I am thinking of doing the same this year but that is definately subject to change. Just depends on what we, as a group deside. We can have it that certain familys have certain days; We all do what we want or each family do a little somehting daily. I am a fan of having days assigned. I will post a schedule as we get closer and we will all know each others rooms# and # of people in them. If you PM me email addresses I can also email this info if someone is scetchy having it on the board. Just let me know.

I hope we can do this as it is alot of fun!

Back to work! My DCL break is over

This is our second cruise. We sailed on the Wonder last year. Cruising is different. Everything is all in one place. We really enjoyed our cruise and I am sure that you guys will also.

I made our fish extender last summer. I followed the directions I found here on the DIS. It was actually pretty easy. My kids were so excited to find their gifts in it. They also had a great time delivering our gifts to other cabins! Here's a picture of our FE:

That's who I bought mine from also. The gifts were a great way to get the kids back to the room.

Welcome! We will have a great cruise!

 

[nordkin]

Thank you for the welcome. We and my mother are looking forward to it. She talked so much about the dream we had to book a cruise on it for her so she will have been on all three ships. I see a trip on the Fantasy in the future.
