Spring Break 2011 on the DREAM

[chernabogfamily]

Hello Everyone!

We will be coming on this cruise with all of you! Yea!! This will be our 2nd cruise~~~there is no other way to travel baby!!

I think a little pixie dust was sprinkled on my computer to let us book this cruise. I first saw it (pricing it out so Hubby and I could decide on it), then we decided to book it, and it was no longer offered. On a whim, I would check the site every day to see if someone had cancelled...after a week...Woohoo jackpot!

We are:
DH (J)
myself (Kellie) cruising to celebrate my 40th
DS (Hunter-11 on the cruise) He's celebrating his 11th on the cruise
DD (Piper- 7)

We are interested in the FE also. We didn't do it on our last cruise, but it looked fun (although I don't have a clue where to look on EBay for the holder). We are in a GTY Family Verandah room, so I don't have a room number yet.

I'm excited to be joining you all for this trip.

Welcome to the cruise! That is great that you were able to get a room. I ordered my FE from, I think, the same people esbrick linked. It's lasted me quite a few cruises since I skipped putting a date on it.

Thanks a bunch for the Ebay link for an FE. I'll check out the site. I'm still trying to talk my hubby into the whole FE idea (he's not quite on board with it yet). I have time...5 months, 3 weeks, 3 days so the tickers all say!!!

 

[chernabogfamily]

I've been reading everyone's posts and it seems that most everyone is going to WDW for a few days either before or after the cruise (or lucky enough to do B2B cruises). We are just flying in the night before the cruise and heading home the day after the cruise. Is anyone else doing this?

Does anyone have a suggestion for a fun hotel to stay at the night we disembark (that is not a Disney property)? Last year we went to the WDW after our cruise, and we did not enjoy being thrown into the crowds and lines after the utterly relaxing experience of the cruise. So, this year we just want to keep the relaxation going until we head home the next day, but I don't know where to look for hotels away from the World but convenient to head to the airport the next day.

Hi Kate ~

Awesome! Who all is going to be in your cabin? I see you have 1 princess and 1 prince charming. Would you let me know their ages and your room number when you get a chance? You can either post here or PM me.

Glad you're on board!

OK well I have you on the list as of now you can let me know and I can always amend the list

 

[esbrick]

Wow, sounds like lots of girls of the teenage persuasion will be on board. My daughter doesn't do facebook yet (still 12), although she really wants to be. Probably will be when she turns 13 in October, so that would be a great way to let them chat and get to know each other. How many girls going on the cruise do facebook? Lets take a survey!!!

Hi there! When you get a chance will you PM me your FE info?
Thanks so much!

We're in the same boat (ha, ha). We're flying in on Sat. At the moment I have a room booked at the Residence Inn in Cape Canaveral. We're going to go to Cape Canaveral the day we get off the ship, spend one more night somewhere and fly home to Denver on Friday. Any hotel suggestions out there?

 

[esbrick]

Currently I have:

26 Families and info for 19 (I do not have complete info for all 19)
38 Adults
16 DD's
10 DS's

If you have sent me info but left anything out above you can post it or PM me with it. In past FE's I have participated in the organizer posted the following way:

DISNAME/Family Name
DW/DH (or Adult count)
DD11
DS12

If anyone would like an updated list please PM me your email address and I will send you the spread sheet.

Have a great day everyone! Happy Dreams!

wow! is this a record # of people or what? Guess I will have to mail ourstuff ahead of time or something!!!!

 

[chernabogfamily]

Hmmm... how shall we go about this? That seems like an awful lot of items that I will have to bring in an already packed bag.

You could ship them ahead of time or dedicate a bag for the items since you will leave with many more items than you arrived with between FE gifts and souvenirs.

 

[ppiew]

I do believe that their are some who haven't confirmed by giving full info. I am sure that later in the year or first part of next, it will be more definite. Then a decision can be made how to address the # of people. It could be a non-issue. Last year I did mail a box ahead of time as we were going to be in Florida for 1 month ahead of the cruise. It wa delivered to my room perfectly! No problem at all.
But This year I am smarter - I am going to make SMALL things!!!

Okay, so the last thread I posted this question to, got me seriously laughed at. But....I'll ask again.
Is there anyone on this cruise that is a runner and interested in doing the Castaway Cay 5K? I'm guessing that the Dream will keep doing this part of the itinerary, but who really knows until the maiden voyage. Is anyone a walker that might do the powerwalk?

The WB Transatlantic cruise we just returned from had 95 staterooms so we broke it down to 5 groups of 15 so it would be easier for people.

Definitely not me. But I bet you could get some beautiful pictures during a powerwalk.

 

[chernabogfamily]

I'm hoping that there might be someone else who runs and may be interested. When I did the run this year, it was quite miserable (mid 90's and humid- it was June). So, I keep hoping that maybe I'll meet someone else on the cruise and this thread that will also be doing it, because a friendly face is always nice to see. The big plus, the weather should be much nicer in March than in June!

My daughter in law runs, I will ask her next week
