The Twelve Days of Swinter: From Castaway 'Key' to a Partridge in a Palm Tree!

Love the report so far! We are a year away from our first Dream Cruise so can't wait to read more about what to expect!

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

Looks like things were off to an awesome start!! I am loving all the pictures. Can't wait for more!

We did have a fabulous start! The finish on the other hand.... Too bad you know EVERYTHING that's going to happen! Just kidding. There's plenty that I didn't tell you. I do feel like I have spoiled the TR fun for you though.

Oh you are in for such a treat. They make such a fuss over you on the ship. You really get spoiled. And everything is just so nice and clean and gorgeous! You are going to love it!

Oh the Enchanted Garden looked lovely! I can not wait to read and see more. By the way I adore the "goofy" pic of your DH and DD, you can feel the happiness of the moment.
Can not wait to read more, I already want to go on a cruise.

I'm behind on my subscriptions, but saw you started this from you posting on my TR, I can't wait to read it all!!!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Okay, caught up - I welled up with tears seeing you walk onto the ship! Isn't it amazing?!

I am SO happy Rina fell apart!! What an awesome answer to prayer!

EG was so pretty. Definitely the prettiest of the 3 restaurants in the dining rotation.

You need to take the cruise plunge! You can't go wrong with DCL!

Well join the club. I can't seem to keep up with my subscriptions either. It is so much easier when I'm not doing a TR of my own, so I know how you feel. I'm about 20 pages behind on yours. I sure wish I had more DIS time these days.

You Are On The Ship!!!!!

Isn't that such a wonderful feeling. I was giddy too. I am just reading slowly and taking it all in. I never did eat the lunch buffets at EG. I chose not to go there on embarkation day because I heard they had less kid friendly food, but we never had a chance later in the cruise to try it. 3 days is just too short!

Wow! You are fast!

Yes, the Dream is awesome. Simply awesome!

Rina's demise was quite miraculous! I have no doubt about that. It never ceases to amaze me how God even cares about the smallest details of our lives, like vacation weather!

I didn't realize that you had a choice of where to eat lunch that first day?? I thought they told you where to go and that's where you had to go. Oh well. When she told us to go to EG, I just assumed that we had been assigned to that restaurant. I had expected to go to Cabanas b/c it seems like that is where everyone else has gone. It didn't really matter though. It was good and we were just happy to be there. I would agree though that there wasn't a whole lot of "kid food" there. DD loves salads so she was fine b/c they had plenty of that.

3 days does fly by super fast!

This is exactly what I thought while I was reading your TR! . God is good!! I'm in the process of reading Jenseib's TR. I'm fascinated with the cruise and now it's fun to get your take on it. Looking forward to more!

I was behind but I just caught up!

I am so glad that the stupid hurricane fell apart. What a wonderful way to start your cruise!

Seeing my pictures make ME want to be on that ship now! I'm finding it really had to adjust to normal life again after this last trip.

Mickey was a hoot! I think he was just taking his time b/c the line wasn't long yet. I do love that mouse!

Amen to that. I am reminded more and more of that fact everyday.

Jen's TRs are always great! She's a real talent with the camera.

I think everyone is behind. It's just that time of year when everything is CRAZY!!

Yep, it was something to see how drastically different the weather actually was for our trip from what the forecast had predicted. Our cruise director even commented one night before the show about how shocked she was at the perfect weather we had when the forecast said it was going to rain pretty much all day everyday of our cruise.

I was a lurker on your last TR and am definitely signing on for this one. Disney Dream AND Caribbean Beach Resort?! Too lucky!! Love your ship pictures thus far, the ship looks beautiful!!

 

[momof2TNboys]

Love the pictures so far! The ship is beautiful. I am so glad the hurricane dissipated and you had great weather. Can't wait to read more!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Hey Rinky! You started! Sorry I have been missing. My dh's mom passed away a couple weeks ago so our life has been chaos and sadness.

I'm glad I found you. What a GREAT trip so far! I cannot wait to read more.

I am SO happy Rina fell apart!! What an awesome answer to prayer!

This is the first post that caught my eye as I was scrolling through very quickly at school today. Not recalling who Rina was, I wondered why in the world a supposedly nice Brook E would be happy that someone fell apart.

I read further, figured out that it was the storm, and forgave Brook.

So glad the weather cooperated.

I was sick on Sunday and sat and read your TR all day. I must be slow... I still haven't finished yet. You're at Disney now...I love all your pictures and great descriptions. Your dad cracks me up! I love all his faces! I couldn't help but worry about him when he was lost.
