Blank Name Tag for your lanyard.

 

[Ottes4]

We will be joining the group too! Me, DH, DD8 & DD4 (at time of sailing)

Can't wait! We are from Northern Illinois, so I am currently looking out my window at over 10 inches of SNOW! I can only dream of Castaway Cay and my favorite Konk Cooler! Anyone actually have a countdown started yet?

Looking forward to getting to know everyone. Melissa

 

[Disneyholic]

!

I notice your countdown clock is a day ahead of mine. I have mine programmed for the 29th. Are you getting into Florida a day ahead of the cruise?

 

[philatiger]

Just got back from the November 28, 2009 7 night Magic cruise and booked onboard for this cruise. Love, love, love CC so the double-dip is a no brainer. Going on the Dream will fulfill having gone on all of the ships, so far and then we can rebook onboard for the next new ship. LOL Booked stateroom #6578, deck 6 midship.

It will be me (Bev-in my 50's) and DH (Jim-in his 60's).

Hi Bev,

Were you with part of the nanaheads roll call? We were supposed to be on the cruise you were on but got a really good deal on NCL so we switched. Hope you had a great time.

 

[Disneyholic]

Hi Bev,

Were you with part of the nanaheads roll call? We were supposed to be on the cruise you were on but got a really good deal on NCL so we switched. Hope you had a great time.

I came to the Nanaheads Thread late. I was not a Nanahead. The only original poster from that group, from what I understand, was jd99 (Jeff), We did get to meet him & his family.

Yes we had a great time on the cruise. All the Christmas decorations were up, the weather was perfect (in the 80's all week), and the seas were smooth except for Thursday into Friday.

 

[mcraft17]

GreatWhiteNorth - that sounds cool. Just PM me and we can get to know each other. With as fast as 2009 when 2011 will be here before you know it

Another Louisville person on the boat! My DH thinks I am nuts getting all excited about the cruise when it is soo far away. He doesn't get that excited till it is about a month away.

 

[flechette]

Hi All!

Just got off our first cruise on the Disney Wonder 12/13 - 12/17 2009 and we booked this as our next cruise while aboard. Castaway Cay was hubbys' favorite part of the cruise, so when I mentioned there were 5 night cruises that doubled dipped there, he was all for it

+ our 2010 vacation schedule is kinda full so we had to put off til 2011


It's just the 2 of us, tho maybe some friends or family may join up. Also hubby is military - Army National Guard Active Duty, so everything is a bit up in the air til we actually get aboard the boat

We're booked for a 5c on deck 7: cabin 7060. It's a connecting cabin which isn't needed by us; but it is closer to being mid ship, it's near but not right by the elevators and stairs, and there's no cabins across from us. We were in a cat 6 (cabin 6072) on the Wonder w/ pretty much all the same attributes and were estastically happy w/ it~

<cough> tho I'm not sure about all those extra decks on the Dream We found ourselves using the stairs alot since we were so centrally located-- infact I lost 3 pounds on the cruise thoses extra floors on the Dream may kill me LOL~

Also maybe not too thrilled that the cabins are alot smaller.... 203 sq ft on the Dream vs 268 sq ft on the Wonder~

Hello all!

DH and I are joining you for this cruise!
DH just booked a few days ago (it was my Christmas present-isn't he a great husband) and we both are very excited! We will ONLY cruise Disney and are currently counting down for the May 2010 Double Dip! We LOVE CC so we choose to do the DD Cruises!

It is just DH (Chris) and me (Jacquelyn). We live about 30 min North of Philadelphia.

We are happy to be booked on this cruise and I hope to get to know some of you before we set sail on the Disney Dream! We are booked into room 7082.

I surprised my Mom with the cruise Christmas morning. I couldn't keep the secret anymore. I was hoping that I would be able to hold out until next Christmas. Oh well, cats out of the bag now!

Awesome, it looks there there will be a few of us Philly-area folks on this cruise.

Hey Lessa, I've been checking your May '09 trip report every few days for updates, I've enjoyed reading. My goal is to get us into the trip report you'll write for this cruise.

It should be a fun report to write with so many Disers onboard.

 

[NenaCruise]

Hi Thinking of booking this cruise for me and my son JOsh (13 at time of cruise)....graduation present from Elementary to Junior High LOL...NOOOOOOOOOOOO..... can't they stay little anymore!

I'll book within 2 weeks.....talk to you soon....first time I'm planning on keeping this a secret....don't know for how long though!

 

[shannonetherton]

HI guys! We booked this trip while onboard the Magic for Christmas! It will be my husband Tony and Daughter Emily (11). This will be our seventh Disney cruise and I cannot wait until the Dream! I just have to adjust to five days instead of seven...... oh well it will stil be fun. I actually had to cancel the Med sailing right as I booked this one so this is my consolation trip!! That Barcelona airfare is just a killer for someone who can drive to Port Canaveral. When we get closer I hope we will get an FE exchage going. We did that for this last tirp and it was a blast. I am actually sitting here looking at some of my stuff right now!! Look forward to talking to you all in the future!!

 

[shannonetherton]

Oh sorry we are in Atlanta!

 

[mguptill]

Have a great cruise.

 

[mguptill]

The double dip is still our favorite out of the 4 we have been on. We hope to hit this one also.

 

[disneyohbear]

Hi..Our extended family of 10 booked this cruise today. We are so excited. Most of us have cruised Disney before but its been several years so we are happy to get back to Disney. Need to go update my siggy and add this one!!!

 

[philatiger]

Welcome aboard Byrums.

 

[mommyarewegoingback]

We are officially joining all of you. We just got off the Nov 14th 7 day western double dip, which was our first cruise. We love the double dip at Castaway Cay, can't wait for the new boat and CC again! I have to admit I couldn't decide between this and the 6/7 cruise, but this group thread convinced me! We had a very active group on the 11/14 cruise. It totally made our trip meeting people ahead of time. I'm totally in for FE's. I know it's early, but when the time comes I can help out and organize if noone else is.

It's going to be me (Virginia), DH (42), DS (9) 10 at time of cruise and DD (6) 7 at time of cruise. We're also from a suburb of Atlanta (Lawrenceville), GA. We are on Deck 6, room 6508.
