Join me for another Mom/ Daughter trip report!
Cruise dates were June 12-17, 2011.
We had a wonderful time on the Dream! BEST VACATION EVER!!!!!
Quick introduction of us:
I am a single mom to DD. We love to travel together. Here's a couple of pics from the party so you can "meet" us.

This was a trip to celebrate DD's 16th birthday, which would actually be while we're on the cruise. I decided to have her party, which mainly consists of family, the same night we were leaving. Our Amtrak would be scheduled to leave at 1:44am!! So I tried to do what I could to keep us up & going till time to go. The party was 7pm-9pm, then it would be time to get on the road to Columbia, SC, which is 2 hours drive. The party extended on till after 10pm, so were rushing out the door! This is the main common factor of everything about this trip...LAST MINUTE!!!
So on this TR, I will be doing reports on not only the cruise, but also
*16th "early" birthday party
*our trip on the Amtrak
*our hotel in the Disney area
*day at MK
*Downtown Disney
*hotel at Port Canaveral
*Cocoa Beach, FL
*the DREAM CRUISE!
**and a special edition of WHY we had to extend our trip an extra day!!!
(You will just have to stay tuned for this one!)
Adding a disclaimer here: I will also be adding the "bad" portions of this trip. I wouldn't really call it horrible or anything, but after reading some negative reviews and points of the Dream, I will be adding in some of my "not so magical" moments. Don't worry, though, wasn't enough to ruin the trip or anything, but enough to where I'd like to share with my Dis-friends.
So join in with me, as I get this party started!
