We opened the door to our room and low and behold……….the bags are still there! We stopped a bellhop in the hallway and asked if our room number was on his list of luggage pick up that morning. He looked, and of course we weren’t on there. So he put our room number down, took our tip, and assured us he would make sure our bags got on the ship. I am SO glad I double checked because being stuck on a ship with no belongings for a week would not have been good! I made Todd hike it back to the front desk with me so we can figure out what the heck happened. Of course, all they could do was apologize and told us that who ever checked us in should have put our room on “the list”. Whatever, I’m just glad we double checked! Let’s hurry up and get on the Disney ship so we can have some real service! Ugh!
We made our way down to the Disney’s Magical Express transportation center to catch the first shuttle to Port Canaveral. Finally, some friendly faces! We began boarding at 9:30am.
It was about a 40 minute ride to the cruise dock. As soon as the ship came into view I got really excited! She’s beautiful! We’ve been on the Magic and the Wonder, but this will be our first time on the Dream. I couldn’t wait to go exploring!
We were the first bus there (yes, I planned it that way) and the terminal was nearly empty! We got checked in within minutes and sat down and people watched. It was so great seeing all the kids expressions when Captain Mickey showed up in the terminal!
The ship coming into view!

Entrance into the lobby. Just gorgeous! The crew officers dressed in white announces each family as they embark. Yes, all 3000+ passengers. It’s the Disney difference! We were announced as Mr. And Mrs. Hutchinson!
First onboard equals nearly empty ship! The Aquaduck hydro tube is fantastic!

The day’s navigator…time to plan!
