The new Dreams Tulum thread! (Post all DT Qs&As here)

[jennyjean7]

Hi everyone! I was trying to find that list of brides to add myself to the list, but couldn't find it :-(

 

So here is my post to introduce myself in the specific thread for the resort!

 

My wedding date is March 17, 2009...I didn't realize it was St Patty's day until after someone told me...then I saw that the resort will be serving green beer on that day

My niece and nephew are joining us for the big day, and at the time of the wedding they will be 5 and 7 years old. Lizet has told me numerous times that the kids are watched around the clock and most of the time parents have to drag them kicking and screaming back to the room.

I know from other vacations at all inclusive places I have taken, that kids that have been dropped off in "daycare" have tons of fun and there is always multiple adults around to keep the busy and happy!

I'm going to hopefully post my planning post soon too.

Hello there, like you I too have decided to ship the non-essentials to Dreams ahead of time. Packed in my mother and father's suitcase is the turqoise tulle for the gazebo and chairs, my turquoise table runners I had made up, and our sand ceremony vases.

Packed in a box to be shipped out within about a week from now are my wedding favors (tea light beach themed candles), shell placecard holders for the dinner, my starfish for the chairs, seashells (because apparently they are expensive to purchase in Tulum), garter, and wedding programs that my father made up. Basically the stuff we could life without, but would prefer not to is being shipped and the stuff mentioned above that is going with my parents is the stuff I couldn't imagine not having on the special day.

I hope the shipping stuff ahead of time works for everyone! I will let you all know after I get back!! Wedding is Nov 5/08.

Well, as I so often do, I changed my mind about shipping. We checked some prices and they seemed outrageous. I checked with my airline about baggage fees and found out they have no baggage fees at all for international flights! We each get two checked bags and a carry on, so hopefully we can fit all in 6 bags! If not, we will just have to pay for one extra bag which won't be bad. It probably would be so much easier to ship, but we are just going to lug it all with us! I def would like to know how the shipping turned out though.

We had a whole group of kids with us that week, 15 in total. Ages from 18 months to 17 years old. The kids that were between 5-8 went to the kids club and they loved it. They have different things for them to do all day. You don't have to sign them up for the whole day, it can just be for specific events that they have going on. My sister with the 18 month old hired a baby sitter for the night of the wedding and a few nights after and she was very comfortable with them.

I'll have to ask one of the mods to add you to our list, as the new rules don't allow us to edit our posts after more than an hour

That is very cool about the cruise-can you provide the info for me? I would love to do that one day with my guests

Can you tell me how to add an avatar pic? I've been trying but so far the technology has been lost on me!

[Madbride2009]

woops... someone's asked that before! Sorry... figured it out!
