Other Considerations

The Explorer’s club provides a vast array of fun activities to keep the children busy so that you can just sit back and relax. Hours are 9:30 am – 10:00 pm daily, for children 3 to 12 years old. Children are kept in a secure environment, where parents are required to sign them in and out, and to carry a pager in the event their child needs them. Believe me, your child won’t want to leave!

• Large, secure playground area

• Ocean trampoline

• Sand castle contests

• Story telling and music

• Arts and crafts

• Indoor game room

I am attaching a wedding guide that I received from the wedding coordinator at dreams PA. I think it answers a lot of the questions related to weddings and hopefully will be helpful for some of you. I am in constant contact with the wedding coordinator at dreams PA and will continue to update this thread as I get more information. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Hi Jill,

 

Thanks for the info. Do you know the largest wedding party that they can service? From your first outline, I'm reading only 60 people for the ceremony & 90 for the reception. Just wondering as I'm expecting a maximum guest list of 100 people. Dreams PA is on my list of final resorts but I'm wondering if they can accomodate. Please let me know. Thanks!

[badrianne]

Thanks for starting this tread! I'm getting married at DPA 5.15.2010.

[vlynnw]

You have to have at least 150 posts in order to start downloading attachments. Post your heart out, LOL! The attachment pretty much has the same information on weddings that DPA has on their website. Also if you contact the resort they will probably send it to you too!

TA Jill: I just sent you a PM I hope you can help me

[echo2_62]

Thanks Ginalyn!! I knew the downloading had something to do with points or posts, but didn't quite know for sure so the link helped! I could spend WAY too much time going through this forum so I've been limiting myself a bit, but I guess that's just a habit I'll have to change
