Disney Fantasy - 7 night - Western Caribbean - 20 August 2016

[Johanna Baumeister]

I corrected our names on the list below. Unfortunately Steven and I will be unable to go as we found out that I am pregnant and will be 24 weeks the week the cruise sails. It is a very big blessing, we were shocked it happened as quickly as it did! I hope you all enjoy your trip! I have my family's room numbers as they would still be interested in participating in the fish extenders. Their room numbers are 8648 and 8643. Thanks guys! Hope your trip is magical.

Hi Jennifer, welcome to this cruise. I'm sure that we will need a relaxing cruise after spending a week in the parks first

We will be at the parks the week prior to the cruise as well. We are staying at the Polynesian , where are you staying.

 

[kkeegin]

My family of 4 will be on the cruise, my husband and I and our 2 children ages 5 and 7. We are celebrating my 48th birthday and my son's 5th.

I am interested in doing the fish extenders. I need to read more threads to understand fully. Can't wait for the cruise!

Johanna that's wonderful, congratulations. I hope you have the opportunity for many other cruises in the future
I've updated the names in the first post.

We've booked a villa between Downtown Disney and Universal, we'll need somewhere quiet to recover from the jet-lag

Hi Everybody! I'm happy to find this group. I don't know exactly where to post but I will also be on the Disney Fantasy on August 20. It will be our second Disney Cruise on the Fantasy. The first one was the 7-Day Eastern Caribbean last August. My family was always about the Parks but now we are into the DCL. Looking forward to Disney cruising again and participating in the Fish Extender fun!

 

[Kaizen]

Welcome Georgia! Our last cruise was the Eastern as well Looking forward to meeting you !

 

[allisonmilam7]

Our 12 year old daughter would love to chat with some other girls her age prior to the cruise. If you have a daughter around her age that is looking to meet another girl before the cruise please PM me.

 

[allisonmilam7]

Under 100 days until we are cruising. We are in the double digit countdown now!!

Sending you a PM!

Booking excursions tonight! What's everyone planning on?

Hi everyone.

Little bit late to the party considering I will be up at 5am to start booking excursions etc. My family consisting of me Kerry, DH, DD19, DD14 and grandparents will be joining you on the Fantasy on the 20th. We have sailed on the Dream before, just two 3 nighters to test the waters. We were due to sail August last year but had to postpone (Disney were very understanding and helpful) due to my father having cancer but now he's all well and looking forward to our Cruise so this has been long time coming. We are regulars to visiting the World though having visited for "the holiday of a lifetime" ten years ago and now we visit every year, sometimes twice!

Having sailed the Dream before we are a little familiar with how things work but have never had time to fit it all in before hence the 7 nighter this time round. We have eaten in Palo but looking forward to the brunch this time round (if we can get a reservation). Last time DH and I did the couples treatment in the spa which was very good but we don't intend on trying this again instead I plan to wait to see what offers become available onboard as last time I had pre-booked some treatments which turned out cheaper once I was on board. This time I have promised my daughter we will try to attend some of the onboard quizzes and activities etc as we never seem to fit them in. DH and I love the Beverage Seminars and are looking forward to trying something new.

As mentioned I have two DD. DD14 is painfully shy and last time did not really visit The Edge, DD17 at the time loved Vibe but is now too old and will be looking at joining the 18/20 Social group onboard. DD19 is not shy at all and mixes very well with others and I have no worries she will entertain herself however anyone with daughters around 14 and are thinking of heading to Vibe please let me know and hopefully/maybe they can get to know each other a little first.

Good luck everyone and hope everyone gets what they want when they log on later.

 

[clymusa]

Time to check in (its actually broken right now :-( ) but you can book your activities!
We got Remy AND Palo! Woohoo!

Welcome Georgia. You're in the right place and I've added you to the list of cruisers in the first post.

 

[The Wombles]

Hi everyone.

Hi Kerry and welcome. I've added your family to the list of cruisers in the first post. I was up at 5am to book excursions and that suggests that you also live in the UK?

Hi Kerry and welcome. I've added your family to the list of cruisers in the first post. I was up at 5am to book excursions and that suggests that you also live in the UK?

Yes. Also in the UK, Robin Hood Country. It took a while to get both rooms checked in but managed to get an early port arrival time and the excursions I wanted except for a cabana but no surprise there

Hope everyone else got what they wanted too.

 

[tinkintraining]

Princess Meet and Greets and Frozen are now available to pre-book too. Just booked mine so thats one less job to do when I board. More time to sort out that mixology....

 

[allisonmilam7]

Just following up on FE list. Does someone have a spreadsheet with info of who is participating and cabin numbers etc?

 

[Precious1]

Hi all,
Our first Disney cruise is coming up on August 20th and we are super excited. "We" are myself, my DH, and our 2 DD's ages 11 & 8.

Can someone help with information regarding the fish extenders? I would love to have my family participate!

I'm Heather and my husband is William

 

[Precious1]

Are there any last minute Fish Extender opportunities available, or does anyone want to join together and start one?
