Here's a link to my write up of our excursions from my trip report for the Western Caribbean itinerary. Disney Fantasy 7-night Western Caribbean Star Wars Day at Sea 1-7-2017

Star Wars Day at Sea We did not book this cruise because of the SWDAS, but we were certainly excited that it was part of our cruise. We've seen the movies, played the video games and done the rides at Hollywood Studios. Others in our party weren't big SW fans and used this day as an...

Fish Extenders Tip: Think flat for FE gifts! Door Magnets are my suggestion. Tip: Be careful bringing food as an FE gift. We did Fish Extenders (FE) again on this cruise. We had an active Facebook group with a great admin who organized FE groups on a Google Spreadsheet. She kept groups to...

Yes, they have Kinder Eggs! I know because we got some! You can also get water, Mexican Coke, juice boxes (mango, peach, etc.) The sign says it's called MEGA. I think this is the place: https://goo.gl/maps/XDjrZKDzHyu

Cindianne, thanks for reading! Excursions: Having traveled to the islands pre-kids, we were in more of a mood to relax than do hard-core sightseeing. Cozumel, Mexico. Tip: A full-service beach club is a great way to spend the day in Cozumel. For our first port, we wanted to get some beach...

This is a trip report for the Disney Fantasy 7-night Western Caribbean Star Wars Day at Sea cruise departing on January 7, 2017. This was my second Disney cruise, also on the second cruise on the Fantasy. You can check out my trip report for that cruise for a lot of my original experience and...

Thank you all for the positive feedback. It's been six months since our first Disney cruise and we're still remembering it fondly. We're looking forward to our next one. Our family was so impressed with the fun time that we had that the next cruise may have a bunch more folks along. That...

My son may have innocently placed a couple of small items that he fancied in the bottom of the stroller while Mommy and Daddy were shopping that may have been noticed only after we got back to the room (with all of our purchases). I don't recall if these items were returned.

With a 4yr old and 1yr old, the toughest part was dinner. It was just hard for them to sit through a 4 course meal. It was stressful to keep them occupied while trying to hurry through the meal. I'm looking forward to cruising again when they are older and we can get the later seating so they...

I guess I was thinking of that flashback episode where Ben first goes to the island as a kid. The idealistic 70s era. It's a small island. Lots of low buildings with a simple/rustic appearance. There's a watch tower and an airstrip. Could be just me. If you go, let me know what you think.

Good point. We had a meetup on the first day where we spread the word. The coordinator of our group also posted the whole list along with any changes ( there are a couple) on their door. We did have a couple late arrivals that caught up with us on the last day. If I did it again, I would...

This scenario happened to us. We booked 8B GTY and were assigned room 5018 on Fantasy which has an HA layout. We called right away and were firm that it would not work for our 1 yr old. We were firmly told that we could either downgrade or upgrade to another available room but they had...

In my example, I was quoted $500 more for a 4D room when I booked and paid $770 more for a 4A at the port. I don't know what the cost of a 4A was when I booked.

I think we are on the October 1st sailing. There is a good chance that we will reschedule to 2015 when my daughter is hopefully potty trained and can go to the Oceaneer Club.

#1. What catagory did you pay for? 8b GTY (please make sure you put the catagory you paid for and not the catagory you were assigned. For *GT reservations please put whether it was IGT, OGT or VGT). #2. Which Ship? Fantasy #3. Number of Nights? 7. Eastern Caribbean #4. Month/Year of Sailing...

Here's my experience from our Fantasy cruise this month. Our son has serious allergies to tree nuts and shell fish. We carry an epipen at all times just in case. He also has a mild dairy allergy that will give him digestive problems, but will not cause shock. We handle it well by checking...

Here's what experienced on the Fantasy. On the afternoon of embarkation, I went to Guest Services who sent me down to La Piazza. All of the mixology classes were booked by that time but all other tastings were open. It was tough to find times that worked well but I chose a Rum tasting and a...

Ha! Good point. GROSS WEIGHT 4300 lbs. CURB WEIGHT 3360 lbs I think we've got a couple of years before the kids tip the scales.

It was a great room. The Stateroom Host is a reserved guy but he observed us, adapted to our routine, and took good care of us. We did our best to straighten up and not give him too much dirty laundry to deal with. Dirty diapers were enough.

Thanks for the feedback. Have a great trip!
