From Fantasyland to the Fantasy: We came, we saw, we kicked it's AFT! UPDATED 1/10! - Page 18 - The DIS Discussion Forums

I am getting excited for the actual CRUISE portion of your TR! I will say that the Ron Juan is very beautiful and while I would love to stay there, we just don't arrive that early for our cruises, so don't think we will get to experience it. However, if we ever DO get down there early (maybe if we do a 4 night cruise) I will definitely stay there (and not go to Fishlips!).

Anxiously waiting for more....

Hey Jen-
So glad you are back! I sure remember that stormy night- what is normally an under 3 hr drive from South Florida to PC turned into a 4+ hr drive.. Wish we could have made it! We settled for take out at the Italian restaurant nearby. Can't wait for more!!

Jen,

I remember when you posted those pictures of the Fantasy coming into the Port. I was so excited that I got tears in my eyes when I saw them. Those pictures still make me misty eyed even today. What wonderful memories I carry with me of our cruise and our wonderful group..... Memories that will last a lifetime. Can't wait for more of your awesome trip report.

Great TR as usual!!!! It's like a great book, I can't put it down! Looking forward to reading more.

Catching up... How amazing to see the Fantasy sail right past you.

If its any consolation the food looked good via pics!

Cant wait to see you on the fantasy!!!

Hey gang please forgive me if I am sporadic here a bit again over the next couple of weeks. I am finally moving into my new job this weekend and have to do 2 weeks of training and I will not have my usual days off. I am also finishing up an application for a different new job before I switch over. So I have been super busy. Not too busy to not Disney though. We went to the MK yesterday and it was absolutely the busiest day I have ever been there- EVER. And we have gone plenty of holidays, all times of the year, even 4th of July, and Christmas Week and this was worse. It was total insanity.

Back soon, thanks for your patience. I am going to try to get something up this week before I make the move but I have to finish the application first!

Jen

jenseib · 01-21-2013, 08:23 PM

Take your time. I think the new fantasyland is bringing lots of people.

kalel29 · 01-22-2013, 11:58 AM

Awesome trip report! You hit the nail on the head by waking up early to watch the Fantasy pull into port. Gave me goosebumps. Would never have thought to do that.

I will try to do so WHEN its our turn in June.

LOL Janice, I'll see what I can do. Today is my first day off after working seven straight at the new place. The new hours are weird and the new days off mean I am busier then ever on the weekend.

On the bright side I have an interview for another new position next Monday. Wish me luck and I'll see if I can tease you guys some more tonight or (more likely) tomorrow with a little bit more to read and look at! LOL.

threeiscrazy · 02-04-2013, 05:54 PM

While we are waiting for Jen, when is your 2013 cruise Janice? Or actually I should be asking what you are thinking about for 2014 as I have our 2013 scheduled.

We are scheduled for Halloween again - but not sure if we are going or going to push it off . . .

When is your cruise Sheri?

Looks like I won't get to cruise next year . . . Linda turns 50 and she wants to be on an Island . . .
