Congrats! We will be on the 1/5/13 sailing for our honeymoon.

I'll try this again- typos last time

We (myself and fiance Gary) will be sailing on 1/5/13 for our honeymoon. We are super excited! We sailed on The Fantasy Eastern Caribbean this past June with my kids and our extended family. We had such a great trip that we decided to honeymoon on the Fantasy.

I just cashed in my rewards for Disney Visa and Discover so that I can pay off a large chuck of this cruise. This will pay for more than half of our cruise so I am really happy.

As of Friday we are at 120 days out! That means my family can start to book our reservations for everything. Also if you want to join the fish extender group please do so. I am trying to log on and update as often as I can but my job has kept me pretty busy especially now that the Cadets are back at the Air Force Academy.
Here is my sad attempt to get people talking about the cruise: What excursions are people thinking about taking if any? What is a must take for you or your family on your disney cruises?

We are wanting to go to the "Dolphin Discovery" :-D Since my son Jordan will be almost 1 year old by then i think he will enjoy it

Last year me and my dad went on the horse back riding excursion in Cozumel, That was fun since i LOVE horses!

My husband wants us to try the "Interaction with Sting Rays" But im so scared from The Crocodile Hunter :'( R.I.P Steve Erwin <3

But anyways, Still trying to figure out if anyone here is in me and my husbands age group

Definetly want to do a Mayan Ruins tour...nothing but laying around CC though, lol! Not sure about what else. Thinking of doing a private beach excursion.

Just thought I would get a DCL fix for our January cruise. I went to "Port Canaveral Webcam" site. Selected West Turning Basin. This gave a live feed of the cruise terminals. Although Fantisy's sister ship The Dream is in port it was nice to see her. She is center stage. Warm temp and partly sunny skys. Can't wait for January 4 but must.

Can any of the platinum/concierge folks let me know if there are any CC cabanas still available?

When we talked to the concierge today they said they had a waiting list already. Some how my family ended up with three cc cabanas because each reservation made one for the other and then some how concierge made one for us also. So we released the two extras today and concierge said that the wait list was growing.

I just checked the CC cabanas status, it shows at least three cabanas still being available, two of which are the ones we releases, cabanas 4 and 7.

Just found a great deal on plane tickets so we are good to go. I cannot wait until this weekend to book trip plans

Hi, all. I'm a newbie. First time cruising with my 83 yo Mom, 18 yo and 15 yo sons, and 2 yo daughter. I'm so psych'd!! Can you provide some education on fish extender gifts. Who participates.... What kind of gifts.... Is it just 1 gift for the cruise? Sorry for all the questions. I look forward to getting to know you!!

It's a great attempt!

Unless something pops up that we can not refuse to do then we will probably strike out on our own in each of the ports. The Western Caribbean ports are not our favorites for excursions. We prefer to just walk around the town and take photos ..... plus shop!

They are fairly safe and tame. The ones that Steve encountered were completely wild. Some of these may even have the barbs removed but not sure.

I wouldn't worry too much about age but I will say that if my child had a child you all would be close to that age. You will see us out and about even at night. If you get up before dawn you will definitely see me out taking photos.

The first cruise is always the most special ..... because it is the one that starts your addiction!

I think we should set up a meet! Where we pick a space on the ship one day for ALL of us to meet :-D
We've done it on previous cruises and it really helped me and my brother make friends!
