Never sailed the Fantasy...How did you like that ship?
Only done Wonder and Magic between 2001 - 2007. This will be our 8th cruise booked. Looking forward to see what changes done on the Magic.

Loved the Fantasy so many options onboard both day and night to do. Adult only area is huge on deck too

Another opening day booker here - 40th birthday present to myself (of course, the family benefits too) : )

So excited for this cruise! Cruised DCL for the first time this past February on the Dream, and was immediately hooked.

We are Mindy and Greg from upstate NY.
DS, Charlie, 5 (at sailing) and DD, Lucy, 3 (at sailing).
In-laws are sailing with us (were with us on the Dream too). Working on convincing other family and friends to join in too - might end up being a big group.
The kids and I have never been to WDW, looking forward to our first visit. (Hubby went with his family back in the 90's)

Oh, and I'm also a HUGE Halloween fan - love planning our family costumes every year. (yes, I'm THAT girl) haha
Would love to resurrect last year's costume for the cruise, (Ursula) but not sure I'd have room in my suitcase for the tentacles.

We booked opening day too. Too great to pass up coming to NYC and not having to worry about airfare. We are in Maine, so much more convenient. This will be our second DCL cruise (first was in November and already hooked).

Its my husband Brent and me, our two kids Aidon (11) and Bella (4) ages at time of cruise. And we are cruising with my parents Bill and Deb. This will be my kids and hubbys first trip to WDW. I haven't been since I was probably 14. Can't wait!

Hi All, my name is Amy
Another opening day booker here. I am so excited that this will be a Halloween on the High Seas! We have been to WDW for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party three times, and we love it. I can't wait to see what Disney cooks up for our High Seas Halloween! I'm already researching costumes, and room and door decorations.
We previously sailed the Magic out of NYC in 2012 to Canada. We had such a great time we never left the ship when it was in port. We'll be off this ship though. Can't wait to get back to WDW, we were just there in December 2014. The kids know about the cruise, but I am going to try to keep the day at WDW a secret as long as possible. We've never been to Castaway Cay, since we sailed north last time.
Our family lives on Long Island in NY, and is DH and I, 3 DSs who will be 13, 12 and 9 at cruise time, and DD who will be 7. We booked adjoining cabins on 2. We will be sailing with my sister, BIL and niece, at least one co-worker and her family, and two school families. I'm trying to sell everyone I know on this. Maybe we can get a bus to drop us off at port....
I'm looking forward to participating in a FE exchange, we loved it last time. I'm already pinning ideas on Pinterest.

 

[amosthefamous]

Mindy-Last time we cruised from NY, I used 2 storage bins to carry on room decorations and FE gifts. Maybe you could fit your tentacles in there!

 

[beccas302]

We booked opening day too!
I'm Rebecca, my husband is Eric, and our son Andrew (will be 18 at sailing). We're from just outside Albany NY and are super excited to be taking our 2nd Disney cruise. Our first was on the Wonder way back in 2004.

HI Doc... Some of us had requested to add this thread to the meets...just waiting for it to happen!

Hi Everyone,
This is going to be one great cruise.
Originally my DW and I booked an Alaska cruise while on the Disney Magic last month. When we heard that the Magic would be sailing from NY we cancelled our Alaska cruise and booked this one. I was on the phone with DCL at exactly 8:00 last Tuesday morning. I was on hold for 24 minutes before a CM was able to help me. He said the cruises out of NY were going fast. We were so happy to be able to get our favorite room. These cruises must be very popular.
I went on the DCL site this morning and the price for the same Cat. 5B room that we reserved had gone up $1000.00... I couldn't believe it.
We are so looking forward to cruising out of NY. We had done the NY to Canada sailing back in August of 2012 and one of the best parts was sailing out of NY harbor, past the Statue of Liberty and under the Verrazano Bridge. It's something you do not want to miss.
This will be our third time on the Magic and our eleventh Disney cruise. We have been blessed enough to have cruised on all four ships.
We are so looking forward to this cruise and also meeting all of you.

Oh, Boardwalk Gal, we are DVC also...since 2003. We call the Boardwalk and the Grand Floridian Home.

I will get into it more later but we do the shirts for our group. We custom design them and let people have them for whatever it costs to make them. Good to see many cruisers going on this NY cruise.
