What are you most looking forward to doing on board? This could be a Disney activity or it could be your own.

Is there anything you want to try that you haven't tried before?!

I don't think I can pick one thing...but here are the top few. First, I am so excited to watch DD watch the shows. We learned on the last cruise that she LOVES musicals/shows and have since been to quite a few. We do need to be close to the front for her to be able to see the action though, so DH and I need to figure out who is going to stand in line for 30-45 minutes to make sure this happens. Second, I cannot wait for the spa. Last time, DH and I did the Ultimate Indulgence and it was heavenly! DD was 2 at the time, and it felt like neither of us had been able to take a breath and relax in 2 years, so it was just what we needed. I think we are going to try to do this again. Even though life is a little more manageable now, it was a great way for us to reconnect. The last thing is something I will not be doing...working/checking the BlackBerry/etc. Going out of the country has its benefits!

I feel like there are quite a few new things, some of which come with sailing on the Fantasy (instead of the Magic). We will definitely do the Midship Detective game - I think DD will love this! Also trying to do BBB so DD can get all gussied up for formal night - I may also splurge and get an updo if time allows. On our last cruise, I'm not sure where we ate lunch or breakfast, but it was never in any of the dining rooms, so we might try that. Finally, the kids clubs will be new to us too...hoping DD enjoys some time in there too!

Thanks for asking these questions! They have allowed me to daydream a little on my lunch hour!

Next question, for the weekend perhaps:

What are you most looking forward to doing on board? This could be a Disney activity or it could be your own.

Is there anything you want to try that you haven't tried before?!

I'm looking forward to quality time on our verandah. I've been a balcony snob since Day 1 (probably because I'm an introvert and this gives me everything!). I know for sure we'll play the Mid Ship Detective Agency game, because we had fun with the one on the Dream. And I'm sure you'll see me on the Aquaduck!

Anyone else? Shows? Clubs?

I am really looking forward to getting dressed up and FINALLY getting a family portrait taken.

I am also looking forward to sitting out on the balcony (after the kids go to sleep) and watching the water while having a nice glass of wine with my DH.

I am looking forward to time with my only DD its our last cruise before she will go off to college. I will also enjoy my best friend (she has had a ruff year) and has never been on a cruise ship before, cant wait to see her eyes ( It will be like a kid at Christmas) and she deserve a good vacation. I will also have another friend and her family with her mom and dad (they have never been on a cruise before) I love seeing the Disney cruiseships and cruise thru newbee eyes. Cant wait to sit on my verandah, I love being on my verandah. Way to go on your running I sulute you I am more like the lap counterlol

Okay, let's change it up a bit...

What's your favorite hobby?

I don't have exactly one!

I'm a reader, so you'll always find me with library books, my Kindle, or reading library books on my Kindle. I have a recumbent exercise bike (I've had some interesting knee problems and now have a fabulous scar), so I can ready while I work out. It's great motivation.

I'm also a knitter! I'll probably pack 3-5 projects for our cruise and, if I'm lucky, I'll work on one of them. Can't run out though, you see!

Cross-stitching is my other hobby. That doesn't travel quite as well, though.

No problem. Seems easy to far


Hobbies..... hmmm, what's that? Just kidding. I don't get to my hobbies too often now that I have little ones. But one upon a time I was an avid scrapbooker, photographer, baker.

 

[thrillfan]

WELCOME Interrobang My hobby lately is doing my FE gifts for our cruise (I think that I am addicted to makeing FE gifts ) Do you think that I need help?

 

[cblack]

Favorite hobby is photography and scrapbooking. With DD, I have been able to keep up with photography, but I am about 4 years behind on scrapbooking...yes, that is supposed to say years

 

[jilljill]

My hobby/addiction is traveling. We are also collectors of many things, but have scaled back in buying a lot the last 4 or 5 years. But art, especially Disney art, is still a big passion of ours.

Hey, Kim, thanks for setting this up. I know this was discussed earlier, but thought I would open it up again. How does everyone feel about an adult facebook page? I know there was a very controversial thread on the DCL board about this and think we would need "ground rules" to make sure everyone is included and informed. What is everyone thinking?

 

[brookepi]

I personally would like a FB page. I think some ground rules would be a good idea as well.
