Sadly, it's 2012, not 2013...

Got off the Dream yesterday and booked this while we were on board. Can't wait to do a Halloween cruise! It is me (Holly, 26) and the BF (Jonathan, 32), originally from the UK but now in Tennessee. It will be my 7th and his 8th cruise on DCL and by then our second time on the Fantasy - we are booked on the ship in March too.

When we priced it out on board, a verandah was only $300 more than an 11C so we booked a 6B GTY... And from the look of the site the last 6B price point! I really wanted a 5E but they are all GTY... And I don't want to be disappointed by being upgraded from that cat.

Hey there and welcome to the group. We are from the UK but (sadly) don't live in Tennessee We are currently booked in a 5E but may have to switch as my adult daughter wants to join us and the room we have booked (7194) only sleep 3

Hi everyone!

Unfortunately, we won't be going on the is cruise anymore. Since we have done 4 western caribbean itineraries and have tired of them, we decided to switch our DCL and WDW so that now we are cruising first (the cruise one week before this one is an eastern) to be followed by WDW on Halloween.

Have a great cruise and Happy Halloween!!

Shannon

After 10 cruises pre-children, we are have booked our first family cruise on the Fantasy! We are in 6094 - cruising with DH Glenn, D - Abby (will be 6), S- Nathan (will be 5) new to DISforums, and would like be a part of the FE and meets? Seems like a lot of fun! Used to do CruiseAddicts and cruisecritic in my pre-children days!

I just can't wait to cruise again! Its been a long 8 years since we've been on a cruise - the song of the waves against the ship - the stars - the moon so bright and so close you think you can touch it! *sigh* Just can't wait!

Welcome to the DIS and to our cruising group

We are excited to be joining this group. I am Ziva (49 at time of sailing) and my DH is Armand (he will be 50!). We just spent Halloween in WDW and it was wonderful! We actually got married on Halloween, so we will be celebrating our 23rd anniversary. It's been quite a few years since our last (2nd) cruise, so we thought we'd change it up a bit and jump on the Fantasy. I'm guessing our next cruise will be the Dream being we've done the Magic and Wonder.

Not sure if we will be joining the FE yet. I'll get back to you on that.

What are we most looking forward to? Just complete relaxation! No work, no family drama, no NOTHING! Also, planning a couples massage

Favorite Character? For DH it's Donald. For me, it's hard to narrow down. It's between Chip & Dale, Minnie and Daisy.

What can't I leave home without? Camera! Don't want to forget all those magic moments.

Karaoke songs? Well, personally, while singing in the car I think I sound just like Barbara Streisand or Celine Dion. My DH thinks I sound like someone is trying to kill a cat! So, I think we are just going to leave this question alone.

I guess I'll go sign up on the FB page as well. Looking forward to meeting everyone

kareoke- never tried it, i think if i did people might jump overboard

Ha! That might explain why the ship seemed so empty after pirate night on our last cruise - what do you reckon Wendy and Char

Hello all

Another one who's on this cruise. We moved an OBB a few weeks ago but been busy with other vacations and work so haven't signed up here yet.

There will be 2 of us, Me (Jane) and DH (Heath). We're from the UK too. This will be our 8th DCL cruise (unless we pick up a last minute GTY in the Med Summer 2013). Most recent cruise was to Alaska on the Wonder at the end of August.

We booked this cruise because we wanted to go on the Fantasy, DH wanted to go to Epcot Food and Wine and we haven't done a Western before. We didn't even realise it was a Halloween cruise until after we were booked.

Not sure about FE or chocolate exchanges etc. Will depend on who we book flights with (and their baggage allowance )

We are booked in a 5E GTY and are trying to persuade a couple of sets of friends from previous DCL cruises (who are also Diser's) to join us aswell.

And in the spirit of getting into things...

Most looking forward to? Having been on all 4 ships at least once. (and of course Palo souffle)

Favorite Character? Goofy is my main man

What can't I leave home without? Kindle and Camera

Karaoke songs? Over my dead body

The current FE list is being rebooted on FB as a living document that anyone in the group can edit to their information.

Unfortunately, there is no document capability here on DIS. So, please head over to FB an add your information to that list.

Or someone can volunteer to be the go-between.

I just read that Animator's Palate has two different shows. What are they? Is it the Turtle talk and the animation that comes to life? Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.

Easy answers. Yes and Yes. Both are great fun.
