10/26/2013 - A Western Fantasy Halloween Cruise

[wilma-bride]

Hi all. Just booked and I wanted to see what kind of people We are going to be cruising with...

Be afraid, be very afraid

Only kidding. I might be biased but I think we have a great group of cruisers here. I can't wait to meet everybody

We have 4 going: Wife, 2 Daughters (10+8) and Me. I will try to get some time to see about a facebook page and read through these pages to see whats been going on.

Welcome to the group

Wow Janice! I just took another look at your document that's linked in your signature - it looks fantastic!

OH.MY.GOODNESS. JANICE! That doc is amazing! I need to hang out on the Dis more! If only I was as tech savvy as you I could have the disboards on my phone but alas I am not... It's a wonder I can even do fb without the assistance of my kids

Thank you both!! It has been a nice distraction for me when work gets a bit much . . . I have been adding menus all week

For a great and easy recap, you may want to click on the "Halloween on the High Seas" picture in dizney-cruiser's signature here on the DIS. It will take you to a great post where she's laid out all of the Ship and DIS events, port days and times, menus, etc.

It's a great place to start!

I know that the Facebook group gets checked a lot more than the DIS boards for this group but just in case anyone doesn't check facebook regularly - DCL has released new PAT's for our cruise - starting at 10:30am!

They are now in 15 min increments (instead of half hours).

My original time was 11am, when I logged in it showed 11:15am and I was able to change it to 10:30am.

This is great for all of you that arrive early at port. And it will smooth lines for us arriving later.

I cannot change my PAT but sure would like to desenbark later, around 2 pm

I'm so glad I wasn't cracking up after all - I could have sworn that 11am was my original time but when I logged in to both my bookings, they both said 11.15. I was confused and though maybe I'd misremembered (is that even a word) what time I'd booked. Still, managed to get 10.30 for both now so not a problem. The terminal is going to be overrun by DISers

Hi yellowangel, fellow UK DISer here

Yes, people will dress up for Halloween - on previous Halloween cruises, they have had a Halloween trail where the kids can collect candy and Halloween costume competitions (for kids and adults).

If you are on Facebook, there is a Facebook group for this cruise https://www.facebook.com/groups/2013.Fantasy.Halloween/

Just send a PM to the admin, Jessica, with your DIS name and request to join and she will approve you to join the group.

There are a few fun activities being organised by the group, which you might want to join

 

[yellowangel]

Hello! I just booked the GVT for the Fantasy and I am so excited!
My indecision has wasted a lot of time!! We have cruised twice before on DCL, but only on the Magic and Wonder. We are sooo excited to cruise on the Fantasy!!

Is it too late to join a FE group?

Anne, I am not sure if the FE groups are still open. Best thing to do is go to the FB page (as linked above) and request to join. All the info on the activities our group has arranged are listed there.

We have only cruised on the Magic and Wonder too so are very excited to see the Fantasy. Welcome to the group, this is going to be a great cruise

What do you mean, no dice? Was your request not approved? You need to message the Admin (Jessica) with your DIS name and then she will approve you to join. I am not participating in the FE so not following along with those posts, sorry.

 

[tow-mater-1]

Welcome Scrubba2 and Youcansmellit!

I just checked the fb group and the FE does close today. I will sign you up with your dis names so you don't miss out, just pm me your names and cabin #'s and ages of kids if any and I will edit it later.
