All right my fellow cruisers, we are down to 160 days until our cruise!!!

Now let's get busy and start some conversations here so we can get to know each other a bit before the cruise!!!

 

[abitagirl916]

I'm not sure about everyone else, but my daughter and I are so very excited for this cruise. It's just about all we talk about these days. We can hardly wait!!!

Well I have a folder full of door magnets that I printed out recently, along with a few we are re-using from our last cruise. I think I will need to put some on the walls inside our stateroom too, because I think I have more than will fit on the outside of the door. Getting the magnets ready has really gotten me excited (well, more excited) for this cruise. How about everyone else?

Hello!!!! I am a bit late to the party, I know, but I wasn't sure if I could participate in this. I'm pretty shy and like to keep to myself, but the more I think about it, the more I realize this is my vacation and why shouldn't I try to get to know some of the people I will be spending a week with??? There are three of us, DH Ken, myself Ang, our DD Kalei (8 years old). This is our second cruise. We were lucky enough to go to Alaska in July 2014 on the Wonder and we LOVED IT!!!! We are from Canada, so my DD and I have never been anywhere even close to Florida. I have never been South of Idaho and Montana, my DD has never been in the Lower 48!! I have always dreamed of white sand and palm trees, so this is my Fantasy, my Dream, my Wonder, can't wait for the Magic!!!

to you and your family. You will love the Disney Fantasy. This will be our second time on the Fantasy and our 4th DCL cruise for my daughter and myself. I am Tammy and my daughter is Rachel (who is 26 years old, but mentally challenged, so really more like a young teen). She loves Disney and Disney cruises, and so do I. Don't know if you have had a chance to read prior pages, but we will be having a meet and greet on the first day of the cruise. Time is approximate for now, but will likely be at 1:30pm Eastern Time, the location to be determined later. And as you can see in my little picture here on the left, we love to dress up for pirate night and will be doing so again on this cruise. I see you sailed on the Wonder, which is the only DCL ship we have not sailed on. We sailed on the Magic in 2007 (with my late husband), on the Dream in 2011 and the Fantasy in 2013 (with my Aunt). Looking forward to this cruise and many, many more!

July 4th my window opened up. I was able to book Palo brunch for the 2nd sea day and Remy dinner for our last night, my 30th b-day. I also was able to get a 10:30am PAT and book nursery hours for my son. I saw quite a difference in availability this cruise- there was lots of it! I don't know if it's that we have a not too full cruise or just not many Gold, Plat or Concierge. We'll see I guess. Here's hoping the rest of my family can secure the same timing for brunch!!

Congrats on being able to book everything you wanted. I'm Silver so won't be able to book until July 19th, but I'm not going after any Palo or Remy ressies. I also am not looking to get an early PAT. I want a PAT of about 12 or 12:30. I find with a later PAT I don't have to wait long before we can board, which is good because my daughter doesn't do well with long waits at the terminal.

I'm interested in joining the FB group but could not find the group name in the thread. I am brand new to the DIS board website and a little clueless! Lol! My husband just informed me that he booked our cruise in October as a surprise and now I'm looking to get as much information and helpful tips as possible.

Welcome Tweet!!! Glad you found us!!! Please see first post to sign up for FE and Meet and Greets..

Welcome!! We are so happy you found us!! The FE here is the same as the one on fb... I excited for your 1st Disney cruise.. Last year was our first and I felt like I was going to pass out from excitement when I was on board and going up the steps to the aqua duck!! Haa haa

Hi everyone and welcome to our newest members!!! Sorry I have been absent!! I am not getting notifications of new posts so I just thought nothing was going on over here... Well we are down to double digits and I know we are all soooo excited!!! Still waiting on Disney to give us the time and location for the meet and greet, but will update the first post as soon as I know. You are all welcome to come whether or not you signed up on Facebook.... Disboards does not allow links to signups so I cannot post it here, but the sign up is really just to give Disney a rough estimate of how many we will have and not a requirement. If you have children attending the meet and greet with you and they like dolls or super heroes we will have a couple tables set up for them with coloring pages and stickers and such, have them bring their favorite doll or action hero so they can meet kids their age to hang out in the clubs with during the cruise!!! Send me a message if you need any assistance

I have not been getting notifications of post either. do I need to set it up for notifications again? I thought there must not be anything going on. I did send in the google doc for the fish extender and sent a PM as well to check on. This is only our 2nd cruise so I didn't want to miss any deadlines or info on fish extender - kids are counting on. Our bag has been on the coat closet door for 2 years...since the first and only Disney cruise we've done and we can't wait. We only did 4 nights before and it will be my daughter's 10th birthday while sailing...so excited!! So, just wanted to make sure fish extender info got in and wondered when that would close and info would come on w/ family information. Working on my ideas!!!
