So glad to be joining you. This will be our first DCL cruise and I'm soooo excited. Dh and I are taking our niece who will be 9 two days after we return. Dh is ampprehensive about this cruise, we have no children of our own and he is worried about being overwhelmed. DN and I are Disney nuts and I have taken her to the world twice, but thought it was time for something new. I'm hoping she will meet other kids and spend some time in the clubs with newfound friends to give Dh and I some alone (adult) time.

Looking forward to a great time!

We don't have any kids and LOVE Disney cruises. The adults only areas are awesome and who doesn't love getting their pictures with all of the disney characters

Donald ~
THANK YOU!!!! Thanks for the Fantasy update too!! We are actually going to experience both the Dream and Fantasy so it is interesting to get a sneak peak in how they will be different but yet the same.

THANK YOU!!!! We haven't told our DS yet about our crusie. DH and I are taking the Dream in Dec to get our "feet wet" and be more prepared to have the DS with us. We want to avoid all possible crabbies. The little guy knows when we are not sure and then gets stressed too. This must be a stress free vaca!!!

Welcome newcomers!

I am so excited about the new information on the Fantasy!!! She looks beautiful! A little bummed that it doesn't look like Toy Story show will be on it,,my kids love Toy Story and not so excited about Aladdin,,but hey,,who's to gripe about little things like that. The Animator's Palate looks very interesting and I like the magical placemat that the kids can draw on. My dd is going to love that.

i can't wait!!!

 

[erinjean1277]

See, I read it as they were adding the new Aladdin show to the itinerary. I would have thought they could add a new one because the Fantasy cruises are 7 niters vs the current 4/5 niters on the Dream. Maybe that was a incorrect thought process.

Did anyone else catch the new POTC movie today? We loved it! Thumbs up all around!

It will be interesting to see what the shows will be, which ones the Fantasy shares with the other ships. Each ship has it's own unique show-Toy Story on the Wonder, Twice Charmed on the Magic and Believe on the Dream; then they share shows with the other ships-Golden Mickeys on the Wonder and Dream, Villains Tonight on the Magic and Dream and Disney Dreams on the Wonder and Magic. These change and end occasionally-Hercules on the Wonder and the Golden Mickeys on the Magic are gone. The longer cruises have All Aboard as the opening night show and Remember the Magic on the last night.

The new info just released about the Fantasy makes me more excited about this upcoming cruise.

We are also booked on the 2/16/12 Dream, exactly a year after our first trip on the Dream. I'll like the short span between to compare the ships

 

[Donald_Quackers]

I was hoping Disney's Believe was going to be on both the Dream and the Fantasy...I'm getting more anxious to see what the other two shows are, I hope one is The Golden Mickeys.

This is odd...just checked my reservation on DCL site and I'm all of a sudden in GTY status when I had a room. I emailed DU about this, but everyone keep a heads up on your reservation.

 

[travelcharm]

Thank you for the welcome. Is anyone planning to go to WDW before the cruise? I'm thinking of going a couple of days beforehand to see the Flower and Garden show at EPCOT.

We are planning on going to Universal Studios for two days before the cruise. my oldest ds is the ULTIMATE Harry Potter fan,,so we are taking him to Hogwarts for two days. I have a feeling I will need an extra suitcase just to bring back all the stuff we will buy at HP world.
I think we will wait on going back to WDW until after the expansion is over at MK.

 

[2_Eagle_Mom]

We'll be in FL for a week before the cruise. This time we will probably take a day and go to US to see the HP stuff as well. This will be the first time we'll be going anywhere besides WDW. Guess I better start doing some research on that as well.

We loved all the information about the changes to the Fantasy. Can't wait to see everything, looking forward to the Pub.

I have been on the Universal Studios Forum here on the dis as well as the resort forum,,good information,,plus I was recommended and got:

http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Orl...0905/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306201576&sr=8-1

it is a really good book on Universal and includes HP info.

We too are really interested in the Pub,,just up our alley.

The DCL site lists this under my past cruises

07/13/08 - 07/20/08 15-Night Hawaii Cruise Los Angeles, California
Disney Magic 7624

We're not even booked on next years Hawaii Cruise, it was listed correctly as the Mexican Riviera until recently.
