Thanks!! I was quite active up until we switched dates, and I am very excited to be sailing under your group leadership! I have heard you do an awesome job!!!! I love it when the leader is super organized and has everything all tied up with a nice bow for us!! TIA for all your hard work!!!

Thanks but no, no, NO! I need to make it PERFECTLY CLEAR that I am NOT the "group leader" here! The OP started this thread and I do NOT want to tread on their efforts. The website I did for THIS cruise (linked from the date in my sig) is a personal one. Everyone is free to view it whenever they like, and I will be adding to it, but I am NOT the "leader" of this one. It is still wonderful to be sailing with you though.

No worries!

No worries!

Thanks for understanding. I just don't want to step on anyone's toes.

Plus everyone knows I don't participate in the FE (never have), so thankfully it looks like DynamicDisneyDuo (OP) will take full charge there.

Lots of planning time before this cruise, right?

Plenty of reasons to party!

I completely understand! I have never participated in the FE's either so I can see why you wouldn't necessarily want to head that up! I know lots of people with kiddos love it and will be very thankful to DynamicDisneyDuo for taking the lead on that!

Just cause I started it doesn't mean I have to lead it.

Definitely need a cool name for this thread..so everyone get to thinkin'.

OMG my sis and I have been thinking for DAYS!! We even had our DH's trying to come up with something catchy. My Sis came up with 12.13.14 Countin' On The Fantasy. That's all we have so far!

Actually kind of cute! At least no one will forget the date we sail! Would make a nice thread title also!

I just hope this thread also stays active all the way to sailing.

I just put that title on the home page of my little cruise site. I hope she won't mind.

I told her I liked it too!!! She will be honored!

LOL - Well, if you want me to post anything on my cruise site, just let me know. I'm guessing you will eventually start an FB group for this cruise. That would be good, but does usually end up making some people feel left out, as there are still many who choose not to use FB. So I hope this thread also stays active all the way to sailing.

I do believe you and I will keep this thread active for sure

Absolutely!

I use FB like most, but I know that on every cruise meet thread there are always some who don't and sometimes the more active the cruisers on FB, the less active on the Dis.

 

[disneydreamer82]

I use FB as well, but I have to say I prefer the DIS for meets, FB just doesn't have all the fun smileys!!!

Love to everyone ..... I am glad you like my thread phrase I think I wanna shirt

Hey all - Just because it is 649 days from this cruise doesn't mean we should be slackers, does it? Let's attract more cruisers! Where's the action? The party was started but where is the music, the dancing, etc.? There must be a happy medium somewhere between no activity and, uh, that 2014 WBTA thread.

Let's keep it going!

649 days is nothing! It will be here before we know

Just wanted to pop in and say under 600 days to go, we are already down to 596 days to our sail-away!!!

we booked this last week onboard. doing concierge again (v), they really made this last trip. pJ, kamesha and Julia are the best! hope to see them again

 

[taswira]

jcjen519 - I hope those three are the Concierge team on this cruise also, as they are my favorites!

I sail on the Fantasy again this Saturday (May 11) with my hubby, Cat. T suite, so hopefully all 3 will still be aboard. They are AWESOME!

Well we are going to be joining you.

Our cruise party is made up of LiAnne (31), Bill (29), Patrick (10) and Kayleigh (7). The ages listed are at the time of the sailing.

I am having our TA move our booking from the 12-14-13 Eastern sailing to this one. I hate that I won't be going this December as we've been looking forward to it since I booked it Jan. 2012. However issues with my graduate school have forced me to move the date of our Disney sailing.

We cruised on the Dream two times last year and that's been our only DCL experience thus far. I have sailed twice before on Carnival (yuck right?!?). And this December I'll be trying out NCL for the first time. I doubt it'll compare to Disney but it beats staying home right?!?! Or at least that is what I am hoping. I think that we'll have a nice family vacation on a Nickelodeon cruise and the rest of my traveling party will get to see some new ports. Although canceling my trip on the Fantasy for this year breaks my heart (probably because I just did it last night so it is fresh on my mind).

Well... you guys are making me feel a bit bummed that I didn't book concierge. Is internet peer pressure a real thing?! I have us booked in a 5E. I've been wanting one of the extended balconies on the aft of the ship so that is what I went for and requested a notation on my reservation to NOT upgrade because I want the 5E.

I am torn on the FE. I will probably join but I'll wait a while to confirm my selection there. I have to figure out what I'd want to do and see how many cabins join in. My kids LOVE joining and I think it is fun coming up with stuff to do. So I'm about 95% certain we'll be doing it but don't want to say that I am absolutely in yet (unless you guys pressure me one way or the other).
