Hi we will be sailing with my 16 year old son and 1 year old daughter (2and 17) at cruise time. Looking forward to dragging my son along for family fun, lol.

Jenn, our first Disney cruise was with our 4 yr old DD and 17 yr old DS, the summer before his SR year. It was perfect! Jen

Thanks! I am so excited for this family time. I thought they would be good ages. I am glad you confirmed this for me!

I will add your family to the FE exchange. I haven't posted a list yet but will get around to it soon. We were talking about making a password protected google file or something safe like that for the info.

Heads up everyone, prices went up about 50% on our cruise!!! I am super happy I upgraded my cabin before the hike.

Wow! I'm so glad we switched to this cruise when we did instead of waiting.

Ok. How many times have I said how excited I am? I get so happy thinking about this cruise, I can't wait to meet everyone and have quality uninterrupted family time.

I don't care where I sit in a theatre or a dining room, just want to go,

Our whole family is the same way. DH already wants us to decide which resort we're staying in at WDW the week prior to the cruise. Our travel agent just laughs every time she hears from me.

And to top it off, my youngest DD informed me yesterday that she has never stayed in a hotel. I couldn't believe it, but she was right. We cruised last summer on the Wonder, but since we live near Seattle we just drove to the pier the morning of the cruise. All our other vacations have been camping or to the family beach cabin. So the pressure is on to choose an awesome resort for this trip.

Well keep us posted on what you decide! That is a whole aspect I didn't think of...I think per-cruise we will stay at Cocoa beach but afterwards...hmm...

Woohoo!! My husband and I are renewing our vows (full Princess Wedding) and have decided to take this cruise for our honeymoon that we never had. I am so looking forward to doing the FE. We are getting married on the Dream December 15-19 2014 and then jumping on this cruise the next day

I started an FE group here and on FB and haven't got any bites. I thought it would be so much fun for my kids, grandkids and even the adults so I have my fingers crossed. Our wedding cruise is my first cruise ever. We were going to take RCC for our honeymoon but I hearing how much fun Disney and you don't have to pay for soda .

If you know someone that is going on my 12/15/14-12/19/14 on the Dream send them my way .

I am so looking forward to meeting everyone and just so excited!!!

If anybody needs help getting the FE going I would be more than happy to help with it. My life consists of sitting at home and let's see...sitting at home

So I would be more than happy to while even though I have a hectic life of sitting at home and to add kids are all grown and out of the house.

I am going to be booking on board for this cruise in 4 days!! I can't wait. My husband and I spent a lot of time trying to decide what cruise to book and in the end decided that it will be perfect to go over Christmas. I have been checking everyday to make sure our room category is still available.

I look forward to meeting all of you and waiting 617 days with all of you.

We have 4 kids and they will be 12, 11, 7, and 7 by the time we go in Dec 2014. I can't wait to see what the Fantasy looks like...esp. dressed up for Christmas.

How do you check to see if your room category is still available?

Thanks, What I remember from our last Holiday cruise( On the wonder) was a special menu, roast turkey for one! Everyone recieved gifts in the stateroom on Christmas Day, great decorations including a large tree, seasonal music, they even roasted chestnuts by the family pool! I was able to keep the Christmas day menu card, I may try to post some of the items later. It was a great time.

What kind of gifts do you receive if your stateroom on Christmas? My husband and were talking about that. Even though it is our honeymoon cruise and we are renewing out vows on the Dream right before this. We felt that we need to each other at least 1 gift.

Hi Everyone! I will be starting the FE group. I am putting a few things together while I have this dang flu that I don't know where I got it from . If you are interested in the FE just write interested below and then I will get some questions that I will need answered. I think this is going to be so much fun! If anyone has any input that they would like to share feel free to write it down

If you are not aware of it but Janet has started a meet group on FB feel free to jump over there if you would like.

Ok I am just about finished with the spreadsheet on google docs. I am going to be the one to enter everything in and then I will post the spreadsheet so you all can see how many adults and kiddies. It is all password protected so anyone from the outside can get the information.

Now this is what I need you ladies to think about and give me all the input as you want

1. We have a little over a year for our fun to start and . I think we are going to have lots of people since this is a Christmas cruise. We need to have some sort of break off point on how many cabins per group. So example do you want to cut off at 20 cabins per group? So I need all input.

2. Somebody that I know from my cruise before this one mentioned getting together for a tasting with the men and women. I definitely want to do the Champagne get together with Janet (just the women) how fun is that going to be?? Let me know if the tasting is something you would like to do and I can get as much information as I can on it.

3. Last one that I can think of at this moment. I need everyone's input on this. This is all of our trip. I want everyone to have fun with it. That is what this is all about FUN!

I did find a fun idea from Graphics for All Lovers. It is called Roaming Mickey. Everyone can do this if you would like and you will get a wonderful souvenir to remember the trip. If you want details let me know and I will get them to you.

Thanks for reading all this
