Disney Fantasy Eastern ~ Jan 16, 2016

Booking soon! 2nd Disney Cruise. Any suggestions on the secret verandah staterooms?

Welcome! I don't know about any secret verandah rooms on the Fantasy, sorry! Hopefully somebody else can help.

If your oldest is in school and has MLK day off, then this week's cruise will have her missing 1 fewer day of school. Not sure if that's a factor for you or not (it was with my kids).

This Eastern will have Tortola instead of St. Maarten, so potentially a new port from your last Eastern.

This cruise has 3 sea days instead of 2 on the Western (not sure if that matters to you.)

Good luck deciding!

They both have the same number of ports and the same number of sea days. We are going to book the western. Thanks for your input!

I was going to wait until One year even but couldn't wait to add a new ticker.

Our family just put a deposit down this morning! - me (Christina), my boyfriend, my parents, my sister, her husband, and her two children. While all of us have cruised before (except for the kids), this will be a first Disney cruise.

Booked last week after having to cancel a Land and Sea trip in Aug/Sept for WDW and the Dream. Can't wait! Me, wife, 2 kids.

Rates went through the roof this morning! +$1000 from when we booked!

Edit: Weird, now back down a bunch. +$200.

I believe those are only on the classic ships and you have to book very early to get those. People know which ones they are ,and they go quickly.

Less than 1 year away!!! This time next year we will be sailing the high seas!

Just booked our room at Hyatt MCO for Friday night! Last cruise we flew out early Saturday morning from Philadelphia and were exhausted by the time we boarded the ship. This time, we will fly out Friday night, get a good nights sleep, and take first Disney bus to the port! Just waiting for airline tickets to be up, another 6-8 weeks or so!

 

[JOANNEL]

We have signed up too! It's for my dh's 60th. Will be traveling with our cruise buddies!

We are booked for this one as our bounce back from our cruise on the Dream! It will be our 3rd Disney cruise (unless I squeeze another quick one in before this). Just me & DH!

We joined just last night... we moved our dummy date out and settled for this ! This will be our 18th cruise but only our 2nd on Fantasy. It will be just us ... 2 oldies Howard and I ... Ann. Magic has been our "home" since the maiden voyage in 1998. Just under a year away and I'm already planning

 

[Bareacuda]

this is the quietest group I've been with Anyone else bummed about the Star Wars Day not being on our cruise?

Since this is a big family with kids crew let's get a conversation going...
" get to know my family"

I'm Ann and my DH is Howard. we live in Arizona (2 miles from California) we all call it the West Coast of Arizona. We have 3 grown children with 17 grandkids age 23yrs to 8 months old. 2 weird Jack Russells.
In November we retired as LMT's / instructors from a massage school. In the process of having our kitchen' living room dining room repaired.( Big story to tell... later)
Howard and I grew up 30 miles from Disneyland, so a yearly trip or more are not uncommon for us. like I said.. we've done many Disney cruises. The last one was WBTA 2014... west bound Transatlantic. Howard has Parkinson's, so yes we have a HA room it's 5686. if anyone wants to see our room... just ask.
Now... who are you ?

Hi!

We booked this cruise onboard our 1st Disney cruise in November 2014. =)

Looking forward to those warm temps next January as we live outside of Chicago. Yes, kind of bummed that we are not on one of the Star Wars itineraries, but I'm sure this one will be a lot less "crazy" without it.

I, too, grew up about 5 miles from Disneyland but have yet to travel back there with my own kids. "It's a Small World after all....."

 

[Bareacuda]

Welcome !!! So... this cruise will be as a "Dis' er" ?
Hope you are staying out of all that snow.
Here in Az. We have had some very warm temps for a week or so, about 80°. Nice but I'm getting a bit worried what May might bring .

Looks like we will be joining this cruise. We are currently holding a cabin for the week prior but since we aren't Star Wars fans we thought we would change up our plans for the week later.

Our party consists of myself, DH and our 14 yr old daughter. Hopefully we will have some close friends cruising with us. Their daughter is 10. Disappointed the girls can't go to the clubs together but there will still be plenty for them to enjoy together outside the clubs.

Hi all
We booked this cruise while on the Magic 2/1. This will be our 7th Disney Cruise and 1st time on the Fantasy. So far it is 4 adults, me (Ellen), my DH Mike, my DS Michael and his Dgirlfriend Joy. We are hoping to get additional family members to join us this cruise.
We are originally from NY but moved to Florida 5 years ago (and don't miss the cold weather).
Michael & Joy are Disney cast members in Orlando

Counting down the days!
Glad to meet everyone
