Disney Fantasy Eastern ~ Jan 16, 2016

My surgery was April 24! I had both knees done, because neither one would have worked as a "good" knee. Looking forward to meeting you!

Bobbi

Wow! How is recovery going? We have a friend that did the same thing a couple of years ago, just went for it and had both done at the same time...then his wife also had one of hers done like a month after! But from what I understand, it can really make a difference. Hope you are healing quick!

Doing both at once definitely sounds like the way to go. Good luck with the recovery, I know it isn't easy but it'll be worth it. I guess a cruise will be a perfect way to celebrate those new knees!

Less than 200 days

Hello! I haven't been on here in awhile, but finally have some down time. Hope that everyone is having a great summer! Still waiting for the Tortola excursions to be posted, hopefully soon... We are almost to the 6 month mark!

 

[ChipNDale86]

6 months to go!

I'm the boyfriend. I'm soooooo excited to sail with Disney. It will be my first cruise ever. We've having a Disney movie marathon (watching 4ish movies each month) counting down to the cruise.

Anyone else planning on running the Castaway Cay 5K?

Yes I'm getting the family to do the CC5K. I am also doing the half at WDW prior to cruise. Very excited - my first half and first Disney trip

 

[bobbiwoz]

I am almost 3 months recovering from the bilateral knee replacement and hope to be able to fast walk the 5K in January!

Something to look forward to in your recovery. It's a long process

I think this will be a fabulous first cruise for you, a beautiful ship with a great itinerary L

Hi Jen! Welcome to the group....we are a little quiet right now, but I anticipate we will get more chatty as we get closer to the sailing date. There are a few of us that have sailed MANY times with DCL, so feel free to fire away with any questions you may have.

 

[mikesmom88]

Hi all:

My niece will be joining us. Now we are 5 adults (still trying to get more family members to come)

 

[blossomz]

Hi everyone...
I can't remember if I added myself to this cruise! lol... But I am booked and coming with a friend. YAY!!

 

[Tinkybell14]

Hi everyone!
We are confirmed for this sailing. It will be 3A2C and this will be our first Gold-level cruise. My kids love finding other kids to hang out with and my daughter is going to be super bummed that she can no longer go to the club/lab. We'll be telling them about the cruise at Christmas, so if anyone has kids near the same age, maybe they can get connected pre-cruise.

We are:
Me - Sharon
DH - Zane
MIL - Sandy
DD13 - Meghan
DS10 - Landon (turns 11 one week after cruise)

We've been on the Magic twice, the Dream once and this will be our third trip on the Fantasy. We love DCL! We are originally from Texas but now living in Maryland.

We are in for the candy exchange!
We are totally in for Mixology (save us 3 seats!)!
I'm working right now on getting in on the FE!

 

[blossomz]

Let's get this party started! Who is going on the Disney Fantasy on January 16, 2016?

We are on board.
Me -- Nancy
DH -- Brian
DS (will be 11) -- Nathan
DS (will be 8) -- Joshua
DD (will be 5) -- Alyssa

This will be our 5th DCL cruise and we are so excited to try Tortola! Actually, the kids don't know about this yet since it's so far away.

Just thought I'd get this thread started. I'm hoping someone will step up to be the FE coordinator! (I did this on our last cruise for 117 cabins, hoping to step away from the coordinator role this time, LOL)

Looking forward to meeting our fellow cruisers!
