Hello to all!
This is our 3rd consecutive Disney Cruise on the Fantasy.
About us. We are a family of 11 for this cruise; 4 grandchildren, 2 sets of their parents, adult single son and us (the grandparents Ron and Bunny).
Our story. We became addicted to Disney Cruising in the spring of 2017. Just us grandparents took our then two 5 year granddaughters (without their parents) on a Kindermoon trip before they started Kindergarten in the Fall. We knew we wouldn’t be able to take them out of school once they started. This trip was something that as cruisers ourselves promised our grandchildren on the day they were born. They girls had a wonderful, memory filled trip that also included a stay at WDW for a few days on princess beds at Port Orleans - Riverside. That whole trip was all about our princesses meeting every single Disney princess. I cannot begin to tell you the amount of joy it has brought to us and them.
So forward to the following spring of 2018. It was the grandsons turn to go, they were now 5 and would be entering Kindergarten that Fall. They were all too eager as they had watched the girls trip video over and over so they would know what to do on board the ship. Needless to say they had a blast. It was a Star Wars cruise and was just perfect. We again stayed at WDW this time at Wilderness Lodge and it was a wonderful trip as well. The boys have their own trip video that they watch over and over.
So it is now coming up to this summer 2019. It is our 40th wedding anniversary and we could not think of anything better than to spend it with our grandchildren...their parents were begging to tag along. So we are all sailing this cruise so that the grandchildren can show their parents all the fun they had with the grandparents. Mind you it did take some coaxing and negotiating to take the grandkids on their special trips in the first place. The parents and our adult son have never cruised so this should be an interesting trip. I’m sure their kids will show them everything onboard including where they can find the all you can eat ice cream cones! We plan to stay at WDW again at Wilderness Lodge.
I am happy to answer any questions you may have. The last two Disney cruises our cabin was a family ocean view cabin on deck 6 with 2 large circle windows that the kids love to lay in. This upcoming cruise we are all in balcony cabins on deck 6.
Now that we are into the new year the little ones are counting down the days on their calendars with stickers. Very excited!
