DisneyMom70 - Where in Southern California are you from?

Lakewood, or as I prefer to say it, 12 minutes NW of the "Happiest Place on Earth". It's near Long Beach.

I just now am getting caught back up on DIS after a crazy school year. Honestly - if my kids ever say "I'm done!" I might just have to do a happy dance Traveling hockey and competitive gymnastics is going to be enough to push me over the edge.

BUT! We made it through another year, and my WDW trip is 11 days away, so, I'm revived and ready to go!

Add us to the FE list, please. We'll have 2 adults, 3 kids (boys 7 and almost 10, girl 7). I may be able to get my parents interested, but I doubt it. They're getting a little fuddy duddy in their advancing years.

I already have my idea, too!

Can we add the FE list to the first post, so it's in a centralized location?

Happy day, all!

Hi! So far I am keeping the information on a powerpoint chart. I figure once we hit the year marker I would send an updated list out once a month until we get closer.

I will be glad to add you to the list. I just need Names/Ages/Gender, Email address, Cabin #, celebrations, and food allergies. You can email me at retykemom@att.net with the information.

I am from Victorville (North of San Bernadino on the other side of the mountains). The desert. All brown. You have driven through it if you have been to Las Vegas.

I grew up at Disneyland. I have yet to go to WDW. I kinda skip that and go straight for the cruise.

 

[DCLaholic-mom]

Can someone PLEASE make this ticker move faster?

Hi Susan!! My DD will be 16 while on the cruise. Your 17 will be able to be in the teen club. It is when they turn or are already 18 that they move up to the college group.

Would you like me to add you to our FE list? Let me know. I just need Names/Ages/Gender, Email address, Cabin #, celebrations, and food allergies. You can email me at retykemom@att.net with the information.

I think we will be doing a cruise meet sometime, but I have not heard anything in a while. I am just helping with the FE's.

Yes, you can count me in for the FE as we have always loved doing it. I will email you the details when I can find the docs that give me our cabin number I know it is around here somewhere.

Susan

I have been through Victorville several times. How long have you been in LA? That is quite a move.

Have you done a cruise before? I figured, since we were going all the way to FL for the cruise, we might as well take advantage of it, and do it all. It will be interesting to see the differences, and I'm sure it will take some getting used to all the walking (and transportation).

We were young and CA. is not the cheapest place to live. My ex's family is here which is why we came here. I have no family here, go figure. I stay because I love my job so much. My dad retired at George AFB when it was still open so I lived there most of my life give or take some time in Riverside. I was 25? when we moved here. I lived my summers there at the beach (usually around the Long Beach area). Grew up with Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, and Magic Mountain. There are a lot of things from there I miss (Like In-n-Out Burger and Del Taco), but otherwize it is livable here. Nice to hear from someone from my neck of the woods.

Hi there everyone. My name is Jennifer and me and my husband just booked this cruise while we were on the inaugural Alaskan Cruise. If all goes as planned this will be mine and Chris's 11th Cruise. (We are supposed to go on the Dream for a Holiday cruise on Dec 4th of this year) I just saw all the new info that was released today about the Fantasy and I am sooo excited to get onboard. It is truly going to be an amazing ship. I would be interested in the FE exchange as well.

 

[IrenicMom]

Anyone else with little girls cruising?

Just read that BBB will be on the Fantasy! And that they'll transform it into Pirate's League for Pirate night.

Anyone care to wager how hard THOSE appts are going to be to get?!?!

I'm thinking Cinderella's Royal Table for breakfast hard!!

We are moving our cruise date to the end of July due to dance competitions schedule next summer. Hate that i'll have to add another month to my ticker...See ya!

 

[DCLaholic-mom]

Was anyone expecting the statue to be Minnie Mouse? I was hoping for Goofy myself.

Sorry to hear that you are leaving us. Have a great time on your cruise!!!

 

[DCLaholic-mom]

And yes, I wish I was 5 again so I could go to BBB.

 

[IrenicMom]

I was surprised by Minnie. After the pattern of classic - new - classic (Mickey, Ariel, Donald), I was prepared for new again. I'd heard a rumor of the Aladdin show, so secretly, I was hoping for Genie.

But then again, I'm a big Genie fan. (I joke that Mom's are just like Genie - someone rubs our lamp, and it's "Poof! What do you need? Poof! What do you need?" all.day.long.)

I am glad to see Minnie, though. I was surprised more by Ariel than by Minnie - she and Mickey should have been the first two, IMO!

 

[DCLaholic-mom]

I never thought of it that way, but you are right - Being a mom IS like the Genie.

Thank you for the laugh!! I needed it today.

 

[IrenicMom]

Now I'm wondering who will be on the stern of the ship???

Can't seem to find any news about it. I thought with the Dream they announced about the same time.

 

[DCLaholic-mom]

Ooh! I had not thought about that. I guess I have been to caught up with the fact there is news starting to come out about the ship. Back to the research on the Fantasy. There must be more out there than we have heard. The one article says that about a dozen things were revealed, and it could be that I am just not feeling good, but I did NOT count a dozen. I do LOVE the colors of the Atrium that they have in the artist rendurings.

 

[IrenicMom]

If you count the info about each nightclub in Europa as a separate piece of news, it comes close:

Let me pull up the Dis article and see what I find:

1. Animator's Palate - Animation Magic
2. Animator's Palate - Undersea Magic
3. Aladdin: A Musical Spectacular
4. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
5. Transformation from BBB to Pirate's League
6. Europa District
7. La Piazza
8. Skyline
9. O'Gill's Pub
10. Ooh La La
11. The Tube
12. Mme Minnie Mouse and her statue

So - 12 things - now - not really 12 things - like you said - but the way a press release would count them, 12 things. Dastardly marketing techniques! I want 12 UNIQUE things! New things! Fun things!!!

I am excited that they will have things unique to the Fantasy. I thought it would be a duplicate to the Dream so I am thrilled with these announcements. I love the pictures of the different rooms. I wish they would have had that Pirates League when we took our first Disney Cruise trip as I am sure my then eight year old would have enjoyed it a lot more than my soon to be 13 year old. You travelers with little girls are going to have a hard time not spending money in that little room. Every little girl wants to be a princess (sometimes even we big girls as well).
