I am so excited to see this ship when it is finally completed. It is gong to be amazing.

Just read the updates, so here are my thoughts:
If the Aladdin show is anything like the one here at CA, it will be awesome.
I actually like the idea of Minnie.
I am hoping we will get a little bit of time to check out Europa between the kids clubs and Nana and Grampa babysitting.
We have been successful in avoiding BBB here at DL, and I was hoping not to do it at WDW. Now it has followed me onto the cruise. I could go for the pirates theme though.
I agree with IrenicMom..."Anyone care to wager how hard THOSE appts are going to be to get?!?! "
Overall, the articles are just feeding my Disaddiction. I can't wait!!

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.

Did you see this about In-N-Out? It's getting closer.

I love the Fantasy changes! I think the adult areas look like fun and Animator's Palate is much more appealing than on the Dream. Can't wait until my counter shows less that a year!

My first day of summer vacation and I have most of the strips cut for a countdown calendar and have officially started the fabric search for our FE. Problem is, I cannot decide on a Disney theme, cruise/nautical theme, or just something cute and different. I am usually on the different side (trust me) but I keep seeing all these different ideas and I am so indecisive.

FE design is a big question looming over my head too!

I have just updated the FE list as I have the information for so far. If there is anyone else who wants to join the group, please email me at retykemom@att.net

Hey everyone, it has been awhile since I have posted. I am so looking forward to this trip. I can't believe we are getting close to the 1 year mark! I have been so busy planning our summer vacation that I haven't done much yet with our cruise planning. The new updates look great.

 

[DCLaholic-mom]

I everyone. I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Let us remember those who are in our military - past, present, future.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I received an email from Michaels that has a 50% off coupon for Sunday only. I do not know if I can forward it, but it is worth a try. Let me know.

Hello everybody! Yesterday we had to change our original sail dates & now it looks like we will be joining you for this awesome cruise. It will be me (Jessica), my sister and my son (6 years old at the sailing date) in one SR and my mom & dad in another. I live in Washington, my sister in Arizona and my parents are in Wisconsin where we grew up. This is going to be the first time our family has taken a vacation like this since my sister and I were kids.

My husband, son and I took our first ever cruise earlier this month for DS's 5th birthday with my husband's family. It was a 4 night on the Dream. It was so wonderful, I knew I wanted to do it again with my family. One thing was that it was too short! I am definitely looking forward to the longer cruise next year.

I was very happy to see such an active meets board. I think we are all going to have a great time!

A fellow Jessica - welcome!

Hi Jessica - Welcome Aboard!!

I am asking that everyone please pray for a little girl's family. A 7 yr old little girl that just finished first grade at my school last week was killed in a car accident on Saturday 5/28. I am just weak right now. She was a sweet little girl with bright eyes and a passion for learning. So as we all look forward to happy times with our children and family on our Fantasy cruise, please remember all those little ones that will never get to do all the things we take for granted because they were taken away from us way to soon.

 

[DisneyMom70]

Welcome Jessica. My DD will be 6 as well. Yay! Glad to have you onboard.

I am definitely sending prayers and good thoughts their way (and yours). It is so awful when anyone passes away so suddenly, but especially when it is a child.

Okay...final post of the morning since I am supposed to be working. I found a really cute stuffed Mickey wall hanging holding a since with "Red, White and Blue" on it. I put it up for Memorial Day, but can't wait to bring it on the cruise for the 4th.

I can't believe how much stuff I have already bought for this trip.

Also, we got to go on the new Star Tours ride this past Saturday. We won a slot in the AP preview contest. IT WAS SOO COOL!! They did a great job with the referb, but now that it is 3D, I got so sick on the ride. We went twice, and even though I had taken motion sickness med. before we went, I was still "not in a happy place". That freaks me out a bit as next year we will be flying (gives me vertigo), on a boat for 7 days (seasick easily), and then WDW for a week.

I may have to be drugged out of my mind to make it through. Patches, and dramamine and ginger...oh my!

My son does well with a prescription of Meclizine from the Dr.

The BIG child in me has just finished a countdown chain (like the old ones we used to make when we were kids) that will start at the 365 day mark which isnt far away. I have it hanging from the front door going up the stairs. Now I am looking for some Disney Cruise or Character trivia (fairly hard) for my kids. I figure there could be a trivia question per week? Somethng to get them a little more excited.

I also went to Michaels Sunday and got some pretty intersting pirate things on clearance for cheap, cheap for FE's!!

Let's see? Oh, and I made another magnet for the door. None of which are on my list for a while. I am supposed to be working on my FE.

Can't believe we are almost at our one year for sailing of this cruise!! I'm so ready for it!

We have booked our wedding photographers to come along on this sailing with us to do photos and Trash the Dress session on the Island and Boat. I'm REALLY excited about this cruise now (as if I wasn't already)!!!

 

[DCLaholic-mom]

You are bringing the photographers on the June 30th cruise or the June 23rd cruise? Are you still doing both? I am trying to change our July7th western to the June 23rd Western.

OK. Explain - Trash the dress? I know you are getting married at WDW prior to cruising right? wow! Is it costing a fortune and a half to bring the photographers on a cruise or are they family members or someone? Did you get a package deal to bring them? I LOVE seeing the wedding pictures from CC.

 

[scottygirl]

I must be getting old because I have no idea what trash the dress means. I had my dress preserved and it's still in the box after 22 years!
