Fantasy- 7 night Western- August 4, 2012

[Sunshineminnie]

Hey folks! This is the DS(19) of Ramule aka Matt!

Icesk8ersmom- WWHP is absolutely epic! My family and I went about two years ago and it was an unforgettable experience. I am a huge fan of Harry Potter as well! In fact, I am the seeker for The Ohio State University Quidditch Team! hahaha As for thoughts/tips, I don't know how croweded it will be in relation to how it was two years ago, but going to the park early and heading straight to HP world worked best for us. We were able to get through the all the rides in about 3-4 hours which was very surprising. I recommend riding first and visiting all the stores second. There are lines to get into stores because it gets very congested back there. If anyone in the family is claustrophobic, best to work on solving that problem now! Other then that, the architecture and scenery are just amazing and a true harry potter fan can appreciate the perfect details! As for food, butterbeer, pumpkin juice, cauldron cakes, and chocolate frogs are absolute musts! Hope the trip goes well and if you have any further questions, just ask!

Anyone other teens/college students on the cruise wanna chat, hit me up!

Hey Matt!

Glad to have you.

Thank you! I appreciate it. I have been checking out WWOHP, and it looks amazing. I will try the butter beer and chocolate frogs for sure.

What was your favorite ride?

My DD is a teenager on this cruise, so I will pass on your willingness to chat.

I just made a few more payments, and the pay in full dance is getting closer! I also purchased my dress for formal night. It is a Calvin Klein asymmetrical jersey dress. It got it for a bargain at Ross.

I also started looking for magnets. Do we have a cruise logo? I am not creative so if anybody created one, I would appreciate it if you shared.

Next week, we leave for Vegas. I need to stop planning for our cruise, and focus on the task at hand. Vegas is fun, but it is no fantasy.

I am getting so excited for her arrival in NYC!

Take care and talk to you soon.

Hey everyone!

I hope that you all had a great weekend!

It's getting to be springtime here, but I have to say I am really bummed about this winter. No SNOW! NO snow days, no snowmen, no snow forts, no snowball fights, no sledding, skiing and snowboarding down our driveway! Usually I love it when spring starts rolling in, but this year I want SNOW!

So.... we are heading up to go skiing on Mount Bachelor for spring break. I have only skiied in Colorado, so this will be a fun change. I finally finished booking our house, car, flights and everything. So Oregon, here we come!

In the meantime, DS finished his basketball season. Tough season for those boys. He's really looking forward to the start of track.

DD is heading into play offs for her team. They are ranked #1 in the state right now so it could be an exciting time. Hopefully they'll play tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. They have to win in order to advance to the next round. This could be a REALLY fun couple of weeks.

I have been thinking about the cruise a bit here and there, but am really focusing on spring break and basketball. I do want to try to get my FE's started sometime soon. I have some ideas of what I want to make, but will probably do some experimenting.

I hope that all is well with you all!

Have a happy week!

Afternoon all

Well just finished a busy day at school. I am a teachers assistant, and today I was asked to lead the class of 30 5-6yr olds in a literacy session. Not something I do very often and can sometimes be quite stressful but today it was all good, all helps with experience

We are having some spring like weather recently too, but the evenings are still cold, can 't wait for the balmy evenings to come

I don't think we have a Cruise logo yet...maybe put in a request with the DISigners, see what they can come up

Can't stop...have to collect DD from a friends house where she is having tea

Chat soon

Oh before I go I can totally recommend the butter beer at WWOHP!

I have been looking at all the pictures of the Fantasy in NYC. I can't wait until we are on board enjoying the sun and fun It looks so great and I can't wait for GMA Friday to see it. Here in Maine and all of New England we are getting ready for a snow storm. We are expecting 8 -10 inches of snow and I am not too happy about it Hope everyone has a great day

Please, please send some snow our way!!!! I miss it!


According to my ticker....... we sail 5 MONTHS FROM TODAY!!!!!!!! WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!

we had a little snow again today ( south east of England) but it didn't stick as for a couple of hours before hand it rained solidly and hard!...we have been going from one extreme to the other with weather this week, it was shirt sleeve weather on Thursday with glorious sunshine...and then back. To the cold again for the weekend, it's crazy...him ie a decent stretch of sunshine any time.....well in 4 weeks infact, bring on the Fantasy.

Really dissapointed in the lack of coverage of the Fantasy's christening compared to the Dreams, just hope the MV won't be as much of a let down as the Dream's MV was really cool.

so being that there are just a few weeks left before I depart for the MV, is there anything in particular that you would like me to investigate for you about the ship etc....?

Happy Weekend Everyone!

We are having spring here. Going to plant my potatoes and onions tomorrow. Boy, it seems like I just finished cleaning up the fall garden... and here we are again!

Well, I think that I have finally gotten all of my i's dotted and t's crossed for the upcoming cruise. Now that the car is rented, the hotels are booked, the dives are booked, the only thing left to do is wait for my check in window to book a couple of things and start making my FE's.

We are going to head out to find the snow and go skiing for spring break. When I get back, I'll really get going on things.

I hope all is well in the UK and all over the States.

Take care!

Good afternoon Sunshineminnie

All is well here in the uk today! We are back to glorious sunshine and mild temps compared to the snow last week and some pretty heavy rain fall and frosty mornings during the week. It really doesn't know how to behave at the moment, the weather is confused

So now I am in full fantasy mode, with FEs coming together for both weeks, clothes starting to get sorted, haircuts booked for the kids and last bits and bobs shopping list compiled ready for a trip into town next weekend.

The MV trip is constantly on my mind and I have to be careful with conversation at work as it always turns to my trip somehow I fear I am boring them...they just don't get it thank goodness for the DIS

Well back to the ,mundane task of prepping the house for the week and supervising homework for the kiddies....have a good week all x

 

[karendvc07]

Hey everyone! We are on this cruise, too! This is my 5th Disney cruise and I can't wait to see the new ship!

It will be me, DH, DS(16), DS(13), DS(12), DD(10), and DD(4). We all did a 5-night on the Dream last summer and had a blast. We are soooo excited about this trip!

I can't even imagine how excited you must be! It is hard not to talk about it constantly, and we are still 4 months away. I say - go ahead and talk about it even if others are bored to tears! At least you'll be having fun!
