**Fantasy Becomes Reality** Group--5/19/2012 (INDEX/ROLE CALL, PAGE 1--ENTRY 1)

[bwcb4]

I found this link on the FANTASY from DCL News.
http://dclnews.com/2011/12/disney-fantasy-takes-family-entertainment-to-new-heights/

The lineup of musicals presented at the Disney Fantasy Walt Disney Theatre includes “Wishes,” “Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular,” “Disney’s Believe,” “A Fantasy Come True” and “An Unforgettable Journey.”

The above link has a description of each show.

Also a description of a new pirate show on deck. “Mickey’s Pirates IN the Caribbean,” a family-friendly interactive show featuring the famous Disney characters. Guests become members of Mickey’s Pirate Crew as they participate in a series of pirate-themed musical numbers.
New part is:
Later in the evening, Jack Sparrow from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films makes a special appearance on deck in “Hunt Fer Jack,” a thrilling live-action pirate showdown which culminates in “Buccaneer Blast” – a spectacular display of piratical pyrotechnics.
As the night rolls on, a high-tech, open-air dance party on the upper decks of the ship heats up.

Fireworks at Sea
The only cruise line to feature fireworks at sea, Disney Cruise Line ups the entertainment ante and lights up the sky with a fireworks extravaganza.
As part of the pirate night celebration, the skies above the Disney Fantasy explode with brilliant colors during “Buccaneer Blast.” With more “bang” than ever before, the pyrotechnic spectacular is choreographed to a dramatic score featuring songs from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies.

Disney Cruise Line News site also has stories on the restaurants themes, interactive games with the Muppets, info about the pool areas and more! Be sure to check it ou and read it all and then get VERY EXCITED!!!

See you real soon!

Wow, great images everyone. I agree that an image of the Dream would be more accurate. Otherwise, BEAUTIFUL!!! I would love to get digital files of these to use in our trip binder and scrapbook! (PM me for an e-mail address)

The ship is looking gorgeous. I cannot wait to see her in person. The excitement of Christmas is over and now all my excitement can be directed to this trip. I even gave our travel agent the green light to pay for the cruise in full today, so come 19 February we'll be ready to book our excursions and fun extras.

All we need now is airfare... and that will cost us almost as much as the cruise! Airfare is even more expensive when you can only fly with a handful of carriers due to severe nut allergies. (Delta still serves peanuts onboard, for instance. WestJet is the most allergy-friendly, but also the most expensive.)

As for excursions, we are thinking of a few but not sure if we will do them all:
- 12 Metre Regatta in St. Maarten
- Watercraft Ski at Castaway Cay
- Bicycle Rental at Castaway Cay
- Kayak Hike Snorkel off Cas Cay in St. Thomas
- Skyride in St. Thomas - depending on the time of the other excursion - the view from the top is worth the price alone.

Anyway, the countdown is on... 3 days at Universal, 5 at WDW, and 7 on the Fantasy... lots of planning to do!

Biff423: that is incredible images and artwork.

Then there is the T-shirt logo by Garry that is wowing us all.

And not to leave in the dust, the avatar like .jpg commemorating the cruise that many are using in their signature.

As I thank everyone who has worked on these... I'm also curious... if there are separate purposes, or if all will be used together??... I'm kinda confused!

I updated the images a bit...

I just wanted to make a little image to be used in my signature and share it with the group in case they wanted to use it too - in signatures, in FEs, or for whatever.

If you guys like these - I will whip them up in different sizes so you can pull for whatever you want.

Yes, please! They look incredible!

The shirt design is excellent too!

Anyone take up the bracelets project? I am from Canada and it would be much easier if an American took it on to keep the shipping fees down. If not, I guess that idea won't happen.

 

[donaldsgal]

Marci (biff423), the designs look great. Am I right in reading you're willing to make these available for t-shirts? If so, I'd love one! Also, are one of the famous DISigners? If so, I'll be sending you a PM!

I don't have time to do the bracelets - I'd be happy to under different circumstances - but I'm working two jobs right now.

 

[biff423]

You are all welcome to copy and do what want with the images

Sorry for the long post - I will just put them all here - just right click and save to your computer

I am a designer - but certainly not famous and not usually one to do DCL or Disney stuff except for myself and my cruise meet groups. If you need something else I might be able to oblige you though - just send me a PM.

Let me know if there are other sizes needed

 

[JohnPA]

JohnPA, can you please add us to the FE list? I am still overwhelmed by the idea of it, but we want to participate. We may drop out (when the final decisions are due), but we'd like to do it. It's really a matter of finding what we want to give, getting the actual fish extender, and letting go of my perfectionism to find the "perfect gift." I like the idea of having to roam the entire ship to find the staterooms (it's a good excuse to explore), so, if we do split the group, I'd prefer we draw names out of a hat like you suggested, JohnPA. Good idea!

Got you moved up to the FE section of the list.

 

[biff423]

Hey All - I worked up this little spreadsheet to help me with planning. Thought you might all find it useful too.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ana_e4hC_lmCdGNOZElsUkk0bVltU3RtR255ODZ4U3c

I've got a post out on the main board asking about the schedule - we'll see what that brings. And as sailings start late March we should be able to update the show schedule.

 

[spacecanada]

As of this afternoon, our whole trip (save port adventures, souvenirs, food, and tips) is booked and paid in full... let the waiting game begin... Not much longer now!

I may need to bake Mickey cookies to celebrate. *o*

There have been reports of bad storms in the area that if continued may require further postponement.

 

[DizDaddy]

My stops to this forum have been brief and quick lately, and usually involve me making updates to the roll call...so I'm taking this brief moment to say thank you and great job to all that have posted art and t-shirt ideas!!! Everything looks great!

...the countdown continues...

 

[DizDaddy]

Hey, Mati (Texfinn)....how is Sabrina doing? And is Kai keeping up with the building of the ship? And how are YOU doing? Hope everything is well, and that your absence on the boards is because you've all been in great health and enjoying the holidays!

 

[wdwgoose]

[donaldsgal]

Here is a thread with some videos of the float out: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2857155

ETA: Not videos - stills of the webcam, not actual videos.

And here's a link to andreasde (DISer in Germany) who took photos of the float out: http://www.depping-design.de/test/displayimage.php?album=199&pos=0

Can someone remind me what happens now? What work is being done now (internally and externally)? When does it start its sail to Port Canaveral?

 

[wdwgoose]

not good at this so I really hope it works
