Fantasy Eastern Caribbean August 9, 2014

[ChrisParker]

Have just booked!!!

Okay, editing to bump and maybe by now someone else has booked....? Otherwise it's going to be a very easy FE group!

We will be, at time of cruise...

DH 40 (OMG just realized...how did that HAPPEN? )
Me - 39 ( aka not QUITE 40 )
DS - 12
DSS - 12
DSD - 11
DD (aka Princess Pippa) - 8

This is our first cruise and first Disney Cruise but I am a Disney Fanatic. DH and I were married last summer and we went twice - Honeymoon at Poly



and Familymoon at AoA...



and I have just convinced DH that we should have another big trip next summer. Due to custody schedules, etc. (and due to the amount of money we dropped on the Mouse last year... ) it doesn't make sense to try to schedule a trip this year so next year we will make up for it in spades!

I have never done this before but I'd be happy to organize the Disgroup onboard and help out with FE...never done that either!! The planning is at least half the fun for me and like a lot of you it makes me so happy to know that my kids (and DH i suppose... ) are going to have a brilliant vacation due to my planning.

So.....

Who's with me?

Looking forward to meeting new friends!!!

Hello all, well not many to say that too yet but that will change. We just booked and very excited to be going on our third trip. We have done the Wonder in 06, Magic 08, and finally getting to do it again.
My name is Michele 44 at time of sailing, and can you believe I am a nana to 3 grandkids and one more to arrive early next year? Ya me either but being a young nana is nice as they can't out run me yet. Been married 24 years this July. We live in Las Vegas. We will head to WDW with my whole family in Oct 2014. That's both DD and their other halfs and by that time both will have two kids each and my oldest has two step DD she hopes to bring but will see if the ex will let that happen or not.
Stacie is my BFF and we have done our Disney cruises together and I almost didnt' get to go as my DH wants WDW instead so I am tagging along with Stacie so she isn't alone. Lucky huh? She will be 36 at time of cruise.
Austin is her son and he is going to be 15 almost 16 at time of cruise. He is a great kid and is supper tall. He loves video games and basketball. So we are pretty sure we may never see him.
Not intirely sure if we will do the FE this time or not? I will ask them if they are interested as last time they didn't and I did and they were like wow that's a lot of cool stuff.
I am glad I get to go as I am a travel agent and get to book these all the time and it will feel so much better knowing I get to go next year. It's been a very dry spell in my travel but next year will be wild. I have the cruise, WDW and I am part of the Dis Diva's and we do an annual Disneyland trip last Feb. Wish if you bought a annual pass for one park it worked for them all. It then would be beneficial for me.
Well I look forward to getting to know you. And if you ever need to get a hold of me I don't' get all my notifications for this as Yahoo sucks for that.lol
Now off to go make a new ticker or two.

Glad you are getting to do a cruise with your BFF! DH and I will also be married 24 years in July - July 29th. We originally wanted to get married in August but Father goes fishing in August - so July it was! What day is your anniversary?

I just joined the Fish Extender Group on Facebook!! Who knew there was a Fish Extender Group!

I look forward to meeting you!

That is so funny as my anniversary is July 29 too. We were to get married in Sept but since I ended up pregnant before the wedding date and my dress wasn't going to fit me anymore we moved it up.l

We are not joining a FE as of yet. We will decorate our door for sure. Last time it took us forever to pass stuff out and well I just don't want to worry about that. Next time when I bring the grandkids I will as that will be so fun for them.

We need a cleaver name don't you think?
Eastern Fantasy?
Family Fantasy Cruisers?
Hot Fantasy Nights?
Gosh anyone else cleaver??????? I am so not good with that kind of stuff.

I agree but I have nothing clever. I'll ask DH. That should get an eye-roll!! He has just now mentioned that soon I will have finished "printing the internet" and then the printer can have a break. Hardy Har Har.

Can I ask - how many hours behind NYC are you in Vegas? You are up late!! Although if you're going to be up, the Dis is as good a place as any.

What is the fish extender group on FB? Is it a group just for this cruise?

We are 3 hours behind in Vegas. I work until 10:15pm so I am up late and like to check things out on here.
I have 2 other trips I am doing in 2014. The Dis Diva trip (thread is located in Disneyland) and our family WDW trip in Oct. So lots to read and catch up on.

You can friend me my link is below for FB and I will send you an invite for the fish extender group. It's for all Disney cruises. At least I think that's he one they are talking about?

 

[ChrisParker]

Sent you a request!!

How funny is that! What are the chances! We also decorate our door too! This will be the first time I am doing the fish extenders - we usually do the last cruise of August, which usually has LOTS of Dis'ers. I think this cruise will have a manageable number!

I accidently read Hot Fantasy Nights as Hot Flash Nights!! I am NOT suggesting that as a title!!

What is the fish extender group on FB? Is it a group just for this cruise?

Its just a group on Facebook who share ideas/pictures/ about fish extenders - no specific cruise or group affiliation - Just Disney Cruise addicts!! I sent you a PM it might be the same one that Pixiedustmom gave you.

Hot flash nights works. Don't know about you but hey it happens.

So since booking I have been obsessing over all kinds of things and we have over a year to go. I found were the laundry rooms are, a bit more about my cabin. By the way what have you all booked? We have a 7a 9652.
I have been thinking which excursions to do or not. What spa treatments to try and hope to finally go to palo. Can you believe I haven't try them in the past 2 trips?
I am also really sad I am not doing this with my grandkids and DH. He can't get that much time from work and I can't afford to bring all the grandkids. We will have 4 by this time next year.lol Two of them would be old enough for the kids clubs and they are the ones I want to bring but not alone.

Hello. I am Jenny and my family is booked on the August 9 Fantasy cruise. This is our first cruise and we are very excited. I also will probably have about 1000 cruise questions before we sail so I am excited to get to know all of you and pick your brains if that is ok.

As I said I am Jenny and my husband Rob and I live in upstate NY. My husband is two months from retiring from the US Navy. We have two daughters who will be 17 and 15 at the time of sailing.
