Fantasy January 23, 2016- STAR WARS

I'm so glad I'm not alone. I haven't told DH that there is even the possibility of leaving the luggage at the hotel and they will transfer it. I know he will want to do that cause it will be easier with DS, but I don't know if I can let go. I still have months to decide what I tell him, lol

You know, it's SO close. I mean, sure, take the elevator down to the main level, go to the escalators (a 45 second walk) or elevators and go down to the appropriate floor, hand your stuff to DCL and go. It's not like, say, the one cruise in New Orleans where my husband and I walked two blocks with our luggage.

Two short blocks. We could see the ship. From our hotel. There was no way we were doing anything BUT walking.

Anyway, I get the peace of mind and I don't think it's that big a deal.

On the other hand, we gave our luggage to the DCL valet from our room in Pop Century and it was SO NICE to not have to see it until it appeared outside our stateroom.

I hope to be early, too, but we'll be on Denver time. Of course, who will be able to sleep when we're about to go on a Disney cruise?! See you on the bus!!

Hey everybody, My wife and I are going in our first cruise on Disney Fantasy for the date posted on the thread, and we're interested in being part of your fish extender group! Being our first cruise, any tips will be greatly appreciated.

 

[Kysa Crusco]

Hello! We are booked on this cruise - our 3rd Disney Cruise - and looking to join our first FE group. I cannot figure out how to do a private message to send our info and join in. Sorry - I'm usually not so tech-inept. Would be grateful for directions. Thanks!

 

[hmwinter85]

Welcome Kysa Crusco and jEDi13!!

I know!!! I was a little worried the second group wasn't going to fill up, but not it's almost full.

Does anyone have any experiance with the nursary on board? I haven't been able to find a whole lot of details about it yet. It's probably the only part of the trip that is causeing me some stress, but I'm probably worrying for nothing. We have been very lucky that my mom has been able to watch him while DH and I work, so we haven't had any experience with day care yet. He will be going to daycare part time by the end of the summer so logically I know he will be most likely be fine in the nursary by the time the crusie come. He is going through a big stranger danger phase right now so I'm worried he will freak out if we leave him in there.

My son was 18 months when we were on the Dream and the Nursery was great. It was set up with a its a small world theme. He had never been in a daycare environment but this was no ordinary daycare it felt like I was dropping him off with Mary Poppins. I would say that once on the ship know when you want to sign him up for his nursery time because they can fill up quickly, they may have it where you can sign him up online now but not sure. It was a great experience for me!

I've been looking at all of the excursions and wondering what people think. Right now, I'm leaning toward staying on the boat during Cozumel to enjoy the pools and then going on an excursion at Grand Cayman. My oldest will be 4, so we're limited on what we can do, but there was a nature park that sounded fun. Anyone have thoughts on the excursions?

I enjoyed stingray city in grand cayman but that is more of an adult thing. The turtle farm might be a better option for little ones, i enjoyed it and I know my 5 year old would today. Its interactive and fun, you can play up the whole crush and squirt thing too! I am also thinking about staying on the boat in Cozumel. Last cruise I stayed on the boat during a port day and it was so relaxing and quiet. I even got a chance to play the detective game on board.

Welcome aboard.

For some reason I haven't been notified when new posts have been made. I am in the first FE group and am in the process of making gifts that are personalized to each family/stateroom in that group. I know the names and ages of each member, what I need to know now is who in each cabin will be actively going after SW and Disney character autographs?

Hi, I was wondering where you have been. I'm glad to see you back.

I think my husband will be using our son as an excuse to do all the Star Wars Meet and Greets, lol. Owen will be just shy of 2 when we cruise so who knows how he will act with the characters. I was debating getting an autograph book for him as a way to break the ice a little for him.

 

[mschreib13]

I am creating a special autograph book and need to know how many to have made. It will be at least one per stateroom. I wouldn't want arguments among family members so I am asking who would want one. I don't use books anymore; I use items specific to a character to get their autograph on, i.e. a hip quiver for Merida, a model of her wishing well for Snow White...
