Hi folks!

Just booked on this cruise - will be me and my DH (and if I can afford it I may get my brother to come too)


Can't wait to get planning and getting to know some fellow cruisers - Only 499 days to go

Hello!!
wow big family! I'd love to travel with a big group but it's getting people to come. (I know shouldn't be difficult right?) This is going to be our first time on the Fantasy so I can't wait to see her!!

I need something Disney to obsess over - no holidays this year at all and last trip to WDW was Jan 2012 so I cannot wait!! I am really excited at the mo but that may taper off a bit around the middle as its such a long time away! Fingers crossed we'll get to experience halloween on the high seas too!!!

I think my countdown clock was days, hours, minutes etc so that may explain it. Now definitely 499

We're hoping for Halloween too. I had read it was all of Oct. Guess we'll see this coming Oct what they do.

I traveled with this same group (minus the 2 friends) in Nov 2012 on the Fantasy & had such a great time...even my grandparents & aunt who couldn't care less about the mouse. LOL We did the Eastern w/ San Juan & St Thomas. Excited to sail the Western this time!

We booked the day it opened back then too & I think our count was around 600 days. The excitement did fade a bit as time went by, but ramped up when we were at least in the same year as we were sailing.

Until then, I'm happy to obsess with you!

Hi there! I just switched our cruise from the June 20th Eastern Caribbean to this October 3rd Western Caribbean.....so here I am! Was so happy to see that this cruise already had a thread going, too.

SO EXCITED as this will be our very first cruise ever!!! We are a family of 4 from Middle Tennessee: Myself, DH Eric, DD Jenna (10) and DS Ethan (8). The kids will be 11 & 9 when we cruise.

We surprised our kids with our first trip to Disney World last October and you can definitely say that we caught the Disney bug We are going back to Disney World in December and it just can't get here quick enough!

We booked this cruise to celebrate our 15yr Wedding Anniversary! Since our kiddos are such a huge part of our 15yr marriage, we decided we definitely wanted to include them in whatever we planned vs. going just the two of us. What better way than a brand new Disney experience!!! The kids have no clue, so the cruise will be another big surprise trip for them........I LOVE surprises!

Hi All!

So after the initial excitement I have realised that this date is a little too close to my little sisters wedding to comfortably get and that is most important. so we have already jumped ship to the EBPC.

I hope you all have the most fantastic Cruise

Hello all! Another family here from TN on the cruise!! My husband, daughter (11 yo when we sail), and I have taken the eastern route 2 years ago on the Fantasy and wanted to take the western the moment we got off the ship. Can't wait!!

Tennessee is definitely represented on our cruise! LOL

But this was the date and ship our family agreed on.
Going as a family cruise with the whole family and hopefully family friends.
When we are booked I'll log back in and update with who is joining us (hopefully it will be a large group).
Thanks and hope to talk to you guys soon.

Just booked our trip! So excited to start planning our vacation. We are new to cruising so looking for lots of advice and tips.

Excited about the trip. My parents, my children's Godparents, my sister and her children and me and my children are all booked!! Age range from 1 year old up to 67 years. It should be a blast. Even with our large group. I'm excited to meet others. We all live in St. Louis, MO.

I know exactly where you live! How cool! TN is definitely representing on this cruise; unfortunately we had to switch to a cruise on the Magic. Our fall break is a week later than we expected. You will love the Fantasy--it is super nice!!!

Ladycp, welcome! Just knoticed you are from AZ?! Where at? We are too and staying at the POP before our cruise too for a five night wdw fun fiesta!

Hi everyone!! This will be my family's first cruise. I am so excited. We lived in TN up until Aug 2013, when we relocated to AZ for my work. I am keeping the cruise a surprise for my daughter who is six, and I am also planning a vow renewal that is going to be a surprise for my husband. I am wondering if anyone has done a weeding or vow renewal during the cruise when it was only their family? I had asked if the coordinator could help me with my dress and I was told they did not do that. I am not exactly sure how I am suppose to get ready when no one else will be going with us to help. Any ideas would be appreciated.
