Happy Saturday

As I said last week, i've started reading other's trip reports.

I wondered if anyone else in our group has written one?

They don't have to be on the fantasy. Just a fun thing to share.

You can find mine in my signature. It was a 5-night wonder cruise so not at all relevant to this cruise, but you get to meet us!

Please share your reports or travel blogs if you have them.
I'd love to read them!

It's Julie!!
It's Fun to read all the info.....

I think if we want to book AoA we'd better do it soon!

We've done time before and after the cruise and we found it more relaxing to do the parks before.
It was also a massive shock to get off the cruise and then have to pay for everything! I remember one morning at POFQ we had the breakfast and our youngest said 'can I go and get some more bacon'? And she was dismayed when we said she couldn't!

What does AoA stand for?

What does AoA stand for?

Art of Animation.

We've actually decided on Coronado Springs. Seemed a happy medium to suit all, 10yrs to 65!

It's been a week of exciting planning things here!

First, our ticker fell below 200!

Then we booked our disney package for before the cruise!

And then I started making FE gifts!

Anyone want to share pictures of their Fish Extenders?

Here's ours. I'm no seamstress but it was fun to make! I'm glad to be using it again!

And here's another trip report i've enjoyed.

Hello. Just read through the updated posts and facebook. I have updated the FE list. There are currently 20 families.

At this time, it looks like my family will be switching cruises. I have removed us from the FE list. Now I am seeking someone else to take over the FE organizing for this cruise. Anyo


Sad face Where do I send my information now?

Hey Guys and Gals,
I have taken over the organization of the FE and I am actually pretty excited about it.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Also as it gets closer we will start talking about how you guys want to handle the FE's and also depending on how many we have if we want to split up the list into groups.....

Here is the information we need for the FE list.... You can message that information to me here on Facebook or PM the information to me at the DIS....
Thanks again and I can't wait to meet you all!!!
Stateroom Number
Last Name
First Names, gender and ages of people in your cabin
Disboards name
Where you are from
Favorite Characters
Wine/Alcohol preferences
Allergies
Misc Info you want included

 

[popisme]

Okay..... So I have made some adjustments to the FE list so it makes things easier for me and I am kinda a freak about organization. I have double checked it to make sure I didn't lose anything but if you guys could go in and double check your family's information and let me know if I messed anything up. ;0)


I have also put a running total at the top of the sheet in the groups that I usually make stuff for. Let me know if you guys would like it broken down in other ways...

Hi Teresa
Did you message this to Mariana?

 

[fredgirls]

A discussion has been re-started on naming our cruise.

This is just for fun. Some people use it to make magnets or t-shirts or incorporate it into FE gifts. Once we have a name then we make a graphic/logo to go with it.

If you have any suggestions then share them here!

Here's some suggestions so far. I'll post any new suggestions between the 2 sites. At some point I'm thinking someone will make a shortlist and a poll?

A Fantasy fulfilled in February

Fantasy Island Tour

Fantastic Winter Escape to the Islands

Cruisin' out of the winter blues

Juanna go on the Fantasy?

Juanna fantastical winter escape?

Family, Friends and Fantasy

Frozen Free on the Fantasy

We don't won't to build a snowman

Some cruises are worth melting for

Snowman free on the Fantasy

Olaf out loud on the Fantasy!

Winter? #aintnobodygottimeforthat


Get those thinking caps on and come up with some suggestions!

HI There Dreams1968!
Did someone get in touch re. the FE?
If not you can send you details to "popisme". She has kindly taken on the organization of the FE group. Her last post is just before yours on the previous page.

 

[fredgirls]

So, a few weeks have past, and I don't know about you, but we're at last back into the swing of school and that routine!

Anyone else had any more thoughts on naming our group?

I posted a couple of new suggestions on the FB page today.

Wonderful, Magical, Fantasy Dreamers

Mickey's Castaway Cruisers

or to acknowledge the Spanish influence of Puerto Rico…

Fantasy Fandangos

Maybe we should have a poll? Its really easy to set one up here. Thoughts anyone?
