Inaugural 3/31/12 Fantasy Cruise

[Relaxin']

We have decided to go for it. Another member added to the Cdn. club. Hope that does not mean we have to drink Cdn. Club, I prefer a Margarita on the rocks.

I've been to Canada, and once, we had some Canadian Boy Scouts staying in our house for a week. Does that get me into the club?

Sounds like you meet the membership requirements.

Anyone is welcome, we won't turn people away

Guess I can give you the now that you commited. I am Jon and my DW is Candida. This will be our third DCL cruise. We'll have to try for a pre-cruise meet.

Ooooh...forgot to add that I always take off of work on December 26 to celebrate Boxing Day. I usually celebrate by shopping clearance sales and eating left-over Christmas desserts for breakfast. Maybe there is some other tradition I should add?

 

[Enna]

count me in - lunch sounds good to me or how about time in the cove(is it still called that on the Dream?)chat over a coffee?

Count me in on that, too!

 

[Nevada]

Hi everyone!

I've been book since Day 1 and moved my reservation which suits me much better!

We are very excited! We'll be on the Dream on the 26th also. Anyone else?

Does everyone here have room numbers reserved? Which is more preferable? Starboard or Port?

Will Brent be the CD for the Fantasy?

 

[jamielynn]

Welcome Nevada.

There are several people on the MV of the Dream on here too. Just remember not to abandon this thread too.

 

[jamielynn]

There is usually a formal night and a semi formal night on a 7 night cruise. I've seen all kinds of fancy clothes for the formal night. Some men do wear tuxes and some just wear a jacket and tie. If your husband is game for the tux, go for it!

Thanks DCLShel

I noticed that Jamielynn is a runner. I know we are over a year away, but looking forward to the Castaway Cay 5K. We had about 22 people running on January 5/11. Discovered that some of the staff ran up the hill and back on St. Thomas. Not my kind of running, but my DH would have loved to join them.

 

[Enna]

Count me in for the 5k. DD will probably run it, too.

We have only been on the 3/4 night cruises. I know that the Caribbean/Nassau cruises have been more relaxed on the dress code over the years. My question is... This IS a 7 day cruise AND a MV. What do you, as the MV community, think the odds of a formal night will be? Hubby is planning a coat and Tie for Remy but said he is game for a penguin suit if there is a "Real" Formal night.

Hi neighbor! You and my DISfriends from the WBTA talked us into it! I just sent our TA an email asking her to move one of our other Fantasy reservations to the MV. We really wanted to do it originally, but it fell the week after spring break. Now it will perfectly overlap spring break! Unfortunately we hesitated a week or two since she first got us the information, so the prime oceanview rooms were all go.

DH has a tux that he's worn on our last 2 cruises, so I assume he'll bring it on this one, so your DH won't be alone. Every 7nt cruise we've been on with DCL has had a formal night and semi-formal night as others have mentioned. I assume that trend will continue.

Great to see you here!! John will be wearing his tux and his white dinner jacket as usual!!

aboard, so I think that brings us up to 4 or 5 families from the WBTA 2010. Just another 100 or so to convert.

I'll be doing the tux thing as well.

As I said previously, I have been busy with the holidays and family health issues. That being said I am going to try to get more active very soon.

Latest news is that your youngest DD Samantha is moving to Honolulu for six months before she goes to law school. She was able to transfer with her present employer so she is very excited. Samantha will be leaving by the end of the month so you can imagine between her packing, listing stuff on Craig's list and weekend garage sales, it has been pretty hectic around here.

If anyone has anything to add to the "welcome wagon" message, please PM me.

WOO HOO!

I will have to "break" the news to him

Looks like you are about 10 min from us. We should get together after your "Dream" trip so you can tell me all about it and I can get even more antsy for the next 14 months

Started the year before baby was born. Trying to get back there. On the fence about the Oct Wine and Dine at Epcot. Can you send me any info on this?

I'd be up to a CC 5K. The only time I run is on Disney property! (did Mickey Halloween 5K) The rest of the time, I just walk~

Welcome aboard! First time for us on a maiden voyage too! We would love to do Alaska one day. In the meantime we are looking forwad to being on the Dream in May and a B2B on the Dream for the 4 day DVC Member's cruise in September and the 3 days prior. Congratulations on the new addition to the family!

Thanks!! We have been on two cruises already (3 night Bahama cruise and 7 day Western Carib).. Always been with all the inlaws, which is fine, so a nice cruise alone before all the fun starts

 

[xrobmn]

xrobmn- Welcome aboard and congrats on the new baby!!!

Thanks

The CC 5 run is very informal. The Navigator will indicate the meeting spot, the runners are the first off the ship, and we are told where to run. Pretty simple - run through the the main beach towards the airstrip, down to Serenity Bay, back to the loop off the airstrip, and then back to the ship via the main beach. At the end, there was a CM awaiting with a towel and and Disney Cruise Line Water Bottle. I used the water bottle for a Margarita drink in my room, and it still tastes a little like lime, and I am using it as my water bottle at work. If nothing else, it is brings back good memories.
