Inaugural 3/31/12 Fantasy Cruise

[HebeJebe]

SWA Flight 2539 BWI-MCO $143.20
United Flight 0461 MCO-BWI 122.80

Hit my target of less than $300.

Are those direct flights? If so gold star to you!

So glad someone else here is doing the 5k. I am now on week 3 of "Couch to 5K" so I hope to right there with you.

I have been doing my own version of C25K. This week was a 5 minute warm up and then 2 minutes jog and 2 minutes walk to the 5K point. My personal trainer had be doing some exercises that will help with the running. At this point I am at about a 45 minute 5K. I would love to get it closer to 30 minutes, but I am not going to sweat it, if the speed is there. It is more important to get to a healthier weight and maybe someday I will be able to run a Disney Marathon in the next 2 years.

Almost, coming home yes, going down is MCO by way of Islip

PHL (Phildelphia) to MCO ... $119 (non-stop / direct) ... and we thought that was A LOT! gotta LUV Southwest!


Those of you looking to fly out of BWI ... remember to check SWA flights from Philadelphia ... or Air Tran out of Atlantic City.

Just wanted to say congrats to all the people that are meeting their running goals. I am actually off in 2 weeks to run the Princess Half. I'm hoping to run the Castaway 5k on this cruise but it depends on the heat. We found out a few weeks ago that I'm expecting our 2nd child so I'm getting slowed down a little. Good luck to everyone!

THE DREAM TEAM is NOW A FANTASY!

Some of you know I have had the same DCL server throughout six weeks of sailing on the Magic (2008, 2009 and 2010). Unfortunately for me, he moved to the Dream in 2011. After MUCH pleading (on our part), he agreed to move to the Fantasy.

My server was with a group of six servers known as "The Dream Team." I will post the names of his five co-horts, for use at your own discretion (as desired). Feel free to request any of these servers on the Maiden Fantasy, or another upcoming Fantasy or Dream cruise:

FANTASY: Krisztian Kiss, Daniel Javor or Zsolt Szep
DREAM: Gábor Németh or Csuka Mihaly

If you would like to know the name of the server I request ... please send me a PM, and let me know if you are 1st or 2nd seating (I try not to give out the name too often, so I can pretty much guarantee I will not have competition for him).

If you are interested in joining us for the 2nd seating of the MV, there are two seats open at our tabletop of eight.

Hello everybody!

I just wanted to give those who are not on the Facebook group a heads up. I will be putting together a Pink Champagne Girls meet up. It will be during the afternoon on the first sea day. I am waiting to hear back from DCL for the specifics. I have requested a meeting area for our a event and a sommelier for us and will be ordering several bottles of champagne. I will be providing the tiaras and pink feather boas for everyone as well.

If DCL comes through the charge will be $10 per person for guzzlers, $5 for sippers and no cost for those that don't drink but want to join the fun. This will by no means cover the expense but will certainly help me foot the bill If they don't come through for us I do have a plan B in place.

If you sign up you must wear a pink shirt to the meet up. At this event guys WILL be welcome. BUT they MUST wear a pink shirt, feather boa and tiara the WHOLE time. We do have one of the guys planning to join so far

If you plan to come I need your names and your cabin number just in case there are any last minute changes and I need to contact you. Just email me at FantasyMV@gmail.com back with the info.

Ready for a fun and fizzy time!
Terrie

I signed us up!

DH was half listening as usual.......all he said was "I don't have a pink shirt"
I think he missed the part about having to wear a pink boa, and tiara.
April fools!!

Does anyone know anything about Satellite Falls? It's a new, adult-only feature only found on the Fantasy. Here's what the DCL website says about it:

In addition to Quiet Cove Pool and Cove Bar on the Disney Fantasy, Guests ages 18 and older can enjoy moments away from the little ones at a new adult-exclusive area—Satellite Falls!

This peaceful area is located on Deck 13, Forward. Here, you can cool off with a refreshing dip in Satellite Falls, a circular splash pool with benches and a gently cascading rain curtain. Or, soak up the sun in a lounger on Satellite Sun Deck.

Whether you're seeking soothing moments of poolside serenity or a unique, new pool experience, Satellite Falls offers extra ways to relax and unwind.

There's no photo or illustration, and it's definitely not part of the Quiet Cove pool, which is on deck 11. It's also not shown anywhere on the deck plan.

Anyone have any idea? Sorry if this has already been discussed.

Thanks,
Richard

I know there is a picture of it somewhere on the FB page. Heading out now but I know someone can point it out. There is an album of pictures of the ship on that page.

I read something about it earlier, on the Dream, it is just a seating area, on the Fantasy, they are making a pool out of the area. Sounds like a nice relaxing area, will have to check it out.

I don't see why not I'll add iPod and speakers to my packing list

Nice, very nice! I like that area on the Dream, to make it kid free - even better! There isn't a pool on the Dream, that is a circular bench that is super comfy.
