July 4, 2015 - Celebrate Aboard the Fantasy

[Ferrentinos]

Is there a better way to celebrate the 4th of July than aboard the Disney Fantasy?

Hopefully there are lots out there who will join in this thread as we count down to our Caribbean vacation together!

Let me introduce ourselves - Sailing in our 7A cabin will be myself (36 years at sail date), DH (39 years at sail date) and DD (4.5 years at the sail date). We are frequent WDW visitors and have sailed once aboard DCL out of NYC in 2012 on the Magic.

I'd like to do a FE exchange however as we have only sailed once aboard DCL I might need help with organizing this.

Please join as we get ready to embark on our voyage of Disney fun and "FANTASY"!

I'm sad to say that i have had to cancel our reservation aboard the Fantasy. Please feel free to discuss and share your excitement on this thread but I will not be updating the lists any longer. Have a magical cruise!

We have 3 At-Sea Days that we could use for FE Exchanges or we could just deliver them when we are able to - we'll have to decide that as a group as we get closer.

Yay! Someone else to join in our excitement! I was starting to think the ship would be empty of dis'ers! I guess it is a while away - but we are super excited that I couldn't help starting a thread! So fun that your friends are cruising with you. I'm sure the kids will love that!! Thanks for joining the thread. Hopefully more will join us soon!

Yay! I'm so excited to find a group with these dates. I didn't see a Facebook group yet. We are first time DCL cruisers. We're coming with a group, and we are excited to be part of the FE exchange. Our DD (14) and DS (11) are so excited to meet other kids that may be on the cruise as well. Let the countdown begin.

Great! I added you in.

Here's some info for the FE: My DS will be 11 and DD will be 14. We are on deck 6.

Hi everyone. We are the parents and grandparents of Ravenpartyof4 and will also be on the July 4, 2015 cruise on the Fantasy. Looking forward to all the info from everyone. Planning and anticipation is half the fun. Can't wait! We also are on deck 6. Really not sure about the fish extenders...still new to all of this. LOL

 

[Ravenpartyof4]

We will also be traveling with friends. Hopefully I'll get them on here soon.

Hello! We are ready to cruise in July, 2015! We sailed on the Dream in 2011 and did not do the FE and are excited to give it a try during this cruise! Can't wait to cruise with our friends!

 

[happydisneymom]

I'm so excited you found this thread! So happy to hear that your family is sailing as well! I added you to the Dis'ers Coming Aboard thread. We participated in a FE exchange in 2012 and LOVED it! It was super fun! I searched for the group but was also unable to find it. Do you have the security settings too high? I actually ordered my FE from Etsy in 2012. I plan to use the same one. I actually take it to WDW when we visit and leave presents in it for DD!

Awesome you'll have to give details for the FE exchange

Welcome! I added you to our thread for the FE. We will have to all start talking about the FE exchange! It is really fun! Plus since we are all in the early stages we can decide how we want to do it!

We will also be traveling with friends. Hopefully I'll get them on here soon.

Get them on here! The more the merrier with Mickey!

We're going to have so much fun.

I'm not quite sure why the phones do that. Sometimes I can't see everything through my phone either.

So weird!

Happy Easter fellow cruisers! This time next year we will be getting so close to our sail date!!!

 

[happydisneymom]

Happy Easter! It was such a busy day that I ran out of the house forgetting my phone (felt a little lost) So happy to see more fellow cruisers added . YaY!! we are going to have a great time, 439 more days to go.
I am such a planner and I have been looking on the boards for information and experiences on excursions (it's so much fun). This will be our 4th Disney Cruise and I feel like it's my first, too excited.
I am going to see if our friends would like to join the DIS group.

 

[happydisneymom]

I am so not crafty but I am attempting to make my own FE. I bought material after looking on the forums to practice. I had my intern show me how to sew by hand.eeeek
