Good morning fellow cruisers. Another week has gone by.
We now have only

weeks to go to the Fantasy.

A very Happy Easter and Passover to all my fellow Fantasy Fanatics! I hope whichever you observe today is special Lucky me, we celebrate both! I'm still waiting for trippies from the Fantasy MV passengers who returned yesterday, but their tips, responses, and posts are appearing on numerous threads, and it all sounds great! Don't forget to drop in to our group if you're on fb and friend those of us already there. The link is a couple of posts back.

Have a great day!

Hi Texas! I didn't get your request to join the group. You might want to check it again, or just friend me (Bobbi James), and I'll send you an invite. Hope to see you there!

Happy Easter!

Just requested to join the fb group.

We have 2 one week trips planned to WDW this summer, one in June and one in July (the benefits of living in FL). In June we'll be offsite as usual but in July we'll be at Saratoga Springs. Not too much planning to be done for these trips as we probably won't spend every day at the parks.

I think my 4.5 year old is as excited as I am for our Fantasy cruise, she keeps telling everyone we're going on the Disney Fantasy next summer!

Howdy fellow Father's Day Eastern Fantasy Fanatics!! My spring break ended today, and it was awfully hard to get motivated to go back to work. Fortunately, I only had to remember that today is exactly two months until I will arrive at WDW!! There's somthing to keep me motivated.

I'm still trolling around for a proper MV trippie. I hope those folk start writing soon...

Sounds like we'll be at WDW at the same time!

I was there in December with just my daughter (we were supposed to go in October as a family for her birthday but both kids got sick). I ended up rescheduling for December but the scheduling only worked out that she and I could go. I'm kinda sad to be missing the Flower and Garden Festival this year but it just didn't work out for me to get up there.

Your signature says July 2012; are you going twice in two months? We'll be there June 10 - 15 and a day at LEGOland on the 14th. That part is a surprise for my DS, who is a LEGO maniac.

I couldn't be more excited! I can't believe there are still no full blown trippies from the MV folk. For those of you who have not joined the facebook group yet, menus and navigators from the MV are posted there. You can find them here on the DIS, but I've got them all centralized for easy access on our fb page.

Yes! We booked July first and then the June opportunity came up so we'll be there a week in June as well. DH figures we either pay for camp for the kids for a week or we can go to Orlando for a week. July we traded into Saratoga Springs with our Hilton timeshare and June was an extra week we were given for a very good rate when we deposited our Sanibel week this year. We'll be staying off property at one of the Marriott timeshares. I may even be there twice in July. The weekend before we're scheduled to go there's a taekwondo tournament at Coronado Springs that DS wants to participate in. He and I may go up for that, come home for a week and then the whole family go up the next weekend. We won't be at the parks every day during either week we're there. We'll be spending lots of time at the pool and hanging out at the resort. Even though we have our own pool there's something about resort and cruise ship pools that my kids just love. DH can't understand it. May make a trip to Legoland as well and probably the water parks.

Last year was the first year we didn't go for a week in early June right after school got in a long time (we had a family reunion-type trip to CT for Father's Day weekend instead). We like early June because its not as hot and isn't as crowded yet. Our schools get out really early in South Florida (although this year its a bit later than it has been in the past). I haven't been to Orlando in July in years and its something I've avoided but I couldn't pass up DH actually wanting to stay on Disney property. He's not as crazy about Disney as I am.

That's me being green with envy! Lucky you!! DH and I were recently talking about retiring to Celebration one day, so we could visit Disney frequently with that FL resident discount. Maybe, if it's not too crazy, we can try to meet up for a bit at WDW in June, so the kids could get acquainted.

Last time we went WDW it was early April for spring break, and I actually thought it was a little too chilly in the mornings. DH and I took our first vacation together there in July, and it was pretty sweltering. Early June sounds good to me!
