June 9, 2012 Fantasy

[PoeticMoe]

Hello!!!

We are so excited to be joining you on this cruise! We rebooked for this one while we were onboard the Magic for the Dec. 18-29th Christmas cruise. We're going on the Dream this summer, which is exciting, but I think I'm more excited about this one because it's for seven days while the Dream is only five. After doing (and LOVING an 11-night), I think I'm going to have to be pushed off the boat on the last day of these shorter itineraries!

We have three children Brendan (11 at sailing), Tristan (9 at sailing), and Madison (turning 5 two months after sailing).

I will send a request via Facebook! I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Welcome to our little corner of the Dis boards! My son will also be 11 when we sail.

Just catching up on all my fellow Fantastic Fantasy Fanatics You guys have been busy will I was gone...

So I just got a welcome to your Disney Cruise flyer for the June 9th 2012 Eastern Caribbean cruise (not the western that we signed up for).

So anyone think they actually changed the itinerary? I looked on the Disney cruise web site and it is still listed as a western cruise.

I also got the eastern and the western flyer, I just think they screwed up.

Anyone have a name suggestion for our little group?

Pirates and Parrotheads sail the Caribbean?
Living the Dream on the Fantasy?
Sailing into Summer on the Fantasy?
Frenzy on the Fantasy (or Friend-zy on the Fantasy for a play on words?)
Fins up on the Fantasy (incorporates Jimmy B into the mix lol)
I've only crusied DCL in December and we've always had a Christmas theme to it, so I'm coming up with some lame suggestions.

Of course I love all the Buffett inspired names...I'm glad we have fellow parrotheads on board no matter what our group name is. Maybe we should go to Margaritaville in Grand Cayman....

How about the Fantastic Fantasy Fanatics!

I love it!!! I think this one could be the winner.

I'm glad you're joing us! I hope you give us a mini TR of your Dream cruise this summer.

Ok, I just updated my first post with the names of all the new people, if I have someones info wrong just let me know. I thought it would be nice to have it all on the first post so when we do FE we can easily see the ages of the kids. My new New Years Resolution is to make more time in my day for the Dis boards and our group of Fantastic Fantasy Fanatics.

Welcome Vanessa and family !

I still gotta get myself to the facebook crew..
Saw the christening of the dream today (video- not for real) but it was toooo coool

 

[PoeticMoe]

Ok, now I'm really confused. Today I received two Welcome Packets from DCL - one for the Western AND one for the Eastern routes! Has anyone confirmed yet if we're doing East or West? Have they changed us from Western Caribbean? I think I'll call DCL now..

Hi again...Just checking in, too. I also like the Fantastic Fantasy Fanatics! I checked roll call on the first page and realized that I had omitted DD's age...she'll turn 14 two days after the cruise is over. It'll make the tween/teen club thing interesting! At least I am sure she can enjoy the Chill Spa! I got her a 1/2 hour massage as a gift and she loved, loved, loved it!

Hope you enjoy the rest of winter! Here in the UP of Michigan it's been cold but not too snowy (yet!). As a teacher I'm waiting for a snow day here or there but no luck yet!

Glad the school calender worked our for you, Jodijo! We actually get done on the 2nd of June (and if DD has to miss the last couple of days of school it doesn't really matter that much)!

Can't wait for those trip & ROOM reports to start coming in from the Dream. We're on Deck 9 (inside Cat 10A). How about everyone else?

We also got a recent trip "pack" (in addition to the one we got a couple of months ago) but ours was for the Western. We, too, booked on the first day.

It seems like the Fantastic Fantasy Fanatics is the consensus so I'll get to work!
I've had the week from hell- One kid on crutches from a dislocated knee, 3 kids with viral infections and one case of lice! (and a Belated Birthday Party, lots of overtime and GIrl SCout Cookie Sales all added into that mix!)

Hopefully this week will be a bit more calm and I will have time to make something.

Hope everyone has a great week.

 

[VMinick]

Now that is a bad/crazy week, Andrea! I hope things are going better!!!

 

[VMinick]

Who else is going? It's going to be me Lynette, DH Chris, DD (16) Delaney, and DD (13) Marley (at time of cruise).


Roll Call

VMinick, Vanessa, DH Matt, DS(11) DS(9)

Can we add DD (4) to the roll call with us? She'd be kind of mad if we left her home while we sailed with the princesses!

 

[pegthelawyer]

Happy Day Fantastic Fantasy Fanatics!

Here is my first completed logo. I have a couple others in mind if this one doesn't "fit" our group. Or if you like this one but think a diff font or character would be better then let me know and I can tweek it a bit.

Very cool! You have talent! I can see I will be admiring your door graphics

One of my son's fav is chip and dale....so it be good for him too

A character question? Do we know who's "boat" it is yet?
(like the Dream is Kind of Donald's boat?...donald statue in lobby etc...)
We could do one with that character on it too! Just a thought

Thanks

tried to find out who the character would be (asked on the general board) but no one answered..I can try again!

Hi there,

We will be joining you on this cruise. This will be my 8th DCL cruise, DH's 7th, DS 6th (Grady who will be 11 and 2 weeks from turning 12 - so this will be his Birthday cruise) and DD 6th (Megan who will be 9 on this cruise). We just finished an Eastern on the Magic and booked the June 23rd cruise, but this week worked a lot better for us. We will be cruising with our friends and her sister is looking at booking it too.

We are in a 6a - room #9674 - our first veranda as a family!

I'm booked with a friend on the Dream (My cruise #7 in September and that will be my first veranda experience) We've always had either inside staterooms or oceanview.

Here is my first completed logo. I have a couple others in mind if this one doesn't "fit" our group. Or if you like this one but think a diff font or character would be better then let me know and I can tweek it a bit.

Love it!!! I just love having a logo for the cruise! When we get the final image can it be a little smaller so it will fit in my Signature line?

I will need to switch the one I have now with the new one.

Our family has been making bets on who it will be also. We think it's Minnie's turn.

Just checking in! Welcome to everyone that's new! Glad to see others joining the group. Love the logo, too!
