Livin on a Fantasy!! September 29, 2012 Disney Fantasy

[Tinkerbell0614]

Wow, is DCL having a special? Welcome aboard to all of you, especially Brooklyn. Nice to see a fellow NYer.

Lori already beat me to it and posted the Facebook page (thanks Lori).

I see ucallmetink's update. Also, I see a new entry from Tinkerbell0614 (Happy Flag Day, btw), did you change your stateroom number? I had another entry for you with the # 10592. I'll get an update posted this weekend. I have a busy one too. Driving down to Columbia, MD to take my daughter to see the Beach Boys at the Merriweather Pavilion. I'm staying overnight, so I have to log in after the concert to take care of booking stuff for the cruise. Then I have to get up bright and early at 5:00 to drive home in time for my son's game in CT. Then after the game, we have to book to make it back to NJ for my other daughter's concert. I'm going to be exhausted. What we do for our kids.

Yes we have changed our stateroom and will no longer be doing the FE
But we are very excited to be getting so close to our cruise! I am the admin of the fb group so if you would like to become one as well just let me know!!! Welcome to all the new members!!! And thank you for the happy flag day! It's still strange to me to have a birthday on a holiday like that hahahahaha

Anybody staying at the Hyatt the night before the cruise?

Our daughter (TrojanJulez) and family are too. Our planes land around 7 pm. Getting really excited now!

We originally booked our cruise while we were onboard the Magic in October of 2010. We were booked on the June 23, 2012 sailing for my DGD's 7th birthday. My DD found out she was pregnant and the baby wouldn't be old enough to sail on that cruise. We had to change our date to September 29, 2012. I've been looking forward to sailing on the Fantasy for so long. I can't believe it's just like 3 more months now!! I can't wait!!

Just joined the FE group. This will be my 9th DCL cruise and DW's 4th one. We were on the Dream in December and loved it so we're looking forward to spending a week on her sister. We booked this cruise last year on the Disney Wonder in Alaska. My name is Tommy and my wife goes by Ginny. We booked the first Atlantis sub ride in Grand Cayman. Adult ruins departure in Costa Maya and the clear kayak and snorkel in Cozmel. We're also doing brunch and dinner at Palo along with dinner at Remy one night.

Just booked our cruise today. Can I join the facebook page? We are a family of four. ...2 DD ages 8 and 5. Anyone looking to share a cabana on CC...would be willing to share the cost.

 

[jonisane]

Hey is there anyone in our group from GA?

We live in Lexington South Carolina......we're neighbors

 

[karin037]

Just did all my reservations and I got everything I wanted! There was even a cabana on Serenity Bay, #20. I booked Remy for Pirate night, Palo brunch the first sea day and the Chacchoben Ruins, adult departure. Can't believe how easy it was. The last time I did this, I remember it being such a hassle. This time it was so easy.

Congrats on getting the cabana!! I was really surprised to see 2 available on the family beach when I booked mine. I had to make a quick decision, #3 or #6. I decided on #3. I'm so glad I got it!!

Jonisane,can I ask what excursions are you looking at booking.My two daughters are really close to the age of yours at 7 and 5.I was thinking of doing the 4 in1 adventure at Castaway cay and the furycatamaran,otherwise I am just going to shop at the other ports.

What is Remy for Pirate Night. Congrats to all that booked !!! I can't do anything until first week of July !

 

[jonisane]

Really thinking about passing on excursions. We really want to relax and enjoy the boat. We are going to CC but will probably stay on the boat for the other ports.

Thanks so much for posting the list. No wonder this group seems quiet, there don't seem to be very many of us at all.

I think there's actually quite a few more that have signed up that aren't on the list! I know I filled out the form and sent it, but apparently it was never received! And I know a few other people have said the same thing...

 

[trickiwoo]

Let me double check tonight. I may have missed it when I deleted/merged duplicate entries.

I just checked. You're not in there. Please resubmit. Thanks.

I just resubmitted! Did it work this time???

Oh no, that's fine. As long as a current member of the group is admin, we're in good shape.

What is Remy for Pirate Night. Congrats to all that booked !!! I can't do anything until first week of July !

I meant I booked Remy for Pirate night, which is the Wednesday we are in Cozumel. I decided that's the best night because there is no show to miss, it's my least favorite menu and I'm not into the crowds that the deck party draws.

Got it, Chris and Lindsay

I just resubmitted my info and my daughter's (ecj922). We also would like to participate in the FE.

Oh thank you gometros. I really have to read up on the Fantasy a little more. This cruise was so last minute for us---we usually book like 12-18 months in advance. This one is 4 months and I feel really behind in things ! Congrats on getting the night you wanted

3 months, 1 week and 4 days to be exact

So excited to have found this post! We just switched from a 3 day to this 7 day on the Fantasy and we couldn't be more excited! We have done Disney World twice in the past and we wanted to try something a little different. We had planned on doing WDW for 3 nts and then the 3 nt cruise on the Dream but...last minute (sort of) we decided to change things up.

So, to introduce ourselves to the group - my husband and I (Casey (35) and Cameron (37) have been married for 13 yrs. We were highschool sweethearts and will have been together for 20 YEARS in September! Yeah, crazy, I know!

Our kids:

Alex (11) is going into jr high this year, plays hockey for Wyandotte Warriors, loves dogs, popcorn and all things Disney

Abby Kate (turns 9 in Sept) going into 4th grade, 1st yr cheering for Wyandotte Indians - Freshman, loves animals (wants to be a vet for Disney's Animal Kingdom someday), loves AG dolls & her My Disney Doll - and all things Disney.

The other two:
We have 2 GIANT dogs Moses (Lab) and Rufus (English Mastiff) that will be staying home with our incredible baby-sitter/housesitter.

That's us! We're really looking forward to this vacation - it'll be our first time cruising and we're doing it right - DISNEY!!!

 

[C8eOg]

Haven't changed my signature line yet - guess I'll have to do that!

 

[C8eOg]

I have an Abby that will turn 9 just before we leave for the cruise! She will be thrilled to get to meet new friends on board!

My siggy says my kids ages now, but on board Abby will also be 8 and she will be thrilled to have two and counting friends to become inseparable from. If anyone has FaceTime they can chat with us as we get closer. We also have two little boys who will be 4 and 3 then. Colin turns 3 the day before we board. His birthday will be spent either driving down or maybe at Kennedy if we can swing it. I am less worried about them because they are boys and will have each other.

I'm reposting the link to the form for new cruisers who have joined us recently. Since I still haven't recreated Michelle's original web page, I'll post the names of who is in for the FE later this week.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/embeddedform?formkey=dFFycTJxY0thUjduTDR0ck5wWUhwX3c6MQ

Reposting the link to the sign up form, since we've had a few new families join our cruise.

I see I have a few updates since the last time I posted the list, so I owe you all an update this week. Going to a ball game tonight, so probably tomorrow night.
