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

[C8eOg]

I am def an overplanner and I'd prohibit be embarrassed to admit it anywhere else but I got the bags out last night. Started packing (Just the FE's are packed) and I have started pulling some sundresses out for the trip. We've had such a child summer lately that my pool and summer clothes aren't really being utilized. Haven't stated packing clothes yet but it was just easier than having all my FE stuff out. Waiting on the docs now. Wooohoooo! So excited!

auto-correct makes it interesting sometimes.

I really hate auto-correct

I don't care much for auto correct either.
I don't think that you are packing too soon. We have had our suitcases "at the ready" for a couple weeks now. The average "Joe" on the street has no clue to what this trip means to us. We have had this trip planned for almost 3 years. It's not like we just jumped in the car to take a spur of the moment, weekend road trip.
Since we are flying down to Orlando a couple days before we sail, I have only 36 more days to pack! I better get busy!

I just got my luggage tags and cruise documents in the mail!!!

I got a planning guide but no formal docs or luggage tags. Will it come separately? I hope I'm not missing anything!

I don't know
I'd send off an e-mail, through the DCL website to inquire.

Hi everyone!

We just booked last night. Will go back and catch up on who's sailing and what's happening but wanted to say Hi first

I am Bobbie and am traveling with my boyfriend Dave and our two littlest children. Matthew is 3 1/2 and Daniel is 2. We also have 4 college age kids who won't be with us on this one

We have had a bit of a rough year. Two second trimester pregnancy losses within 6 months, Noah was born sleeping at 16 weeks on Jan 31 and Sarah was born sleeping at 17 weeks 3 days on August 2. We are so ready to be cruising again! This is my 23rd cruise and Dave's 21st. This is only our second Disney though. But we loved our Magic cruise! Daniel has cruised once and Matthew 3 other times.

I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and seeing what is planned. Time to make some magnets and a fish extender!! Can't wait... we loved every second of our last Disney cruise. You know when you sit there and try and think what would be your ultimate cruise. You think of a cruise line and a ship that would be ideal. Well if asked... this would be it for me! I am beyond thrilled to be cruising this line and ship. Hope everyone is having a great week

Our facebook's are Bobbie Damico and David Darrohn if there are any FBers out there who want to "friend request" us. I did request to join the group

Happy planning!

I really hate auto-correct

There's a website dedicated to auto correct errors. Some of the stuff is ROTFL funny.

Fixed in the spreadsheet, but whomever is managing the FE list may want to make note of this.

So sorry about the rough year, but I have to say I love how you refer to their births. I had never heard it put that way. Welcome aboard.

 

[Starshine95123]

Welcome aboard Bobbie. I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious little ones. You have indeed had a rough year. Check the links in gometros signature to add your names to our little group.

 

[Starshine95123]

Okay, I'm totally confused. The itinerary says we now arrive in Grand Cayman at 11:30. We have an excursion at 10:45. One section says we have the excursion booked, another section says we don't have any excursions booked.

I haven't received any notification that we will arrive later in GC. Did I miss something?

 

[C8eOg]

So my travel agent said we actually arrive about an hour before the actual arrival times but that they pad the times. They have people meet on board the ship and a CM will take us to our excursion. You can check with Disney to be sure but that's what I've heard and having booked through Disney, I'm sure they will make it work out some how

 

[kimmcbee]

We got our other packet in the mail today!!!! Now all of us have our tickets. I am way to excited.

Mom had her surgery last week and is doing well so far. take her back to the Dr this afternoon. Maybe she can start walking today. she is going nuts staying in the house.

 

[C8eOg]

We did not get our docs today I will be waiting by my mailbox tomorrow morning!

 

[aaklang]

Welcome to our newest families! Bobbie, so sorry to hear about your babies. I hope being on the cruise and getting a chance to get away for a bit is helpful. Have you ever visited the website Faces of Loss, Faces of Hope (www.facesofloss.com)? I have heard really good things from others that it can help with the healing process. We look forward to meeting you and your family on the cruise.

No docs yet for us. We got the planning guide but no luggage tags. Hoping they come soon. Everything gets sent to husband's work address, so I don't have the excitement/disappointment when I check the mail every day.

I've had 11:30 as the time for Grand Cayman for awhile, so not sure when they switched it. It's been at least several weeks though.

What's everyone doing in Grand Cayman? We haven't figured that one out yet. We are set for the other ports, but don't know what to do there. Whatever it is, it has to be baby friendly (she'll be almost two).

 

[C8eOg]

We are snorkeling a shipwreck in GC - not exactly baby friendly but my kids (9 & 11) are so excited.

 

[Disneysince1982]

My daughter put our room and her room together on the fe list. I would like to have that changed. Rm 8520 should be seperate from 8512.
8520: Disneysince1982 - Jim, Barbara, Hannah (17) and Alyssa (6)
Alyssa celebrating birthday - will be (7)
8512: sarahndipity stays the same

We are so excited to be part of the fe group. This is our first cruise and so excited that it is on the Disney Fantasy!
Thanks!
Barbara
