may 12, 2012 7 Night Western on the Fantasy

[gigi1313]

Thanks for signing us up for the fe list!! We are so excited. We are:
Cabin 7600 - Have a magical day! DH Ed, April (Me), DS Carson (14), DD Faith (12), DS Johnnie (3), yes to fe.

We were wondering if they ever break the groups according to similar ages for children? I noticed two of my kiddos are in great luck and there are other 3/4 year olds and even a couple of 12 year old girls! Woohoo!! It might be fun for the girls to get to exchange. Thought that might be true of the other ages as well. Just an idea. And I think a mix is certainly good too! We have a great group! It will be fun to help spread "magical days" with so many!! Yeah! Right around the corner!!

Thanks for taking your time to help organize all of this!! It will be fun!

We definitely have to get our boys together... I have dd17, ds15 and ds4... Close in age to your ds's
And you have a magical day!!

Ok, so I will try this again... Agghh! Still on the forum posting learning curve... Sorry! I just replied to Gigi1313 with all my fe info. Can you get it there? Thanks for the help!!!! Definitely still earning my ears... Haha

I got you covered! I will also do my best to put you with the other teens on board when we split next week

Are we going to meet on the cruise?? I mean, do we have a date and place where we can meet? In the 2 other cruise I've gone, we met on the Promenade Lounge. We are a large group and will be awesome to meet everyone!!

Hi! I don't think my DD's age was listed in the FE list on page 8 (Cabin 7602). She is 16 and if possible would probably like to be grouped with other teens, too. Thanks for stepping up to help! I hope your lil pirate has a blast on the cruise. The first time we went to Disney, my DD was 5. Priceless memories!

I added her age to the FE list on page 29. I am happy to help sasmmb out! I am very excited for my son this trip. It will definitely be so magical for him (and myself). When ever we are out and about he always pretends he is on the hunt for captain hook, I wonder what he is going to do when he finally "finds" him !

Morning! It's 7:30 on a Saturday and I've been up for an hour. So, naturally I am DIS'ing!

It's been a crazy few weeks around here, so I haven't been on much. I got a promotion at work - which sounds like it should be awesome. BUT, my department moved buildings, we hade a MAJOR system crash over a week ago that we are still recovering from, and things have not been so magical at home with my DH the past few weeks. We could really use this vacation.

We are arriving on Friday and stay at the BCV. To kick off the anniversary trip, we are having dinner at Le Cellar in EPCOT.

Congratulations on your anniversary! When is it, and how long? We are celebrating our anniversary, but a bit late - it's May 3rd! And also, we'll arrive at WDW on my birthday May 11th!!

Any one interested in a little open discussion? How about playing around with your answers to the following...could be inspiring for the rest of us...

1) What one thing are you most interested in "discovering" on the Fantasy?

I'm excited for Satellite Falls, I think it looks really cool and hope that it's going to be a nice relaxing spot to hang out with my cocktails and people watch

2) Who are you most excited to see/meet and why?

We are traveling with our friends who live across state. I am so excited to meet up with them. We actually met them on our Disney cruise last May! We were seated with one another at dinner and we had so much in common that we have stayed friends and each traveled to each others homes and vacationed to WDW in the fall! I'm super excited to meet up with them and catch up on the new ship.

3) What is/are your kids most over-the-moon excited about?

No kids. Just us.

4) What non-kid activity are you most looking forward to?

Reconnecting with my DH. We have both been so stressed at work and haven't been very nice to one another. I need a week away from the real world to relax, spend time with one another and enjoy each other. Hopefully when we come back, then we will be able to tackle life together a bit better than we have been.

5) What flavor/taste are you most looking forward to on the Fantasy?

.... Hmmm....

Tough choice. We are doing Palo, I wished we could have gotten a brunch because we loved it last time - so I am excited to try dinner there to compare! And I am excited that they have a lot of lamb choices in the restaurants. I recently discovered that I like lamb, so it's a nice treat to be able to get it.

Hello! We are so excited about the upcoming cruise! My little guy keeps saying, "I'm so excited about Mickey boat! Are you so excited??". In fact we even heard him call out, " Mickey boat!!!" in his sleep two nights ago. We're excited!! .

OMG. This is just about the cutest thing I have ever heard!!! How adorable!!

Only 50 days until our cruise sets sail!

I'm a bit late in the excitment, but now IT'S 49 DAYS!!!

DITTO!

Now I want to change my answer... I am most looking forward to meeting Boomerangs DH and buying them a drink to thank them for his service and her willingness to share him with our country!

Our anniversary is May 15th and it will be 20 years. Where are you for your Birthday? Anything special planned for the 11th?

I can't wait to meet your son, sounds like a fun little guy!

Since you're updating the FE list, you may want to add that AppleGuy's kids in 7174 are all in their 20's. I asked him since I didn't want to get them coloring books if they were older....turns out it was a good thing I asked!

Here's a tip for you first-time Disney cruisers: At lunchtime on Castaway Cay, go to Serenity Bay - They have all-you-can-eat rib-eye steaks!

What...20 year olds don't like coloring books I will be sure to note it, thanks!

Thanks for that! We sailed on the Wonder a couple of years ago but missed CC due to bad weather. I know you just recently joined us, have you planned your shore excursions? We're doing Nachi Cocum in Cozumel and Stingray City with Moby Dick Tours in Grand Cayman. I did both of these last May and loved them. The guys at Moby Dick are great to work with and the beach at Nachi is limited to 100 people per day so it doesn't get crowded. The food there (all inclusive) is fantastic! We're doing the ruins through DCL in Costa Maya and haven't figured out CC yet. I would have loved a cabana but 1-they were all booked and 2-I wasn't about to drop another $500 to get one!

I really can't wait.....are we there yet?

 

[steelek_29]

Can't wait!!!!

FORTY EIGHT DAYS!!!!!

I am so excited for the reviews and pics to start rolling in! One more week until the MV. We should be able to get a peak at navigators and what not. I can't wait. Booked our room at Disney before hand today, will pay our transfers and gratuities next week. So nice having all the necessities covered before the cruise Now for stocking away spending money and finishing up my FE gifts!!!

Super small world, my son Zachary's birthday is May 11th also! He turns big boy 5.

 

[rusafee1183]

I am starting to get really anxious! I want to start packing already.

What is everyone doing to pass the time? I watched the Lion King yesterday on ABC Family, and have been listening to D-TUNES app while I clean. Other than that, I honestly have no idea what to do with myself for the next month or so. I think I can start packing 2 weeks before, but until then I am just waiting around...

Our anniversary is May 15th and it will be 20 years. Where are you for your Birthday? Anything special planned for the 11th?

Well, we land in the afternoon and are staying at the Hyatt, but we are renting a car to go to WDW for the day. I want to hit up MK to ride Splash (my favorite!! ) and then end in Epcot for Illuminations (also, my favorite!!) . And I also made ADR's for Via Napoli that night. I hear it's amazing!!

Thanks for the reminder! I heard this before and then we were overwhelmed by everything last time that we forgot! I will definitely get one this time around!

FORTY EIGHT DAYS!!!!!

FORTY SEVEN NOW!!!!

Super small world, my son Zachary's birthday is May 11th also! He turns big boy 5.

Do you have anything planned that night???

 

[lonsorama]

I'm so glad I made the cutoff for participating in the fish extenders! We changed our reservation from Sept to May as we found out we will be expecting a new mouseketeer. So now it's a babymoon over mother's day! We will have 5 in our cabin- last trip all in one. We were on the Dream for a 4 night in Oct. and can't wait for more time to enjoy the ship.

We had a DIS Meet in London yesterday and one of the guys there is going on the MV.

I have given him strict instructions to post those navigators as soon as he is home
