Hello and welcome.

Having only been on 3 night cruises I don't know the answer to your question but I bet someone in this thread does.

i am 98% certain there will be....we just finished a 5-night in Sept & it had a character breakfast....

Welcome to the group....hope to meet you & your family in our "Dis meet" onboard the ship Jan 2nd, and do let me know if you would lie to participate in the "fish extender gift exchange"

We were just on a 5 night double-dip and there was no character breakfast. However, I was told on our last 7day that if you cruise has 3 sea days (or at least 3 sea mornings) there will be a character breakfast, because you need that many oppotunities to match the dining rotations.

Thank you for the warm welcome and useful info! I have just started looking at the boards and researching all I can about the cruise. After booking it last March I promised myself I wouldn't think about until I was able to check-in on-line but now I regret that decision and I have learned so much and am feeling quite overwhelmed by it all.

Just crossing my fingers that there is a character breakfast since my youngest is barely 3 years old and not very good at waiting.

Thank you for that useful tidbit! I hope that is the case since it seems we will have 3 sea days for this cruise.

Thanks so much for the welcome!

We cruised to MR in '08 on the Magic and were hooked. Since then have done a mother/daughter cruise in '08 to EC and will be aboard the Fantasy in June '12 to celebrate DD's & DD's boyfriend's college graduation and DS's 16th birthday. Platninum will be fabulous...I'm just tryin to get to Gold!

We're going to pass on FE's this trip (although I'm sooooo tempted 'cause it's so much fun!) I think trying to keep this a surprise AND prepare for FE's would be too much to hide in my house and after the secret's out, I'll just about have time to pack It sure will be exciting getting ready in that short amount of time...who am I kidding, it'll be CRAZY , but a good crazy..

We'd love to try and make a DIS meet tho, if one is planned.

Another piece to my sneaky plan has fallen into place...mwahahah!

I received the personalized ornaments I ordered from Disney as a way of "giving" my DD and DS their Christmas present. Each has their name on them and then the saying "sails the Wonder 2012". My hope is that they will look at me like I've lost my mind (which is normal ) and totally confused saying "didn't you mean the Fantasy? ('cause we sail the Fantasy in June) and then we'll spill the beans and watch my DD freak out that she only has 1 week to pack! ANYWAY, I digress...back to the ornaments...I was pleasantly surprised at the quality, the size of the writing, etc. I wasn't sure how big the writing would be considering they allowed for 2 lines of text, but they're great! If anyone is looking for personalized ornaments to order, consider these and take a look at disneystore.com, holiday, and personalized porcelain ornament (I got tink for DD and Mickey for DS).

This keeping a secret stuff is hard work!
