Wow welcome everyone! It is great that so many people have booked since I last check this thread. We are very interested in participating in FE. We have 2 cabins that will participate, since it will be our family and my in-laws.

 

[bellaphia]

we will have two cabins too! this will be our first DIsney cruise so can someone explain how I make sure I get included in a Fish Extender??

Hi everyone. Just jumped on board with this sailing with Me, DH, DS 12 & 9. This will be our 5th DCL cruise. We had a 4 night Dream cruise booked for May 2013 and after thinking about it, we have always wanted to do a 7 night and this seemed like it just fell on our laps. We got a 5E Deluxe Veranda with OBC of $200 and OB 10% discount making it only $3600. I could not resist!!! I am super excited and the planning has begun. We just return from 9 days in WDW and decided while we were there we are CRUISERS!!! We wished we were on a ship everyday. Any 7 night tips are happily welcomed. We have only done 4 nights. Formal Nights? Special Experiences? Excursions?

I agree. We only did the 3ngt on the Dream, so I was wondering if someone could give some tips for the 7ngt. Thanks for asking! Anyone?

Enjoy not having to cram everything into 4 days or less. No seriously you'll love a 7 night cruise and 14 is even better.

[Dyerneeds]

hey! nice to see some activilty on this thread!

just think..a mere 17 months from now we'll be flying home after the cruise.

 

[Dyerneeds]

Hmmm. Lets see..

1) as with every trip we take, the best part for me is just spending time with my Sweet Polly..(thats you Robin) (that should get me a few smoochers eh?) Cant wait till she retires too!

2) very excited to see friends old and new!!

3) I am excited to see the new ship although i doubt it will replace the Magic for us! lots of great times and friends made on that ship! But i KNOW Robin will be taking thousands of pics on the Fantasy!

4) Strawberry Smoothies....i know you can get them everywhere these days, but theres something about catching some rays while sipping a strawberry smoothie on a Disney cruise!

5) LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the 5 am return of the the Disney ship in Port Canaveral. we've made this event a tradition for our cruises..something about watching the ship return that morning that gets the trip started off with a bang!!

My DH (Burt) and I will be joining you all for this cruise. This will be our 11th DCL cruise, unless I can talk DH into one before the PC cruise next May (#10)! It will be our first time on the Fantasy. Just the two of us, unless I can convince the kids (28+DH, 23, 17) to come along.

Let's see, my Top 5 would be:
Experiencing the Fantasy for the first time
Verandah time with coffee and a good book
Drinks of the Day
No cell phone for my DH!
SEA DAYS!!

Looking forward to meeting you all!

1. Cruising with old and new friends. Can't wait.
2. Just being on the Fantasy. Seeing it for the first time. Exploring.
3. Activitites and Shows. Tastings Wine, Beer, Margarita or whatever.
4. Just seeing all my Disney friends. Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy.
All the princesses.
5. Smoothies and all the yummy desserts at the counters. Ice cream whenever I want. Hot dogs and Hamburgers. Yum I am getting hungry.

As you can see I love Disney Cruises.

5) Gnocchi. (I hope)

Hmmm, I don't see it on the menus but I am sure they will make you some! Hopefully it's good! Maybe you should get your TA to send in an allergy food request....allergic to everything but gnocchi
