Howdy everyone,

My name is Kathy and DH is Greg. We will be booking this cruise on our Dream cruise the end of the month so I thought I would stop by and get aquainted.
This will be DCL cruise #24 for us, 2nd on the Fantasy. We were on her about 5 weeks ago. It was so AWESOME we couldnt wait to book it again.

I see a couple of familiar names on your roll call list. It will be fun to see old friends again.

Please add us to the FE list. I will give the room number as soon as we get it.
Holly I sent you a FB request a few minutes ago. Hope it came through ok.
I would love to post both here and on FB to get aquianted with everyone.


I will pop in as often as i can until after our cruise this month and after that I will be here everyday!! You can tell by my post count I am an avid poster!!

I love to chat about cruising and anything Disney.

Have a Happy New Years everyone and stay safe if you're out tonight.

Looking forward to getting aquainted with everyone,

Kathy

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

We just got home from a behind the scenes tour of the Train Roundhouse at MK this morning. It was a great tour.

Now that is behind us I can move on to focusing on this cruise.
Its really exciting to see so many here this far in advance of this cruise.

Have a great day everyone,

Kathy

I bet that was a great tour. What a great way to spend the first day of the New Year!

Good morning all,

Another great day here in Florida.

I wanted to ask if any of you are pin traders?
A few of us on my last crusie liked to trade pins so we had a meet on a sea day and traded pins.


If anyone is interested please let me know and perhaps we can set up a meet on board to trade a few pins. Last time we even had a few kids who were just starting out, and it was their first time trading. That made it a bit special. We all brought them a pin just to have to help get them started, without telling them. That was a great surprize for them.

Anderson family, reporting for fun! it's myself, Peggy, my husband Brian and our son Houston who will be 7 at sailing.

Can't even tell you how excited we are!!! This will be our second cruise, we were on a 4 day dcl cruise in Nov of 2010 and we fell in love!

Looks like there's lots for me to catch up in this thread. What are the most important parts? We are still deciding on whether we will participate in the FE... So fun but a bit of work. Where will I find the Facebook group? I saw mention of it but not sure how to join.

Forgive me for rambling! did I tell you I was excited!!???

Welcome Peggy and family!!!
We booked this week too.

Holly, ThePhantomsgirl will set you up for FB.
She has a post on this page and you can send her a PM.

I am super excited too, we just got off the Fantasy in November and can't wait to go again!!

Kathy

 

[ThePhantomsGirl]

I just sent the FB link to Peggy and family!

This is exciting, we are turning into a nice BIG group!

We are more active on the FB group. I'll get you added to the Roll Call soon (and will try not to make silly mistakes - it seems I'm having a banner day for that....)

 

[LocustPoint]

WOW our group certainly is growing! It's going to be so much fun!

 

[mannpeg729]

I forgot to include that we are in room 6162, with late dining.

I'm wondering if the whole roll call list is participating in the FE? Or is there a separate list? How many are joining in on that? My son and hubs had so much fun w/ that last time but I stressed over it. They delivered the goodies, I did all the assembling, packing, etc.

Thanks for being a living, growing group to participate in the next 11 months of excitement!!! It adds so much to the wait, getting to know some new friends!

Hi, Peggy! I have twin sons that will also be 7-years-old when we cruise. Maybe we can introduce our sons to each other. Did your son enjoy the kids clubs on your other cruise?

Holly,
You and Julia are doing a great job organizing the Roll Call and FE list. It is greatly appreciated!

 

[Scrappy_Tink]

Just to update some of the newbies...here are a few activities we are contemplating...if you have any ideas, please let us know!!

1. Meet & Greet

2. Pink Champagne Girls - getting our pink on with a little bubbly...you don't need to drink to join and have a great time...oh, to not discriminate, men are more than welcome to join, as long as they have their pink on. There will also be a photo-op, small part of the greet (beginning or after) for the little Pinkettes, Ladies-in-Waiting.

3. As we most know, the worse part of the Aqua Duck is the dismount...there is talk of a "The most graceful dismount" contest.

4. The men are planning a Brotherhood get-together where a scared Stein is required. Just don't scare it too bad, because they are fragile!

5. The possibility of a scavenger hunt....may get a little naughty...

6. Secret Mickey (kind of like a Secret Santa)

7. Of course, can't forget the Fish Exchange!!

We are going to be a busy bunch, and plan on having a lot of fun!! Don't feel like you need or have to participate in any or all activities...I'm sure there are some that are going to just relax and not want to worry about meetings and such...however, if nothing else, I'm sure I'm speaking for everyone....we hope at a minimum you will make the meet and greet, so we can all put a face to the name!!
