Oct 13, 2012 Fantasy who's going

[oienfam5]

We are getting excited even though we are still over 250 days away. Started getting items for fish extenders already. We will definitely be sending a box down to our room as I am sure we will not have room to pack all of it in our bags.

Anyone who has been on the western caribbean before, could you let us know what excursions you took and if you would do them again.

I have been reading about how the crew members that greet you at the dining room give you hand sanitizer and can be very pushy about it. Some people were not allowed in unless they accepted the hand sanitizer even though they had just washed their hands. This was not necessarily on a Disney cruise but I was wondering if anyone had any Disney cruise experience with this. My family will not be using their hand sanitizer, we will be washing our hands. I just hope this won't become an issue. I may bring my own natural version to be on the safe side, something that I can spray right in front of them if need be.

The times I went they handed a hand wipe out, not the liquid stuff. I don't like the liquid stuff either. I don't mind a hand wipe.

Yes they hand you a hand wipe...I think they have the liquid stuff to. I like to wash my hands before I eat but they will still hand you a wipe. With that said I havent seen them chase anyone down and or tackle them but id bring your own if that is a concern.....Because you have to use the wipes everywhere (kids clubs/any food area)

Hey do we have a kids thread? My 8 year old is hanging over me asking He'd love to start getting to know some of the kids before we go. He'll be 9 on the cruise.

I don't expect the CM on the Disney ships to be very aggressive towards the passengers but I should probably bring my own just to be safe. I am surprised to hear that they use it in the kid's club area because the video shows some really fancy sinks in the kid's club. I was freaking out a bit about it but I feel better now. Thanks everyone

We don't have a kids thread you should start one. The last cruise I took there was one and it was really fun for the kids. They made polls and decided stuff on their own for the cruise.
