Greetings And Salutations...

Wanted to check in,

3 people DD (16) DW (Many-Moons) and Myself (Many-Many-moons) Will be joining your cruise..

We have been on a few of Disney Cruises and it is our favorite Cruise Line.

Love the Disney Fantasy, but our heart will always go to the Magic.

In the past we have always gotten a Veranda,.. But this year we wanted to start experimenting with all the different rooms types that the Fantasy offers. So this year we are getting on of the Large Porthole rooms on the Aft of Deck 8..

How many people are on the list so far?
Thanks

 

[divabydisney]

Ok, I got those added to the FE that wanted added.

Monica you make our 32nd cabin. Do you happen to know your room # yet? Also are you allergic to anything and is alcohol ok for your group?

 

[Monicatheresa28]

No, I don't know my room number yet. I didn't get it until two weeks before sail date last year. Hoping to get it a little earlier this year. We are not allergic to anything, and yes, I do drink. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

Hi Everyone!

Finally booked this cruise. It takes me forever to decide when to go. This is DCL #10 for my husband and I and the kids have been on a few and have loved them. I have a girl is who 9 and boy 6. I will have to read through the thread to see what other kids there are their age. Both of my kids make friends easily so they are super excited to meet new kids. This will be our first time on the Fantasy. We are using DVC points, so splurged a little. VERY excited to finally see the new ship! Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Hi Everyone, just checking in

There's myself and DH, DD (26) DS (22) and DD2 (17). We have done several Disney cruises before including an Eastern Caribbean but the first time on the Fantasy.

Its always nice to say hi on the boards and share everyones excitement and anticipation of the upcoming vacation

Next step to go and set up our countdown banner

 

[INDY1919A4]

Hello snd welcome Pooh's Pals

So am I assuming correctly that you guys will be coming over here across the Pond so to speak for the cruise???

 

[Pooh's Pals]

Yes? Having a few days at Saratoga Springs whilst we do the parks then the cruise to relax

 

[INDY1919A4]

Pooh Pals, Oh fantastic,,, And a good choice doing the parks 1st.. and then the cruise.. The parks can kill you and the cruise will be a really nice way to rest up afterwords..

So if I can be so bold to ask (And I ask this as a total cruise junkie) with all the Fine wonderful cruising options that are offered in Europe what makes you gravitate to doing the cruise over here..?????

Hello fellow cruisers! My family (myself, DH, DS is 12 & DD is celebrating her 11th birthday on board!) are excited to be taking our 3rd Disney cruise in just over 3 months! I thought I'd jump on here to say hello & see if it's too late to join in on the FE group? We didn't participate either of our previous cruises, & my daughter is insisting we do it this time (ok...not just her...I'm pretty excited, too!). I asked to join the FB group as well, so hopefully I'll be a part of the fun this time!

Hi everyone,

I am a veteran cruiser however, this is my first Disney cruise, Fantasy, 10/18/14. I have been doing research and am very curious about a few things...hoping someone can help me. What exactly is fish extender? I have a few ideas but still not quite certain whether I should participate. I am traveling with my family:my mom, 2 sisters and husbands, 2 nieces and 2 nephews...a total of 3 cabins. I am also wondering if anyone can inform me about a possible Halloween experience my cruise?

Thanks for your help and hope to meet you on the ship.

I'm interested in FE however, I'm not quite sure exactly what it is...will you please help me out?
Thanks,
Denise

Hello to all here is some help for the fish extender questions.. These come out of the FAQ link on the main cruise board

Per Halloween, in the past I have seen them have costume judging in the lobby one evening. And Some folks go all out on their Costumes. (The family winner had 6 or so children and they dressed up as Cinderella and the carriage.. I think each child was a mouse or horse depending on time frame,,, It was one heck of a display).. They do have a trick or treat for the kids where they go to various spots on the ship for treats.. Some have complained that Halloween on the ship is a little on the subdued side... But I think Disney tries to walk a fine line in having a big halloween tadoo and keeping the normal flow of the ships activities

Take care all

Amanda welcome, When I 1st read this I thought you meant you will be taking the third Disney cruise in 3 months,,, all I could think is there should be an award for that...

Disney! We did a Med cruise on the Magic last summer and have a Northern Europe booked on the magic next summer but the med cruises can be quite full on and not exactly relaxing but the flights are much cheaper - next summer we are going form Dover so no flights at all but a 2 day cat journey ! So best of both worlds alternating between over here and over there )
