October 20, 2012, Disney Fantasy, Eastern Caribbean-Who's with us?

[Bear3412]

this will be my 30th Disney cruise. I don't think it counts if you sleep below deck though, does it??

It should. You put in your time. Below decks should qualify for double miles at least. Your triple Platinum in my eyes.

Welcome Aboard

Boy, you ain't foolin! To be fair, a DCL entertainment contract is any actor's dream, I had the time of my life. But I have been aching to cruise Disney ever since. I'm really excited about the new adult only pool areas, I hope we won't be packed in like sardines there. Deck 5 forward was where the crew always used to have THEIR parties, I've noticed that's a guest area now. Great for the teens, but what a bummer for the crew!

It will be hard for you not to jump on the stage. I am always amazed at the talent on ship.

Good Morning All

Nice crisp morning here in Maine.
Nancy and I are getting ready to go do the shopping for the week. She tells me I put thing in the cart I shouldn't eat. She is right. Lately I have been good. I don't need extra weight at my age. We are trying to get rid of it. Don't need it . Would love to lose 20 lbs..
If this weather keeps up all our snow will be gone by April 1st or before. I think we have only had a total of 2 feet total all winter. All we have now is about 5 inches. Im ready for WARM weather.
Everybody have a great day.

36 weeks from right now I will be sitting here staring at the clock willing it to get to 5:00 pm faster so I can go home and get ready to leave for Orlando and our cruise.

36 weeks sounds so much better than 254 days

Hey! It's Von - Eva's BF. I'm super excited about this cruise. This will be my first cruise ever, my first REAL vacation in about 5 years, the farthest East I've ever been, and my first international trip! I'm curious what everyone is really excited for (be specific please)??? I'm excited to sit on the balcony with a fruity girly drink in my hand next to my favorite gal! That and seeing tropical beaches . . . ahhhhhh!

 

[JOANNEL]

Oh no....... here come the bathing suit pictures!!!! can wait for this!!!

I know but it reminds me of having fun in the sun at Castaway with our cruising pals and Konk koolers. That picture was about 4 yrs ago.:cool

I made reservations for April. Tommy is going to a McDonalds convention. I am going along just to make sure he behaves. We will be there 4/20 through the next week If you feel like a road trip. I am going back in May with DGD and her parents because they said they are a package deal. DS just wants to go. I think he is feeling left out because he has falling down a notch since Aidan came along.

I am going down in April for John's convention as well but we are there the first week. Why they put a convention back to back with Spring Breaks I don't get but its a free week in Orlando so who am I to complain?

We know it is getting closer when Dan brings out the bathing suit pictures!!!!

Thank goodness you don't have any of me

Have a great Friday everyone!

Nancy and I are taking a road trip in April. Plan now is were going as far as PA. want visit Gettisburg, Hershey , and the Armish Country. I would love to keep going and end up in WDW, but I don't think that will happen.

That is so funny. I miss you guys!!!

 

[Renysmom]

I went ahead and created a private facebook group since so many thought it was a good idea. No one will be able to see the page unless you join request to join it.

Please send me a PM here with a link to your FB page if you wish to join. I believe I will have to friend you first to add you so if you see a friend request from Kelly in VA that would be me.

I can't get on FB but for a few short moments during the workday so if I don;t get to you during the day I will in the evenings.

Oh for goodness sake, it won't let me send a private message or post a link yet. Well, while I wait to improve my low-post status, I will answer my lovely boyfriend's question, since no one else has yet! I am most excited for fireworks at sea, trying out the Aquaduck, working on my tan, and lots of hiking and swimming and running around!!
PS to Von... You better start you're own account if you want to post, you'll confuse people!!

I am looking forward to spending time with our Disney friends and Conk Coolers

 

[EvaSue]

Ooohh, what's a conk cooler? Anyone know if there is any way of telling how many are booked on a cruise, or how full the ship is? We've been sort of operating off of assumptions from how many stateroom categories are no longer available for selection.

A Konk Kooler is the signature drink of Castaway Cay


Konk Cooler Recipe (From Allears.net)
3 oz. Light Rum (Suggestion - Malibu or Parrot Bay)
3 oz. Dark Rum (Suggestion - Cruzan Black Strap)
4 oz. Orange Juice
8 oz. Cream of Coconut (Suggestion - Coco Casa)
6 oz. Passion Fruit Juice Concentrate (Suggestion - Welches)
3 oz. Ice

Mix in blender until slushy.

So, so good! About 2:00 pm on CC day they will be Buy One Get One Free. I love 2:00 on CC Day LOL

 

[EvaSue]

Now THAT is some useful information!! haha... Holy smokes, that looks gorgeous.

 

[oybolshoi]

Konk Koolers are awesome ... I usually have my first one about 9:30AM when we hit Serenity Bay.

Mochaccinos from Cove Cafe are also among our favorites (coffee / ice cream drinks).

We look forward to the extra day at sea with the Eastern itinerary and we are very much looking forward to visiting St. Maartan again ... it's a beautiful island.
