For some reason it hit me and now I am really excited! Let's start talking

 

[Alebd]

We booked this departure a couple of weeks ago, and are beyond excited!
We're Anne and Michael from New Orleans. This will be out 20th cruise, first on Disney. Joining us will be our DS and DIL with 3-yr old son, and DD and SIL with 4yr old son and 3 yr old daughter. Looking forward to learning the ins and outs from experienced Disney cruisers, and also any tips on traveling with youngsters in St. Martin, St. Thomas, and Castaway Cay!

How is everyone? Isn't anyone getting excited?! Let's plan some stuff! We could do a group tasting or other things.

Hi Ya'll!

We were originally going to Europe for two weeks this summer and doing a small 4 day cruise on Disney, but the airfares are still ridiculous so we have scratched that idea and just booked this 7 day Fantasy cruise.

This will be our second cruise, our first on Fantasy! We are going with family friends from California, and we decided to pull the kids out of school for the week to do this! We are so excited. Have not told the kids, trying to keep it quiet or our son will drive us crazy for the next 7 months

We went through same too - had a cruise in Med and land trip planned and airfare for each of us was as high was the cruise price for all of us!

Group tasting would be so much fun! Our last cruise a bunch of us did the mixology tasting. YUM and So Funny!!

Is anyone interested in a FB group JUST for this sailing?? The FB group linked is an old one and people from lots of different Fantasy sailings are on it. I'm on there much more than here!

Still waiting to find out if we can even stick with this one! We are definitely PCSing but we haven't gotten our orders yet so we don't know when. AND hubby has to go to an 8 week class for his new job. It's either May/June or Sept/Oct. *sigh* But for now...I'm planning for this one!

Try this one! I just created it...not sure it's *right* but it's something to start with! I made it closed...people can see it but you have to ask to join...that's how my last one was. I can make it totally open if that's what the group wants!

 

[vmedisneymom]

I sent a request thank you for doing that!

Hi! We just had to switch cruises today! This is a surprise for my husband Richard. He'll find out on July 1st, his 50th birthday, that I've already arranged it with his boss and that it's paid in full.

Hello! just booked this cruise. It will be me, DH, and DD (10 months at sailing) this will be our 10th disney cruise This will be our first cruise with baby, and welcome any tips. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Our family has just switched our dummy date (booked on my last cruise about 2 weeks ago) to this cruise!!! It will be my son and myself's 12th Disney cruise, and my hubby's 6th (I think) and my daughters 4th. Can you tell we are addicted to the cruise line? It will be our FIRST time on the Disney Fantasy though. This will finally allow me to have been on all of the Disney ships thus far Cruising would be Myself (Shauna), My hubby (Mike) and our kids (Christopher who will just have turned 9 on the 4th of Sept) and our Daughter (Mackenzie *AKA Bug* who is 2) Even after 11 cruises, I still am so excited and cant wait till we cruise!!

 

[vmedisneymom]

Hi to all the new folks! Glad to have you here! I am so excited to sail the fantasy. If you read further up in the thread there is a fish extender going, and we also have a facebook page - y'all may already be on it though.

 

[tazgirl1981]

Thank you for reminding me about the Facebook page...just went and sent a request to join. Thank you

Hi! I'd like to join in! This will be my husband's and my 3rd Disney cruise, but first on the Fantasy, and first with our baby! Our son will be 16 months during the cruise. My inlaws will also be joining us.

Those with babies on the cruise - what are you planning for the port days? I'd really like to get to a beach at St. John, but am having trouble planning that with the little one.

 

[cwilliams2145]

Hello Everyone! Me and my family will be joining all of you as well aboard the fantasy! This will be our second cruise as well as our second aboard DCL. Our first we were celebrating our son's 3rd bday that happened to be on pirate night which he loved This year we will be celebrating The Big 5 on 9/11

So I just pulled the trigger on this date yesterday morning! I was originally going to book Alaska for Sept. but the price has just gotten me way too sticker shocked, I just can't do it! Anyhow, now I get to join you lovely people for mine and my hubby's second Disney cruise. I am from California and it will just be my husband and myself making it to Florida on the 2nd and hopefully staying at The Contemporary or the Wilderness Lodge.
I really hate to use Disney transport from WDW as it sometimes does not arrive to port until nearly 1 and sometimes 2pm... I am looking into either renting a car or arranging with another party to split a private shuttled vehile/towncar. If anyone is interested please let me know. I know we are all strangers now, but hopefully within the next 5 months we will find out a bit more about each other
My last cruise had a pretty quiet feed both on here and on FB... hope we all muster up more excitement and get a bit more rowdy on this feed

Can't wait to start planning and hearing what you all have planned on board with your Family!



ps... I sent a request to the fantastic fantasy on fb, waiting to get accepted.
