Hello everyone! My name is Amanda (23) and I live in Gettysburg, PA with my husband, Ken (25). This will be my 5th Disney cruise, but my husbands first. The other 4 were taken when I was a teenager living with family. Me and my husband have been to Disney World 4 times together (5th trip will happen right before the cruise) and I told him its high time he took me on the cruise! hahaha
We will be celebrating our 5th anniversary on the cruise (Sept. 22) so I'm really looking forward to that!! We have the late dining and have booked room 6076 with the veranda. I've never had a veranda so I'm also looking forward to that! Should be fun!!! I'm really looking forward to meeting all of you!

Hello from another PA Disser!

We live in south/central PA, so we are really pretty close to you. Do you fly out of Middletown by any chance?

Welcome to the group. Looking forward to meeting you. I'm sure it will be a wonderful cruise, and a perfect way to celebrate your anniversary.

Bless your heart. I was hoping someone would do that. We'll be signing on for that when the time comes.

We finally hit the 1 year mark!!!

Well, we probably would be if we knew we would be staying in the area. Funny thing is, we know we are moving in June of next year, but have no idea where to. It may be close, we could move to Florida (fingers crossed!)
Thank you for the welcome and I'm sure we will all love the cruise!!!

Welcome to all the newbies.

Janet and I took a road trip Friday to Marceline MO. This is the town that Walt lived in from ages 4 to 9 years old. They have a Museum in town about the Disney family. The home that they owned is still standing. and we were abl;e to see the tree that Walt called his dreaming tree. It is sad that his tree is all but dead but a family member recently planted a new tree close by that is a seedling of Walts tree. The dreaming tree is what was used to create the Tree of Life.

Main street Marceline is what was used to Model Main Street in the Magic Kingdom. It was so awesome to stand on the street that Walt had walked as a child.

The woman that gave us the tour at the Hometown Museum was 82 years old. What was really neat is when she was just 27 years old and a young mother they were the only family that had Air conditioning in town. Walt and Roy were invited to come visit to dedicate the new community swimmimg pool and the town had no motel that had air so they asked her if she would put them up for they stay. How neat would that be to have Roy and Walt Disney with their wives spend the week-end in your home.

We may just need to go back next year.

My best friend is a huge fan of Walt, and also visited Marceline - he loved it. Glad you had a nice visit as well, and I love the story about the tour guide hosting Walt and Roy and their families!

We just arrived home yesterday from WDW and had a great time...how was your trip? We were also at the Friday MNSSHP and I was shocked at how many people were standing in line for CANDY rather than rides! Really? We were able to ride everything we wanted (except for Splash due to that stupid lightning that wouldn't go away). We loved the parade and while we didn't wait in lines, we did get our fair amount of candy to bring home.

I was happy that the love bugs weren't as abundant as I had heard. I was only annoyed by them at the Studios on Friday (and I was wearing a light colored shirt) and the pool at AKL on Saturday morning. Other than that, it was a love bug-free zone!

We LOVED AKL (our first stay). We had a savannah view room (the sunset savannah) and when we woke up the first morning to giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and cranes right outside our window, we were hooked. It was definitely worth the price (with my 40% PIN code!).

Now it's back to reality....laundry is already going and the kids have to get off to school. Thankfully, I took today off from work as well, and there is now LESS than one year til the cruise!

Well back to reality for us. We had an awesome cruise on RC's Allure of the Seas. Can not wait to do it again!!! Jen will be doing a TR soon.

But first things first... We are less than a year away from our Disney Fantasy cruise!!!

So if you guys are interested maybe we could come up with a name for our group. What do you think???

I don't really have anything special in mind, but... I do like that graphic that Jen made for us on post one that says- "From Fantasyland to The Fantasy". I think that sounds pretty cool. Any other suggestions???

Wow! I just took a look at the webcam to see the construction progress of the Fantasy and could not believe how far she's come along since my last look. I updated the photo on post one. But here it is if you haven't had a look for a while.

We are planning to go to WDW either before the cruise or after the cruise. Which way is better as we fly from west coast? Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks.

I can't make a suggestion based on coming from the west coast, but my preference is WDW before the cruise.

While I love going to WDW, it is not a relaxing vacation. I am always exhausted when we get home from the parks. However, coming home from the cruise (while still very sad to come back to reality) doesn't leave me so exhausted.

I would hit the parks, run around and do all the rides, then board the Fantasy and relax while being pampered with the great Disney service!
