October 15, 2016 on the Disney Fantasy!!

[Andie272]

My best tip Andie is to book early...the prices increase as you get closer to the sail date.

Thank you, going to book once my DH gets his commission check in August. Thanks Tpeq, she is going to be so excited, she has wanted to do a Disney cruise for a long time, she is made because my DH and I are going on a cruise this October with out her, she will find out about the DC just before we leave.

Hello! Happy to be here! Just booked this cruise for our family of 4. My husband (Tim) and I (Kristy) will be sailing with my daughter Riley who will be 15 and my son Tyler who will be 12. It will be our 4th Disney cruise, but first time not sailing on the Magic. Also new, we're trying our luck with getting a 5E room, but all they had were GTY rooms in 5E. Best case scenario we get one of the aft rooms. "Worst" case, we get the same type of verandah rooms we've always had. Either way - we're happy!

We just booked our first cruise!

This is a complete surprise! We're going to 'surprise' the kids with a trip to see my husband's cousin in FL and then the next day take a trip to 'the beach' to board! They are going to flip! Only have to keep it a secret for 14 more months!

Good luck keeping that secret! I am freaking keeping it until October if this year to surprise my daughter.

Is anyone going a photographer? I'm a hobby photographer and would love to swap family pics at sea.

Andie272, glad to hear that you were finally able to book!!!

 

[Andie272]

Thanks! Was just waiting on my DH quarterly commission check...it feels like it took for ever this quarter

 

[heidia]

We just booked! YAYYY! This is out first cruise ever! I'm happy to already see people with kids around my daughter's age (she will be 13.5 by then). Hopefully she will find some friends to hang out with since its just me, her and my mama.

We (Marcia and Aaron) will be on this cruise as part of our honeymoon. We will be getting married either Oct 13 (1st choice) or Oct 11 at Disneyworld. Originally we were going to do the 4 night on Oct 17, but just switched this past week to the 7 night on Oct 15. This will be our first Disney cruise. I have cruised once before, and Aaron never has. We are so excited! Hope we made a good choice on the room, we booked 7582 which is a 5C.

So overwhelmed with possible excursions. Aaron wants to do a swim with the dolphins for sure, but I'm worried about availability since we are first time cruisers, we get no priority booking. Not sure which port has the best and/or easiest to get dolphin swim. Any advice?

Thanks all, look forward to planning together!

Hi All! We just booked our 1st Disney Cruise!!!! Yeah! I am so excited that I could burst!
We are going to have my parents Vince and Andrea and husband (Joe) in cabin 6570. I (Heather) will be with our daughter (Jocelyn - 11 at time of sailing), my Sister (Chrissy), and my niece (Brianna -9 at the time of sailing) in cabin 6572. Our girls have no idea that we are going yet, but will be estatic when they find out. Is this the thread where we join the fish extenders? We are still debating and not totally sure if we want to participate or not.

 

[wdwmama19]

Hi everyone! I am also joining this thread because I will be cruising this cruise with all of you. Joining me will be my dad, sister, and my daughter who will be 5. I will be turning 28 on this cruise so I am really excited! Plus, it will be our first time on the Fantasy. I look forward to passing time with all of you.

 

[Melissa and Todd Crawford]

Hello Everybody. We just decided to day to do this cruise again. We did the Easter 2014 and had a blast. We will also be doing the Eastern again on the 8th. Mom, Dad, and two boys that will be 11 and 14. We are from the US but have been living in Germany for the past five years.

 

[ltphoto97]

We just booked today too! We will be in staterooms # 6036 and 6038. This is our first Disney cruise so I'm trying to learn all the lingo! We wanted to participate in the Fish Extender thing that goes on. I'm not sure how it works but we would love to participate. We have a 3 year old named Claire and my husband is Keith and I am Laura.

 

[Andie272]

We told my DD this weekend, she is so excited! Can we be added to the roll call please, we are in room 6054.

Emily wants to swim with the dolphins, any recommend which port we should do that in? We are going to do WDW for a few days before the cruise, anybody else? If anybody's children would like to connect with Emily before the cruise to get to know each other let me know. She just turned 12, will be 13 when we sail.

Hey Everyone, we just booked this cruise about 4 weeks ago, so excited to see there is already a thread on here......This will be our 4th disney cruise and I cannot wait, we just got home yesterday from a 10 day stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge and all I can say is I am ready for another cruise....It will be me, my DH Jay and my 13 yo DS Carson....our stateroom number is 9568.....{edited by a moderator}

 

[Melissa and Todd Crawford]

My best tip Andie is to book early...the prices increase as you get closer to the sail date.

Good advice. We booked our two cruises when we did because the price jumped $700.00 in two days. Didn't want to see it go higher.

 

[JenicaBoBenica]

Hi, my family just booked our cruise. So excited but can't wait! I've been on a Disney Cruise before but my family hasn't. I'll have me, the hubs, and my two daughters (4 & 7).
