Man...even a Disney cruise requires so much planning lol!! I love your outfits and pics of course!!! I know what you mean though - you picked your dining rotation for a reason...I hope you were able to get it changed!
LOL, yes it does require some planning but mostly it is when your window for activities opens (90 days out for us). So you can book Palo and Remy, port excursions and do your online check in when required. It's a little easier than booking ADRs and FP+ but I guess all Disney vacations require a bit of work in order to make it great!
Thanks for sharing your trip - loving the details and pictures!
My sister and I will be going on the Fantasy this November - our first cruise ever!
Thank you!!! I appreciate the comments! You will love the Fantasy, but I am warning you, you will be spoiled and will never want to go on any other cruise line! I certainly don't care for cruising, but when it comes to DCL, sign me up!
I'm in!!
Love that youre photo & food friendly! Can't wait to read all about your adventures!
Thank you!! Yes stay tuned for lots of food and eating!
The Fantasy is beautiful I am excited that we get to use the shorter Castaway Cay Club line next time. I hope they are using magic bands, instead of KTTW, before our in summer 2017. I will definitely get to the port earlier next time. We would have liked more time to hang out on the boat and swim that first day. I don't think I had much choice though, since it was our first DCL cruise. I don't remember getting to pick our rotation. I know I picked early/late seating. Is that new, or just something that CCC members get to choose? I could also have just forgotten.
I hope they make the change to Magic Bands. Carrying the KTTWC wasn't the most convenient as I'd always misplace it. The landyards were convenient (you get one as a silver CC member!) but they weren't always the most stylish accessory...LOL. Although they would then have to supply a card to put into the slot in the room to keep your lights on.
You don't normally pick your rotation. I just felt like I had to make a request since I was trying to figure out our Remy dinner. Pirate night was the only night I didn't need to watch the show as it's usually a variety/magic show and I didn't want to miss any of the other productions. Enchanted Garden was the one MDR that I would be ok missing, so I had to request that Pirate night be Enchanted Garden so that we could go to Remy. You just call up DCL, and anyone can do it. however it is not "guaranteed" and obviously they screwed up my request. LOL
