Chunkymonkey, Chubbyhubby, and Chunkysis's
Western Caribbean Cruise on the Disney Fantasy
with Star Wars Day at Sea!!
Feb 20th-27th 2016
L to R: Chunkysis, Minnie, Chunkymonkey (Me), and Chubbyhubby at Port Canaveral
Hi Everyone!! We're back! OK so this trip didn't happen "a long time ago" in fact, it was a little over just 2 weeks ago on Feb 20th that we set foot on the Fantasy, but it seemed a fitting title! We left on an epic trip that included a week on the Disney Fantasy with Star Wars Day at Sea, and then a week at the Polynesian Village resort at WDW. All of this was to celebrate my 40th birthday!! Here's our trip report on our Disney Cruise from Feb 20th to 27th!! It was my and DH's second cruise and my sister's first cruise on DCL! You can read the PTR for this trip here. I will write the WDW portion of this TR on the regular WDW Trip report forum. We had an AWESOME time (both Star Wars and non Star Wars-related), ate way too much, and I met my new love, the Rainforest Room!
If you've followed a long on my Instagram account, you've probably seen photos of us in our full-blown Star Wars costumes already...but if you want to just read along and be surprised, then stay tuned for the full reveal on Day 5 of the cruise! So sit back, relax and have a Castaway Crush (or two) and May the Force be With You!!
Introductions:
Hi! I'm Su-Lynn, aka Chunkymonkey. I turned 40 years old on this trip (last day of the cruise on the 27th). I work as a business analyst in IT. I'm the resident trip planner, cruise director, and trip report writer! I also write a travel blog on the side (mostly to Hawaii, but some Disney and other more exotic locales!). I love to eat and take pictures, so be prepared for a pretty food-heavy and picture-loving trip report!
This is my DH, Chubbyhubby, aka Steve, he's also 40 years old and works in risk management at a bank. He loves sports, movies, and like me, enjoys eating! He indulges me with all the Disney trips although he secretly enjoys them as well. He had a great time on the Magic last year so now he's a fan of DCL. DH and I are big Star Wars fans, so we were really excited when we heard about these SWDAS cruises last year while on the Magic (trip report here) - we booked it using an on-board discount last year and since the cruise was around my 40th birthday, it just made sense to make it a big birthday celebration and combine it with a week at Walt Disney World!
My sister, Chunkysis, aka Su-Queen! Our resident character-maniac! She will go out of her way and do everything possible to meet and take pictures with all the characters. It was her first cruise ever, and she had a great time exploring the ship and meeting all the characters. I think she managed to get each of the characters on the ship in their different outfits! She's 34 and works in a custom printing/invitation shop. She definitely has the creative gene in the family. She has her own Etsy shop for handmade cards here.
Here was the itinerary for our cruise:
Hope you are on board for our galactic journey to a Fantasy far far away!
May the Force be with you!
