Thank you! I was going to ask you where in MASS. Our friends are from South Hadley. Where does your Oais cruise go? We have done a few cruises to the islands and love it!

 

[Cthia]

We live in the central Mass area closer to the Mass, Connecticut and Rhode Island border.

We are going to Labadee Haiti, Jamaica, and Cozumel. We've only been to Cozumel.

I see you are a DVC mmember, we are to. We own at AKL.

We bought in 1998 at BOARDWALK then added while we were on one of the member cruises in 2006. Our other home resort is SARATOGA. We usually stay at OKW its our favourite. We like the Relaxed KEEY WEST theme. We have stayed at AKL a couple of times and really enjoyed it. Everytime we go to WDW we always eat at BOMA. We find the only disadvantage of AKL is the BUS service. It takes longer to get to other parts of WDW. Have you done any of the MEMBER CRUISES? This Sept will be our 6th.

Welcome dvc deernut!
Glad you are here!

We don't mind the bus service. I guess since our first time to WDW as a family was at the Coronado we didn't know any difference on transportation. We always had good luck with the buses, never waited very long for them. We stayed at SSR once and thought it was nice but the room configuration was a bit confusing in a 2 bedroom villa, so many doors.

We haven't done a member cruise. The times haven't worked out for us. Hopefully in the near future I'll be able to. I am glad that they are adding more of them so there is a better chance of sailing on one. Though I have to convince my DH to do a short sailing, he loves the 7 days.


We love Boma. It is a must do when we go to WDW.

i noticed in your history of disney you stayed in okw in 2011. When were u there. Thats our favourite resort. We were there 3 times in 2011. Everytime we come we book in there. We like that relaxed atmosphere. We usually request turtle pond because of the pool. We like the food at olivias.

Hey! Our internet has been down for a few days and I have been meaning to get back to you on this. No, we don't have a name for us yet. Did you have any ideas?? I can only come up with these two:

Fantastic Fantasy Voyage
Disney Fantasy Frolic

If anyone else can come up with something, let's hear it!! I'm OCD about the FE gifts too, so I will be needing to decide soon. I just have too many ideas!

Nice ideas! I'm really anything but creative when it comes to these things, so I'm afraid I won't be able to contribute much.

"An Eastern Fantasy", maybe?
"FantasEastern Caribbean"?

Our family just finished our very first cruise a week ago (Mexican Riviera) and loved it so much we booked this one as our second. It will be DH, Joel (48), Me, Angela (34) and DS, Anthony (5). (all ages at time of sailing)
We're in California so will be flying to Florida and we're hoping to add a trip to WDW after our cruise if we can afford it. DH hasn't been on a plane in over 20 years but he loved the Wonder so much he was willing to fly to ride on the Fantasy. We look forward to a wonderful cruise.

to this thread - I have added you to the roll call on page 1!

 

[minnieandmickey]

Although we haven't officially canceled yet, and probably won't until next year closer to when we have to have final payment, but we have been invited by a friend to come and visit her in the UK next year! So the plan now it to go there for now, unless something happens and we can't go, which is why we are holding onto the ressie for now

 

[Dinotrex]

If I can stop buying LEGO or eating out, or if I win the lottery, I would book another cruise between now and November 30, 2013. I can't wait.

I guess it's perfectly normal that with such a long time to go until the cruise, some people's plans will still change ... Like I mentioned before, we are not entirely sure yet either that we will actually go through with this cruise. Visiting friends in the UK sounds like a great vacation too though!
