Looking Forward To The Disney Fantasy

Through these doors and on to the ship!

The main reason for our summer 2014 Disney vacation is sailing on the Disney Fantasy.  We booked this cruise, almost 19 months prior to sailing, while we were on board the Disney Dream.  Even with five Disney cruises under our belts, the 7-night itineraries of the Disney Fantasy had alluded us. . . until now!

Here's what we are looking forward to on the Disney Fantasy. . .

Splashing in the AquaLab.  The Disney Fantasy has a couple of additional water features as compared to the Disney Dream with the AquaLab being one of them.  This interactive splash zone on Deck 12 will definitely get some of our attention.

Riding the AquaDuck.  The only water coaster at sea will be one of our first stops once we set foot on the ship!

Dining in the Royal Court.  Each Disney ship has a signature restaurant located on the main level of the Lobby Atrium.  We have dined in each of those restaurants on board the other three Disney ships and are looking forward to the same on the Disney Fantasy--the Royal Court.  I bet the husband and boy share some escargot!

Playing miniature golf.  Yes, miniature golf at sea.

Easy access to ice cream.  Okay, this is something the boy is looking forward to--free ice cream almost 24 hours a day and varying flavors--even on Castaway Cay.

All of us are looking forward to our day in port at Disney Cruise Line's private island, Castaway Cay!  This island is a slice of paradise and we want to experience every breathtaking moment.

Jamaica!  While we have been to the other ports on this itinerary before, we have never been to Jamaica.  No worries, man.

Exploring the ship, including Midship Dective Agency, the various decks, adult areas, and kids areas.  The boy will be old enough for the "tween" hangout--Edge.

Seeing the shows!  Disney's Believe will be a repeat from sailing on the Dream, but the Fantasy has Disney's Wishes, Disney's Aladdin--A Musical Spectacular, and both a Welcome and Farewell show.  This is Broadway caliber entertainment provided on the ship.  Each night, as a guest, you are treated to a different show.

Meeting Disney friends.  The ship is full of characters. . . Disney characters that is and we want to meet and greet as many of them as we can.

Excellent service.  Part of what keeps us coming back is the world class service found when sailing on any ship in Disney Cruise Line's fleet.

What I am not looking forward to is trying to decide on our next cruise. . . that and disembarking from the ship.  That is a hard day.  Good thing we will be headed to Walt Disney World when we leave the ship; that will make me feel better.
