    WE ARE GOING ON THE FANTASY IN MAY. WE HAVE 5 AND 11 YEAR OLD CHILDREN. WHAT IS THE BEST PREPLANNING ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE US.

    Hi David!

    The best advice I can give you is to run (don't walk) and buy a copy of the book "PassPorter's Disney Cruise Line and It's Ports of Call".  It is a wonderful book full of information about planning a Disney Cruise Line vacation.  While you can find a few pages of information on Disney Cruise Line in various guide books, this is the only comprehensive guide book I'm aware of!  Not only that, but it is absolutely awesome!  It is well written and full of tips and suggestions.

    The other thing is be ready to book Palo, Remy, spa, nursery, and shore excursions the first day that you can.  That occurs just after midnight in the early morning hours of the first day you are eligible to book.  That gives you the best chance of getting the reservations that you want. 

    The Fantasy is expected to be a spectacular ship!  I had a fabulous time on the Dream earlier this year; be sure to take the AquaDuck out for a spin! 

    Hopefully this helps!  Write back with more questions!
