Ahoy, Elaine!
Your magical voyage is just around the corner, and you’re about to set sail on the beautiful Disney Fantasy! I’m so excited for you—my family and I will actually be boarding the Fantasy ourselves soon for our second time, and we can’t wait to be back on this incredible ship. From the stunning Atrium to the
AquaDuck and all the pixie-dusted fun in between, you’re in for an unforgettable adventure!
If you haven’t already downloaded the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app, I highly recommend it. This app is truly the captain of all cruise planning tools! Once you’re in the terminal and connected to the ship’s Wi-Fi, you’ll have access to your full itinerary and a
list of all the onboard activities scheduled for your sailing. One of my favorite things to do while waiting to board in the terminal is to start scrolling through the activities and “hearting” the ones I don’t want to miss. This way, the app will send you a reminder 15 minutes before the event starts—super handy when you’re trying to fit in all the magic!
Right now, before you set sail, the app is also where you can check for any Port Adventures,
Adult Dining, Beverage Tasting Seminars, or spa treatments you might want to book. Just head into your reservation, click on “My Plans”, and then select “Add Activities” for each day of your cruise. This is the perfect way to make sure you’ve got some special experiences lined up in advance. But don’t worry—once you’re onboard, the full list of activities will appear, and that’s when the real fun of planning begins!
One of my family’s absolute must-do activities is Bingo. It’s always a highlight of our cruises! The Cast Members bring so much energy to the room, and it’s such a fun way to spend time together. I love the thrill of waiting for those numbers to be called and the excitement of hearing someone yell “Bingo!”—even if it’s not me (though let’s be honest, we all want that big win). It’s a fantastic way to relax and laugh together while onboard. Bingo is usually offered in the afternoons on port days (excluding embarkation day) and both mornings and afternoons on sea days, so keep an eye on the Navigator app to find a session that works for you.
Elaine, I hope this helps you feel prepared and excited to navigate your Disney Fantasy cruise! From planning your activities in the terminal to making unforgettable memories on Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay, your cruise is going to be filled with magic from start to finish.
Wishing you smooth seas, magical plans, and maybe even a little Bingo luck along the way!
Sea ya real soon with pixie dust and ocean breezes,
Dustin
