Wow - what a wonderful holiday cruise you are about to embark on, Daniel! This family reunion voyage sounds like it will be pretty epic with all your special buccaneers in attendance.
The majestic Disney Fantasy is a great venue for this awesome event -- lots of magical memories just waiting to be made! Since you've got a whole lot of buccaneers traveling with you, I would definitely suggest looking at the
photography packages available for pre-order. You get a 15% discount if you order a package before you set sail. I will usually pre-order the CD, so that we can take as many pictures as we want while onboard. You can get prints too, if you'd like - there's a package that comes with a CD plus prints of all your photos while on your cruise.
There will be plenty of group photo opportunities from the moment you step onto the Port and on the gangway to enter the ship. You'll want to make sure that everyone in your party meets at the port check-in area and you all walk into the embarkation area as a group. This way, your embarkation photo will have your complete cast of characters! This would be a great time to even coordinate outfits or shirts that commemorate your family reunion. What awesome pictures you can look forward to.
The Photographers will usually need to scan your Key to the World Card to make sure that all photos are linked to you and your stateroom. It will be a good idea to have the same card (yours) scanned by the photographer each time — it assures you that all the group photos will be loaded & matched to your card. You can view the photos every evening at Shutters on Deck 4. Each night, the professional photographers will setup signature backgrounds in the lobby, this is also a great time to coordinate more group pictures with special Disney Cruise Line backdrops. Bon voyage,
