…Because dreams really do come true!
The reason you love your best friend has a lot to do with back-story; you don’t have to start over again. You just start talking and they know the hows and whys.

I teased you a few days ago, promising to let you know all about the amazing eats on The Disney Fantasy. Well that time has come at last. When Team GEM boarded the ship, one of the first things we did, well, COLE did, was scope out all the places to eat.

All ashore that’s going ashore!
Oh wow, how I wish I could wake up to this every morning.

2Wooo-wee.. I finally slowed down long enough to tell you about a truly magical experience the kids and I had a few weeks ago. Remember I told you we had been invited to set sail on the brand, spanking new Disney Fantasy? Well it was a remarkable as I thought it would be.
You’ll recall I had attended a special, behind-the-scenes technology tour, getting an intimate peek into how it all happens. Then, the next day, I was fortunate enough to attend the Christening of The Fantasy, so setting sail More >

1Hey everyone! The first quarter of the year is just about over and the breakneck pace that we started the year with here, shows no sign of letting up.
In about a week, the kids and I will be heading south in style on board the Disney Fantasy. You’ll recall I had the great fortune to sail on her sister ship The Disney Dream last year. Well, this ship is just as resplendent. I can’t wait for the kids to see it.

Remember a few days ago, I told you I had the pleasure of being on hand for the christening of The Disney Fantasy, the newest and fourth ship in the Disney Fleet. You can go here and read more about the party but let me tell you a little more about the ship herself. The Fantasy is the 130,000 ton sister vessel of The Disney Dream, which I sailed on last year.
