Living and Working at Disney- Soarin's CM Journal

[MmeLeota]

You got some awesome pics! We were anxiously awaiting the stern so we could see what character was used. That was one thing they kept under wraps at the D23 Expo...I can't wait to see all the detail! Awesome that your friend's dad was the one who designed Dumbo!

I so hope we can take pics onboard on the 15th. I'm so excited to see the interior. I've only seen photos of the interior, and they don't do it justice.

NaCler, you'd asked the itinerary.... the Fantasy is indeed calling Port Canaveral her home and will sail 7 night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises.

I just had a few moments now to take a look at your pics. AWESOME!!! I got goosebumps and I wasn't even there!!! Thanks for sharing Soarin! Keep the pics. and updates coming!

[NaCler]

Thanks for the info Soarin. I've done the Eastern Carib trip before, so I may to try the Western Carib on the Fantasy! It looks so nice!

Soarin', are we ever going to see details of Art of Animation?

...I mean see the detail of the ship in person...

Soarin', are we ever going to see details of Art of Animation?

I'm not sure that she was able to get any pictures at this point, but hopefully in the near future! But I'm looking forward to hearing all about it!
(one small beef with it right off the bat though...with all of the great Disney animated classics, why do "Finding Nemo" themed rooms when there are already "FN" themed rooms at Caribbean Beach Resort?)

That must have been awesome to see. Great job with getting pictures and sharing the excitement with us!

I don't have pics of it, it wasn't allowed, but I am going to tell about it. I'm working on it!

Wow ~ I thought I was impatient

I assume it is because kids today will relate more to Nemo than some other movies.

Now...why they are going to have The Little Mermaid AND Finding Nemo...I have no clue. All-Star Movies already has Toy Story...which I think would have worked at Art of Animation.

I don't see how both are that conflicting.... they're two totally different films, after all.

Once you see the Nemo part though, if any of you can on future trips, you'll see why it is a good fit. I was hesitant till I saw it. I'm in love with it now. There you go, a teaser leading up to the full report.

I guess because both carry the same "under the sea" theme. If they do them different enough from one another it would work though, I guess.

We were watching like kids on Christmas! It was hard to see on the camera we were watching from, but noticed Dumbo right away.

I can see the difference with TLM and FN...and I don't doubt that FN is well done and fits with the resort...I just don't understand why they chose to do FN when there's already FN rooms at CBR is all. I understand that kids relate more to the "modern" films (such as Pixar)...I just think it would have been a great opportunity to renew interest in a different classic instead of repeating a theme already carried a another resort.
Not complaining or anything, just curious as to why...

may be a lead-up to a refresh at CBR... to go with a different theme in the room...
