Hi from Australia!

Ello everyone!

My name is Sera, and I am from Adelaide in South Australia, Australia! I'm so excited to be part of an adult WDW forum, and meet like minded people! My fiance and I will be making our very first trip to WDW, and our first Disney cruise on the Fantasy in September 2012 as part of our honeymoon!! I came across The Complete Idiot's Guide To Walt Disney World almost 4 years ago now in the library. Loved it so much, that I went out and bought the latest edition. Haven't looked back since!

I absolutely love Disney animation. My very first memory of Disney is watching The Little Mermaid in the cinema when I was 4. Have tons of books about Disney and Walt Disney himself, as well as books about WDW. Most people seem to know me as "that Disney girl". I love listening to Disney soundtracks and finding people who love and appreciate Disney just as much as I do!!

Hello Sera and to WDWFG. You have found a forum with the absolute greatest and best mannered participants anywhere. We love to discuss Disney and as you will see FOOD . So pull up a keyboard and any questions you have just "ask away"

Welcome aboard and congrats on the upcoming nuptuals. My husband and I celebrated our honeymoon in WDW in March 2009. It was a fantastic trip! Make sure you wear the "just married" buttons they give you. They get you a few perks!

Nice long trip! Nearly as long as the flights to and from!

I can barely handle LAX to Hawaii...Can't imagine Australia to MCO.

It's going to be like 2 days in transit, or something crazy like that. We gain time, on the way there, and then lose a day, on the way back!

Congrats!!!

Be sure to wear the bride and groom ears - or at least get the buttons. We did on our honeymoon, and we got a bunch of extras and tons of special treatment!!!

EVERYTHING!!

I know I will be heading into every port for some exploration! As for onboard activities, I'm not entirely sure what there will be to do. I know there will be plenty of stuff to do, I just don't know what! Any previous cruisers that could please fill me in?

Be sure to tell us all about it when you're done. I'm still on the fence about cruising and I always want to hear first-timers' opinions.

Hi Sera - I'm late to the party, but wanted to say Welcome! And we're so glad you're here! I think that, unless something comes up, you may be our very first member to cruise on the Fantasy, so we're so excited to hear all about your experience!

I'm thrilled for you and your fiance - that you get to do Disney for the first time together, that you're having such a wonderfully long honeymoon trip with lots of variety! What a great way to start your life together!

Please let us know if there is anything specific we can help you plan, like Advanced Dining Reservations, tips and tricks, suggestions for touring. Are you and fiance really active, go-go-go folks, or do you like to take it easy? What kinds of food do you like? The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival - awesomeness! - starts on Sept 28. Will you be in town for that?

We're a combination of both. I want to get out there, and do stuff, but we also want time to take it easy, and relax. We might be able to make The Food & Wine Festival, as we leave on the 29th.

We will be on the Disney Fantasy from the 8th-15th of September, and at WDW from the 15th-29th September.

There will definitely be a trip report when I get back, with TONS of photos! (Most of them probably food,as I have a habit of taking photos of my good when I eat out!) MNSSHP is something I've been looking at for sometime now. I definitely want to go!!
