So, Diana is going to do a state room tour. I guess is why I’m going to go and pop some magnets around to some guests on the ship. So, we’ll just walk in and see what it’s like. Just bear in mind on the Disney Wonder, they do not have them. They have just a light switch. Okay. So, we’re just going to go in. This is an inside stateateroom with magical pole because that lights up. Hey. Oh, it’s got me in the Hey, happy days. Hello and welcome to Adventures with the Reads. This is our room tour. We are on the Disney Fantasy sailing from Southampton to Spain and France in September of 2025. We are staying in an inside standard stateateroom. Let’s have a look. So we are in state room 7567. So that’s on deck 7 inside standard stateateroom. So get in, use the key of the world card and in you come. As you first come in the door, oops, slam the door. There is a nice view of the whole room. To the left as you walk in is the wardrobe space with the life jackets up the top should you need them. Plenty of hangers and a safe. There’s also another bit of wardrobe here with some more hangers and a shelf up there. And that’s the ladders if you’re using the fourth bed which comes out of the ceiling. We are not as there is only three of us in this room. Carrying on to the left, there is the vanity unit with the light mirror, some drawers with the hair dryer in and the um heat mat for straighteners or curling tongs, whatever you have. [Music] Then in the middle is the drawer with the stationery in. This is our um gifts which we will show you in a second. The TV with Elliot and Reed party on cuz H comes before beauty shops. And then in here is the refrigerator. Uh, well, it’s actually a cool box, I think they refer it to. It’s not a fridge, but bin, a picture of the four ships, the magic, the wonder, the dream, and the fantasy. The lights, bedside table, and the stateateroom phone. see the magical port hole which if you watch closely eventually characters may come across your screen. This is the other side of the bed which has two sockets on there but there isn’t any on the other side. So of course now just having the side with the sockets under the bed storage if it will show you for your suitcases. The sofa and another this sofa turns into a third bed in the room. Um, it just pulls down so no extra floor space is needed, which is good. Lovely Disney artwork. And up there, should you need it, is the fourth bed, which estate room host will pull down for you. There’s also a privacy curtain there between the main bed and the sofa bed. Then on this side is the bathroom. So, because this is a standard room, it’s all in one room. On most Disney ships, they have a split bathroom, but on the standard inside room, it’s just one bathroom. We have a sink with hand soap. Then we have body lotion, flannels, obviously a mirror with me in. You don’t get me included though. Towels. toilet of course and the bath shower. It’s a small bath, but you’ll get your butt in it. That’s the main thing. And then a shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Then over here is the shower, which is removable for people like me who like to wash their hair over the side of the bath rather than in the shower. Perfection. Then there’s the two washing lines up there should you have wet things you want to dry off. And the tub. So I am 5’4 and I’m going to show you if I can get in the bath. Take my shoes off. I’m getting in in my socks though. [Music] Bearing in mind I’m 5’4 and I can sit in it, but I can’t stretch out. But at least my butt will get washed. Now I’ve got to try and get out again cuz I keep filming because I’ve got my socks on on a slidy bath. There we go. And that Oh, and there’s a full length mirror on the door. There’s a bin down there with some tissues. Then on the vanity is of course more outlets. So, there’s the haird dryer outlet, two USBs, and then two more plugs there. And then this is our stateateroom gift. So, we’ve got our lanyards. We like to open one. And because we’re silver, we get the beach bag. And that concludes the room tour. Thank you for watching along with me. We hope you had a magical journey with us and we’ll see you again soon with Adventures with the Reed. Oops, I forgot to show you the land head. So cute. Tada. Goodbye. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Right. So, we’re going on an adventure. It looks like we’re going on an adventure round deck seven out deck. [Music] No, we’re actually going to be just dropping some few bits in people’s fish. Like a bit of a pixie dust. Pixie dust. We’ve got mustard drill at 4:00. Oh, it’s a dark 4:00. The theater. We always get the theater. Oh, looks me. Looks like somebody’s got on flashy flashy door. We always like to watch a little bit of magic. Look. Poor dog. Wow. Yes, she did. Uh, like I said, got a mustard drill. Uh, there’s no shows tonight, which is a bit disappointing, but um I’m sure we’ll make use of the time. They sail away at half past 4. We’ll get a snippet of that and then we’re going to head to the back of the ship. Like I said earlier, Ian. Oh, look. There’s a there. I shall vlog it in a minute because I know where it is now. Um, like I was saying that um a friend on Instagram is uh letting his drone fly. So, we’re going to wave and then you’ll see it on this edited version of LeBron like that. And then we got dinner tonight at is it royal court? Royal Court at 8:15. But I’m going to head to one of the shops at 7:45. So that’s before we get a stampede cuz you know there’s going to be a stampede, don’t it? So there you go. I’m going to spin you back around, show you a few more doors. Oh, that’s the person from the group that’s organized. Oh, cute. What do you mean? You don’t do it. Oh, it’s a Jedi one. Oh, and just married. Congratulations, by the way, if you’ve just got married. first anniversary and happy anniversary and just got married. We just like married. Yeah. And that’s we’ll catch you very shortly. The Walt Disney Theater. Good old classic Mickey. Hi you pal. How you doing? Also have the midship detective and the muppets board. See the muppets board. We’ve got to find the door, haven’t you? Which is on deck five. Well, that was mandatory. Done in the theater assembly station F that everybody has to attend. So, we’ve now come up and we’re at the front of the ship. So, we need to go to the back of the ship for my friend Ian and his drone before we sail away. Hey. Oh, you missed Karina. Right. So, everybody’s watching Saila Away. So, we’re going to stick some inserts in here so you know what Sailaway is. And these guys are playing ping pong ball. Ping pong and ballish. I’ve never played before, haven’t you? Just think of it as like ice hockey, Diana, but without the ice. Happy days. Oh dear. I think it’s waves. It’s Oh dear. The things we do to entertain ourselves. [Music] Sorry, I’m not picking up. So anyway, it’s the Independence Independence of the Seas is here be behind us. Um, but we’re facing that way. So, we’re actually going to be turning round and then hopefully we sail into the big sea for our seven night western Europe cruise. Right. So, we’ve left next time we sail from Southampton, we’ll be gone. Yes, we’ll be gone next time. So, I’m just going to say show you some sailing boats just over there. Just going down the bottom to turn around. Oh, I’ve turned you around as well. Yay. You get a face. There’s Dian. You were saying we’re going to be gold next time, isn’t it? Yeah. Nigel and I will be gold next time we sail from Southampton. Oh, yes. That’ll be on the Disney Dream. Yeah. Let’s go, which will also be sailing on the Disney Dream.

Hi you both. I finally got round to watch this. I found it hard to watch as I just wanted to be there. Glad you had straight forward boarding. Xxx
So good to see the drone from that angle thank you nigel I'm so glad you all had the best time 🙂
Great video. Really looking forward to watching the rest. Looks like you were just down the (long) corridor from us in room 7600.
Also I think we make a little appearance in the background in the top right corner on the balcony at 46:30 onwards. 🙂
Great video! I can watch Embarkation Day videos all day!!
