Hi Everyone, I have been waiting for this thread to be posted! I booked this April cruise while onboard on our Thanksgiving cruise. :) I figured what better way to celebrate my 40th birthday- alot better than sulking and way better than the face lift or botox treatments than I was thinking of doing. I really don't like needles anyway.

Kamiahsmom is the one who brought this thread forward so we could find it. For some reason, it didn't get added to the meets thread until we asked IrishCowboy.

I'm Deb and am sailing with friends (it's one adventure during our girls week) Looking forward to exploring the new ship:flower3:

I was fortunate enough to have celebrated a "milestone" birthday on the Magic a few months ago . . . it was a BLAST! Best birthday party ever :thumbsup2 You will enjoy the memories you make :goodvibes

LOL! I couldn't think of a better place to spend it and I refuse to spend the day sulken in bed like I did for my 30th. I am sure you're right it'll be awesome memories! I too can't wait to explore the ship, heck I can't wait for our DISboard folks to sail on her this month so we can start getting some inside tips!

[Mmketeer]

Happy New year fellow 4/28 Dream sailors! Wahooo!! That means we are just that much closer to our sail date!!:thumbsup2

Welcome carstinkmom!

Gosh, maybe it's time to do a new list of who's going on this cruise. Anyone good at doing that? On our Thanksgiving cruise one DIS person always had the first page of the thread with the list of names that are sailing. :)

PS

Are you guys gonna start talking Fish Extenders? I mean I don't have kids to participate, but I bet some of ya'll sailing do. You know we only got three months until the cruise! :):goodvibes

[DizzylandDeb]

:banana: We were able to secure reservations for Remy on our first night! Looking forward to the experience :goodvibes

Oh wow! Congrats! :thumbsup2 Gosh you'll have to tell us all about it when you get back. I would have loved to book that, but I haven't even gotten this cruise paid off yet, so their is no way I could come up with the $75pp for Remys.

Aren't the pictures from the shake down cruise's amazing? Man it look like the oceanview stateroom windows are even bigger than they use to be. :goodvibes

Really? Bigger, that's great news! :) I have oceanview gty., so I'll be happy with whatever I get oceanview or balcony. But, the waiting to find out the location wil drive me crazy once everyone starts sailing in 10 days and chatting about their staterooms and locations.

[Mmketeer]

I'm interested in the fish extender, this will be a first for me, so can someone explain it to me? 3 in our party,Me(Danielle), my mom, (Gloria) and my DS Cameron(11, but will turn 12 on last day of cruise).

A fish extender is something that you have on your cabin door, its like a little organiser, can be bought or home made, (im sure there will be threads on here with photographs on) what happens is everybody fetches small gifts from their home town, either handmade, or small inexpensive things (candy, fridge magnets, pencils, etc) for the other people in the fish extender group. Once onboard we all have a day to deliver our gifts into other peoples fish extenders.
Its so much fun pottering around the corridors where you wouldnt go otherwise, and its so exciting opening the little presents,,,,okay maybe Im easily pleased, but we thoroughly enjoyed it!
We would need at least three people so we could have a delivery every day.

Hope Ive explained that well enough, my irish/english confuses even me!!

[bella-noel]

Ok I have the general idea, but I have a few questions. 1. Do you give a gift to each person in the group or as a family? 2. Do you give a gift for each day on the cruise? and last question, are we provided with cabin numbers?:flower3:

1. It is up to you if you want to give a gift to each cabin (FE participant) or each person in their cabin.

2. You pick which day you want to deliver. If you want to give every day, that is ok, but generaly just one day of the cruise is fine.(other than disembarkation day)

3. Whomever keeps the FE list can collect the cabin #'s and PM the list to the participants.

:welcome: JSClemsonFan



Thanks!

I have two questions:
1. Is there a place on the Dream for FE? I am seeing photos that show different things than fish and I can't tell if they can be hung there. There may not be a hanger and it may cover the electronic key.

2. We are in concierge and I'm reading those rooms are not accessible without a key...so how will FE work for people to deliver our gifts???

[bella-noel]

Thanks, that sounds like so much fun, i'm already thinking of things I would like to give:idea:

:worship: ooh, lucky you!!

I think we're going to have to wait to see how the FE exchanges work out for those on the first few sailings. I'm sure Disney is going to have to figure something out for the concierge level. There's probably enough people that participate in the exchanges that the subject would need addressed ;)

Yes, I agree. I am thinking they should hang some fish outside the gated area or something. So we want to participate...but I think we are going to have to wait for the first few sailings to come back and report. Maybe I'll "lurk" on their thread and figure out how they are going to work it. :thumbsup2

:welcome: SDtink :goodvibes

There are about 3 or 4 people that have expressed interest in an FE exchange. (The group I'm traveling with isn't going to participate this trip, but have done so in the past) No one has been designated coordinator yet. Hopefully, someone will come forward soon :thumbsup2
:flower3:

[bella-noel]

We are still very interested in the FE, this will be our 1st time so I believe an experienced member should be our leader. PLEASE TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER:rotfl: That was corny was'nt it?

[SDtink]

We are going too!

[SDtink]

I want to do Fe also. Around 20 works best. Anyone interested post to me and I'll start a list.

[SDtink]

If you are interested in a fish extender group let me know. I'll do what I can to organize if no one else can.

[SDtink]

What would I have to do to organize FE? I would be willing to do it.

[Dizneycrazee]

Hi,
went away for two days,,,,and all these posts!!

Sorry your not on our cruise Jclemson,,hope you have a good one the following week!!!

Welcome SDTink.:yay::yay::yay:

Ill update the onboard board if anyone wants to be added.

Im interested in the fish extender, participated in a few but never organised one, dosnt really take much organising though, just a matter of deciding who delivers on which day and giving out the cabin numbers. Especially that there dosnt seem to be that many of us : (

If nobody else wants to do it I will.

Yeah the time ticking away is what scares me. :) Oh Lordy, Lordy, I really don't want to be Fourty! That's why I decided to do a Disney cruise as Disney is all about the "Happiest Place on Earth" and I am certainly gonna need to find a happy place. :) I swear I didn't even get out of bed when I turned 30 and I didn't want to hear anybody say "Happy Birthday." I am really trying to be better about all of it this time around. Heck, I usually celebrate my birthday for a whole week and not just for a day. On the FE-I don't know, let me think about for awhile. :)

:rotfl: I celebrated (and I mean CELEBRATED) my 50th birthday on the Magic! My friends and family did a marvelous job making sure EVERYONE on board knew about it too! My friend made t-shirts for everyone to wear, my daughter-in-law created a scavenger hunt which had all of us parading all over the ship with a lovely birthday party/presents after and to top it off, dinner at Palo!

Have a think, but Id say you'll enjoy it., it really dosnt have to be fancy or expensive.

I turned 40 ,,,,,heavily pregnant in Barcelona,,,couldnt drink couldnt walk,,,
now we have a little 5yr old afterthought to make us grey prematurely,,,,
So turning 40 is a cause for celebration and you get a free cake with your dinner- yaaaaaaaaaaaay!:yay:

Looking forward to joining you. This is a last minute addition to my graduation present to self. We're coming to Florida April 27th for a couple of weeks (from the beautiful prairies of central canada - straight north of north dakota) and had a few days free and kept checking the disneycruise website and lo and behold if a cat 11 GTY didn't pop up one night at midnight for a song so we jumped on board and we'll be seeing you soon.

We don't know where our cabin is but we know they have a cabin set aside somewhere.

We've done one cruise before (Magic, western, 2008) and really just want to spend as much time exploring the new ship and to have another day at Castaway Cay. Does PCD (Post Cruise Depression) ever really go away? Ever since we stepped off board, we've been pining to step on board a Disney cruise ship again.

We're going to opt out of the FE but I'd love to meet other Dis'ers so that we can say "hi" when we meet at the quiet cove pool, cafe or if I bump into you on the dance floor.

Cheers

:welcome: CoolCanadian Glad to have you join us!

I'm Deb, traveling with my friends (all of whom are in the photos in my pictures above). Its our girls trip to the World with a quick cruise thrown in :jumping1: We are looking forward to exploring the new ship. We were able to get a reservation for Remy and an extended veranda on Deck 5 (guess we'll see how those work out . . .I'm thinking positively)

:flower3:

[SDtink]

Welcome on board Cool Canadian. This will be our second cruise. But 10th trip to WDW. This time I'll have my daughter, son-in-law and two youngest grandkids with me. I'm so excited I can hardly stand it.

[SDtink]

Don't worry about being 40. I probably have you all beat..I'm turning 63 next week! Time marches on and there isn't anything you can do about it. My policy is meet it with dignity and grace and act the age you feel not the age you are. Whick makes me a kid at heart and lov'in life!

[Kamiahsmom]

So excited about the FE!
My party will include Me(Kina), Sharon and DD(Kamiah(5) and Joslyn(5).

[Mmketeer]

Have a think, but Id say you'll enjoy it., it really dosnt have to be fancy or expensive.

I turned 40 ,,,,,heavily pregnant in Barcelona,,,couldnt drink couldnt walk,,,
now we have a little 5yr old afterthought to make us grey prematurely,,,,
So turning 40 is a cause for celebration and you get a free cake with your dinner- yaaaaaaaaaaaay!:yay:

Bren

LOL! Gosh, I guess it won't be that bad at least I'll be able to have a celebatory drink. And, hey I am always in for free cake! LOL!

Happy "early" Birthday (in case I forget to say it next week). Or heck maybe you are already starting to celebrate. LOL! That's really good advice. :) I will take that to heart, I especially like the act the age you feel, not the age you are part. :) Reminds me of a Jimmy Buffet song..."I am growing older, but not up."
That's me! LOL! :thumbsup2

Welcome CoolCanadian! Oh and grats on your up coming graduation celebration. :thumbsup2 Looks like we'll both be celebrating on this cruise. :) I have added you to page one on here for the who is going on this cruise list. Looking forward to meeting you, by the way since I am a local Florida resident feel free to prick my brain about your stay down here before your cruise. :) And no I don't think post cruise depression ever goes away. I complain alot about that, I think that's why I got the "where's my free room service cookie" tag under my signature by the DisBoard tag fairy. LOL! The tag doesn't quite go well with my Disney Camping threads when I post there though. :)

[CoolCanadian]

Hi folks.
Thanks for the warm welcome!!
Deb, I hope that I get to meet you and your friends. I'd love to see some familiar faces at the cafe or at morning breakfast (my DD is a night owl and I'm a bit of a morning bird). On the last (first) cruise I ordered breakfast in bed each morning 'cause you can but I took some heat for having the phone ring at 8:30 each day when room service called to say they were on their way. Tough on a teen who was in The Stack until the wee hours of the morning!
Mmketeer, lucky you living in a State with so many lovely ports. Manitoba is pretty much landlocked unless you want to head EVEN FURTHER NORTH to the arctic ocean,..., somehow not the same. Since this was a last minute decision, we are staying at the CIS airport the night before and after our Dream cruise and using the Disney shuttle. For 2 folks it seems to work out to a pretty good price. We fly in the evening before so will get to the airport in the morning and try to catch a shuttle close to 10am (first departure time).
By the way - I went online to see if there were any cabins on our cruise and it wasn't even showing on the list anymore. Perhaps its sold out?
Cheers

:rolleyes1 If CIS refers to Country Inn & Suites . . .we're staying at the same hotel the night before the cruise too! :upsidedow

I don't think there will be any staying up until the wee hours for us, but I have a "reputation" for being the early bird in the group :sad2: I blame my time zone, but really, I can't seem to sleep when there's so much vacationing to do :dance3:

[CoolCanadian]

Hi Deb
I realized after my last post I still hadn't introduced myself. I'm Sandra and DD is Natasha. I've had a milestone birthday or two and that's as far as I'm going with that :-)
Yes, CIS is Country Inn Suites Orlando Airport. It got good reviews on tripadvisor and the free shuttle to and from the airport makes it convenient for our trip along with what I hear is a pretty good complimentary breakfast (starting as early as 6:30 or 7am I think - not bad for the early birds).
When I added ground transportation for the cruise, the rep said that the first shuttle left the airport at 10am. Any guesses for what time we should be at the airport to catch the first one?
Cheers,

[DizzylandDeb]

I did a quick search on the main cruise board and found this information http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=37645781&postcount=9 or http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=37645671&postcount=8

Maybe it will help you decide when to get to the airport to catch the bus. We have a rental car, and will probably leave the hotel around 9 a.m.

[CoolCanadian]

Thanks!
That's helpful. With just two, the shuttle seems to be the best option and worry free. Thank you for the links. It looks like there may be a 9:30 departure so we'll see how eager we are to get up in the morning and maybe aim to be at the airport closer to 9'ish rather than 10.
Cheers,

[bella-noel]

Yes, I am truely blessed. Now if I could just have more money, so I can really take advantage of it. LOL! Looks like you got a good plan CoolCanadian, you certainly won't regret coming in a day earlier. :)

[CoolCanadian]

Hi Mmkteer
Thanks for the advice. We were lucky and got a direct flight from home to MCO but its still a long travel day and who wants to board the Dream tired? DD has actually said "well, if we don't sleep we can fit it all in" in response to "how are we going to do/see everything we want to!
Maybe you will win a lottery and then you can cruise all you want :thumbsup2. see you soon,

You know I am not sure I did sleep on my first cruise which was on the Disney Magic. Oh wait yeah I think I did, but only for a few hours a night! :) It seems like no matter what though I am always tired the first day. I think part of it is the getting up at 6:30am to get out the door by 7 or so and all the adreniline. I am like a kid at Christmas time when it comes to cruising and the ship is my present! :) This time around it's such a quick cruise it will be tough. But, I will stay onboard in Nassau and probably at CC too. So, that will give me a little more time onboard. Oh and if I win the lottery, ya'll will know it, cause' I'd invite you guys as my guest onboard! But, alas I think you have to play before you can win. My luck is horrible. I mean I don't go to casino's, but if I did I'd probably be better off just handing them a $20 when I walk in the door and be done with it instead of trying to place a bet.

[Mmketeer]

Heads up fellow cruiser's....especially if you check this thread first!

Their is a new terminal port check in procedure! Keep your eye on your reservation through Disneycruise.com and go to your online check in process. You will now have to choose the time you will arrive the port and the wording says "MUST" arrive at the port. I got the 10:30 time, but there goes my whole theory of trying to get there before 10am! I am a Gold member so I don't know if everyone gets to pick this far in advance. Though I heard Platinum members and suite guests don't even have to choose a time. Gosh, my "cheese" just got moved again. LOL!

Choose a Port Arrival Time.
10:30 AM - 11:00 AM

11:00 AM - 11:30 AM

11:30 AM - 12:00 PM

12:00 PM - 12:30 PM

[DizzylandDeb]

^^^ Yes, I noticed that last night ^^^
We chose the 10:30 arrival time. We have 2 reservations with varying Castaway status for all of us. I guess we wait and see how this all plays out. Our group is coming to the terminal together regardless! :rotfl2:

[Dizneycrazee]

Hi Fellow Shipmates!

Been busy so never got to look in for a few days.

Hope everyone is doing well and getting excited! :banana:

Sorry to hear Bella-noel is no longer on our sailing, but hope you have a great trip!

WELCOME Cool Canadian:)

As for the fish extender it seems we dont have enough now :eek: I think theres only two of us left in it which seems a bit too small, what does anyone think?

Thanks for the info about the boarding times,,,, I emailed disney to ask where mine was,,,,only to be told I'll still be on the boat,,,, DOH!!!!
I had forgotten we are doing the four night sailing beforehand and apparently we get walked off the boat and walked back on once all the departers have gone.:thumbsup2

Maybe Ill give you all a big cheer when you come aboard, we'll fetch our irish flag so you can avoid us. :laughing:

Getting very excited now, even managed to start the diet!

Bren:cheer2:

[SDtink]

I'm so confused! Nothing new! I thought these cruisers were on the FE list: Dizneycrazee (3 people), Dizzylander (?). CARSTINKMOM (?), MMKETEER (?), KMIHamom (2), SDtink (6).

[SDtink]

We have 2 of us me and hubby plus my daughter, her husband and Tanner (6) and Cora (4)
We for sure want to do it. i just finished sewing one FE and have started the second!

Maybe we need to firm everything up and find out how many partys are DEFINITLEY joining in.

I certainly will, but maybe someone else may want to organise it with all the comings and goings of the shipmates, Im confused :guilty:

I know we are very lucky, or just very addicted, one of the two. We are flying a long way though so you may as well do two, dont you think??? <<thats how I convince the hubby anyway:lmao::lmao:

I think I might "roll" into the atrium (remembering Ill have already ate my way through the ship for the previous 4 nights) and whoop whoop WHOOP you all when you embark.

I remember the first time we embarked a disney cruise my daughter was 4 at the time and she did a very grand bow and curtsey, when they called out our name.:goodvibes

:chat: Just an FYI . . .
Cass (aka Timon) is in the process of writing her trip report from her Jan 30th Dream cruise. It had LOTS of wonderful pictures. It is a work in progress. Thought some here might be interested in reading her thoughts and looking at all the great photos :woohoo:

My guess...probably a little of both, LOL! Yeah, I guess their is no way to beat you to the buffet line since your doing the back to back. Well I guess I'll know who to go to for food reccomendations. :lovestruc He,he I'll be listening for the Whoop, whoop- then I'll know it's you. :) I hope to be onboard once again by 11:45. I wonder if I'll be able to snag another boarding ticket #1 again.

Your daughter sounds adorable- I bet she still is. :)

Wow, Timon has done a great job with her trip report. It's the best I have seen yet. Thanks for sharing it!
Guys, I am either gonna need some serious pixie dust with a upgrade from the upgrade fairy or some extra money, cause' I have just recently realized what a cat. 9a gty is that I have booked. Man, it was all that was available back in Dec. and it was a great rate. But, it's those wierd looking forward rooms. I really wanted a normal oceanview cabin that actually looks like the other cabins I have sailed in before on DCL. UGH!:mad:

We sailed RCCL Mariner of the Seas a couple years ago to the Mexican Rivera and had a forward facing cabin on deck 7. WE LOVED IT! We had a corner room which looks similar to the pictures I've seen on the main cruise board. I think the room most people are concerned about is on deck 6 which has quite a slant. I suppose it all depends on your needs/wants/likes, but the room felt spacious to us. My DH pulled the desk chair up to the porthole and spent most of the time in front of the window watching for whales. :laughing:

In fact we have a 9A GTY booked on the Fantasy for April 2012. I'm hoping we get a forward cabin as I really liked it on the other ship (even though it's a different cruise line) I have decided I'm one of those that likes the front of the ship!:rolleyes1

On this cruise (4/28) we have a deck 5 extended veranda in the aft of the ship. I have been watching the threads concerning the aft rooms hearing a lot of noise from the lounges on deck 4. Our room is above a hallway, so I'm hoping we don't get all the "boom-boom" noise people are talking about, but I guess we'll see :confused3

We're going to have a great cruise . . . no matter what :woohoo:

:) I was on the madien voyage of Mariner, great ship. :) And, I was actually lucky enough to get upgraded into a balcony. :) Wahoo! I agree it's not that bad really of a cabin and I wouldn't mind it on another cruiseline. But, it just doesn't say Disney cruise ship to me. I have actually only been lucky enough to get a balcony 1 of the 8 times I have sailed with Disney. Normally I am on deck two in a oceanview cabin, which I like. And I don't care where it is on the ship. :) I hope your cabin won't be too noisy, but I'd be willing to switch with you if it is. LOL! I'll cross my fingers for you and you cross them for me. :)

[Mmketeer]

Okay, I don't know if this is my fault or not- if it is I apologize. But, it looks like the FE questions was skipped over without a definite answer. Are we doing it or aren't we? I am not sure who was heading this all up, but I know it wasn't me cause' I have never done it before. I'll be happy to note FE next to the list I have on here on page 1 of who's cruising if anyone can confirm we are still doing this thing. Thanks!

[SDtink]

I think we are still doing the FE. I think these cruisers are on the FE list: Dizneycrazee (3 people), Dizzylander (?). CARSTINKMOM (?), MMKETEER (?), KMIHAMOM (2), SDtink (6). I've been trying to keep up with it because we really want to do it.

[SDtink]

KAMIAHSMOM has 4 (2 adults + 2 kids both girls) If no one else wants to keep the list and info I will. However, I've never done it before.

[Kamiahsmom]

I'm getting very excited. 67 more days. My DD Kamiah does not we are going yet. She keep showing me these pictures of the Disney Dream ship which have been mail to the house, talking about how much she wants to go on the boat and get on the big slide. She is going to be so excited!!!

[Mmketeer]

Thanks for asnwering this question guys. Okay, it looks like their are only two people that are sailing with us and chatting here that aren't on the FE list. I just updated the who's going list on page one with the intials FE next to the names that are participating. I know that will help me keep it all straight. Now, if you have any suggestions for a newbie on how to do this feel free to type away your advice. I am all ears. :)

Wow, that is so cool I don't know how you can keep that under wraps though. I know I couldn't. :) Man, is she gonna freak when you do tell her- I hope you get it on video. ;)

;) Actually, we won't be participating in the FE Exchange this time. We did it on our last cruise and it was fun finding treasures that were left for us, but we ladies are going to keep it simple on this trip :thumbsup2

Okay Dizzyland Deb, I'll take you off the list for it. :) No worries.

[Mmketeer]

Okay well $22 later I now have all the materials I need to make this FE thing. Gosh, now I wish I had done it before as using it 8 times by now certainly could've helped cover the expense of making this thing. But, it's gonna look fabulous when it's done. :) I went all out and even bought those Disney applicays from Joann Fabrics at $3.99 a peice! LOL!

[SDtink]

Good luck with your fish extender. I have one finished and have started on the second one. Also bought some goodies yesterday! I'm so excited.

[newjerseymomma]

We would!!! We did one on the disney med cruise last aug and it was great fun!!
Come on fellow shipmates,,,, :banana:

Glad to see more people are on this :dance3:

Bren:goodvibes

We are in! My 3 kids and nephew are looking to do them!:cheer2:

I am surprising my 3 kids too, I told them that their christmas gift was not done being being built yet, waking them up and trhowing them on flight to "pick up the gift" letting them find out when they see the shuttle! They keep begging to go, they think we MIGHT go in 2 years

[newjerseymomma]

I am trying to PM abot FE but it wont let me :( We would like to this with you

[SDtink]

Yea, NewJerseymomma and welcome. How can you keep the secret!!! I'd never be able to do it! Have you been on a cruise before? Have the kids ever been? I'm so glad you're joining the our Fish Extender group. It will be a lot of fun.

[Dizneycrazee]

Hi people,

Yayyyy another FE person, welcome Newjerseymomma!!

I cant scroll back for some reason,,,, so sorry if Ive missed something, but if you can pm me with your details (you'll probably have to post a few more threads before they let you) Names, ages of the children etc.

You are so good to be able to keep the secret. that advert where people are telling their children they are going to disneyworld at the last minute,,,is playing on UK tv all the time,,,it makes me cry everytime...:sad1::sad1::sad1:

Ive told my 6 yr old, cant keep a secret, need it to bribe her to be good.:lmao:

Not long now folks,,,, :yay::yay::yay:

:welcome: newjerseymomma

[Mmketeer]

Welcome aboard newjerseymomma! I have added you to our list of who will be sailing with us and noted that you will be participating in the FE. Your name is now listed on the first page. :)

[newjerseymomma]

I am not able to PM, it says I have not posted enough?! Not sure if you PM if I can respond to it.

I have no idea how I have been keeping this from them. I have toutured them by letting the kids watch the videos that have been posted of the dream, they get SO excited and say they can not wait to go in a few years. Hardest part is keeping other family from saying anything, we are going with my mom and bro & sis in law & nephew. None of the little ones know. I thought for sure my 8yr old would of figured it out when the info came in the mail.
I am not a crier but I already informed family I will be balling when they figure it out

This is our first Disney Cruise, I have been on Carnival pre kids.

[newjerseymomma]

SD Tink I got your message but I still can not reply until I do 10 posts. LOL! So I guess I will be making random posts tonight on here so I can get that out of the way. :)
Kim

[SDtink]

Kim, I got your PM. You sound just like us! LOL. My family always travels in herds! This time I'm going with my husband, daughter, son -in-law and 2 grandkids. My daughter and I went pre kids for her. We had a blast! Now to be able to see my 2 grandkids enjoy it is beyond my wildest dreams. The FE's are great fun for all. I made ours. My daughters family has 4 pockets. One for each member of their family. Mine and my husbands has 2 pockets. What you give and when you give is all up to you. Some people only give once. It can get expensive. Some only give to kids. Some give to adults and kids and give all three night. I am giving to everyone, adults and kids and i have something for each night of the cruise. That's just me. I love to give! I've been hitting the dollar store and the bins at Target and making something for everyone also. Disneycrazy is heading up the list. She will give everyone a final list with cabin numbers and such. I've been keeping track and so far I have 16 adults and 10 kids including you guys. The things you give and get vary. It certainly doesn't have to be expensive. Go on line and put in fish extender gift ideas. My grandson is 7 and my granddaughter is 4..we'll have to get the kids together for sure. I'll be the grandma on the Aqua Duck!

[DizzylandDeb]

I'll be the grandma on the Aqua Duck!

:lmao: So will I! :rotfl:

[Mmketeer]

Remember to give all your information guys for those of you participating in the FE to Disneycrazy.

I am still a gty at this moment, but trust me you all will know what I get assigned when I finally get it. Oh by the way anyone interested in also becoming Facebook friends so we can see pics of each other?

[Dizneycrazee]

Hi Dreamers:)

[newjerseymomma]

Don't forget to count my brothers room too! I sent his info in too :)

[SDtink]

It's getting closer!!! I'm so pumped. I made a packing list and went shopping today for travel size shampoo and stuff. I started putting things I don't want to forget into a box. Travel flashlight, tissues, suntan lotion, etc. I also found some more FE stuff! I'll try to post pics of my FE as soon as figure out how to work my new camera! LOL!

[Phototech11]

Count us in the FE...Wife and I are taking our first Disney Cruise with our princess Kate(10). I will attemp to send a PM but being so new to the blogs not sure if it will let me.pirate:

:welcome: Phototech11

[Phototech11]

Has anyone checked to see if Cat 1-3 is booked for the 4/28 Dream cruise?

Just wondering what upgrades might be available.

Trying to find all the little extra things to do or bring with us...so far we have:

1. FE
2. Magnetic door decorations
3. T-Shirt and Fabric Markers
4. Matted Picture Frame

Anyone else have other ideas I left out?

Oh we are not telling our daughter about the cruise until either Easter Sunday before the cruise or that morning...planning on filming her reaction...lol

[newjerseymomma]

Not telling my 3 kids either, going to let them figure it out when they see the shuttle at the airport.

[SDtink]

Welcome on board Phototech11 and family! Also welcome to the FE list. Spent time this weekend trying on summer clothes that have been packed away since we live on the frozen tundra! LOL! I think I'm almost ready!
What is everyone doing in Nassau. We have been to Atlantis so we would like do something else this time. Anyone been to the Pirate Museum there or one of the forts?

[SDtink]

Whoohoo! Counting days down. I can almost feel the ocean breeze!:woohoo:

[SDtink]

Mmketeer I'll add you to facebook. Sounds good to me. PE me with your info!
I'd love to visit with you and exchange pics of family.:thumbsup2

[newjerseymomma]

I am going to go to pirate museum and maybe cable beach, if not just relax by the pool and take my entourage on the aqua duck so happy they lowered the height so I don't have to sneak my boys on and leave daughter to the mickey slide

[Phototech11]

:cool1:Anyone else on the 4/28 looking to possibly split the price on a private Cabana on Castaway Cay? I think they are 500-600...so a 250-300 split sounds good. Our group is a total of 3...so we need another small group of 3-4.

I am not in a concierge room so we will have to attempt to book once on board.

Dizneycrazee, are you gonna PM all of us with the list for all the cabins and who's sailing? I know I am behind on buying stuff. Oh and how do we do this? Do we pick a cabin and just buy for them or do we buy stuff for everyone doing the FE? Sorry, I have never done this before. And I am starting to feel bad that I participating, cause I don't have kids. I hope I was asked to join cause' it was my birthday, but I am starting to think based on reaserch posts from other threads that this is just suppose to be for kids. HELP!

We, too, are not in a concierge, but would love to split a private family cabana. We are a family of three, with a 5 year old. Let me know, if you want to put a plan in place.

I have read on other threads that adult only rooms do participate. I think I am doing 1 bag of goodies per person 1 night. It's our first time too, don't want to put too much on my plate doing something small everynight. I just am waiting for the room totals to get everything

[SDtink]

For the FE's I have stuff to give out all 3 days. I have stuff for kids as well as adults. That's just me though! I'm just having fun with it! I love to give and make people happy. All I look for in return is a happy smile! That makes my day! I'm ok with whatever everyone else does! Just go for it and have fun!:dance3:

Will there be a deadline to join the FE?

[Dizneycrazee]

Ok

Everyone wants to know how many they need to buy/make for regarding the fish extender. So we need to make a deadline folks, tommorrow seems good as it has been going on forever and a day.:guilty:

Just a couple of questions before I send out the list to everyone involved.

Unless you WANT to do more,(think it was SDtink who said she had enough for a little everyday) I will give a dedicated day to deliver your gifts. There are probably gonna be two people delivering each day as its not such a long cruise (:sad1:) No delivery on the last morning as your FE will be packed away in your cases.

Newjerseymomma - do you want to count your two cabins seperately or together ie you make two deliveries in return? Sd Tink has two cabins but has already said she is delivering quite a bit: thumbsup2

One last thing, which cropped up in a previous exchange I participated in- if anyone has allergies, or would be offended by anything in particular (alcohol gifts etc) please pm me with details.

Okey Dokey, I have the list ready, except for phototech11, who hasnt pm'd me as yet.

Not long now - eeeeek- :yay::yay::yay: 48days for me to fly!!

bren x

[Dizneycrazee]

One thing I forgot to mention.

I will include my mobile number on the list incase anyone gets upgraded at embarkation ( cabin number change) if you can text me with your new improved cabin number:laughing: than we can make sure you get your gifts still.

bren

[Mmketeer]

Oh thanks so much for taken this on Dizneycrazee and mentioning the allergies thing is a great idea. I would have never thought of that (coures' I am still tryong to figure what the heck to buy. LOL!)

I know it's a quick cruise, but we have Thursday (the day of embarkation) to give out gifts, which mean we need to get our FE's up as soon as we can get into our cabins right? Then Friday as well and lastly Saturday until 11pm. Right? Based on how many people are participating I might be able to do more than one day too. Maybe that's just because the kids seem to be so easy to pick up stuff for. I am still struggling with the adult gifts though when trying to keep it all Disney themed. And, is it one gift per person or per cabin? Sorry, first timer here doing this.

Oh and I agree let's make tomorrow (Friday, 3/4/11) the last day to sign up for the FE.

Sorry, no cabin number yet for me. I'll probably just post it live here when I do finally get though. I trust you guys, you won't over-the-hill my door, right? LOL!

[DizzylandDeb]

Sorry, no cabin number yet for me. I'll probably just post it live here when I do finally get though. I trust you guys, you won't over-the-hill my door, right? LOL!

:rotfl: Hum . .. that gives me an idea!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes1
:lmao: :littleangel:

[newjerseymomma]

Count us as two rooms since we are on different floors. Just an FYI- I have NO PROBLEM with alcohol! LOL!
Thanks again for putting this together! I like the idea of one dedicated day to give and if we want to do more we can.

[SDtink]

Cut off sounds good to me. By my list we have 16 adults and 10 kids total. I spent all day today making magnets for my cabin door and my grandkids door. They turned out pretty good. I just printed stuff off the internet and added my little touches. It took a lot of printer ink but I went bananas and had fun! :banana:

[Phototech11]

Wow, now that I see the estimate from SDtink, I think your right. Let's go with the designated day if it's okay with everyone else. Man, I had no clue our little thread had so many people on this sailing! LOL! Gosh, I was think maybe 7 kids and I wasn't even thinking about how many adults that would be on here. LOL! I guess you can tell this is my first time doing this FE thing. LOL!

[Mmketeer]

:rotfl: Hum . .. that gives me an idea!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes1
:lmao: :littleangel:

[COLOR="Magenta"]Oh man....me and my big mouth. Just be kind.....okay. I hope I won't be stepping over a giant "hill" of some sort to get to my door. Though DCL doesn't usually put me in the middle cabins, so at least I won;t have the entire ship making fun at me. I usually end up all the way in the back and this time I bet I'll be all the way in the front. LOL!

I think making the door decorations is the most pre-cruise fun! I posted a picture of my very first cruise door on my FB page. It's really grown since then and everyday I change it out based on the theme. Like for Thanksgiving I added a Turkey. And my Mickey head had a pirate hat for Pirate Night. I think I am gonna make new ears this time that have some glitter in them. It makes me feel so crafty to make these things, when I am so not! LOL! Have fun with your door decoration and thanks for the estimate on the FE people.

[newjerseymomma]

I need to find a way to make something for my door in my free time, LOL! I know it will make finding the room so much easier for the kids. 10 kids, I guess its not that bad, but 3 of them are mine ;) I might consolidate the adults into 1 adult gift to be shared for each room

The hardest part about making the door decorations in my opionion is getting the magentic paper or tape (whatever you want to use). It will definitly make it easier for your kids to find your door. Just go online find any Disney clip art you like (these Dis folks create some cool stuff too- just email them to have them send you their custom designs) and print it out. You can print it on magnetic paper or just buy the magnetic tape and stick it to the back. And the stuff you print you can laminate it if you want or not...I usually don't (saves time and money). These are great projects to get your kids involved with. For the Mickey ears, just use a thick felt or even that foamy paper will probably work. The pattern is on the Disboards somewhere. Oh and another cheap easy trick, go to Home Depot and pick up some of those Disney head silhoutte piant chips and cut them out and stick some magenetic tape to the back. Easy, fun and addicting! LOL!

[SDtink]

Now we should talk about getting together to meet each other. We need to help MMkeeteer's roll over the hill! Opps! Did I say that? LOL!:rotfl2:

[Mmketeer]

Oh brother! LOL! Okay, yeah SDtink I think that's a great idea. I honestly haven't even started learning the layout of the ship yet (I gotta get that darn FE thing finished first- maybe by tomorrow it'll be done and finishing buying stuff.) I don't know if we want to make it an adult thing or a family thing or both? I personally will probably be staying on board for Nassau and probably for CC too. So I am open to suggestions. It'll be all about the ship for me for this cruise.:)

[Mmketeer]

Hey I just saw on my bank statement that I got a seven dollar and some odd cent refund from DCL. Wahoo! Now, I have more money to put towards the FE gifts. ;)

[newjerseymomma]

I am game for meeting up, I will not be doing excursions in Nassau just pirate museum and maybe cable beach or boat. Castaway I will be on the beach, going to put kids in camp and we are wandering over to adult side for a bit too

[Dizneycrazee]

It would be nice to say hi to everyone in person. So I am up for whatever you decide. :)

On the disney european last year they met in cove cafe and there was another meeting in the promenade lounge. I know the dream is different though.

bren.x

[Mmketeer]

Wahoo I finally finished the FE thanks to hubby!

LOL! No kidding DizzylandDeb. The suspense is starting to stress me out. :( I am hoping by Monday I'll get assigned something. I don't think I can handle waiting until the 30 day mark. LOL!

For the meet and greet, I think everyone will be busy trying to get onboard before the mustard drill, getting their heads wrapped around the new ship, re-arranging dining assignments or making spa treatments etc. to get together that first day. Unless, we want to make it an after hours event later in the evening. Otherwise, my suggestion is to do it on our Nassau day. I know everyone will be busy on the day we are in Castaway (except me, I'll probably just stay onboard). So, what do ya'll think for what day to meet up?

[newjerseymomma]

I am game for whatever...we are stuck with late dinner so anything after that is prob good

[Phototech11]

I took the easy way out and purchased my FE on eBay! I figured by the time I bought all the supplies I would spend more than the $20 for the one I purchased on eBay. Have we come up with a final list of names? Was not sure if it changed from the last PM I received. Anyone looking for anything in particular from Disney...I am in Cali for a few weeks and will be visiting the Company D store while here. Think I might find some small items for the FE while here.

Nope, I think the list is final and the PM you got should be correct. :) Oh how I miss Company D! My favorite buy from there are hubby's hat's and the neon green Mickey head luggage tags that say, "Company D" that to this day I still have on my luggage- I have had these things for at least 10 years now. I use to also pick up writing pens and trinkets to give the CM's onboard the Disney ships as little thank you gifts. Because they usually have a unique Disney logo that they can't get onboard. I am a bit jealous, but have fun in Cali.!

HAHA! Were you bidding against me?! Just lost an auction for the one for my brother but won the one for me.

[SDtink]

Mmketeer you did a wonderful job on your FE! It will look great outside your door. Everyone don't forget to bring a couple of zip ties to secure your FE so it doesn't disappear! I bought another backpack today. Instead of rolling carry on bags we are using backpacks this time so we can have hands free for kid control!:thumbsup2

[Dizneycrazee]

Hi everyone, just come back from a weekend in ireland and managed to pick up one or two little things from "home" for the fish extender....so everyone will have a bit of the emerald isle in their FE's. Im so glad to have made a start at last:thumbsup2

LOVE your FE MM, you couldve taken orders. Ive caved and bought a one from ebay too, but I am going to personalise it:cool1:

Time is flying fast now, even got the hubby to pull the cases down from the loft eventually!!!

:cool2: My wife is getting Lasik eye op next week...she is so looking forward to not having to worry about removing contacts and going in the ocean! Anyone else have Lasik done on their eyes? How long is the recovery?

:rolleyes1: Also keeping this cruise a secret from my daughter is driving me crazy...especially when ever a DCL commercial comes on TV...she begs me to go!!!

Last time I was there they even had a set of Disney luggage. They have tons of trinkets and other small items. Heck the even have a furniture sections...old TV's and mini fridges. LOL...My daughter wanted to get the Mickey Ears TV stand...I told her thats a little over the top for a CM. I am going to purchase a 9" VinylMation to have the Characters sign on the Dream.

I hear ya about the secret! It could be a great bargining tool but I would rather see their faces. My 2 boys have been collecting spare change for years to save up for this trip. I keep telling them they need to save more at this rate it is going to take 10 years!

No I was bidding on someone who only had 2 and they were listed as hanging organizers.

Last time I was there they even had a set of Disney luggage. They have tons of trinkets and other small items. Heck the even have a furniture sections...old TV's and mini fridges. LOL...My daughter wanted to get the Mickey Ears TV stand...I told her thats a little over the top for a CM. I am going to purchase a 9" VinylMation to have the Characters sign on the Dream. Thought that might look better than a pillow case or t shirt.:upsidedow

Really? Dang Company D has really expanded. Use to they just offered that kind of stuff at Property Control- which had alot of great big ticket items. I think the Vinylmation is a great idea! Have fun in Cali!

Well, I got my cabin number and I did not luck out and get cabin numbers: 8008, 8506, 7008, 7506, 6008 or 6506 normal cabins. Oh no, I got a freakin handicapped cabin with a tiny window on the very back of the ship. I am gonna call them tomorrow, but with the ship being sold out I am sure I am pretty much probably stuck with this. Happy Birthday to me...thanks DCL.

Unfortunatly not from what I read on the stateroom reviews. Man, all I wanted was a "normal" cabin. I paid just like a normal guest when I rebooked this last November onboard, so it's kinda dissapointing. Hubby is gonna call them when he gets back from Arizonia (hopefully tonight). I hope he can get them to do something even if I have to pay for it. I could really use some Pixie Dust, so cross your fingers.

[Mmketeer]

I love the Disboards. I read the one review for the disabled cabin I was given on deck 6. It was a horrible review. And theirs no balcony, small port hole and the worst thing- no split bath. I hate being one of those people that complain to get what they want, but I personally think this cabin would ruin my birthday cruise. I have been married for 19 years to my husband and though I love him I am tired of sharing a bathroom with him and for me, not having to do that is the best stateroom benefit that DCL has. So, I called the cruiseline and told them I paid just like everyone else and I am not sailing in a disabled cabin. I am not disabled and I want the spilt bath that I paid for with the cat. 9a oceanview. Well, the agent was a bit confused because she had never dealt with a situation like mine, spoke with her supervisor and again said their was nothing she could do the ship was sold out. Now, I know that's not the case cause' I had spoke with a CM during my last cruise about just this situation as I was afraid of something like this happening and they said, you rebooked onboard, you're paying the full current rate for what they offered you, so you don't have to take that cabin. So, I had the agent transfer me to a supervisor. Told him the same story and he said their wasn't anything available in that category. So, I said to him I am a Gold member, sailed 8 times before, got you two more cabins to sail on your new ship and you're gonna ruin my birthday. I can't believe this is how you treat your repeat cruisers. So he put me on hold and and came back to me with a great compromise. I had to pay a little more, but it was soooo worth it! I am now in a cat. 5a balcony on deck 9! Whew, I am once again excited about my Dream cruise. Disney has renewed my faith in them.

Now in cabin 9520, with a balcony! Wahoo! :banana:

Nice...now you are up closer to me...10014

[SDtink]

So glad you got things worked out Mmkeeter for your cabin. I was thinking we were ALL gonna have to call on your behalf. That would have been ugly for them! :yay:

[SDtink]

PhototechII tell your wife good luck with the surgery. I have been thinking about it for some time and I'm interested in how it goes for her. :thumbsup2

[Mmketeer]

[COLOR="Magenta"]Thank you SDTink, PhotoTech and DizzylandDeb. Your positive energy and kind words really mean alot. I am glad to see I would have had ya'll on my side. I am just so thankful it didn't come to that. :)

Oh man, it looks like I threw us all of topic again. Sorry. :( So, back to the get together now that my mellow dramma is over with. LOL! Does everyone on here have early seating that wants to meet up?

[Mmketeer]

Nice...now you are up closer to me...10014
Cool. :) I wonder how many other folks on our decks will be decorating their doors and or having FE extenders? I keep reading that folks aren't seeing that many on the Dream. I think that is very sad. I always loved looking at other folk's doors. Shoot I'd even go out of my way and stroll down a different corridor during my cruise just to see them. :)
Looking forward to see everybody on our threads door decorations.

[newjerseymomma]

We have late seating, on wait list for early...hopefully we will get it! There is someone on cruise critic looking to start FE for our sailing.

Congrats on the room!:cheer2:

[Mmketeer]

Thanks NewJerseyMom. ;)
Okay, so it looks like we have at least one person in our group with late seating. The last time we cruised we had that. My suggeston NewJerseyMom if you have to get it changed on board is to get to the location where the Matre D Will be to do dining re-assignments WAY before the adverstised time, cause we went there in November just to find out if our favorite server was onboard 20 min. prior to the time they were suposse to start and their was already a nice size line. I can only imagine what a nightmare it will be on the Dream.

So, I am thinking we should probably plan then for a meet-up at say 10:30 or 11pm? NewJerseryMom should be out of the late dinner seating and if we want to plan it for Pirates Night I think it will be wrapped up by then too. Anyone want to verify that? Or we could do it the first night about that time in say the Sky Bar? Any thoughts?

[DizzylandDeb]

We have late dinner seating too. I will drag my friend along with me (she is a DIS member, but doesn't post on a regular basis). You folks name the time and place . . .we'll make it work :thumbsup2

[Phototech11]

My DD10 broke her right wrist today riding her scooter.:sick: DW took her to the Dr this morning and he did the x-ray. Sure enough it is broke. He recommend Orthopedic Dr for further examination. Not sure if cast will take care of it or if she made need pins. Wow...too close for comfort. We are 5-6 weeks aways from cruise.:confused3 Hope she just gets the cast and can get it removed before the cruise. :worship: Still trying to surprise her but this may make it a little more difficult.:confused:

I hope this is all the excitement we get before we are on the cruise!!!:surfweb:

If anyone knows smmc on the dis boards please tell her to PM me...I have been trying to get a hold of her....Thanks.

Hi all - just joining in over here... DH, DD (3YO) and myself are making our DCL debut on the Dream 4/28. We have late seating as well, and reservations at Paolo on the Castaway day. Are any of your kids taking costumes on board? We are also ending the trip with DD's 3rd trip to WDW. Just can't get enough!

I've tried to catch up on posts, will take me a minute, but I wanted to say a big Texas HELLO to everyone!

[meemousemom]

PS - is it too late to join Fish Extenders? I tried to PM disneycrazee but I haven't posted enough... DOH!

Welcome mmemousemom, I'll add you to the first page of this thread of who is going. I am afraid we already made the cut off for the date for the FE begining of March. Unless someone has extra's they can give out??? I know I bought just enough. But, you're welcome to join us for any meet up's. Oh and feel free to pick on brains about the cruise experince with Disney. Most of us here have been there and done that (just not on this new ship yet). :)

[Mmketeer]

35 more days!!!!!!!! Wahoo!

[meemousemom]

Bummer! Maybe next time (crossing fingers for a next time LOL). If there are any meet up's please do keep us in the loop. I did my best going through the 15 pages of posts, but I'm pretty sure some information got lost in the ol' brain.

We look forward to seeing the beautiful new ship! :yay:

[SDtink]

Welcome meemousemom.:cheer2: I made a princess dress for my 4yr. old granddaughter to wear to one of our dinners. I also made pirate costumes for her and her brother. The rest of us have odds and ends for pirate night- bandannas, eye patches, earrings, etc. On another subject we have early dinner seating. I'm up for what ever everyone decides.:grouphug:

[newjerseymomma]

My daughter will be wearing her princess costumes every night and all the boys have pirate costumes for pirate night. I think I am the only adult in family group who will be going semi pirate as well.

[DizzylandDeb]

HERE (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2651600) is a link to a recent 3 night Navigator. It shows Friday night as Pirate Night.

We have Remy reservations for Friday evening . . .I don't want to rush through that (expensive) dinner, but I hope we don't miss the party / fireworks! pirate:

[Mmketeer]

Meemousemom, don't worry you haven't missed anything as we still haven't made any definite plans for a meet up. LOL!

For Pirate night, well humm...it use to be a HUGE event on Disney. They use to give out pirate bandanas and even had a special keepsake menu at dinner. But, on on my 4 night Thanksgiving cruise they didn't do any of that. They did still have the fireworks and a awesome pirate party with Mickey (who came flying over head on a zip line from a funnel), but I haven't heard on the boards here that it was that big of a deal on this ship. I am hoping even though Mickey won't be flying over head that the party is still alot of fun. I know they will still have the fireworks as that's a Disney exculsive. But, since this is all of ours first Dream cruise who really knows. If it really blows I figure I'll be at the bar sooner than later to have my own pirate party. LOL! If you PM your email address (after you've posted enough) I'll be happy to send you a picture of hubby and I taken at dinner right before the pirate party on the Wonder. I have a pirate T-shirt I usually wear, along with a pirate themed hair scrunchy and hubby wears my peice of eight.

Dizzyland Deb., I wish I had the money to do that and another night so as not to miss the three main restaurants. So, you going is definitly the next best thing for me! I definitly want to hear all about that experince while we are onboard or after we get back if we don't get to hook up. Congrats on getting that reservation! :)

:cutie: We booked this cruise while on board the Magic last October, so we are using our OBC to keep the cost down. Otherwise, I wouldn't be spending THAT much $ on a dinner. It's probably my one and only shot, because heaven knows I won't be getting my DH to do something like this when we sail on the Fantasy :rotfl: Edited to add: I did once spend a lot of $ to dine at Club 33 at DL, but again, DH wasn't with us . . .he's just not into "fine dining" :sad2:

LOL! Excellent I booked this cruise onboard the Wonder in November. I could have used my OBC for that, but then I'd be missing out on dining in the three main reatsurants. I thought about getting the Dooney and Burke pures with it, but then I saw a thread on here about them falling apart. So, I guess I'll be doing a lot shopping instead. No clue yet what I'll be spending it on. :) In anycase I am glad you are going for it and I can't wait to hear all about it. :)

Yea! I can't wait to dance with you. Ours didn't come yet. Everything in the midwest is slow. I made the mickey heads for the ends. Bought styrofoam balls and painted them black. Bought black craft foam and cut out ears. Made slits in the top where I wanted the ears to go and glued them on. Then just pushed the dowel hanger stick into them. Super easy! My next one has a pirate theme.pirate:
