YEAH!! So excited! It will be our 1st DCL. It will be me, Nana (my mom) and my then 4 yo son. I'll be celebrating my 40th on the boat I've been getting excited through following a fish extender's "group" and seeing/learning new things about DCL. Have you been on a Disney cruise before? Been on the Dream? Done an FE?

Less than a year to go

Hi Stephanie

Yes I have been on the Dream, This will be our forth cruise. The frist was on the Disney Wonder and the third on the Disney Dream. We have done the fish extender on our last cruise. And we were very suprised at the things that were give to us from fellow extenders. I am looking forward to doing one again. If we can be of any help to you in your planning please feel free to ask. We will be on this cruise witrh three granddaughters they are very excited to be going. Looking forward to helping you if we can.

so is this the thread where they would set up FEs or is that somewhere else?

How old are your GDs? I'm not sure being it is just a 3 night cruise that I will want my son to be at the "kids' club" all day. I know he'd have a BLAST but I'd love to be able to spend the time with him. If he only went a couple of hours, I bet I'd never get him out of there AHAHA. Do you know how they work? Any MUST do's on the 3 nighters? We will just do regular dining stuff, no special ressies. Do you have pics from your trips on the Dream?

Hi Stephanie,
This is, I guess, Kenzie's Grandpa. Even though Kenzie will not be joining us on this trip. The granddaughters we will be taking are going to be 9, 9 and 8 at the time of the trip. They moved the e-mail string here so it is easier for people cruising with us to find. The FishExtender is something that people on the cruise organize. (It was a lot of fun. We finally did one on our last crusie.) Along with any meeting for our goup that anyone may want to attend. Just a nice way to put a face with the people you may have met on here and make friends. A 3 night is busy but just enough to get a tast of everything. Just as you are getting into it it is over. I hear ya on the kids clubs. The will get a wrist band that they have to keep on and you will have to set a password to get them out. Our Grandchildren had a blast. That is all they wanted to do. The days were busy, evenings we had them go to dinner with us and the show and then they went at night from 8 or 9 until it closed at 12ish. Must dos.........have fun. There is a lot of meet and greets, differnt shows every night.We don't get off the ship except for Castaway Cay. They had a blast riding the Aquaduck. We took their bathing suits in a carryon so after they had lunch they could change and ride it without much wait. We have tons of photos that I can send. I can't wait until we get all the grandkids done with their cruises so we can book one for just us adults and enjoy the clubs and adult areas of the ship.

I officially booked today. Facing some issues at work, so hopefully my family and I will make it! This will be our second DCL cruise. My daughter was cranky and my husband had a toothache the first time, so mama needs a DO OVER!

 

[Kenzie'sGrandma]

Hi Leslie,
Welcome. Hope all works out at work and you are able to go!

Hi Leslie,
I missed your posting originally and saw Barb's reply in my email today! Welcome...so excited I CAN'T WAIT! Hope you have no problems making the boat!

Booked our first Disney cruise about a month ago. I absolutely can not wait! We are cruising for my daughter's 3rd birthday. Any advice/tips for cruising with toddlers are welcomed.

I've been reading up on this FE thing. I am interested if anyone has any info for our cruise yet.

 

[pequele]

Hi! Excited to see more people! Yup I definitely would like to do the FEs too. Already gathering supplies to get to work. Of course if we have more than I plan for, I'm in trouble! Do the prior cruisers know when the groups typically get "cut off" to join? I mean could it be 10 cabins a month before we leave then all of a sudden the week before be 30?

 

[Kenzie'sGrandma]

Hi and welcome! Glad to see more people on our board. We don't have a FE group started yet but I am in if there is interest. I will answer any questions that I can. They normally cut off the sign up for it 3 or 4 weeks prior. DH and myself are coming up with ideas and already having the little ones making the actual FE and some of the gifts.

[crichardson11]

Welcome you two. It's so exciting to see more people joining. Sounds like there is definitely enough interest to start an FE group. I better put my creative hat on (or call my mom for some help, Lol)!

 

[Kenzie'sGrandma]

Hi All and welcome! I will see if hubby wants to put together the Fish Extender, unless someone else wants to take charge. I am so excited, I am already busy makeing our gifts. I will have him post when he gets home from work this evening.
