December 1, 2012 - Fantasy Eastern to San Juan!!!

[Inkmahm]

Hi, I am tentatively joining this, though I am not sure what I have to do to participate, or if I even have to at all...

This is my first Disney cruise - it's me, my partner, and our two girls, 3 and 23 months. I am excited but very anxious.

Welcome! Why are you anxious? Is this your first cruise? If so, you picked a great cruiseline to start with! Your girls will love it.

7 weeks to go and we would really like a stateroom assignment.

I could understand that. Hope you get it soon.

Here is a picture of our ship the Fantasy leaving port yesterday. Soon it will be us.​

Hello my fellow Fantasy Cruisers! As of March 19, 2012

Below is the list of people that are participating in the Fish Extender exchange so far.

If you sent me and e mail or PM and do not see your name please re send. I do not have it, sorry.

Also, everyone has two adults in the room except were I have it listed.
The ones that have ** in front of them have one adult in the room. The ones that have *** have 3 adults in the room and the ones that have **** have 4 adults in a room.

So far there are 12 cabins.
Please keep in mind the cut off to participate in the Fish Extender exchange is October 16, 2012. This way it gives everyone time to get there items.
If any one would like a list with room numbers and such before Dec 1st send me an e mail (girlwolf@excite.com) or PM me your e mail address and after the cut off I will send you the spreadsheet.

We really want to do the fish extender. I am on the road on a family trip so will have to look up my cabin. Tried to pm, but it will not let me as I don't have enough posts yet. Hopefully whoever is coordinating will see this and hook me up. You can email me at mike at geocoinclub dot com also. We are getting excited for the cruise, would love to get an invite to the fb group too!

Welcome to the cruise! Got your e mail and will send you the link.

See you soon

It is not totally official yet. Just emailed DU to make the change but we will be joining you all.

We are super excited

We were originally booked for September 29,2013 but our cruise has been chartered. We all assume that is for a DVC member cruise. Nothing official has come from Disney yet. We discovered that our cruise "disappeared" when someone from our cruise meet thread had a family member try to book the cruise last weekend. We have all been making calls to try to figure out what was going on. Disney should be contacting everyone but in the mean time I started doing research. When I talked to my DH about this cruise I was surprised by his response. Then the next miracle he is actually able to get leave that week. We were disappointed because we chose that date for a specific reasons but turns out to be a blessing. We are going on a 7 night on the FANTASY instead of a 4 night on the Dream and we don't have to wait a year. But the challenge is we have less than 7 weeks to plan!!!!!!!!!!

Before I made the decision about the cruise I checked this thread because we REALLY wanted to do a FE again. We have already been working on our gifts for the September 2013 cruise. I was happy to see that we could still join a FE group. Once I get the official word then I will send our info for the FE.

Oh, speaking of info, going on cruise- DH, DD (14), DS (10) and yours truly. I created a facebook account and ask to join group.

I am going to try to find the time to read back through some of this thread and hopefully get caught up on everything. Oh, so much planning, so little time.

I am trying not to get too excited until we have paid and know it is official. BUT...ixiedust:

Glad you could join us maybe. Sending pixie dust.

The I of on the info needed is on Page 17 for the FE also who to contact to join the Facebook page. When you decide just send me an e mail. Only difference I am asking for your e mail up front in the Pm or e mail you send me. There will only be 2 week till the cruise when it closed on November 15th.

Thank you for putting this all together.

We were so excited about doing a FE again that we already started working on gifts for our original cruise date in September 2013! Good thing now that we have only a month and a half!!!

I have enjoyed the thread on homemade FE so much that we are making a variety. So not everyone getting the same thing. Making a dozen of this, 20 of that, so on.

I have some gifts that are a little specific so if anyone on list is a silver, gold or platinum castaway member, please let me know. Also if you have an iPhone. You can post, pm or let me know on FB. Thanks.

I also enjoy the thread on making FE with duct tape. I made this one with a 40th anniversary shopping bag and gold duct tape.

Still need to add a dowel rod to top

Thank You! I posted pics from my iphone and did not realize how big they were until just now.

Yay! I got what I needed to make my special gift for Platinum too now. So if you are on second FE list let me know which level you are so I can make yours for Silver, Gold or Platinum

Thanks

Hi everyone! We just booked today! (We are becoming fans of last-minute bookings!) I'd love to join the facebook group.

We are: me, my DH and our son, who will turn 3 two weeks before the cruise.

Also, are we too late for the FE exchange? Our last cruise we booked only 2 weeks out so we missed it, but we would really like to participate this time if we could. We won't know our room number until 2 weeks out - we booked an IGT rate.

I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!
