[ohmgirl]

Hello!
The title cruise will be our third sailing. We are really excited to be able to celebrate Christmas on a Disney Cruise

Will anyone else be setting sail on the Magic December 23, 2015 (itinerary E)?

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list
Have a great cruise!

 

[Madame]

Hi! It's early but we will also be on this cruise.

 

[laurantom]

We'll be there too, it's our first ever cruise and are very excited! Would love to hear any advice anyone has for us.

 

[finishline413]

Our family will be on this cruise as well. This will be our second Christmas cruise! We are traveling with family and friends. We can start the Fish Extender list here, if anyone is interested!

Posts have been removed from a number of Cruise Meets threads including this one.

PLEASE review the Cruise Meet Policy regarding Cruise Meet and Fish Extender programs. - http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3353477

Links to Cruise Meet discussion/Fish Extenders other than those on the DIS may not be posted or offered by any other means (PM, email, "search" directions).

Cruise Meet threads are doing just fine still managing meet and FE discussions right here on the DIS as they have since FE began (also here on the DIS).

FE organizers generally need to know how many people (adults/children) are participating in each cabin with child ages for age appropriate gift giving. Other information you would like to share such as names, allergies, favorite characters, etc. is up to you. Other personal information is not really necessary. Those organizing FEs typically ask for the information to be posted in the meet thread or sent to them via PM.

Enjoy!


Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

First, have FUN!!! Second, RELAX!

We have only cruised Disney. My friend, who is sailing Disney (for the first time) with us on this cruise, asked me a few questions today:
1) will the kids be able to charge anything back to the room? Answer: not unless you allow them to charge back to the room! You will be able to choose this option when you go through the online "paperwork."
2) do they have to pay for sodas? Answer: NO! There will be a beverage station on deck! Just like the Ice Cream Station, it is all you can eat/drink! I did suggest bringing a Disney Resort mug to fill up as the cups are a kids cup size.
I will try to find the list that my husband posted from one of our other cruises and that might be helpful!

Happy planning!

Thanks for the tips, they're really useful. I've been reading lots of other great tips on the forum boards too. I really love the fish extender idea and am definitely interested in joining a group.

 

[2 Point]

We are joining this cruise!

Been to WDW many times but this will be our first cruise.

Spending 2 weeks in WDW then St Augustine for a few days before driving down to Miami for the cruise.

Pretty excited!!!

Me, DW, DD(16) and DMIL.

We will be interested in the FE when it's up and running.

Cruise Meet threads are doing just fine still managing meet and FE discussions right here on the DIS where FE began years ago.

FE organizers generally need to know how many people (adults/children) are participating in each cabin. Other information you would like to share such as first names, ages of child participants, allergies, favorite characters, etc. is up to you. Other personal information is not really necessary. Those organizing FEs typically ask for the information to be posted in the meet thread or sent to them via PM.

For those posting in this Cruise Meet thread to join a FE, since no one has yet come forward to organize a FE for this cruise here on the DIS, please feel free to start the FE right in this thread.

There is certainly plenty of time to plan a FE for this cruise. All it takes is for someone to maintain a list of/for those participating which can easily be done in this thread. Cruise Meet threads have been doing it this way for years now here on the DIS.

Enjoy!

We will be on the cruise!! It will be our first Disney Cruise and we are looking forward to it. I have done some research and we are interested in doing the FE as well.

I would like to do the FE also. I think it looks like so much fun. How do we start the thread for this cruise.

Three of us will be going Lisa (ME) , Nelson (husband) and my 9 year old daughter Nicole. We are major Disney fans. We live in Florida and travel to Disney a lot First cruise and can't wait to spend Christmas with Mickey. I can manage the names and gruop. Just want to be clear how to do it Do we need to include room number so we know which FE are from our group. I know there are other FE out there.

I am not sure how to start the FE group thread. The webmaster stated that we just need one person to manage the group and keep track of the people in each cabin, etc. he stated that it is usually done via thread or PM to the group coordinator.

If you are unsure or just need to know what FE is then keep reading This may help you decide if this is something you would like to do. If you don't know what FE or Fish Extender is you can look at this link. http://www.wdwinfo.com/disney-cruise-line/fish-extender-basics.htm

Here are few things to keep in mind Some suggestions for participating in the FE I think it should be up to the person on what they would like to give. Many will just suggest that giving one gift per cabin or one per person is up to those involved and that there is no special day or time to distribute the gifts. Some people like to give several gifts during the cruise and others prefer to do it just once - that decision is usually up to each individual participant.

If you would like to participate in this FE for this sailing read below.

1. First you need to get 10 posts that way you can send me a conversation with your info so I can add it to the list. So if you you don't have 10 post you can go to the link in this sentence and just add a simple number to get to 10 posts. For those who are new with only a few posts, they will not be able to use the PM system until they reach 10 posts. You might suggest to them that they go to the DIS Technical Support/Test board where they can quickly and easily post some one word (or one letter) posts to get their count up to 10.
Once you have 10 posts, you will be able to send a PM (now called "Conversation"). There will be a link at the upper right on every page to your "Inbox" and you can click on any username and a link to "Start a conversation" will be available. In addition, you will then be able to upload images and have links in your signature.

2. Once you do that please send me a message with your cabin, names and ages and suggestions of things you like.

3. I think it would be good to stick to 10,15 or 20 cabins per list depending on how many people. As I get people I will create a list and add them to the thread so you can see. I will post a list for you to see. It looks like most threads close at about 60 days to give time for you to make and get the items for the gifts. If I get enough people I can do a last minute list if they are interested in doing an FE.

4. I think it would also be fun for us to meet. We can arrange something as it get closer.

5. If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know. I am so excited and can't wait to take this cruise. We are major Disney fans and travel to Orlando a lot. So I know I will love this experience.
Make sure to follow this thread to keep up with planning for this fun experience.
