Fantasy 12/3/16 Christmas season with the Mouse!!

[professorandmom]

Hi. My name is Jennifer(49) & I'll be cruising solo on this trip. I'm in Stateroom #8583. I'd like to participate in all the regular fish extender groups--just not interested in the girl/boy group ones. I've cruised Disney many times before & always have a great time! Thanks!!

I added you to the Storm Trooper Group....

 

[diznymom]

Just checking in. We get to start booking things on Friday. (We already sent our request list to shoreside concierge. They will book on Friday.)

 

[professorandmom]

Oh, YES!!! It is finally August!!!
SO, let's get down to the final steps in FE.

Here is out list of folks who have gone missing

Storm Troopers:

prpleyedgirl87 - last log in 3/6
Spunky1968 - last log in 2/15
Veronica9 - last log in 2/17


Christmas Cruisers:
Mouse Mate - no posts in our thread since 8/15/15
Sause309 - last post 2/2
missyk203 - last log in 12/20


Let's see if this message can get their attention or we'll have some simpler FE lists...

Wanna pop in the thread and say hello? Please do! I am hoping to hear from everyone over the next few weeks so we KNOW who is participating in FE!

I've been stitching up a storm and having a great time in preparation!

Let's aim for a 9/1 finalization of who is going...with the last day for paid in full as the cutoff...9/19

See you real soon!!!

(Note: as I hear from folks, I am editing this list to keep it up to date)

Just popping in to say Hi!!! Sooooooooo close to hitting PIF! I am so tired of entering gift card numbers, but it is worth it for a couple hundred in savings, right?
......
I think we are going to back out of this FE.....16 is just too large for us. :-(

Great to hear from you...no worries, I am very confident that both FE groups will be a manageable size!!! I am thinking 10 cabins - which I think is very reasonable! I don't see any hope that folks that haven't even been on the DIS boards in months are going to appear...
That said, the call is yours, let me know if you want to be removed from the FE list...

We look forward to meeting all of you this December!

I should have also mentioned that we are not interested in participating in the FE but just wanted to say Hi to all of the people we will be traveling with this December on the Fantasy and were hoping to share in the excitement of the count down to our cruise with others

Hey! Thanks for saying hello...one thing for SURE - your sons will find many other boys on this thread...this cruise is boy-central...
I'll add you to the roll call

I sailed twice before a Christmas cruise and, to me, the experience is even more magical!
Enjoy planning!

 

[Disneyelf10]

Popping in to say to...I haven't forgotten the 20 question list....things have been hectic with it being summertime.
PIF and waiting to book something!!

Thank You! I have participated in discussion boards for my past cruises but I haven't heard of roll call before, what does that mean?

Roll call is just a list of DIS folks on our cruise. Before FE was invented, it was the only list we posted...helped folks connect with other cruisers to facilitate Palo trips and kids' connections...here is the one for our cruise http://www.disboards.com/threads/fa...n-with-the-mouse.3436114/page-2#post-54725342 Unfortunately, it's tough to keep accurate since folks have decided not to cruise but didn't post a goodbye...so I haven't removed anyone from the roll call...

 

[professorandmom]

PLEASE, my quiet DIS board FE-signed up friends, if you decide not to cruise (and let your paid in full date slide by), PLEASE return to the boards to let us know so we can remove your name from the FE lists...thanks!!

Hey everyone just checking in I know our fearless leader wanted us to do a check-in this month just to make sure we were still going to participate in the fish extenders. My family is absolutely still a go and were happy to remain in both fish extender groups to share more pixie dust! Can't wait almost at the 90 day count down point!!!!

 

[flynthruclouds]

I think it's time to do roll call and start sending requesting information out to people. I might recommend doing an excel spread sheet as we get them that way everyone has something tangible they can print before leaving home that also clearly indicates what deck number they are on.

Fantastic! Great to hear from you...I'll take the ?? off of your name in the FE list...so glad you were able to track the FE lists!...can't wait to sail!

So, links to google docs are not permitted and some folks can't get private messages...so I don't know how to post an excel spread sheet. Perhaps you can help me and then I am happy to post an excel spread sheet for each FE!!! Let me know!!!

I was wondering if anyone has heard about what kinds of movies we might have while on the cruise ? Has anyone been on this cruise before?

Moana is being released Nov 23 so that may be playing in the Walt Theater on non-show days
