Disney Fantasy- January 14, 2017- 7 nt Eastern Caribbean

[Jacquif02]

One more update, folks! Thanks to moderator AquaDame, I got confirmation of how I can communicate with all of you without getting kicked off the DIS Using email is okay, so please feel free to email me directly at kathleenmariekelly at gmail dot com if you are new to the DIS and want to give me info on your cabin (or even if you just want to say hi). I would highly recommend that any newbies to the DIS make a few posts so that they can use the PM feature. Don't quote me on this, but I think it's maybe 8-10 posts/comments total, which isn't much.

Totally unrelated, would anyone be interested in naming our cruise sailing for our

We are very grateful that our trip is in January instead of now. I would have hated our cruise getting cut short by a day due to a hurricane.

Good afternoon everyone! This is our second Disney cruise and we are incredibly excited. We would love to be on a Fish Extender list if it's not too late.

Just checking in again! Fish Extenders are still open, so all recent posters-- you've been added! I am not planning on closing Extenders until late Nov/early Dec, so everyone has at last a month to prepare. I am sitting with my spreadsheets this morning, so things are finally rolling.

Just to get some conversations going, who is your favorite Disney character, and why?

 

[Ptarmigan6]

I'd love to join in the fun as well please. This will be our first Disney Cruise- can't wait! My family will have 2 state rooms w/ grandma, my husband, me, 10yo daughter & 7yo son.

Thank you for organizing, Ptarmigan.

bean4422, do you plan on hanging one extender or two since you have two staterooms?

 

[Ptarmigan6]

Hi there! Our family of three plus two cabins with grandparents and a nephew will be on that ship! Although we have been on one past Disney Cruise (Wonder), we are looking forward to the FE participation on the Fantasy.

Hi IleanKL, can you update me with how many extenders you plan on hanging? From your post, I can't tell if you want to participate as 1 cabin or 3... Thanks much! Also, can you give me a headcount just so I can update my list?

 

[Ptarmigan6]

Hi! Wanting to join in the conversation as well. We'll be sailing, with our three kids (3,5,7), grandparents and maybe more. Really excited for the adventure. Would like to be part of the fish extender group as well.

Thank you for organizing, Ptarmigan.

Ms.Possum, can you provide me any update with how many cabins will be participating in Fish Extenders? Just trying to update my lists. Feel free to email me directly at kathleenmariekelly at gmail dot com if that's easier for you.

 

[Ptarmigan6]

Thank you for the info about which night is which. It is our first cruise so we don't get to book anything for another month and a bit

Hi L005!
I can't PM you yet because you haven't met the posting requirement yet. Feel free to email me directly at kathleenmariekelly at gmail dot com with any cabin details (kid age/genders, allergies). If you do post more (10 I believe total), you should be able to send and receive private messages.

Thanks!
Kathleen

Hi
We are a family of 4 and were on the dream last year. Our groups were of 15 and really nice sized. We had a blast and are looking forward for the fantasy and a star wars cruise.

Hi Waltdizknee! Since you haven't met the posting requirements for PM, I can't directly contact you-- so sorry about this reply. If you have any additional cabin info (age/gender of kids, allergies), please feel free to reply or email me directly at kathleenmariekelly at gmail dot com. Hoping to get lists together soon! Thanks!

 

[Ptarmigan6]

My family of 3 will also be on this cruise. Our DD will 9 the day before we depart I sent a link to the wife to see if she would like to fish extender, she seemed to enjoy on our first Disney Cruise last year.

Hi xCDOGx!
I am unable to send you private messages because you haven't reached the posting limit (10 I think). Could you confirm whether you want to participate in fish extenders? If so, can you reply with cabin detail?

Many thanks!
Kathleen

 

[Ptarmigan6]

We'd love to be included! This is our 2nd cruise and we are looking forward to a longer stint then when we took the Dream (and escaping the utter chaos of the Presidential Inauguration that week). We have two kiddos - they will be 9 and 5 when we go and are already counting down the days - it's going to be a LONG year!

Hi lapetitekate!

Thanks for all your info regarding fish extenders! Since I can't PM yet, I need to post here. Will you be hanging two extenders (one for each cabin) or just one for your whole cruising party? Thanks!

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!

Hi all,
I have gone through all the folks who have expressed interest in the FE program for our cruise. If you haven't heard from me via PM or via a reply on this thread, then I already have what info I need to put you in a group. PLEASE check your inbox and recent postings in this thread, especially if you have fewer than 10 postings (look for this number below your avatar on the left). Also, if you haven't done so yet, please either PM me or reply to this thread with your cabin number. I know I haven't asked specifically for it yet, but it will make things much easier on my end. My goal is to have the fish extender program completely closed with all final info distributed by December 1 via this thread.

According to my list, I have reached out to the following people for additional info (beside cabin number) via thread/PM:
IleanaKL
mvlimmex
RockChalkJayhawk
xCDOGx
waltdizknee
amwhitaker/doubleaboyd
Ms.Possum
bean4422
L005
lapetitekate

If you DO NOT see your name listed, then aside from cabin number, I've got what I need! Thank you! I'll begin assigning groups now! Thanks for your patience, as I'm trying my best to operate this FE within DIS policy.

I will send you an e-mail and hopefully be able to PM you soon!

 

[Ptarmigan6]

Many thanks to everyone who has contacted me recently! I really appreciate it! You know when you have dreams about spreadsheets that you have FE overload For anyone who hasn't provided their cabin number, please do so at your earliest convenience.

Now that we're getting closer, if you haven't done so yet, I suggest either following this thread, or subscribing so you don't miss out on anything. I'm sure conversations will ramp up as we get closer to our sailing!

 

[IleanaKL]

Hi IleanKL, can you update me with how many extenders you plan on hanging? From your post, I can't tell if you want to participate as 1 cabin or 3... Thanks much! Also, can you give me a headcount just so I can update my list?

I just emailed you from my work. I've been off the DIS board most of the year. We have 3 cabins but only 1 child, so I figured it would be 1 FE/ pocket for my dsughter

We are sailing with our daughter (5, turning 6 during the cruise) along with 3 grandparents and a 17 yr old nephew. So the mix is tough for the excursions! We were considering the Coral World Ocean Park on St. Thomas, but we have no idea of what to do on Tortola

[IleanaKL]

I need ideas! We are traveling in 3 cabins, 2 connecting and one across the hall, with my parents (cabin 1), us (my husband, myself and our 5 yr old (cabin 2), and husbands father and nephew (17) (cabin 3). Our daughter turns 6 on the last day at sea (19th), and I want to make it special, but aside from the onboard activity extras, I need ideas from people who have celebrated birthdays on DCL, since we haven't!

All ideas are welcome and appreciated!

We are looking at the long bay beach day, but it's pricey. Even at that price it's not all inclusive (drinks not included), so different than the western itinerary where plenty of all inclusive options in Cozumel and Jamaica, but long bay looks gorgeous!
