Cherylabq (1 adult, 2 young adults). This will be mine and my daughter's 3rd Disney cruise and my son's very first cruise. This is our first trip to Europe and we are clueless. We have been talking about flying in to Paris to go to Disneyland Paris and see the sights. Then will head to London for a few days. I appreciate the hotel tips!

Welcome! You will all enjoy this so much! This is our 4th Disney Cruise in Europe, so feel free to ask any questions. We are flying in to Paris for a few days and taking the train to London for a few as as well. FYI the train to London is available to book. We just booked last weekend, and were able to grab cheapest tier pricing. Our tip for accomodations is to rent an apartment. It has proven to be so much cheaper for a family of four than a hotel. (Except on Copenhagen!). We have used Home Away, and we are using them in Paris and London on this trip. We are also spending a day at Disneyland Paris, which is a surprise for our kids.
Wishing you fun planning and an awesome vacation!

Unfortunately, posts have once again 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, etc.).
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.
For those posting in this Cruise Meet thread to join a FE, if no one comes forward to organize a FE for this cruise, anyone can organize the FE right in this thread.

Enjoy!
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Would love to be added to the roll call also! Scheduled this cruise the day it was released and I finally feel like we are heading into the final stretch. Cruising will be myself (Sharon), DH (James), and DD 10 (Sammy).
This is our third Disney cruise. Our last was the Mediterranean cruise that departed from Venice and we had a great time.
DD (10) is an only child and loves making new friends before and during the cruise so if anyone else has a daughter around the same age who wants a buddy let me know.

Dana,
I am not organizing a FE...this is only our second DCL cruise and I don't feel like I am familiar enough with it to take it on. Please feel free, or anybody else, to start one!

SETTING UP A FE GROUP
It appears there are a number of you who are interested in a Fish Extender group. There isn't one currently set up here on DISboards. Here's a little write up on how FE groups are set up:
There really are no "rules" as to how a FE program runs. Basically someone maintains the list of those who wish to participate. The group can decide on what information is necessary to produce FE gifts. A basic list may only have DISname/room number/number of people in the room. A more involved list could be first & last names/ages/room number/favorite character/favorite color/allergies/whatever is deemed necessary to know in order to create the gifts. Also a decision can be made as to size of FE. Some groups break out the list(s) at 10-15 rooms max, so that there are multiple lists (and some people will participate in more than one list). Other groups just make one big list (upwards of 20-30 rooms).
At some point the list will "close". Typically this happens 30-45 days out from the cruise, so that everyone participating has time to organize/prepare their gifts. Shortly before this time (about 2-3 weeks prior) the organizer will either post the list (usually via a conversation is best, as that's more private), or directly on the Cruise Meet thread, to confirm everyone on it is still participating. It’s important to make a statement about"anyone not confirming by XX date will be dropped"at this time. A little harsh, yes, but often there are people who will post on the cruise meet thread as soon as the reserve the cruise and say “I want to participate”, and are never heard from again.
Once the list closes, the organizer will post the final list. Also, a decision must be made as to whether to allow late additions. Sometimes there is a "pixie dust" list. That is, basically, a latecomers list that gets posted about a week out from the cruise that others may or may not add to their "final" list. Be sure the "pixie dust" list participants realize they may or may not get gifts from others, but are expected to provide gifts for the other FE participants anyway.
The other "biggie" is no other social media sites are allowed to be linked or search directions posted as to how find that other site here on DISboards. Please read this: http://www.disboards.com/threads/im...uise-meet-and-fish-extender-programs.3353477/
As it seems there are a few here on your cruise meet thread who would be interested in doing this, who’s going to step up and volunteer to maintain the list?
I will also note, to participate in conversations, everyone needs to have at least 10 posts. For those who wish to use this option for private conversations and don't have 10 posts yet, head over to the Test board to post and up your post count. http://www.disboards.com/forums/test-board.88/
Up to 20 people can participate in any given conversation.

Hi! And Welcome!
Edit: sadly, this isn't a very active meet thread. I'm not sure why.

FE group, let's do this! I will take on keeping the list for a FE. I will keep this very simple. Please post staeroom number, names of all in your party, kid's ages and any food allergies. My family posting looks like this:
Room 2110 Marni, Bill, Owen (just shy of 13), Spencer (girl) 6. No food allergies
Yay! This will be fun!
