[HeddyRuth]

Yes, you can get on at 12:00am Eastern time...So our booking window was Friday 6/14, and I got on Thursday night/Friday morning at 12:00am. Same goes for booking new cruises, I found out yesterday!

Did you book another cruise?

Did you book another cruise?

I was calling about adding the 3 night repo to the end of my Southern Caribbean in Oct 2014, and the CM told me thay I couldn't book until 6/18. I asked her if booking opened at 12:00am as it does for excursions and she said that it does....interesting....

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads on our cruise!

Yikes! I am sure you want the same room as well, so I am sure you will be up late that night

Yay!! Can't wait!

Got a new gas grill and grilled for the first time today. My late husband was the one who did all the grilling in the past. This was my first attempt. Only grilled burgers but they came out great.

 

[abitagirl916]

110 days until our cruise!!! In ten days, we will be under 100!!!!

 

[mrssmiddy]

110 days! Awesome! Although, now I'm feeling the crunch. Gotta get all my gift cards to finish paying for our staterooms, and make our final decisions on excursions to book at 90 days. I keep hearing Chacchoben Ruins are much better than the ones in Cozumel, but just worried the walking around there might be too difficult for my mom. Anyone have experience there? How is the walk?

My name is Amy Bass and this will be my first Disney Cruise (Fantasy Oct 12). I will be traveling with my husband and 4 kids. I've heard about fish extenders although do not know much nor do I understand how it works. I am interested in knowing more. Can anyone help? How do I sign up for a group?

Welcome! You need to let me know room number, names, ages and gender and I add you to the list.

Just do a search here or on facebook and you will find everything you need to know about FEs.

Here is a snippit taken from a FB page:
What is an FE?

An FE is a "fish extender" - something with pockets that has been created by you (or purchased online) that holds your FE gifts! The reason it's called an FE is because it hangs from the fish outside your stateroom door:

This fish is used by DCL to deliver messages and such to your room (like your Palo "invite", etc, etc.)

Diser's have been hanging FE's to the fish in order to exchange gifts with people who sign up to participate for many years. It's ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN and the spirit of giving!

Hi Amy, welcome! I have been on one Disney cruise before but this will be my first FE (fish extender) as well so there is a learning curve but it has been really fun so far. My name is Heather and I am traveling with my husband and two girls ages 8 and 3.

Hi all! Just checking in! 108 days till our cruise!!!!!

I paid off our cruise this evening. Spent the last hour reviewing the shore excursion and adding my "favorites" to my planning area to be ready to book late on friday night! Also wanna book the palo brunch since I have not gone to it before... Stupid question - do you prebook the mixology & tastings? How do you do it?

Chat with you all soon!!!

Isn't it a great feeling to be paid off? My DD, Aunt and I have decided only to do an excursion in Grand Cayman (the Seven Mile Beach Break), and at the other ports we will just get off of the ship and do some shopping and then get back on and explore the ship. I have never done the mixology or tastings, but I have read on other threads here on the DisBoards that you don't prebook, but you need to go to Guest Services the day we board and register for them.

And my countdown now says 107!!!! One more day down!!

Hi,

Dennis and I are joining the fun. This will be our 9th cruise. We just returned from the EBTA in May and are eagerly anticipating this cruise.
