Thanks Diana. I tried to send you a PM but it wouldn't allow me to since I don't have more than 10 posts. Is there some other way I can send you the information instead of posting it here for all to see?

Thanks so much!

This will be our first disney cruise! We have no idea what we're doing but I read a little about the fish extenders on another site- not sure I totally understand but sounds interesting. Joined the fb page so will probably be there more. Anyone else doing Mickey's not so scary Halloween on the night of the 18th?

So excited! Glad to have found this!

It will be me, DH, son (will turn 8 on the ship) and twin daughters (5).

The facebook page is listed under Disney Fantasy October 19, 2013...search and you should be able to find it, if not, let me know and we'll try another approach.

Really excited to join FE group, but just signed up for Facebook this afternoon. Requested to join the Disney Fantasy Oct. 19, 2013 closed group.

We're counting down the days! My family of three is cruising this time with my in-laws. While on this cruise, we will celebrate our 19th anniversary, their 52nd, and my MIL's 72nd birthday. We're praying for smooth seas and sunny skies!

Been a while since we've posted here. Looking forward to the cruise. How many families are we up to? DW and I don't Facebook, so I suspect we're way behind on all the happenings. Any meet plans?

Julie Wolf has made a group magnet and you can print this out onto magnetic paper and put it on your stateroom door: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201101761249996&set=oa.366148783485592&type=3&theater Please note that there are rules regarding what can be put onto stateroom doors and you are not to use anything sticky or adhesive at all, you can only use magnets. You can be fined by Disney for not adhering to this policy so please bear this in mind.

You can find lots of other group magnets in the Photos section of this board, everyone has been doing a fantastic job in making these graphics and you are free to share them. PLEASE NOTE: The graphics are for your own personal use and the person making them has kindly allowed them to be shared, please do not sell these graphics or make them available outside of this group.

Once you have familiarized yourself with the board there are a few links that you might find of interest in the files page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/175932702507202/files/ You can add the details of where you are staying the night before your cruise or whether you are going to the Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom, there are also copies of previous Navigators from this cruise so have a good idea of what will be on and when during your time onboard.

Any important dates or updates will be added to this sticky so please click the 'follow this post' link under this post so you get important updates to events happening on this cruise.

We are all so excited to be on this cruise.

Here's another fun thing the Facebook group is doing:

It's called "What the Duck?!"

What the Duck?!Final decision is that we are going to leave 1 duck per family on the table the last night and 1 duck per stateroom (in the bathroom sink) the last morning. If your family has two staterooms, please be sure to count two bathroom sinks!

Pirate Ducks are 53 cents each - please PayPal as "Gift" to diana.solomon@live.com. I have ordered 60 Pirate ducks already and can order more if needed.

Also, to make this easy, I will drop these off when I drop off FE gifts. If your family isn't participating in the FE Exchange, please add your stateroom number here as well!


(you can see what they look like by typing in "pirate duck" on Amazon.com)

Wow! We really have missed out on a lot! We'll have to find out when the bar meet is. Any meets on embarkation day?

I'm going to have to carve out some time to go back and read up on things.

I forgot to mention that we are over 200 members already!
I believe there is a group meet before the muster drill on embarkation day.
