Just booked this cruise and we are in for the FE! My friend and I are taking a break from work and husbands to have a girls trip. I will PM the needed info over.

This will by my 5th Disney Cruise and Jessica's first! So we are celebrating my birthday while on board and her just being on board one of the best cruise ships ever. (The other being the Magic!)

See you all soon!

Tracy (me) and Jessica

Today I went to the craft store . . . ok 3 of them and gathered up some stuff for making the fish extender and magnets. I am so excited. How I wish we were sailing next week. Nov 7th will have to do! At least I will get to celebrate my Birthday on the ship! I think on our sea day! How relaxing.

 

[LivingtheWDWdream]

Not sure if we are making a new FE but we may just use the same one we had last cruise.

How exciting to be celebrating your birthday on board! Happy birthday to you!

I can't wait for the cruise either!!!

My Mom and Niece will also be celebrating their B-day when we are all on the ship..

My niece will be 10 on sail date, so we are telling her we are going on the cruise for her B-day... she is so excited... ooohh to be young again...

 

[MegaMouseHouse]

As much time as it takes me to make the FE I wish I could use our last one. I personalized the last one with all our names so it won't work. I figured for this one though I will just make it a girly one and then in the future if I go on more girls only cruises I will be set.

Since I do not sew well I make mine all with iron on adhesive tape and it is slow going, but it keeps me busy doing something for the trip so that is fun!

Not sure if we are making a new FE but we may just use the same one we had last cruise.

[MegaMouseHouse]

Yea! Lots of birthdays!! Think of the fantastic memories she will have of her 10th birthday. I am jealous. I did not have any birthdays like that growing up. Lucky girl!!

Tomorrow is my day to pay in full so I can book excursions and Palo!!! Woo Hoo!!! We are getting closer.

 

[LivingtheWDWdream]

Ok Folks, final payment for 75 days out is coming up around the 20th I believe of August can I just say how excited i am that its getting so close!

Fish extender List....Please if your interested in joining please send me a PM with your stateroom, number of adults, number of children by the 24th of August so that I can get the list out to those particpating I know of some who are handmaking gifts and I know it takes time to do that.

How I will work the FE list... Last day to get info is Aug 24th, I will finalize the list and I will send out via PM the list along with my email address so that if it doesn't work on your end you can email me and I can forward it that way. If after the 24th we have late joiners to the cruise or wanting to join I will PRIVATE Message all those who were on the original list to see if any objections to any one being added and if no objections we can add others this way we can accommodate as many as possible but also get moving with our gifts! This is how my FE exchange was run last year (by a different dis'er).

I am hoping to go down to Port Canveral on Thursday to see the Wonder pull out to sea dependant on weather I miss her so much!

Havent been on in awhile (mostly because it was driving me crazy to read about it all and still have so long to go!) but we are in for the Fish Extenders Exchange. We cannot wait for this cruise!!!

 

[LivingtheWDWdream]

We are getting ready to make our payment. We could have made reservations on the 90 day mark but we rather not part with the money so soon LOL.....since we aren't fussy about Palo or spa reservations if we get something we do if not oh well. We can try when we board the ship did that last time and ended up at Palo's twice and brunch!

We are go with the flow and since the only stop we are getting off at is Castaway Cay for half a day we will be just doing our own thing.

 

[LivingtheWDWdream]

I have sent everyone a PM if you did not receive one from me I already have your email address if you did get one from me if you could get me a form of contact for you soon as I am almost at the deadline for the FE list being sent out.

We are making our Final Payment on Friday whoohoo!

We have 36 people total particpating in the FE with 13 of those being kids! Going to be a LOT of fun for sure!

Also I just want to confirm that we DO NOT want to assign delivery days and want to just deliver whenever Correct?

 

[LivingtheWDWdream]

We are PAID IN FULL Our funds got deposited into our account earlier then we thought and we had our TA pay off the balance today!!!! 20 minutes later we were booked for Palo Brunch, Palo Dinner, and 2 spa treatments. Got everything we hoped to get and at pretty decent times.

I hope those who have to wait until 75 day mark to make reservations are just as lucky. I was doubtful on ours as we could have booked at the 90 day mark but our funds weren't open until this week to us.

Now to just sit not so patiently for Nov 7th to get here!

 

[aacmt5]

We paid ours off last week. We decided since this is our first cruise we are going to skip Palos so we didnt make any reservations for anything-We are so excited to be going. Cant wait to get started on our FE gifts!

 

[LivingtheWDWdream]

We lucked out on our first cruise it was a 7 night so we had more chances to see everything so we got hooked on Palo's and then on our cruise on the Wonder in 2009 they really spoiled us! We didn't have any Palo reservations (booked cruise 3 weeks out) as none were left got onboard, booked 1st night and waitlisted for the next night. We were able to go twice!! Brunch had been completely booked and they squeezed us in! We were taken well care of by Michael from the Philipines and by Peitro and we are hoping to see them this cruise if they haven't been moved to the Dream (possible Michael has been on the Magic and Wonder's opening team for training of new staff) to thank them again for making that last cruise so WONDERful.

This trip we are doing dinner the last night, and brunch on the sea day. We will waitlist again for 1 more dinner since the main dining rooms are ok for us but we just get more out of Palo. If we don't get Palo again for dinner that is ok.

 

[aacmt5]

OK OK when Disney sent me my email about it being time to book things I changed my mind! I decided that since my husband and I are celebrating our anniversary we should plan at least one special meal alone so I booked us Palo for brunch. It seems like alot of good things have been posted about Palo's brunch and we wont miss dinner in the dining rooms with the rest of the family. I very excited now!

 

[LivingtheWDWdream]

Cool! We are doing Brunch too its fantastic!

75 days!!!! WHOOHOO! I can't wait, to be Paid in Full Reservations done, (only have changed the dinner reservation 5 times LOL) and now just have to pack it feels fantastic!

I will work on finalizing the FE list tonight/tomorrow and get that out to you in the next day or so. Any late comers to the thread who wish to join I'll PM everyone who joined and ask if they are able to accommodate them or not and go from there.

2 months and 2 weeks to go!

 

[DisneySunflower]

We are dining at Palo for Brunch, too!

I am so excited. We decided to only do one excursion in Nassau, as this is our first cruise and we really want to enjoy The Wonder and all its offerings. I can't wait!
