#2 checking in.

I and my DW, and twin DD9 and DD9 are aboard.

I'm not interested in a FE exchange but instead a (door) magnet exchange.

I'm subscribed to this thread but oddly I don't get notifications about activity here so I haven't been here for a couple weeks.

Although we are getting close, I do think that the moderators should start a new thread because there are pages of useless posts regarding the previous Maiden Voyage cluttering this thread.

Also, for PRIVACY reasons, people should not post their cabin/stateroom numbers on the forum. This information should only be shared within exchange groups.

I subscribe to this thread, too, but I am only sent notification of the first new message that is posted after my most recent visit. I then must visit the thread again or I will not get any further notifications...do you think this is what is happening to you?

I agree we need a new thread. Christopher, what if you posted something on the main boards with a subject like "Dear Moderators, can you help us out?" and see if you get a response. Or I'll be happy to do that...I'm just suggesting you might want to try since you are managing the roll call and FE.

Went to Costco today and they had snorkel / mask / fin sets. DH and I have that but DD needed a new set. I know we probably don't need our own, but we like to have them...

I have updated your information on the roll call. Magnet exchange noted......anyone else want in on the magnet exchange, let me know.

 

[itutorfortravel]

How many folks are signed up for the FE so far? And when is the cut off date for that?

 

[D73]

Also, for PRIVACY reasons, people should not post their cabin/stateroom numbers on the forum. This information should only be shared within exchange groups.

In case there are others that are concerned about privacy issues, I have removed all reference to Cabin numbers from the roll call and any posts (including quotes within posts).

Please do note that the only cabins that I had listed, other than my own, were those that had already been posted by the users in their posts. Any cabin numbers sent to me for FE that were not posted on the thread, remain in my list for distribution in a private manner when the list is complete.

If you wish to protect your privacy in regards to the cabin number, you can edit it out of any post you made. If it is quoted in someone else's post, you will need to ask them to edit it out of the quote for you.

Hope this alleviates any concerns.

Christopher

Christopher, Thanks for the info on FEs. I don't think I will be able to handle that. Looking forward to reading what everyone has planned though! went ahead and booked the Teen wild Adventure and hope it is as fun as it sounds. Jasmine is looking forward to it. Can't find any info on it though beyond what the DCL site has on it.

I agree we need a new thread. Christopher, what if you posted something on the main boards with a subject like "Dear Moderators, can you help us out?" and see if you get a response. Or I'll be happy to do that...I'm just suggesting you might want to try since you are managing the roll call and FE.

I have sent Private messages now to the 3 individuals who are listed as moderators for this thread in hopes of getting some response soon. THis is what I wrote:

Hello,

On behalf of the members posting on the 4/7/2012 Fantasy thread on the Disney Cruise Meets forum, we request assistance with our thread.

Our thread was started when this cruise was to be the Maiden Voyage which has been moved a week earlier. With the major defection of the users of this thread on the to the new Maiden Voyage, we have nearly 15 pages (the first 220) posts that are no longer relevant to those of us who are truly sailing this cruise. There is a mess of a previous roll call and FE Exchange list.

If you are able to remove or hide these first 220 messages, this would be preferable. However if this is not possible, perhaps you can help us by closing the thread and we can start a new thread which can be referenced on the Find your Cruise Thread.

Please help us. I tried earlier this week to contact a moderator via email and received no response. We would like this thread to represent us and not be half way inapplicable.

Thank you.

Christopher

Hopefully we get some assistance soon.

How many folks are signed up for the FE so far? And when is the cut off date for that?

Confirmed for FE Exchange

had2disneycruz 1 cabin, 6 people
amoybaci 1 cabin, 3 people
Fan4Ever 3 cabins, 13 people
D73 1 cabin, 1 person

Expressed interest but not confirmed

liberty6201 expressed interest in a post but has not been on the thread for a long time and has not confirmed for roll call

itutorfortravel expressed interest but wishes to get involved only if it is not too large

michellebrianna expressed interest but want to be involved if it remains manageable

Elfinjojo expressed interest in a post but has not confirmed

Would prefer a door magnet exchange

gmark2000


The date that I had provide as a cut off was Friday March 16, but if people prefer, I can move that to March 7 which will be exactly 1 month out from sailing.

Again welcome!!

QUOTE]

OK, I have heard from MJ, a moderator for our thread. In order to accomplish my first requeast, she would need to delete the first 220 posts on this thread one at a time.

She has recommended that we close this thread and begin a new one which we can make copmletely our own.

I have started this new thread. It is titled Fantasy Fans: April 7, 2012 and can be found directly at http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2867939

This thread, once closed, will remain live to allow people to reference back to any discsussions that have been started. Hopefully it will not take long though before we are all comfortably situated in our new thread.

The Roll Call will now have a permanent place as Post #2 in the new thread and will be updated there. Likewise, the FE Exchange will have a permanent home of Post #3.

I will send PM's and email messges to all those who have posted in this thread and indicated that they will be on this sailing to spread the word that the new thread is in place.

I will post a thread on the main board. And the new thread address will be updated to the Find your 2012 Fantasy Cruise Meet LINK here Sticky thread.

I hope this alleviates confusion for us all and helps us to bring our Fantasy Fans together.

Christopher
