This will be our second Disney cruise. My son and I my niece are super excited. I was wondering if anyone has the template for the door name tag templates. I want to make tags for our door. I also wanted to know if anyone is interested in doing the fish extender trade. Let me know. Thanks.

We'd love to do the FE. Maybe it will still be fun even if we only have a few families doing it. Do you want me to start the organization or do you want to do it.

The Fish Extender (FE) exchange is a lot of fun. If you want to join, just let me know and I will start a list. Some people call it a ship version of a Secret Santa, although most of us are not secret. There is a FE thread on the Disboards which gives a sew and no-sew version to make your own extender or they can be found on e-bay and etsy. We bought ours on ebay.

The gifts can be whatever fits your budget and inspires you. We have received magnets, keychains, small bags of candy, small decorated notebooks, book marks, bottles of wine/liquor, calendars, CDs, so pretty much anything goes. There are also threads that show what others have made and received.

I think, even with just three months to go, there is enough time to get an FE group together for our cruise. Our kids LOVE coming back to the room and finding goodies in their pockets, so its always worth it for us to participate just to see their excited little faces.

 

[MagicFan75]

So far, this is what I have based on the thread posts. If you want to participate in FE or want to provide more info on your party (such as names, ages of kids, hometown, stateroom # if participating in FE, etc.), let me or all of us know.

Thank you so much for starting to put this group together.

My DH (Mark) and I (Debbie) are interested in the FE group. As mentioned earlier - it doesn't matter how large the group is - FE's are always lots of FUN!

Hi, everyone! We are super excited about our first DCL experience on the Wonder 4/8. We have 3 kids: Josh (13), Jessie (almost 11) and Jacob (8). We'd love to participate in the FE group if it's not too late (and if our kids aren't too old). Any advice from you seasoned sailors would also be appreciated!

Thanks!

Us too! Our travel agency (dreams unlimited) contacted us this morning and had already processed our reservation change and we got lots of $ back. I encourage everyone to contact your travel agent or Disney directly and make sure you take advantage of this.

Welcome to our cruise Terri! We'd love to have your family participate in FE, and no, your kids aren't too old. In fact, some adults only sailing parties enjoy participating in the FE too. So far, it looks like we have four confirmed FE families, but we will keep it open for a few more weeks so that hopefully more will join.

Hello all! My wife heard about the KSF promotion so we signed up ASAP. It'll be me(Jason), DW(Deanna), DD(Jordan, 10), and DS(Jaret, 7). This will be our second Disney cruise having done a double dip 5 night on the Dream last summer. We're very excited to replace our previously planned spring break trip with another Disney cruise! We're also bringing my wife's parents and some other friends as well. At least one family anyway and others are considering it. Looking forward to seeing what the Wonder has to offer.

Welcome Jason and family! Are you interested in doing the FE exchange?

I called DCL this afternoon and they are refunding the fares for all 3 of our children. She said that they still have limited availability for that special, so if you haven't yet called, do it!

Thanks but not this time. Just not enough time to really prepare for it.

Can't believe that we're what, 80 days away? Gotta love it when 15 friends and family can all book a cruise within a 12 hour period for a deal ! The adults may actually be as excited as the kids!

Hi All,

I'm updating the roll call as folks post publicly or send me a PM. I'll send it out every 2-3 weeks so I don't bombard you with the info.

For the FE group, we have four families so far, which is a very manageable number if anyone wants to join in. (First time we participated in FE, we were on the Dream and we had about 25 families in the FE group. Talk about walking off your dinner.)

Once we get closer, we can talk about a DIS meet maybe at the Promenade Lounge or up on the pool deck shortly after embarkation. Its always nice to put faces to names and be able to recognize each other throughout the cruise.

Happy Friday and cheers to all of you that have a long weekend!

Jessica

On embarkation day. Only 80 days to go until our next one!
