[DLgeeks]

Hi! This is our first cruise too and I can't wait. I've was doing some research on the FE and it sounds like fun. You can count me in!

Welcome!

I will be happy to start the FE! I just got off this cruise and booked it again for next year. Our FE had 7 groups! Lets see if we can beat that! Info needed names, ages, cabin, celebrations, allergies, how many groups would you like to join and for fun your favorite disney character!!!

MinniesMagicBow are you still willing to do the organizing for the FE? It sounds like we have enough folks who are interested to get the ball rolling!

cabin- 5134
celebrations- my (Natalie) birthday
allergies- Natalie (none), Rio (none)-- but no alcohol please

Hello! I'm KipperBun's travel partner, Rio, and I'm so excited to be in a fish extender group for my very first cruise. Can't wait to see you all!

 

[Panama Lindy]

Good morning, All!

Does anyone know how many cabins are usually in a FE group? Starting to plan my gift bags and would like a rough idea of how many I need. This will be our first FE experience and we are really looking forward to having a lot of fun with it!

I assume someone will post when we need to provide our information.

Can't wait for some magic Pixie dust!

I believe a request for info was previously posted by Minniesmagicbow.

In regards to your question about numbers of participants, I have counted 5 cabins express desire to participate but I don't know big the average is. I would suggest some sort of number/date cut-off to better aid in prep and money management (I realize it is currently early in the timeframe).

Thanks, I noticed you and Rio are the only ones to provide the requested info. Not sure if anyone is keeping track yet. Looking forward to meeting you and the rest of the group in Alaska!

 

[KipperBun]

Yeah, I might have jumped the gun on the info. Chalk it up to excitement. I can always repost it if it is needed again.

Hi everyone. I just got off to the EBPC cruise and booked onboard. I can't wait to take my two sons (ages 20 &15). My youngest is always game for any vacation, but my oldest isn't. However, he said that he would love to do an Alaskan cruise so I jumped on it! I can't wait to go

My Mom passed away two months ago after battling with breast cancer three times in 25 years. My sister also battled two times in seven years and passed away at the age of 40. I am blessed to be a previvor and had a prophylactic bilateral mastectomy at the age of 40. Breast cancer has impacted my life and family greatly too. You ladies are amazing!

 

[KipperBun]

Should someone else take lead for the FE? We are now down to about 6 months until the cruise.

Would love to be in a fish extender group if anyone gets one together!

Is anyone opposed to me taking over as organizer? I don't want to step on any toes, though. Additionally, I will happily hand the reigns back over to @MinniesMagicBow if she so desires. If you are against my organizing the FE for the time being, please let me know in the thread. Otherwise, please post your info in this format so I can easily copy and paste it into a uniform list:

cabin number:
names/genders of people in your travel party including you (their ages go in parenthesis):
allergies and restrictions on gifts:
any celebrations:
favorite characters for members in your party (if you want - don't stress about it ^w^) :
additional notes (optional):

Thanks, everyone!

People who have expressed interest in participating:
@TBLaube
@MinniesMagicBow
@Jasmine2015

If you are in the second list (or even a newcomer) and still wish to join in, please post your info in this format to the thread. I will add it in.

Should we discuss a cut-off point, either based on date or group size? At this point, if everyone in this post joined, we would have 10 rooms in the group. But I am just putting that out there. I don't want to be the only one making decisions because this should be a fun thing and I don't want anybody to feel cheated or upset. So please, voice concerns if you have any. I will happily listen and try to work with everyone.
