April 13, 2013 - Western Caribbean Fantasy Cruise

[Pluto6]

Been a few months since I've checked in on the Dis-boards so Welcome to all the newbies. If your on Facebook come check us out over there. April 13,2013 Disney Fantasy Group. There are about 70 of us in that group. We did the third Cruise on the Fantasy this past April and had a ball, can't wait to do it all over again.

Are we sure that we have 15 on list number 2? I see one of those cabins as a no for the FE and I am only counting 14.

I received an email this morning from the DCL Concierge team, and they followed up with a call. Same with CaliforniaGirl09. This is starting to feel more and more real and very exciting. Can't wait to book Port Adventures and adult dining next week.

Just booked our Port Adventures and adult dining. So excited that we got a cabana on Castaway Cay! For other PAs, we booked Dolphin Swim at Dolphinaris for Cozumel, Chacchoben Mayan Ruins for Costa Maya and Island Tour and Snorkeling with Stingrays for Grand Cayman. For adult dining, we booked a Palo brunch, a Palo dinner and a Remy dinner. Now the countdown really begins!

Congrats on getting a Cabana?

Can you confirm what time they are offering the Fury Caterman in Cozumel?

Could someone repost the FE list for the first group? Just getting back on the board. Went on the Dream in Dec. and had a fabulous time. We did concierge and Cabana for the first time. It was awesome. Because we did concierge someone brought us cold water and cold towels while we lounged on the beach....it was so perfect!
Thank you in advance for the FE list

I missed wishing a Merry Christmas so:


Happy New Year!


There's alot of Conciege/Platinum Members on our cruise, but for us Gold Castaway Club Members, online check-in opened last night.

We are not paid off yet as we are struggling to do that. So no reservations for us yet, but I did get a port arrival time of 11:00 AM! I can't remember if they offer 10:00 AM or 10:30? Did anyone get that? Or is 11 the earliest.

I was online at 12:01 AM last night but was all thumbs going through the online check-in 'cause I was tired.

 

[CaliforniaGirl09]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from me, too! I haven't paid in full either, but hope to do so next week. Not looking forward to that bill on top of Christmas bills. Double

 

[Calfan]

I'd also like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Can't believe it is almost 2013, although I was joking with my DH this morning that since I have been focused on all of our travel planning for 2013 for so long, it kind of already feels like 2013 has been with us for some time. Looking forward to meeting everyone in April.

For the fish extender exchanges, how will we get final cabin numbers for the participants? (e.g. if any of us get pixie dust, we should tell the other participants the new cabin numbers)

Normally, pixie dust happens when you get your docs from DCL. Pretty much since online check-in, your luggage tags are now the most important part of what comes from DCL. People usually find out then about being upgraded. Or by going online disneycruise dot com and discovering your cabin number has changed. DCL leaves it to you to discover what catagory that change is.

Around the same time the people who have Guarantee'd status are assigned their cabin numbers, although there are less and less GTY's with the new IGT etc system. Even they find out around doc receiving time.

Anyway, all that happens in enough time to post it on this thread or our facebook page.

It's the people who upgrade at the port that have to put a sign on the old cabin directing the rest of their fish extender thread to the new cabin.

Usually the Fish Extender List is finalized around doc-receiving time.

I remember our 2009 cruise. Dis'ers were losing their jobs left and right and cancelling their cruises. Our List was in flux right up until the cruise. I had to check it on my phone and update my list while we were eating at Peco Bill's in MK. Bad year!

BTW

It snowed here last night! Ugh! I'm NOT a fan of snow.

It's the one thing I love about where I live. Very little snow usually. (Well, there's more than one thing.)

Happy New Year to everyone! See you all in April
