April 22 Wonder Mexican Riviera Cruise

[mbb]

Hi everyone!!

We're on our Final Payment Due By day - don't forget to call your TAs, or Disney

As well, our cut off for participating in the FE has been set to February 15/12.

If you're on the WonderFul and WonderFun 22April to the MR and want to play, you must provide your information by February 15, ie, Family Name, ages, and Stateroom number must be entered on the Facebook Document list... that's the list that everyone can print out and take with them on the Cruise.

Our FE is pretty wideopen.. if you want to give on one night - great!
Multiple nights? - that's good too.
It's entirely up to you.
Some families have a total amount that they are spending, and that's fine as well. Some families are themeing their FEs to Pirate Night, or others are passing out snack goodies - yummo!

The FE is for fun, surprises, and a little extra magic, that's all

As well, some folks are meeting up in Parrot Cay and/or Beach Blanket Buffet on Embarkation Day around lunch time - again, just as an opportunity to say hi, introduce the kids, put faces to names...if you're there, we'd love to say hello! I've been picking up Lime Green Mickey Heads from Home Depot, and we'll be sporting ours on a hat, backpack, or carryon.

Soo looking forward to wonderful week with my family, and my DISfamily too

How did everyone do with pal/excursions? I got everything I wanted...dolphin kids, palo brunch, dinner, and tea (just in case, probably will cancel that).

Now just waiting till midnight (3am EST) to check in! :

I hope its okay that I jump in here! My family and I are cruising for the first time on this sail date. My good friend and TA Jenn sent me a link to this thread saying I should jump in and join a FE group. We're super excited!

We are sailing with our two boys 7 and 5. Thanks so much, looking forward to reading more.

I just found this online and was excited to see. We will be cruising with my DH, DS (2), Brother, SIL and Nephew (4) and Grandma and Papa - we are super excited. We have been to cabo a number of times and love it and are excited to be going back with the boys.

I would like to participate in FE and I think my nephew would get a kick out of it, but I don't think my brother and SIL would be up for it. Can I join the group with my family and just add my nephew to our FE? We have rooms right next to each other.

Welcome aboard! If either of you have facebook, we have a fairly active facebook group about this cruise with an official fish extender document.

Colorado, you can participate just you if you want, just make sure the FE person knows the gender and number of people participating so we can all plan what to bring.

I am on Facebook, is there a link to find the group? I'd love to join.

My husband, Jerry, and I are the oldies but goodies for this cruise. Never have cruised Disney and have always wanted to. My birthday is April 25th and this is what I want to do for it! So DH is going along with it this time. We are nuts about cruising, but I'm ready for something different from the very sedate cruises we have been going on lately.
Guess I'm just young at heart because I am sooooooo excited about this cruise!!

Welcome aboard! Your DH can hang with my mom, who is used to "old person" river cruises that literally have NO CHILDREN aboard, DCL is going to be new and crazy for her! I am sure he will have a great time, looking forward to meeting you!

I know its too late for the FE (haven't actually looked up what that is yet lol!)

It's our first cruise ever! I'm a little nervous. I'm not sure I'm going to like being at sea...lol.

I am so glad to see that there are other kids my sons age going (DS8)!

We have been to WDW quite a few times, and this is out of my comfort zone. I am so excited I can hardly think of other things!

My DH and I were toying around with taking a vacation in April last week when I asked him if we should consider a Disney cruise. At that exact moment, the Disney cruise vacation commercial came on and my DH looked at me and said "I think that is our sign". So I found a fair deal through the travel agent the next day!

We are joining you from Wisconsin!!

Can I still get on your FB page? I put in a request, but I guess you wont know who I am since my real name is used on FB! We are booked in stateroom 6084

Allright, time to add one more set of "late-bloomers" to the list.
I just moved our Dec cruise to this date (we are taking kids to DL in Nov).

It is just going to be my DW and I on this one... this is to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary!!

We actually took our 1st Disney cruise for our 20th, but as we were planning that one we decided we couldn't go on a Disney cruise without our girls so we took our kids with us for our 20th... not this time!

Looking forward sun, sand, and plenty of Disney fun kidless

We are too late for the FE but that's cool, I think we would rather pass this time anyway.

Welcome aboard! Our group is somewhat small but mighty! It is going to be a great week!

We just booked

Our first ever Disney Cruise!

We were going to do the cruise the week before but the price went WAY high So we jumped on this one while the price is still rather low.

We also got that $25 credit

So hello! I'm really excited to meet everyone

I'm Kris (24) and DH (26) will be coming along ^_^ We never thought we'd be able to do a disney cruise anytime soon ... at all! But, because of our tax refund (and money I had saved up) and that amazing deal that disney had, we're able to!
We don't know our cabin # yet cause we booked for the gauranteed oceanview. We'll know a week before sailing though

The reason of this cruise is because of graduation! The weekend after this cruise gets back is our commencement ceremony

 

[Amunet]

Yay! Reserved the excursion we wanted!

It's the Pirate Boat Sail & Snorkel Adventure for Puerto Vallarta!

Couldn't reserve for High Tea I'm hoping I'll get lucky one day and find that a space miraculously opened up

Hi everyone, we just booked this cruise and it will be our first time on Disney cruise. We are so excited. I know the deadline has passed for FE but I am HOPING that maybe someone will let us in still. It will be me, my dh, and 3 dd. I just found this board and jumped on this as quick as I could. I think it would be a great way to get my girls in the giving mood and enhance the vaca. If we cannot be included maybe we could still give some trinkets to others. Hopefully. I applied to be in the fb group and am waiting on that. Thanks in advance!!

Your very best bet is to get onboard as soon as you can go to Palo as soon as they aretaking ressies and try to book there. They always save back a percentage of tables so people can book as they board. The last 2 cruises, we managed to get Palo and Palo brunch just by getting there early

We will be there in line with you trying for high tea and Brunch...
