WOW! Quote the crew you have there! Might I say; WELCOME ... BACK!

Feel free to join the FB group where you can sign up for FE, a DIS Meetup, and/or I hear there is even a small group checking out each others cabins

Is this trip celebrating anything? Other than coming back of course

Also, DH and I are from Utah as well There is another family from Utah in our group also!

Hey all, I just booked this cruise as a last-minute surprise for my boys (and my first vacation in YEARS!). My name is Jessica (35) and I have two boys, Gabriel (6) and Joshua (3). I'm going to be traveling with my mom next month. My husband has to work and, honestly, he goes on long fishing trips all the time so he can stay home with the dog.

I've lurked on the board off and on for years while trying to convince myself to book a cruise. I've cruised on Princess and Carnival before, but have wanted something better for the kids. My last cruise was Carnival 2 1/2 years ago, and it just wasn't enough of a break for me.

I live in north San Diego county and am at home with the kids, homeschooling Gabe through a charter school. I used to be an electrical engineer, back in the before days. My husband is also an engineer. He and I have know each other since preschool and have been married for almost twelve years.

I sent a request for the FB group, my name is Jessica Fischer. Hope to meet up with some of you and I REALLY hope my kids make some friends and are willing to go to the kid's club.

Welcome to the thread (and cruise!) Jessica!

I hope you can join in on the meetup on embarkation day I know many people are looking forward to having their kids meet

I'm Kris and it will just be me and DH sailing, since we don't have kids ... yet.

I'm planning on being there.

I need to update my FB profile picture since I don't have pink hair anymore. Or maybe I'll dye it again before the cruise. . . .

Just found this forum. Thank you for adding me to FB.

Don't know what all the abbreviations are & if it is not too late would really want to join an FE group, please help.

I'm feeling overwhelmed, excited but overwhelmed. Please help, I need some hand holding.

Just to make sure, you know what an FE is, right? Just in case, here's a link to help:

What abbreviations are you confused with?

I thought I saw there is another FE group for those who were trying to join late. Would appreciate if anyone can guide me through. This will be our first Disney cruise, bit overwhelmed. We'll be 4 of us joining the fun group Myself, DW, DD5 DD11. Hope to meet you all soon.

I'm sorry, there are 2 FE groups, the first one closed mid february. The second one closed yesterday.

Jerry and Laura, from Alpharetta, GA. This is our 7th Disney cruise, first one without kids! We did five when our kids were small back in the early 2000's, then took a long break and went on the very first Baltic cruise in June 2010.

Looking forward to seeing y'all in a little over a week!

I just returned from the Wonder 3/25 departure. Everyone please be very aware if you plan to make purchases in Cabo San Lucas.
Nick does a wonderful job as a Shopper's Guide. He does not work for Disney and actually is paid a fee by the businesses for Disney shoppers.
The Port Shopper's Buyers Guarantee has many 'holes' when you actually need to use it.
Above all else, please beware of Royal Jewelers -- no matter how much Nick professes them to be the best location for shopping.
To date, they have been extremely uncooperative in processing a return of jewelery.....I know, who would be jewelery on a cruise anyway??? silly me.
If you happen to stop in, let Nick and Dinesh know there are more than one dissatisfied customer out there!
Thank you, Sandi
