August 12, 2012 5 day Canada from NY

Hi Kristina!

Here's a link to the Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/197198547055271/ You just need to put in a request to be added.

Disney52303 is coordinating the FE list...she has a post just a few above this one. Send her a PM with all your group's info (names/ages, Disboard name, stateroom #, and any allergies) and she'll add you to the list.

The FE is like a secret santa group if you've ever done that. You buy or create a pouch to hang off the fish outside your stateroom door and others in the group will leave you surprises in it. Likewise, you will leave a surprise in the FE of everyone else in the group.

There are tons of threads showing examples of FE's and also gift ideas that others have done. If you do a search of the cruise forum, you'll find tons of info you can sift through. Also, a quick search for "fish extender" on Ebay will also show you lots of examples of the pouches.

Glad to see another 5 year old on the cruise! Maybe we can get all the little guys together for some fun at some point!

Thank you so much for the info.....this is great. I will get onto the FB page and will also sign up for the FE stuff.

Would love to get the 5 year olds together and they can play at the Oceaneer Club! Getting so excited for the cruise.....

Hi all - how is everyone doing? Can't believe we are a little over 2 1/2 months away from our trip. We have our shore excursions booked and I booked one spa treatment....not sure if I will keep but wanted to grab one!

How does everyone feel about doing a DIS meet on the first day at 3:00 in the Promenade Lounge? It's a half hour before the muster so it would just give us a quick chance to say hi to everyone and know who the DISers are so we can say Hi when we run into each other on the ship. It's also a great time to get the kids to meet up so they already have some friends when they go to the clubs.

 

[Kristina - Mom]

That sounds great to me!

Thanks for organizing us....

Hi all,

I just noticed that for our cruise the Pirate Deck Party is scheduled for the 4th night. Unfortunately I didn't realize this until after I made a reservation for my DH and I at Palo.
Does anyone know what time the deck party will start? I thought it was closer to 9:30 or 10 when we went on our last Disney cruise in 2010. My hubby thinks it was closer to 8:30/9 pm. I would like to adjust my reservation accordingly.

 

[Michele1377]

Duh - forget it -I found the answer when I clicked on the actual day - it is at 9:45

Hi all! MY DH & SS (11) will be joining me on this cruise. 1st Disney cruise. So excited! Can't wait until the first Canada cruise returns next week & we see some reviews. I hope someone will scan a Navigator so we can get an idea about activities/shows.

Hi. We'll be sailing with you. Myself, DH, DD(13), DS (9). This will be our 8th Disney cruise, been on the Magic, Wonder and Dream. Looking forward to a wonderful cruise.

Hello! I will be sailing with my DS (7), who plans on joining the Oceaneers' program. Perhaps he will meet your 9 y/o there? Cheers!

Okay, for FE peeps, I am thinking of a soft deadline of 6/23 (I know not everyone has stateroom #'s.... just thinking of this date for a count so people can start on specific gifts). I say 'soft' deadline in case someone finds our group last minute - I hate to say no to sharing the fun! I will also post the same on DIS. So far there are only 7 families. Between a pretty small group and no flights I think we'll have fun with gifting (I already have fun homemade ideas!) If anyone else in interested please let me know. Once we have a final list I will PM anyone who is not on FB. Sound good??

Can you post a list of who is currently participating and how many/ages for the group so if we were planning to participate we can make sure we are on the list and our info is correct?

Oh yes! She does not know about the trip-we do not handle anticipation in our family well
She walked in on me on the computer and was very interested in the cruise- I told her "some day"
