Hi there!

This time I found YOU!
Not cruising with you (we are on the Fantasy Aug 10 - 24) but wanted to know if you were at Disney after the cruise? We'll arrive on Aug 7!
Would be nice to say hello again.

Hi there Karin! Awww, too bad we won't be crusing with you again! But, maybe we can meet up because we will be at WDW after the cruise 8/4-8/10, so our dates do overlap a little! Where will you guys be staying?

We will be cruising on the Dream in 27 days again! Need to enjoy my half term holiday.
It's awesome that our trips overlap again. We will be at OKW from Aug 7 - 10, when we will be arriving in the evening after a 10 hour flight .
What about you?

You are so lucky to be going back on the Dream so soon! Have a wonderful trip!

We are at BLT, after the Dream 8/4-8/6 and then VWL until the 10th, maybe 11th. (have to wait till more flight schedules are released to see!)

23 days from today we will be on board and sailing another 4 night cruise!
I am sure we can work something out to at least say "Hello" again! I really loved that your daughter walked up to me last summer! What a way to start off our vacation.

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list

Have a great cruise!

Hello! We will be cruising for the first time on the Dream on Aug 1 2013. We would love to participate in First Extenders if anyone else is up for it!

Is this where we would join for a FE group?

 

[stitch333]

Someone please contact me on how to join an FE exchange group for Aug 1-4 2013 Dream cruise... We are interested in exchanging trinkets!

Yes! We would live to! Should we wait a little longer for more people or should we just plan between us?

Either way is fine by me! We have cruised before but we have only decorated our door. I am new to the whole Fish Extender thing! It sounds fun though. Do you know how it works? Is it an exchange everyday? Any extra info you have about how this works would be great!

 

[amanjohn]

I am brand new to Disney Cruises and FEs. I think if it is just our families we can do whatever we want! Being its only three days I think we can do every day don't you? We will be a mom, dad and two girls (5& 3). What do you think?

 

[westmomof2]

Hi! We just booked for this same Dream cruise and would like to join in on the FE group, if it's not too late! This is not our first Disney cruise but it will be the first time we do an FE exchange

 

[amanjohn]

Great! That makes three families so far! I think we should wait a little longer to make the list just in case. Wouldn't want to have to change it all. How about a July 13 deadline? That will give us 2.5 weeks to organize. I have never even done this before, not to mention organize it, but with a small group and I am willing to try. I did some research and these are my questions for those participating:
1. Should EACH participating family give EACH participating family gifts EACH day or should we assign by day (family A gives to Family B on day one, to family C on day two, etc.)
2. I was reading that some people may change stateroom numbers on the day of sail. Should we schedule a place to meet quick at the beginning of the cruise to make sure we have the right room numbers?

 

[westmomof2]

Yay! This is very exciting! And I'm kind of glad it's a small group since it's our first FE exchange ever...makes the process a little less overwhelming. Thank you amanjohn for organizing

I think it is a great idea for us to meet on the first day - and just read that you have 2 girls around the same age as ours (we have 2 girls who are 5 and 2) - even more awesome

I'd love to participate every day if the other families are okay with it. Sounds like I need to get us a FE and start scouring for gifts!!

My sister and I will be on this cruise with my 6yo daughter. She is really looking forward to it! My sister is a cruise master. I haven't been on a cruise since I was a little kid.

 

[westmomof2]

Would love to meet up on the cruise StephsCrop! My 5 yo loves making new friends

 

[StephsCrop]

Would love for her to make a friend on the cruise as well! I would like to participate in the FE exchange too!

 

[crzy4dals]

Hi all - Stephanie's sister here! I am excited about our last minute cruise and participating in the FE.

I would suggest that we give the kiddos something each day/night. Since it is such a short cruise and small group..

A small group meet would be good too if anyone makes a room change at port. On past cruises we have meet up at the Vista Cafe on Deck 4 midship. Since there is such a small group we could meet up at 3:30 then head to the lifeboat drill at 4. And sail away at 4:30!!!

We will have the Golden MIckeys our first night, Villans the 2nd night which is also Pirate Night after leaving Nassau, the last night is optional formal night and Disney's Beleive.
