August 3, 2015 ~ 7-Night Alaskan Cruise on Disney Wonder

[touchstone74]

Welcome! I have updated the FE list to include everyone up to this post! We are at 9 cabins. The link to the FE post is in my signature. 82 days to go!

 

[SunnyAA]

This is our first cruise and we are new to all of this but we would like to participate in the Fish Extenders. Thank you for coordinating.

Cabin #1074
Chris M 46 Mickey
April F 39 Minnie
Jordan M 6 Any of the Marvel Characters
No Allergies
First Cruise

Please let us know what we are supposed to do next. I ordered the Fish Extender. How do we know how many gifts to get each day and who for? Will that be given to us.

Thanks again. AA

 

[SunnyAA]

Yikes I just read there was a deadline. Could you let us know if we made the cut. Thanks AA

 

[touchstone74]

Great! Thank you and welcome! The cutoff is June 1 so you have made it with 2 weeks to spare! If you click on the link in my signature (at the bottom of this post) it will take you to the FE list with your cabin listed at the bottom. For giving, it is really whatever you want to do. From my research, most people deliver once throughout the cruise and give what they want. Usually a cabin gift or a gift per person or some combination. There are no set rules or restrictions (other than the occasional allergy listed). It is just something to have fun with.

On another note... 4 more days before us first time cruisers can book excursions, Palo and the all important nursery hours!

I will add your info to the list from my computer in the morning. This is the first time I have logged in from my phone and I noticed my signature is gone! The FE list is being updated in this thread on an earlier page (I think it is page 2). With these three cabins added we are at 13 cabins in all with just under 2 weeks to go, I think. We will see if anyone else signs up, but I am thinking of braking it into 2 groups if 3 or more cabins sign up before June 1. Does anyone have a problem with that?

 

[touchstone74]

I have updated the list. It is about halfway down on page 2!

 

[touchstone74]

I was able to start booking at Midnight and an hour later I am done and was able to book all my first choices, time in the nursery when I wanted it and brunch in Palo! I was even able to book a brunch in Palo on Tracy Arm day for my parents (at my dad's request). 75 days and I am just a little excited...okay, maybe a lot!

 

[Sweetcrafterbee]

Hi all! Not sure if this is where to put this, but we are also booked on this cruise! I, and my husband have been wanting to take an Alaskan Cruise for many years now, and it is finally happening! And, if that weren't awesome enough, we are taking a Disney Cruise with my dad, his GF, and my sister and her family! So amazing and so incredibly excited! We will also be celebrating my DH's 46th Birthday on August 4th!

Anyhow, she, my sister, is the one who told me about the FE program, as she has recently taken two Disney Wonder Cruises to the Caribbean! We are both really excite to participate in the FE program! So, please include us as well!

Welcome! I have added you to the list. We are now at 15 cabins. I am thinking of splitting the group into 2, does anyone else have any thoughts about that? Do you want to go as high as 20 cabins or do you want to split into 8 & 7 now and then if more add divide between the two?

I think we are all traveling quite a way and have limited room in our luggage, but I will do whatever you guys want to do. We have the FE open until June 1 (9 more days!) so we have until then to make a decision.

Also, can everyone find the list? It is on page 2 in this thread and if you are on a computer the link shows in my signature below.

Thanks!

 

[touchstone74]

Beverly (F) - 44 - Blue - Rapunzel - 3rd Disney Cruise, 5th cruise overall!! Youth Large shirt size
Natalie (F) - 11 - Turquoise - Pocahontas and Stitch - 4th Cruise!! 3rd Disney Cruise, 7th cruise overall! Adult 2x shirt size

I just want to verify that these t-shirt sizes are correct in case anyone is making personalized items. These two look reversed, but I could be way off.

Thanks!

Cabin # 2612
Geoffrey M - Any
Lindy F - Tinkerbell
Cameron M 11 - Stitch
Emily F 9 - Anna

Geoffrey will be celebrating his 40th birthday
It is our first cruise.
We don't have any allergies.

Hi,
I was wondering if we are able to make change to our FE info.

Emily would like to change her favourite character to Baymax and our favourite colours are:
Geoffrey - Yellow or Green
Lindy - Green or purple
Cameron - Blue
Emily - White
If it is too late no problems.

I have booked all my shore excursions and I am starting to plan the FE gifts. I am having so much fun!!

 

[touchstone74]

No problem! I have updated the list! I will close the list to new entries on June 1. Hope everyone has a "Wonder"-ful weekend!

Yes, I did make a mistake! Natalie is Youth size Large & Beverly is Adult 2x! Thanks for catching that! Sorry for the error!

I would definitely be 'for' breaking it up into two groups!

 

[touchstone74]

Well, the 2 ways I have tried to break it up so far are: one list with just adults in the cabin and one list with just kids/adults in the cabin. This had a lot more people in the group with kids in the cabin.

The other way was that I listed each cabin with the people in it and broke it up by cabin number. This gave me 52 people and I can break it up into 25 and 27 people (or 6 and 9 cabins). I am still playing with it to try to make the numbers even both ways (people and cabins). Groups that are traveling together may end up in different groups, but I am trying to be fair to everyone. I will keep working on it and trying different combinations. Plus we still have 4 more days for people to join.

Good morning!

We have reached the cutoff date and have 17 cabins and 60 people signed up! I will sit down and try to divide us into a group of 30/30 people and 8/9 cabins to try to be fair to everyone. Not sure how I will do this yet, but I will try to have them done by tonight! Happy June everyone!

Also, for the people missing items, would you please try to add them this week? I think the basics I asked for were name, male or female, age (adult is fine, Disney magic keeps us all young!), favorite character, allergies and any special celebrations. Some other people have added favorite color and shirt size.

I am going to try PMing everyone to verify you are still coming and interested. Please be aware if your post count is less than 10 you will not be able to send or receive Private Messages. If that is the case, please post a note in this thread so we know you are definitely still interested! (Update: I was only able to message 2, so if everyone else could chime in it would be greatly appreciated!)

The list with everyone is in post 37 on page 2 of this thread. If you are on a desktop/laptop there is a link showing in my signature that will take you straight to it, if you are on a mobile device, click on page 2 and scroll down.

Thanks for your help and participation everyone!

Good afternoon! I have split up the groups. The only only rule is about the minimum: you must gift each person or cabin at least once that is in your group. Since we have broken it up into two groups it is not necessary to gift everyone (but no one will stop you from pixie dusting anyone!)

Please let me know any updates. I know groups were split up, but this was the way the numbers worked out to be the most fair for everyone involved. Each group has 30 people. The number of adults, children and cabins are within one number of each other (I counted anyone under 20 as a child, 20 and up as adults). Hopefully this gives us a good balance!

I updated the list on page 2 to reflect the split.

Hello - This is Beverly. My sister Renee signed us all up for the FE. My cabin is in the Donald/Daisy Group. I had a question, there is no cabin number listed for the 2nd party in the group with James, Bridget, Emily and Alice. It just says GTY. Do you know what that means?

Thanks and thank you for organizing!

Can't wait.

Beverly
