Hello everyone. Took advantage of the FL Resident rates last night and booked our 4th cruise. Myself, DW, DD (will have just turned 6) and DS (1-1/2).

Got lucky and got our 'favorite' cabin, and was also surprised to see early dining was available, as well as some Palo reservations open. So if any of you are wait listed for main dining, it may be a good time to call and see if you can get that changed.

Hope everyone is as excited as we are...it will be a nice end of summer break before my daughter starts 1st grade.

Welcome OrlandoDisneyFan!!!

Easiest way to do FE gifts is Oriental Trading Company or similar enterprise...stuff is inexpensive and plentiful...alternatively a "dollar" store or the like works well too...we have done FE's w/over 50 kids involved to as few as 5-10...

Cool! Our fish extender list is growing!!! Awesome! The people on the 5th & 6th deck are going to be wondering what's going on (since 5 of us are on deck 6 and 1 on deck 5). I hope PixieDawnDust replies with her info soon!!

Almost 2 months to go --

My DD asks to watch the DCL DVD every single day. She is SOOO excited!!!

Hi QB!

Just wanted to let you know that the FE list has my 3 year old son under the girl column.

Thanks in advance for the fix.

I am really horrible with all of this. I couldn't click on the "click here" nothing came up.

I went shopping for FE gifts and I need an extra suitcase just to fit the gifts that I got, and that isn't even enough for all my cruises. I think I am going to make myself go mad if I try. I have questions...

1. Is it one gift per person, each cruise?
2. Is there a master list that will be handed out when we all meet the first day?
3. Should I participate in this FE? I will explain...

We are embarking upon the Wonder on August 3rd, and disembarking on the 29th. I would love to do every cruise's FE, but I don't think I will be able to. I will talk to my dd and see what we come up with.

Any suggestions?

PixieDustDawn,

First of all, you are so lucky to be cruising for that long - good for you!!

For the FE, here's what I am doing - a grab bag for each child in the stateroom, gender specific. HOWEVER, you could make it simple & easy - do something small for each stateroom, rather than for each person. Maybe something from the town/state you are from? Pen/pencil & a note pad? A homemade label that says something fun wrapped aroud a Hershey bar, just a few ideas along those lines. There is a FE thread that could help you with ideas. Something like that. No one cares about the quantity - it's just the fun of passing out and receiving You could make it small & simple.

As far as not being able to click on the link, see if QBNQT can send you the list via PM. Our list is pretty small so far, so our cruise will be easy!

Hope this helps,
Emily

Thanks Emily,

I just drove my daughters crazy with the whole FE thing. We added it all up and decided we are just going to do a FE on one of our cruises. We decided to wait until my oldest joins us, and that will be the cruise we will do it on. I have about six shopping bags of "stuff" waiting to be packed. It is getting out of hand. I couldn't imagine planning an FE for all six cruises, since I don't even know what I am doing. lol

Thanks for the info, but we will pass on the FE for this sailing. I hope we are all going to meet on the first day. I would love to participate in a meet.

My family will be there, too!

Any Navigators yet?

Pixiedustdawn,

Did you get a great discount for booking so many back to back cruises?

 

[Silverfox97]

Anyone else out there on our cruise interested in participating in the Fish Extender fun?? I know there are some new additions to our cruise!!

 

[Pixiedustdawn]

Pixiedustdawn,

Did you get a great discount for booking so many back to back cruises?

No discounts. As a matter of fact, I cruised last year on the Magic for the entire Month of August and it was way cheaper. (More days last year) The smaller cruises add up to more money.

Next year I may do it in the Med. Seems to be about the same amount. (Minus air and hotel)
