So excited, I just book the cruise on Friday through Magical Vacations ! We will be at wdw for about 5 days before and then heading off to this cruise. This will be my first cruise ever !! It will be myself Ashley, 28 and my friend Marissa , 26 . Just a girls trip to the best place on earth ! I did join the Facebook page ! I am looking forward to the fish extenders as well, now that I know what they are. I was dissapointed you cant book shore excursions yet, I want to kiss a sealion. Has anyone done that before and if so did you go through blue lagoon or Alantis?

Welcome!!!

We have done the dolphin encounter at Blue Lagoon and it was great. They were very professional and it's a beautiful island.

Mikey, Just message me names, ages, Stateroom #, any allergies, and where from (just for fun). I have a spreadsheet that I will make sure everyone gets (probably via email and/or as a FB doc) a few weeks before we sail.

Hello Everyone,

My husband and I just booked our Dream cruise and will be celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary during this 3 day adventure. On our 25th Anniversary, we took our very first Disney Cruise on the Wonder and we were hooked! We have now been on all four ships and can't decide on our favorite, as we love them all! The November cruise will be our 13th trip on a Disney cruise ship and we have #14 booked for February 2014 on the Fantasy. We can't wait to get back on the Dream...its only 3 days, but that's better than nothing at all!

Looking foward to seeing everyone on board!

I see you have a FB group, so I will see you over there too!

Hi! We are going on this cruise after 7 days at WDW. Looking forward to a fun, relaxing trip! We were on the 8 night Magic out of Galveston in January as first time cruisers and loved it so much, we decided to add a cruise to our annual November trip! The Dream will be my DH and DD16's first cruise ever. Our "magical" cruise in January was girls only but my DD 16 didn't want to miss that much school. Our cruise party consists of:

Amy (me) 43
DH 43
DD 16
DD 14

Kelly (my sister) 44
Her DH 46
DD 6

My niece 22
Her DH 29
DS 2
DD 6 months-not yet born

Thanks for starting this group! I would like to do the FE but am a little concerned about cost (my DH is a little thrifty). I think the FE would just be for my family, but we are getting 2 rooms- does that make a difference? We didn't do the FE on our last cruise. Thanks for the info!

Welcome!!!! Wow! You have a great group of family traveling!

We were on the Magic last summer out of NYC and hope she makes a return in 2015 as we loved not having to fly!

FE can be as little or as much as you want. If you only want one cabin or just the kids, etc to participate, I think everyone will be pretty flexible with that. Don't worry about spending a ton! We have gotten very inexpensive but awesome gifts - a memorable one was someone Googled printable candy bar wrappers and wrapped a Hershey bar - if you bought a box in bulk I bet it would be $10-$15 in total for a gift like that. Feel free to join our FB group and PM/message me about FE! I will need names, stateroom(s), any allergies, where from, and Dis name.

Hello! My fiance Rex and I will be joining you on the November 14th sailing. We are doing B2B cruises on the Dream so we'll be on the November 10th sailing as well. Very excited. I've sailed on the Wonder five times before but Rex is first time Disney cruiser. He has been one cruise on Holland America before but I convinced him Disney was the way to go! So very excited!

Welcome!!! (there was no groom icon lol).

My DH and I went on the Magic for our honeymoon and had a blast!! Did you join our (slowly growing) facebook page?

Well, we are probably going to be on this cruise. We have it booked, guess I should say I booked it and just haven't told DH about it yet. We will be at WDW for him to attend a meeting Sun - Wed, so it just makes sense that we should board the ship on Thursday for a quick cruise, right? Hope he sees it that way, but not sure when I will tell him.

We have an 8E Gty booked, but am thinking about switching to a 5E Gty. We have always stayed in a 5A, but I am looking for a bit of a change and thought that a 3-night would be perfect to try something new to us.

It will just be DH and myself.

Hello Disney cruisers,
My family and I just got off the Dream on Dec. 2nd. We had such an amazing time! It was our first time doing concierge and the cabana. I have to say they really do treat you like royalty.

Of course we had to book another DC when we came home...lol.
So we booked the Dream and then we are staying at Bay Lake Tower at our DVC home. I really enjoy this time of year in Disney. It's not too hot and the Christmas decor is so beautiful! We had an awesome time at MVMCP!

Anyways, my next cruise is in 106 days on the Fantasy... Cannot wait!

Also, I was the coordinator for last cruise for the FE so definitely what to be involved with the exchange so who ever starts it... We are in.

Lastly, if someone starts a FB page let me know. Also, check out the Disney fish extender page on FB. You can get great ideas for FE gifts and I've opted lots of my goodies that I have given and received.

BTW my name is Carol, DH is Mike and my 2 DS Jayden and Logan will be 9 and 6 at time of cruising. Can't wait to talk Disney with everyone

Now that I know what they are... I'm in for fish extenders

Hello,

This will be my family's first ever Disney Cruise!! We are WDW veterans. My parents will be cruising w/ us also. We both (me and DG) would like to participate in the FE fun.

Hey everyone! I'm jumping on a little early. DH told me last week that he has a conference on Orlando November 10-13 and that I should look into cruise options. I took that to mean "change the reservation we just booked on board in February to the November 14th sailing". Sounds like a logical interpretation to me!

Once I get the "official" go ahead, I'll jump on the FB page and join the FEE. We just did our first one in February and the kids LOVED it. They would check our FE every time they left/entered the room (even if it had only been 5 minutes!)

Our family consists of me (Katie), my DH (Shawn), DD (Keira) who is currently 6 but will be 7 when we cruise, and my youngest DD (Sierra) who will be 3, almost 4. We are all veteran cruisers and can't wait to be "home" again aboard a Disney ship!

We're official! Modified our res today. Had to upgrade to a 4C to get midship...awe shucks!

Sent a PM to join FEE and a request to join the Facebook group. Looking forward to getting to know everyone! 7 months!!!

Hey everyone,
Just got back on the Fantasy and had an amazing time. Kids loved camp and me and the hubby relaxed at Statelite Falls everyday{adults only}. We ate at Palo and Remy and had palo brunch for the first time. It was so delicious and I highly recommend.

So I'm trying to get into the Facebook group so I can post some cool pics from my trip. Just waiting to be accepted. I'll also share with you some cool FE gifts that I gave out and received. Even though I just got back I can't wait to set sail again! Looking forward to meeting all of you. I met so many great people on the Fantasy talk to you all soon....hopefully on FB

So jealous! I'm dying to get on the Fantasy so I'll get my Grand Slam! It just hasn't worked out yet. I love Palo brunch too. DH hates it though so I may be looking for people to with me!

One step closer! I just booked our pre-cruise night at the Courtyard Marriot at Cocoa Beach! Makes it seem a bit more real now! Even though we are heading to WDW in less than 2 weeks, I would love to get airfare booked when airtran and SW release their Nov dates. Should happen in a few days!!
