Hi Amy and welcome to the thread! If you have facebook it's a bit more active on the facebook page for our cruise as the updates are a little more clear. Without looking at it, I think we have 10 or 11 families signed up so far, as best I recall, but I'm sure sparker0699 will have the actual count since she took the lead in running the FE. Welcome aboard!

Hooray! I did sign up on the FB page as well. We told our four kiddos yesterday and they are so excited! I have to get started on our FE now

My family will be on the December 1st cruise as well - me, DH, DS (12) and DD (8). Our son knows about the trip, but DD still does not know and we are hoping to keep it that way. It appears that I have a lot of thread reading to do to learn all the ins and outs of a Disney cruise!

Welcome aboard! If you're interested in the Fish Extender let sparker0699 know soon. I think the close date is coming up sometime next week. Also, the facebook group for this cruise is fairly active as well, if you're interested. See you aboard!

Last call for FE participants. Deadline to sign up is 10/15/12. So if you haven't added your family to the list and want to join, send me your info here or on our FB page. I think the fish extension exchange will be a fun addition to the trip. Don't miss out. Thanks so much!

Hi all! We are toying with the idea of going on this cruise, as long as we can get good airfare! I am just waiting to clear it with my office as well. However, if we book, we would love to join FE as it was a huge success on our Fantasy cruise this past May, but may not be confirmed by the 15th... Any chance we could be last minute entries in the fun?
We are mom, dad, dd17, ds15 and ds4.

We visited same ports last cruise, but only did one excursion (dolphin swim in GC) and want to do a beach excursion this time (maybe in Coz) since we won't have castaway cay!

Hi and welcome! Hope it works out for you to get to go!

Welcome aboard gigi1313. We would love for your crew to join us on the cruise. I'm going to add your family to the FE exchange list so we can plan to include you all in the fun.
When you finalize details just send the updated info to me either here or on the Facebook page and I'll send out it out to the group. I'm still missing a few cabin numbers and such, that will need updating too. If you don't book the trip, just let us know and will take you off the list.

Still waiting on my cabin #.

I just found this (so new to all this) and will be on this cruise. Is it too late to sign up? I saw that the deadline was 2 days ago, so if we are too late to join in, that's ok. Just thought I'd ask. Have fun, fellow cruisers!!!

Welcome to the group!! The FE list was just finalized yesterday I believe but I don't think anyone will mind if any others join. I am not participating so hopefully I am not out of line by saying that. We do have a facebook page that is much more active if you want to join. The link is in this post.

Just counting down the days.....

 

[Menada1115]

I actually don't have a facebook account. I know, I know....I need to keep up with the times. haha!
We are really looking forward to it. It was booked totally last minute. We got a great deal on this cruise and couldn't pass it up. haha. We actually had a Disney World vacation planned already in November that we had to reschedule to March 2013, so that we could go on this cruise instead.

You must have seen my other post on Cozumel. I recognize your screen name. I haven't been getting much work done at the office with the trip coming up. LOL!! And in the evenings I bother everyone on the FB group wasting time away at the gym ;-) We are planning to meet on the first day. After the life boat drill and before the sail away party in the promenade lounge. This will give us a chance to meet, finalize any outstanding FE items and then head to the party together for our LO's to have fun together.

Be prepared to get sucked in and start saving for your next cruise!!! DCL is really a great experience and I am sure you will love it seeing how much your family travels to WDW.

PS - I just posted on the FB group to alert the FE organizer, Stacy, that you would like to join.

 

[Menada1115]

Yea, I hear ya'....thankfully, I am a stay at home mom. I would be getting ZERO work done otherwise. Planning and planning and more planning.

Our family is actually traveling with 2 other groups, so we are part of a pretty big group all together. I just thought my family could join this FE exchange and make it a little extra special. Point being, not sure I would be available to meet up with everyone on the 1st day because there are so many of us....I may be pulled in a different direction. haha!

 

[Menada1115]

Ok, so my sister wants to join also. This would make us 11 people. My family is 6 and her family is 5. If it is too late to add this many people on the list, totally understand. I know a lot of work goes into this, so I really do get it. Just let me know! Thanks!!!

 

[sparker0699]

Welcome Menada1115;
We would love to add you and your sister's cabins to our FE exchange. I figured we would have a few extras to add on (or ones that I've overlooked).
However, I will need names, children's genders and ages, cabin #s and other additional info like allergies, special celebrations, fav characters... to share with the group.
I will send you the list of the participating cabins and families too. I'll do my best to update here on DIS boards and on our FB page too.

Don't know about you... But I'm ready to set sail!

 

[Menada1115]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are beyond thrilled!!! Thank you- to all of the group- for allowing us to join! We cannot wait! And, oh so yes- we are ready to set sail!!!

Thank you, again, SO MUCH for letting us join in the fun!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!

ETA: Deleted personal info since you already have it saved!

 

[sparker0699]

Ok Ladies. I've got your cabin info added to our list. I tried to send you a PM about all the participants on the list... but, not sure it went through. I'm not all that familiar with the DIS board "how to's".
If you want, send me your email, and I'll send it to you directly.
Thanks

[Menada1115]
