Thank you Michelle and Rachel for all you are doing to keep us organized and on track! I've completed the join us form and I've requested to join the FB group. Looking forward to getting to know you all!!

So much activity since I've been on this thread - I thought I had signed up for email notifications when ppl posted here, but I guess not! I'm on it now.

So excited about all of the activities that are planned! This is my 2nd cruise, first time on the Fantasy. Last cruise was 4-night Bahamian on the Dream in April 2013. It was wonderful! We participated in the FE but the group didn't have planned activities so I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! My kids will be 6 (Ben) and 8 (Ainsley) when we cruise - I'm happy to see lots of kids their ages in this group that they can meet at the start!

For the ornament exchange - should we wrap them up (like Christmas presents)? Looking forward to this!!

Good Morning my Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas Cruisers!!!!! Hope everyone is having a great start to their weekend. The web page has a few updates added. Just so everyone knows -- The FE list will be created in the summer. As it stands now, we have 16 participants in the FE. I anticipate based on last yrs cruise, we will end up with 2 lists. Thus these lists will be started about June/July. Gives everyone time to start making or buying there products. I would ANTICIPATE about 25-30 rooms and the amount of kids is unknown. If you are traveling with another family(like extended family not same household) you will be placed on separate lists. From past experience this just makes sure each stateroom participates and not just giving one gift for 2 staterooms. Hope everyone understands this, if you don't feel free to PM me. Thanks all...have a great weekend!! posted on FB as well

Hi Michelle,

I read your response regarding the split FE lists. Can we requests that our two cabins get included in the same list? Each cabin will be giving separate FE gifts but we would like to be part of the same lists. Since we will have kids on both cabins we would rather they get the same gifts to avoid them fighting over them. Please let us know if that's possible.

Thanks

Hi The ornaments for the exchange can be wrapped or in a gift bag. It just makes it more fun to open.

We do need a minimum of 25 ppl or Disney wont let us have the I will have to charge this to my credit card as Disney will not bill to each stateroom separately. So I am going to ask everyone that wants to go to send me payment 2 months prior to cruise via paypal or check. The girl who ran this on my last cruise got stiffed by people who said they were going to pay her on the ship and never did. I kind of don't wanna be in that boat (haha...pun intended).

So hopefully we will get more people wanting to do this. So far we have 9. But I guess there is still plenty of time for more people to join in on the fun!!!

Just to let everyone know: I have switched from this sailing to the 2/28/15 Fantasy, to put some space between my 11/8/14 Fantasy and next cruise. I have removed myself from the FB group.

Have a wonderful holiday cruise everyone!

Mine too LiAnne. I dont know if I want to go back to the classic ships. We really love the Fantasy. I think I do want to try the Dream next year and go to Disney World too. Probably around Halloween time. That's your annual cruise time right?

I suppose you could say that. It just sort of happened that way two years in a row because Disney tends to run great discounts during October.

Welcome! I am on my phone app right now so I can't direct you to the section of the DIS that you are looking for but there is an area dedicated to graphics. So you can get the designs and edit them accordingly for your stateroom doors.

As far as the FE goes on the website for our sailing, Michelle has some information about it. You can all read a lot all over the DIS about it too.

I hope that helps but honestly search or reading various threads under the Cruise forum probably will be your best bet.

My favorite character is Mickey Mouse of course. Because it all started with a mouse!! But I my favorite Princess is Belle. She seems to be the easiest for DCL to get a "friend" like her.
