64 more days....

Thanks to all the folks who have recently posted or PMed us with updates to the F/E lists. I see that there are groups who will begin traveling in mid November. Hopefully DCL will start assigning cabins for the GTY groups at the 45-day mark (and that they have the opportunity to post those updates), otherwise we’ll need some volunteers to bring along extra copies of the lists and maps and give them out at the DIS-Meet (which would be a very good thing in general if someone would like to take on that little task). We will post images of the ship’s maps as soon as we know all the cabin numbers (or at least as many as possible) and will keep posting updates up until the 20th. For now the F/E lists look like this:

Hi again,
It occurred to us that since we can’t come along this December, the images that
we put together for our door magnets (and the magnet that we were going to
give out as part of our F/E gift) would just go to waste. So, we decided to
post them here for you all to have (if anyone is interested).

This is the one we were going to give out as part of the F/E

This one was our variation on the first theme for the stop in Nassau

And this one was for Castaway Cay

You’re welcome to use any of these in any way that you like. If one or two show
up on the Wonder then at least a little piece of us will be along for the ride.

 

[jtw999]

Those are beautiful magnet templates. Thank you for sharing! Sorry you are not able to make your trip though...

I have looked back in the forum and read of some people receiving a cruise package from DCL? What is in this package? I do not believe we have received anything. I'm curious as to what we are missing.....

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

I’m very surprised that you didn’t get one of these. Usually they come along with you initial reservation documents. It’s a packet that contains several booklets giving you tips on cruising, listing amenities aboard the ships, overviews of some of the excursions and answers to commons questions. They’re nice to get but not necessary. More important are the final travel documents that arrive latter which contain your boarding documents, luggage tags and final confirmations. Those should be showing up by mid November.

BTW – Thanks for the compliment on our magnet images. We have a lot of fun trying to come up with ideas and putting different images together. We've even done several requests for other cruisers. What’s really fun is when someone posts a picture of their door after they get back and we see one of our graphics displayed in the midst of the jumble.

 

[Ware Bears]

Those are lovely magnets, Rob and Tamara, thank you for sharing.

 

[CoriCW]

Oh no Rob, Tamara & Max!! I'm so sorry you won't be along with us! Thank you for continuing to look after the list.

Charleyann, I sure hope that Jacob feels better soon.

We are starting to give clues to our children about our Christmas adventure on 11/1 - 2 more weeks! Our first clue will be that we will not be at our house this year. That way they can help me get things organized, planned and packed without me having to keep it all a secret for 45 days.

 

[MSGirl]

Please be patient with me I have never posted anything(have no idea what I am doing) and have never been on DCL.

I have a DW and 1DD. DW-Ron, DD-Madalin-6. DW & I have been on one cruise with another cruise line thru Wilma; it was really bad. DD has never been on cruise. We are going to one day at Magic Kingdom on the 19th then the cruise. No one in my family knows!! I am telling DW we are going to WDW on Monday before we leave then not telling him about DCL till the 19th. I have some good ideas as to how I am telling both DW and DD. I am having to do everything secretively.

I would like to be added to the FE list.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Sounds like you got a lot of things going on at once. The best piece of advice we’ve ever seen here is this: Relax! Don’t over think or over work things. If you have questions, ask them here. Or, just read through the various threads on the boards. You will also learn a lot if you can take a little time to rummage through the FAQ thread below:

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2068966

We are the unofficial keepers of the F/E and member’s lists. Don’t know if you saw our original introduction to F/Es but here’s a link for that (just in case)

http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=33122459&postcount=131

We’ll go ahead and add what we know about your group to the list, but a little more info would be helpful. What we’re looking for from each group in the F/E is: “Cabin Number” – “DIS Member Name” – “all Crew Members & any kids ages”. All we’re missing for your group is a cabin number and your name. So far this is what we have:

???? – MSGirl – “you” & Ron, DD6: Madalin

Again, Welcome aboard and we’re glad to have you along

 

[MSGirl]

Sorry, my name is Trudie and our stateroom # is 6092.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Sorry, my name is Trudie and our stateroom # is 6092.

Not a problem, and again, welcome to the group We’ll update our spreadsheets and maps and go ahead an repost the general list below.

To All…

Charleyann

 

[MSGirl]

I have been planning this since May and my parents have been talking about joining us. They finally made up their minds and they are going!! Please add them to the FE list. They are Donald and Sabrina. They haven't been assigned a stateroom # yet. We just finished our FE's and we are going next weekend to shop for our gifts.

 

[CoriCW]

YAY!! I've finally convinced my parents to participate in the FE, too!

Please add Susan & Mike to the FE list. We still don't have cabin #s yet.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

I see we’ve picked up more cruisers, so here are the updated lists. I know a lot of y’all don’t have your cabin numbers yet, but they should be showing up around mid-November. Just post the updates back here then and welcome aboard to our new groups!!

Hi, everyone. I've never done this before, so bear with me if it seems like I'm not a pro at this

My husband (DH?, is that the code name?), Mike, and I are travelling on this cruise with our daughter, Chloe (I guess that's DD, right?) who will turn 9 years old on Dec. 21st. We originally booked the cruise to celebrate our 15 yr anniversary, so we really have a lot to celebrate in our short 3 day cruise.

We are staying with a long-time friend in Orlando, both before the cruise and after the cruise. Universal for a few days before, and then Disney for the 4-5 days after.

I would love to have a "friend" for Chloe to hang out with on the ship and during our days on-shore. We have a room booked at Comfort Suites which will allow us access to Atlantis. On Castaway Caye, we are renting bikes, snorkle gear, and floats for a day of total fun in the sun and relaxation.

We do not have a room assignment, yet, just a GTY.

Looking forward getting to know you, our fellow ship-mates

Natalia

I am travelling with my best friend our two boys both 14 years old who are also friends. We are doing the same excrusions. We booked Comfort Suites too and the same as you for Castaway Cay (Extreme Getaway) We want rest and relaxation on Castaway Cay too!!!!!!

Our price dropped on Comfort Suites from $258 plus tx down to $177 with taxes and CAA discount. Check the rates and then cancel and rebook if they are now cheaper!

Welcome Aboard!!
Glad to see more folks joining in. As the unofficial keepers of the F/E and members lists, we’ll add your group to the members list when it gets re-posted (probably this weekend). We didn’t see whether or not you also wanted to join in on the “Fish-Extenders Exchange”. If so, just let us know and then after DCL assigned you a cabin (in mid-November) post that back here as well so we can update the lists and Ship’s maps.

If you have any questions, just post them here and we’ll do all we can to help out.
