Disney Dream August 7th-10th, 2015 Fish Extender Group- WE ARE FULL!

[luvag8r]

Hi Fellow Cruisers! Here is the final spreadsheet with all NINE families! I have to tell you when I started this group, I wasn't sure I'd get anyone to join so I am very happy to have you all here.

Some important information regarding gift delivery....
Virgil (Smaltz) pointed out that both his family and mine (Reese) are located on concierge floors. In the past, this has posed a problem with delivery of items to the FEs, but I just got off the phone and was informed that this is no longer an issue. All guests may now access concierge floors without a problem. Thanks to Virgil for pointing that out so that I may get clarification!

As for the Meet & Greet, I still haven't heard back from more families, so at this time, I will wait. There's still time to organize a quick rendezvous somewhere on ship if more are interested.

Looking forward to our cruise! 24 days and counting!

Thanks for checking on that - as we have never cruised on the newer ships. We are staying 5 days at Vero Beach DVC and then driving up for the cruise. We are definitely looking forward to this cruise!

We would certainly enjoy a meet and greet. I was a little concerned about the concierge delivery, too. How far in advance, if I may ask, did you book your cruise? We didn't book until June and I think we got the last room on the 9th floor. Won't stay on the 10th! We are going to WDW after the cruise for just a few days before the kiddo goes back to college and I go back to high school...anyone else doing something before or after besides the Smaltz family?

I booked our cruise back in early April. We were down to the last two rooms or so on the 11th floor even then. (I had read reviews on which floors to stay on, as well.) Enjoy your time at WDW! We live in Windermere where the back gate to our neighborhood is literally about 10-15 mins from property. It's so nice to be able to head to a park or Downtown Disney for the afternoon whenever the urge hits us.

We're spending 4 days in Disney before the cruise. We are DVC members so we've done alot of Disney trips. This will be our first Disney cruise! We're from Boston and we booked this cruise way back last September. It gave us something to look forward to during our long & painful winter.

 

[Candace555]

Anybody making their fish extender? I made ours today...I'm not at all crafty. It's not looking very good

 

[polyqueen]

Etsy has become my friend. I have absolutely no talent at crafting ANYTHING. We ended up ordering one on-line. I hope it arrives soon. We'll have our first stay at GF Villas after the cruise; our home resort is BC. Counting the days....

 

[Candace555]

Good idea Poly! I checked out Etsy but most had a 6 week turnaround. I was afraid to risk it. Nice to meet another DVC member family! Our home resort is Saratoga Springs. We are counting the hours

[luvag8r]

Welcome Johnna and family! Yes, you are welcome to join our group. Hopefully no one will object since I'd like to allow any last minute joiners if possible.

I finished my FE a couple of weeks ago but have yet to get more than conceptual ideas and a few supplies for the gifts. I will do that starting today! If we have Charlotte's family (last one, I promise) join us, then the group will be closed to any others wishing to join. We're just too close at this point.

Here is my FE, by the way! Good luck to all!

We are doing a NASA day before our cruise and doing 10 days at the Beach Club after the cruise.

Thank-you much! I know yours will be great!

 

[polyqueen]

We're spending a night at the Beach Club, too. We need that pool after our long winter and our up-until-now wet and stormy summer (Chicago).

 

[CharleyK]

Hi guys. Would love 2 join this group. There's me (Charley) and Olivia. Me I like Minnie and stitch. Olivia who's 15 shortly after the cruise likes ariel. T shirt size is adult medium for both of us. No allergies. Can't wait for our cruise.

 

[luvag8r]

Wow! We are FULL! We are now 11 families with the latest additions. Welcome Horner-Morgan and Knott families! I have updated the final version of our spreadsheet and have even added a little area for you to keep track of gift ideas for each person. Please notify me asap if I have made an error or if something needs changing/adding.

I am working on specifics for the Meet & Greet, so stay tuned for that info once I've got it all arranged.

Thanks!
Tracey

Hello FE Friends,
Our cruise is fast approaching--I hope your family is as excited as we are. Our FE has arrived, classes are winding down (except, of course, for finals!) and summer has arrived with a vengeance in Chicago. Look forward to meeting you soon.
