List has been updated on the first and last page of this thread.

PLEASE NOTE:
Everyone has been notified multiple times (4-5 times) about this thread that signed up early on. I have given those 3 people to actually confirm ON THE THREAD until Wednesday and give us all of their information.

As far as our final group of 12 staterooms, we are still waiting on 2 staterooms to re-confirm that they are involved still. In order to do the FE properly, one MUST check in here, because it's the only way to have the up-to-date list and if they are checking here for the list, there is no way it is not possible to write a quick comment.

All Those attempting to check-in AFTER their deadlines (Wednesday the the people that need to confirm and Friday the 16th for everyone else) will NOT make the list no matter what, even if we are short 12 staterooms. This is because I will be leaving for WDW and cannot fix the list nor can we guarantee that everyone will see the list. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not ask for an exception to the rule as I will not be able to make it.

I meant to post this yesterday but got distracted! This countdown started yesterday when we were 31 days away! I have this as a printable with the Journal Pages. If you only want the countdown just print page 2!

I am just quoting the posts of people we are waiting to hear from to give them a chance to check in.

Hello fellow cruisers

Have not heard from you since your first message here, are you still interested? We need to hear from you by TOMORROW 9/7. Thank you.

We are a family of 4...this is our first cruise, but our friends say that fish extenders are a must for our daughters! Please count us in!!! It is near impossible to find how to register for this program so please bare with me if I take a while to respond...we have already started making our gifts.

The Millers are celebrating 25th anniversary!!! Daughters: J-22 yrs. B-12 yrs. We are so excited to be part of the fish extenders group! My girls have already started gather supplies for their gifts.

Hi there! Are you still interested? You have been bumped up from the Alternate list and we just need you to re-confirm so that you can be sure to get a copy of the final list. You have until SEPTEMBER 16th (Friday) to confirm that you are in fact still interested. What dining are you in?

Hi All - this is also our first Disney cruise and I just heard about this fe tradition. Can we join as well? We are 2 adults and 2 children, ages 5 and 3.

Hi there! Are you still interested? We have not heard from you and we are beginning to finalize our lists. PLEASE check in by TOMORROW, September 7th or I will have to move you to an alternate list. Thank you.

If this post is correct with the Hill family coordination there are nine families. We would like to be the tenth. CSkalski-3 adults, 2 kids (8 & 12) plus one crafty grandma.

Cskalski is in! Sorry for the confusion. We have 3 adults (mom, dad, grandma) 2 kids (boy 12, girl 8). Please let me know how I can help. This is my first time doing anything like this.

Hi there! Are you still interested? We have not heard from you and we are beginning to finalize our lists. PLEASE check in by TOMORROW, September 7th or I will have to move you to an alternate list. Thank you.

Just made our reservations! Would love to join the fe extra group, if there is room...We will be in room 6544. Please, I live for fish extenders!

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

This will make you all smile today!

We live here in FL so we will drive. How long is your drive here??

Definitely flying - Canadians

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Don't forget to pack your autograph book! The DCL is the PRIME opportunity to meet characters and not have to wait in insane lines! My kids are beyond the age of waiting inline for an autograph but if it's quick, they don't mind and it's so much fun! We bought this book: https://www.amazon.com/Junior-Encyc...ds=junior+encyclopedia+of+animated+characters and then took it to Office Max to have them unbind it and then laminate the first page inside and the back cover page and then we laminated the back page and had them coil bind it. It all cost 8.00 when we were through and now it's light and easy to toe aroun d the parks and the ship.

I think it interesting where people are coming from to go on this cruise. We are from FL where is everyone else from?

This thread is for BOTH Chatter & FE! The FE list is closed for now, but please join us to talk about the cruise if you would like!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Updated 9/5
The MASTER list will ALWAYS be on the last page of this thread and I am trying to keep the first page one updated as much as possible.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The list has been updated to include a link to family photos that were posted. If you click on where it says 2Adults and 3 kids or whatever it may say, it will take you to the page where that person has posted their family photo
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@@
We are less 11 days from the cut-off to give your stateroom information and reconfirm. At the cut off point, I will then message everyone a copy of this list and they know who they will have to deliver to. I have removed the people we have not heard from and will add them in on a first come first serve basis.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
This list is NOW CLOSED to any additional people wanting to join a FE.
*******************************************************************************************************
Rules:
There are no rules. Seriously. I don't like to micromanage these lists and just want everyone to have fun. There is no minimum or maximum to spend, there is no requirement that it be handmade or store bought. These are gifts you only have to deliver once and can either be one for each person in the cabin or a cabin gift. You can deliver on any day you wish to deliver, but I would not wait for the day we get off the ship, because we all get off super early and some may abandon their rooms before you even begin delivery.
Thank you!

Hi, have you heard or seen any other FE's starting late for this sailing? We've done FE's in the past and my mistake on this one, I thought the kids would've decided they've out-grown this but they said - no Dad, we want to do that. So now I'm searching. Late I know, but searching nonetheless. Any insight helpful. Thank you

So far this is the only one I have seen I'm sorry! It took forever for ours to take off and just within the last few weeks we got a swell of sign ups. I have 3 people waiting until the end of today that they must confirm by, if they do not I have 1 empty spot. We are going up to 12 staterooms and that's it. If you are interested let me know or just hang around here and you will be kept updated.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Do you plan on leaving a bucket or basket of Halloween candy on the outside of your stateroom on Trick or Treat night?

We keep thinking that we want to, but are not sure if someone would walk away with our bucket! LOL! I'm thinking of painting our last name on the bucket to make it less desirable! I've been able to keep all of our door magnets this way, while others have had theirs stolen.

 

[Hillfamily4]

Ugh! I hate hearing that. All our magnets are personalized so I think we should be okay. Think I may skip the trick or treat bucket...I'm assuming there will plenty of candy to be had!

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

I am getting so excited!!!
Halloween celebration experiences include:

• Mickey’s Mouse-querade Party – Halloween party with games, trick-or-treating, dancing and meeting Disney characters in their Halloween attire
• Mask and Pumpkin Carving Crafts – Halloween-themed activities at the youth clubs
• Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas Sing and Scream – An interactive movie experience followed by a character meet with Jack and Sally
• Haunted Stories of the Sea – Spooky Storytime in the atrium
• Halloween Isn’t Just For Kids – An adults-only dance party that includes a costume party

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Don't forget to stop by the Future Cruise Desk while onboard if you even THINK you want to do another Disney Cruise! You get a 10% discount on any cruise you book AND shipboard credit (that's how we are sailing with 200.00 before we even board) AND you get 50% off the downpayment. It's well worth it, because even if you don't know when you want to sail again, you can book a placeholder cruise that is good for 24 months in which you have to pick a date within that time frame.

Right now we are booked on the Westbound Transatlantic for next year, if for some reason the rate ends up cheaper than what we have, we will change to that onboard. If not, we will add on a Panama Canal cruise for 2018 OR a Mediterranean Cruise for 2017 so that it ends up being a Back to Back cruise from the Med to the TA!

 

[amysmith282]

Thanks for sharing . And yes, we are still in!
