Setf- Oh no….first time on site? I’ve been visiting WDW since 1991. First time on site was 2004. I never stayed offsite again.

That is what I hear! We have been 3 times before and never ever stayed on property! I am so excited to try it out! and Tongan Toast!! CAN'T WAIT for that!!!

Which is your favorite hotel in WDW?

 

[Stefanie Peacock]

Hi everyone!!! I am so excited to take my kids 6 and 4 on our first disney cruise...

WELCOME! You will LOVE LOVE LOVE Disney cruising. It is the best! Food is great, entertainment superb! and Castaway Cay..... there are no words for it. AMAZING!

I am excited to see how many people joined since I last checked in! YAY!

 

[Stefanie Peacock]

So, who is going to take charge of our group? LOL

I say we elect someone to be in charge and get everything together and organized for Fish Extenders!

We even had buttons and shirts on our last cruise and a meet and greet. It was so fun!

What does everyone think???

Um.... I might be willing to volunteer. I have a FB group set up already, as this started out as a cruise for some runner friends that are part of another forum as well as Dis. The link/info is on page 3 or 4.

I'll never be able to live up to the people that organized the FEs and such on the Fantasy MV, but I can sure try!

Okay sweet! I am totally willing to help too! We just need to get a list of everyone coming and if they are doing Fish Extenders and what their room numbers are. Then put it all together and give a list out to everyone.

I was thinking that maybe we could make T-shirts, Make a print and everyone who wants one could send in the money like through pay pal with their address and then we could send them their shirts. I dunno, I just have been thinking and want it to be the best time for everyone!

Super excited!

What does everyone else think?

Come join the FB group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/424481097566602/). I'm trying to put together the lists on there. There are docs already started with those interested in the FEs. There are also lists for room numbers, dinner seatings, celebrations, etc.

If you want to take on the T-shirt thing, that'd be great. For the MV, someone did lanyards, rather than t-shirts... and those went over really well. (We personally aren't big t-shirt people because with as much running as we do, we have a more than ample collection of shirts... a recent count before we sent things to Goodwill was well over 600.)

NICE! Sounds like you are on top of things and I agree, lanyards would be much better!

Well Stef I travel with mother, and she turned 80 this year. She loves Boradwalk. We do the point retal thing for a one bedroom. That way we can walk to EPCOT her favorite park. We go durring the Food and wine Fest.

I liked the Poly. We have not stayed there. But have had a meal and another time we stoped off for a drink and bite on our monorail eat and drink night.

That is so awesome. I am excited for you! Last week I surprised the family with tickets to Hawaii and we will be stopping over at Aulani. The kids are ecstatic!
Looking forward to that! We leave October 12th! My kids actually made a count down booklet. So cute!! Love Disney! We just cannot get enough!

 

[AJA55]

Looks like we’ll both be heading west on October 14th. That’s the day we return home to the Pacific North West from WDW.
A surprise trip to Hawaii?!?!? Wish someone would surprise me with a trip. Well I shouldn’t complain. I’ve been lucky to visit Maui twice on the cheap. Just paid a friend’s condo dues.

[fundulidae]

Hi all,

I am creating a Google doc with the FE information. Please PM me your email address so I can add access for you. You will be able to add/edit your cabin & travel party information there.

Thanks!

Done

So, this may be some helpful info for those doing land and sea. I checked in on rates and it is cheaper for our family to rent a car the entire time and park at the port then doing the shuttle for the whole fam. I like this better because then you do not have to rush. Last cruise we were literally like the last people off the cruise. LOL It was nice taking our time... and this is weird... a mini van is the same price as a huge 12 person van for 2 weeks. My parents are coming with us, so we will do the huge van.. also we will be taking our double stroller. So good news for us. Thought I would share!
Also, if you are looking for a Fish Extender, this lady: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Gradysmommy?ref=search_shop_redirect she made ours and she did an amazing job. We learned that she also makes pillow cases and if you leave them with guest services, with fabric markers and a bag of treats, all the Disney Characters aboard the ship sign your pillow case and they are delivered back to your room on the last day. It was amazing and such a keep sake! Super excited!!!

 

[fundulidae]

I have heard about the pillowcase signing before. I think I am going to have to make one for the characters to sign. Kinda sad I didn't do it on the Fantasy Maiden Voyage.
