Disney Fanasty September 21-28, 2013 Easteren Caribbean

[dinahfig]

Hi everyone! My husband and I are planning to sail on this cruise too! Can't wait to see the Fantasy!! The photos look gorgeous! I can't remember if I had posted here before. lol! I just sent a request to join the FB group too.

 

[farynaed]

I think we've finally settled on this cruise date-after changing 3 sailing dates. Indecisive much? LOL. It will be our 4th DCL cruise 6th overall and it completes our grand slam. The voyagers are: me (Emily 36) DH (Craig 36) DD11 and DS8. We loved doing the FE on our other 7 day cruise, so I'll be in contact to get added to the Facebook group and google docs. Oh, and we'll be coming from Nashville.

This is our first Disney cruise and I have been reading a lot about the fish extenders and the group that has formed for this sailing date. Is there anyway I can join the fish extender group? I dont have facebook (I know shocking), is there another way to join.

Thanks

First, welcome!

You can request access to this google doc - when you do, mention your DIS name so I know who the request is coming from. In there, you can add your party's information.

I went to the link you gave me and then requested access. It did not have anywhere to put my DIS name, but my DIS name is the same as the email it was sent from. And bc I dont have enough posts it won't let me email you or private message.

I've approved your access request! Please add your info to the appropriate columns. If you have any questions about it, let me know. You can either post them here or email me through the google doc. My gmail address is the same as my DISname on here. I can check my gmail through my phone, but won't be checking posts here until after next Friday.

Thank you for the doc. Not sure if my email went through so figured I'd play it safe and ask on here to. Ive never done a fish extender so I have a few questions

1. are you going to be splitting the group into smaller groups?

2. If not are you going to cap it at a certain number of cabins? or a cut off date to join?

The reason I'm asking this is bc I will be having my 3rd wrist surgery soon and wont be able to use my hand for quite a while so will need to get all my gifts done before the surgery. Thankfully I'm technically already packed so at least thats one less thing to worry about.

3. On the document there is a column that says FE? and FE Room. Would I just put yes and 1? (I basically just followed what everyone else did)

4. We have a gty room, so dont have a cabin yet, I'm assuming when we get it, usually a month out just update the doc?

Thank you

We'll be joining you on this trip. It will be me, my husband and our 2 kids, daughter age 10 and son age 8. We are super excited. I have very little knowledge of the FE stuff. I guess I need to read up on it, unless someone wants to summarize what it's about for me

We are in cabin 8098. Can't wait!

 

[ShawnaLyn]

Well pooh. I wanted to join the facebook page for the cruise, but I can't send a private message because I just joined the forums and haven't made enough posts to have messaging privileges

 

[MDennis28]

We are on this cruise. Yippee! Is there a FB group as well? If so, I would love to be a part of it too. Thank you!

PM me on FB (www.facebook.com/fundulidae) with your name. And if you are interested in doing the FE, send your email address as well - I'll use that to give you access to the Google doc.

I'll watch my "other" box on FB for the message to come through - most messages from people I'm not friends with go there so I've learned to keep a close eye.

Request access to this page:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/424481097566602/

And PM me either on FB or here with your DISname, real name, and (if you want to take part in the FE) your email address (which will be used to give you access to the google doc where that info is kept).

It went through - but I was on vacation and thus not answering emails.

1. No
2. I think we decided on 45 days prior for the cut-off date to join in.
3. You would put "yes" and then the number of rooms that will be participating. (Most people just have one room, some have more.)
4. Yes, just update the doc, and if there are any last minute changes, you can put a post-it on my cabin door (9512), which will serve as the "message board" for the group.

I know some who are here may not be on our FB page and vice versa, so if you are interested in possibly doing this I am cross posting the info:

*I need your names as booked on your reservation (Palo and Remy are adults only so only the adults) and your stateroom numbers as well as your confirmation numbers.

*We will work with doing these things on the three sea days. So, we can have a Palo brunch and a Remy brunch, and on each three sea days. So I need to know who would like to do Palo on the 22nd, Palo on the 23rd, and Palo on the 25th (that should be the dates of the three sea days) as well as who would like to do Remy on the 22nd, 23rd, and 25th.

*There can only be 14 people on each date, so have back up dates in mind in case your first choice is not doable. Also, if there are any of you who want to do this on port days, let me know, though I think the consensus was sea days worked better.

*Charges for the event will be split evenly between attendees on that day and posted to your shipboard accounts.

Hi everyone!
I'm Kristen and my family and I will be sailing on this cruise with you. We took our first Disney cruise last March on the MV of the Fantasy and booked this cruise on board! We have been looking forward to it every since the day we left the ship!
I have requested to join the FB page so I will see some of you there (and probably more often). I am excited to get on the FE list too...I LOVED participating on our last cruise, it made for great added magic.
My kids are Josephine (5) and Anderson (14 months), so if you have children similar ages I'd love to know and maybe we can plan a meet up for them.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all virtually and in person in September.

Kristen, welcome!! My son will be 18 months old on this cruise. I've never really traveled with him, so it should be interesting. Lol.

Hi Everyone! I'm brand new to the forum (found it on a video that I saw on YouTube) I would love to join in on the fun! My hubby, and daughter that will be 20 months at sailing will be on the ship. It is my daughters second cruise - but our first with Disney! I have read most of the thread, so I would like to join all that we can... may i send an email to be added?

 

[fundulidae]

Hi all - just a reminder that when you request access to the Google doc or FB page, please remember to PM me either here or on FB with your DIS & real name so that I know who is requesting access.

You'll also need to send your email address that you use for Google docs if you want to be part of the FE group.

I've got several requests on both the FB page and Google doc that I don't know who to associate with on DIS.

Just want to make sure we keep the group info private to those who are taking part.

Thanks!
Stephanie

Geez, logged on at 8:00pm AKST and ALL cabanas were already sold out. What a bummer.

Yes...that is a real bummer. :-(

 

[sperkins921]

That is a bummer!! Must be a lot of platinum and concierge people wanting a cabana this time around
