Ok, everyone let's vote!

How many cabins would everyone like to have in our FE Groups?

10, 15, or 20?

I am also hoping to do the Princess 10K debarkation morning---how many others are planning this? I always run alone and make friends as I go, but it would be great to start with some friends.

I will be running alone, as in nobody else in my travel party is running with me, so I would love to be able to start with people from our group!

I am in!!! Maybe we can meet up early at the expo? I'm so excited to meet some others that don't think I'm crazy to run on vacation.

That sounds like a plan! Is the expo on Friday or crazy insane early on Saturday? This is my first runDisney event, so I'm clueless lol.

I am running alone too, but I imagine my pace will be on the slow side. When do you guys plan on flying down. I'm hoping to get there Wednesday by noon.

 

[PryncessLace]

We are driving down Thursday!

How close are you? Driving for us would be 16 hours without stops

We are about 8 hours with stops. We live in Northwest Florida.

We are in WV but about 1.5 hours from DC.
This cruise is way to far away for me. I feel like I need another vacation in between. It doesn't help that my mom is at WDW with my sister right now.

I am so excited about this cruise! Let's introduce ourselves and with a Cast of characters names and ages (if Kids) at time of sailing! I am Tracy the DM of our family. I am cruising with my DH Buddy, my two DD's Kaylee (12) and Emily (10). We are also taking my parents in a connecting cabin and they are Kenneth and Carolyn. We are interested in organizing a fish extender and a group meet and greet if others are interested!

We just booked and it will be our first cruise! I'm Susie and Ill be with my DH Calvin, DS Luke(17) and DD Alyssa(11).
We are trying to think of a fun way to surprise the kids, hopefully soon cause I am about to burst!

Welcome to the group! I was talking to my son about what type of vacation he would want to go on and how/when he wants to know... He wants to be surprised the day of so this is going to be a long wait for us! He is going to love going with us and both his grandmas

Hi Everyone! Joined this cruise while on the Fantasy February 28-March7. This will be our 11th cruise, first time platinum!! Just the two of us so we won't be doing the Fish Extenders.

My vote is for 10 or 15. Definitely less is better - both to bring, deliver, and bring back. I also would suggest setting a cutoff deadline for sign ups. Our last cruise we had tons of people wanting to join the week before. It's too tough to plan and shop otherwise.

I am thankful we have a week at a beach house scheduled between now and then! It's not Disney, but it's my DD9's first year visiting a beach we used to go to almost every year when I was a kid.

On a Disney note, it's our spring break this week and SO many friends are posting WDW pics right now! Driving me crazy! lol

Hi! New to this board here...I am booked on this sailing with my DH, teen boy (16) and my daughter (7). We are AVID Star Wars fans!!! WE sailed on the Magic in November to the same itinerary, but with Jamaica. We loved it but the weather was not so great so we had trouble tendering at certain ports and missed Castaway Cay (our favorite!) This sailing in Feb 2016 will be our 3rd, and we are celebrating my son's senior year (yikes! where did time go???)

We are looking to join a fish extender group also...any tips on where to find a good group?

I look forward to meeting everyone!

Hi & !

This is the group here on the Disboards for all meetings for this cruise including the Fish Extender! Just leave a comment here specifically requesting to join the FE with your groups information and Tracy will get you added! Also include if you're interested in doing the mixology class and other meet ups.

So far everyone is really great and I think it's going to be an amazing time!

 

[JenniferWong]

Love it! Thank you!!!

I would LOVE to join the Fish Extender group too. We are sailing on the Disney Fantasy on Feb 20, 2016. Our group includes me (Jennifer), my husband Al, son Tyler (16 but will be 17 at time of sailing) and daughter Celestia (7 now, 8 at time of sailing)

DEFINITELY interested in group meetups and mixology

THANK YOU!

Jennifer

Oh, and forgot to mention, we are from the suburbs north of NYC...Orange County, NY. Our travel agent and friend is sailing on the same cruise with us (they are also our neighbors)

OK-What I am hoping will work is to periodically upload the fish extender/mixology/meet and greet sign ups. This my first list. If you would like to be added please post in this string or pm me: Names and ages of those cruising, cabin number(s), and what you are interested in joining. Thanks and fingers crossed this works and doesn't get my knuckles cracked again.

Hi, this is our very first DCL cruise, we are super excited, as of right now it will be myself Summer (38), DS Cristian (12 going on 13 that week), if anyone else joins I will keep you posted. This is a birthday surprise for my son and it is going to be so hard for me to keep this secret for so long...lol...my sons birthday is the day after we come back (FEB 28) but we are celebrating on the cruise, he loves Star Wars as do I. So we would love to be included in the FE and I am definately interested in the Mixology and Meet and Greet our cabin #7186

Also I am so new at all of these things, I had no idea about Stateroom door decorating and Fish extenders until talking to some people and doing some research, I seem to be learning more as I go. So these forums are new to me and I would love to hear any advice anyone has for us newbies Ihave already started purchases magnets for the door and my fish extender should be done by next month thank goodness for people sharing the info. But I'm sure there is more to learn...

Like I know if you bring something to customer relations on the boat they will have all the character to sign it and have it ready for you at the end of your trip so you don't have to worry if you missed a character meet up ....Its amazing all the new things you learn about and I love how from adults to kids get so involved and love every second of it.

I'm so excited about this cruise the wait is torture and I tortured myself more by keeping this a secret from my son. I plan on going down a few days before and go to a park or two and act like we are going home on saturday, but the bus will bring us to the port )))

I also vote for 10-15 for the FE

I replied in my earlier post about this but I wanted to reply to the post itself....I vote for 10 or 15 I think less is more so to speak
